After a little calculation, it has been about two weeks since this problem that has plagued the wind club for a long time starts with the puzzle game played by a certain wayward lady with him.

For two weeks, Tetsufumi Hirakawa has also been trying to solve it.

There were even days in the wind club that accompanied the students until 7 p.m.

Although this is what the instructor should do, it is him after all, and it is rare, so it is worth mentioning it deliberately.

In short, in order to answer this question, Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought that he had put a lot of effort into it, and he traveled from Tokyo to Kyoto to accompany Ogasa Suzukiko to visit the Uyama Wind Club.

And just today, June 6, Friday night, Tetsufumi Hirakawa can finally announce that he has finally been answered to the problems of the Moriya Wind Orchestra.

The two weeks of hard work were not in vain, and the trip to Kyoto did not return in vain, and I did not fail to live up to Mr. Ogasa's trust.

It's really gratifying.

"Hey, hey? Still alive? ”

Still pondering, in the field of vision, Ye Yue Reya's fingers waved in front of him, waved over, waved over, and waved again.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked up at her until the girl stopped her fingers.

Remember the URL

"Alive."

"You've been thinking about it for a long time."

"Really?"

"So, is there a result?"

"Naturally."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded, retracted his miscellaneous thoughts, and focused his attention on Reya Hazuki.

"Of course, thank you for your help."

“……”

Ye Yueli stiffened for a moment, and her eyes looked away.

"Alright...... It's just a small thing, don't be so solemn - so now, can I go back? ”

"My problem is over, naturally no problem. But seeing you like this, are you in a hurry? ”

Reya Hazuki looked up at the night sky.

"I completely forgot that I didn't tell the store manager about the store at all."

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was stunned for a moment.

"So, the convenience store has been completely empty for so long?"

"Hmm."

“…… Will I be fired? ”

The first time he thought of the dismissal, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was very emotional.

In other words, this is the sadness of the workplace, and he has been worried about this kind of thing.

"Probably, no? The store manager is still very good. The tone in which Ye Yue Liya said this was not very convinced.

“……”

"Anyway, I'm leaving, goodbye." The girl's gaze was withdrawn from the sky and she said goodbye to him.

"Goodbye—" Tetsufumi Hirakawa subconsciously said goodbye, but soon realized that something was wrong.

"Wait."

"What's wrong?"

Reya Hazuki stopped her steps to turn around and leave.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked around helplessly: "Hazuki-san, it's my first time in Kyoto. ”

“……”

Just at the convenience store, I was dragged by Hazuki Remi and ran to an unknown alley, and after the incident, I came out of the alley and arrived at the Uji River in a few steps.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was coming to Kyoto for the first time, didn't know the way back to the hotel.

So, it's up to this student to lead the way.

Anyway, just like that, he walked back to the convenience store with Reya Hazuki.

——

Something happened on the way.

"Hey."

"What?"

Reya Hazuki, who was walking a little ahead, turned around and shouted at him, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was looking at the unfamiliar night view of Kyoto, replied casually.

"It looks like it's raining." Reya Hazuki stopped and said hesitantly.

"Is there one?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't feel the rain.

"Yes."

Reya Hazuki raised her hand, and by the dim light on the side of the road, she could see a little drop of crystal water on it.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to stop and raise his face.

"Uh-huh, it seems really."

Still in doubt, a drop of cold rain has fallen and dripped on his face.

He reached out and wiped it, but for a moment more raindrops were falling.

"It's raining, but I'm glad I brought an umbrella when I left the hotel."

The rustle of rain gradually sounded in my ears, and at the same time, the sound of inquiries from the Kansai dialect also entered my ears simultaneously.

"So, what about the umbrella?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked to his left hand, and it was a red empty Coke can that he couldn't throw away because he couldn't find the trash can.

I looked to my right hand, and it was empty.

“…… What about umbrellas? ”

Ye Yue Limi suddenly laughed "sneer": "Yes, what about the umbrella?" ”

The cold rain dripped on his face, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa seized the time to recall.

After a few seconds, he remembered.

“…… Probably because of the incident just now, it fell into the convenience store. ”

The words fell, and in the sound of good laughter in his ears and the light sound of rain, Tetsufumi Hirakawa reached out again to wipe his face, and asked Reya Hazuki, who was a few steps in front of him.

"How far is it from a convenience store?"

With her free hands, Reya Hazuki pressed the brim of her cap.

"If it's faster, it will only take about 5 minutes."

“……”

——

Running in the rain in a little embarrassment.

The increasing rain drenched the hair on his forehead, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to reach out and brush it away.

Reya Hazuki was also running around, but because of the cap, her neat bangs were still neat.

He even had time to glance at the teacher next to him, gasping for breath and laughing sneeringly.

