It's the last week of May.

For the next few days of the week, Tetsufumi Hirakawa would go to the orchestra every day.

From Wednesday to Friday, plus the first Tuesday, I did not miss the daily practice of the wind club for four consecutive days.

It can be said that this is probably the highest week for Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

Of course, he went to the band club for his own purposes.

In order to solve the problem of the wind club, he kept an eye on the students' daily training and constantly communicated with Ogasa Suzukiko.

And, in order to investigate clearly, I also asked students, such as Shiori Shinohara, for their opinions.

But unfortunately, this girl did not know anything about this kind of thing.

For her, now that she has set a goal, it is normal to go all out. As for the lack of motivation of the average student, she didn't understand much.

"Lack of motivation? Incomprehensible. ”

"Then, based on Shinohara-san's daily interactions with other classmates, will you know what they think?"

Remember the URL

"Didn't get along."

"Didn't get along?"

"Well, I didn't get along."

“……”

Judging from the words "I don't get along" with a definite face, this arrogant eldest lady is too completely detached from the masses.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was completely speechless in the face of the girl's cold face.

It was a mistake to target her.

So next, Tetsufumi Hirakawa naturally changed the subject of the investigation and set the target on "ordinary students".

But how to say it......

There is an abyss between the teacher and the student - this statement is absolutely true.

In the face of the teacher's inquiry, unless the relationship is very close, the student will generally hide his true thoughts.

When faced with a negative question, such as "Why is there a lack of motivation?", these respondents did not help to solve the problem at all, except for the assurance, "Teacher, I will work harder in the future".

When the majority of a group is not motivated, it is not something that can be solved by saying "I will work harder".

All in all, it's a headache.

As a result, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to change the target again and set the target of the investigation on the minister and several ministers.

With their assistance in the investigation, some students finally confided their hearts to them.

But...... How so......

"Because the practice of the wind club is very hard, until 7 o'clock in the evening, it is natural that the morning practice will not be able to continue."

"Because I didn't have a teacher to supervise me, I just relied on myself, and I lost my mind after practicing for a long time."

"Then set the morning time as training time, right? As long as the teacher enforces it, I think we can stick to it. ”

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa has been painstakingly investigating these days, but it is not for such a superficial conclusion.

Yes, this is true, but it is a bit too superficial and superficial.

Such a conclusion was reasoned long before - the wayward eldest lady and the reasoning game he played - Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

As for the mandatory provisions, he certainly knew the method of changing self-directed practice to compulsory practice.

However, this approach can only be said to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa wanted to understand the deeper reasons and wanted to analyze the current situation of the wind club from the perspective of the group rather than the individual.

In this case, it is far from possible to ask questions alone.

So, what to do?

For three days, the problem of the wind club was not solved, and there was no sign of solving it for the time being.

Stalled.

"Ogasa-sensei, I'm sorry, but I don't have a clue at the moment."

At the end of school on Friday, in the concert hall where the students were leaving one after another, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed and said this to Ogasa Suzukiko in front of him.

The sound of raindrops breaking in through the open doors of the concert hall rang in my ears, and the mood was as invigorating as the gloomy sky.

Ogasa Suzukiko smiled and comforted: "Mr. Hirakawa doesn't need to be sorry, Mr. Hirakawa has been working hard these days." ”

"It's just out of the instructor's responsibility, and I can't boast about it, and if I can't solve the problem, I can't solve it......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled bitterly.

In the past few days, he has indeed come forward to investigate quite seriously, and even the various affairs of the head teacher have not stopped him from coming to the wind club.

But no result is no result.

"If you continue like this, you may really have to consider making the morning time a mandatory practice, after all, there is not much time left before the national competition."

Treat the symptoms and treat the symptoms, then there is no way.

However, Ogasa Suzukiko shook her head: "Regarding this, wait until next Monday, and I'll discuss it with Hirakawa-sensei." ”

"Huh? Next Monday? ”

"Well, I'll think about it this weekend."

Suzuko Ogasa said as if there was something she could do.

What's the solution?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked into the eyes behind her glasses, but he was curious.

"Well, let's talk about it next Monday."

For a moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

——

What will Ogasa-sensei come up with next Monday?

In the midst of such doubts, the last week of May, and the whole of May, came to an end.

Bidding farewell to Ogasa-sensei, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked out of the concert hall.

The corridor is bright and quiet on a rainy night, and there is no one there.

The students have gone home.

Shiori Shinohara too, after all, she can't provide much help in the current problem of the wind club, and there is no reason to ask him for something.

As for Ogasa-sensei...... Although it has been determined that Tetsufumi Hirakawa is very close to her home, it is estimated that it will be a drop by to go home.

But it's not enough to say something as strange as "let's go home together".

The two of them are not familiar to this point.

In this way, on a rainy night on May 30, Tetsufumi Hirakawa returned home alone with an umbrella.

Also, when it comes to rainy nights, it is inevitable that Amamiya nights will be reminiscent......

It's just one word.

In addition to the recent wind club, how to deal with Amamiya night has always been a difficult problem in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's mind.

In a strange association, he opened the door of his home.

But what......

Sure enough, whatever comes to mind.

Just as Tetsufumi Hirakawa touched Michael's round head and asked what kind of cat nest he wanted, he received a line.

Night: [Mr. Hirakawa, can I go to Mr. Hirakawa's house tomorrow?] 】

“……”

How to say it, let her come after being notified, it was a "temporary policy" that had been promised to her before, and she had signed a "contract", and there was no way to refuse.

But...... Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought about it and replied like this.

Hirakawa: [The teacher is going to pick a cat nest for Michael and them tomorrow, and Amamiya-san, if you want, you can go with the teacher]

As the discoverer of Michael and the "co-master...... Well...... This statement seems a bit strange.

Forget it, don't dwell on this kind of thing.

In short, Amamiya Night is indeed qualified to go and choose a cat nest for Michael.

And it's better to go out than to come home.

Night: [Choosing a cat's abode?] 】

Hirakawa: [...... Yes]

Hirakawa: [After all, Michael and the others have already settled in the teacher's house, and a few kittens have grown up, so it's not good to let them live in cardboard boxes]

Night: [This body will be invited to go]

Hirakawa: [Okay]
