At the moment when the dream collapsed, Shiori Shinohara woke up from the dream.

The light in the room is not very good, it seems dim.

But it was enough to see clearly that the picture in the dream, the soft face watching in the sunset, appeared in front of her at this moment, right next to her.

He blinked.

"Shiori, awake?"

It was immediately noticeable when she opened her eyes.

“…… Well, Hirakawa-sensei. ”

Shiori Shinohara also blinked her eyes and said, her voice was still a little lakely, but it added a little cuteness.

"How's your sleep?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa leaned closer.

"It's fine."

"Hmm. That-" Tetsufumi Hirakawa's hand pinched the girl's white and tender face, "it's time to get up." ”

“……”

When hearing this, Shiori Shinohara couldn't help but recall the events in her dream, paused, and then, finally recognized the reality.

"Okay."

She nodded slightly.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled, her lips parted when she touched hers, and then, lifting half of his quilt, got up, and began to dress.

Shinohara Shiori was in the quilt, only her face and smooth arms were exposed.

Her eyes were fixed on the clothed figure by the bed, and then to the window.

Even though the curtains are closed, the light coming out from behind the curtains shows that the weather is not bright and even gloomy in the early morning of winter.

She stared at the curtain for a moment, and after a moment, she came back to her senses.

She sat up too, her eyes searching the bed...... Underwear, shirts, etc., were taken off by a teacher last night and thrown on the quilt.

Covering the quilt, Shiori Shinohara stretched out her hand, lifted the white shirt, revealing the underwear underneath, hooked the strap of the underwear with her fingers, and took it.

Then he put down the quilt...... When I put it down, it was obvious that there was a look on the edge of the bed.

Shiori Shinohara paused, looked over, and caught the peeking gaze.

“…… Mr. Hirakawa. ”

“…… Well, that, what's wrong? Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was caught red-handed, was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

"What are you peeking at?"

"......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was already dressed, coughed dryly and turned his head, but quickly turned around again, "Because Shiori is cute, I want to see it." ”

It's hard to look away anyway.

And it's not just that he can't move away, looking at such a beautiful body, Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but climb up to the bed again and hugged the girl.

"Shiori's ...... It means ......"

It was evident that the girl's voice was a little trembling and undulating, mixed with a little muttering, but it remained steady.

"Hiragawa sensei's words...... There's no need to peek, right? ”

After finishing his efforts, he had already fallen into Tetsufumi Hirakawa's arms, holding the underwear he hadn't put on yet.

This kind of scene, saying this kind of thing, is completely seduction, right?

Facing the beautiful face that was looking back at him in his arms and close in front of him, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not reply, but kissed it.

What reminded Tetsufumi Hirakawa that it was time to end was the sudden alarm clock on the mobile phone next to him—if you didn't hurry, you would be late for work—conveyed such a message.

In the midst of some annoying ringtones, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to end the kiss with the girl and stopped.

"Shiori, it's really time to get up."

After pressing the alarm clock on his mobile phone and looking at Shiori Shinohara's face up close, Tetsufumi Hirakawa said.

Shiori Shinohara glanced down at the hand that was leaving.

"Originally, Shiori should have gotten up already."

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa innocently let go of his hand completely, and a little distance back, leaving the girl's body.

Shiori Shinohara stared at him for a moment, then laughed at him again.

"Mr. Hirakawa, the clothes that Shiori bought last night are still in the living room, can you help Shiori bring them up?"

"Okay."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hurriedly responded.

……

After waking up and not knowing how many minutes had passed, Shiori Shinohara finally got dressed.

Then, holding hands with Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was waiting for her next to her, she walked out of the room and went downstairs to wash.

After washing up, I had breakfast, and then, suddenly, it was time to say goodbye.

"Shiori, I still have to go to work today, are you still waiting for me at home today?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood at the entrance and asked with a smile at Shiori Shinohara in front of him.

"However, tomorrow, I will have a holiday, and I will have time to accompany Shiori."

Talking about his future plans, imagining the picture of being with the girl, Tetsufumi Hirakawa's eyes were full of anticipation at the moment.

He was already waiting to get off work today, and then he had been with this eldest lady this weekend.

Unexpectedly, Shiori Shinohara shook her head.

"Hirakawa-sensei, Shiori can't wait for you here today."

“…… No? The expectant smile on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face stopped, and he became stunned, "Why?" ”

“……”

Shiori Shinohara was silent for a moment.

