Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 32 The Girl's Strange Tales

Amidst the silence, Tamaki Okuhara spoke.

"We won't tell you for sure that you've successfully restarted your life and have no worries. But we believe that all of this is for the opportunity to live a better life. We can't always help you, everything depends on you. For a new life, please make your own determination."

The woman was a little surprised that she didn't get the support she expected, and she started sobbing.

"Isn't this too scary? Would it be better to go back now? Pretend nothing happened. I feel like he's been gentler with me lately."

The unknown is always the most frightening thing, especially when you become numb to your current life, you will begin to fear the unknown, not only because everything may get worse, but also because change requires unparalleled courage and determination.

Jun Matsueda didn't expect things to turn out this way. He looked at his colleagues around him, and they didn't seem surprised.

Okuhara Tamaki held the woman's shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid. I also chose to escape from my husband."

"Huh?" The woman was surprised and stopped crying for a moment.

"Yes, I'm the same as you," said Okuhara Tamaki. "My experience is similar to yours. I got rid of my ex-husband with the help of a friend, and then I opened this company at the suggestion of the police station."

"Don't be afraid of change. I can't say it will always be for the better, but our clients, myself included, have never regretted their decision to flee."

The woman hugged Okuhara Tamaki and cried, "Thank you."

Everyone gathered around the woman to comfort him, but Jun Matsueda did not step forward but stepped aside.

Then he found Natsumi Imokawa holding a camera. The girl's face was flushed with excitement as she looked at the crying women and the people who were comforting them.

Jun Matsueda heard her murmur, "Such moving emotions. Such a beautiful scene."

"You seem very excited now?" Matsueda Jun was not sure.

"Yeah, I got some great photos." The girl nodded and licked her rosy, plump lips.

"Are you still the Natsumi Imokawa classmate I know?" Jun Matsueda suspected that she might have a dual personality, or was possessed by some dirty thing.

"?" The girl didn't understand what he said and looked at him with her head tilted. It was just at this time that the break was over, the client's emotions had stabilized and he was ready to continue on his way.

Natsumi Imokawa put down the camera and immediately became timid again, "I just talk more when I'm taking pictures." After she said that, she trotted into the car.

After dropping the client off at their destination, the atmosphere in the car finally relaxed. While Imokawa Natsumi was in the restroom, Matsueda Jun asked President Okuhara.

"Why does Imokawa-san also work in a nightclub?" He couldn't imagine how Imokawa Natsumi got into this company.

"Because she's my niece." Okuhara Tamaki's expression was very natural. "Her hobby is photography. She begged me to do this job, saying she would do it without pay - of course I still pay her."

She sighed, "I can still take care of her a little bit here. I'm really worried that she'll be cheated by some weird organization out there."

Matsueda Jun nodded in agreement. He thought about it and realized there might be another reason. In this line of work, trust is more important than ability. If someone with bad intentions were to sneak into the company, it would be troublesome. This shows that Okuhara Tamaki truly trusts the director, which is why she allowed Matsueda Jun to directly participate in the commission.

Natsumi Imokawa's hobby is photography, so she joined the news department and participated in the promotional video shooting plan. Jun Matsueda got to know the partner he was about to work with.

But why didn't she go to the photography club? Matsueda Jun decided to leave this question for the next meeting.

When facing Imokawa Natsuji, he never seemed to think about hiding his curiosity.

Jun Matsueda soon met Natsumi Imokawa again because the wind band's summer training began.

Walking into the club room filled with the noise of girls, Jun Matsueda saw a few big words on the blackboard behind him.

"Goal! National Gold!" The training room of the wind band club is very spacious. When the members gather, it feels empty, but when the girls stand together with their instruments, the large, winding shapes of the wind and percussion instruments and their golden glow fill the extra space.

Jun Matsueda, Kou Tsushima and Yumi Seshita were standing at the back of the club room, and the three of them looked out of place with empty hands.

As for Natsumi Imokawa, she was setting up a tripod with her camera, and the girls around her were looking at her curiously.

"Are you really going to take a picture of us?" the girl holding the trumpet whispered.

"I heard it will be in next year's recruitment video!" the girl holding the tuba said loudly.

"Duodai, you guys who play the tuba should just forget about it. Even if we take a video, we can't capture you because your faces and upper bodies are blocked by the tuba." The girl holding the euphonium couldn't help laughing.

"What did our tuba player do to you? You guys have no problem playing the euphonium, but isn't it funnier to get shot in the head by the trombone player behind you every day?" The tuba player retorted angrily.

Matsueda Jun and the other two watched the musicians of the same level quarreling among themselves. Yumi-chan found it very interesting. "So this is the atmosphere of the wind band usually. I thought it was just a group of elegant young ladies playing the harp and zither in harmony."

Natsumi Imokawa remained silent and had already filmed the scene of the girls blaming each other.

"Get ready for practice~" Yamami Maki and Tomatsu Tomoka walked into the club room, and everyone's eyes were on them. Tomatsu Tomoka greeted Matsueda Jun in the corner very naturally, but got no response.

"Who said before that Tomatsu was pursuing Matsueda Jun? It seems that it was all a rumor." The second-year and third-year seniors whispered to each other.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Today we have to complete all the preparations for the competition. The first thing is to determine the theme song and the free song. Please listen to this year's theme song." Yamami Maki directed Tomatsu Tomoka to turn on the playback device.

Tomatsu Tomoka is now Yamami Maki's little follower, which is a small punishment for her previous absence from training as the club leader.

The melodious sound of the wind instrument ensemble echoed in the club room.

"Nearly 29 schools participate in the high school division of the All-Neon Wind Music Competition each year, but only ultimately advance to the national competition. It's a true battle of the hills," Tsushima Kou explained to the news staff. "The competition process consists of regional competitions, prefectural competitions, regional competitions, and finally the national competition. Tokyo is unique in that there are no regional competitions. Instead, the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition determines the number of places, allowing students to advance directly to the national competition."

The passionate prelude opens the curtain of the battlefield in the hearts of the girls. This is the theme song No. 3 "Fairy Tale".

"Hyokaka Takashi is in Group A, and they need to perform one assigned piece (the task piece) and one free piece in the competition. We are currently listening to this year's four task pieces, and we need to choose one to perform, and then decide on the free piece."

"Okay, introductions complete. My mission is now complete. The rest is up to you. Think carefully about what kind of story you want to tell in the new student promotional video, 'Wind Ensemble Chapter,' and who you want to film. Make your choice!"

Tsushima Kou is the NPC who issues quests. He disappears after reciting his lines.

Jun Matsueda and Yumi Seshita exchanged glances. They couldn't count on Natsumi Imokawa, who was completely focused on filming, for this kind of mission. Looking at the dozens of people in the clubroom chatting with each other after listening to the project song, they felt a headache coming on.

After listening to the ensemble for too long, Jun Matsueda felt that his ears were reaching their limit, so he slipped out of the classroom and went to the corridor to rest.

Footsteps sounded behind him.

"Mochizuki-san, you may not believe this, but from the moment I stepped into the wind band room, I was wondering when you would show up."

Matsueda Jun had already gotten used to the omnipresent Haruka Mochizuki, and turned around calmly.

He discovered that the person in front of him was not the elusive girl, but Yamamiya Maki with her hands behind her back.

The girl blinked her bright eyes and looked at him.

I seem to have seen this posture somewhere before. Matsueda Jun felt a subtle feeling in his heart.
