Next, Tetsufumi Hirakawa went straight to the supermarket to buy the ingredients needed to make lunch, and it didn't take much time, because he knew what ingredients he needed by heart, and he knew it as long as he heard the name of the dish.

After buying the ingredients, I carried a bag in my left hand and a mobile phone in my right hand, looked at the location sent by Mr. Hinata and walked around with a map.

The supermarket was not far from Mr. Hida's apartment, and by the time Tetsufumi Hirakawa arrived, it was only half past eleven.

I took the elevator to the fifth floor and found 503, which was the house number of Mr. Kuda's house.

I rang the doorbell, and I didn't have to wait long for Mr. Kuda's very gentle voice to be heard.

"Is it Hirakawa-sensei?"

"Yes."

The door slowly opened.

Kuda Moshu, who was wearing a fluffy bear pajamas, appeared in front of her, and she waved her hand, and the long hair that naturally fell behind her, as well as the two strands of hair floating on her shoulders in front of her, shook slightly.

"Mr. Hirakawa, you're here."

After seeing him, the corners of his face also showed a sweet smile.

It's a little cute, it's like that, and it's okay to praise cuteness anyway.

"Mr. Kuda, I'm so disturbed."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa bowed lightly and said hello.

"Alright, come in."

"Excuse me."

Mr. Kuda, who was dressed in fluffy pajamas in front of her, gave way and Tetsufumi Hirakawa was able to enter her home.

Standing in the entrance hallway, which is not very spacious, the door behind you is gently closed.

Mr. Kuda took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack next to him and put them in front of him, and when he looked at them, they were light pink.

“……”

So I took another look at Kuda-sensei's feet, the light green slippers under the crystal toes, and a moment later, when I noticed his gaze, my thumb moved uneasily.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa silently looked away and was forced to change into light pink slippers. After that, he raised his head and met Kuda-sensei's somewhat shy gaze.

“……”

“……”

There was a momentary awkward silence.

"Hirakawa-sensei, huh...... Don't stand here, come in first. ”

"Ah...... Be. ”

Nodding his head, he followed Kuda Moshu, who took a few steps back, into the living room.

Spacious and bright living room, which is illuminated by outdoor light through the daylight windows.

On the sofa sat a half-human-height doll, a rabbit, a coffee table and a TV cabinet, with all kinds of small accessories,

After a cursory glance, Tetsufumi Hirakawa put the ingredients in his hand on the ground for the time being.

"Mr. Kuda, how is your health?" looked at Kuda Moshu.

"It's okay, I had a low-grade fever yesterday, and I'm much better today."

Kuda-sensei, dressed in fluffy pajamas, replied as he walked to the edge of the sofa, sat down, and picked up the half-human-tall rabbit like a pillow, with his head resting on it.

"Thank you, Mr. Hirakawa, for your concern."

"Needless to say. Also, Why did Kuda-sensei get sick all of a sudden? ”

"Hmm...... Illness is so sudden. ”

"That's right."

"But maybe it's because I'm too tired."

"Too tired?"

"That's right, didn't Mr. Yamamoto leave? The new teacher will come next week, and until then I've been substitute for Mr. Yamamoto. ”

"That's ......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

As a result, I fell ill at the end of the day, and I was really ......

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's alright." Kuda Moshu changed her posture and pillowed on the doll, originally with her chin, but now she has changed to a side face, and half of her face is buried in the doll.

Mr. Kuda himself was wearing fluffy pajamas, and now he is holding a fluffy pillow, which looks like two dolls.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at her, and she also looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa with half of her exposed face.

After a long moment, he blinked and reached out and patted her side.

"Mr. Hirakawa, would you like to sit down for a while?"

"This ......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa hesitated in the face of the invitation, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it.

"Well, it's better not to do it, it's time to start making lunch."

Hearing this, Hinata Moki, who was originally buried in the pillow, sat up straight.

"Eh, now...... Yes, then I'm here to help. ”

"I can do it myself."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had already brought up the ingredients that were placed on the ground.

"Mr. Kuda, as a patient, don't move."

"I'm all right."

