I'm a weird expert in Japan

Chapter 37 Chapter 2 It’s all Mr. Hanekawa’s mission ()

Pushing open the door of the second music room, Lian pulled out a chair.

"sit down."

“What are you doing…” Hesa ​​leaned against the door.

"I'll help you fill out this information first, and then take it to Mr. Hanekawa." Lian said lazily, "Do you want me to tell you how to fill it out?"

"Are you the monitor too?" Hesha stared at his face. "Are you annoying? Why are you so nosy?"

"It's just Mr. Hanekawa's assignment." Lian put the documents on the table.

Kazusa felt like her ears were about to get calloused. "It's Hanekawa teacher again..."

"And the reason I came to the classroom to find you today is because of the teacher." Lian looked at Kazusa who came over and sat down.

"Did I tell you to stop hanging out with me or something like that?"

Hesa, who has a bad history, is very aware of her actions.

"What are you thinking?" Lian was helpless. "You were transferred out of the music department?"

Hesha closed her hand on the document, and just as the document was about to get wrinkled, Lian hurriedly rescued it.

"Are you here to laugh at me too?"

"No, I'm just here to help you." Lian Qi gathered the information and said, "I'll help you get back to the music department."

"Huh?" Hesa ​​was dumbfounded.

That was the conclusion reached after much debate and compromise between the school's top management and teachers, and even Kazusa had heard of it.

She personally felt a certain vindictive pleasure from this.

——To his mother, Touma Yoko.

"There will be a large-scale music competition next month." Lian took out an invitation from the inner pocket of his uniform. "There will be events for various instruments, including piano."

"You want me to participate?"

"The school expelled you from the music department. You don't really think it was because of your poor performance?" Lian looked at Hesha's expression.

"How is that possible?" Hesa ​​couldn't help but shake her head.

Poor performance was just a direct excuse. The deeper reason was that she did not meet the school's expectations of herself.

"So if you participate in a competition and win, you have material to negotiate with the school."

"I'm not going. If you want to participate, go by yourself." Hesha refused.

“And defeat the other contestants just like they defeated you?” Lian asked with a smile.

"..."

"And I can't participate in this competition. The organizer asked me to be a guest judge." Lian said, "Performing at the award ceremony after the finals."

"Oh..." Kazusa responded in boredom.

Having known each other for more than half a year and having fought against each other so many times, she already knew who the Four Lians were and would not be surprised by this situation.

"Then according to the organizer, during the performance, the winning contestant will play with me."

"...I want to play with you..."

Hesha looked at Lian, wondering what he was thinking.

Apart from the piano competition, she did have a few ensembles - although without prior arrangement.

Compared to the piano, Lian's skill in playing the violin is truly superb. She can even feel that the other party is giving in to her sometimes.

"You want me to enter the competition, win, and then play with you?"

"Because I don't want to play with someone I don't know right away. After eliminating all options, you are the most suitable one." Lian explained ambiguously.

On the one hand, he was facing countless audiences, but on the other hand, he didn't like to perform in an ensemble.

The orchestra of the concerto is also a fixed team after a long period of running-in.

Lian was very resistant to the idea of ​​suddenly collaborating with a new champion on a classic piece like that.

Just like he rejects most strangers, or strange humans.

The essential difference and the fundamental disparity will create a certain gap in the heart.

If Touma and Sa knew his identity now, they would also be frightened and step back, instead of sitting together and talking calmly like they are now.

"What good will it do you to help me like this?"

"Didn't I tell you that Mr. Hanekawa asked me to help you?"

"Then what good will this do to Mr. Hanekawa?"

"Don't think of me as such a lowly person." Lian was very dissatisfied. "The teacher just simply likes to take care of people, especially people like you who don't fit in."

And there are impure humans like him.

"Really?" Hesa ​​couldn't understand.

"Teacher, there is a ridiculous misunderstanding that the most useless people are also the most pitiful. Because useless people are more likely to suffer losses."

"Are you saying I'm useless?"

"From the school's perspective, you are indeed useless." Lian looked straight at Kazusa, "You are a pianist who won the national championship when you first entered the school, but you have no performance in three years. Otherwise, why would they transfer you out of the music department?"

He Sha was immediately unable to refute.

From this perspective, she did suffer a loss.

It's not that she is really useless, but... it's not profitable for the school to cover up her bad behavior.

"You're a very capable guy. If you practice hard, you will definitely win the championship." Lian reminded seriously.

"I haven't been on stage for more than two years." Hesa ​​said with her hands on the table, without raising her head.

"Just make up for the gaps by practicing. You like practicing piano ten hours a day anyway." Lian said bluntly, "No problem."

"..."

He Sha also had some thoughts about Lian's proposal.

Whether it's returning to the music department or winning, it's actually not a serious matter.

But if she really won the championship but failed in the collaborative performance, Kazusa's self-esteem might not be able to bear it.

There is no doubt that everyone will blame her rather than the more powerful Lian.

