I work as a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 53 Has the rain stopped?

This afternoon, under the supervision of Shinohara Shiori, Hirakawa Tetsufumi had to go to the performance department to listen.

After this audition, Tetsufumi Hirakawa felt:
In terms of hard practice, there is a lot of room for improvement in the performance department.

Although today's practice in the playing section has made great progress compared to before, after all, it has only been a few days, and Mr. Xiaoli's style has not changed much.

The main tone of relaxation and happiness has not been shaken-about this, it doesn't matter if it is kept, it is the best if the students can still play with joy during the rigorous practice.

But at least for now, regarding the atmosphere of the performance department, it is still only possible to say that there is a lot of room for improvement.

Anyway, it was 6 o'clock, and the practice of the brass section ended on time. Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Shiori Shinohara, who packed up their instruments, walked out of the concert hall together.

The moment I walked out of the closed concert hall, the sound of pattering rain lingered in my ears again.

Stepping on the corridor, looking outside at the height of the 5th floor of the club building, you can easily see the scenery in the distance.

It's just that in the rain curtain formed by the continuous drizzle, everything is as hazy as if covered with gauze.

Covered by green trees, shadowed by tall buildings, on the road, the white beams of car lights also diverged into scattered shapes in the haze.

However, compared with the heavy rain in the morning, the rain at this moment has been much smaller, like the end of a crossbow, and it is about to dissipate.

Hirakawa Tetsubun looked away.

When he turned his head, the girl beside him was still looking outside.

"Xiaoyuan-san?"

With a cry like this, the girl turned her gaze slightly, and moved her gaze from the rain curtain to him.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

"What are you thinking about?"

"No."

Shinohara Shiori took another look at the rain that was about to dissipate, and shook her head.

"okay."

Not paying attention to this, Hirakawa Zhewen listened to the small sound of rain and wind in his ears, and the side face was slightly smeared with the coolness of water vapor.

When he walked into the stairwell, he suddenly thought of something and said.

"That's right, Shinohara-san."

"Ok?"

Shinohara Shiori, who lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

The eyes of the two collided.

"Actually, I wanted to ask before, what is Shinohara-san's musical instrument?"

"..."

Shiori Shinohara stopped in her tracks without saying a word.

"what happened?"

Hirakawa Zhewen had to stop and turned around to ask.

"Teacher Hirakawa, don't you even know musical instruments?"

"That's not to say I don't know you at all..."

Shinohara Shiori gave him a hopeless look, then walked forward again.

"Teacher Pingchuan, it's not that you don't know him at all, that is to say, you basically don't know him?"

"...you can say the same thing."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen said this very quietly.

"You are the instructor of the flute department."

"...well, I also know that I have a lot of room for improvement in my role as an instructor."

Facing the irony of the eldest lady, Hirakawa Tetsuwen used a very nice way of saying it.Well, it's like the wind section now.

Still trying to find a reason.

"After all, I haven't learned such knowledge, and this instrument looks similar."

"..."

It is really a completely layman's statement.

Shiori Shinohara tidied her long hair helplessly and said.

"My instrument is the trumpet."

"small?"

Hirakawa Zhewen has no idea about this, as he said, these things all look alike.

"..."

Obviously, after hearing his tone, Shiori Shinohara gave up her intention to explain.

Ok.

After finishing this topic, the two walked downstairs to the shoe cabinet amidst the sound of rain and footsteps.

After arriving at the shoe cabinet and changing his shoes, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took out his umbrella from the umbrella stand, stood outside the shoe cabinet, and waited for Shiori Shinohara.

However, after waiting for a long time, the girl was not seen for a long time.

"Student Shinohara."

I had to shout to the inside of the shoe cabinet.

After a few seconds, there was a response, footsteps were approaching, and then Shiori Shinohara came out from behind a certain shoe cabinet, empty-handed.

"what happened?"

Tetsubun Hirakawa looked at Shiori Shinohara's empty hands.

"The umbrella is gone."

The girl said calmly.

"The umbrella is gone?"

"Ah."

The eldest lady is still very calm.

"...was it taken away by other students?"

"maybe."

When saying this, Shinohara Shiori used a very indifferent tone.

Hirakawa Zhewen understood it as the atmosphere of the young lady.

She lost her umbrella on a rainy day and could still be so calm and relaxed. As expected of a famous lady, she would not lose her temper over trivial matters.

However, he glanced at the light rain that was still falling outside the shoe cabinet.

"The rain hasn't stopped yet."

"Ah."

"How to do it?"

"..."

