“……”

Two news in a row that were so unexpected that Shiori Shinohara didn't know how to describe her reaction after hearing this kind of news at this time.

She stared at Amamiya with an expressionless face, like a computer that malfunctioned because of an overload, and did not respond for a long time.

She was trying to digest the news, trying to make sense of it.

Hirakawa-sensei's birthday, and I'm going out with Mr. Hida.

What does it mean to go out alone on your birthday...... Pretty much self-explanatory, right?

This is, dating, right?

Shiori Shinohara, who realized this, gradually approached coldness on her face, cold to the bone.

It shows that she is in a bad mood right now.

But it only lasted a few seconds, and she still managed to recover from the worst of her imaginations, such as "Confession".

Taking a deep breath, she calmed down again.

One second to rememberhttps://.vip

"Amamiya-san, are you sure?"

Amamiya quickly answered her question with an affirmative nod.

“……”

In short, no matter where the girl got the news, the current situation is that Hirakawa-sensei is going to go out on a date with Kuda-sensei on her birthday.

Shiori Shinohara had to accept this reality, and then-

fell silent.

It's really ......

Indescribable feelings.

Only the light of the sky, which was almost pale and cloudy at this time, could express her state of mind.

It wasn't until a long time later that she raised her head again and looked at the calm and relaxed night of Amamiya.

"Amamiya-san, so ......?"

Obviously, Amamiya didn't call her out just to illustrate the news.

That's true.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" The corners of Amamiya's mouth hooked up with a smile, and again, as if he had turned into a demagogic demon.

“……”

“……”

Shiori Shinohara's teeth bit her lip lightly, looking very hesitant.

There is no doubt that the last stalk left a very bad memory for the eldest lady, the conversation in the bookstore, the chilly air of May, like a shadow.

However, Amamiya knew it, and she knew what the eldest lady was worried about.

She stepped forward and stood in front of Shiori Shinohara, looking directly into her gaze, as if her gaze saw through her.

"Because the last time it was discovered, it made Shinohara-san have a shadow, right?"

"......" defaults.

Amamiya nodded very gently, with an expected gesture.

She took out her phone and showed it in front of Shiori Shinohara.

On the screen, LINE's chat messages come into view.

"In order to prevent this from happening again, I specially hired a private investigator to assist us, so Shinohara-san doesn't have to worry."

“……”

I have to admit that Shiori Shinohara can only ...... for Amamiya's action. Smile is indicated.

——

At the café next to the station, the seats by the window, Shiori Shinohara and Amamiya sat next to each other.

A beautiful female high school student, coupled with a cute girl who looks like a junior high school student, such a combination naturally attracts attention.

However, maybe it's Shiori Shinohara's temperament that looks like a famous lady, and although the style is simple, the clothes are definitely expensive when you look at the workmanship, plus the posture of not approaching people, there are no uninteresting people trying to come up and talk to something.

Shiori Shinohara, sitting on a high chair in the café, with a table in front of her is a cup of coffee that she orders at will.

Beside him, Amamiya was also sitting, but because of his lack of height, his feet dangled in mid-air.

At the same time, she leaned her chin against the table, biting the straw in her mouth, and staring at the phone screen on the table.

The two were waiting.

"Amamiya-san, I want to know, when did you know that today is Hirakawa-sensei's birthday."

Feel free to talk.

"I've known this for a long time."

"So, what have you prepared for today?"

"I won't tell you."

“…… Why did you just tell me today? ”

"No why."

“……”

“……”

The conversation entered a state of speechlessness for a long time, and when Shiori Shinohara was looking at the crowd of people passing by outside the window, she suddenly heard Amamiya Ye beside her speak.

"Mr. Hirakawa is out."

Shiori Shinohara glanced sideways, it was a message from the private detective that Amamiya was looking for.

“……”

Sure enough, Mr. Hirakawa was going out...... Who else can you go out with?

Shiori Shinohara picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip, slightly bitter.

——

Sitting by the café window with a good view.

After waiting for a long time, the two girls finally saw Tetsufumi Hirakawa entering from the edge of their vision.

He held his mobile phone, walked slowly, leisurely, and seemed to be expecting something, and walked towards the tram stop.

It wasn't until he entered the station and disappeared from view that Amamiya shook his feet and jumped out of his chair with his coffee.

