My girlfriend is a bad lady

Have backbone? Would rather die than accept?

Kujo Miki's words, "If you don't spend my money, you don't love me. If you don't love me, you can just die." That can really kill people!

"One million yen...just barely." Kiyono Rin walked towards the glass cabinet where the oboe was displayed, muttering to herself.

"Marigos is famous for its tone, but it is easy to crack; Monica is well made, and the tone is not worse than Marigos; Joseph is well made, the tone is relatively weaker, but it is not easy to crack..."

The other four followed her as if they were listening to a tour guide introducing the history of the scenic spot.

Watanabe Toru suddenly saw a familiar name: "Yamaha?"

"YOB-241 oboe," Kiyono Rin looked over, "It's made of traditional rare wood and advanced resin processing technology, with a resin layer..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Watanabe Toru interrupted her quickly, "I just wonder why Yamaha produces everything."

Qingye Rin glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, please continue." Toru Watanabe immediately lowered his posture.

Qingye Rin didn't care and pointed to a black oboe in the cabinet: "Choose this one, Monica."

Toru Watanabe looked at the price, 1.2 million yen, which was considered a relatively high price for oboes in this store.

"Then buy this one." Watanabe Toru called out to the clerk.

"Eh - is it decided?!" Hanada Asako and Ikki Aoi widened their eyes, "That's 1.2 million yen!"

"It doesn't matter. It's Miki's money anyway," said Toru Watanabe.

The two looked at him with strange eyes.

Qingye Rin looked calm and said to Watanabe Toru, "The oboe is a very difficult instrument and requires systematic learning. There are many things to learn, such as mouth shape, breathing, finger movement, the use and protection of the reed, and the maintenance of the instrument itself. Of course, I believe in your perseverance."

"Of course." Watanabe Tetsuya felt that he had good perseverance. "By the way, since it is so difficult, is it difficult to play the "Three Romances" in half a month?"

The faces of everyone present, including the shop assistant, darkened.

At this moment, Watanabe Toru suddenly realized: It's over!

Judging from their reactions, it is simply impossible to learn the oboe in just half a month!

"Well," Hanada Asako said, "I heard from Hayami from the wind orchestra that many people have studied for two years, but the sound they make is still like a duck."

"Quacking like a duck?" Watanabe Toru confirmed doubtfully.

Ichikada Asako blushed instantly when he looked at her: "That's what Hayami-san said. She is the principal of the oboe and bassoon parts."

"Half a month is really not enough?"

Silence, no one answered.

Watanabe Toru looked at Kiyono Rin, hoping that she could give him some hope, but he saw her cold eyes that said 'don't even think about it'.

When the situation was awkward, Asu Mai said calmly, "The tone of the oboe is very difficult to control, but there are people who have a mellow tone in half a year. Come on."

Her meaning was very clear, everything is possible, but it still depends on talent.

But half a year is used as an example of talent, what about half a month?

Perhaps he is the only one willing to spend 10 points to exchange for a little intelligence and become a peerless genius in musical instruments.

By the way, he also has a "5% off intelligence exchange coupon" that he is reluctant to use, which only costs points.

But what's the use!

A genius at playing musical instruments? Facing the Kujo family, even studying medicine can't save him!

"Thank you, senior. I will try my best." said Toru Watanabe.

Asu Mai nodded calmly.

Hanada Asako and Ikki Aoi looked surprised and incredulous from the moment Asuka Mai comforted Watanabe Toru.

Qing Ye Lin sighed helplessly: "Now that we have bought it, let's go and talk about business."

Watanabe Toru looked at her: "Business?"

"Accompanying you to buy musical instruments is just a coincidence. Please don't be so narcissistic as to think that four people are here to accompany you to buy musical instruments." Qingye Rin took the lead and walked towards the elevator.

The five of them went to the nearest cafe.

After sitting down by the window, the girls ordered the new matcha sundae advertised at the door, and Watanabe Toru ordered a cup of coffee.

Soon, the waitress brought the meal.

The matcha sundae is not large in portion, but it has distinct layers, and is topped with white jade rice balls, fresh cream and red beans, which looks very nice.

“It looks delicious!”

“Senior, wait a moment! Please let me take a picture first! Click, click, yes, let’s take a group photo!”

"Yi Mu, we are not here to play, we have something important to do..."

"Oh, it's just a photo, what's the big deal, come on~"

Toru Watanabe added sugar to his coffee while looking at the photos of the four people taken from various angles.

The last time he drank coffee was that night in Ochanomizu, after which he embarked on the arduous revolutionary road against capitalism.

After the four of them finished taking pictures and took a few bites of sundae, Qingye Rin cleared his throat and started talking about business.

"Watanabe-san."

"Ah."

"I have a suggestion on how to resolve the crisis of abolishing the ministry."

"Ok?"

"I decided to become the temporary coach of the wind band and help them enter the Kanto competition," said Rin Kiyono.

The other three looked calm, and it seemed that they had already discussed this matter.

Watanabe Toru thought for a moment and said, "The Kanto Tournament is indeed an official event. If we really let them in, the Student Union should recognize us. But, are you sure?"

That was the brass band of Kamikawa High School that was so bad that it woke up Miki Kujo, not the brass band of Futaba Junior High School.

"Of course." Qing Ye Lin nodded, "As long as I become a coach with absolute say, these will not be a problem."

"With Kiyono-san's ability, our bass section has already..."