-

Tetsubun Hirakawa held up an umbrella and extended an invitation to Shiori Shinohara who was still standing in the shoe cabinet.

"Xiaoyuan-san, come on."

The girl looked at him and bowed.

"Thank you, Teacher Hirakawa."

"You're welcome, anyway, Shinohara-san's car is at the school gate, right?"

"Ah."

Shiori Shinohara nodded and walked under Tetsufumi Hirakawa's umbrella.

Compared with Amamiya Ye, Shinohara Shiori is much taller, at least without Hirakawa Tetsubun's painstaking effort to lower the umbrella, it can well cover the two of them.

What's more, the rain at this time is much smaller than in the morning.

Hirakawa Tetsubun held an umbrella, Shinohara Shiori followed, and the two walked towards the school gate together.

"Teacher Hirakawa." After walking a few steps, Shiori Shinohara said.

"What's wrong?"

Hirakawa Tetsubun avoided the stagnant water on the ground and responded to the girl beside him.

"What do you think of the flute section?"

Under the already dim sky, under the black umbrella, Shiori Shinohara looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa's side face.

"What do you think?"

"Ah."

"...Well, to be honest, I don't know much about it."

"Teacher Pingchuan, you are really..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun smiled helplessly, thinking it was necessary to explain to the girl.

"Although it may seem like an excuse, a large part of the reason why I don't intervene in the performance department is because I think professional things should be left to professional people."

"Mr. Xiaoli is a professional music consultant. I may make mistakes if I point fingers, so I was negligent."

Shinohara Shiori smiled slightly.

"Isn't it because of laziness?"

"...and a little bit."

I don't deny it.

"Then teacher, do you know how the students in the performance department evaluate you?" Shiori Shinohara said again.

"How do you rate it?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was aroused by his curiosity, turned his head to look at Shiori Shinohara, and met the girl who seemed to be staring at him for a long time.

Shinohara Shiori looked away and looked forward.

"They said..."

"Ok?"

"Very curious about your love experience."

"Ah...this."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

This is always the case when students gossip about the love affairs of young teachers.

When he was a student, his classmates gossiped about those young teachers.

"Are you married?"

"They all have children."

"really?"

"Of course, I heard it in the office."

"I can't tell."

such.

Now, it was his turn to become the object of gossip among those students.

A little emotional.

"But it's okay, at least it's not my professional ability to gossip, after all, I don't have any at all."

After thinking about it, Hirakawa Zhewen laughed at himself helplessly.

The girl beside her pursed her lips when she heard it.

"So, does Mr. Hirakawa have a girlfriend?"

"Xiaoyuan-san also gossips about this?"

"is it not OK?"

Shinohara Shiori looked at him with pure eyes.

"It's okay, but I didn't expect that young ladies like you would be interested in this kind of thing."

"Even the gossip of billionaire wives in the banquet hall cannot avoid this kind of gossip."

Shinohara Shiori said.

"Teacher Hirakawa, gossip is human nature."

"That's true."

Hirakawa Zhebun nodded affirmatively, and after a few seconds, he said again.

"As for my girlfriend, no."

"No?"

"Yeah, what's the matter, this tone."

"Because it seems to many students that you should have."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled.

"Take it as a compliment. But it really isn't."

"Ah."

Shiori Shinohara didn't ask any more questions, she looked ahead and put the hair on her shoulders behind her back.

On the road ahead on the right, there was a little water, and the falling raindrops penetrated into the water, making a few circles of ripples on the water surface.

The rain is getting lighter.

After a while, when the two walked to the gate of the campus, the rustling rain had completely disappeared.

"Has the rain stopped?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi opened the umbrella, exposing the two of them to the sky without any cover.

"not yet."

Shinohara Shiori looked up at the sky.

"No? It seems that it has stopped."

"Teacher Hirakawa, I feel a little rain."

"Is that so?"

Although a little puzzled, he still held up the umbrella.

Tetsubun Hirakawa and the girl strolled under an umbrella again, until they reached Shiori Shinohara's car.

"Mr. Hirakawa, goodbye."

"Well, Shinohara-san, goodbye."

Waving his hand, he watched Shiori Shinohara get into the car, the car started, Tetsufumi Hirakawa also turned and walked towards the other side, the direction of the tram stop.

After only a few steps, he discovered that the wet street, the water reflecting the shops, billboards, and street lamps, no longer had water circles dripping from rainwater.

"How do you think the rain has stopped?"

Talking to himself, Hirakawa Tetsubun glanced at the pedestrians on the street again, and finally put away the last umbrella in his sight.
