The time is indeed very emotional.

After the incident of misunderstanding in the study on Sunday and Amamiya night, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had a lot of feelings when he saw those three albums.

There is a feeling of infinite emotion, sudden realization.

It made him realize that in the previous life and this life, his teaching career that lasted for several years and firmly established his determination for more than ten years was not long before it ended.

There are only a few days left.

Very emotional, but ...... It doesn't seem like there's much more to say.

At such a time, there are some things that you should not think about turning back, and you cannot turn back, and the actions that have been done cannot be erased.

So, after closing the album and putting it back on the shelf, Tetsufumi Hirakawa never took it down for the rest of the year.

And even if you want to sigh, let's wait until this time is over, the recent things are really rushing.

But the feeling of being busy for a long time is very good, and it can make him ignore a lot of things because he doesn't have time.

That's it.,Hurry up every day.,Finally,Before the national competition,With the efforts of Tetsufumi Hirakawa,The matter of Amamiya Night successfully ushered in a phased end.,Then only the editing thing remains.。

But the editing will have to wait a little longer to do it.

Because, after more than a semester, the national competition is finally coming.

It will be held on October 26 at the Nagoya International Convention Center.

For this national competition, the Moriya Wind Club held a two-day overnight before the competition, and on the 25th, all the members of the Wind Club arrived in Nagoya City.

……

That night, at the hotel where he stayed, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stayed alone in his room, with nothing to do.

There was only one night left until the national competition, and it was useless to do anything more.

Of course, for the sake of psychological comfort and the like, at this time, there should be many students holding sheet music, right?

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, and it's useless for him to read the score...... But this tense atmosphere, he can really feel it.

After more than a semester of following the practice, he was able to empathize with the students, and he was a little nervous now.

And unlike the students, because he can't help much, even if he is a little nervous, he can only stay aside and do nothing, this feeling of doing nothing is really not used to it.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was bored in the room and waiting for the night to fall late and waiting for tomorrow, put away his phone while lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone.

Not in the mood.

Began to stare at the ceiling in a daze.

Thoughts are a little east and a little west.

For example, the national competition came like this, and when I thought about it so suddenly, more than a semester passed.

For example, what will be the results of this year's Moriya? Bronze, Silver, or can you win the long-awaited goal and win the Gold Award?

Also, Shiori Shinohara...... This eldest lady ...... Forget it, skip this one.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa pressed his temples, and his broken thoughts began anew.

For example...... Reya Hazuki? Well...... That's right, Reya Hazuki.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly remembered this student he had met in Kyoto.

Now, because of this national competition, she should have come to Nagoya too, right?

I'll see her tomorrow at the game......

Tetsufumi Hirakawa wanted to talk to her again.

About the aftermath of the game, about resignation, about ...... Shiori Shinohara.

“……”

How do you describe his current state of mind?

Although he usually tries to ignore it, sure enough, as long as he is free, he can't help but think about it.

It will never be avoided, but he resigned because of this incident......

Naturally mixed moods.

Forget it, it's better to go out for a walk.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hates locking himself in a cramped hotel room, especially when he is not in a good mood in the first place.

……

Putting on his coat and taking his room card, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked out of the hotel room.

I don't know where the destination is, but he's always been like this, since he decided to go out, the destination doesn't matter, just walk around.

The moment you walk out of the hotel door, the evening breeze of late October blows in your face.

After all, it's already autumn, even if you wear a coat and suddenly go out of the warm hotel room, it will still be a little cold.

After settling in at the door for a few seconds, looking at the night view of this strange city, Nagoya, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked out.

……

I put my hand in the pocket of my coat all the way, and because I have no destination, I wander around, and the distance I walk is not too far, so I don't have a problem if I get lost if I go far.

If you were an instructor and you got lost on the eve of the national wind music competition, it would probably be a joke in the industry.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was walking on the side of the street, suddenly thought of this kind of boring question.

Well...... But even without him, the wind club can still run as usual, right?

After all, there is also Ogasa-sensei, and she is the core of the wind club.

In this way, even if he leaves later, the wind club can continue to maintain normally.

Thinking about the mess, I still couldn't get around the resignation, and I suddenly returned to this topic.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked so carelessly.

The night view of Nagoya is nothing to see, and it is more likely that he does not have this kind of leisure at all.

Then, after wandering around for a long time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was bored again, planned to go back to the hotel.

People's hearts are probably so contradictory, obviously he was thinking about it just now, but he wanted to go back so quickly.

It's like having made up your mind to leave your job before, but when it's really about to come, you think about whether you have something or not.

It's like—

Before the second "like" appeared in his heart, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly stopped.

Because, in the position ahead, under the night light, he saw an oncoming figure.

Although the number of contacts was not much, the girl left a deep impression on him.

The flat front hair looks very well-behaved, yes, but in fact, as long as the expression is revealed, it looks very bad—for example, now, it has only been a few seconds since he went from being confused to turning into disgust after seeing him clearly.

On the other side, the girl from Kyoto, Reya Hazuki, on this relatively quiet night of the meeting, just a few seconds after the meeting, used the volume of "quiet, but you can just hear it, making people wonder if she did it on purpose" - such a volume, dripping and muttering.

"I already knew that I would meet you at this national competition, but why did I always meet you at inexplicable times?"