"Shinohara-san, it's time for us to go."

“……”

Shiori Shinohara didn't respond, but she also took her coffee and got off the chair.

——

At the tram stop, the two of them watched the teacher's reaction from a distance, barely visible.

He stood in the waiting area, waiting for the tram to arrive, and at the same time, picking up his phone from time to time to look at it a few times, and then tapping on the phone screen.

The expression on his face, presumably smiling.

"It's smiling, indeed."

Amamiya said after glancing at the message on his mobile phone.

“……”

Talking to someone and looking forward to meeting – that's the state of the teacher.

Shiori Shinohara had nothing to say.

——

For the rest of the day, the two girls kept a safe distance with the help of the private detective invited by Amamiya Night.

In the same way, they are constantly following the teacher's trail.

The meeting between the two outside the square is naturally like the posture of a couple; Lunch in the restaurant, as well as in the cinema.

"Huh...... This movie is a teacher-student relationship. ”

“……”

"A high school girl who was hurt by her family, ...... with a teacher who redeemed her"

Amamiyaya's voice, which was reading the synopsis of the movie, gradually deepened until it disappeared.

“……”

The two people sitting in the corner of the theater fell silent.

In this way, in the dark environment, the gorgeous, ever-changing screen light, in front of it, there seems to be an ambiguous atmosphere brewing.

——

After the end of the movie, there is the aquarium, which is next to the crowd, and the eyes touch and meet at a very close distance...... Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Maki Kuda, just like a real couple, on their birthdays, in this place...... Meet.

And Shiori Shinohara, she can only hide in the corner and watch silently, and all that accompanies her is Amamiya Night.

“……”

“……”

The bitterness of the coffee tasted at noon has not dissipated until now, Shiori Shinohara lowered her head, and in her ears, it was the music of the mermaid venue and the exclamations of the crowd.

and—

"Mermaid Show...... The two were very close. Moreover, Mr. Hirakawa seems to be looking at Mr. Kuda. ”

Amamiya broadcast live for her at night.

"I took pictures, I took a lot of photos, all of them were Mr. Kuda."

was defenseless, and only the two of them were left in sight, so they naturally couldn't notice the private detectives around them.

“……”

Shiori Shinohara's heart, just like that, slipped uncontrollably somewhere.

Until.

"It's time to go, Shinohara-san."

The mermaid show was over, side by side, and the two teachers walked out of the venue.

“……”

——

On the square, the evening breeze is blowing, all kinds of lights, and the two are walking.

"During the walk, it seems that I didn't say anything."

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Maki Kuda walk, Shiori Shinohara and Amamiya night walk.

Time passes in such a situation, and it goes on.

It wasn't until a long time that things changed.

"Mr. Hinata is gone, and Mr. Hirakawa is standing still...... I should have been waiting for her. ”

“……”

“……”

"Kuda-sensei is back, and she has ...... in her hand"

——

The hustle and bustle of the crowd is intertwined with various neon lights, and under the huge billboard, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stands quietly, the evening breeze blowing on his cheeks.

Mr. Kuda specially told him to stand where he was and wait for her...... So, what kind of surprise will this teacher bring to him?

Expect.

Today's day, no matter what, even among the many birthdays that Tetsufumi Hirakawa has spent, can be regarded as of a very important significance.

The first private trip with the female teacher, the memories of every time spent are worth keeping.

Thinking back to Tetsufumi Hirakawa today, with a faint smile on his face, waiting, waiting for the arrival of Hida.

Shadows kept passing by, until.

"Hirakawa-sensei."

The most familiar sound, from the voice of the gentle female teacher, brought to the ears from behind the evening breeze.

The memory was interrupted, and the smile on the corner of Hirakawa Tetsufumi's mouth couldn't stop rising from the moment he heard the voice.

"Kuda-sensei, can I turn around?"

"Wait."

The footsteps are approaching, and the gentle voice is also approaching.

"Okay, I guess...... What is it? "Cooperatively, guessing.

"What is it?" Kuda Moshu stood behind Tetsufumi Hirakawa, one step away, in a light tone.

The beautiful face of the female teacher, with a little light makeup, was reflected in the flickering firelight of the night.

The people passing by around them all cast amazed eyes.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at the reaction of passers-by, and in the reflection of the lenses, there was a dancing fire.