"Anyway, I'm just conveying the teacher's thoughts to you truthfully." He yawned, "It depends on what you think."

And Touma Kazusa just silently took the pile of information forms and placed them in front of her, looking at the densely packed contents on them blankly.

"What? Don't you know how to fill it out?" Lian thought that since Teacher Hanekawa had asked her for help, she might as well take care of this matter as well.

“…No pen.”

"Oh……"

Lian could only stand up, walk around the music room, and take out a pen from a corner. She drew a few lines on the back of her hand, and found that there was still ink, so she gave it to Hesha.

While Kazusa started filling out the form, Ren sat in front of the piano and opened the lid.

“By the way, if you win the championship in the finals, I will give you another chip.” Lian casually played "Ave Maria".

"What?" Hesha didn't turn around.

"Don't you always hate me being here? If you win the competition this time, I will return the second music room to you." Lian said as a matter of course.

Then, Touma and Sa turned around in surprise, only to see Lian playing the piano calmly and confidently.

After a long while, she turned around and slowed down the process of filling out the form.

As for what the additional conditions are, Touma Kazusa did not make any response.

Chapter 38: Anyway, we are the men who attract women (1)

In the gymnasium, Lian sat on the floor at the sidelines, watching Shizuoka Shizuo dribbling the basketball, passing through the gap between the third-grade boys who were surrounding him. Like a loach, he easily broke through the defense, rushed to the basket, and neatly completed a layup towards the unobstructed basket.

"Wow--!!!"

The girls watching on the sidelines applauded.

Shizhu turned around and smiled at the girls, and then the screams began to double.

"I can't stand it. You're trying to be cool again." Lian teased with a smile.

And he really wanted to tell those girls that the guy wasn’t smiling at them, so don’t be happy.

"Did you see that? Shinomiya-kun was so awesome just now." A girl said to Eriri.

"Hmm, why does it feel like he's so weak..." Eriri nodded seriously, "He's obviously shorter than everyone else..."

"Hey, hey..." Lian couldn't help but sigh quietly as she listened to the conversation.

The physical education class in the afternoon was basketball, and Shizhu, Eriri, and some second- and third-year students chose this sport.

Lian is also included.

The exam items are relatively simple, so most people just come to get credits.

Halfway through the class, some students who were more familiar with basketball, under the organization of the teacher, were mixed into two teams and began a practice match.

Shizunomiya Shizu is the starting lineup.

He was obviously shorter than the others, but no one dared to look down on him.

Shizhu's grades in all aspects are among the best in Fengzhizaki, just like his sister Shinomiya Kaguya.

Originally, I wanted to rely on my height to suppress Shizhu, but I didn't expect this guy to be so incredibly flexible. With the red temporary team uniform, his speed seemed to be three times that of others.

Lian almost wanted to get a trumpet and play "Char's Dashingness" on the sidelines to entertain everyone.

Or you could change the rhythm and name it "The Refreshing Carnation".

"Are you just going to sit here?"

Along with the voice, the girl with long black hair sat down next to Lian.

During physical education classes, most students only wore the school's uniform sportswear, and only when the boys were doing practice games did they all change into basketball uniforms.

More than half a year had passed, and the students at Fengzhizaki had basically gotten used to the feeling of having a famous person as a schoolmate. Coupled with Lian's personality that was not easy to get close to, few people approached him when he sat alone during physical education class.

"You are the same." Lian leaned slightly away from the others and tilted her head to look at Touma and Sa. "I saw that you ran very fast during the physical education test, right?"

"No one has ever stipulated that if you can run fast, you must be able to play basketball, right?" Hesha frowned and stared at Lian unhappily, "And——"

"And if I break my finger by accident, I don't know how many months it will take before I can play the piano again." He laughed. "You're afraid of hurting your finger but you still choose basketball class. Are you asking for trouble?"

"Do you think I want to choose? All the places have been taken by students who have chosen other courses." Hesa ​​said unhappily.

"Oh, then you are really miserable." Lian's face was full of sympathy, but she was still smiling. "Anyway, absence is commonplace. Just go back to the second music room to practice the piano. No one will stop you."

"not in the mood."

"Is the piece I assigned too difficult?" Lian looked at the ceiling of the gymnasium, "It shouldn't be..."

"Are you out of your mind? Are all the songs you chose Bach?"

Then Kazusa subconsciously spoke the truth.

“Is Bach bad?”

"..." Hesha didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after a long time she managed to say, "It has nothing to do with whether it's good or not..."

She almost vomited from playing Bach all the time.

At this time, the sharp sound of sneakers rubbing against the wooden floor on the court irritated Touma Hesa's ears. She frowned and looked over, and found a boy with a crew cut lying on the ground. The basketball rolled towards her and fell beside Lian's legs.

"Lian, can you come up?" Shizhu ran over to pick up the ball.

"Ah? We are not in the same team as each other, right?" Lian asked blankly.

Shi Zhu shrugged, "It seems your teammate has twisted his waist and can't use his strength... Substitute him in advance."
