Chapter 134 Kyoto! Kyoto! (2)
The stage for concerts in the station building is set up in the square in the middle of the grand staircase, and the audience will sit on the stairs to enjoy the performance.
As soon as Watanabe Toru got out of the car, he was startled by the crowded stairs.
Among them, you can see whole groups of primary and secondary school students. Perhaps they were brought here by the school specially to appreciate the performances of excellent schools.
There were also many audience members who happened to pass by and were attracted by the performance and stopped to watch.
“I didn’t expect there would be so many people in Kyoto.”
"Do you think Kyoto is a country town?"
“A thousand-year-old capital always gives me this impression.”
Qingye Rin held her right hand with her left hand, put her right hand against her forehead, and said with a headache: "I don't know whether I should ask you to improve your horizons or your appreciation of history and culture."
"Are you kidding me? I'm the only one who needs improvement? In terms of vision, I've seen things you can't even imagine. And my appreciation of history... Are you jealous of me for getting first place in the liberal arts?"
"Musical instruments." Qingye Rin pointed at the truck.
Because her tone was unquestionable and the game on his phone had just ended, Watanabe Toru obediently took off his headphones, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the truck.
After watching Toru Watanabe move the instruments for a while, Rin Kiyono said to the accompanying teacher, Aina Koizumi, "Teacher, I'm going to change clothes in the car. Please help keep an eye on the scene and don't let anything happen to them."
"Kiyono-san, I'm the teacher." Koizumi Aona joked with pretended dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry for being rude." Qingye Rin nodded calmly, walked onto the empty bus, and pressed the button for the curtains.
Koizumi Aona looked at all the curtains closing automatically and smiled helplessly.
I don’t know if Kiyono herself has noticed that her attitude towards Watanabe Toru is completely different from her attitude towards other people.
Could it be that Kujo-san has discovered their relationship? But no matter what, they should try to hide it in front of their girlfriends, right?
But is this normal? As a teacher, should she worry about her students cheating on her?
After helping to move the instruments to the backstage, Toru Watanabe smoothed out his shirt sleeves and looked at the members from other schools.
Before coming, he had already done some research on Kitauji High School. Although they were not wearing school uniforms, he could immediately recognize them by the school badge.
They looked over one by one and soon found Sister Lina who was tuning a trumpet.
She has black hair, a pretty face with a calm expression, her performance costume is pushed up high on her chest, and she is wearing a white short skirt and long stockings. She is a girl who exudes charm even though she is only in high school.
Rushing over directly... doesn't seem to be a good idea, but it seems that there is no chance for me to be alone.
What should I do?
Toru Watanabe was lost in thought with his oboe reed in his mouth. His eyes swept across the Qingliang Girls' High School, a school with a strong focus on wind music, and suddenly he paid attention.
He walked straight towards Qingliang Girls' High School.
As a girls' high school, they were obviously overwhelmed when they saw a handsome and elegant male high school student approaching them.
Some of them avoided his gaze, some hid behind others, and some looked at him expectantly.
Throughout the backstage, the number of girls was overwhelming. After all, there were already more girls in the wind orchestra, not to mention that there was an all-girls school. Suddenly, a boy who was more handsome than the idol walked out of his school's group and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The location of Kitauji High School.
"What is he doing?" Ye Yue asked curiously.
"Are you going to pick up someone?" Luhui's big eyes on her small face shone brightly.
Kumiko gave a wry smile. Although Midori looked like an elementary school student, she was completely like a girl when it came to love and was usually particularly interested in this aspect.
"It doesn't look like it." Ye Yue said.
Kumiko also looked over and saw the handsome boy holding the oboe reed and saying something to the oboe player of Qingliang Girls' High School.
Seeing the girl's flushed face and her hands nervously pulling at her skirt, Kumiko could fully imagine how incoherent she was at the moment.
I can't bear to watch it any longer.
Kumiko turned her gaze to Reina, who was concentrating on tuning the instrument without being affected at all.
