After saying goodbye to Hinata Mosaki, Tetsufumi Hirakawa returned to his study to find Amamiya Night.

But apparently, during the time that the girl was alone in the study, she probably did something weak-hearted.

That's why he reacted like this now because of his return.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the back of the desk who quickly got up and then froze, and suddenly understood.

But...... What can she do?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked over with some confusion.

"Amamiya-san, what's wrong with you?"

“……”

The weak-hearted girl did not answer his question.

But even if he doesn't respond, it won't affect Tetsufumi Hirakawa to get an answer-

After a few steps to the desk, his gaze condescendingly swept over Amamiya Ye's petite body, and he could see that there were three books on the desk.

“……”

Tetsu Hirakawa confessed why Amamiya was startled when he came back.

“……”

And at this time, Amamiya Ye, who froze her body, also knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, she slowly turned her body, raised her head slightly, and showed a cute expression like a kitten on her little face facing him.

"Hirakawa-sensei."

“……”

"As the signatory, I think—"

"-Alright, alright."

Halfway through his words, Tetsufumi Hirakawa interrupted Amamiya Night's words of making excuses.

Amamiya obediently closed her mouth and looked at him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also looked at the girl, and after a moment, sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you."

A smile immediately appeared on Amamiya's face.

"Hmm."

She nodded, took a small step to the side, and moved out of the way.

So, on the desk, the three booklets were completely unfolded in front of Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

The three booklets are his graduation albums.

Elementary, middle, and high school, these three books.

Originally, these three albums were neatly placed on the bookshelf in the study by him.,Then,It should have been when I went down to look for Mr. Kuda just now.,Amamiya Night, who stayed alone in his study.,I found it out of boredom.,And then she took it out.。

Although it is not agreed, forget it, there is nothing unpleasant about the graduation album.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at Amamiya who was standing obediently next to him again, then looked at the three photo albums that had been opened, and didn't say anything more.

He took a half-step forward, stood in front of his desk, and looked at the album.

It's really nostalgic.

The fingertips brushed over the slightly yellowed elementary school graduation book, then the slightly old junior high school graduation book, and finally, left the paper of the relatively new high school graduation book.

The old and new albums record the passage of time, and the photos on it record his past, in short, they are all traces of time.

Time is always a thing that can arouse human emotion, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa is also inevitable.

When I see the photo, I think "Did I look like this before?" Such a thought comes.

"It turns out that Mr. Hirakawa looked like this when he was a child." Amamiya next to him, poked his head out and watched with him, and even his thoughts were the same as his.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the photo of his elementary school and couldn't help but smile: "Yes." ”

"Cute." Amamiya said.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa paused, and then.

"Don't use that word to describe a teacher."

In order to maintain the majesty of being a teacher, he said this, and then, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stretched out his hand and flipped through the photo album.

A photo,From the first grade to the sixth grade,Recording a variety of activities of him,Sports day,School festival,Hiking......

Various.

Finally, the hand stopped.

In Tetsufumi Hirakawa's sight, the elementary school photo album on the desktop stayed on a page of tables.

"Huh?" Amamiya looked at the form curiously.

It's a very simple form, not many words, in addition to basic information such as the name of the class, there is-

"What kind of person do you want to be when you grow up?"

Amamiya recited the most conspicuous of them.

And in this column, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was in the sixth grade at the time, wrote in a very solemn handwriting that did not look like that of an elementary school student.

"Teacher...... Did Mr. Hirakawa decide to become a teacher in elementary school? ”

Amamiya raised her face to look at him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the handwriting in the form, his thoughts were a little ethereal, and in his mind, he vaguely remembered the afternoon of the graduation season when he filled out the form.

“……”

"yes, yes."

After coming back to his senses, Tetsufumi Hirakawa faced Amamiya Night, with a smile and nodded with a smile that he didn't know what kind of emotion.

When most students talk about what they want to be in the future when they are young, they always say "teacher", "scientist", and "doctor", which sounds great, but in fact they are completely nonsense.

If everyone could grow up according to the "dream" filled in in elementary school, then more than half of the people in this world would be teachers, scientists, doctors and other professions.

But Tetsufumi Hirakawa is different, after all, he is not an ordinary elementary school student.

When he filled out the form, he was quite serious.

And it's not just elementary school graduation books.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that Tetsufumi Hirakawa's hand left the elementary school graduation book and turned towards the nearby junior high school graduation book.

It didn't take me a few pages to turn to it.

It's almost the same table that records all kinds of information, and in the same "future" column, Tetsufumi Hirakawa uses the same upright handwriting, writing-

"Become a teacher." Amamiya followed his fingertips and read out the column he was pointing to in a slightly surprised tone.

"And that's not all."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked like he wanted to show off something, and the corners of his mouth rose a little, looking a little happy.

He flipped through his high school graduation book again.

Soon, a similar form was found.

In the column of "Graduation Pathway", as always, fill in "Teacher".

"Look."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's fingertips dot on the white paper.

From elementary school to high school, his mind never changed.

Of course, it is not accurate to say this, but it is accurate to say that his thoughts have never changed from the previous life to this life.

From being influenced by that teacher, becoming a teacher has become his ultimate goal.

The heart is firm and never wavered.

And this time, I have been working towards this goal since I was a child.

When you think about it, it's really emotional.

This kind of consistent persistence is the kind that I can't help but admire when I see it.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who showed off to Amamiya Night like a child, had a little smile on the corner of his mouth, although it was not obvious, but definitely there was a smug smile.

Facing such a Hirakawa Tetsufumi, Amamiya blinked suspiciously, staring at the corner of the teacher's mouth, and then looking at his eyes.

Then, the look of doubt became even more intense.