There is only her teacher in her eyes, and she wants to continue the beautiful dream more than anyone else.

It's just that it's time to wake up.

Shiori Shinohara, silently stepped forward, hugged Tetsufumi Hirakawa's body, put her arms around his waist, turned her face sideways, and leaned against his chest.

"Hirakawa-sensei, do you know? Shiori had a dream last night. ”

She spoke softly, but the topic seemed to be irrelevant to the moment—Hirakawa Tetsufumi was stunned for a moment.

However, he didn't rush to bring the topic back on track, but also reached out and hugged Shiori Shinohara.

"Shiori, what's wrong? What dreams? ”

"About Hirakawa-sensei's dream."

"About me?"

"Hmm." Shiori Shinohara, nodded, "About Hirakawa-sensei's dream." ”

The girl leaned against his chest and remembered.

With the passage of time, gradually waking up, the dream will naturally become a lake and forget.

Fortunately, after waking up, because I deliberately recalled the dream and deliberately remembered it, so soon, Shiori Shinohara's beautiful voice sounded at the entrance.

"Hirakawa-sensei, Shiori dreamed of you last night...... Or rather, dreaming of us. ”

"On an ordinary day, Shiori woke up from the bed, and the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was you, and you were lying next to Shiori, calling Shiori up."

"We got up together and got dressed, and you lifted Shiori's skirt......"

"Eh......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but make a sound and interrupted, "Will this be the case?" ”

The corners of Shiori Shinohara's mouth hooked: "Well, Hirakawa-sensei is like that." ”

“…… All right. ”

Her dreams, she has the final say.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa lowered his head and looked down, his gaze from the girl's back to the girl's skirt......

Well, let's admit, he did that.

The beautiful scenery is hidden under the skirt of the beautiful girl...... Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who thought so, tried very hard to restrain some kind of urge to open up.

When he came back to his senses, Shiori Shinohara in his arms stared at him with his face tilted up, as if he were smiling.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa twisted his face.

"Shiori, go on, what's going on after that?"

He pulled the topic back.

He heard Shiori Shinohara chuckle, followed by a speech.

"After getting dressed and getting up, Shiori and you go downstairs together, wash up together, and finish breakfast together...... Just like today. ”

"Then, let's go to school together—"

"-school?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa's gaze turned back.

"Yes, school." Shiori Shinohara affirmed, "Shiori is going to school, Hirakawa-sensei...... You are also Shiori's Japanese language teacher. ”

"We held hands all the way to the school and came to the class."

Shiori saw Hirakawa-sensei standing on the podium again.

Thinking back to the scene in the dream, Shiori Shinohara's eyes were full of longing and smile.

"Mr. Hirakawa, who is wearing a teacher's uniform and standing on the podium and giving a lecture with ease, is quite handsome."

"......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa blinked.

"Also, when I'm in class, Mr. Hirakawa always looks at Shiori with a loving eye."

“…… You can't do that in class, right? ”

"But Shiori hopes so."

Shiori Shinohara said, sighing softly.

"When you wake up, you can see the teacher, wash up together, have breakfast, and go to school together. Mr. Hirakawa was still standing on the podium, and Shiori was still sitting below, listening to Mr. Hirakawa's lesson. Also, when school is over, we can go home together. ”

"Hirakawa-sensei, do you know? Such a picture is exactly what Shiori expects and longs for. If she could, Shiori would rather hope that such a picture would become a reality. ”

"If this can be done in the future......

In the last sentence, Shiori Shinohara's voice seemed a little fluttering.

It's like a light fog and clouds, which you can't catch.

"Poetry ......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't know what to say, and hugged the girl tightly.

However, at this time, Shiori Shinohara used a little force and broke free from his embrace.

Still clasped around his waist, the girl had left his body.

She pulled away and looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Hirakawa, Shiori really hopes that such a picture can come true."

"Hopefully, hopefully."

"Because Shiori really likes you."

"Shiori's thoughts, Mr. Hirakawa already heard them last night, right?"

“……”

The girl's thumping heartbeat, which she had heard last night, was still pinched in his hand by him and pinched into various shapes.

"Of course I do." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said.

"Well, Mr. Hirakawa just remembers." Miss Shinohara-sama chuckled and looked good.

"Shiori really likes Hirakawa-sensei, I can't put it down."

