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

Shiori Shinohara was in a bad mood.

She thought that the end was just around the corner, and everything was as she wished, the person she liked and the person she expected to get a response finally gave her the response she wanted.

"Like Shiori, the feeling of liking has reached the point where I know I'm wrong and I have to go on."

"Shiori no longer needs to immerse herself in dreams, it's the same for us."

When hearing these responses, the jumping heart beats in the small chest. The emotion that has no place to rest and wants to pour out makes people feel light and confused, as if embedded in the Realistic dreams blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy.

Until it was confirmed that it was reality and not a dream, the continuous stream of joy that followed even occupied the heart——

Then quickly fell into the abyss.

"Shiori, actually, I still can't let go of Kuta."

When such words floated through the cold air and entered her ears, Shiori Shinohara was completely stunned, as if she felt the feeling of her dream being shattered once again.

Probably a joke of fate, always like this, her experience has always been like this.

She is obviously a famous young lady, she can do almost everything smoothly if she wants to, but these things are always not smooth.

It was hard to convince myself, after all, she and her Teacher Pingchuan had just started, and it is normal for her to be unable to let go now, as long as she and him can continue, sooner or later, this teacher will be able to hold her hand completely.

The result... heh...

Does it have three hands?
He wanted to hold her, Jiu Tian, ​​and Ye Yue when she wasn't paying attention.

Awful.

Even her teacher Pingchuan, her favorite and most respected teacher Pingchuan, would absolutely not do this kind of thing, absolutely not let it go.

Shinohara Shiori stared at Hirakawa Tetsufumi, the solemn atmosphere, the cold air, she wanted to ask clearly.

She opened her mouth—

"Ding dong."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere stagnated, and Shiori Shinohara's opened mouth fell silent.

It was quiet again.

She looked at the teacher who was also a little dazed in front of her, and then looked at the door.

Why is the doorbell ringing again?
——This kind of question also appeared in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's mind.

Why did it ring again? Who is it?

The sudden ringing of the bell broke the atmosphere that was brewing and made everything strange.

"Ding dong."

There was another sound soon in the silence.

"...Shall I go and open the door?" Hirakawa Zhewen, who was fidgeting on the sofa, asked cautiously and tentatively.

Shinohara Shiori didn't speak, and turned around, Hisata Moki also kept the same posture, and couldn't see any thoughts.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen stood up silently supporting his knees.

He walked from the living room to the entrance, the sound of dull footsteps was like his heartbeat.

Still at the entrance.

"Who is it?" I wanted to ask, but the strange silence from the living room behind me forced Hirakawa Tetsufumi to swallow the words he was about to say.

This kind of silence is difficult for people to muster up the courage to break.

Just open the door, you will know when you open the door.

Pressing the doorknob with his hand, Hirakawa Tetsufumi opened the door for the third time today.

Then he saw—

Completely different from the previous two times, it is now evening, and the setting sun that has not yet set hangs precariously in the sky, and in a few clouds that are rendered orange-red, emits the last feeble light.

It is no longer enough to light up the entire sky.

Except for the dull orange where the setting sun was, the vast expanse of the sky was no longer bright, showing a grayish blue.

Street lights have also been lit on the roadside outside the door, and white lights replace the sun to illuminate the street.

Under such a situation, the person who just rang his doorbell in front of the poorly lit door in the evening was a petite girl.

In this low-light situation, she still held an umbrella, a pitch-black umbrella.

As a result, the scene under the umbrella was even more immersed in darkness, making it hard to see clearly.

It can only be vaguely seen that the girl's figure is too petite, like a middle school student.

Then, after the door opened, in Hirakawa Tetsuwen's sight, the girl in front of him gently removed the umbrella she was holding, and the unclear light still reflected her appearance.

The cute little face looks like the facial features carved by a doll.

She is petite but wears a fluffy dress.

Black Lolita, gorgeous and unusual.

The greeting sounded in the ear, and the childish tone pretending to be mysterious was even more familiar.

"Teacher Hirakawa, long time no see."