"Ah! He went to Lihua!" Ye Yue suddenly shouted.
"Is it really not a flirtation?" Lu Hui said regretfully.
Kumiko couldn't help but look over again. Good, this time it was Tachika's oboe player's turn to blush.
Wait, this is a trend!
Kumiko turned her head and looked at Kitauji's oboe player, Kaizuka Mizuki.
Not only her, many girls in Kitauji realized that the next target of the overly handsome boy would be Kitauji...the oboe player.
The girls began to riot.
"What should I do? What should I do? He's coming over!"
"Help me check if my bangs are messy?!"
"I'll help you with it. Okay, you can help me too!"
However, the center of the storm, Senior Kaizuka Mizuki, was completely indifferent.
Reina at least looked up to see what was going on, and only went back to her own business if she wasn't interested, but Senior Misaki didn't even raise her head.
Kumiko noticed that it was only after Yuko and Natsuki-senpai reminded her that Mizuki-senpai looked up in confusion.
While the two seniors were explaining, Kumiko looked at the boy again and saw that he was already walking towards them.
She suddenly understood why Ritsuka and Kiyora were so excited - looking at the beautiful boy walking towards you is really bad for your heart.
Kumiko had only experienced this unbearable and heart-pounding feeling when she was alone with Reina.
Kitauji was completely agitated, and even Reina couldn't help but raise her head and asked Kumiko softly what happened.
"I'm not sure." Kumiko shook her head slightly. "It seems to be about the oboe."
"Oboe?" Lina was stunned for a moment, and finally took a serious look at the boy. "Is he the very talented oboe player that Luhui mentioned?"
"Ah! Xiaolu almost forgot!" Luhui put his hands on his chest and suddenly reacted.
"I forgot too." Ye Yue didn't care.
Rina looked at Kumiko and she looked like she just remembered something, she was stunned at how much her best friend liked beautiful women.
Kumiko smiled sheepishly and quickly looked away. The boy had already walked up to Senior Sister Mizuo.
"Sorry," the boy's voice was also very nice, "I'm the oboe teacher at Kamikawa High School. Can I ask how I make and maintain my reed?"
As expected, it was because of this. Kumiko, who wanted to see a good show, couldn't help but be disappointed.
But it seems impossible that he would suddenly chat up three girls at the same time.
"I don't know." Kaizuka Mizuki turned his head away with disinterest.
“…”
Kumiko had already guessed this situation.
Unlike herself who likes both boys and girls, she knows that Senior Mizuki likes Senior Nozomi, not in the sense of "like", but in the sense of "love".
The boy scratched his head shyly and looked troubled.
"Sorry to bother you." The boy didn't continue to pester her. He nodded and turned away.
As soon as he turned around, Yuko and Natsuki-senpai started to lecture Kaori-senpai in a low-key manner, but Kaori-senpai looked like she wasn't listening at all.
Just when Kumiko felt sorry for Senior Mizuo, the beautiful boy she had been staring at suddenly glanced over here.
The other person's eyes lit up and he changed direction and walked over.
Kumiko swallowed, but her throat became even drier.
Just as she was thinking, "Is he here to find me?", "But I play the euphonium!", "What should I do?", her performance clothes were suddenly grabbed by someone.
She looked down and saw that Luhui was grabbing Ye Yue's clothes, Ye Yue was grabbing her clothes, and she didn't know when, she had already held Lina's hand tightly.
Ah, it’s Lina’s hand. No matter how many times I hold it, it’s always so soft!
Wait, Kumiko, now is not the time to think about this!
Kumiko tried to force herself to calm down, but her palms were warm like Reina's and in front of her was a handsome boy walking towards her, so she couldn't stay calm.
"Excuse me, is this Kousaka Reina-san? I'm Watanabe Toru from Kamikawa. I heard your solo at the Kansai Tournament and it moved me so much!"
"Ah, thank you." Lina responded with some surprise.
"That powerful and beautiful tone is so intoxicating." The boy said this in a louder voice than before , and suddenly seemed to react and calm down.