"Stay here, let you see my cooking."

Saying to Mr. Kuda, who was like a little girl on the sofa, Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned around with a smile and walked towards the kitchen.

Still, there was the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Then I'll be watching Mr. Hirakawa from the side."

"Overseer?"

"Oversight."

I turned on the light and glanced at the layout of the kitchen. We have a variety of kitchen utensils, and it seems to be in a state of constant use.

"Does the overseer not trust me?"

"Yes."

"Hmm...... Are you worried that I'm going to add something weird to my meal? ”

"Strange thing, what do you mean?"

“…… It's nothing. ”

I want to talk about sleeping pills or something, well, just kidding.

But when I looked back, Mr. Kuda's innocent and confused eyes didn't think of this layer at all.

And after thinking about it seriously, the young female teacher didn't bother with the problem.

"Then Mr. Hirakawa, let's start your performance."

"Roger."

Extremely skillfully handling the ingredients, the kitchen knife flew up and down on the cutting board.

Soon after, the boiling water vapor began to fill the kitchen, and then turned into a spiral and was swallowed up by the muffled sound of the range hood.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walks among the various kitchen utensils, and all aspects are orderly, fully demonstrating what is called cooking.

-- The dividing line of cooking --

"Mr. Hiragawa, you're a bit powerful."

About fifty minutes later, looking at the extremely sumptuous dishes on the table that looked good in appearance, Kuda Jasmine on the side let out such an exclamation.

"Just a little?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa washed his hands, wiped them with a paper towel, and walked out of the kitchen.

Kuda-sensei looked at him, pondered and said seriously.

"Hmm...... It looks great, but you'll have to taste it to find out. ”

"Let's get started."

"Okay."

——The dividing line of eating——

"Mr. Kuda, how is it, how can you score?"

After the meal, Tetsufumi Hirakawa got up and sorted out the remnants of the food on the table.

"Hmm...... Give an 8 point. ”

"Only 8 points?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't believe it, and his hands on the table paused for a moment.

Kuda Moki smiled.

"Mr. Hirakawa, I'm very picky about food, and 8 is already very high."

After saying that, she also got up and prepared to tidy up with her.

"That's right...... All right. Tetsufumi Hirakawa reluctantly accepted her score and continued.

"As a patient, sit down, Mr. Kuda, just let me come."

"Huh? This ......"

"It's okay."

"Okay."

After cleaning up the dining table, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat on the sofa with Akaki Kuda for a while, watching TV and chatting.

Small talk is basically a school thing, especially all kinds of messy things that happen to students.

After all, it's two homeroom teachers.

When it was close to two o'clock, he offered his farewell.

"Mr. Kuda, I'll go first."

Kuda Moshu, who was holding the doll, also got up.

"Then today, thank you Mr. Hirakawa."

"It should. Well, I wish Mr. Kuda a speedy recovery. ”

"Thank you."

Saying this, he was about to turn around and leave, but at this time, the doorbell suddenly rang in his ears.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the door, and then looked at Kuda Moshu with a puzzled look, but what he got was the same puzzled look from Kuda Moshu.

"I'll take a look." She said.

Hinata Moshu really didn't know who would come at this point in time.

Putting down the doll, I came to the door with this doubt.

There was a slight conversation outside the door.

"Hey, aren't we going to do that?"

"What's wrong, this is called surprise, unpreparedness."

Listen to the sound...... Looks like a student in her class?

Kuda Mosa's footsteps slowed down, listening to the sound of speech outside.

"Why is that? If Kuda-sensei's boyfriend also came to visit her at this time, it wouldn't be very embarrassing to bump into her. ”

"All I want is to bump into!"

"Huh?"

"Isn't everyone gossiping all the time, Mr. Kuda and Mr. Hirakawa in the next class are very similar to a couple."

"Yes...... Yes, I saw Mr. Hirakawa get into Mr. Kuda's car before. ”

"Then you're not curious, is it true?"

"I ...... Curious. ”

"That's right."

"Okay, okay."

"Hmm. By the way, why hasn't the door been opened yet? ”

“……”

“……”

The doorbell rang again.
