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

Chapter 23 The second disease also wants to be recognized
The shrine became silent because of Amamiya Ye's silence. It took a long time until the girl who regretted herself finally chose to speak.

"Then, Teacher Hirakawa..." She hesitated, as if she wanted to ask something.

"Ask whatever you want?" Hirakawa Zhewen looked at her patiently.

"Are you dissatisfied with the second illness, or do you find it ridiculous?" asked suddenly.

"No, of course not." Immediately answered, "But why do you ask?"

"..."

Yu Gongye didn't speak, just looked at him, waiting for his explanation.

Ok.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen thought for a while and said, "I don't have any dissatisfaction with the words about the second illness. As for being ridiculous... there is no ridiculousness in the derogatory sense at all, I just think it's very funny. Hmm... how should I put it... After all, Everyone should have this kind of secondary school experience.”

"Anyone has it?" The girl questioned this.

"The accurate statement should be that there have been."

"Really?"

"Of course." He nodded confidently.

It has already been said here, why Hirakawa Zhewen has already reacted to why Yu Gongye asked this question, if he has not reacted, then he is too incompetent as a teacher.

Why do you want to ask him if he is dissatisfied with the second disease?
Before that, you may have to think about this question: Why did Yu Gongye hide the second disease?
the reason is:

After all, the reason why the second disease is called "disease" is because it is "abnormal" and alien in the eyes of other "normal people", so it is called "disease".

And Yu Gongye didn't want to be treated as a different kind.

She is a considerate, careful, and caring girl who cares about other people's feelings. Because she doesn't want her mother to be embarrassed, she would rather not tell her mother that she wants to have a cat.

Such people have a common problem, they are sensitive.Because of sensitivity, you can always feel the feelings of others, so you can be considerate, right?
That's it.

But now, the middle school student who was originally hiding in his heart and planned not to tell anyone, was met by him and exposed by him.This sensitive girl can't help worrying about it:

Will she be treated as an outlier?

so now.

Hirakawa Zhewen looked at Yu Gongye and the worried look on her face.All he was going to tell her now was—

"Secondary two is no big deal."

He said this with a fairly certain tone, absolutely nothing.

In fact, everyone has more or less experience with the second disease, right?
"Just like my teacher."

"teacher?"

"Correct."

Who hasn't passed the second year of middle school?

Even Hirakawa Zhewen, in his last life, he also had the so-called secondary symptoms.

I think that I am the most unique individual in the world, and imagine that I have various superpowers, such as my hands being numb, and I start to wonder if I have the ability to control electric current.

There are also things such as using an umbrella as a sword, and a sheet as a cloak, and calling it "flame breath" after taking a breath in winter and watching the rising white mist.

When I calm down, I will also think about some profound questions such as "about the origin of life", "the birth of the universe", "why my soul resides in the body of 'my' and not in the body of 'others'".

Everyone should have a little bit of this kind of childish or secondary behavior, right?

So, at this moment, Hirakawa Zhewen looked at Yu Gongye, a second-year middle school girl, and didn't think there was anything worth laughing at at all.

It's just the second grade. When I look back at everything in my mature mind one day in the future, this second grade experience will become a pleasant memory that makes me smile.

For example, when Hirakawa Tetsuwen was in this life, a middle school classmate, when he introduced himself in the first grade of middle school, faced dozens of pairs of eyes under the podium, and said this:
"I, the lord of the gods who command hundreds of millions of gods in the dark place, at the end of the endless void, you can call me..."

I can't remember the specific name at all. It must have dozens of syllables. Anyway, it's just a long list of inexplicable things that only he knows.

Well... this example might not be right.

This is probably not a happy memory.This is black history, it is something that other people will feel embarrassed for the person involved after thinking about it, and it is something that the person concerned wants to hit the wall and roll over after thinking about it.

So after the slightly embarrassing memories were over, Hirakawa Tetsuwen silently threw this matter into the corner of his mind, and just told Yu Gongye about himself, those naive or second-year memories.

"..."

"So, that's it. Even a teacher had symptoms of the so-called secondary school when he was a child."

"This does not mean that it is different, it is the whimsy of children, and it is the result of seeing the world from their own unique perspective."

After a long series of narrations, Hirakawa Zhewen made a final conclusion, watching the girl who was a little dazed was gradually persuaded by him, and his worried eyes were gradually filled with some kind of fantasy color.

"Is that true?"

The middle school girl asked.

"of course."

"Secondary two is not a different kind?"

"No, it's a thought process that everyone has had."

"..."

"..."

The girl who was about to be persuaded lowered her head and fell into deep thought.Hirakawa Zhewen looked at her quietly.

Obviously, after the girl who closed her heart was exposed, she has let go of her guard against him a little.Words that were originally difficult to convey can now be conveyed easily.

But after a long time, he still raised his head and looked at him with slightly wronged eyes.

"But other than me, no one else will go to high school...is this still the case?"

"..."

Actually, quite right.

The origin of the name of the second disease is because it occurs more often in the second grade of middle school students, so it is called the second.If high school students are still like this, they will probably be accused of being naive.

It's not unreasonable for Yu Gongye to hide it, it's her self-protection.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi does not think that this kind of protection is wrong.If you wantonly expose your true heart, you will never get goodwill forever.

However, Hirakawa Tetsubun hoped that this lovely middle-school girl could become a "second-year disease" without any mental burden.Never have the oppressive mentality of thinking that you are a different kind or a patient.

Therefore, Hirakawa Tetsubun thought seriously for a long time facing Yu Gongye's eyes.

In the end he replied:

"Because the whimsy of a child stays in your body longer than anyone else, and you have a more interesting world because of it."

"That's all."

"..."

-

After the above conversation ended, Yu Gongye went back to school with his head down.

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't think that a few words of his own could completely change Yu Gongye's thoughts, and he was deeply touched by the power of language.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't work.Hirakawa Tetsubun believes that this girl can more easily accept the fact that she has a second illness in the future, while she is still suffering from a second illness.

She has been suppressed for too long.

She has suppressed the secondary school two hidden under her superficially considerate personality for too long.

The reason...

Why would a girl who looks considerate and cares about other people's thoughts suddenly threaten him as a teacher?
because--

If you suppress it for too long, you will need to release it. This is probably her signal for help.

Moreover, CK[-] also wants to be recognized, especially for a sensitive CK[-].

And his teacher is the best object.

After all, teaching students is the bounden duty of a teacher.