In fact, you don't need to reflect the light to guess it.

The smile grew thicker, but the tone remained calm.

"Something that surprises me, I guess."

"Good general answer."

"That's ......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is making rambling speculations.

In the soft voice of the female teacher, they were rejected one by one.

"Huh...... It's hard to guess. Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed.

"Yes." Listening to the extremely cooperative exclamation in his ears, Hinata Moshu smiled shallowly.

In fact, Hinata Moshu is no longer the simple teacher who faced Tetsufumi Hirakawa. Just by looking at it and listening to the tone, you can tell what the teacher in front of her means.

So......

It's clear.

"So, great Kuda-sensei, may I ask, will I be able to turn around now? I can't wait to witness Kuda-sensei's surprise. ”

Hearing these words with a strong tone of expectation, looking at his back, gently, Kuda Moshu nodded.

"Well, Mr. Hirakawa, please turn around."

Passers-by who are either turning their backs away from the distance or looking back curiously in front of them, and next to them, stop and watch with amazement on their faces......

In the end, all irrelevant people disappeared from view, and only a young and beautiful female teacher was left in front of him.

She held a small cake, the light of the candle dancing in the night of the light, and the orange glow sprinkled on her face.

"Happy birthday Mr. Hirakawa."

Her lips and teeth opened, and this gentle blessing floated from her mouth into Hirakawa Tetsufumi's ears for the fourth time.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face was also stained with fire, and he looked quietly into the eyes of Maki Kuda with a smile on his lips under the light of the flames.

Eyes met, reddish cheeks hidden in the firelight.

Hinata Moshu looked away slightly.

"Mr. Hirakawa, alright...... Let's start making a wish. ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't answer immediately, but was very willful, and kept sweeping his gaze over the young and beautiful faces.

This made the words of the female teacher in front of her seem to take on a slightly shyness meaning.

“…… Mr. Hirakawa, don't look at it, make a wish. ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but laugh even more.

"Don't laugh."

The tone immediately changed to "vicious".

"Good, good." Perfunctorily, he replied while laughing.

Only when the laughter stopped did he solemnly close his eyes and put his hands together in front of his chest.

Facing the beautiful female teacher, the flame of the candle, began to make a wish.

“……”

Kuda Moki's deviated gaze is back on track.

The male teacher with his eyes closed, his soft face, and a little smile on the corner of his mouth, looked dazzling under the rendering of orange flames.

And then, suddenly—

I opened my eyes.

The black eyes in the night clearly reflect the firelight.

“……”

“……”

The sight met again, and Kuda Moshu controlled it without deviating.

She reminded softly.

"It's time to blow out the candles."

"Okay."

In response, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the small cake in the hands of the female teacher, the fire of the candle.

As soon as it blew, the orange light dispersed from the faces of the two of them, leaving only the burned place, and a few wisps of smoke drifted into the night.

"Alright."

"Well—what did you wish for?"

"You can't say that, can you?"

"Can't even I say it?"

"Are you sure Kuda-sensei wants to listen?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked rhetorically.

"Eh......"

The fire dissipated, and the eyes of the male teacher in front of him seemed to be still hot.

Kuda Maki wanted to run her hand through the hair on the side of her face to block out this gaze.

However, the cake in the hand makes this action impossible.

She could only meet this kind of gaze, with a gentle smile and a bit of cute shyness.

Mr. Hirakawa...... Now that I've said it, it's not fair. ”

"Huh? Isn't it fair? Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked a little puzzled.

"You see, this time, it's my birthday for Mr. Hirakawa, and as a result, Mr. Hirakawa will take this opportunity to say something......"

The sound quietly dissipated into the night.

“…… Words. Isn't it fair to me? ”

"Huh...... This ......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa is really in trouble at this time, "so what to do?" ”

Kuda Moshu's gaze was a little expectant.

"Do you remember the previous bet, Mr. Hirakawa?"

"Hmm...... Of course I do. ”

"Mr. Hirakawa also needs to promise me one condition."

"Yes."

"Then my condition is ......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa listened.

The cute female teacher's face showed a different look and gave an answer.

"August 20, my birthday, I want to meet Hirakawa-sensei, is that okay?"

"I want to ...... That's an answer that doesn't require hesitation. ”

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

The smile blooms in the night light, and people can't take their eyes off it.
