"Hirakawa-sensei, do you know why Shiori likes wind music?"

Just as Tetsufumi Hirakawa's story begins with a question, so does Shiori Shinohara.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the girl and met her calm, slightly smiling eyes.

She spoke slowly, telling her own story.

"Shiori grew up in a privileged family environment."

"No, superiority is not enough, it should be said that Shiori was born to stand at the end of the vast majority of people's reach."

The calm tone, as if mentioning trivial matters, was said by the haughty lady under the night sky.

"Although the status of the heir of the Shinohara family comes with a series of obligations that must be assumed."

"Follow your mother's ideas, follow her plan, and become a qualified heir."

"From an early age, I received all kinds of education, etiquette, socializing, tea ceremony, floral arrangement...... Various. ”

"However, in fact, these obligations can be said to be insignificant compared to the identity of the eldest lady of the Shinohara family."

"I've understood this truth for a long time, and the identity of the eldest lady of the Shinohara family is not a burden, and I don't hate it."

"I have never had the foolish idea of seeing the shackles of identity and ignoring the superiority of identity since elementary school."

"But—"

The original flat expression suddenly changed, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa saw Shiori Shinohara, the eldest lady, and a little willful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"On the contrary, as Hirakawa-sensei said, Shiori is a very willful person."

"Of course I understand that, but I don't want to be satisfied with that."

"When I was promoted to junior high school, I suddenly felt that Shiori thought that the identity of the eldest lady of the Shinohara family had been accomplished very well, and I had not made a mistake in the plan arranged by my mother. So, can I do one thing I want to do? ”

"There's always one thing that Shiori should do, not the eldest lady of the Shinohara family, right?"

"No matter what it is, it doesn't matter, it's from me, from Shiori, not from my mother's wishes, plans, and arrangements."

"That day, I was walking around the campus thinking about it."

"It wasn't until a new flyer for the band club floated at my feet that I picked it up."

Shiori Shinohara recalls that time, by chance, the wind blew the flyer of the wind club.

Sometimes, unintentional accidents are so touching to people's hearts.

"When the student from the wind band who was handing out flyers came over, and before she could speak, I asked her: "

"Can I join the Wind Club? She was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly and said yes. ”

"So I joined the wind club."

Shiori Shinohara didn't have too many ups and downs in her tone when she talked about joining the wind club, but Tetsufumi Hirakawa could still see the pleasant brilliance in her eyes.

"Such a sudden thing is naturally hasty, it was the first time that the wayward Shiori did this, and she didn't ask her mother."

"But this willfulness didn't stop me from liking wind music in a short period of time."

"I chose trumpet as my instrument and quickly became proficient in it."

"But—"

Shiori Shinohara's good-looking face had a slightly mocking look on her face, allowing Tetsufumi Hirakawa to guess the next development of events.

If nothing else, it's going to be an accident - Shinohara's mother is about to appear.

There's nothing wrong with that.

"When I was practicing for a semester and was about to participate in the junior high school wind competition at that time, the instructor of the wind club approached me."

"She said, I can't play."

"I asked her why, and she replied because I wasn't skilled enough."

"Although, although I have only been practicing for a short time, my trumpet has already surpassed the vast majority of people in the wind club."

"However, I didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and I didn't expect that in fact, behind it, it was authorized by Shiori's mother."

"In fact, it wasn't until I was in the second grade that I discovered what role Shiori's mother played in Shiori's daily life."

The sarcasm on Shiori's lips turned into a sarcasm at the end of the day.

"After all, my mother has always respected my wishes, and I always thought that way when I was a child."

"Mother's superficial etiquette is always faulty, and I didn't think much of it before, although I was a little skeptical."

"It wasn't until the second grade that I was preparing to participate in the junior high school wind competition for the second time, and the instructor of the wind club told me."

"Shinohara-san, I don't think you're suitable for wind music."

“……”

The sound stops here.

Despite the noise surrounding the crowd all the time, the moment Shiori Shinohara stopped speaking, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did feel a moment of silence in a brief pause.

The silence was somewhat distressing.

In my mind, last semester, Mr. Toda, who was in charge of club work, also said this to Mr. Ogasa.

"Shinohara-san is not suitable to stay in the wind club."

Touching the same words, touching the same means, it turns out that it is just a repetition of events.