“…… Probably, we are quite lucky. ”

"I don't want to be associated with you."

"Huh?"

"You look like you have something to say, you're in trouble."

The soft and glutinous Kyoto accent, with this disgusting tone, is really Hazuki Reya, yes, it's not Hazuki's left clothes twins-

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had such a strange thought.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, nothing." Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Reya Hazuki, put aside the strange associations in his mind, and shook his head with a smile, "But what you said is right. ”

"Sure enough, meeting you means being in trouble." Reya Hazuki's disgusted tone did not change.

"Probably?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had no desire to refute it.

If you stand from the perspective of Hazuki Reya, it is true that the few encounters have been spent in trouble.

She summed it up quite accurately.

"Tell me, what's the problem this time?"

"Tomorrow is the national competition, do you have time?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa also thought about waiting until the game was over before talking to the girl.

"If you're not going to toss me late, there's probably time."

“……”

After a moment of silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed with mixed feelings.

"Ye Yue-san, can I ask you to change your words?"

"Don't." Reya Hazuki decisively refused.

I really can't help her, so it's better to pretend that I didn't hear it.

"Are you sure you have time?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa confirmed.

"It's useless to go back to the impromptu preparations now."

"Yes."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

One night really doesn't change anything.

"And where are you going?" Ye Yue Reya asked, but immediately looked at him with a wary gaze after asking, "It won't be a hotel, right?" ”

“……”

"Absolutely not."

Before Tetsufumi Hirakawa could refute it, the girl guessed to herself and quickly rejected the "maybe" invitation.

Sure enough, it was the best choice to pretend that I didn't hear it.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa faithfully fulfilled his thoughts, ignoring the phrase.

"Just walk around, or find a place to sit down."

……

The final decision was to just go for a walk.

But before the topic begins, there are a few other topics.

"Speaking of which, Hazuki-san, it's all about to compete, why are you still on the street at night now."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Reya Hazuki walked casually on the side of the street after a sudden meeting, chatting.

Reya Hazuki, who was walking beside him, was about half a meter away from him, turned to look at him, pursed his lips, and replied.

"You're not on the street, you're still the instructor."

"I don't have to compete."

"It's the instructor who matters. Moreover, at this point in time, it is not good to have trysts with girls from other schools without being with your own students. ”

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa replied rather calmly...... The main thing is to get used to it.

"Well, the instructor is very important, yes, but I'm an exception, and it's okay if I'm not there at this time."

“……”

Faced with this kind of answer, Ye Yue Limi was speechless for a while.

"What do you mean?"

"No, that is, it's almost the same with me or without me."

“…… It seems like you're not in the right place. ”

"Is there one?"

"It's pretty pessimistic."

"Okay...... It could also be. He subconsciously refuted it and then admitted it.

“……”

“……”

"So, what's going on with you lately?"

After a short period of silence, the conversation came to the point so naturally.

"Hmmm......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa groaned for a moment, and began to reveal what happened after he returned from Kyoto for the girl next to him.

"Since the last time I came back from Kyoto, I've made a final decision with my students—"

“…… It's a shame that you can talk to me about this kind of topic so naturally. ”

Just opened his mouth to say a word, and Ye Yue Limi, who was beside him, couldn't help but complain.

As a teacher, it is really ...... to fall in love with a student and then break up like this

However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at her, but it didn't matter - he had already said enough to her, and of course there would be nothing unnatural.

Ye Yueli sighed, and then asked, "And then?" ”

"Then, apart from the normal meeting in class and the wind club activity room, I haven't communicated with her anymore."

“…… So like last time, did you really choose that teacher? ”

"Hmm. After that, after making a decision, I confessed to Mr. Kuda that I was going to resign, and I said that I would take care of everything before I resigned, and then we would be together. ”

“……”

When she heard the word "together", as a single girl, Ye Yue Reya changed a little unbearably.

“…… So does she know about you and your students? ”

"Although this concealment is somewhat ...... Despicable. But I really can't say it. ”

Ye Yue Limi had already started to have a headache, and she held her forehead with her hand: "Sure enough, I knew that your affairs were very troublesome." ”

"Huh." Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's right. ”

"But you can't be blamed for it......" After thinking about it, Ye Yue Liya still comforted him, "It's not that you were hypnotized or something." ”

"This ...... I don't have any evidence, not to mention that it has already happened, and it's useless to shirk it. ”

“…… Okay. "Reya Hazuki didn't know what to say.

"And after you?"

"After a while, I will officially resign, and it will not be a few days."

“…… Well, the game is over? ”

"Almost."

“……”

“……”

"Let me ask you a question."

"Well, just ask."

"Do you still like that student?"

On the streets of Nagoya, the night lights are a little dazzling in the dark night.

"I like it."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa said.

"Oh."

Reya Hazuki nodded unexpectedly.

"You're really bad."

"Yes, indeed."

"Why?"

“……”

……

Regarding this reason, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not answer Reya Hazuki.

Anyway, tomorrow is the national competition, and the girl also used some strange words to explain that it is best not to delay her too long - the sentence "If you don't plan to toss me late, there is probably time." ”

If I continue to talk about it, I probably won't be able to finish it in a while.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow when the game is over."

After saying this, this sudden encounter with Hazuki Reya ended like this.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa returned to the hotel.
