My girlfriend is a bad lady

"No."

"My grandma, no, my mom once told me: A girl's nothing is something."

Qing Ye Lin put down his arms, turned to the band members and said, "Everyone, pack up and go to the rehearsal room."

"Yes!"

"Wait, wait, I was just joking. Don't tell me you haven't seen Kamen Rider Kabuto?"

"No."

"It's over, it's over, we can't be friends anymore."

"Really."

"Of course... not. Normally, I would never be friends with someone who doesn't like Kamen coming to fight, but you are beautiful and honest, so I can turn a blind eye."

"Isn't it because of the nice legs?"

Watanabe Toru glanced around and whispered, "There are so many people here, don't say such things."

"So you really want to be friends with me just because I have pretty legs. I'm so disappointed."

"I told you I'm just studying legs. Studying doesn't mean liking them, understand?"

"Then just tell me, do you like legs?"

"I feel the competition is more important now, what do you think?" Watanabe Toru said worriedly.

Qingye Lin sneered.

When they arrived at the rehearsal room, everyone tuned the instruments more carefully than usual and began their final practice.

Still only training the beginning part.

I used to dislike boring repetition, but now I can’t wait to keep practicing, just like Tamamo Yomi who walked into the examination room before the final exam with a vocabulary book in her hand and looked at it.

The practice time is over and the only thing left for the competition is to go on stage.

In the rehearsal room, the nervous heartbeats can be heard clearly.

Kiyono Rin said to Komatsu Misaki, "Minister Komatsu, please say a few words to everyone."

"Me?" Komatsu Misaki pointed at herself.

Since Kiyono Rin became a consultant, she, as the club director, only played the role of supervising training and was not in charge of the club's expenses.

But she didn't care who had the say, as long as the band could move towards a good direction, anything was fine.

"Yes." Qing Ye Lin nodded, "Although I believe that everyone's ability can enter the national competition, everything has unexpected events. This may really be the last game. As the president and a third-year student who is about to retire, it is better for you to finish it off."

"If possible, I'd like to save the finishing touches until before the national competition." Komatsu Misaki said jokingly, making everyone laugh.

Komatsu Misaki took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, until mid-June, even winning the gold medal in the Tokyo Tournament was unbelievable for us, and the Kanto Tournament was an unattainable dream."

She faced the crowd.

"We are famous for our college admission rate in Shenchuan. Everyone will go to first-class universities in the future. We regard the national competition as our goal and work hard for it. I don't know what you think, but I don't want to lose to those schools whose deviation values ​​are not as high as ours."

Misaki Komatsu's eyes sparkled with a strong and stubborn light, the stubbornness of an excellent student.

"It doesn't matter if we didn't try hard, but since we are serious about it, we can't lose to anyone!" It was Tamamo Yomi who spoke.

"Yes! That's right!"

"Kamikawa is number one!"

"Kamikawa! Come on!"

"come on!"

The shouts of the Kamikawa Wind Band members echoed in the rehearsal room.

What kind of person you think you are is really important.

If the person who ranks first in the grade ranks tenth in the exam, he will fall into pain and self-blame; if the person who ranks second to last in the grade ranks last, he will even be complacent, show off everywhere, and use it as a topic of conversation.

Toru Watanabe insisted that he would and must become a great person in the future.

Being third in the grade was a hurdle he had to overcome, and being first in the country was where he should be; whether it was sports or anything else, it didn't matter if he didn't work hard, as long as he wanted to, he had to do better than anyone else.

This is what he requires of himself.

Toru Watanabe looked at the dark oboe in his hand, his heart beat slowly and violently, and he became excited.

Originally, the national competition was insignificant to him, but now he decided that he must win the gold medal, otherwise how could he be worthy of the adjective "amazing"!

A female staff member pushed the door open and came in: "Students from Shenchuan High School, it's your turn."

"Come on." Hayami Kaoru, who was sitting next to Watanabe Toru and holding a bassoon, whispered.

"I can't wait." Watanabe Toru replied with a smile.

Hayami Xun was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently: "I look forward to Watanabe-kun's solo."

In addition to them, everyone else also encouraged each other and shouted "Come on", regardless of whether their relationship was good or bad.

Holding their music stands, the members of Kamikawa High School walked towards the stage together.

"Next, number 22, the Tokyo representative, a student from Kamikawa High School's wind orchestra will perform for everyone."

"The designated song is "March for Endless Dreams", and the free song is "Prosperous Four Seasons" composed by Kawa Hideaki, and conducted by Kiyono Rin."

After the announcement, Toru Watanabe had already sat down in his seat, opened the music score, placed his fingers on the keys of the oboe, and looked at Kiyono Rin standing in front of him.

The lights suddenly dimmed and the stage became brighter, as if it was under a large spotlight.

The sound of swallowing saliva came from all directions, and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.

With an expressionless face, Kiyono Rin looked at each person's face in turn, finally stopping at Watanabe Toru.

'Nervous?'

"Didn't I tell you that being nervous can help you perform better than before?"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to your performance."

'Your satisfaction is guaranteed.'

Qingye Rin retracted her gaze, raised her arm, and everyone immediately picked up their instruments.