"And then?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the girl in front of him.

Although when this matter was mentioned at this moment, Shiori Shinohara's expression seemed to be indifferent, calm and unconcerned.

But...... Do you really care?

At that time, she was only in the second grade of middle school, and she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, how would she feel when she heard this sentence from the mouth of her instructor?

Shiori Shinohara tilted her face, and after seeing the look in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's eyes, she smiled lightly and continued to speak.

After returning home, Shiori confronted her mother face to face for the first time.

"I asked her if she authorized the matter of the wind club."

"She said that she respects my wishes, supports all of Shiori's practices, and has never done anything like this."

"Huh."

Miss Shinohara-sama smiled softly.

“……”

"Because Shiori's mother respected my wishes, I was removed from the club membership list by my instructor shortly after."

“……”

It's ironic" because...... So".

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless.

But, despite this, Shiori did not give up on practicing wind music.

Shiori Shinohara said lightly.

"Although I no longer participate in club activities, it does not affect my personal playing."

"Shiori's mother has also tried to stop it, including filling Shiori's free time with various classes, and so on."

"At that time, I didn't know why my mother was like this, but for whatever reason, I never gave up playing wind music."

"As the first thing I wanted to do, something that wasn't out of my mother's plan, I stuck with it."

"Then, time came to high school."

"I went on to higher education and entered Moriya, so it didn't take long for the chairman of the Moriya Council to suddenly become my mother."

“……”

“……”

For a moment of silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at Shiori Shinohara's eyes. She nodded.

"Yes, that's it."

"After that, in Moriya, I entered the wind club again."

"At first, my mother didn't do anything, so much so that I thought she had approved of my determination."

"As a result, Mr. Hirakawa also knew about the third semester."

“…… Well. Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded slowly.

"Speaking of respecting the will, I actually contacted the instructor of the club again, wanting me to 'take the initiative' to give up wind music."

"But the good thing—"

Miss Shinohara-sama's gaze swept over him and smiled quietly.

"Shiori met an excellent teacher this time. Mr. Hirakawa, what do you think? ”

"......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa pouted his face a little embarrassed, "Ah...... This, probably. ”

Shiori Shinohara was still smiling, and in the misty night, the smile on the girl's face looked a little bright.

Until she stopped, she unhurriedly restarted the topic.

"Actually, I didn't have much complaint about the instructor when I was in junior high school."

"For an ordinary teacher, the Shinohara family is not something that can be easily disobeyed."

"It's better to say that what she's doing is normal. Even if it weren't her, there would naturally be someone else. ”

"However, it's such a 'normal', so you can imagine what Shiori thought when she heard that a certain teacher was going to convey her wishes for me."

“…… What's the idea? Out of curiosity, Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned his face and asked.

In the scrutiny of his gaze, the girl in the yukata smiled "stupidly" on her white and tender face.

Shiori was wondering who he thought he was, and why did he say that, the young teacher was a little dumbfounded.

“…… It's true? Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened his mouth, incredulous.

"Lie to you." Shiori Shinohara suddenly put away her smile, only the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she looked directly into his eyes quite seriously.

"Actually, from the moment I heard the sentence that I was willing to convey my will to Shiori, Shiori knew that what I was looking for was a pretty good teacher."

The seriousness of the moment of "......" once again made Tetsufumi Hirakawa a little embarrassed.

But at this time, Shiori Shinohara suddenly changed her words.

"Hirakawa-sensei, how much do you know about Shiori's mother?"

"......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa came back to his senses, "this ......"

【I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo】 【】

But the girl didn't really ask him to answer, just used it as a topic to expand.

She answered the question herself.

"Shiori's mother is quite a controlling person."

"She likes that everything goes according to plan, and she is quite reluctant to go beyond the plan."

"That's why I'm so unhappy with the fact that I decided to join the band without her consent."

"That was the first time I went against her will, briefly out of her grip – and as such, she kept wanting Shiori to give up the wind music."

"And—"

Shiori Shinohara raised her hand, her slender wrists exposed from the sleeves of her yukata, and she brushed her hair.

"She doesn't think Shiori is an independent person, I know."

“……”

"I am the eldest lady of the Shinohara family, the only heir, and her daughter. In her eyes, I am such an identity, but I am not an independent individual. ”

"So in my mother's eyes, my opinion is not worth her consideration."

