(The previous chapter has been released from the small dark room)

Anyway, that's it, and despite some strange things happening, I successfully agreed with Miss Shinohara-sama to meet tomorrow at noon.

The clock is also starting to enter the 24-hour countdown.

After 24 hours, he will confess his bad thoughts to Shiori Shinohara, and then, what will happen?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't know either.

But he did get nervous because of it.

And Ye Yue Reya has been with him for the rest of the time.

Of course, Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked when the girl would return to Kyoto, and her answer was tomorrow, after he had met Shiori Shinohara.

Because......

"Aren't you going to experiment with dreams? If the assumption is wrong, and the dream still happens as usual after the eldest lady kisses, it will be a little dangerous for you to face that person alone. Maybe if you're not careful, you'll be completely transformed into that big lady's hot soldier. ”

“……”

Although it is not very nice to say and not very serious, I have to say that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, tomorrow, Ye Yue Reya will accompany him.

If the dream still happened, she would be able to wake him up in time.

However, for obvious reasons, Reya Hazuki can only hide aside, and she can't be discovered by Shiori Shinohara for the time being.

Of course, Tetsufumi Hirakawa has no intention of concealing the existence of Reya Hazuki, but there is also a priority to solve the problem.

Now, Miss Shinohara-sama's cognition is still stuck in the question of "how should he choose in the face of her and Kuda", if he crosses this question and comes directly to "I want to choose Hazuki Reya......

Absolutely, the problem can get extremely complicated.

Therefore, at least the previous question must be explained clearly before you can move to the next step, "There is also a Hazuki Reya".

Anyway, in the midst of all these assumptions about tomorrow's situation, as well as worries, today's day was spent completely in the company of Hazuki Reya.

Although,Although,It's true that there's something wrong with staying in a closed space with a young and lovely high school girl.。

However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa still restrained himself well-

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who had already done everything in the mouth of Reya Hazuki, actually stopped at kissing and hugging this unserious girl, and didn't have anything strange to do with her.

And in the evening......

Worrying about tomorrow and what further happens in this situation is a bit out of place.

Under such thoughts, even though he is already with Hazuki Reya, even if he sleeps together, it doesn't seem to be anything-

Ye Yue Limi said no, but she couldn't see the actual thoughts, and she didn't mind that much.

However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa still slept on the sofa in the living room.

The evening passed smoothly and came to the next day.

There is still nothing to say in the morning, that is, as the time gets closer and closer, Tetsufumi Hirakawa becomes more and more nervous.

However, time will not slow down because of the nervousness of one person, and the time to meet at noon is coming.

A familiar café, the last time Tetsufumi Hirakawa, Moshu Kuda, and Shiori Shinohara met, it was at this café.

This time, for the sake of convenience, it is still here.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood alone at the door of the café.

Today's weather is not bad, the cold air with the chill of winter is unusually transparent, and when you look up, you can see the sky, pure blue, without any impurities.

The sun was shining, it was a brilliant gold, with a slight warmth.

Looking through the transparent glass door, where his figure was faintly reflected, he could see that there were not too many people in the casual café.

I was unconsciously attracted by the outstanding figure......

The dignified eldest lady still arrived early.

The eyes of the two looked at each other from a distance, and the little joy in the girl's eyes could be seen even at the door.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa pushed open the glass door.

The angle changed, the reflection on the glass door changed the view, but Tetsufumi Hirakawa's attention was no longer there.

Without barriers, the line of sight becomes clear.

The girl who sat quietly in her seat, staring at him with a smile on her lips...... His attention was already on her.

He walked towards her.

Shiori Shinohara, who was sitting in her seat, also got up gently.

One step, one step...... The distance between the two was narrowed.

Until Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood in front of Shiori Shinohara.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hirakawa." Shiori Shinohara smiled and bowed slowly.

“……”

Nervousness and other emotions seem to have gradually disappeared in the elegant posture and greetings that the eldest lady always hassle.

"Shiori, good afternoon." Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled as well.

"Well, Hirakawa-sensei, shall we sit down then?"

"Okay."

Pulling the chair slightly, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat down across from Shiori Shinohara.

After tidying up the hem of her clothes, Miss Shinohara-sama sat back in her seat after he sat down.

The two looked at each other again.

With a beautiful jaw and long black and neat hair behind him, he sat quietly opposite, looking at him with the unconcealed love of this girl.

It's really ......

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked back at Shiori Shinohara's delicate face, and unconsciously quieted down, looking into her eyes, unable to take his eyes off it.

That's how they met today.

Didn't say anything after saying hello.

Shiori Shinohara may want to say it, but her eyes are already telling something, so she doesn't need to say it.

The eldest lady who watched over him, no longer had to hide her fiery emotions, and showed them in front of him without any scruples.

As for Tetsufumi Hirakawa, he wanted to say it, but he couldn't help but have too much to say.

changed his mentality and made up his mind to accept this eldest lady...... When he saw Shiori Shinohara again with such thoughts, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to admit that in just a short meeting, he had been captured by Shiori Shinohara.

A change in mindset brings about different feelings.

In the past, he always resisted in the face of this eldest lady, no matter how much he had to face it, in his heart, there was always a line of defense to alert him, and he would never be able to indulge in this girl.