"I like it so much that I want to grasp the impossible and turn my dream into reality."

"But, it's very sad that Mr. Hirakawa, you are still resisting Shiori."

Even in a dream, even when there is only her in this kind of eyes, she is still resisting her.

It's really sad.

So, when you wake up, it's over, right?

This is Hirakawa-sensei's dream, and it is also her dream.

It's time for her to wake up, too.

After the absurdity, it is time to meet the reality...... It's like the summer festival.

……

"No, I didn't resist Shiori."

Shiori Shinohara was thinking like this, when suddenly, the teacher in front of her held her shoulder, shook her head, and said.

"Shiori is so cute, how could I resist Shiori?"

"......" Shiori Shinohara raised her eyes.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa continued.

"It's just that Shiori is still a student."

"Anyway, it's too ......"

His face was a little tangled.

"That's why last night, I felt that I absolutely couldn't do that kind of thing to Shiori."

"It's not so much that I resist Shiori, but I just don't think it's appropriate......"

"If Shiori had already graduated, I might not have been able to refuse at all......"

“……”

At the entrance, after the voice of Tetsufumi Hirakawa's explanation fell, it ushered in a lot of silence.

The eldest lady, who has always been dignified, was also a little stunned at the moment.

"Is that what Hirakawa-sensei thinks?"

"yes." Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded, "Aside from this, where do I seem to be resisting Shiori at other times?" ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at Shiori Shinohara's breasts, as well as the legs under the hem of her skirt.

“……”

"Snort."

For a long time, holding Tetsufumi Hirakawa, Shiori Shinohara suddenly laughed, approached him again, and lay down in his arms.

"Mr. Hirakawa, why are you always like this?"

"What? Which? Tetsufumi Hirakawa put his arm around Shiori Shinohara and asked puzzled.

"It's always like this, when it's disappointing, it gives Shiori a little hope." Listening to the heartbeat in her ears, Shiori Shinohara whispered, "It's like this every time." ”

“…… Yes, yes? Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't quite understand.

"yes." Shiori Shinohara nodded slightly.

Forbidden love, I don't know how many times I have thought about giving up in my heart, and even, several times, I have indeed decided to give up, but it is always like this, and I always unexpectedly see hope at some point.

A person like her, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she can't help but want to catch this kind of hope in her hands, how can she make up her mind to give up.

"Hirakawa-sensei, if you wake up, you can still think like this, Shiori, even if you wait until you graduate." Lying on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's chest, Shiori Shinohara said.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa rubbed her head.

“…… Wake up? Shiori, speaking of which, you said that last night, but what does it mean to wake up? I don't know yet. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Hirakawa will wake up soon...... You'll know when the time comes...... I hope that when the time comes, Mr. Hirakawa will not blame Shiori for her willfulness. ”

"Why do you blame Shiori?"

Shiori Shinohara didn't answer the question.

I hugged it for a while.

"Then, Hirakawa-sensei, Shiori is leaving soon."

When leaving Tetsufumi Hirakawa's chest, Shiori Shinohara, spoke again.

She stroked her long hair and looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa's gaze with reluctance.

"Hirakawa-sensei, please remember what Shiori said to you last night...... That's Shiori's love for you. ”

"Of course I will remember, but-" Tetsufumi Hirakawa then asked, "Shiori left, where to go?" ”

"Of course it's home, Shiori has been gone for so long." Shiori Shinohara sighed lightly.

“…… Oh. ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded.

Shiori Shinohara, back to the topic.

It's just that Shiori is still worried, worried about what Hirakawa-sensei will do when he wakes up...... After all, it's only this point......"

"Do you know, the last time, when Hirakawa-sensei woke up and said that it was going to end, Shiori was really sad for a long time in a place where you couldn't see."

"That feeling...... I don't want to feel it a second time. ”

"It's really sad to see the disappointment after seeing hope."

"So, Hirakawa-sensei, this time, please don't give up Shiori again, okay?"

Step forward and stand on tiptoe.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was put around the neck by the girl and gave a lingering kiss.

When the kiss ended, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was left alone at the entrance, looking at the door that had been pushed open, and outside the door was the empty road and the gray sky.

……

After standing for a moment, what interrupted Tetsufumi Hirakawa's stunned state was the ringing of the phone.

He came back to his senses, slowly pulled his phone out of his pocket, and glanced down.

On the phone screen, the caller's name is displayed:

Jasmine.
