I play wind instruments in Kansai

Because Erika Toda was a second-year student, Yuuka Yanagi didn't even look at her, her gaze fixed directly on Nozomi Miyamine:

Why are you hiding?

Miyamine glanced at Shiraishi Hitomi and said:

"I was eavesdropping with my senior."

"Junior Gongling! You don't need to be so honest at a time like this!"

Erika Toda said anxiously, she knew how embarrassing it was to hide and eavesdrop, especially to see the minister being talked out of the way.

"So, does the senior want me to lie?" Miyamine Nozomi asked.

"Uh, well... not really..."

Erika Toda wanted to explain, but it was too embarrassing, so she involuntarily lowered her head. The way she peeked at Yuuki Yanagi's expression was reminiscent of a small animal.

Shiraishi Hitomi lowered her eyes, walked away without saying a word, and the others did not stop her.

Willow Knot Lantern said with one arm crossed:

"As you can see, my relationship with them isn't as good as you might think, and Senior Gu Hua doesn't really like me anymore."

She put on an indifferent expression, leaving Erika Toda somewhat at a loss. Should she comfort her now? Or should she speak ill of Tanihana-senpai in front of her?

Erika Toda wasn't a child, and she didn't believe that her junior, Yanagi, wasn't angry. The best way to deal with an angry person was to go along with their temper.

The problem is, she doesn't know the whole story, but it's too awkward to stay silent.

"Um, is Yanagi-senpai going to leave the club?" Erika Toda asked.

"Hmm?" Taken aback by her question, Yanagi Yuto let out a soft hum. "Does Toda-senpai want me to quit the club?"

"Uh, no, no, I didn't have that idea."

Erika Toda was afraid that she would misinterpret her meaning.

"I was just asking casually, but your trumpet playing is excellent; you should stay in the brass section."

"I will stay in the brass band forever. If I quit, then I have lost," Yuuki Yanagi said, tapping her arm with her fingers.

"Um, well, I'll go now, class is about to start."

Erika Toda forced an awkward smile, nodded, and quickly walked away.

Watching her hurried departure, Gongling Wang said:

"Feel sorry."

"What's the big deal?" Liu Mujie didn't even glance at him. "It's normal for you to hide. If you suddenly appeared, there are some things I wouldn't be able to say."

"What I mean is, I should have stood up for you earlier."

"Hmm... Is this usually the case?"

Willowwood Lamp raised the corners of her mouth in a knowing smile, then turned her face away and walked forward, the strands of hair falling down her cheeks to conceal her gradually reddening cheeks.

"Maybe I'm the one who's wrong, and then you'll look down on me."

"You can't be wrong, Liu Mu," Gong Lingwang said with a smile. "From what I know of you, you've always been a good girl."

"......"

She stopped talking.

Gong Lingwang approached with a grin, quickened his pace a few steps, and looked down at her face:

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you shy because of what I'm saying?"

"You're so infuriating!" Willow Wood Lamp raised his face angrily, his brows furrowed in a knot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Gongling Wang apologized repeatedly, and she stopped holding a grudge; perhaps she wasn't even angry about it in the first place.

"Aren't you going to ask me about the cause and effect of this incident?" Liu Mujie said.

"I know."

Gongling Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"You had conflicts with them before, but those conflicts are in the past. You probably wouldn't actively seek out arguments with them. So, is it all because of me?"

Willow Wood Lamp's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously reached out to smooth her hair, but stopped abruptly in mid-air.

"Hehe, you're as narcissistic as ever. I was just talking to Kirishima about Tanihana-senpai."

"Is she angry?" Miyamune asked.

Liu Mujie glanced at Gong Ling, who was smiling, maintaining a smile to lighten the atmosphere.

Do you think she's angry at me, or at Senior Gu Hua?

Gongling Wang said:

"If I say she's angry at Senior Gu Hua, you might think I know her too well; if I say she's angry at you, then my assumptions about her seem too narrow."

Willow Knot Lamp fell silent; what he said was not without reason.

As a naive girl, she still hoped that Miyamune would continue to treat other girls with narrow-mindedness.

"She lost her temper with Senior Gu Hua."

As he said this, Liu Mujie Deng observed his expression.

No surprise was shown on her delicate face, which prompted her to snort coldly.

"That's amazing, managing to lose your temper for three years in one year."

"Hmph."

Willowwood Lamp seemed unwilling to discuss these matters further, letting out a deep sigh and saying...

"After the marching band ends, I'm going to run for principal trumpet."

"So you didn't intend to run for office before," Miyamine Nozomi said.

"I used to want to run for office too."

It felt like Miyamune Nozomi had made a comment on him; Yanagi Yuki's lips were pursed into a thin line, and he seemed somewhat displeased.

