What does it have to do with how much homework I assign you if you go out to play?
Students, just do your homework honestly!
Not taking the college entrance exam anymore?
What to do with the diploma?
What will I do with my work in the future?
If you don't study hard, after you graduate, you will have no cultural credentials and will have to wander in society, eventually going astray.
Fujii Itsuki doesn't want to see a day in the future when, when passing by a brothel, a heavily made-up young girl suddenly grabs him and calls him "Fujii teacher?!" in surprise.
Considering the past relationship between teacher and student, he wanted to reminisce with her, but she told him that old acquaintances could get many discounts.
——"Teacher Fujii, it only costs 1 yen~"
It is indeed cheap enough.
I really like this kind of female student who is considerate of the teacher’s wallet.
The other party might even say to you: There’s no need to pay extra money for the teacher-student role-play!
Just imagining this scene gave Fujii Itsuki such a headache that he wanted to cover his head.
So, dear students in my class, you should do more homework on weekends.
Don’t say that the teacher is forcing you to do this; this is all for your own good.
Fujii Itsuki kept smiling, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's add another reading comprehension of the Chinese classical text "The Memorial to the Emperor on Departure". After all, you liked Kong Ming very much in class on Tuesday."
"what--"
There was wailing throughout the classroom.
After finishing the afternoon teaching work, it was time for Fujii Itsuki’s favorite rest time - a good nap.
In the office, he laid down his ergonomic chair and covered his face with a book.
"I have already applied to Sasaki, the academic director, for the position of advisor to the wind band club."
When Fujii Itsuki heard the voice, he took the book off his face and turned around.
Akai Muzi, dressed in professional female teacher's attire, sat down at the workstation next to her.
"Akai, are you really coming?"
"otherwise?"
Akai Muzi frowned, as if she was very unhappy that Fujii Itsuki took what she said before as a joke.
"I'm sorry," Fujii Itsuki said, "I just can't believe it."
"I'm not kidding you."
Fujii Itsuki was puzzled: "Akai, the fundamental reason why you came to the wind band is to help me, right? Why bother? Helping me like this will not benefit you in any way, and it may even make you associated with wind music again."
"Did I say this before? I'm afraid that one day you'll suddenly die in this position."
"Just caring about me?" Fujii Itsuki was still skeptical.
"Fujii," Akai Muzi sighed, "It's not that I really want to do this. It's you. Why don't you think about yourself?"
"Myself? What's wrong with me?"
"Who are your friends?"
"Jiuhua." Fujii Itsuki blurted out.
"Friends who can help you" Akai Muzi added a restriction.
Help your friends.
Fujii Itsuki thought for a moment and said, "No. After those university classmates left the campus, we haven't been in touch since then."
"You have been working for nearly four years since you graduated. You should understand the importance of friends. It is difficult to survive in society by yourself."
Fujii Itsuki: "Isn't there——"
Akai Muzi interrupted him: "Are you talking about Jiuhua? Are you going to confide your adult troubles to a girl who is ten years younger than you? Or do you want to tell these things to Chitose? Let them, a little girl who can't even support herself, worry about you and comfort you?"
It's really not good.
Fujii Itsuki also had no habit of complaining to younger people.
This is a bit of pretentiousness as a man. I like to carry it myself.
"Fujii, I went to visit Dean Hanashiro yesterday."
"Dean? Was she the one looking for you?"
"Yes." Akai nodded.
The conversation suddenly became quiet, and silence lay between the two.
Fujii Itsuki looked up, "What did the dean say to you?"
"She told me about your time in Tokyo. The dean said that you were under too much pressure when you were in Tokyo, so you secretly resigned and went home without telling anyone."
“That’s normal.”
Akai Muzi imitated what Dean Huadai said yesterday:
"'Shu gave up the dream he had always pursued, and he didn't even want to tell me. I guess the pressure on him during those three years in Tokyo was probably much greater than I thought.'"
Fujii Itsuki: “.”
"What else did the dean say?"
"The dean asked me to take care of you. Being a teacher is stressful, so I want you to try to rely on me."
Fujii Itsuki took a deep breath and said, "I see. So Akai, is this why you joined the brass band?"
Akai Muzi retracted her gaze and began to organize the English homework on her desk. "I am worried that even if we are no longer lovers, we are still friends, right? I will help you deal with the dean."
Fujii Itsuki: “.”
"Okay, I won't say any more. Fujii, if you ever want to drink, just come find me. I'll drink with you anytime."
*
The word friend.
Fujii Itsuki felt that he didn't understand it deeply enough before.
I have told both Matsumae and Jiuhua that they are friends.
So now it seems that I also have some so-called reliance on them?
Just like when he is depressed, he will go to Akai to drink.
I also have something to ask of them.
Some time after school on Friday afternoon, Fujii Itsuki finished a week's work and got up and left the office.
The campus was noisy and chaotic after school. Boys and girls waved goodbye in the corridor, and the students on duty in the classroom stood on tiptoe to wipe the blackboard. Occasionally, a female student would meet him and bow her head to say "Hello, Mr. Fujii".
Crossing the overpass of Moon Building, Fujii Itsuki stood by the window of the music classroom and looked at Matsumae Shinharu who was playing the violin with everyone inside.
The girl closed her eyes and plucked the trembling strings of the violin with her delicate fingers.
I never get tired of looking at Matsumae Shinharu's face, which is very similar to the professor's but younger and more beautiful.
No matter her facial features, eyebrows, or the small teardrop mole under the right corner of her eye, they all seem to be better and more charming than the professor's.
Her violin playing is even more graceful
friend?
Fujii Itsuki felt that this "friend" seemed to have something different in him.
When Fujii Itsuki was looking at her teardrop mole, Matsumae Shinchun seemed to sense something and glanced out the window.
Their eyes met, and for a brief moment, the girl dodged and looked away. Then she seemed to feel that this was inappropriate, so she closed her eyes and politely nodded to herself outside the window.
It seems like a smile, but the peach blossoms in my heart seem to be blooming all over the mountain ridges.
Matsumae Shinharu continued to practice with full concentration.
Fujii Itsuki calmed down.
I just now inexplicably wanted to be alone with her.
*
At around seven o'clock, Fujii Itsuki bought vegetables for the next two days at the supermarket and returned to Jiuhua's house.
Jiuhuayue was still practicing the trumpet at home at this time.
When she saw Fujii Itsuki coming back, she took small steps forward to greet him.
"This is the food I bought. Jiuhua, you can make it yourself tonight. Don't worry about me. I need to go out for a while."
"Go out?" Jiu Huayue frowned, "Uncle, where are you going so late?"
"The Matsumae family next door."
Jiu Huayue was a little worried. What if the uncle didn’t tell her the truth?
But when he answered like this, the girl was relieved:
"I also need to go."
"You're going? What are you going to do? Didn't you and Matsumae have a fight? You've been mad at her the whole time."
"I'm worried about you. I'm angry with her, which is another matter."
".This is even more strange. How can you be so worried about me? I'm not going to some weird place."
"Going to your female student's house! Isn't that weird?"
Fujii Itsuki asked back, "Jiuhua, isn't your home the same?"
"I--" Jiu Huayue was speechless for a moment, "My family is different. Uncle and I knew each other before."
"The same goes for me and Matsumae. We knew each other before. I worked part-time as a tutor in the Matsumae family."
"Uncle, have you ever been her tutor?!"
