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

"It's a dream again... Zhewen, are you really going to use this reason to convince me?"

Hisada Moki's house, in the living room.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi sat on the sofa, sitting a little cautiously, and on the opposite side, separated by about one meter, was Hisada Moshu.

Calm eyes, staring into his eyes.

This is the situation Hirakawa Tetsufumi faced after he entered Hisata's house after he explained his dream.

In fact, when Kuta came back from a business trip last time, he talked about the dream, but this time, he not only said it, but also explained how it was triggered...

But obviously, unless one has seen something like a dream with his own eyes, or knows that he has some strange abilities like Ye Yue, it is naturally hard for normal people to believe it.

Even if he explained it seriously, the calm eyes from the other side also showed this point: Moshu Kuta obviously didn't believe it.

"..."

This made Hirakawa Zhewen a little silent.

That's right, he never thought of shifting responsibility to the so-called dream.

In the final analysis, maybe it was because he did have thoughts in his heart that gave the dream a chance... But——

It is painful to be misunderstood, and it is even more frustrating to have reasons stated that cannot be trusted.

If his heart is the reason in the final analysis, then the dream is at least the fuse that fuels the flames.

From the perspective of deeds regardless of heart, it is not shameful to have thoughts about beautiful girls.And he, if it wasn't for the dream, maybe he wouldn't be in the current situation at all.

the most important is--

The disappointed look from Hisada was the saddest thing.

Of course Hirakawa Zhewen knew that he was a terrible person.

However, no matter what, no one wants people close to him to think that he is a bad person.Especially, this teacher who likes himself and always gives himself tenderness.

Even this cognition has some deviations:
[Obviously already had a girlfriend, faced with the pursuit of other girls, even my own students, but did not refuse]

as well as.

[It's all like this, and I still have to find ridiculous reasons to justify myself]

Of course, Hisada is not to blame for this perception, but there is no doubt that it is hard for anyone to be misunderstood.

It's like a person who has committed theft and was arrested, but is speechless in the face of solid evidence and has nothing to say.However, if he was to be accused of robbery, no matter what kind of person he would have to defend himself.

"This... Mo Shu, it may be hard for you to believe it, but what I said, things like dreams are indeed real."

It was in this state of mind that Hirakawa Tetsubun began his defense.

"I'm sorry about this, it's just..."

"I admit that I am a terrible person and have done wrong things, but I am not making excuses now."

"Strange dreams do exist. When facing Xiao Yuan's confession, perhaps... I do have some ulterior thoughts deep in my heart, but in the final analysis, it is the dark side of my heart."

"In reality, for her, I actually rejected it many times."

"Especially when I was with you."

"Of course I know that it is impossible between teachers and students, and I refused in this way."

"Until something like a dream is triggered for the first time."

"Behavior in the dream is uncontrollable and light."

"It wasn't until I woke up that I realized what happened to me in the dream."

"Moshu, you should understand how I felt at that time, right?"

"I came out of the bathroom with a stomachache so bad I couldn't walk."

"..."

In the voice of Hirakawa Tetsuwen's narration, Kuta Moshu naturally thought of that time, during that summer vacation, when Hirakawa Tetsufumi's dream was broken.

At that time, the teacher opposite her curled up in pain.

"Resigning from Moritani, I think, is a true testament to what's in my heart... What do you think?"

"..." Kuta Moshu didn't speak.

Hirakawa Zhewen looked at her and continued to explain hard.

"And after being with you and leaving Moriya, to be honest, even the thoughts in my heart are about to dissipate."

"The teacher's life has left me, and the students I can't see are almost forgotten in my memory."

"It wasn't until you were on a business trip and Shinohara-san appeared in front of me again that I remembered the past."

"I remembered the things in the dream, and... the emotions that can't be erased."

"...Although I'm still sorry, the thing with Shinohara-san happened before I was with you. I think this kind of emotion is beyond my control."

"Perhaps, in this matter, the biggest mistake I did was that I still failed to reject her well."

"I thought it was just a girl's willfulness. After the play, everything will be over."

"And, I'm also thinking, through this meeting, I will completely end the relationship with her."

"I failed."

"..."

Having said that, Hirakawa Tetsuwen's speech speed became lighter, and finally fell silent.

At the beginning of the winter vacation, when Hisada was on a business trip, Miss Shinohara suddenly appeared with the promise he had made.

He couldn't refuse, so he planned to take this opportunity to face her again, and then completely forget about this young lady.

On the beach at sunrise, he once again rejected the young lady.

"But it's a dream again."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen suddenly spoke again, breaking the silence.

"To be honest, because the first dream happened so suddenly, I had no clue about the so-called dream."

"I had no idea what it was or how it was triggered."

"So, when it comes again, I have no defense at all."

"Just like that, I entered the dreamland inexplicably."

"I'm a terrible person. I admit that I failed to handle many things well and failed to grasp the distance between me and my students."

"However, at the beginning, I really didn't plan to be with someone else even though I was already with you."

"So, about the dream, please trust me, okay?"

"..."

"..."

With the end of his long explanation, the voice of the words touched the wall of the living room, reverberated, dispersed in the air, and there was no more sound.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi has also finished explaining, and Hisada Moshu has not spoken for a long time.

What is she thinking?

Will you accept such a reason?
Will you believe him?
Hirakawa Zhewen lowered his head, he didn't know, he was waiting for an answer.

After a long time, the depressing silence was no longer in the ear, and a gentle and gentle voice wafted... Even in this kind of occasion, in this kind of situation, the voice of a gentle person is still very gentle.

Although this kind of gentleness has taken on a completely different meaning from usual.