"But those feelings weren't as strong as they are now, and I don't want to admit defeat."

"I will support you," Miyamine Nozomi said directly.

He answered quickly, and Liu Mujie couldn't help but swallow. Perhaps he also liked her, but they both tacitly agreed not to say it.

"Is it really a good idea to make such an easy decision?" she asked, feigning calmness.

"What does it matter? My vote isn't the deciding one anyway. It doesn't matter if I get one more or one less. I might as well give it to you."

This seemingly insignificant remark prompted Liu Mujie to kick him without hesitation. He felt a mix of anger, helplessness, and even a strange urge to laugh.

"I still hope that you will vote according to your own ideas when the time comes, Gongling."

Willow Knot Lamp said,

"Don't side with me just because of our relationship."

Gong Ling noticed that her expression had visibly relaxed, and then asked:

"Huh? What's our relationship? Why should I side with you?"

"Ugh—"

Liu Mujie's brow twitched violently. No matter how she looked at it, he was just teasing her. Knowing this, her cheeks still flushed crimson like maple leaves.

"Tch, whatever. How's the uniform? Does it fit?"

Changing the topic relieved Miyamune Nozomi's mind. He really didn't like these kinds of choices unless absolutely necessary.

Especially the multiple-choice math questions, I've been putting up with you for a long time.

"Yes, thanks to you," Miyamine Nozomi said. "What about yours?"

"good."

"Can I see you wearing it?"

"Now?"

"I heard from Toda-senpai that she's a pervert, and I need to keep an eye on things for Uncle and Aunt Yanagi."

He spoke with utmost seriousness, and Liu Mujie raised his hand to rub his temples, saying:

"Idiot, even though the skirt is short, you still need to wear safety shorts."

"Did you bring it?" Miyamune asked.

"I'm definitely wearing it right now!"

Liu Mujie suddenly opened his eyes wide, then his face turned bright red. What on earth was this guy saying?

"Yeah?"

Gong Lingwang's gaze moved downwards, landing brazenly on her skirt, as if he could peek through the fabric at what was underneath.

Willow Knot Lantern lowered her hand, but didn't know where to put it, because she hadn't exposed any sensitive areas.

"rogue."

"Don't worry, I'll only be lewd with you."

"..."

The willow-wood lamp revealed a disdainful expression.

That would be best.

The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch break. She straightened her skirt and walked quickly forward, as if she wanted to leave Gong Lingwang behind completely.

"Whoever arrives late will have to treat everyone to drinks in the afternoon."

◇

The last class of the afternoon.

Hayami Tenma walked into the classroom carrying his lesson plan, tapped the desk with his books, and the noisy students immediately quieted down.

"Take a look at the notes I asked you to review yesterday."

She's naturally beautiful, and her fashion sense is on par with the English teacher's, but lately she's stopped wearing bodycon skirts and stockings and is starting to wear dresses instead.

Miyamine Nozomi picked up a pencil and started doodling in the textbook. The system shop had guidance skills, as well as the "Heavenly Hearing" function, which was essentially an in-team voice chat feature.

He suddenly had an idea: to establish an "in-team voice chat" with Hayami Tenma, given his command skills.

Just by having a spiritual connection with Hayami Tenma, she could be considered a mentor or advisor.

At that time, she only needs to stand like a hostess and repeat his words in detail.

Simply put, it's a mouth substitute.

However, the drawback is obvious: this ability is never truly hers.

Once Miyamune has had his fill of her—no, rather, one day in the future he'll lose interest in her and won't want to continue—she'll become that "blank slate supervisor" again.

This was definitely not a positive outcome for Hayami Tenma's life, causing her to fall from a high place to the bottom, which Miyamine Nozomi found extremely cruel.

Hayami Tenma twirled the chalk between his fingers, his gaze shifting away from Miyamine's face, and he pursed his lips slightly.

"Why--"

Although she was a new supervisor, she had already seen students who were distracted in class, secretly eating snacks, or playing on their phones.

But she really didn't know which category to attribute Gong Lingwang's absent-mindedness to.

She pretended not to see him, but his gaze was too intense, he kept staring at her.

Calling him out by name in the classroom seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

If he simply says, "I'm listening attentively," what should I say?

I'm so angry! I even warned him when I took him home last time, but this kid doesn't respect me, his supervisor, at all.

Hayami Tenma took a deep breath.

It's okay, it's just puberty. Boys' eyes always run faster than their brains.

"Mono no aware" is the core concept extracted by Motoori Norinaga in "The Tale of Genji". It is not intense sadness, but rather a feeling of being moved by everything even though you know that everything will eventually pass away.

As Hayami Tenma spoke, he feigned calmness and glanced subtly at Miyamine.

