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

Chapter 179
On the evening of June [-]th, Hirakawa Zhewen never expected that he would encounter such a thing when he thought he was just going to the supermarket in an ordinary way.

"Ms. Ogasa's twin sister?"

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

A familiar female colleague, Xiaoli Suzuki, or someone who looks exactly like Xiaoli Suzuki, suddenly appeared in front of him, saying that she was actually not "Xiaoli Suzukiko", but her twin sister, "Xiaoli Suzukiko" Saeko".

Ok……

To be honest, when encountering such a thing, people's first reaction would be to think it was a joke because they didn't react, right?
After all, it is quite inexplicable...

Hirakawa Tetsufumi's first reaction was naturally the same, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Xiaoli, stop joking." Such words.

However, in front of him, Ogasa Suzuko... no, Ogasa Saiko's expression became more and more serious, and——

A fuzzy memory of a certain night—in the room of the Kyoto Hotel, the figures of the two Mrs. Ogasa reappeared in my mind.

He had to stop smiling and start to face the matter squarely.

"Really?"

"of course."

"Ms. Ogasa's younger sister, Ogasa...Saiko?"

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

Amidst her serious expression, Hirakawa Tetsufumi fell into deep thought in a daze.

-

And Saiko Ogasa was still staring at Tetsufumi Hirakawa until he had to raise his head again to face her.

"Is Mr. Hirakawa acceptable?"

"This one……"

Hirakawa Zhewen had a troubled expression, and his eyes were a little dazed.

Even if there is memory, how to say, it is normal to be at a loss when encountering such a thing for the first time.

"I'm sorry, because I didn't prepare myself for this, so I... can't believe it. I haven't heard Mr. Xiaoli talk about her having a younger sister at all."

"Because of some reasons." Saiko Ogasa did not explain in detail, "That's how it happened."

"Then, this, uh...Xiao Li?"

"Ah."

"..."

Another moment of silence.

There was a shopper passing by, and Hirakawa Zhewen cast his eyes on her in embarrassment, and followed the passerby away.

He didn't know how to face this person who looked exactly like Teacher Xiaoli but claimed to be her younger sister.

"Uh, Mrs. Ogasa's sister, you told me this because...?"

Saiko Ogasa also looked at the passerby, and then.

"Teacher Hirakawa, do you still remember what happened in Kyoto a few days ago?"

"..."

"The night Mr. Hirakawa had a fever."

"..."

The extremely straightforward statement, straight to the point, drove Hirakawa Tetsufumi into a deep silence.

An awkward silence.

-

The context of the matter began to emerge in Hirakawa Zhewen's mind, cause and effect.

That night, the two Xiaoli teachers who appeared in front of him were not hallucinations after a high fever and confusion, but reality that actually existed.

Moreover, if nothing else happened, this Ogasa Saiko suddenly mentioned that night to him because of...that matter, right?

That embarrassing thing.

The voice of Saiko Ogasasa's explanation continued to emerge.

"Because I was worried that my sister would not be able to take care of me, so I went to Kyoto with my sister."

"The night Mrs. Hirakawa had a fever, it wasn't my sister who took care of you, but me."

"..."

"Cough—thank you." The memory reappeared, the figure that was pressed under him, the soft touch that jumped into it.

He didn't dare to look at Mrs. Xiaoli's sister in front of him at all.

"..."

"..."

"I also thought, no wonder Mrs. Xiaoli doesn't look like a person who can take care of others... She can take care of me well, so it's her sister."

Started to find something to say.

"..."

No, it's too embarrassing.

Hirakawa Tetsubun experienced the feeling of embarrassment and embarrassment for a long time, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.

Things have been sorted out, not too complicated.

Today, the reason why the sister of Mr. Xiaoli wanted to tell him this matter in person was to explain that it was not Xiaoli Suzuki who was under him at that time, but her, right?

"Well, I'm sorry, please give me some time first, let me... buffer."

After a long time, Hirakawa Tetsuwen had no choice but to say so.

"Ah."

-

Tetsubun Hirakawa reluctantly looked at Saiko Ogasa in front of him.

"Sorry to trouble you."

He bowed.

People passing by glanced at him.

"Just sorry about this?"

Saiko Ogasasa grabbed the handle of the shopping cart.

Hirakawa Tetsubun lowered his body even lower.

"...That matter, I accidentally offended, and I'm sorry!"

Neither of them mentioned it directly, but they knew exactly what they were referring to.

"..."

"..."

After continuous silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa heard the answer with his head down.

"Teacher Pingchuan, I think, you also know why I said that suddenly... I also know that you didn't mean it, but as a girl, I can't pretend that this kind of thing didn't happen."

"...Naturally, it's my unilateral fault. I'm sorry."

"How to deal with it, to be honest, I haven't thought about it. But, I have to speak out about this matter."

"Well, as it should be."

"..."

"..."

"I've finished talking, I'm going first."

"…Hmm. Thanks again, and sorry."

"Ah."

The sound of the shopping cart being pushed away gradually faded away.

Only then did Hirakawa Tetsubun straighten up, looking at the back of Saiko Ogasa walking away.

Mixed feelings.

extremely complex.

However, before he recovered from the complicated mood, he saw Saiko Ogasa suddenly stop, dropped the shopping cart, turned around again, and walked over.

Hirakawa Tetsubun bowed again.

"Sorry again, is there anything else?"

"...don't tell my sister about this."

"Ah."

"Including things you already know about me."

"Ah."

Although I don't know why, this situation is obviously not the time to ask why, just agree.

In the guilty conscience, the other party can only agree to any request.

The footsteps went away again.

This time, there is no going back.

-

"boom."

Ogasa Suzuki heard the sound of the door opening and closing coming from outside the room.

Obviously, it was Saiko who came back.

She put on her slippers and walked out of the room.

"Saiko, you're back."

"Well, sister, I'm back."

Saiko Ogasa smiled as she looked at her older sister who was walking towards her.

"Have you got any pudding?"

"Of course there is."

"Hey, that's good." Ogasa Suzuki smiled contentedly, "What's for dinner?"

“Beef BBQ.”

“Beef barbecue...very good.”

"Well, I bought a lot. If I put it in the refrigerator, I can eat it several times."

"Okay—let's see, there are indeed a lot of them——I saw pudding, and it's vanilla."

"...Sister, do you want to eat pudding before you start eating?"

"Eat one—do you want to eat, Saiko?"

"My sister will be fine after eating."

"Saiko will come too?"

"no thanks."

"Eat one, I'll feed Saiko, ah—"

"Well——Why does my sister insist on letting me eat it?"

"Eating dessert can make you feel better, Saiko."

"Eh……"

"Well, although I don't know why Saeko didn't tell me, but I can see that Saeko has something on her mind recently."

"..."

"Right?"

"Um……"

"Would you like another bite of pudding?"

"...Sister, will you feed me?"

"Of course, open your mouth, ah—"

"..."

Seeing the identical face in front of her as if looking in a mirror, Saiko Ogasa opened her mouth, waiting for Suzuki to feed her the pudding.

She just felt that, carefree sister, there was no need to tell her about some troubles.

After all, my sister, who is naturally dumb, can't solve this kind of thing.

It will only add to her troubles.

"Is it tasty?"

"Ah."
