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

Chapter 4 Things are not going as smoothly as expected

No matter where it is, threatening the teacher so blatantly is definitely considered serious, let alone in Japan, where the concept of superiors and subordinates is quite strict.

Thus, the moment Shiori Shinohara's threat ended, the office fell into complete silence.

Everyone stopped making a sound, and at the center of their eyes, the girl bowed slowly.

"Teacher, I'm very sorry, but I can only do this."

"..."

Is it the only way to do this?

Hirakawa Tetsubun was speechless.

Conflicts between family members are often not caused by one party independently, and the conflict between Shinohara's mother and Shinohara must also be responsible for Shinohara Shiori.

Hirakawa Zhewen is quite convinced that there is definitely a problem with the communication between them.

Two people with bad personalities collided and finally formed the current inexplicable situation.

The inner analysis flashed by. Facing the threat of the young lady, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at Shiori Shinohara who got up again, and said:

"Xiaoyuan-san, do you know?"

"Teacher, please tell me."

He smiled slightly and continued: "Although I'm not very competent, I have also studied the rules of the playing competition - the number of players cannot exceed 55, but there is no requirement that there must be 55 people, right?"

"..." Shiori Shinohara's expression turned pale.

"And as the instructor of the performance department, I have the right to make suggestions on the list of players for the national competition."

"..."

It is self-evident what the subtext is. For this kind of problem student who threatened the teacher without authorization, Tetsufumi Hirakawa used the method of retaliation.

"Xiaoyuan-san, you don't expect that you can only watch your teammates compete from the audience, right?"

Ah—seems like the bad lines of the strange system came out naturally.

However, the function of the system is to be triggered by one's own initiative. Just uttering lines cannot trigger hypnotic deterrence.

The current situation, of course, is not enough to use the system.

But the content of this sentence alone is enough to make this 15-year-old girl submit.

"..."

Shinohara Shiori's complexion was even worse in front of her.

The expressions of the other teachers in the office were also very exciting, and the innocent female teacher next to him looked at him with eyes like "Mr. Hirakawa didn't expect you to be this kind of person".

Well, it seems that the image of a teacher who is harmless to humans and animals in the past is about to collapse.

However, it was only a temporary counterattack. Hirakawa Tetsufumi was not interested in using low-end operations such as threats to a 15-year-old child.

He looked at the girl with a cold face in front of him, and finally said: "But don't worry, I won't do that."

Shiori Shinohara looked at him with a look of surprise on her face.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen smiled helplessly.

"Xiaoyuan-san, now you know what it feels like to be threatened?"

If the student in front of him was a boy, he would probably pick up a pen and tap his head without hesitation.

It's a pity that the person in front of me is a girl, so it's really hard to do it if you want to knock.

So the pen in Ping Chuan Zhewen's hand turned around with nowhere to put it: "It's not okay to threaten the teacher."

If faced with other people's threats, he might really fight back, but the people who threatened him were his students, and it's not a competent teacher to compete with his own students.

Since you are honored as "Sir", you should do your duty as "Sir".

"I will convey your wish to your mother."

After saying this sentence, the girl immediately showed a surprised expression, as if she didn't hear clearly, and wanted to confirm again.

So Hirakawa Tetsuwen repeated it word for word.

"About Shinohara-san, you don't want to give up music, I will make it clear to your mother for you." He said seriously.

Shiori Shinohara was silent for a while, with an incomprehensible look on her face, she shook her head: "...Impossible, about—"

"Nothing is impossible."

Hirakawa Zhewen interrupted her words, "Although communication may not solve the problem, it must be impossible not to communicate."

"It's been a long time since Shinohara-san and mother communicated friendlyly, right?"

"..."

silence.

It appears to be the default.

Tetsubun Hirakawa showed an expression of no surprise: "Since it is difficult to convey the wishes between Xiaoyuan-san and his mother, as a teacher, I will convey them for you."

"..."

After a long silence, the girl looked at him.

"Teacher, if you do this, you may be fired, right?"

"..."

The expression on Hirakawa Zhewen's face froze.

Shiori Shinohara was unexpectedly thorough, and of course it might be because she knew her mother quite well.

"Even if it's not appropriate for me to say this sentence, I still have to say—"

"Xiaoyuan-san, you have the same bad personality as your mother."

After hearing his complaint, the girl burst out laughing.

Still dare to laugh.

Hirakawa Tetsubun ignored the smile and continued: "However, of course I also have my own considerations."

"My willingness to express my wishes on behalf of Shinohara-san does not mean that I am naturally 'on your side'."

"The choice between free will and reality is a very complicated thing."

"Blindly ignoring reality or blindly restricting freedom, I personally think it is quite inappropriate."

"So no matter your wish or your mother's wish, I will convey it to you, in order to find a balance that both of you can accept."

"What do you think of it?"

Shinohara Shiori bowed: "Thank you Hirakawa-sensei."

"This is what a teacher should do."

"Then how do you convey it?"

"I will find time to visit home and interview Shinohara-san's mother."

"But, Mr. Hirakawa, although I mean to stand by and watch, I may really be powerless about the home visit."

"What do you mean?"

-

Just like Shiori Shinohara said, the condescending mother who is unwilling to listen to her child's voice probably has no intention of having a discussion at all.Even if Shinohara Shiori came forward, it would have no effect at all.

I don't know how many times I called, but I got the assistant "Mr. Hirakawa, I will report this kind of thing to the boss", and then there was no news.

And, at the next week's meeting, he received a warning from the principal, and of course it should be said that it was a warning from Shinohara's mother.

After all, the principal is just an extension of Shinohara's mother's will.

The warning reads as follows:

"Teacher Hirakawa, please do your job well."

Is my job...?

A bit ironic.

Meanwhile, the third semester is almost over.The deadline set by Shinohara's mother, before the start of the second year of high school, is getting closer and closer.
