The stagnant air filled the room, and it wasn't until Tetsufumi Hirakawa stepped forward to kiss Kuda Moshu's lips that the atmosphere was broken.

"Confession?"

A soft inquiring voice came out of the governess's mouth.

She stared at him silently, and at the same time, reached out and blocked the face he wanted to get closer.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa kissed Kuda's palm.

Then, after reacting, he blinked and looked at the female teacher below him for several seconds.

He lifted his head and pulled away a little.

"Well, it's true to confess, but I refused, very firmly." He explained.

"How did you refuse?"

"I said I already had you."

"......" Kuda Moki didn't speak.

"Really."

In silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa hurriedly confirmed, and then, as if to prove his intentions, he lowered his head, touched his soft heart with his cheek, and indulged in it.

The aroma of the tip of the nose, the touch of the cheeks, soft, warm, with her body temperature, makes people intoxicated and reluctant to get up,

"I only have you in my heart."

He said again, his words indistinct.

It's just that, after rubbing it a little twice, Hinata Moshu gently held his cheeks with both hands and lifted his head up.

The eyes came together again.

The beautiful face of the female teacher has a little ruddy color because of the heating up.

Her chest heaved and she opened her mouth and continued to ask, "Then, that Hazuki-san, how did she react?"

"Crying." Tetsufumi Hirakawa replied quickly.

"And then you comforted her?"

"Hmm."

"How comfort?"

"Ah...... How do you say this......

Because of this problem, Tetsufumi Hirakawa became a little troubled.

This kind of small detail, in order to quickly state the situation, was not explained too specifically, so it needs to be explained clearly now.

But it's a bit hard to explain...... But it must be said that this kind of thing cannot be hidden.

So he took a deep breath and calmed down a little, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa spoke.

"She threw herself into my arms, I hugged her but—"

When he finally said "but", Tetsufumi Hirakawa was afraid that he would be slow to speak.

"But, Jasmine." He and Kuda, who was still waiting for his explanation for the time being, looked at each other with sincere eyes.

"If it was just a simple confession of failure and crying, of course I wouldn't be like this, I wouldn't just hug her like that. But you also know that what I just said was that something very bad had just happened to that girl, very bad."

"That's something that few people can afford, right?"

「……」

"I think she cried and threw herself at me, not only because I rejected her, but also because I was thankful and broke down because of that terrible thing."

"Jasmine, you should be able to understand how it feels."

"It's hard enough for her to have this happening, and I'm ...... comforted her. And I promise—"

To show the solemnity of his assurance, he lifted himself slightly.

"At that time, I had absolutely no other thoughts, just that I simply felt that she was very hard and wanted to comfort her, and that's all."

「……」

Kuda Moshu looked directly into his eyes, and a penetrating gaze could penetrate the heart.

"Trust me."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but lean down again, and this time, his jasmine tree didn't refuse his kiss.

The sweet taste envelops the lips.

After separation, the two cheeks were very close to each other, and each other's breaths blended.

"Other thoughts...... What are your thoughts?"

The female teacher's breath was disordered, and when she asked for a short sentence, she also changed her breath.

"That's it...... Thoughts on this."

Just by explaining this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped talking, and his body was close to Hisuda, leaving no gap.

「……」

「……」

A few seconds passed quietly.

Kuda Moshu's cheeks suddenly became a little more rosy, and he twisted his body a little shyly, but he couldn't get rid of it.

「…… Hooligans." She whispered.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was reluctant, rubbed his cheeks, and raised his head again to catch Hida's somewhat wandering gaze with his eyes.

"How can I be a hooligan about my girlfriend?"

"Hmph." Snorted.

It looks very cute, so Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but kiss her again.

After the kiss, Tetsufumi Hirakawa continued to look at Moki Kuda.

"Speaking of which, Jasmine, it looks like you've accepted my explanation."

「…… It's you who is confessed, and it's not you who confesses to others." Kuda Moshu said in a low voice.

"What if it's the latter?"

"......" didn't answer, but his eyes were a little terrified.