Holding an umbrella in one hand, and lightly lifting the hem of the skirt in the other, if this is the first time they meet, you may think that the girl outside the door is a visitor from another world, or a mysterious magical girl or something.

only--

"This body greets you."

I can recognize it no matter what, the moment I opened the door and saw the familiar umbrella.

"Amamiya... classmate?"

Hirakawa Tetsubun shouted in surprise.

That's right, the person who came was Yu Gongye, and it was her who hadn't seen Yu Gongye for a long time since she resigned.

Why did this suddenly come?
Just when Hirakawa Tetsufumi was amazed at this, perhaps seeing his doubts in his eyes, Amamiya Yogara gracefully put away the umbrella that had rotated 360 degrees in mid-air, and then answered his doubts.

"This body's father is always busy on weekdays and is abroad, so every time during holidays, my mother will take this body to find my father."

"It was because of this last summer vacation and this winter vacation that this body has been unable to visit Mr. Hirakawa for a long time."

"I just returned to Tokyo today, and I thought of Mr. Hirakawa, whom I haven't seen for a long time, so I came to visit without further delay."

"Teacher Hirakawa, excuse me."

After the explanation was completed, Yu Gongye lowered his head naturally when he said "excuse me".The petite body easily passed through the gap between Hirakawa Tetsufumi and the door, and walked into his home.

"..."

In fact, Hirakawa Tetsubun hasn't realized yet, during the holidays, Yu Gongye's father came to visit... the reason for Yu Gongye is still muttering in his mind.

However, when he saw this petite girl about to sneak into his home from under him, he instinctively stretched out his hand immediately, turned around and grabbed Yu Gongye's little arm.

"..."

"..."

Yu Gongye turned around and looked up at him with puzzled eyes.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's wrong?"

Hirakawa Tetsubun opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Yu Gongye explained to himself as if he understood the matter.

"Oh - this body has not violated the contract. Before coming here, I have already sent a message on the line - although Mr. Hirakawa has not replied to this body yet."

"..."

Line, line again, because of Miss Shinohara's arrival, he didn't have time to look at his phone at all—Hirakawa Tetsufumi's expression was indescribably complicated, he wanted to say too much, but he didn't know how to say it.

For example, in his home now, there are two people, Kuta and Shinohara—maybe including Hazuki Reya, so there are three people.

It was already a mess, but Yu Gongye chose this time to come again.

Unexpectedly, not to mention, and...

Hirakawa Tetsubun stared at Yu Gongye's small face.

Yu Gongye tilted his head in doubt, looking very cute.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen was speechless.

If I remember correctly, Ye Yue said that Yu Gongye also likes... like him?

Ok……

To be honest, until now I still can't accept such news.Really?I still want to ask in such an uncertain way, I always feel that the unruly girl is lying to him, after all, he really didn't expect it.

But no matter what it is, if it is true, now, if Yu Gongye is allowed to enter...

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't dare to think about such a scene.

Four people, four people, it's terrible, and it's messy.

Hirakawa Tetsubun grabbed Yu Gongye's arm, and his expressions were tangled at this moment.

"that……"

Hirakawa Zhewen really wants Yugong Ye to go back first, even if Yugong Yexi likes him or not, the current affairs in the house have nothing to do with this girl for the time being.

That's right, unrelated people.

But it seems that it is too late.

As if aware of the aura - some kind of strange murderous aura - Yu Gongye's expression suddenly became serious.

Her gaze left Tetsubun Hirakawa in front of her, and looked into the room.

Then, the expression on the little face became more serious.

She looked at something.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen looked over.

It's Shiori Shinohara.

Hearing the sound, he left the sofa, and stood by Miss Shinohara not far from the entrance.

She quietly looked at Yu Gongye standing in the entrance, and...

Hirakawa Zhewen glanced down, and quickly let go of Yu Gongye's hand.

"That...Shiori..."

Then it was quickly interrupted.

"Xiaoyuan, why are you here?" Amamiya frowned, looking at Shiori Shinohara as if asking questions.

Shiori Shinohara looked away from the loosened arm, and stared coldly at Amamiya Ye who suddenly appeared——

Very well, she almost forgot about Yu Gongye just now, if you count her—although it was unilateral—then Mr. Hirakawa has four hands.

