Hide well, don't move

"Let's go..."

As the awards ceremony ended, Mafuyu got ready to leave.

Naoki agreed and took out his cell phone: "I sent a message to Miharu-san to say I'm home."

As soon as the message was finished, Naoki suddenly felt a fragrant wind blowing on his face, and Mafuyu quickly bent over and lay down on his lap.

"Sensei?"

Naoki looked surprised.

"Do not talk."

What made you hug me?

Naoki quickly thought of a possibility: "Who is Sensei hiding from?"

Mafuyu looked up, his eyes had never been nervous before: "Don't talk."

You are very nervous, have you seen the principal?

Naoki ponders: "...Is that an ex-boyfriend?"

Mafuyu reached out and pinched Naoki's thigh.

She had never been in a relationship with anyone else, how could there be such a thing as a former boyfriend!

"Does not seem."

Naoki looked around, but saw no teacher at school.

Even if Mafuyu really met a teacher at school, she would not be too nervous. In disguise, most people can't really recognize it...

His eyes suddenly narrowed.

Naoki's eyes fall on a housewife in the crowd, with her iconic long pink hair and a face that looks a bit like Mafuyu...

Naoki said in a strange tone: "I saw a housewife who looks a lot like Miharu-san."

Mafuyu whispered: "Has she gone far?"

"Not." Naoki replied, "Auntie is watching us."

Mafuyu's shoulders trembled slightly, and she hid a little further into Naoki's arms.

For an important match like Miharu, his parents would definitely come to watch.

In case her mother finds herself with a student...

Mafuyu didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Sensei, don't hug too tightly." Naoki said in a strange voice.

Mafuyu didn't dare to look up, "Don't talk."

Naoki sighed helplessly, "What happens next has nothing to do with me."

"Eh?"

Mafuyu was shocked, still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, and suddenly felt that where the right hand was pressed, a horrible creature was rapidly growing.

Mafuyu quickly raised his hand as if it was burned by fire:

"Pervert!!"

It's not a Mechanic God robot, it's normal to be unable to control it!

"Sensei, don't move." Naoki stretched out his hand and pressed Mafuyu's back, "Auntie hasn't left yet."

"Really not going?" Mafuyu was very suspicious.

"There are so many spectators, naturally they can't leave for a while." Naoki said of course "If you don't believe me, you can look up and see for yourself."

Mafuyu of course she didn't dare to look up.

It's fine for others, but if she accidentally meets his mother's eyes... Mafuyu has a hunch that as long as she confirms his eyes, she will definitely be recognized by his mother.

Since she didn't dare to look up to confirm his mother's movements, she could only continue to hide.

Mafuyu's face was red like fire, and she turned his head to look away, "Is mother far away?"

Naoki shook his head: "Not yet."

"Really not?"

"You can tell by listening to the noise. There are too many people to walk fast."

Naoki said earnestly "As soon as I turned my head I could see Auntie."

Mafuyu had no choice but to endure.

In any case, must not be seen by the mother.

"...Is mother far away?"

Naoki sighed: "Sensei, it hasn't been a minute yet, you ask too soon."

"That's not a minute?"

Mafuyu is quite suspicious, hiding in Naoki's lap for a while, clearly having a long and tormented life.

On one hand, it stems from the panic of being found by his mother, on the other...

Mafuyu pinched Naoki's thigh again.

Naoki said lightly "Sensei, it's useless."

If pinching your thighs could calm people down, there wouldn't be so many criminals in the world!

After a while.

Naoki regrets: "I can't see Auntie anymore, Sensei can wake up now."

The sound fell on Mafuyu's ears, like a bell before the dark dawn, and quickly sat up.

Mafuyu covered her cheeks with her hands, surveyed the situation closely, and after confirming that her mother's back was gone, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Huuu—"

Mafuyu glared at Naoki.

"If you have something to say, come back and talk." Naoki quickly analyzed "Auntie has to go to Miharu-san, let's go quickly so we don't meet Aunt again."

