Kujo Miki grabbed his tie and aimed at the pine tree where Kiyono Rin was reading a book.

Although the atmosphere around her was noisy and the environment was bustling, her beautiful little face looked so focused.

Toru Watanabe even felt that the air around her must be clearer than anywhere else.

Out of the habit of "trying hard to learn from excellent people, and surpassing Kiyono Rin sooner or later", Watanabe Toru glanced at the title of the book.

“Sunny Day Clogs” by Nagai Kafu.

Hearing the footsteps of two people approaching, Qingye Rin raised his head from the book.

The bonfire in the distance couldn't wait to kiss her, staining her delicate face with a layer of illusory color like the afterglow of the sunset.

"Are you here to show off?" There was a sense of awe in Qingye Rin's voice that penetrated people's hearts.

"You just said that you don't allow me to attack Watanabe and his family. Then I'm telling you, if you dare to attack Watanabe, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Have you ever been polite to me since you were five years old?" Qingye Rin didn't care.

"I didn't expect a good girl like you would do something like attacking someone else's boyfriend." Kujo Miki said sarcastically.

"Haven't you always known about the research project 'Make Watanabe Toru fall in love with Kiyono Rin'? Why are you getting anxious now?"

After Qing Ye Lin finished speaking, he added:

"You cater to the world's views, erase your own personality, give up your own goals, and foolishly pretend to be gentle to please others. Among the three people present, only Watanabe-san, who is full of lies, is it? Kujo Miki-san, you don't seem to have the right to criticize me."

"Wait a minute." Watanabe Toru interrupted, "Are you planning to isolate the club? Exclude me?"

Qingye Rin: "Shut up."

Kujo Miki: "Shut up."

"sorry."

Watanabe Toru's tactic to ease the atmosphere failed.

Miki Kujo shifted her gaze away from Toru Watanabe and looked coldly at Rin Kiyono.

"Then come on," she said with a sinister smile, "Let's see who has the last laugh."

"It's not just about turning Watanabe-san into an ape-man. I will be the winner in terms of academic performance, art, and future career achievements." Kiyono Rin declared confidently.

For someone like her, even her black hair glows.

"It's good to be confident." Kujo Miki said without hesitation, "But I advise you not to be too proud. If you lose because of pride, don't say it's luck."

"Thanks for the reminder. I'll say it again: you'd better be humble."

As far as Toru Watanabe is concerned, both of them should be more humble - I have never met anyone more narcissistic than them.

He is literally the sole conscience of the Human Observation Department.

The two young ladies stopped threatening and the three of them walked back to the camp together.

"Isn't it 'school rules that everyone must attend'?"

"Yeah, but there's no school rule that says everyone has to stay until the end."

"You say you're being completely honest, but you're actually picking conditions that are in your favor, right?"

"Kujo-san, you can look at me however you want, but you, you've done too many bad things. You should be careful when walking on the streets at night. It's not always the case that you happen to be in Ochanomizu and then run into Watanabe-san drinking coffee in a cafe."

The quarrel started again.

Watanabe Toru stepped back and let the two of them walk together.

"Do you think I will suffer in the same place? As for Watanabe who is drinking coffee in the coffee shop, he will be by my side for the next few decades. There is no need for you, Kiyono-san..."

As they were talking, someone dropped a piece of firewood on the ground while carrying it.

At night, on the snowy ground, Kujo Miki, who was busy refuting Kiyono Rin, stepped on a roughly round piece of firewood and fell down.

She reacted quickly and used her hands to support herself on the snow without getting her clothes dirty.

"Ah, ha, I told you to be careful on the road at night." Kiyono Rin said with a happy smile in her voice.

Miki Kujo, who was propped up on the ground, had a face even gloomier than the night in the woods.

"Miji, are you okay?" Toru Watanabe hurried over.

Just now, if he was with Kujo Miki, he could hold her back no matter what happened.

But because of the quarrel between her and Kiyono Rin, Watanabe Toru deliberately fell behind, which led to this situation.

Before he could stretch out his hand, Miki Kujo suddenly stretched out her long legs in black stockings, aimed at Rin Kiyono's feet in stockings, and hooked them flexibly.

"Ah!" a soft cry.

In panic, Qingye Rin barely managed to support her body with her hands.

"What are you doing?" She asked with a cold face and a flat tone.

"You cater to the world's opinions, erase your own personality, give up your own goals, and foolishly pretend to be gentle to please others. Among the three people present, only Watanabe-san, who is full of lies, is it? Kiyono Rin-san, you don't seem to have the right to criticize me."

Seeing Kiyono Rin's even colder face, Kujo Miki's mood naturally became cheerful.

If she really wore a lotus leaf skirt and there was no one around her, she would definitely grab the hem of her skirt and spin around.

"I really feel sorry for you," Qing Ye Lin sneered, "Not only do you not dare to admit your failure, but you even have to use other people's excuses."

"I only do things that make me happy, Kiyono-san, it's not the first day you've known me."

Toru Watanabe was really caught off guard. He didn't expect Kujo Miki to do such a thing.

Looking at the two people lying in the snow and arguing, he stretched out his hands helplessly and grabbed their arms.

While pulling them up, he said:

"You two should stop talking so much. What's the point? Didn't we say we should compare grades and art?"

Just then, the sound of fireworks exploding was suddenly heard.

