It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa had just finished lunch.

I didn't have much appetite, so I bought something casually to cope with it.

I chatted with Hinata on the line halfway.,Most of the time it's Hinata sharing the meeting.,Tetsufumi Hirakawa barely talked a little when he mentioned his spirit.。

His mental condition is not good now.

Hisada returned to Tokyo at seven o'clock in the evening, not long after that time.

And he still hadn't figured out what he should do, how he should talk to Kuda.

It's like being alone at home when I was a kid and doing something wrong...... For example, breaking a vase – perhaps worse – by mistake, burning down the house, and then sitting in the rubble waiting for your parents to return...... Something, it's probably such a nervous emotion.

In the midst of such a nervous mood, Tetsufumi Hirakawa leaned back on the sofa, and in the midst of complex thoughts, he gradually fell asleep with his head nodding.

He was really tired.

Both psychological and physiological.

Psychologically, I am naturally tired because of this incident.

Physiologically ...... Because last night, for obvious reasons, holding Shiori Shinohara, the girl's soft body was in her arms, and she couldn't calm down and didn't get enough sleep.

In the midst of double exhaustion, Tetsufumi Hirakawa fell asleep.

There was a little sunshine in the afternoon, not as gloomy as in the morning, and a pale glow in the winter gold entered the living room.

In the tilt of the sun, time goes back little by little.

Halfway through, two cats ran down from upstairs, one ran in front and the other chased behind, came to the living room to play for a while, and then disappeared.

A quiet afternoon, quietly advancing towards the final moment.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa woke up to the sound of a cat meowing.

When I opened my eyes, my head was a little dizzy, the sky was outside, the sun was a little dim, and it was not early.

He seems to have slept a little longer.

Rubbing his neck that was a little sore from sleep, Hirakawa, who was not fully awake, glanced at Michael, who was lying next to him licking his paws, and not far away, Chimera and Impermanence were eating cat food around the food bowl.

Quickly retracting his gaze, he picked up his phone from his hand again and glanced at it.

Time, 16:37.

It's not too early.

Slept for about three hours?

However, speaking of which, something seems to be wrong with him, right?

Seeing the moment of time, Tetsufumi Hiragawa's confused brain reactivated, and then ......

It's hard to look at in an instant.

2 hours and 23 minutes until 7 o'clock.

“……”

“……”

“……”

Naturally, there are some things that must be faced, even if you don't want to face them, no matter how much you feel that it's too early, but the reality is like this, and it is not transferred by people's subjective thoughts.

How exactly should I explain this kind of thing to Kuda?

In just three days on a business trip, I had an inexplicable relationship with another girl, and I slept together.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa washed his face and sobered himself up a little.

Then, for the last two hours, he spent the last two hours in silence.

Then, at about 6:30, it was already dark, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa went out to Tokyo Station.

【I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo】 【】

……

Speechless and uneasy, at the exit of the station, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at his phone, waiting for seven o'clock to come.

From time to time, he also responds to Kuda's messages on LINE.

Kuda Moshu: [Tetsufumi, I'm going to be there soon]

Hirakawa: [Well, okay]

Hirakawa: [Waiting for you to come out]

Kuda Moshu: [I haven't eaten dinner yet]

Hirakawa: [I haven't yet]

Kuda Moshu: [Let's wait and eat together?] 】

Hirakawa: [Good]

……

The time came to seven o'clock.

No more messages were sent on the line, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa put away his phone.

I guess I've gotten off the bus, right?

Now we are walking towards the exit.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the people who were gradually appearing, and his mood gradually broke away from the state of apprehension and anxiety and became calm.

Probably this is the calm before the storm.

Or maybe it's because, in the coming time, he has been forced to accept this fact...... There is no perfect solution to this problem.

Perhaps this can be called the peace of mind of powerlessness......

It's like a candidate who has finished the last exam, although the results have not yet come down, but he has clearly known the reality that he has to fail the course.

What else can be done?

“……”

“……”

"Zhewen, what are you in a daze?"

“……”

Suddenly the voice sounded in my ears, a familiar gentle voice...... Tetsufumi Hirakawa sensed his heart pounding suddenly.