Mafuyu stretched out his hand and lowered his hat, looked at Naoki's thigh in embarrassment, and turned around and said:

"Separate."

Seeing Mafuyu leave, Naoki sat down for a while, and after his body calmed down, he got up and left.

Walking out of the skating rink, Mafuyu has disappeared, Miharu, Ochako and the sisters' mother have not met.

Naoki glanced at the time on his phone, and before he knew it, it was already 9pm.

Someone walked to the train station, returned to the apartment after half an hour, and then knocked on Mafuyu's door.

The door opened a crack.

Mafuyu asked vigilantly behind the door:

"Why are you knocking on the door so late?"

"Clean." Naoki said confidently "Miharu-san will definitely come to play tomorrow. If I don't clean it up, it will be too late."

"Sensei, hurry up." Naoki urged "It's so cold outside, I'm going to catch a cold."

Mafuyu took off the anti-theft chain: "Come in."

Naoki stepped into the entrance: "I'm home."

"You should have said bother."

"Next time for sure."

"Next time, for sure, not repent?"

"Sensei really knows me very well."

Putting on his sandals, Naoki suddenly sniffed his nose and looked at Mafuyu who was blushing: "Sensei drinking outside again?"

"I don't." Mafuyu shook his head and explained, "I just drank a little after driving back to the apartment, and it was plum wine, don't worry."

Naoki curiously said:

"Why did Sensei suddenly remember drinking alone?"

Mafuyu said softly: "Miharu wins, I want to celebrate a little."

"Call me for a celebration." Naoki sat down at the table "Pour me a glass of plum wine."

Mafuyu refused, "Minors cannot drink alcohol."

"Sensei, don't try to lie to me." Naoki lifted the cup on the table, "Wine made by mixing alcohol with sugar, grapes, rice, and plums is completely acceptable for minors."

The prohibition of drinking by minors is only a law introduced in recent decades, but the tradition of drinking plum wine and rice wine has been passed down for hundreds of years and cannot be banned at all. Especially in summer, every family will drink a glass of plum wine.

"...Just one drink."

Mafuyu knelt at the table and poured Naoki a glass of plum wine.

Naoki looked at the name on the bottle and found that it was Uji plum wine. "Is this the wine that Sensei bought in Kyoto?"

"Yes." Mafuyu nodded, "The alcohol content is only 7.5%, which is very low. When I went to Kyoto for a school trip, I drank it once with a colleague and it tasted really good, so I bought a few bottles to take with me."

Naoki took a sip from the cup, and found that there was not only a faint aroma of tea, but also the sweet and sour taste of the green plums, as well as the faint aroma of wine. It was more like a normal drink when he said it was wine.

"It tastes really good." Naoki drank it in one breath, "One more cup."

"Don't drink too much." Mafuyu held the cup in both hands and heard the words, "Be careful of catching a cold."

Naoki said: "I had a great day today, had another two glasses to celebrate."

Mafuyu looked to the side: "What are you happy about?"

Naoki asked back "Miharu-san won the competition, is there a problem with me being happy?"

Mafuyu poured another cup for Naoki.

The bottle of plum wine quickly ran out.

Naoki licked the corners of his lips, feeling like drinking water of happiness, except that he was a little addicted, without feeling drunk.

On the other hand, Mafuyu's face was already red, and the feigned indifference and the disguise of majesty disappeared, and she praised his little sister's performance on the field today... Obviously she drank too much.

Naoki stood up and started cleaning the room.

When he finished cleaning, he found that the room had become quiet. He turned his head and saw that Mafuyu was lying on the table, breathing evenly, obviously asleep.

Summer is over, and winter is about to begin. The temperature in the morning and evening is very low. Of course, Mafuyu can't just lie on the table and sleep.

"Sensei?"

Naoki called out gently twice, and found that Mafuyu showed no sign of waking up, so he bent down to pick up Mafuyu and put her on the bed.