"I'm sorry I was too talkative, please when I didn't say it." Tetsufumi Hirakawa quickly apologizes.

So the gaze was gentle again.

"And that girl moved into your house last night?" Kuda Moki looked at him and asked.

「……」

Although his eyes are gentle, the questions he asks are terrifying...... It should be said that the tone is terrible, and although it is calm, there is a feeling that something very bad will happen if you don't answer well.

"Yes—but that's because—"

In order to prevent something bad from happening, Tetsufumi Hirakawa immediately said it with a little wording.

"She's just been pulled off the rooftop by me, and no matter what, if she lives alone in a hotel, she will always feel uneasy, right?"

「……」

Kuda Moshu didn't answer, but he should have accepted his explanation, just holding his head with his hand and gently pinching his face, he didn't dwell too much about the fact that Hazuki Reya was brought home by him.

— but entangled in other aspects,

"And where is she sleeping?"

「……」

Tetsufumi Hirakawa froze, and then pondered the reason.

"Well, Jasmine, you know, my guest room is very dirty and hasn't been cleaned......

"So I slept in your room?"

As soon as Kuda Maki heard his explanation, she knew what it meant.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled awkwardly, "Well, yes. She slept in my room and I slept in the living room."

「……」

His gaze was on him, making him a little uneasy.

"Jasmine." Tetsufumi Hirakawa hurriedly kissed her and comforted her.

A full minute before parting.

At this time, he saw that Kuda Moshu stretched out her hand and straightened the ends of her messy hair, and then, a little embarrassed.

「…… I haven't slept yet." She muttered quietly.

「……」

Tetsufumi Hirakawa blinked, looked at the embarrassed female teacher, and then laughed "sneering".

"What are you laughing at?"

"Is this because of this? Najas, when we go back to Tokyo, you can too—"

His offer was interrupted before he could finish his offer.

"Don't."

"Good, good." Now is not the time to discuss this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa followed the words of Maki Kuda and didn't say much,

The room fell silent for a moment, and the two looked at each other quietly.

Then, there was silence for a moment, and the already ambiguous air was ignited by a small movement.

I don't know who moved first and reacted

By the time, the lips were already attached to the lips.

……

When they separated, their postures changed.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was down, and Hinata pressed on him.

"Wait."

As soon as they separated, Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened his mouth to say this.

"Huh?" Above, Kuda Mosaki's cheeks, which had been completely stained with crimson, revealed a little doubt.

"Jasmine, you've crushed me."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa said this, hugged Hinata and moved his body slightly, and there was a relative displacement between the two.

And then.

"It's good now."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa breathed a sigh of relief.

「……」

「……」

After a brief moment of silence, Hinata seemed to understand what she was suppressing...... His eyes drifted to the side a little shyly.

After a moment, he floated back and stared at Tetsufumi Hirakawa. Take a breath and get back to business.

"Speaking of which...... How much does it cost to get medical treatment?"

「……」

After asking about the matter between him and Hazuki, he began to ask about the treatment fee.

Well......

"Jasmine, sure enough, the most important thing in your heart is me." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said.

「……」

Kuda Moshu didn't speak, glanced at him, and pulled his hand that was pressed by her out of the position of his heart, so that he could no longer touch her heart.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa withdrew his hand with some regret, groping his way through the gap between the two of them with difficulty, and then took out his phone from his pocket.

"Here." After tapping the screen a few times, he handed the phone to Maki Kuda.

Kuda Moshu took it, looked at it, and ...... Instinctively, I started counting the digits of the amount.

「1，2，3，4……」

「……」

「……」

After a moment's pause. Kuda Moshu looked at the amount of remittance displayed on his phone, then at Tetsufumi Hirakawa, then at his phone, then at Tetsufumi Hirakawa, and then, his eyes became complicated.

"Tetsuwen?" She called him.

「…… Hmm."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was a little embarrassed.

He also knew that in the eyes of anyone, it would be incomprehensible to hand over more than half of his savings to a person he didn't know much.

"It's ...... Really?"

「…… Really."

「……」

「……」

Kuda Moshu took one last look at the phone screen, and after a moment, sighed lightly, pressed the phone, and put it aside.