"I'm an extension of her, I just need to carry out her will, follow her plan, and be her puppet."

"The so-called superficial respect is only because of my identity, because I am her daughter and heir, so I need respect."

"When my personality has a mind of her own, she gets upset about it."

“……”

"Right?"

Shiori Shinohara seemed to ask him for his opinion.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened his mouth and closed it again.

"I knew that back then."

"And in my daily life, I've never managed to get out of it."

"As I said, the identity of the eldest lady of the Shinohara family, this is not a burden. If I have any idea of wanting to get rid of this identity, it seems a little too ignorant. ”

"What's more, growing up in such a privileged environment, and then thinking about it all later, is obviously not going to work."

"What I have, what I bear, I know."

"Saying that I don't inherit the family business and go to learn music is just a capricious statement of Shiori, and I just want to take wind music as a hobby in my spare time."

"If you want to open a window, it's better to start by saying that you want to tear down the roof."

“……”

Shiori Shinohara laughed willfully, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa was a little ...... about this little joke Don't know what to say.

The wayward eldest lady is naturally willful, but it doesn't mean that she is unreasonable.

When the eldest lady finished laughing, she returned to the topic.

"Shiori can't get rid of the identity of the heir of the Shinohara family, then, as long as I am in this identity, I am destined to be impossible to get rid of my mother's control."

"On the surface, at least, my mother did respect my wishes."

"That's probably what you have to bear as a celebrity."

"Therefore—"

Shiori Shinohara paused slightly when she said this.

Eyes, through the night.

"What's wrong?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at her and asked.

The cherry red yukata supports the whiteness of the skin, and the eyes of the moving girl in the night suddenly flash some unknown emotion.

This chapter is not finished, click [Next] to continue reading-->>

【I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo】 【】

As soon as the atmosphere changed, the girl's speech slowed down and became softer.

"So, when the teacher threatened to convince Shiori's mother that he knew he couldn't do it, Shiori didn't have much hope at the time, even though Shiori hoped that he would succeed."

"It's impossible to think about it."

"As it turned out, it was completely unexpected."

In the hallway of her home, Shiori crouched on the ground, waiting for a result that she barely hoped for.

"Then, the teacher walked out, and he said to me - now, Shinohara-san just needs to go into the living room and tell your mother what you want."

The girl laughed softly, as if laughing at the incredulity of such remarks.

"And said, please believe him, because it was agreed."

"What was agreed, who knows. Mother also promised Shiori a lot of things, but it was only on the surface. ”

“……”

In the girl's calm narration, Hirakawa Tetsufumi's mind also appeared in the picture of that time.

"At that time, Shinohara-san, who was squatting on the ground, was crying and his eyes were red, like a rabbit."

“…… Rabbits? Miss Shinohara-sama was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled slightly, "It's okay with rabbits, is that rabbit-like Shiori cute?" ”

With a smile in his eyes.

However, without waiting for him to answer, Shiori Shinohara continued.

"Anyway, it was in this situation that Shiori re-entered the living room."

"There are almost no expectations, almost no belief in success."

"And yet—"

"When Shiori said that, after that, she wanted to stay in the wind club and practice wind music, Shiori's mother nodded."

She didn't say that she respected Shiori's wishes, but said that after that, she would not interfere in the affairs of Shiori's wind club again.

"Mr. Hirakawa, can you imagine Shiori's mood at that time?"

In the girl's inquiry, Tetsufumi Hirakawa saw that she was walking half a step closer to him, so the distance that was already close was already close to a certain degree of ambiguity.

Even if the night is hazy, you can still see the delicacy of the girl's skin.

"Maybe for Hirakawa-sensei, it's just exercising the duties of a teacher, but for Shiori, it's of great significance. That was the first time Shiori managed to convince her mother. ”

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't care about what the girl said anymore, it was too close, and the girl who stood on tiptoe and raised her face to stare at him was only a few centimeters away from him.

The breath of the conversation rushed over, with a sweet smell that belonged to a beautiful girl.

"That...... Mr. Shinohara...... Isn't your state quite right? ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's first reaction was to step back, trying to distance himself.

However, he forgot that this was the venue of the fireworks festival, and it was crowded.