"Huh? Amamiya-san. What's wrong? Tetsufumi Hirakawa noticed her gaze and asked her.

“…… It's nothing. ”

Under such a question, Amamiya shook his head and looked at the photo album on the desktop, distracted.

I felt it again, it was clear that Mr. Hirakawa was showing off, but she felt a little indescribable from this teacher.

Strange feeling, I can't say it, but I just think there is.

What's going on?

Well......

Back to light?

……

It doesn't seem to be described that way, but it seems to be the same.

Amamiya looked a little distressed.

She didn't think she was wrong, after all, she and Mr. Pingchuan were in a contractual relationship. The light of the eternal full moon shines equally on the two of them, so that their hearts are connected.

Well.

There's definitely something wrong with that.

Amamiya night began to ponder and began to remember.

This strange feeling first started during this semester and then became more and more pronounced as time went on.

For example, when she said that she and her mother were going to settle the matter, for example, when she came here today and saw this teacher pulling her even if she was sick and explaining her next work.

It's a completely different person.,The former Hirakawa teacher was a procrastinator.。

So, that's where the question arises, right?

Amamiya seems to have discovered the problem.

Why, exactly?

What is causing this change?

She looked up again, and carefully looked at the teacher in front of her, who looked very tired because of illness, fatigue, etc.

“……”

“……”

After looking at each other silently, the atmosphere condensed for a short time, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly saw that a strange expression appeared on Amamiya's face...... Well...... Grieved?

What are you doing?

"Amamiya-san?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa inexplicably stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Amamiya Night.

"What...... Ahem. ”

As a result, as he spoke, his throat suddenly itched after catching a cold, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.

After coughing, he saw that the grief in Amamiya's eyes became more obvious.

“？”

Then, in his inquiring gaze, he heard Amamiya speak in a very low tone.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he wondered if he had heard it wrong.

What she said was-

"Mr. Hiragawa, are you going to die?"

“……”

If it weren't for Amamiya's eyes, which were so sad that they felt like they were about to cry, Tetsufumi Hirakawa would definitely knock on her head and ask her what she had made up in her brain.

However, at this moment, the girl's expression was really serious, which made Tetsufumi Hirakawa fall into a state of consternation at a loss.

The girl continued.

The voice is getting sadder.

"Otherwise, why would you be like this now?"

"I felt it before, from the time you said you were going to fulfill your contract with this body, from the time when you and this body were making movies together."

"In the past, it was obviously something else, why did it start to become like this this semester?"

"It's like I'm in a hurry about everything."

"Still sick...... Is it a disease that cannot be cured? That's why it's ......."

“……”

“……”

In the midst of Amamiya's astonishing speech, there was a strange silence in the study,

Amamiya Ye's eyes that were about to cry could finally delete the word "soon" and turn it into crying-

That's right, in the speechless silence of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, he saw Amamiya Night's eyes, which were already red.

And Tetsufumi Hirakawa has not yet recovered from the girl's remarks.

Well......

Well......

Well......

He's dying?

A cold has become terminal?

Well?

“……”

Such remarks are really unacceptable for a while.

It wasn't until a moment later, under Amamiya's eyes, that Tetsufumi Hirakawa showed a look of crying and laughing.

"Amamiya-san, what did you say?"

"Teacher, do you have any incurable disease......

"No, not at all!" The sound has been raised several degrees.

There is no such thing.

"Then why ......"

"No Why......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa explained weakly.

The change I made when I was about to leave my job happened to be sick, but I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding.

Well...... I really don't know what to say.

Logically perfectly fine......

Because I'm dying, I worked hard at the end of the time......

And because I'm dying, it's a very emotional memory of the past or something......

It's speechless, and I don't know how to explain it.

Because of the resignation, he didn't plan to tell his students about it now......

I don't know how to sigh well, Tetsufumi Hirakawa faced the second girl who was already reddened in her eyes - the brain supplement of the second disease is indeed first-class-

"Amamiya-san, first of all, thank you for your concern, that, teacher, I'm very healthy......"

When he said this, he remembered that he was sick, and he had to change his words with some embarrassment.

"Well, it's just a small cold anyway, it's not a disease that can't be cured, don't talk about it anymore......"

"Really?" Amamiya asked distrustfully.

"Of course it's true."

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"Didn't Hirakawa-sensei deceive him?"

“……”

The reddened eye sockets give people a feeling of distress.

This girl is also like this out of concern for him......

There was really some helplessness, and as a last resort, in order to convince the girl, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stretched out his hand.

“……”

Amamiya stared at Tetsufumi Hirakawa's outstretched little thumb.

After a moment's hesitation, he raised his hand with some hesitation, also holding out his little thumb.

Then, without waiting for the girl to take the initiative, Tetsufumi Hirakawa hooked Amamiya's little finger with his little finger.

"Amamiya-san, please rest assured. Teacher, I don't have any incurable diseases, huh...... In the name of the contract, you were not deceived. ”

“……”

If you want to convince the second girl, you really have to use the way of the middle two.

The existence of the contract represents the connection between the two people, so there is no deception.

Probably for this reason, Tetsufumi Hirakawa persuaded Amamiya Night.

"Hmm."

When he put down his hand, Amamiya nodded very hard.

……

……

Today's meeting with Amamiya night ended in a strange way.

After comforting the girl who had overdone her brain, she had been at his house for a long time, and it was time to leave.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sent Amamiya out of the house.

Then, I walked back to the study.

When I saw the three graduation albums on the desk, I thought about the girl's misunderstanding, and I laughed strangely with complicated feelings that I didn't know how.

Shaking his head helplessly, he stepped forward, and took one last look at the "teacher" column on the three open photo albums.

He closed the album and put it back on the bookshelf next to him.

The editing of the movie is not good yet, so we still have to hurry.