With a sound of "Ding-Dang~", Hanada Asako, who was speaking, paused.

"Watanabe-san, please help me pick up the spoon."

Watanabe Toru looked at Asu Mai who was calm and unperturbed and blinked: "Okay..."

But before he could bend down, Ichiki Aoi had already picked up the spoon: "Senior, I'll ask the waiter to get you a new one~"

"Thank you."

"Hey~~Waiter, please bring me a spoon~"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Aoi Ikki, with a happy look on her face, noticed Toru Watanabe's gaze and secretly made a victory V sign to him.

"Ichiki-san, if you keep doing this, Asuri-senpai will hate you! Really, please stop being so attentive!"

Everyone, Toru Watanabe definitely doesn't think this way just because he's not happy!

As a client, he is very professional.

After the waiter brought a new spoon, Qing Ye Lin said, "Watanabe-san, what do you think of this plan?"

Watanabe Toru took a sip of the sweet coffee and said, "If you have made up your mind, just go for it. I will support you unconditionally."

He doesn't have to do anything anyway, so of course he supports it.

"Thank you." Qing Ye Lin nodded. "When the time comes, we will start training seriously and may not be able to take care of miscellaneous tasks, so I hope that Watanabe can serve as the manager of the wind band at a critical moment."

"Okay," Watanabe Toru nodded reluctantly, "After all, I am also a member of the Human Observation Department."

"Well," Hanada Asako raised her hand timidly, "Kiyono-san, the only ones who want you to be a temporary coach right now are our bass section, and there are eight members of the wind section, and they..."

"They will agree."

"Has Kiyono-san figured out a way to convince them?"

"I'm the only one who can allow you guys to enter the Kanto Tournament this year." Qingye Rin smiled with confidence and told the truth which was too rude.

Chapter 77 The Unpleasant First Note

By Monday, the Human Observation Department began to deal with the crisis of abolishing the society.

Kiyono Rin found a way to get all the members of the wind band to join and became a temporary consultant.

Watanabe Toru's mission is to convince the student council to agree that if they help the wind band enter the Kanto competition, they will recognize the legitimacy of the Human Observation Club.

The student council in real high schools does not have as strong a presence as in the anime, and many people don’t even know who the president is.

Although Toru Watanabe is not an ordinary person, he also doesn't know where the student union room is, so he decides to go to the principal's office, which he has been to once.

"…That's about it. I hope the principal can give us a chance to earn privileges through hard work."

The old principal touched the back of his left hand with his right hand and said carefully: "Since the founding of our school, we have always advocated that students manage students. Watanabe, it would be more appropriate for you to discuss this matter with the student union."

"Okay, thank you, Principal." Watanabe Toru said regretfully, "I will convey your words to Kiyono-san and Miki, and we will find a way ourselves."

"Of course!" The old principal crossed his fingers, clenched his hands, and pursed his lips. "Kamikawa believes in strength above all else. As long as Kiyono can really get the wind band into the Kanto competition, I believe the student union will definitely recognize the significance of your club's existence."

"Thank you, Principal! I will tell them that too!"

"Well, keep going. Oh, and don't fall behind in your studies."

After coming out of the principal's office, Toru Watanabe went straight back to the classroom.

The next thing is between the student council and the principal. The Human Observation Department, no, it's Kiyono Rin, who has to do nothing but get the wind band into the Kanto competition.

As for him, Toru Watanabe, he can practice his oboe and massage techniques in peace until the Kanto competition ends in August.

Watanabe Toru was in a good mood and took out the reed of the oboe from his pocket and started to blow it randomly. The melody was "Jingle Bells".

After school, Toru Watanabe came to the Human Observation Department's activity room and heard a discussion inside at the door.

When he pushed open the sliding door, he found that the beech wood table that could seat eight people was actually occupied. Even his seat was occupied by Asuka Mai.

However, I don’t know whether it was because of Qingno Rin’s reminder or they were embarrassed, but no one sat on Kujo Miki’s sofa.

Seeing Toru Watanabe coming in, the orchestra said in unison: "Excuse me."

"It's okay." Toru Watanabe waved his hand, signaling them to continue.

While they were chatting about their own things, Toru Watanabe threw his schoolbag on the sofa, took out the oboe temporarily named "Black Recorder", assembled it, and put it aside solemnly.

Then, hold the reed in your mouth and blow while flipping through the "Basic Oboe Scale Techniques Exercises".

"…The problem lies with the third years. They insist…" As she spoke, Kiyono Rin glanced at Watanabe Toru.

"Bub, bub, bub, bub--" continues Jingle Bells.

She continued: "If they continue to insist, they can only..."

After memorizing the entire book, Toru Watanabe took out the voice corrector, adjusted the frequency to 440HZ, and then inserted the reed in his mouth into the instrument.

"Ga, ga, ga."

He paused and repositioned his fingers.

“……”No sound was made this time.

It’s okay, I’m just a beginner.

"..."

"Hmm." Watanabe Toru cleared his throat, adjusted the depth of the reed, and straightened his back.

"..."

This thing is really troublesome. Other musical instruments have enough lung capacity and can always produce a sound, but it does the opposite.

Because the air inlet of the oboe is small, only a little air can be blown in at a time, which is equivalent to a state of almost stopping breathing.

It's not a pleasant feeling to have carbon dioxide trapped in your lungs.

Beginners will definitely feel dizzy when playing long notes, and it is not uncommon for them to faint in severe cases.
