The members of the Kamikawa Wind Orchestra were talking non-stop, some were crying with tissues in their hands, and some were talking on the phone with someone.

"The happiness belongs to them and has nothing to do with our Human Observation Department." Toru Watanabe sighed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kiyono Rin gave him an annoyed look, "We are all students of Kamigawa."

"Yes, yes, my realm is low, and I can only see my ego."

Qingye Rin glanced at the still excited members and said, "Let's go. We still have things to do."

"what's up?"

"Your favorite thing."

"My favorite thing?" Watanabe Toru suddenly had endless reverie. Could it be that Kiyono Rin was so happy that she wanted to go to a couple hotel with him?

He was in a dilemma and said, "No, I really can't do that. If Meiji finds out, I'll be dead."

"What are you thinking about?" Qing Ye Lin couldn't stand him, "Isn't your favorite thing to do to be hated by others?"

"... Kiyono-san, there's a reason why we two became friends - we're both annoying."

"Who is your friend? I haven't forgiven you for what happened that night." After saying that, Qingye Rin walked towards the club members.

She clapped her hands together tightly, and all the members looked at her.

Wearing a suit and with disheveled hair, Qingye Rin looks elegant and quiet, but her unapproachable aura has not diminished in the slightest.

But everyone in the wind band looked at her with enthusiastic eyes.

"Kiyono-san, we did it!"

"Kanto Tournament!"

"Thank you!"

Before Kiyono Rin spoke, Watanabe Toru, who was standing next to her, said, "What is our goal?"

"National competition!" Ikki Aoi raised her hand excitedly and answered.

Others also looked expectant.

"Then what are you so happy about there? But it is indeed a happy thing for you. Your strength... um!"

Kiyono Rin elbowed Watanabe Toru in the side and used a fierce look to stop him from continuing.

“Are you the advisor, or am I the advisor?”

"……Who are you."

Kiyono Rin looked at the members who were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to beat up Watanabe Toru, and said:

"It's a happy thing to be able to enter the Kanto Tournament, but as Watanabe-san said, this is not our end. Everyone, please hold on a little longer and work hard to the end."

"Yes!"

"Well then, take a rest this afternoon and evening, and start practicing for the Kanto Tournament tomorrow."

"Yes!"

After receiving their certificates and trophies, everyone left the concert hall and took a group photo at the entrance of the venue.

After some refusals and arguments, the trophy was held by the wind band leader Komatsu Misaki, and the certificate was held by Asuka Mai, and the two sat on the floor in the front row;

Hanada Asako and Ikki Aoi each put their arms around one of Asuka Mai's shoulders;

For some reason, Tamamo Kamei leaned against Kiyono Rin and closed her scissor hands happily;

Behind Kiyono Rin, who kept saying, "Tamamo-san, could you please let go of my hand? It's crowded and hot," was the lonely true beautiful boy, Watanabe Toru.

Before getting on the bus, Kiyono Rin sent the electronic version of the photo to Watanabe Toru, who had long since left the brass band chat group.

It also comes with reviews.

"Pitiful"

"What do you know? The strong are always lonely! The fact that Chinese emperors throughout history were solitary is the highest proof of this!"

"Yes, that's why it was eliminated by the 'people rule' system."

"...You bastard! Do you think you know more about Chinese history than I do? I was Chinese in my previous life!"

"Oh, you're so annoying, I thought you must have been a crow in your previous life."

"What's wrong with crows? Haven't you heard of the story of crows repaying their parents?! Crows living in urban areas will even use vehicles to crush nuts! What filial and smart creatures!"

"That's why I say that you are a crow, Watanabe-san. You are filial and smart, but you are not liked by others."

After sending this message, Qingye Rin put her hand on her chin and had already thought about what to say next to Watanabe Toru.

Just wait for him to reply and send it immediately.

But one minute after her last message showed "read", she still hadn't received a reply.

Angry? Impossible.

Unable to wait for a reply, she had to put away her phone and looked around, but did not see Toru Watanabe.

Only when half of the instruments were moved did Toru Watanabe come running over from a distance.

"Sorry." As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves, picked up the instrument box on the ground and handed it to the male member in the truck.

"Where have you been?" The boy who was also responsible for handing over the musical instruments complained while wiping the sweat that kept flowing down.

"Something happened. Sorry, sorry, I'll buy you some soda later."

"Forgive you!"

Qing Ye Lin glanced at him and got on the bus first. With her physical strength, going to help would only cause trouble.

I listened to the performance of the Kamikawa Wind Orchestra on my phone for a while, and then girls got on the bus one after another.

"I just saw the judges talking to that Watanabe scum."

"Judges? Which judges?"

"Yamamoto Yukimasa."

"Isn't that the dean of the Department of Education at the National University of Music? What did you say?"

"It seemed like he was asking about his future aspirations. I didn't dare to get too close, so I didn't hear it clearly."