"Hey—"

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Feeling the foreign object under his feet, and the reminder that rang in his ears, Tetsufumi Hirakawa immediately turned around and apologized.

Then he twisted back, and in front of him, a girl in a yukata had wrapped her hands around his neck.

Hey, what's wrong, what's this? If you speak well, you can speak, what do you do with your hands and feet?

This chapter is not finished, click [Next] to continue reading-->>

【I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo】 【】

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's expression became serious, and he raised his hand, ready to push the girl's hand away from his shoulder, in a serious tone—even close to anger.

"Shinohara-san, didn't you say that you should talk about it well, make a decision for the last time, what are you doing here-"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's words were not finished.

He saw Shiori Shinohara in front of him, the girl's slightly makeup-wearing, stunning face, and a pair of good-looking eyes, revealing emotions that could be called hot.

Then, in the dark night, Bai Nen's face with a hint of crimson was getting closer and closer in the sudden bright light.

“……”

“……”

Fireworks were lifted into the air.

The fireworks festival has officially begun.

"Bang!"

The deep night is lit up, and it instantly resembles day.

I don't know how many fireworks exploded together, ringing in my ears, and the noisy crowd, all the sounds were covered up in an instant.

Then, in the blink of an eye, all kinds of exclamations gathered momentum.

“……”

“……”

That's the sound in my ears.

In front of him, the girl holding his neck tilted her face back slightly, and pulled away a little.

However, it is only a little.

The body is clinging to each other.

In the extremely noisy environment, you can even hear the sound of breathing.

It was such a distance, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared directly at Shiori Shinohara in a daze, the girl who could be called a perfect cheek, and then, pursed his lips.

Stained with the flavor of orange-flavored shaved ice, it is sweet and sour, cold and evocative.

The fireworks continued one after another, and the girl whispered softly.

"I'm sorry, Hirakawa-sensei, Shiori lied to you."

"For the last time...... If you want Shiori to let go, it's impossible. ”

"Mr. Hirakawa wants to be an excellent teacher, naturally. In Shiori's eyes, Hirakawa-sensei is the most outstanding teacher, and he is the most respected teacher in Shiori's heart. ”

"It is, it will be, and it always will be."

"But if Hirakawa-sensei wants to refuse to be Shiori because of this......"

"As Hirakawa-sensei said, Shiori's personality is very bad, willful, and can't listen to other people's ideas, so the rejection of Hirakawa-sensei ......"

"I'm sorry, Shiori is not a student who obediently listens to her teacher."

A new round of fireworks has risen into the air again.

The cold, sweet and sour orange-flavored shaved ice, and the kiss that was so soft that it could make people lose the idea of resisting appeared on the lips again.

"Mr. Hirakawa said, right, if you change your identity, maybe you really can't refuse Shiori."

"Of course it's rational."

"However, liking is irrational and doesn't need to be thought about that much."

"Mr. Hirakawa, I like you, I like it, I like it very much."

"If words can't move Hirakawa-sensei's heart, Shiori can only use action."

“……”

The most brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the cold and sweet aftertaste of orange-flavored shaved ice was in the mouth, and in the ears, the sound of fireworks sounded with the girl's confession, and finally, only the sound of a pounding heartbeat remained.

The summer air is like a blazing flame, scorching every inch of the skin.

Reason is also burned out.

【I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo】 【】

Tetsufumi Hirakawa pursed his lips and looked at the girl in front of him.

She was dressed in the most beautiful yukata and smiled.

Summer festivals, lanterns, fireworks, and all kinds of shimmering light reflect her beautiful cheeks together, and the charm of a girl germinates infinitely at this moment.

“……”

Then, for the third time, the girl's cheek came up again.

One-touch to part.

“……”

Maybe she's right, liking must be irrational.

And, sometimes, liking is only for a moment.

The summer festival on August 9th, on this magical night – just like the magic of the moment when the flames ignited on the early autumn afternoon on the balcony of the Kobayashi bookstore in the Norwegian forest.

At the very top of a round of fireworks, Tetsufumi Hirakawa undoubtedly sank.

An unprovoked impulse took over the mind, flushing away all reason.

He bowed his head.

Again, choking on the small, tender red lips with a sweet, greasy orange shaved ice flavor.
