Chapter 408 Departure Ceremony
Chapter 408 Departure Ceremony
"In April, when the grass is green and the birds are singing, in this season full of vitality, we hold the departure ceremony for teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka here with the most sincere emotions and full of reluctance."
Today is the day of the joint dance, but before that, Hiratsuka Tsubasa came to the school auditorium first, because today is Hiratsuka Shizuka's departure ceremony, and as a close brother and the last student, Hiratsuka Tsubasa has to attend no matter what.
"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka has worked diligently at Sobu Senior High School for six years. She has worked hard and selflessly, and has made great contributions to the education of Sobu Senior High School. Let us welcome Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka to the podium with warm applause!" The new principal presided over the meeting with a speech in hand. After saying a few words, he invited Shizuka Hiratsuka to make a grand appearance.
I have to say that Hiratsuka Shizuka is dressed very nicely today. She didn't wear the white coat that she got from the health teacher. She wore a decent outfit and the makeup on her face was just right. She didn't look like she was the day before yesterday when she drank at Hiratsuka Yu's house and couldn't get out of bed yesterday...
The night before yesterday, Hiratsuka Hana was really confused. The five of them drank at least 7 boxes of beer, not to mention the four bottles of brandy in the wine cabinet. It’s not surprising that Mrs. Yukinoshita, as the actual person in charge of the Yukinoshita family, needs to deal with drinking. Who would have thought that Hiratsuka Sakura and Yuigahama Asuna could drink so much…
After Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno drank it all, the three of them drank another box... In the end, Yukinoshita's father came to take it personally~
But nothing happens to them when they go out... I really can't accept it~
"Teacher Hiratsuka is about to take up a new post. We are extremely attached to her and we are infinitely grateful. We have thousands of wishes and tens of thousands of blessings. Now, let us invite student representatives to send flowers and blessings to Teacher Hiratsuka."
The principal's words temporarily interrupted Hiratsuka Yu's memories. She quickly took out her phone to take a picture of this touching scene and send it to the family group, because the person who sent flowers to Hiratsuka Shizuka was Yui~
Normally, the student representative should be the class monitor or the student with the best grades, but Hiratsuka Yuichi has to sing a song for Hiratsuka Shizuka later. In order to avoid aesthetic fatigue, Yui, who ranks second in the class, is responsible for presenting flowers~
"Your loyalty reflects the sun and the moon, and your sincerity waters the new flowers. All the poems and songs cannot express my respect and gratitude to you. I hope you can shine brighter in your future work and life, and continue to be a guide for the success of millions of students."
Yui gave the bouquet of flowers prepared by the school to Shizuka Hiratsuka, then said a few words and quietly left the stage, leaving the stage to Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"Today, teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka has temporarily left us, but she still has infinite attachment and countless concerns, because she is concerned about the education of Sobu High School and the teachers and students of Sobu High School. Now, please invite our dearest teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka to give us the most precious teachings. Please welcome her with applause."
Now it was Shizuka Hiratsuka's turn to speak. I don't know if the alcohol in a box of beer paralyzed her brain and made her forget the words. I was really worried about Hiratsuka Yu...
"First of all, I would like to thank the school for its full recognition and praise for me. Looking back on my six years at Sobu High School, it seems like it was just yesterday. As a teacher, I feel extremely proud and happy."
It’s okay, your uncle is still your uncle after all, and this kind of small scene is still handled well enough. Hiratsuka Yu finally felt relieved.
"Xiao Yu, it's almost time for your performance!" Yui, who had just returned from the front desk, reminded.
"Don't worry, I'll watch for a while~"
I took a quick look at Shizuka Hiratsuka's manuscript. It's at least 300 words long. She should have spoken for at least two minutes. What if she cries a little?
“I am standing here today with a lot of reluctance to leave our campus and my colleagues who have worked with me for so long. When I first came here, I was just a college student with a confused look in my eyes. It was the selfless help of the leaders and colleagues that allowed me to smoothly transition from a student to a teacher…”
At this point, Shizuka Hiratsuka bowed deeply to the audience, and her eyes seemed to be moist. Feeling the situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly raised her head, not wanting to let the tears flow down...
When Hiratsuka Yu saw the couple, she knew she was about to go on stage, so she took out a pack of tissues from Yui's bag and prepared to use them to remove Hiratsuka Shizuka's makeup.
"I sincerely thank all the leaders and colleagues for their care over the years. Now I am about to leave Sobu High School and I am very reluctant to leave. I thank the school leaders for their attention and care, and thank my colleagues for their company and farewell. I wish my colleagues peace and success, and I wish all my students' dreams come true. I wish Sobu High School will get better and better!"
After finishing her speech, Shizuka Hiratsuka bowed deeply to the audience again, and the audience burst into prolonged applause.
"Six years of hard work, six years of excellence, six years full of memories, six years of unforgettableness. These six years have moved us and filled us with deep affection. Now, please allow student representatives to pay tribute to Mr. Hiratsuka with a song."
It's finally my turn now! Without saying anything, Hiratsuka Yu picked up his guitar and walked to the front of the stage, handing the tissue to Hiratsuka Shizuka~
"Will there ever be a day when time can really go back, to the long, unreturnable years that you and I can never go back to~"
Originally, Hiratsuka Yu wanted to sing a song called "The Crossroad Where the Poinciana Flowers Bloom". This song is more in line with the current atmosphere, but as for Hiratsuka Shizuka herself, she only knows beer cups, not poinciana flowers. After much thought, she decided to sing this one.
"I have never said thank you to you. Parting is always sad. Now you are about to embark on a new journey. Please allow me to express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of all the students. I also wish you a brighter future."
I have to say, there is no tacit understanding between Mr. Atsugi and Hiratsuka Tsubasa. When Hiratsuka Tsubasa stopped to say a few words, he actually paused the song!
After the last song was over, Hiratsuka Yu finished speaking and bowed to Hiratsuka Shizuka. Fortunately, with the guitar in hand, she finally sang the last part perfectly. The whole audience applauded, and Mr. Yamazaki and the new principal applauded the loudest.
It seems like it's safe to be in the same class with Yui next semester~
"Since separation is inevitable, let us entrust our reluctance and longing to the joy of meeting again tomorrow. Once again, I wish Ms. Shizuka Hiratsuka a smooth future and smooth work."
After the principal gave his enthusiastic final summary, Shizuka Hiratsuka's departure ceremony was over. As long as nothing unexpected happened at the joint dance, her last shift would be officially over.
"Let's go, Sister Jing. I should help you finish the last part of your work~"
The teachers had all left after saying goodbye to Hiratsuka Shizuka. Hiratsuka Hane and Yui walked over and prepared to take Hiratsuka Shizuka's car to the seaside park.
"Your sister's lifelong reputation depends on this last breath, so please hold me tight!" Shizuka Hiratsuka warned worriedly.
"I know. Even if you can't trust Yukinoshita, you have to trust me. I'm your brother. Open the trunk for me."
