My girlfriend is a bad lady

Of course, this answer made the first-year students dissatisfied, so they asked Hayami Kaoru to ask again.

The second grade is not full, it's still early for the wind instrument competition, and the new first grade hasn't even arrived yet. Is it necessary to work so hard? Besides, it's not like they don't train.

The first-year students insisted on high-intensity training every day, believing that without the brilliant guidance of Kiyono Rin and the unrivaled solo of Watanabe Toru, the current strength of the wind orchestra would make it impossible to win the national gold medal.

Both sides have a point.

Hayami Kaoru really had no choice but to come to see Kiyono Rin every day.

At the same time, she also regarded the daily bickering between Kiyono Rin and Watanabe Toru as a way to relieve stress - she secretly said this to Watanabe Toru one day later.

"Do you have any solution?" Hayami Xun asked after introducing the situation.

"I'm curious about one thing." Qing Ye Lin stroked his chin with his hand, "Why are the second-year students unwilling to adopt the method of last year?"

Zaojian looked hesitant.

"Senior, this is a very crucial issue." Qingye Rin looked at her, feeling an inexplicable sense of pressure.

"Okay." Hayami Xun sighed and said with a wry smile, "The relationship between the second-year girls is not very good. If one of them reviews more, the other one will... In short, everyone is secretly reviewing desperately, trying to outdo each other."

"..." Qing Ye Lin was surprised, and then sighed, "It's so boring."

"There are indeed people who have this kind of thoughts." Watanabe Toru could understand it very well.

"Then..." Hayami Xun looked at the two of them with expectant eyes.

"Hello, senior." said Watanabe Toru.

"Yeah! I'm listening!"

"Retreat."

"...Huh?" Hayami Xun stood there in a daze.

Qingye Rin rolled her eyes at Watanabe Toru and said, "That's just the final solution."

"Solved? Wait a minute, I..." Hayami Xun reached out to the two of them.

"Hayami-senpai," Kiyono Rin looked over, "I suggest that the goal of the wind band be changed from winning the national gold medal to entering the national competition."

"..."

"I see." Watanabe Toru applauded, "This way we can achieve balance."

"No way!" Even though Hayami Xun had such a good temper, he was bullied by the two of them and lost his composure.

Chapter 222: Restless Valentine's Day: What do you think of (1)

Neither retreating nor lowering the target is an option, so we have to think of a serious solution.

The Human Observation Department fell into a thoughtful silence.

"Hello, senior." Qingye Rin spoke first.

"Has Kiyono-san come up with a solution?" Hayami Kaoru looked over expectantly.

"I can tell you my experience in managing a wind orchestra. How about you try to follow my example?"

"Hmm..." Hayami Kaoru thought for a moment, "I'm afraid that's not going to work."

"reason?"

"I don't have the musical prowess that you, Kiyono-san, have, and I'm not even necessarily the best in the second grade, so it's hard for me to get everyone to obey me."

"What about the minister's authority?" Watanabe Toru asked curiously, "Shouldn't it be like the Human Observation Department, where the minister has the most power?"

"Are you dissatisfied with something, Toru Watanabe?"

"No." After dealing with his own minister, Watanabe Toru said to Hayami Kaoru, "That's about it. Did you see it?"

Qingye Rin was even more dissatisfied, but she really had no way to refute what happened just now.

Hayami Xun couldn't help laughing twice, and then said helplessly:

"Before, maybe it was possible, but after Kiyono-san, the brass band has become a place where strength is everything."

"The main reason is that you are not strong enough as the director." Regardless of how hurtful this truth was, Qingye Rin pondered to himself and continued to think of a solution for Hayami Fumio.

"Sorry." Toru Watanabe apologized to Hayami Kaoru on her behalf.

"It doesn't matter. What Kiyono-san said is absolutely right." Hayami Kaoru has seen Kiyono Rin's 'venomous tongue' before. "Besides, even if I am strong enough, my character is too weak. I can't force everyone to obey."

"Being gentle isn't a bad thing," Toru Watanabe comforted.

He thought about it and said, "I have an idea."

Qingye Rin raised his head: "Tell me about it."

"The first thing we can agree on is, if we adopt Kiyono-san's style, can we change the current situation of the wind band?"

"Yeah." Hayami Xun nodded.

"Then why don't we just find someone who can replace Kiyono-san?"

"Watanabe-san," Rin Kiyono crossed her arms and stretched out her beautiful swan neck, "No one can replace me. I am the most special, above all else."

"..."

Using others' praise for her to praise herself?

How can there be such a narcissistic person?

Hopeless.

"I also think that no one can replace Kiyono-san." Hayami Kaoru nodded in agreement.

"Do you want to join the church?" Watanabe Toru couldn't help but ask.

"Join the religion?" Hayami Xun looked at him puzzledly.

"Nothing." Watanabe Toru skipped over this private topic, "Of course no one in this world can replace Kiyono-san. I know this best."

"What does Watanabe-kun mean?"

"We can create an artificial intelligence and input Kiyono-san's will into it..."

Kiyono Rin looked over with a warning look.

"Hmm." Watanabe Toru cleared his throat. "What I mean is that the wind band can set its own rules."