The front end of the baton sank slightly, and the sound of everyone's inhalation passed through the mouthpieces of the instruments, creating a huge resonance.

As the baton was waved down and the main melody of "March to Endless Dreams" sounded, the tension disappeared without a trace.

The bass notes from the euphonium and double bass made the ground vibrate;

The brass instruments are advancing bravely, the woodwind instruments are delicate and melodious, and in the competition between the two, the flute and clarinet move freely between them;

Then, the euphonium's soft secondary melody smoothly blends into the underlying music.

The performance was full of energy, rushing towards the finish line in one breath, getting faster and faster, more and more intense.

Slowly, everything fell silent.

But the moment the baton in Kiyono Rin's hand suddenly stopped, the performance reached its climax - the oboe took over.

Kiyono Rin once again set his sights on Watanabe Toru.

Toru Watanabe held the reed he made himself in his mouth and slid his slender fingers gently across the keys.

The sweet and melancholy, gripping tone filled the entire concert hall.

At that moment, everyone present stood still, their brains severely shocked.

In the concert hall dyed golden by the lights, there was nothing but silence, and the only sounds left were the notes with a hint of sad melody woven together by Toru Watanabe and his oboe.

It was as if a huge, colorful bubble enveloped the stage.

One of the judges in the judging panel couldn't help but bend forward without even noticing.

Everyone in the Kamikawa High School brass band looked very proud.

The sound of the oboe is even more beautiful than last time.

This is the strength of our Shenchuan High School solo!

……

When the sweaty Kiyono Rin turned around and bowed, the audience, who had been silent for a long time, was suddenly awakened and burst into applause that resounded through the sky.

The faces of everyone in the wind band showed a mixture of joy and confusion, and they had not yet recovered from their previous state.

After leaving the stage, Qing Ye Lin said to everyone: "You can move freely before the results are announced, but everyone must gather in the concert hall when the results are announced."

"Yes!"

The group had just disbanded and Toru Watanabe hadn't seen Ayako Homma yet, so he wanted to see Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke who arrived at the venue later.

The two of them came towards me with excited expressions.

"You are amazing! Watanabe!"

"The performance was excellent! If a performance of this level doesn't win the gold medal, there must be something fishy going on!"

"Of course." Watanabe Toru said with a smile, "Kunii even made it to Koshien, I can't be unable to even enter the national competition, right?"

"Hey, do you have any conscience? I haven't recovered from my failure yet!" Kunijima Osamu wailed.

The Kamikawa Baseball Club was eliminated in the first round of Koshien and only brought back a handful of dirt from the field - the custom of losers.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a soda." Watanabe Toru patted his shoulder.

"That's pretty much it!"

"Would you like me to reimburse you for the transportation here?" Saito Keisuke continued to push forward.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Chapter 111 The Wind Music Competition Ends (2)

Watanabe Toru and his friends disappeared, and the others also went their separate ways, going to the toilet, resting, taking photos, buying souvenirs such as strong school records, etc.

Tamamo Yoshimi walked up to Kiyono Rin with the program list and said, "Kiyono-san, what are you going to do next?"

"Go listen to the performance of number twenty-three."

"Great, I'm planning to go too, can we go together?"

"Of course." Qingye Rin nodded.

There were quite a few people who went to watch the performance, and there were so many spectators that the front seats were already full, and the two of them barely found seats in the back row.

As soon as I sat down, the game on the 23rd started.

"Next, number 23, the representative from Saitama Prefecture, from the Kasukabe Kyoei High School Wind Orchestra, will perform for everyone."

"The designated song is the fifth piece, and the optional song is..."

Tamamo Yoshimi whispered to Kiyono Rin, "This school seems to have won the national gold medal."

"Yes, in 10, but that was only one time. Our real rival is the Tokai University Affiliated High School. They have won five times and are a truly powerful school."

"5 times?" Tamamo was so beautiful that it was unbelievable.

"This is Kanto. Yodogawa Technical High School in Osaka Prefecture in Kansai has won the national gold medal for nine consecutive years."

"Nine years?" Tamamo Yoshimi could hardly imagine what that meant, but she quickly said firmly, "If Kiyono-san graduates and becomes a consulting teacher, we can do that, too!"

"Thank you." Qing Ye Lin nodded. "Although the consultant is important, the determination of the performer to win the national gold medal is equally important. I have the ability to win the gold medal for nine consecutive years, but I can't guarantee that I will have enough luck to meet motivated performers for nine consecutive years."

Listening to Kiyono Rin's analysis which was not at all modest, Tamamo Haomi looked at that perfect profile and felt that her eyebrows, without any signs of trimming, were neat and beautiful.

"here we go."

"Ah? Hmm!" Tamamo Haomi came back to her senses and looked towards the stage, suddenly feeling a little hot.

On the stage, the timbres of the brass instruments overlapped and intertwined to create a gorgeous main melody, and the other instruments were no less impressive.

The most eye-catching thing was the girl playing the clarinet. She moved her fingers at an incredible speed and pressed each key accurately.

Even someone who knows nothing about music can understand how difficult this fingering is.

"So strong." Tamamo whispered beautifully.

"It is very strong, but..."