Covering the blankets, Naoki turned off the lights and locked the doors and windows. He was about to leave, but suddenly saw Mafuyu's brows furrow slightly, as if she had a bad dream.

After pondering for a moment, Naoki took Mafuyu's right hand and entered a dream.

...

When he opened his eyes again, Naoki found himself in a classroom. All the classmates around him were very strange, and he didn't know any of them.

Naoki turned his head and looked out the window, a familiar field appeared in his eyes, it was a school.

Footsteps of high heels on the floor were heard.

The door quickly opened, and a woman wearing a teacher's uniform and a black hipped skirt came in, it was Kirisu Mafuyu.

Naoki looked curiously and found that the Mafuyu in the dream was even younger, and there was still a trace of youth on his face that had never faded, and then...

"Everyone please be quiet, and class will start now."

Naoki was taken aback.

What's with the voice being so soft?

And the cute smile on her face like Miharu, she's actually a teacher in another timeline!

Naoki suppressed his curiosity, looked at other people's textbooks, and found that the printing time was four years ago.

Four years ago... when Mafuyu had just graduated from university and came to teach at school, it was no wonder she looked young.

Because Naoki entered the dream state in the normal way, the dream state was incomplete. The bell rang within minutes of leaving the classroom.

"That's all for today's class, goodbye students."

Mafuyu on the podium bowed slightly and walked out of the classroom holding study equipment. Even though her facial expression was slightly tired, she smiled sincerely.

Naoki stepped up to follow.

Why did young Mafuyu, like an older sister, become a great ice teacher in just two years?

Naoki had asked before, but Mafuyu had never answered, so he might be able to clear up his doubts today.

Followed behind Mafuyu, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of the music class, and there was the sound of a piano coming from the door.

Mafuyu looked curious and stopped to appreciate it.

Naoki looked inside curiously, and immediately fell silent.

The girl who was in the previous class, teleported to the music class in the blink of an eye, and the fragmented dream was completely unreliable.

"Uh, Kirisu-sensei?"

After finding Mafuyu at the door, the girl playing the piano stood up frantically.

"Shiraishi-san plays the piano really well." Mafuyu praised.

"Is it really that good?"

The girl playing the piano lights up with joy.

Mafuyu nodded and said, "From my perspective, it sounds really good."

The girl sat down at the piano, obviously a little excited, and started chatting with Mafuyu.

Naoki stood beside it, listening quietly, and quickly picked up on what was going on.

This girl really loves music and wanted to apply for a music competition, but her parents were against it, thinking that she should study hard instead of focusing on other things and concentrate on getting into college.

Mafuyu just taught at this time, and she still has the character of an older sister. After listening to the girl's plight, she kindly encouraged her and supported the students to pursue their dreams.

It's a shame the ending isn't good.

At the girls' music competition, the girl is tragically eliminated, and she also fails to get into university. The girl left school crying.

From then on, Mafuyu began to doubt whether she was qualified as a teacher, and even regretted giving up skating and choosing the teaching profession... So the trusted older sister who liked to laugh disappeared, and the ice teacher managed to appear.

"I see."

Naoki finally understands why Mafuyu strictly demands that Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Rizu adhere to their talents at all times.

Because she regretted his failure, she didn't want students to follow the same old path as her.

Apart from being serious and responsible, Mafuyu is also a very gentle person.

The dream ends.

...

Naoki opened his eyes and looked at Mafuyu.

Mafuyu hadn't woken up yet, but his furrowed brows were slowly loosening.

Reaching out to help press down the blanket, Naoki glanced at the clock, it was already 10 pm, and it was estimated that he would sleep until dawn.

He looked down and landed on Mafuyu's coat.

Sleeping in clothes must be uncomfortable, even if it doesn't help changing underwear, at least take off the jacket.

Let go.

Naoki lifted the blanket and reached out to unbutton the first lesson button on Mafuyu's chest.

Then the second, the third...

The wrists were suddenly clasped tightly.

Mafuyu opened his eyes and stared intently.

"Sensei, listen to my explanation-"
