Chapter Twenty-Three: The Second Secondary Disease also wants to be recognized
The shrine became silent because of the silence of the night of Amamiya.,It wasn't until a long time that the girl who felt self-remorse finally chose to speak.。
"Then, Mr. Hirakawa......" she hesitated, trying to ask something.
"Ask whatever you want, right?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at her patiently.
"Are you dissatisfied with the second disease, or do you think it's ridiculous?" Suddenly asked.
"No, of course not." That is, he replied, "But why do you ask?" ”
“……”
Amamiya didn't speak, just looked at him, waiting for his explanation.
All right.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought for a while and said, "I have nothing to be dissatisfied with the second disease, as for the ridiculous...... It's not ridiculous in the pejorative sense at all, it's just that it's just funny. Well...... How so...... After all, this kind of Secondary 2 experience should be shared by everyone. ”
"Anyone?" The girl was skeptical.
"To be precise, I think it's all there."
"Really?"
"Of course." He nodded in conviction.
It's all said here, as for why Amamiya asked this question, Tetsufumi Hirakawa has already reacted, if he hasn't reacted, then he's too incompetent as a teacher.
Why do you want to ask him if he is dissatisfied with the second disease?
Before that, you may have to think about this question clearly: why did Amamiya hide the second disease?
Here's why:
In the final analysis, the reason why the second disease is called "disease" is because it is "abnormal" and abnormal in the eyes of other "normal people", so it is called "disease".
And Amamiya doesn't want to be treated as an outlier.
She is a thoughtful, careful, and caring girl who cares about the feelings of others, and because she doesn't want her mother to be embarrassed, she prefers not to tell her mother that she wants to have a cat.
This type of person has a common problem, they are sensitive. Because of sensitivity, you can always feel the feelings of others, so you can be intimate, right?
That's it.
And now, the second middle school, who was originally hidden in his heart and planned not to tell anyone, was met by him and debunked by him. The sensitive girl couldn't help but worry:
Will she be considered an outlier?
So, now.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Amamiya and looked at the worried look on her face. All he had to tell her now was—
"Form 2 is not a big deal."
He said it in a rather affirmative tone, absolutely nothing.
In fact, everyone has more or less had a second disease, right?
"Like me, teacher."
"Teacher?"
"Yes."
Who hasn't had a Secondary 2 time?
Even Tetsufumi Hirakawa, when he was in his previous life, he also had symptoms of the so-called middle two.
Thinking that he is the most unique individual in the world, he fantasizes that he has all kinds of superpowers, such as his hand being numb, and he begins to think that he has the ability to control electricity.
There are also things like using an umbrella as a sword, a quilt as a cloak, and naming it "Flame Breath" when you breathe out in winter and look at the rising white mist.
When I calm down, I also think about some profound questions such as "about the origin of life", "the birth of the universe", and "why my soul resides in my body instead of someone else's".
This kind of naïve or secondary two behavior should be a little bit for everyone, right?
Therefore, at this moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the second middle school girl Amamiya Night, and he didn't think there was anything worth laughing at at all.
It's just Form 2, and when the mature self looks back at everything about himself one day in the future, this Form 2 experience will become a pleasant memory that makes me smile.
For example, when Tetsufumi Hirakawa was in this life, a certain middle school classmate, when he introduced himself in the first year of middle school, he faced dozens of pairs of eyes under the podium and said this:
"I, the Lord of the Gods who rule over billions of gods, the Netherworld, the end of the Endless Void, you may call me ......"
I can't remember exactly what the name is, there are definitely dozens of syllables, anyway, it's a long list of inexplicable things that only he knows.
All right...... This example may not be quite right.
It's probably not a pleasant memory. This is black history, it is something that others will feel embarrassed for the parties after thinking about it, and it is something that the parties hate to hit the wall and roll after thinking about it.
So after the slightly embarrassing memories ended, Tetsufumi Hirakawa silently threw this matter into the corner of his mind, and just told about himself for Amamiya Night, those naïve or middle school memories.
“……”
"So, that's it, even if you are a teacher, you have the symptoms of the so-called secondary two when you were a child."
"It doesn't mean that it's an anomaly, it's a child's whimsy, the result of seeing the world from his own unique perspective."
After a long list of narrations and a final summary, Tetsufumi Hirakawa watched the girl who was originally a little dazed gradually persuaded by him, and his originally worried eyes were gradually filled with some kind of fantasy color.
"Is that really the case?"
The second girl asked.
"Of course."
"Form 2 is not an outlier?"
"No, it's a thought process that everybody has."
“……”
“……”
The girl who was about to be persuaded bowed her head and fell into deep thought. Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at her quietly.
Obviously, after the girl who closed her heart was exposed, she had let go of a little guard against him. Words that were difficult to convey can now be easily conveyed.
But after a long time, he still raised his head and looked at him with slightly aggrieved eyes.
"But no one else is going to high school except me...... Is that still it? ”
“……”
In fact, it's true.
The origin of the name of Secondary 2 disease is that it is called Secondary 2 because it is more common among students in the second year of secondary school. If high school students are still like this, most of them will be accused of being naïve.
It's not for nothing that Amamiya hides it, it's her self-preservation.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa does not think there is anything wrong with this protection. Wantonly exposing one's true heart can never always be goodwill.
However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa hopes that this lovely middle two girl can be a "middle two disease" without mental burden. Don't have a depressing mentality such as thinking that you are an outlier or a patient.
Therefore, Tetsufumi Hirakawa faced Amamiya's eyes and thought seriously for a long time.
Eventually, he replied:
"Because the whims of a child stay in your body longer than other people, you have a more interesting world because of it."
"That's all."
“……”
——
After the above conversation ended, Amamiya went back to school with his head down.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't think that his words can completely change Amamiya's mind, and he feels deeply about the power of language.
But that doesn't mean it's useless. Tetsufumi Hirakawa believes that this girl will be able to more easily accept the fact that she is sick in the second year of secondary school in the future, while she is still suffering from secondary disease.
She's been suppressed for too long.
The second middle school, which is hidden under the superficial considerate character, has been suppressed by her for too long.
Why......
Why did a girl who was considerate and cared about what others thought suddenly threaten him, a teacher?
Because—
If you have been suppressed for too long, she always needs to release, which is probably her signal for help.
Moreover, the second secondary disease also wants to be recognized, especially for a sensitive secondary second disease.
And his teacher is the best target.
After all, it is a teacher's job to teach students.