He explained: "Actually, I played the oboe, but that was because no one in the orchestra played the oboe. My favorite instrument is the trumpet, so I admire people who are good at playing the trumpet."
Kumiko could understand the boy's feelings.
Rather than the low-key euphonium, she wanted to play the cool trombone, but because there were too few people playing the euphonium and she was too much of a follower of the crowd, she has been playing the euphonium until now.
Lina frowned slightly: "The performance is about to begin, what do you want to say?"
As expected of Reina, she could even look down on the beautiful boy. Kumiko was in awe of her.
"This is what I mean. Could you please give me an autograph, Kousaka-san?" the boy said a little embarrassedly.
"Wow!" Ye Yue beside her made an incredible sound.
Kumiko and Reina were also surprised. They actually wanted... an autograph?
"Are you sure you don't want email and line?" Lu Hui asked angrily for some reason.
The boy was startled and quickly denied it, "No, no, no, I just want an autograph. Um, Kosaka-san, can you sign an autograph for me? I think you will become an amazing world-class trumpet player in the future!"
For the first time, Reina was shy and blushed. "No, my level is impressive for a high school student, but it's still far from a professional performer."
Is this modesty or pride? The boy in front of me might also have this question.
But Kumiko knew that Reina was never modest or proud on the trumpet.
What Reina said was true. She was really very strong among high school students. She even snatched the solo qualification from a third-year senior!
"You are very good now, and you will be even better in the future. I want to get your first autograph no matter what! So, can you please sign for me now?" The boy looked sincere.
The first fan.
Lina was a little embarrassed and shy. She glanced at the stage and said, "I'm about to go on stage , and I don't have a pen with me."
"As for pens, I have them here." The boy took out a black pen and a booklet from his school uniform trousers.
The booklet is in the style of English word cards that Kumiko usually uses.
As expected of a student who was admitted to Imperial University, he would bring vocabulary cards even when performing.
However, why does the sentence written by this boy look so strange, even with an upside-down “?”? Does it mean that I don’t understand the meaning of this sentence?
Lina thought about it and said, "Okay."
She took the boy's pen and word card shyly, and wrote her name on the word card as if she was writing her name in an exam.
"Thank you so much!" The boy even bowed.
Kumiko could sense that he was genuinely happy.
"No, nothing." After returning the pen and word cards to the boy, Reina shyly tucked her hair behind her ears.
After the boy got the autograph, he looked at it carefully and let out a helpless sigh .
"Is there a problem?" Lina asked nervously.
It’s not because the boys are handsome, but because she is afraid that her handwriting will disappoint her fans.
"No, it's okay." After saying that, the boy hesitated and looked like he wanted to say something.
"Just say whatever you want to say!" Kumiko said with a smile, "As a close friend of the future world-class trumpet player, I will agree to your request on her behalf."
"Kumiko!" Reina pulled Kumiko's clothes with dissatisfaction and shyness.
"This matter, well, is a little difficult to talk about. Actually, I..."
"What are you doing here?"
The boy hesitated and didn't finish his words before a cold and pleasant voice interrupted him.
Kumiko looked over and noticed that at some point, an equally handsome boy had come up to them.
Everyone in the backstage was focused here, and the girls all had rosy faces.
At this time, they are not the chosen ones who have stood out from 3,792 high schools across the country and are able to participate in the national competition, but just ordinary fans.
Kumiko looked carefully and realized that the second "beautiful boy" was not a boy, but actually the girl from Kamikawa High School who had caused a sensation just now!
Why are you suddenly dressed like this?
'Kamikawa's new advisor is a first-year student of Kamikawa', Midoriki's words suddenly flashed through her mind.
Could it be that this incredibly beautiful girl in front of me is Kamikawa’s new advisor?
The world is so unfair.
She is a beautiful person with superhuman talents. How can she continue to work hard?
"Nothing." The boy's words interrupted Kumiko's wandering thoughts.