"Are you going to specially recruit the Watanabe scum?"

"I think it's possible. He may be a bad player, but his oboe..."

Qingye Rin put on her headphones again, rested her right elbow on the window, and rested her chin on her palm, looking at the trees on the roadside not far away. With her other hand, she tapped lightly to the rhythm on her newly changed school skirt.

After all the girls got on, the boys hurriedly ran onto the bus, each holding a bottle of soda.

Watanabe Toru sat down in the aisle seat, and the boy who originally wanted to sit closer to Tamamo Yomi sat by the window this time.

Toru Watanabe took a deep gulp of the soda, then rolled the cold bottle across his face, letting out a comfortable exhalation sound.

The highest temperature today is 34 degrees. Let alone moving musical instruments, you will sweat even if you do nothing outside.

"Watanabe-kun." Hayami Kaoru knelt on the seat and turned from the front seat to look at Watanabe Toru.

"Hmm?" Toru Watanabe was not in the mood to talk.

"Professor Yukimasa Yamamoto from the National University of Music wanted to talk to you?" This gossip had spread throughout the car, and Hayami Kaoru was also very curious.

On the other side of the aisle, Tamamo Haomei, who was sending a Line message on her phone, secretly pricked up her ears.

Not only her, but all the girls around her turned their attention to this side.

"Yeah," said Toru Watanabe, "He asked me if I wanted to go to the National Conservatory of Music."

"How did you answer?"

"I said I want to go to Tokyo University of the Arts." Toru Watanabe took another sip of soda.

When he raised his neck to drink water, the girl quietly watched his Adam's apple rolling above the collar of his sweat-soaked shirt.

Then, he swallowed his saliva.

"Watanabe-kun, are you going to a music college?"

"Ah."

Tamamo Yoshimi couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you write Tokyo University as your goal for further study on the 'Education and Career Guidance Questionnaire'?"

"Yes, that's right. But how did you know that?"

Tamamo Yoshimi snorted in dissatisfaction: "That's what Mr. Koizumi said when I was attending the summer tutoring class."

“Summer tuition?”

"What's wrong with summer tutoring? It's not all for poor students like me. There are also students with good grades who take the initiative to participate!"

"Don't worry! I'm just wondering if I should also attend the tutoring class." When Watanabe Toru heard her crying again, he was shocked and hurried to comfort her.

"So, Watanabe-kun is planning to give up the University of Tokyo?" asked Hayami Fumio.

"No, there isn't."

"Then why did you go to Tokyo University of the Arts? Are you planning to take the master's and doctoral exams?"

"I was kidding." Watanabe Toru acted as if nothing had happened.

"Eh?" Hayami Xun was surprised, "Where? Where did you lie to me?"

"Go to a music college."

"..."

"It's bad, it's the worst!" Tamamo said in a low voice.

"Scum!" the girl sitting next to her echoed.

"Disgusting!" came the voice of the girl in front.

Hayami Kaoru gave a wry smile, smiled apologetically at Watanabe Toru, and sat down.

By the time she fastened her seat belt, the bus started moving and slowly drove out of the parking space.

Watanabe Toru didn't care at all about their malicious intentions. He took another sip of soda and looked out the window.

There were two staff members setting up guide signs under the scorching sun.

Back to school, it was time to move the musical instruments.

When he thought about the upcoming Kanto competition, or even the national competition, where he would have to move musical instruments around in such hot weather, Toru Watanabe regretted not slacking off in the morning competition.

It doesn't matter, there's still time for the Kanto Tournament!

However, we have already moved twice, and it is not worth giving up the national competition just to move once less.

'"When you do something, either don't do it at all or stick to it until the end." As a lesson, write this sentence in your notebook. '

Although Kiyono Rin said they would take a break in the afternoon, many members still chose to stay and continue practicing.

They asked Qingye Rin for the audio of the competition, and while listening, they gave each other suggestions.

A lot of new notes were added to the music score.

"Hmm..." Komatsu Misaki stretched, "I still haven't come to my senses yet. We can actually enter the Kanto Tournament."

"This is all thanks to Kiyono-san." Tamamo Yoshimi said while looking at the music score.

"The consultant is indeed the most important, but we all work hard too." Hayami Kaoru said with a gentle smile.

"...Watanabe." Asu Mai spoke softly.

"Senior, what did you say?" asked Ikki Aoi.

"…Watanabe, it's very important."

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

Just now, the soft and beautiful sound of the oboe in the CD will never be forgotten.

"Watanabe's oboe is very good, but Mai's euphonium, Zaojian's bassoon, and everyone else are not weak either!" Hanada Asako encouraged with her fists clenched.

"That's right! Wind instrumental music is a team competition! We can enter the Kanto competition, which shows that we are also very strong!" Ikki Aoi said loudly, and then changed the subject, "Senior Mai, the summer festival is coming soon, are you going?"

"……Um."

"With whom?" Ikki Aoi asked immediately.