His eyes refocused, his gaze slightly shifted to the left.

The soft goose egg face, slightly curved eyes, and a shallow smile that is not hot, but makes people feel reassured.

The two strands of hair that fell on the sides of his cheeks swayed gently, and Kuda Moshu pulled the suitcase and brushed the swaying ends of the hair with one hand.

"What are you thinking? Didn't even see me come out. Kuda snapped with a smile.

“……”

How do you describe Tetsufumi Hirakawa's state of mind at the moment?

It had only been three days, but perhaps because of the devastating dream, he always had a feeling that a long time had passed at this moment.

Looking at the gentle face of Maki Kuda in front of him, Tetsufumi Hirakawa wanted to embrace her in his arms.

He restrained.

"Jasmine, are you here?" A faint smile also appeared on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face, "What else can I think, I'm thinking about you." ”

As he spoke, he reached for the suitcase in Kuda's hand.

"Think how I didn't find me?" Kuda Moshu handed the suitcase to Tetsufumi Hirakawa, and then, naturally, took Tetsufumi Hirakawa's free hand.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hesitated, grabbed the warm hand in his hand, and interlocked his fingers.

"I'm thinking about it." He said.

"Really?"

"Nature is true."

"Okay—"

Kuda Moshu took it seriously, "Let's go?" ”

"Hmm."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa pulled the suitcase in one hand and held the Kuda Moshu in the other and walked forward.

"To my house?" Kuda asked.

"Hmm." Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded.

"What about dinner?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"I haven't eaten Tetsuwen's food in a few days."

【I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo】 【】

"Then I'll do it for you."

"Okay."

“……”

“……”

"Zhewen." It didn't take long for him to be quiet, and Kuda Moshu spoke again.

"What's wrong?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at her, only to realize that her eyes had been looking at him.

"......" she blinked, a faint smile, eyes talking.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa understood.

He approached her, lowered his head, and touched her lips lightly.

"Alright."

"Uh-huh."

The female teacher was satisfied.

……

I took a taxi home with Kuda Moshu, got off together, bought some ingredients at a nearby supermarket, and then came to her house together.

Dinner was done, and naturally Tetsufumi Hirakawa made it by himself...... However, even though Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked Kuda to rest, Hinata came to the kitchen to work with him.

"It's okay to have a meeting, it's not too tiring, besides, Zhewen, don't you also work for a day?"

“……”

Although in fact he took a day off today......

Faced with this statement, Tetsufumi Hirakawa could only agree in silence.

The two of them worked together, and dinner didn't take too long, and soon, they were at the table together.

"I'm moving."

In the voice of Kuda Moshu, the two picked up chopsticks together.

At the dinner table, Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't speak much most of the time, just listened to Kuda Moshu's mouth and occasionally responded.

And just like that, in the gentle voice of Hisada, the dinner ended.

"That's right, Tetsuwen."

After dinner, the two sat down on the couch together.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa leaned against the back of the sofa, and Maki Kuda leaned on his shoulder, two hands around his arms.

"Well, Jasmine, what's wrong?"

In this position, the arms naturally touch...... It's just that today's Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't have the heart to feel this kind of touch.

"In the few days I've been away, have you missed me?"

"Absolutely." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said.

"Think about it?"

"Did you ask this question on the phone this morning?"

"Didn't you fail to answer at the time?"

"That'...... It's like ......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought for a moment, and then said, "It's like Christmas, a child with socks hanging on the side of the bed, squinting all night long, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive." ”

"Eh......" Maki Kuda lifted a little face from Tetsufumi Hirakawa's shoulder and stared at him, "You see?" ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also looked at her and smiled lightly.

"I didn't see Santa Claus, but I guessed."

“……”

Kuda Moshu snorted softly.

"Then there will be no surprise if you expose it like this, Zhewen."

"Although Christmas is over, my jasmine tree will definitely bring me a gift when she goes out, this kind of thing can be guessed."

"So convinced?"

"Of course."

"Okay."

Kuda Moki lay back on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's shoulder.

"Can you guess what the gift is?"