And now, of course, the line of defense has dispersed.

And once dispersed...... In the final analysis, the charm of this eldest lady is completely cheating.

The delicate and impeccable face, straight, although not too undulating but a perfect posture, with the outstanding noble atmosphere of this eldest lady from a famous family.

Of course, more importantly, the experiences that happened between them can no longer be ignored, and he can no longer make up his mind to give up the experiences.

When all the psychological obstacles are overcome, facing this outstanding lady again, facing the love for this girl in my heart, indulging in it is only an obvious and inevitable thing.

"Guests, do you need anything?"

It was the waitress of the café who broke the tacit understanding between the two...... It seems to be the same waiter as last time.

After hearing the voice, he looked up at Tetsufumi Hirakawa, and immediately recognized the waitress who was standing next to them and was about to place an order for them.

Similarly, when the two of them raised their heads, especially Miss Shinohara-sama's face appeared in her field of vision, the unprofessional expression fluctuations on her face also explained-

She probably recognized him as the man who "stepped on two boats".

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted again, put away the surprised look on her face, and put on a business smile again.

…… She probably has a lot of things in her heart, right?

Because her appearance reminded Tetsufumi Hirakawa of Kuda...... His expression stiffened a little, but quickly stabilized.

"Shiori, what do you want?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the order and asked Shiori Shinohara.

It seems that Shiori Shinohara also remembered - after all, it was actually a few days ago.

A smile appeared on the girl's face as she looked at him.

"Hirakawa-sensei, you should know what Shiori likes, right? It's good if you help the poems weave. ”

“……”

Then, she blinked her eyes and said lightly, "This time, Mr. Hirakawa shouldn't refuse, right?" ”

“……”

To be honest, under the slightly playful inquiry of this eldest lady, and the gaze of the waitress next to him, Tetsufumi Hirakawa felt a little embarrassed.

The eldest lady who holds a grudge? Because last time he refused to order for this eldest lady......

……

After ordering two cups of tea casually, the waiter's gossip eyes were taken back, and she finally left reluctantly.

The two of them were the only ones left.

The two began to look at each other silently again.

But......

"Hirakawa-sensei." After staring at each other for a long time, Shiori Shinohara softly called out his name.

“…… Yes? Well, Shiori - what's wrong? ”

I was a little distracted, and it wasn't until I heard Shiori Shinohara's voice that Tetsufumi Hirakawa quickly blinked his eyes and came back to his senses.

"You met Shiori today, definitely not to sit here and watch Shiori all the time, right?" Shiori Shinohara stroked her long hair, and her tone rose slightly, making her look lively.

"......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat up straight and smiled, "Of course not. ”

"But Mr. Hirakawa didn't say a word, Shiori thought you just wanted to keep watching like this."

"This ......"

"Shiori doesn't mind though."

Shiori Shinohara's words suddenly turned, and the eyes that looked at him also flashed a little brilliance, "However, there should be more important things for Hirakawa-sensei, right?" ”

“……”

Under Shiori Shinohara's reminder, Tetsufumi Hirakawa remembered what he was doing here.

After a pause, Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

"Of course it is."

Shiori Shinohara stopped talking, staring at him with a little anticipation in the depths of her eyes.

If there wasn't something more important, Shiori Shinohara didn't mind sitting quietly like this, even if they were just looking at each other, but if it was her Hirakawa-sensei, it was perfectly fine.

After all, to talk about this kind of scene where you can look at each other without any scruples, there has never been such an opportunity before...... Dreams are still different after all.

But there was something more important, so important that Shiori Shinohara was looking forward to it, and she couldn't help but interrupt such a reassuring look.

Today, a lot of things have happened, and after two dreams, the teacher she cared about, liked, and looked forward to was finally about to respond to her.

Yesterday on the phone, I heard such news, to be honest, even the eldest lady, who has always been dignified, also has a kind of want to roll around in the quilt...... Such thoughts come.

Although she did not do so, the heart that kept beating faster and faster in retrospect did confirm her joy after that phone call.

Even her own heartbeat could be heard in her ears.

Yes, yes.

After hanging up the phone, I thought about the content of the call over and over again, and confirmed it again and again, so my heart beat violently for a long time.

People who always think that the reality is doomed to be wrong, and always understand that it is almost impossible to have results...... Ready to respond to her emotions.

It is precisely because of the small expectation of the result that when it really comes, it is also so dreamy.

Shiori Shinohara was so dreamy that she thought she was in a dream again—after all, based on previous experience, he would only respond to her emotions in a dream.

But only - the first two responses were that the dream was right. But this time it's not a dream, it's a reality.

She went all the way on the wrong path with almost no visible results, giving up several times, and now, she seemed to see the end.

Her inner feelings, perhaps no one can understand.

After being rejected, I always insisted willfully, because it was hot enough, so even if I wanted to give up many times, I re-emerged the emotion...... Maybe only she really knows.

But it didn't matter, she knew it herself, and now the teacher who was preparing to respond to her knew it.

She expects her to be reciprocated.

Shiori Shinohara stared in front of her, at the teacher who was sitting across from her.

She's waiting.
