In fact, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was right, and it didn't rain for long.

When he got into Kuda's car and halfway through, he looked out the window and saw that the raindrops had turned into invisible rain, and it was only when they blew head-on on the windshield that he could see that the rain had not completely stopped.

And just as they reached his doorstep, the rain stopped completely.

"Go down fast, stop fast."

It's like a summer shower – in fact, it's May 23 today, and it's less than a month before the summer solstice on June 21.

Summer is indeed coming.

The car stopped, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa slowly unbuckled his seat belt, looked out the window, and thought distractedly.

The wet ground after the rain, the thick and gloomy dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate because of this light rain.

In late spring and early summer, it is basically the rainy season in Tokyo.

So—

"The rainy season is about to begin, right?"

The quasi-stationary front is about to envelop Tokyo, and it will be a month of rainy season.

The humid and gradually muggy air as it approaches summer is unbearable to think about.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's mind has drifted to the future timeline - in a short period of time, he is already on the summer vacation.

Where are you going during the summer vacation?

However, in the time of his fantasy at the moment, Kuda Moshu beside him spoke softly, pulling his thoughts back.

"Yes, the rainy season is coming, so Mr. Hirakawa will remember to bring an umbrella next, don't forget to bring it again."

The young governess always likes to advise.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa came back to his senses, turned his head to look over, and smiled: "Okay, remember." ”

However, the female teacher's advice is not over: "I don't always happen to be like today, I can send Mr. Hirakawa back." If Mr. Hirakawa didn't bring an umbrella, he might have to come back in the rain, and it would be difficult to deal with it in case he caught a cold. ”

“…… Huh? Tetsufumi Hirakawa said with some trouble.

"What's wrong?"

Of course, it's good that Mr. Kuda has the heart to send himself home, and I'm very grateful, but-

"I'm not a kid who can't take care of myself......"

Just bring an umbrella, don't talk as if he can't even do such a small thing.

As a result, Hinata Moshu just smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Who knows." ”

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa thinks that Kuda must have misunderstood him.

"What kind of image do I have in Kuda-sensei's mind......"

complained rather weakly.

"Then I'll have to ask Mr. Hirakawa himself."

"Ask myself?"

"Mr. Hirakawa, let's reflect on what you are like in front of me in normal times?"

"What can it be—"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa firmly believed that the teacher must have misunderstood him.

Usually, he's just a little lazy, likes to play tricks on Mr. Hida, is keen to find fun from teasing female teachers, and will talk nonsense, and will wander and sleep during meetings......

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't seem to be so determined.

"Ahem-" he was about to skip the topic, "Anyway, I'm going to trouble Mr. Hinata today." ”

It was impossible to hide such an obvious change of topic from Kuda Moshu, who glanced at him.

"Okay, it's okay."

"Goodbye to Mr. Kuda."

"Hiragawa sensei, goodbye."

——

Saying goodbye to Mr. Kuda, I got out of the car and stepped on the gray-black wet ground and returned home in a few steps.

It's time for the holidays to be-

Apparently impossible.

The test papers for the half-term exam have not been corrected, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa has not forgotten that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the wind club will make up for the practice time delayed by the midterm exam.

The practice was held in the afternoon, Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 7 p.m.

I have to say that it was really hard training.

And because of Miss Shinohara's urging, he must also be there.

In addition, in order to post the results on Monday, the results should be summarized to the teacher in charge of statistics on the following week.

Therefore, there is not much time left for him to revise the exam papers.

Let's work overtime seriously.

In fact, if you start correcting as soon as you get the paper, like Kuda-sensei, you should be finished.

It can only be said that laziness in ordinary times really comes at a price at other times.

This is Tetsufumi Hirakawa's experience of working overtime this time-

In fact, this is not only true for him, but also for these students who have turned in this kind of test paper.

Here I have to mention the teacher's classic quotation - "Didn't you talk about this kind of question in class?" ”

The laziness in class and the negligence in revision really have to pay the price when taking the exam.

With a random tick on the test paper, Tetsufumi Hirakawa began to wander uncontrollably again.

It turns out that no matter how much the topic is taught, it is difficult to ensure that everyone can listen to it.

It occurred to him what he had seen somewhere: the longer he became a teacher, the more pessimistic he became about the future of humanity.

Well......

In fact, the person who said this sentence is too pessimistic, right?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't quite agree with such an idea.

——

As in the past, he had a slow and leisurely style, and while reverie, he was correcting the test papers.

Finally, I finished the exam paper on Saturday morning.

Sending the results to the email address of the teacher in charge of grading marks marked the end of Tetsufumi Hirakawa's overtime work.

Got up from the desk in the study and glanced out the window.

Under the control of dark clouds, the gloomy sky never saw the sun, and according to the weather forecast, it rained for the next ten days.

So if I'm not mistaken, it's really about to be the rainy season.

It's just that now is not the time to think about it.

Retracting his gaze from the dense rain, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked downstairs.

After lunch, it's time to go to school.

——

Holding the umbrella, the small rain fell on the surface of the umbrella, and the sound of a small rustle came from above the head.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had already gotten off the train and was walking in the direction of the school.

It's just that the damp ground and damp air really don't raise any interest in such an environment.

Walking slowly on the road, fortunately, when I went out, I had reserved time.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is lazy, and he also knows that being late is not a good behavior.

At about 1:40 he walked to the school gate, and in twenty minutes he was enough to reach the wind club.

Thinking about it this way, the already leisurely pace has become slower than a few girls walking and playing with umbrellas not far away.

They spun their umbrellas and played a game of throwing water on each other's surfaces.

These students are also from the wind club, right?

Probably.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is also not very clear.

As an instructor, he only knows a few students in his class in the wind club.

Of course, the most familiar is -

"Mr. Hirakawa, good afternoon."

Shiori Shinohara, who walked up briskly from behind him, greeted him.

"Well, Shinohara-san, good afternoon." Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the girl who suddenly appeared next to him and was not surprised.

"Before I came, I was worried that Mr. Hirakawa had forgotten."

"Probably not, this kind of thing."

"Maybe."

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa firmly believes that these people have a misunderstanding of his image.