"Company rules?" Hayami Kaoru asked subconsciously.

"It is indeed a feasible solution." Qingye Rin nodded in agreement.

"Hmm?" Hayami Xun looked at her again.

"Hayami-san, you don't have enough strength and your personality is too gentle, so we will formulate strict rules and everything in the wind orchestra must be carried out according to the rules." Kiyono Rin explained.

"So that's how it is!" Hayami Xun clasped his hands together lightly and said excitedly, "I've always been thinking about how to ease the relationship between the first and second years, but I didn't expect to solve the problem fundamentally."

"Before we make the rules, there is one last question left: should we favor first-year students or second-year students?" said Toru Watanabe.

He and Kiyono Rin looked at Hayami Kaoru.

Any suggestions may be made, but whether or not they are ultimately adopted, and to what extent they are adopted, is the orchestra's own business.

Faced with this problem, Hayami Xun's gentle personality - to put it bluntly, she's a good person - made her hesitate again.

"Senior," Watanabe Toru tapped the table lightly, "Your goal is the national gold medal."

"I know, but..." Hayami Kaoru grabbed the hem of her pleated skirt.

"Are you worried that the rules are too harsh and you'll be expelled from the club in your second year?" asked Kiyono Rin.

Hayami Xun didn't say anything, but nodded.

"These people are so confident that they think they can win the national gold medal if they just work hard next year?" Qing Ye Lin laughed contemptuously, "Being good at studying is one thing, but they actually think they have extraordinary talent in music."

Watanabe Toru noticed that Hayami Kaoru's face turned slightly red.

It seems that this senior student also has the same idea.

"But I can understand it." Qing Ye Lin's tone returned to calm, "People with excellent grades tend to be blindly confident in areas they have never been exposed to. I have long observed this from that man."

Watanabe Toru pointed at himself in confusion.

Qingye Rin nodded, confirming his doubts.

After dealing with Watanabe Toru, she continued:

"Senior Hayami, you are the head of the wind band, so it is up to you to decide what to do. All I can do is tell you my thoughts."

"Well, thank you. Please go ahead."

"Last year, even I was able to lead you to win the national gold medal only with the help of Watanabe-san. If it weren't for Watanabe-san, even if a miracle happened, with the level of the Kamikawa Wind Orchestra, we would have only won silver at best."

After saying that, Qingye Rin stopped talking and gave Hayami Fumio some time to think.

Hayami Kaoru didn't hesitate.

Unbuttoning her wrinkled pleated skirt, she looked at the two of them and said in a very transparent voice:

“The goal of the wind section is national gold.”

Qing Ye Lin smiled and said, "Well, let's start discussing the rules."

It was Kiyono Rin and Hayami Kaoru's job to make the rules, while Watanabe Toru continued reading his book.

The beginning of spring is the day after tomorrow, and the chill brought by the north wind outside the window has not diminished at all.

Perhaps it was the contrast between the 'howling of the cold wind outside' and the 'humming of the heater indoors', but when he heard Kiyono Rin's voice at a lowered volume, Watanabe Toru felt his body warm.

The two ended their discussion when the club activity time was over.

Watanabe Toru took the paper covered with handwriting:

"1. All members (including Department B) must attend training from Monday to Friday."

"2. Training on Saturdays and Sundays, starting from April, everyone (including Department B) must participate"

"3. Before the club activities end, you must greet the leader of your section."

"4. When younger students see older students, they must say hello and bow at a -degree angle."

"5. The small bucket used to hold the water in the instrument must be cleaned after use."

……

The series of "musts" seemed to have indeed been injected with a lot of "Kiyono Rin's will".

In addition to training, there are also many daily etiquettes.

This is incomprehensible to Toru Watanabe, but for the Japanese, it is normal.

He had no intention of raising any objections, as this was an island country after all.

Most importantly, it has nothing to do with him.

"After this system is implemented, Senior Hayami will probably be blamed." Qingye Rin put her hand on her chin and pondered.

"It's so rare that you actually care about others? Are you unexpectedly a gentle person? Have I misunderstood you before?" The only person who dared to say this was Toru Watanabe.

"So," Kiyono Rin said, "Hayami-senpai, you can just tell everyone that the idea of ​​making the rules was proposed by Watanabe-san."

"This..." Hayami Kaoru looked at Watanabe Toru.

"Why?" Watanabe Toru's voice was slightly above the north wind outside the window, expressing the emotion without being harsh. "I may not have the intention to shelter people from the wind and rain."

"Then talk about me. I'm the one who made most of the rules anyway." Qingye Rin said indifferently.

"…Forget it, just talk about me." Bei Feng's voice drowned out Watanabe Toru.

Qingye Rin remained expressionless and did not show any emotion at all.

She calmly said to Hayami Kaoru, "Then let's just talk about the two of us."

"Thank you very much!" Hayami Xun used honorifics to address his juniors, "Don't worry, I will say that I took the initiative to ask you two for help!"

"You're welcome. I will do this. I just think that even if there are rules, they won't follow them if they are just 'rules set by Hayami-senpai'."

"That's right." Hayami Xun had to admit it and nodded.

Is Kiyono Rin gentle or not?

When Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono walked out of the school building, it was already past the normal school dismissal time.