"Zhe Wen." Hisada called his name.

Hirakawa Zhewen raised his head and looked at her.

"Are you sure what you said is true?"

"...Yes, of course." Hirakawa Zhewen nodded quickly after recovering.

"..."

"..."

His eyes fluctuated a little, maybe he was thinking about something.

After a while, Hisada Moshu's voice drifted into his ears again.

Light and gentle.

"To be honest, Zhewen, I have no reason not to believe you."

As Kuta Moki spoke, he continued to quietly watch Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

He sat carefully and straight, his usual sluggishness was completely gone... It was like when a child who has done something wrong is facing his parents.

She really has no reason not to believe it. It should be said that she has no reason not to believe Ping Chuan.

"You never lied to me about anything, even during the previous school trip, you and that classmate Ye Yue..."

"If you don't say that kind of thing, I don't know at all."

"But you told me anyway."

"I have always, always, believed in you."

"Have we known each other for more than a year?"

"Although it's not that long, it's enough for me to get to know you."

Kuta Moshu still remembered the first time she met Pingchuan more than a year ago.

There is nothing to say, it's just an ordinary meeting.

When he first joined the job, when he met on the road, he asked her where the staff room was, and she took him there, so he became a colleague.

Very ordinary, ordinary things.

After all, nothing strange happened between her and Pingchuan, such as dreams, such as the tortuous things between that classmate Ye Yue.

For more than a year, their relationship has always been dull.

The emotions of liking are quietly accumulated in the daily relationship.

The same is true. During those daily interactions, she also gained a better understanding of this teacher and her colleagues.

Under the seemingly lazy surface, he has his own firm determination and unchanging principles.

That was the kind of person she knew deeply.

Kuta Moshu nodded slightly, expressing her opinion.

"That's right, you wouldn't lie to me about this kind of thing."

"Even those things that happened before you were with me, you just didn't tell me, instead of choosing to make up a lie to prevaricate me."

"Because of our relationship and my understanding of you, of course I can give you the greatest trust, Zhewen."

"What's more, when you came back that day, you had already confessed the truth to me."

"Since this is the case, there is no reason to deceive me again."

"Taking a step back, if it's a fabricated reason, you should be able to fabricate a more believable one, instead of fabricating a so-called dream that sounds absurd to deceive me."

"That's right, isn't it?"

A soft voice of inquiry.

But such questions do not need to be answered.

This is a question Kuta Moshu asked herself.

Nothing wrong, that's it.

Although it sounds absurd, no matter how you say it, there is no reason why Hirakawa could deceive her on this matter.

In this case, however absurd it may sound, it should be true.

"but……"

"..."

A "but" fell in the living room and floated into Hirakawa Zhewen's eardrums, causing his heart to beat violently.

The eyes of the two collided.

A little sadness appeared in the eyes of Kuta Moshu.

"Zhewen, even if I believe in you and what you say, even when you are facing classmate Xiaoyuan, you haven't forgotten me in your heart, it's just a dream."

"But does it really make sense to discuss this?"

"..."

Kuta Moshu paused for a moment, with more and more sorrow still appearing in his eyes.

"After these things happened, you have to tell me that you can't let Shinohara-san go, right?"

"..."

To the point, Hirakawa Tetsuwen's body stiffened and he was completely speechless.

In front of this teacher, his thoughts have nowhere to hide.

"Answer me, Zhewen, what do you think?"

"..."

When he was avoiding the eyes from Jiu Tian and lowering his head to stare at the floor of the living room, Jiu Tian Mo Shu opened his mouth again and asked him to answer.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi closed his eyes.

That's right, he came here today to confess.

But, if possible, I really, really want to escape.

I don't want to face it, I don't want to choose.

Because the reality is that choice means harm.

Picking them all is also a choice, and it really hurts everyone.

Shinohara, Hisada, Hazuki, and himself... When faced with such an occasion, the person he likes looks at him sadly, how can this not make him feel sad?
However, there is no way, even if you choose one of them, the result of this kind of damage will not change.

Whether it is Hisada, Shinohara, or Hazuki, from the point of view of possible excess self-awareness, once he himself chooses one of them, it will be harmful to the others.

"..."

Hirakawa Zhewen's opened eyes, his gaze, lifted from the ground, and met his opposite again, that deep and sad eyes.

He nodded.

"That's right, I can't let go of Shinohara anymore."

"No matter how you say it is a dream, it is not a dream..."

"Those things that happened in the dream made me unable to escape. I think I need to be responsible."

"...So?" There was a little trill in Kuta Moshu's voice.

"..."

Hirakawa Zhewen's heart trembled.

It has always been like this, it is always easier for people to empathize with the person or thing in front of them.

In front of Shinohara, facing the girl's narration, he would feel sorry for Shinohara.

Now, facing the trembling words of Jiu Tian Mo Shu, he suddenly had the urge to end everything and be with Jiu Tian again.

But ah...

There is no way to turn back.

Shinohara, Hazuki...

Hirakawa Tetsufumi pursed his lips, restraining his tone, he said.

"Today, I met with Shinohara, and I responded to her."

"..."

The words were plain, but ah... gave Shinohara a response...

Kuta Moshu looked at Hirakawa Zhewen and suddenly felt his heart die.

"What about me?" she asked.

"Of course I... can't let Mo Shu go."

Hirakawa Tetsubun didn't look at Hisa's eyes, he was afraid that he would shrink back.

"what do you mean?"

"..."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen was silent.

However, the meaning is obvious.

He meant, all of them.

Absurd idea.

Kuta Moshu kicked Hirakawa Zhewen out.
