"what happened?"
Yu Shou's eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and her breath was warm.
"Could you give me your pen?"
"Pen?"
Kitahara Hakuba was busy for a while before he remembered what pen she was referring to.
As a teacher and also an advisor for the brass band, I always carry a mechanical pencil with me, as I need to mark difficult parts on the members' sheet music from time to time.
Even when he lent his pen to other teachers, Kitahara Hakuba would always keep the pen cap.
"You want this? It's not very expensive; you can find it in any store."
Kitahara Hakuba took out his ordinary pen and examined it closely to see what was different about it.
Yu Shou blushed, her gaze fixed on the mechanical pencil in his hand. Her soft legs, encased in black stockings, were nervously turned outwards.
"so?"
Kitahara Hakuba raised an eyebrow slightly, nonchalantly handing over the mechanical pencil that had been with him since spring.
"Here you go. I wish you the best of luck in every exam."
Yu Shou accepted the mechanical pencil with both hands as if it were a divine object.
Seeing her holding the pen with a look of surprise and excitement, Kitahara Hakuba couldn't help but think, "Actually, this has no other use besides writing."
"Teacher Kitahara"
"kindness?"
Kitahara Hakuba looked down at her, and could clearly see the contours of her figure below the scarf.
Although she was quite well-endowed, she still couldn't compare to Saito Haruka, whose outer uniform fabric was perfectly wrinkle-free, making her elegant and dignified.
"You can
Yu Shou felt as if a small deer was pounding wildly in her chest, her flushed face made no attempt to hide it.
"Want me to pat your head?"
"???"
Not only was Kitahara Hakuba stunned, but even Amegami felt that his request was too much, and his ears and neck turned bright red.
She stood up as if fleeing, and bowed deeply to Kitahara Hakuma:
"I'm sorry! I said something that made you uncomfortable!"
Kitahara Hakuba stood there, and because Amemori had her hair tied in a single ponytail, he could see the girl's hairline.
Just as Yu Shou was beginning to regret saying those words, a warm touch came from above his head.
His hands were large and warm, and an indescribable feeling flowed down from his scalp, instantly enveloping Yu Shou's body in a warm current.
Although it lasted for less than three seconds, it was enough to make her lose control of her emotions.
"Alright, it's almost time for the morning meeting. If Director Morimoto sees that you haven't returned yet, the impression you worked so hard to improve in her mind this morning might be ruined again."
Kitahara Hakuba's words, tinged with a hint of resentment, reached her ears.
Yu Shou straightened up and looked at him, wanting to say something, but hesitated because of shyness. The conflicting emotions on the girl's face were particularly touching.
"Teacher Kitahara, have you read 'Hana & Alice'?" she finally asked.
"Sorry, not yet. I'll go see it tonight." Kitahara Hakuba was a little embarrassed; his students knew, but he didn't.
"Then you shouldn't watch it, Kitahara-sensei."
.
Yu Shou pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and, noticing that no one was around, blushed deeply. You Yu repeatedly said…
"Never mind, it's nothing! You'd better go see it yourself when you have time!"
The girl seemed unable to bear the emotions brought about by these words, and abruptly turned and ran away.
Her steps were hurried, like a startled deer, her skirt fluttering, carrying a faint fragrance, before she disappeared from Kitahara Hakuma's sight.
.
Kitahara Hakuba sat down again, took out his phone, and randomly searched for keywords. Among them, Alice, played by Aonami Yu, learned the meaning of foreign words from her father.
But now, we must pretend we don't understand.
The reason she used Chinese was because she hoped that she could express herself in a way that the other person couldn't understand, which would be ideal and bring her inner peace.
It's like telling your sweetheart the truth on April Fool's Day.
Chapter 220, Section 219: His Absence Leaves the Girl in Vacuum (4K)
Back in the staff office, he met the ferry manager, who was sitting at his desk and asked him to come over.
Once he was right in front of him, he leaned against the back of the chair and said:
"Are you free for the cultural festival?"
“Apart from the brass band, there’s really nothing major happening,” Kitahara Hakuba said.
Each club's advisor needs to observe the club's activities, record the highlights and shortcomings, provide feedback to students, and point out areas for improvement.
The most annoying thing is that I have to submit an activity summary report to the school at the end.
"Then I'll trouble you to move around more during the cultural festival."