Ah.

Shinohara Shiori lightly brushed the broken long hair on her shoulders, and smiled ironically at the corner of her mouth.

"As Teacher Hirakawa's girlfriend, why can't I be here? It's you, Yu Gong, why are you here to find Teacher Hirakawa?"

"..."

At the moment when Shinohara Shiori's words ended, Amamiya Ye's expression that seemed to be questioning just now collapsed.

She became dazed, her simple eyes seemed to be disconnected from the Internet for a year, and she no longer understood the reality.

She blinked at Shiori Shinohara, then turned her head and kept blinking at Hirakawa who had a complex expression beside her - as if she didn't want to refute.

"Eh--?"

Yu Gongye shouted.

"What, is it weird?"

"No, no, that..."

Yu Gongye's expression became tangled.

It's like this every time, last summer vacation too, when I came back from the summer vacation, I suddenly found out that something unspeakable happened to Shinohara Shiori and Hirakawa-sensei.

It was the same this time. When I came back from the winter vacation, I got the news—Shiori Shinohara is already with Mr. Hirakawa?

No way?
Although it was the plan, it was true that she proposed it to Shinohara Shiori before, but it was too sudden, right?

She hasn't appeared yet, is it over?

How can there be such a thing?
Shouldn't it be under her leadership that they jointly defeated the Demon King Kuta, and then she solved Shinohara in one fell swoop and successfully captured Hirakawa-sensei?
The script should be like this, right?
In the end, she didn't do anything, and the matter was over. Is Hirakawa-sensei already Shinohara's?

Yu Gongye began to doubt the value of her own existence.

Then, at this moment, after the silence, I heard a familiar voice coming from the living room.

Soft and glutinous Kyoto accent.

"Huh? Is Yu Gongye here too?"

"..."

She knew only one person in the Kyoto dialect.

"Ye Yue?"

Hazuki Reya is there too?What's happening here?
Are you going to carve up Teacher Hirakawa while she is away?
Amameiya poked her head out of the entrance, looked past Shiori Shinohara not far away, and looked towards the living room.

Her gaze swept across the living room.

She saw Michael, she saw Gabriel, she saw Chimera, she saw Impermanence, and she saw Hisada-sensei sitting there, but she didn't see Reya Hazuki.

Where did Reya Hazuki's voice come from?

Just when such a question came to mind, Yu Gongye was suddenly stunned.

Wait, that, Jiu... Jiu, Kuta-sensei? !
Yu Gongye opened his mouth and looked at Mr. Hisata who was sitting on the sofa.

This...uh...

She sat quietly, her emotionless gaze collided with her scrutinizing gaze in mid-air.

Yu Gongye's brain was about to freeze in an instant.

She just left for a winter vacation, actually half a month, right?
what happened?

Things became completely beyond her comprehension.

Mr. Kuta, it's really Mr. Kuta, why is she here?
No, Hisada-sensei is Hirakawa-sensei's girlfriend, so there's no problem here. The question should be why Shinohara is here, and just now he said openly, "It's Hirakawa-sensei's girlfriend."

Ok……

Yu Gongye's little head was running wildly.

This...could it be...

the legendary...

Shura field? !

Already showdown, showdown yet?
Has it come to this point?
Why does the plot go so fast every time she is on vacation?

Thinking in her heart, under the sight of Kuta Moshu not far away, Yu Gongye felt that she was about to break out in a cold sweat.

She realized that this kind of occasion is absolutely, absolutely not something that she can intervene now.

She smelled danger.

Absolutely can not continue to stay here.

Yu Gongye immediately withdrew his probing head, turned around, faced Hirakawa Tetsubun solemnly, took out the umbrella, and was about to open it.

"Teacher Hirakawa, I will take my leave first."

Nodding his head to himself, as if everyone present agreed, Yu Gongye took a step forward, wanting to go out the door.

Then, at this moment, Shinohara Shiori's voice sounded behind her.

cold voice.

"and many more."

"..."

Yu Gongye stopped stiffly.