"You look, like, a little embarrassed."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at her inexplicably.

"What are you laughing at? You're not going anywhere else. ”

His physical strength is better than that of a female high school student, and his breath is quite stable now. Although he didn't have a hat, so his hair was very messy, but running in the rain until he was panting for breath was obviously not elegant.

In general, the situation of the two is half a catty.

However, Reya Hazuki was still panting and laughing, and she laughed a little happier because of Tetsufumi Hirakawa's inquiry.

"But don't you think it's funny that a person who was talking a few minutes ago that he, who could do anything, has now become, so embarrassed?"

“……”

There was silence.

All that was left in my ears was the click of the two people's footsteps, and the laughter and panting of Hazuki Reya mixed with the sound of rain.

He looked ahead, there were not many people on the streets of the residential area at night, and only a figure holding an umbrella could be seen under the street lamp in front of him.

There was no way to refute it.

"If this person isn't me, probably."

"Snort."

——

When they were almost drenched, Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Reya Hazuki arrived at the convenience store smoothly.

There was no one in the store, and bright lights came through the glass doors.

"Like...... Nothing happened...... Not bad. ”

At the door, Reya Hazuki took off her cap and was still panting.

"Where's my umbrella?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's voice also seemed a little undulating, but it didn't matter, he pushed open the glass door and walked in first.

It's just that the moment I entered, my body immediately trembled.

The wet body is too cold when the cold air in the store hits.

"It's cold." Reya Hazuki, who followed into the store, also shrunk her neck.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced back at her, and the girl was wearing the uniform of a convenience store employee.

"How?" Ye Yue Limi noticed his gaze, quickly clasped his hands to his chest, and said vigilantly, "Are you disappointed that there is no wet temptation?" ”

- The sentence was said quite coherently, and he finished it in one breath before he began to gasp.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa ignored her, endured the cold air, and looked left and right.

"Found it."

His umbrella was lying quietly on the cash register.

I completely forgot when I put it on.

——

Tetsufumi Hirakawa held an umbrella and stood at the door of the convenience store, facing the rain in the night.

Behind him, Reya Hazuki pushed open the door of the convenience store and walked out.

"Hey."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to wipe it?"

"What?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned around and saw that the girl had shoulder-length hair, and the wet clothes on her body had probably been changed in the staff lounge and changed into Uyama's school uniform.

She reached out at the moment, and in her hand was a brand new white towel that should have been taken off the shelf.

"Huh?"

In confusion, Ye Yue Limi stretched out her hand again: "Towel." ”

“…… Oh, thanks. ”

It took Tetsufumi Hirakawa for a while to react and take the towel.

To be honest, I didn't expect her to be so caring.

Put down the umbrella in his hand for the time being—when he put it down, he was taken by Reya Hazuki—and then, he wiped his face and hair with a towel.

"Thank you."

After wiping it, he thanked him again, handed the towel to Reya Hazuki, and took the umbrella from her hand.

"It's okay." The girl replied politely.

"Well, then, it's time for me to go, goodbye."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa officially said goodbye, and his right hand had already touched the switch of the folding umbrella, but he quickly stopped the action.

"What? Got something to say? ”

Against the bright lights in the convenience store, under the neat bangs, you can see the slightly hesitant eyes of the girl in front of her.

“……”

She was silent for a moment, holding the towel in her hand, and bowed very solemnly, her scattered hair hanging down.

"Anyway, thank you tonight."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa blinked.

Reya Hazuki straightened up and continued to speak very seriously.

"To be honest, when I was changing clothes just now, I suddenly remembered what happened tonight, and I had a feeling of hindsight - it's amazing, such an emotion."

"Really?"

"Well, it's amazing anyway. And, thank you. ”

I bowed again.

"Alright, alright, I received your thanks."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa waved his hand casually and motioned for the girl to get up.

Ye Yue Limi got up again: "Finally, I want to ask one more question. ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who received the thanks, was in a good mood: "You ask." ”

"This omnipotent Hirakawa-sensei, one day my belly suddenly grows bigger, or I wake up and all of Japan has fallen, right?"

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's smile suddenly disappeared from his face and shifted to the corners of Hazuki Reya's mouth.

Her serious posture had disappeared, and the smile in her eyes and lips was very dazzling.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at her expressionlessly, turned around, and opened the umbrella.

"Don't worry, there will never be."

He walked straight into the night rain.

"It's not too early, goodbye."

"Well, goodbye - and, haven't asked yet, can your school's wind club make it to the national competition?"

"Easily won the national gold medal."

With a casual reply, Tetsufumi Hirakawa continued to walk forward, and the lights of the convenience store quickly disappeared behind him.

I've solved the problem with the wind club, and it's time to go back to Tokyo tomorrow.