The ferry manager raised his hand and made a circling gesture, smiling as he spoke.
"I've delegated the hard work to the PE teachers. You just need to keep an eye on the students and make sure they don't do anything out of line during the cultural festival. If anything unexpected happens, I think the students might listen to you more."
In the eyes of the ferry director, these teenagers prefer to talk to young people like Kitahara Hakuba who have just graduated, and they are more likely to listen to what he says.
The girls in the brass band would run to the office every few days, which shows how good Kitahara Hakuma's image was in their hearts.
This is excellent behavior; it's important to build good relationships with students.
"Row."
Kitahara Hakuba nodded. The job he was assigned to at this cultural festival was pretty much the type of event management.
It's pretty good; it's better than doing manual labor.
At this moment, the bell rang for the morning meeting, and some of the less experienced teachers left the office first, leaving only Kitahara Hakuba and some more senior teachers.
In island nations, newly appointed teachers are usually assigned to be homeroom teachers, and there are even cases where one person teaches all subjects.
High school is a bit better, though, as you only need to be taught your own major subjects.
Being a homeroom teacher is still tiring, because parents will call you directly if there's even the slightest problem.
With all sorts of big and small things mixed together, it's enough to drive anyone crazy.
Kitahara Hakuba had much less to do this semester. Apart from preparing tutorials, he hadn't received any off-campus practical activities arranged by the school.
In my daily office, I listen to various wind instrument pieces performed by top schools to enrich my musical knowledge.
After the morning meeting ended, Morimoto Eimi walked in with her books, looking rather strange, and approached Kitahara Hakuba, asking:
"Kitahara-kun, you're amazing!"
"kindness?"
"Amamori just told me that he's going to take the entrance exam for Hokkaido University."
"Is it the one who said they wanted to apply to Sapporo University?" a middle-aged female teacher asked, leaning closer.
"correct."
Morimoto Eimi nodded, smiling broadly at Kitahara Hakuba.
"That's amazing! I've been trying to talk to her for ages without any success. You just need to say something to her."
Kitahara Hakuba said modestly:
"No, no, no, actually Yu Shou told me that she has been hesitant ever since you talked to her, but she didn't know how to bring it up. Today she finally saw the light, so it went so smoothly."
"Oh-oh——"
Morimoto Eimi's mouth twitched into a circle as she thoughtfully rubbed her chin, a matter-of-fact smile appearing on her face.
"That's right, I was just thinking, how come my own student, after talking for so long, only said a few words..."
“I’m of very little use, almost nothing,” Kitahara Hakuba laughed.
Morimoto Eimi returned to her seat and breathed a sigh of relief. For a high school like Shin-Asahi, which relies heavily on college entrance exam data, it was incredibly important that a student like Amemori could get into Hokkaido University.
After teaching a music class in the morning, Kitahara Hakuba stayed in the classroom lounge and looked at the Seira Girls' High School BD that he had bought for a long time.
It wasn't until lunch break that he prepared to get up and head to the club building.
After passing through the elevated corridor and going up to the first floor, you'll find music stands everywhere, with club members practicing their cultural festival pieces.
Some of the girls who were close to him didn't notice he had come up and were still playing the game of lifting their skirts, exposing their safety shorts in front of Kitahara Hakuba.
As he walked past, the girl who had lifted her skirt pulled a long face, hunched her shoulders, and her expression clearly said, "No way?!"
Upon arriving at the first music classroom and pulling the door open, Kitahara Hakuba suddenly realized that he had forgotten to report the door's existence again.
In the first music classroom, Sakurako Yukawa and Sayaka Akamatsu were chatting.
Sayaka Akamatsu leaned down slightly, as if to relax, and pinched the toe of her white sock with her fingers and pulled it forward. In the instant it bounced back, a few specks of dust could be seen shimmering in the golden sunlight.
Upon seeing Kitahara Hakuba enter, the two immediately stood up from their chairs.
"Sakurako Yukawa, just letting you know that we'll be practicing the music for the school festival today."
Kitahara Hakuba simply left the sliding door open.
"I see everyone is practicing their songs for the cultural festival, so let's skip the competition songs today. Does anyone have any objections?"
"Okay, then let everyone get ready."
Sakurako Yukawa nodded, but after taking only a few steps, she quickly turned around and happened to run into Hakuba Kitahara, who was also turning around.
"That's right."
