In Tetsufumi Hirakawa's last days - hmm...... It seems to be ambiguous to say this, but it should be said that in the last teaching time, everything went according to the plan.

I have daily teaching work, administrative tasks as a class teacher, and the affairs of the wind club.

There is a regular practice, a roadshow in front of Tokyo Station, and a group stay before the Tokyo branch competition.

Time passed in the increasingly tense atmosphere of the Wind Club.

The Tokyo branch regional competition came at the end of September, half a month after the end of the sports festival.

The result is –

Moriya managed to win one of the three qualifying spots in the Tokyo Division and entered the national competition.

It's a gratifying, but not overly surprising result.

After all, compared to last year, after half a year to gradually overcome various shortcomings, Moriya's playing level has made good progress.

Last year, I was able to step on the line, and this year it is not a problem.

To be expected.

In this way, in the joy after the end of the competition in the Tokyo Branch, the Wind Club soon began a new round of practice.

The October 26 National Championship is less than a month away.

At the same time,Other things,Moriya's school festival,Preparations began。

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is still the teacher in charge, but like a sports festival, he doesn't have much to do, and most of the things are handled by the executive committee composed of students.

- Maybe only when there is an accident and then he is held accountable.

So it's better to be idle.

And then in his class, the students also voted for their Class A project at the school festival - an ordinary fried noodle shop.

And I heard from Mr. Hinata that the project in their class is a haunted house...... I don't know why a group of girls would be interested in this.

Anyway,Moriya School Festival just entered the preparatory stage.。

In addition, the agreement with Amamiya Night, the micro-film that will convey the real her to her mother, is also about to complete the preliminary preparations-

Preparation refers to Tetsufumi Hirakawa's self-taught photography skills.

Well......

There's no way, it's really a special thing, because the script was tailor-made by Tetsufumi Hirakawa for Amamiya Night, and Amamiya Night's scenes can be divided into "The Body of the World" - Amamiya Night in the eyes of others, and "Hidden Body" - Amamiya Night when he is alone.

And this secondary girl can only show her real in front of him.

Therefore, when it comes to the scene of Amamiya Night's "Hidden Body", the filming work can only be entrusted to him.

Fortunately, thanks to the excellent memory, it is very important for "How to be a good photographer? Fifteen days fast! Books like "15 Tips for Making Movies" can be remembered as long as you read it carefully several times.

Although it is still difficult to use flexibly...... But it doesn't matter.,After all, it's just a homemade movie for high school students who are going to be released at the school festival.,The ticket fee is cheap 200 yen.,That's enough for that.。

Of course, the movie is not only the scene of Amamiya Night, but the supporting roles and group performances or something, in the name of the school festival - Hirakawa Tetsufumi is also the responsible teacher, and he can bring in a lot of students who are interested in making movies.

As for all the expenses when shooting the movie...... Amamiya is in charge.

In this way, under the interweaving of various things, teaching, Moriya Matsuri, wind club, and filming, Tetsufumi Hirakawa spent probably the busiest period of his teaching career.

Even......

In late October, the temperature in Tokyo is already autumn.

On this weekend, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was watching various instructional videos in front of the computer in his study and making preliminary edits, heard the doorbell ringing.

“……”

Rubbing his eyes, which were a little sour from staring at the computer screen for a long time, and his shoulders, Tetsufumi Hirakawa got up and walked downstairs.

The person who came was naturally the night of the rain palace again.

"Good afternoon, Amamiya-san."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's greeting voice was a little hoarse.

“…… Hirakawa-sensei? ”

Amamiya Ye, who put away the umbrella, immediately heard the abnormality, she tilted her head, and carefully looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa who appeared behind the door.

In late October, the temperature had cooled somewhat, and the teacher was wearing a gray knitted sweater.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that it can be seen that there is a little tiredness in his eyes and face, and even a little weak.

Amamiya stood in front of the door, looking hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi couldn't help but ask when he saw Amamiya standing in place, his voice still hoarse when he spoke.

“…… Mr. Hirakawa, who are you...... Sick? Amamiya guessed uncertainly.

"Ah...... This one. Tetsufumi Hirakawa reacted to Amamiya's inquiry, he sniffed and smiled, "I've got a cold." It's okay, it's a small thing, Amamiya-san, let's come in first. ”

Then, with the soft "bang" of the door closing after Amamiya Night came in, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked into the kitchen and explained casually.

"Yesterday morning, I went to an open-air roadshow with the wind club, and in the afternoon, I went to the scene with Amamiya, and then, when I was editing in the study at night, I accidentally fell asleep because I was too tired, and I was woken up in the middle of the night. I caught a cold this morning. ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa poured two cups of hot water and walked out.

"That's it, after all, the autumn has cooled down, and Amamiya-san, remember to pay attention not to catch a cold - give."

“…… Thank you, Mr. Hirakawa. Amamiya took the warm water cup from Tetsufumi Hirakawa's hand.

Then, when he sat down, his eyes were fixed on him, and his little face was full of worry and some self-blame.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa took a sip of water and sat down, and after swallowing it, he smiled lightly, expressing that he was fine.

"It's okay, it's just a little cold, it's no problem - by the way, let's not talk about it."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa pulled away from the topic.

"Let's talk about movies."

"......" Amamiya Ye seemed to disagree and wanted to say something, but in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's serious eyes, he still had to pout and give up speaking.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa withdrew his eyes and spoke in satisfaction.

"First of all, after more than half a month of filming, the scene where Amamiya's classmates are alone has been completely filmed yesterday."

"As for the small number of things that need to be filmed at school, next week, it should be completely over."

"If you look at it this way, the planned shooting schedule is in time, which is very good."

Speaking of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took a sip of water and moistened his throat, which was somewhat dry from the cold.