With the sound of "boom" and "boom" like a string of cannonballs, clusters of fireworks with tails rushed into the night sky.

When it reached a certain height, it suddenly exploded.

The dark sky is colorful and brilliant.

There were loud cheers coming from the square in the distance.

Beside the campfire, the boy and the girl held hands.

In invisible corners, there are people who don’t want others to know, who mind other people’s eyes, and who hold hands secretly.

"How long are you going to hold my hand?" As if the Ice Age was about to replay, the cold air that wanted to freeze everything poured out of Kujo Miki's mouth.

"No!" Watanabe Toru quickly let go, "I just want to help you two up!"

"You're helping Kiyono Rin?" Miki Kujo grabbed Watanabe Toru's tie, staring into his eyes with their faces almost touching.

"Well, Meiji, it was you who tripped her. As your boyfriend, I want to apologize, so..."

"That's enough!" Kujo Miki said word by word, "Do you think I will believe this nonsense?"

"The fireworks just went off by themselves. It has nothing to do with me. I am so wronged! Also, Meiji, don't you care about the bond legend?"

"I don't care, but that's not a reason for you to hold her hand." The murderous look between Kujo Miki's brows became more and more intense.

"I'm innocent, the fireworks hurt me!"

"Hmph!" Kujo Miki pushed Watanabe Toru away, "I'll deal with you tonight."

She turned her head and said to Qingye Rin who was watching the fun with her arms folded:

"Aren't we going to compete in art? I have a piano room in my room. Watanabe, you be the judge."

Qing Ye Lin put her hand on her chin, thought for a moment, and said, "With Watanabe-san's ability and status, he is indeed qualified to be our referee."

But Toru Watanabe didn't want to be a referee.

He just wanted to go back to sleep quickly, wake up, take the bus to leave this nightmarish winter camping, return to Kamikawa where he had been away for three days, and continue his daily life as an ordinary high school boy.

"I think it's better not to," he said. "It's late today."

"It's only nine o'clock, why are you late?" Kujo Miki rejected his opinion mercilessly.

She took the lead and walked towards the campsite, with a majestic demeanor and her hair dancing in the night breeze. Under the illumination of the fireworks above her head, she looked like the queen of the night.

After walking a few steps, the Queen of the Night stopped again and looked back at Toru Watanabe.

"What are you doing lagging behind? Do you want to see me fall again? Stand next to me!" she ordered.

"Yes, yes, yes." Watanabe Toru walked forward.

"That's perfect." Qing Ye Lin walked on the other side of Watanabe Toru, "This way I can rest assured about Kujo-san. Watanabe-san, you will definitely not let her hurt me again, right?"

"Um..." Watanabe Toru was caught in the middle, "Can I go to the back?"

"No." They said in unison.

So why did these two suddenly become so compatible when it came to him? !

The detached villa where Miki Kujo lives is fully equipped with a piano room, kitchen, and gym.

There is a grand piano, a guitar, a violin, and a harmonica in the music room.

Generally speaking, most people who learn to play musical instruments have practiced the piano and learned the basic knowledge of music through the piano.

If you plan to apply to a music university in the future, in addition to your major instrument, your secondary instrument will be the piano, so even if I don't become an expert at it, I will still be able to play it.

Except Toru Watanabe.

He knew nothing about piano, and his only experience in learning musical instruments was recorder in elementary school and oboe some time ago.

However, considering his musical level, he could make irresponsible remarks on any high-end piano performance, but there is no need to do so.

He has no habit of seeking superiority from others.

Today, I know a little more than yesterday. It doesn’t have to be much, even just one word or one more page of a book - this is his goal.

"What are you playing?" asked Qingye Rin.

"Art varies from person to person, so let's just compete in basic sight-reading." Miki Kujo sat down in front of the piano.

She had a straight back, a slender waist, long legs, and long, gorgeous black hair.

"There's no need to play Mozart, Beethoven or the like. Find a modern piece of music." Miki Kujo lifted the piano cover and pressed the black key at the edge.

The piano responded with an extra-high note.

Resting on the black keys, Kujo Meiji's fingers appear even whiter, more slender and longer.

"Then just pick a song at random." Qing Ye Lin looked at Watanabe Toru, "Watanabe-san, you are responsible for choosing the song."

"Wait a minute, what is sight-reading?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"Play by looking at the music score." Miki Kujo explained casually.

"Isn't this too simple?"

"The score must be read for the first time," added Kiyono Rin.

"Oh, that's quite difficult."

Qing Ye Lin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and find the song."

"It has to be the first time." Watanabe Toru thought for a moment, "Then let's play Jay Chou's "Nocturne"."

"I've heard it. Let me sing another one." said Qingye Rin.

“Do you know Jay Chou?”

“Not familiar with it, but I’ve heard of Nocturne.”

"What about 'Sea of ​​Flowers'?"

"I don't have a name, but I don't know if you've heard the melody by chance. Sing it once."

"Understood." Watanabe Toru snapped his fingers, "Da da da da, um um um, um um um um ..."

The two young ladies looked at him strangely.

Kujo Miki couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Your singing is so bad that it's despairing."

Qingye Rin nodded in agreement.

"...No need to say more, I know the song is terrible!" Watanabe Toru made a gesture to stop, "'Sea of ​​Flowers', okay?"