“…… How do you guess this? ”

"Guess."

“…… All right. Tetsufumi Hirakawa reluctantly replied, "Hmm......"

"Clothes?"

“……”

After being silent for a while, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Maki Kuda and blinked: "Did you guess it at once?" ”

“……”

As if he felt that this was boring, Hinata Moki reached out and pinched his face.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled helplessly: "I can't help this, right?" ”

Kuda let go of his hand.

"What about you, Tetsuwen?"

"Didn't you say that there would be no surprise if it was exposed?"

"You can't be unprepared, right?"

"Then you don't believe me too much, do you? It was supposed to be our first Christmas after being together, and of course there was preparation in advance. ”

"Ready?"

"Of course." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said.

"Hmm." After answering, Hinata Moshu hugged Tetsufumi Hirakawa and didn't speak.

The next conversation was after the sound of their breathing echoed through the quiet room for a long time.

"Tetsuwen, how's the work?" Kuda asked.

"Probably, not much." Tetsufumi Hirakawa replied.

"Didn't it go well?"

"Hmm...... How so...... It was not bad at first, but I thought of the theme, had the basic setting, passed the review, and started creating. However, I got stuck when I was writing the script recently. ”

"That's right...... Looks like you're going to have to adapt to your new job. ”

"yes."

“……”

“……”

The topic of gossip about miscellaneous matters quickly stopped again.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa breathed as smoothly as he could, quietly feeling the touch of the body in his hand.

Tranquil atmosphere, gently beating heart......

To be honest, Tetsufumi Hirakawa really didn't want to break such a faint and warm atmosphere.

Gentle and lovely teacher, who doesn't want to hurt her.

But ......

The reality that has already happened cannot be erased, if such a seemingly beautiful tranquility is made up of deception and lies......

Is this really tranquility?

"Jasmine."

Staring at the pitch-black TV screen in front of the couch, the light in the living room reflected in it, projecting the blurred silhouette of the two of them.

"Hmm." Kuda Moki responded to him on his shoulder, the voice was far from his ears****** Tetsufumi Kawakawa leaned over and rested his side face on Kuda's head.

"I have something to tell you."

"yes, I know." Kuda Moshu responded naturally, without any surprises, "That's what you said, what you have dealt with in the past two days, right?" ”

“…… Oh, yes. ”

"Is it clear?"

"Nope." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said.

"Didn't you say that you would tell me if it was solved?"

"Probably...... It can't be solved. ”

"So......" Kuda Moshu nodded, "I guessed it." ”

“…… Guessed? ”

"It's like Zhewen, you can guess at once that I will prepare a gift for you. In the past two days, I have been talking about things and will explain them to me when they are resolved...... I'm sure I'm guessing. Of course, at that time, I was just a little confused, and I still thought that I should believe you. ”

Kuda Moshu said.

"But after coming out of the station and seeing your absent-minded appearance, these not-so-good guesses are almost confirmed."

【I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo】 【】

"Zhewen, you know what? When I first met you at the station, I thought about the last time...... I'm going to look for you in Kyoto. ”

"So, it's pretty much the same, right?"

"Did I guess right?"

"......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't speak for the time being.

"......" Kuda Moshu didn't speak anymore.

Really...... Although he didn't think to hide it with lies and deception, ah, he really couldn't hide it from the teacher who knew him well......

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless, and the silence lasted for a brief moment.

"Then why didn't you ask me?" He asked.

"I'm waiting for you to take the initiative to tell me, and you have to take the initiative to admit that you have done something wrong." Kuda replied.

“…… Well. ”

“……”

“……”

Leaning on Kuda Moshu's body, feeling her hand holding him, you can also smell a faint, fresh, reassuring fragrance on her body.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's heartbeat finally broke out at this moment, and it hurt a little.

"I ......"

……

……

……

When Tetsufumi Hirakawa got home, it was already past ten o'clock.

Alone, he pushed open the door and closed it softly, and then, silently, passed by the cat that had come to greet him, and walked to the living room.

He sat down on the couch and leaned back, staring at the light on the ceiling of the living room.

Silent for a long time.