"Some students seem to be daydreaming. Please bring your attention back and listen carefully."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of chairs swaying could be heard from inside the classroom. Gong Ling looked around, wondering who Supervisor Hayami was talking about.

After finishing the Chinese classics class, Hayami Tenma Sei stood on the podium tidying up his lesson plans, squinting slightly as he said:

"Gong Ling, come to the office."

To be blunt, make him realize his place as a student.

Gongling Wang pointed blankly at himself:

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Liu Mujie raised her hand and said in a clear voice:

"Supervisor Hayami, the brass band is going to perform later, and Miyamune is going too. If it's not something important, can we talk about it later?"

Her voice made Tenma Hayami nod almost subconsciously:

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Seeing Inspector Hayami turn and leave, Yuuki Yanagi stood up without saying a word and went to Miyamine Nozomi's side:

"Why does she keep contacting you? Are you doing badly in school?"

"Not bad at all, very strong."

"Then why does she always contact you?"

"I don't know either," said Miyamine Nozomi casually as she packed her bag. "Let's go."

"You're not hiding something from me, are you?"

"No, there's nothing between me and Supervisor Hayami. Don't talk nonsense, it's terrifying."

"real?"

"Of course it's true. By the way, what would you like to drink? How about we have something nice, like Suntory natural water?"

"Idiot, that's only a hundred at school."

"I meant to drink something nice, not something expensive."

As the two left the classroom talking, Kato Ai, sitting in her seat, muttered to herself with a serious expression:

"No wonder......."

It seems that the Demon King Liu Mujie has been pushing him too hard lately; it's best to avoid contact with him for safety's sake.

"Kato, shall we go?"

Kohikari stood in the corridor, raised her finger and gently tapped on the window.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Kato Ai stuffed all the books into her schoolbag, slung it over her left shoulder, and strode out.

A draft from behind pushed her skirt against her hips with a gentle force.

Starting with the pleats at the waist, then the subtle indentations naturally formed by the fabric's fit, and further down, the contours of the girl's round and full hips extend.

"How annoying."

Kato Ai murmured softly, using her hand to pull her skirt, which was pressed against her, back.

After passing through the elevated walkway, Kohinata Hina said:

"Kato, what do you need to prepare if you want to play in the match? Should we give your senior a gift?"

"Played a match?"

"It means going to section A."

"If you can sing well, you'll naturally get the job, right? Giving gifts and stuff..."

Kato Ai rested her hand on her chin, then smiled awkwardly and said...

"Actually, I don't know much about it either, but I'm the only one playing the oboe, so it shouldn't be a big problem. How many people are in the bass section?"

"Eleven."

"Are there this many people?"

Kato Ai asked in surprise,

How many spots are available for A-level positions in the bass section?

Kohikana walked forward with her head down; there were scuff marks on the toes of her indoor shoes.

"Only six."

"What? Isn't the chance high? I thought it would be much harder," Kato Ai said.

"What are you talking about? Eleven to six means five people will be eliminated, which is almost half."

Kato Ai didn't find it difficult at all; on the contrary, she said in surprise:

"Wow, there's a 50% chance we'll get in!"

"Hmm!"

Kohika Hinata turned her face away and glared at her, looking somewhat sullen.

"If half of humanity were to die tomorrow, would you still think your chances of survival are high?"

Enter the club building and walk up the stairs.

"Hehe... I still think it's pretty big. Anyway, even if I die, it won't be just me dying alone. The feeling of dying alone is the worst."

"Hey, what are you two whispering about here?"

A voice came from above. An Hechun rested her arms on the cold metal bar and looked down from the corner between the fourth and fifth floors.

The two walked uphill.

"When we were talking about the A-section candidate, Kato exclaimed, 'Ughh ...

As Kohika Hinana was speaking, she suddenly let out a strange scream, which startled Kato Ai, who was standing next to her, so much that she trembled a few times.

"I didn't say that!"

"No, no, Anhe-senpai, what kind of clothes are you wearing! They're sooooo beautiful!"

Kohikari Hina raised her hand, pointing tremblingly at Anwa Jun's marching uniform.

Her fair legs, peeking out from under her pure white short skirt, were particularly eye-catching, like fine porcelain, with the muscle lines neatly defined by black calf stockings.

The upper body was covered by a blue shirt that contrasted with the white, with epaulettes on the shoulders, and the chest was slightly bulging under the uniform.

"My long, straight black hair makes my skin fair, and the wispy bangs on my forehead can modify my face shape. My ahoge (cowlick) is the finishing touch, making my long, straight black hair more natural and playful. My nose is small and delicate, and my legs are long. I am a beautiful girl."

Watching Anwa Jun lean against her hip with one hand and smooth her long hair with the other, exuding charm, Kohinata Hina's facial muscles twitched, and she muttered under her breath:

"Uh...you shouldn't be the one saying that."
