Tetsufumi Hirakawa's house, living room.

After bidding farewell to the two students who had come to visit, it was once again only Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Moki Kuda who were left here.

Sitting back on the sofa, Hinata Moki took out her phone and looked at the time.

"Mr. Kuda, what time is it?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked.

Kuda held up her phone and showed him it.

"It's almost five o'clock." Tetsufumi Hirakawa understood. Then, as if remembering something, he blinked, and slowly turned his gaze to the governess's face.

Kuda Moshu looked at him suspiciously.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa reminded, "Mr. Kuda, at five o'clock, it seems like it's almost time for dinner." ”

"......" Hinata Moshu didn't speak, putting away the phone.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa said to himself: "Hmm...... What should I have for dinner? ”

“……”

"However, as a patient, I can't cook."

The tone of distress, and in order to express his distress, Tetsufumi Hirakawa also grabbed his hair with his hand.

"You won't be hungry, will you?"

“……”

"If that's the case, that's a bit too miserable."

“……”

Kuda Moshu pursed the corners of her mouth and watched Tetsufumi Hirakawa perform by himself there.

"Eh, what the hell are we going to do for dinner?"

In the end, Tetsufumi Hirakawa still looked at Kuda Moshu with expectant eyes, revealing his true purpose.

"Kuda-sensei, do you have any solutions?"

“……”

Kuda Moshu, who pursed the corners of his mouth, was still amused after holding back for a while, "Mr. Hirakawa, that's enough, don't perform anymore." ”

"Hmm...... Performance, how can it be a performance? Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked dazed and didn't know anything.

"I know what I promised before."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa immediately stopped acting, sat up straight, and nodded: "It turns out that Mr. Kuda still remembers, that's good." ”

“……”

Kuda Moki glanced at him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled, "I said when I was in the office before, when I was sick, Mr. Kuda would cook for me. ”

"Yes." Kuda Moshu responded, "I haven't forgotten it." ”

It was during the half-term exam, before the two reached a gambling contract, Tetsufumi Hirakawa said that he wanted to taste Kuda Moshu's cuisine, but the female teacher said this at the time:

When Tetsufumi Hirakawa cooked for her, it was because she was sick, so when Tetsufumi Hirakawa was sick, she could also cook for him.

At the time, it seemed like a joke, but no one expected that Tetsufumi Hirakawa would fall ill so soon.

"I have to wonder if Mr. Hirakawa deliberately got sick in the rain because he wanted to eat my food." Kuda Moshu said.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa immediately put on a shocked look of being seen through: "I was actually discovered, what should I do?" ”

"Eh......" Hinata Moshu was a little troubled, "Mr. Hirakawa is like this...... Play hard? ”

"Of course, in order to be able to eat Kuda-sensei's food, let alone being sick, you can do anything."

“……”

Hinata Moshu was speechless, silent for a long time, stood up, and walked in the direction of the dining table.

When she came to visit Tetsufumi Hirakawa today, she brought a shopping bag with her, which contained the ingredients she had purchased for tonight's dinner.

Therefore, it is obviously something that has been prepared for a long time, and it is too naïve for this teacher to pretend to perform there for half a day.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also got up from the couch and followed behind Aki Kuda to the table.

"Actually, it's not just when I made a bet before."

He said as he walked.

"Before I went to Kyoto, I also said that I hadn't spent my weekends in a long time, and if I continued like this, I felt overworked and sick, and I didn't expect it to be a prophecy."

Kuda opened the shopping bag.

"Hirakawa-sensei's illness has nothing to do with overwork, right?"

"Maybe it's because I haven't had a holiday for too long, there are things every weekend, and overwork causes a decrease in body resistance, so I will get sick after a rain."

"So ......"

"So, to put it mildly, I'm sick because of my job as a teacher, and that's perfectly fine."

"Eh......"

Chatting, Hinata Moki walked into the kitchen with a shopping bag.