Then continue to report on the progress of the film.

"As for the editing work, the teacher also started to do it, and I taught myself a little bit, and I didn't think it was too difficult."

"I tried it today, and although it was a little jerky at the beginning, I felt like I was already feeling it until just now."

"And the school festival is scheduled for November 6th to 7th.,It's still nearly three weeks away.,It should be no problem to finish editing before then.,Don't worry.。

"And before the end of this month, the first cut should be available, and then Amamiya-san will be able to see the movie you starred in."

“……”

In Tetsufumi Hirakawa's slow, slightly hoarse voice, the living room here takes on an indescribably hazy color.

What is it?

Amamiya didn't know, but at this moment, she listened to the voice in her ear, and she did perceive it.

- Actually, it's not the first time I've perceived it.

In the previous shoots, she was keenly aware.

And as time goes by,Get closer and closer to the school festival,It's more and more obvious that she senses such a strange、Indescribable aura from this teacher.。

"Amamiya-san, how is it, are you looking forward to it?"

At the end of her speech, Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked her with a smile on his face.

“……”

Amamiya Night stared at her with a tired face on Sensei Hirakawa.

She always felt a little uneasy inside.

“…… Hirakawa-sensei? ”

"Any questions?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked.

“……”

However, it was just a strange feeling that was hard to put into words, and she didn't know how to explain it.

So in the end, he could only shake his head silently and whispered, "No." ”

However, after finishing speaking, he immediately added: "-Mr. Hirakawa, please pay attention to rest." ”

"Huh?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa paused because of this sudden concern, and then immediately said with a gentle smile, "Well, thank you Amamiya-san's concern, I will." ”

After speaking, finally drink the water from the cup.

"By the way, Amamiya-san, do you want to see the footage that was filmed? If you want to, you can go to the teacher's study to have a look, and by the way, there are some questions, and discuss them with Amamiya. ”

“……”

Amamiya held the water glass in his hand, and finally decided to suppress the inexplicable thoughts in his mind for the time being.

"Hmm."

She nodded obediently.

"Let's go, then."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa got up and walked to the study on the second floor with Amamiya Night.

……

In fact, there is not much to watch now, after all, the movie is just a bunch of scattered clips for the time being.

And there are still a lot of clips, and I haven't chosen which ones to use and which ones not to use.

- This is what I just said to Amamiya Yaya, and I am going to discuss it with her.

After all, as the main actor, or is she going to show it to her mother, for her own shots, of course, it is best to ask her opinion.

In this way, Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Amamiya Ye stayed in the study like this, picking and choosing together in front of various cameras.

Time passed with the click of the mouse, the tapping of the keyboard, and the sound of the two people exchanging words.

Until—

"Ding Dong."

The two of them, who were watching the clip carefully, heard the doorbell from downstairs.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Amamiya exchanged glances, and there was some confusion in the girl's eyes—but so did Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

He paused the clip playing on his computer and got up from his seat.

"Amamiya-san, you are here first, and I'll go see who it is."

"yes, okay."

In response to the night of Amamiya, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked out of the study, closed the door casually, walked downstairs, and walked towards the entrance.

Speaking of which, at this point in time, who will come to him?

As he walked, he muttered inwardly.

When he stepped into the entrance, a name suddenly floated in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's mind.

“……”

“……”

The house was so quiet that Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped.

My brain, which was chaotic from a cold and working too long, woke up.

He reacted.

Those who can come to his house now are probably, probably, eighty percent, almost...... It must be Kuda, right?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who realized this answer, reacted as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream.

He immediately glanced back, and the stairs on the second floor went up, and Amamiya was still in his study.

“……”

“……”

"Ding Dong."

The doorbell rang again.

“……”

There is no time to be in a daze.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa pulled his foot out of his slippers and quietly walked to the entrance with extremely complicated emotions.

He glanced through the cat's eye.

“……”

Okay, that's right, the young and beautiful face is indeed Hinata Moshu.

“……”

It's hard to do.

Now in this situation, what should I do?

Well...... How do you explain to the teacher about Amamiya staying at his house in a Lolita dress?

“……”

The situation is complicated.

Seriously, in fact, Tetsufumi Hirakawa's first reaction was not how to convince this teacher - now, after his previous confession and resignation, he absolutely and unconditionally believes that this gentle teacher will believe his explanation.

The only link between the second middle school girl.

But ah......

The matter of Amamiya Night, this girl is unwilling to expose it to others, at least not now.

So no.

Therefore, just for a moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa pressed the confessional thought in his mind into the depths of his mind.

His eyes left the cat's eye, and he quickly took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, opened the line, and clicked on the chat of Amamiya Night.

[Amamiya-san, stay in the room and don't come out]

As soon as the message is sent and it shows read, put away your phone.

I had no choice but to hide it.

Thinking so, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed silently inwardly, then inhaled and prepared to open the door.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, something very important suddenly recalled in his memory.

That was last semester.

He went to visit Kuda's house, and then had to hide in her room because of the presence of Kuda-sensei's students, and the result was ......

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa withdrew his hand that was about to touch the doorknob and silently glanced down.

Amamiya's shoes were neatly placed at the entrance.

“……”

I felt like I was going to break out in a cold sweat, but I remembered it.

Saint Seiya can't make two mistakes in the same place.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hurriedly bent down, lifted Amamiya's shoes, and-

"Okay, it's coming soon, may I ask what?"

Out of caution, he used his voice to cover up the small sound of opening the shoe cabinet, and then quickly stuffed the shoes inside, and closed the door of the shoe cabinet.

"Mr. Hirakawa, it's me."

When he got up, Tetsufumi Hirakawa heard a gentle voice.

He took a deep breath—

"Mr. Kuda?"

In a questioning tone, he opened the door.