"Hmm...... That one...... Is there anything you'd like to say?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the side face of Maki Kuda and asked with some caution.

The reason why it is a side face is because she is still staring at the phone that is placed aside.

「……」

Sighing helplessly again, Hinata Moshu finally turned back.

Because of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa saw clearly the complicated look in her eyes at this moment,

Gentle, helpless, somewhat reproachful, but not wanting to blame.

"Do you feel distressed yourself?" She asked.

"It hurts." Tetsufumi Hirakawa replied honestly.

"What if I chose again?"

"It should still be like this."

"Then I don't have anything to say about you." Kuda Moki said, holding his cheek again.

The side face was surrounded by her warm, soft hands.

"Don't have any ideas?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked again.

"Of course you do...... However, of course, this kind of thing is up to you, after all, we haven't ...... yet."

As he spoke, Hinata Moshu's eyes flickered unconsciously, and his tone was also a little shy.

"Not yet

…… Marriage ......"

"Wedding ......"

"That's it. It's your own deposit, how to use it, I can't say anything more......

With one free hand, he grabbed the end of his hair and brought it back behind his ear.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the female teacher and laughed, "What else?"

"And besides, you've already paid for it...... I feel sorry for you, but I can't get it back, right?"

"Then what is the use of me saying more, it still looks like I am ......"

After a little searching for the right description, he continued, "Hmm...... A chattering middle-aged woman? I'm not."

"And that Hazuki-san, it sounds pitiful too...... So it's a very just, so to speak, just thing."

Hisada's gaze softened.

"In that case, of course I can't blame you. I can't blame you for being nosy, why save her, right?"

"Finally, Tetsuwen."

"Hmm." Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded.

Hinata Moki stared at him.

"I know you too."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa raised his head and kissed Kuda Moshu's face.

"Well, my jasmine knows me best."

"My Tetsubun is also a gentle man."

"Not more than one-ten-thousandth of my jasmine."

Kuda Moshu chuckled softly, "Okay, okay. But ......"

"What's wrong?"

She lay down, on his chest.

"Can you tell me what you think?"

"Of course." Tetsufumi Hirakawa immediately replied.

Then, after a moment's thought, he stroked the back of his soft body with both hands and spoke.

"What so...... What do I think and why did I help her, this question was also asked by Hazuki-san."

"That's what I told her—"

In Tetsufumi Hirakawa's mind, the scenery of the Uji River came to mind, and he said this:

"Because I know her, I know Hazuki-san."

"To know means that in my eyes, she is a concrete, living person."

"Not a person who lives in an abstract illusion of the invisible, marked with the ethereal concept that life is priceless."

"I know her, I can see her, I can touch her."

"When I hear about her, I will know her sadness, I can understand her pain, and when I see her sad and broken down because of these bad things, she will feel sorry for her, I will want to hold her, I will want to stand by her side and help her."

"Although this kind of help requires a considerable amount of effort, it seems [not worth it]." 」

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's tone began to be heavy: "Life is priceless is the most ideal and beautiful statement, but the reality is really cruel...... I know."

"Because of the lack of treatment fees, that hospital was almost ready to give up on treating Hazuki's father...... That's it."

"But—"

After a moment of silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa's tone rose again: "But I'm willing to be idealistic."

"At least I can't care about what is happening right in front of my eyes."

"That's what I think, Jasmine."

「……」

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Kuda Moshu leaned on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's chest and listened to his heartbeat.

"I see." She whispered.

"Hmm." Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled, "Jasmine, you're so nice."

"But—"

Suddenly, there was a twist.

"But what?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked.

Kuda Moki got up from his chest and sat up.

She pointed

His chest.

"Although it is acceptable from the truth, I also know it, and I have patiently listened to your explanation for so long, but ......."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa got up and followed Kuda's fingers to look at his own chest, where there were some traces of water that had not dried up...... It's Reya Hazuki's tears.

「……」

He raised his head to meet Kamikuda's gentle gaze.

"I'm still going to be emotionally upset."

「……」