-- The dividing line for making dinner --

It was 5:40 p.m., and at the end of the range hood, Hinata Moshu walked to the table with the last dish.

At the dining table, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who had been waiting for a long time, put down his phone.

His gaze swept over the food on the table.

"Mr. Hiragawa, it's okay, it's time to go." Kuda Moki sat across from him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't speak, and in the puzzled gaze of Kuda Moshu, he drew a cross on his chest before he solemnly spoke.

"Thank you to God the Father, for giving me food and food to nourish my body, and to praise Hallelujah."

“……”

“……”

After a long silence, Hinata Moshu sighed and stopped caring about Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"I'm moving."

This teacher sometimes talks nonsense, and people can't stand it.

-- The dividing line for dinner --

By the time we finished dinner, it was close to six o'clock.

"Mr. Hirakawa thinks that my cooking can be scored?"

Kuda Moshu got up, picked up the dishes, and began to tidy up the table.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also stood up and bowed reverently.

"Thank you Kuda-sensei for your kindness."

“…… Don't take a digression. ”

"Kuda-sensei's cooking made me feel like I was sick and worth it. Scoring or something, there's no need for it......"

Hinata Moki stopped what he was doing and stared at him.

“……”

Well, Tetsufumi Hirakawa straightened up and looked away.

"8 points, no more, no more, Hisada-sensei will win."

“……”

inexplicably unwilling to admit defeat, even if she volunteered to cook for him, she couldn't admit that "her cooking skills are better", which is this.

Kuda Moshu took the dishes and walked to the kitchen.

——

After dinner, I went back to the living room.

Next to the coffee table, Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened the bag of fruit sent by the students.

"There's apples."

Kuda Jasmine is coming out of the kitchen.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't look at her, but at the apple.

"As for apples, I'd like to eat one now. It's like, if only someone could help me peel the skin. ”

“……”

After waiting for a few seconds, the footsteps approached, and in the field of vision, a hand reached down and picked up an apple.

Looking up, the female teacher's face was a little helpless.

"Mr. Hirakawa, if you want to eat, please say it directly, is it okay?"

"That's embarrassing." Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled brightly, "Thank you, Mr. Kuda." ”

——

The dessert is also over, and after a few more small talks, it is time to say goodbye.

After glancing at the time, Hinata Moki got up for the last time.

"Mr. Hirakawa, it's not too early, it's time for me to go."

"Well, I'm really bothering Mr. Hinata today." Tetsufumi Hirakawa bowed gratefully.

"Yes, Mr. Hirakawa just knew. So, be sure to take care of yourself next time, okay? ”

No matter how helpless she was, the female teacher didn't forget to tell him.

She is worthy of being a gentle female teacher.

"Got it." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said, and then he walked to the side.

"But Mr. Kuda, wait a minute, I have a gift for Mr. Kuda."

"Gifts?" Kuda Moshu blinked, he didn't expect that there was such a thing.

"yes."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa lifted a beautifully packaged gift box from the cabinet next to him.

"When I was on a business trip to Kyoto, I bought it back from Uji City. Uji's matcha is quite famous. After thinking about it, Mr. Hinata usually drinks tea...... It's still from the afternoon tea club. So—"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa handed over the gift box.

"Thank you-sensei Kuda for taking care of me all the time."

“……”

Seeing that the female teacher didn't seem to react, Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled.

"This is when I took a train back and forth for an hour on Saturday, went to Uji City, along the Uji River, and picked out a gift that took me a long time to prepare."

“……”

"Mr. Kuda, please take it."

Hinata Maki came back to her senses, her eyes swept over the gift box, and she stared at Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face.

"Mr. Hirakawa, on Saturday, you were sick, okay?"

“…… Huh? ”

"When you're sick, you run around, so you're sick again at night, right?"

“……”

"I really didn't take good care of myself."

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled in distress.

The female teacher's focus is somewhat unexpected.