The "fake beautiful boy" took a deep look at the "real beautiful boy" and turned to them and said, "Sorry to bother you."
"No, no, no, I'm not disturbing you," Kumiko said quickly.
Lina also nodded, indicating that everything was fine.
" Excuse me!" Lu Hui suddenly said loudly, "Are you Shenchuan's new consultant?"
The "fake beautiful boy" was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
“Why are you so outstanding? In your first year, you were able to lead a school that had never even entered the Kanto Competition to enter the national competition, and even be favored by the judges to become a seed team?” Lu Hui has already transformed into a fan and reporter.
"Practice more, memorize more music, and choose appropriate subject music and free music."
There is nothing special about the answer given by "Fake Beautiful Boy". Anyone who knows about orchestral music basically knows this.
"It's almost time, we should go back and prepare." "True Beautiful Boy" raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.
Kumiko didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that he was a little eager to end the topic.
What's wrong? Are you worried that your classmates will know that you are a fan of a high school girl? Are you shy because of that?
It's quite cute.
"Please wait a moment. I have a question to ask you." This time it was Rina who spoke.
"Please speak." The "Fake Beautiful Boy" crossed her arms and nodded, like a young lady.
As expected of a Tokyo high school student, his aura is different.
"No, Kiyono-san, time..."
The "fake beautiful boy" glanced sideways, and the "real beautiful boy" closed his mouth unwillingly.
"So cute! Such a cool boy!" Kumiko once again praised the "real beautiful boy" who was about 15 centimeters taller than her.
Lina sorted out her words a little and asked, "What instrument are you in charge of?"
"small."
"small?"
"yes."
"Then may I ask how good your trumpet is?"
"Wait, Kosaka-san," the "True Beautiful Boy" spoke again, "I respect our advisor very much, so it doesn't matter whether the trumpet is strong or weak, right?"
"Very strong." The "fake beautiful boy" seemed not to hear what the "real beautiful boy" said.
"Have you ever participated in a wind instrument competition in junior high school?" Lina continued to ask.
"Not really. I only had private lessons from a teacher, a French trumpet player who is now deceased but you may have heard of her: Joan Hinde."
"Is it really Joan?!"
Reina's expression was very surprised, something Kumiko had never seen before. She couldn't help but ask, " Is this Joan very powerful?"
"Of course!" Reina turned her head sharply and her hair hit Kumiko's face.
It hurts...but it smells so good! Jo and nothing else matter now!
“As a teenager, Joan gave a legendary performance on the BBC’s Pops Box, during which time she was the only female trumpeter in the world to broadcast Haydn’s famous trumpet concertos. And, she also became a brass band conductor at a very young age!”
"BBC? Broadcasting Haydn?" Ye Yue asked puzzledly.
"Radio Haydn is... I'll explain it to you later!" Lina turned her head again and looked at the "Fake Beautiful Boy" eagerly, "I have several of Joan's vinyl records at home. When she passed away not long ago, I was very sad!"
"Thank you." "Fake Beautiful Boy" nodded. "Teacher Joan was my trumpet teacher. I am very sad about her passing, but she was very peaceful when she left."
"Why have I never heard of such a thing?" said the "True Beautiful Boy".
"Should I also tell you when my grandfather died?"
"Please accept my condolences."
The "fake beautiful boy" rolled his eyes at the "real beautiful boy" who lowered his eyes in admit of defeat.
Looking at the interaction between the two people in front of him, Lu Hui's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Xiao Lu guesses that you two must be a couple!"
"That's right." The "True Beautiful Boy" nodded in agreement.
"Shut up."
"I'm sorry, I have an attitude problem."
Kumiko felt that the words of apology from the "True Beautiful Boy" were too familiar to her, as if she had prepared them long ago.
"As you can see," the "Fake Beautiful Boy" rubbed his brows, "I don't know what this guy just said to you, but you'd better not believe a word he said."
"Ah, he just said that he is a fan of Reina and asked for an autograph!" Ye Yue's voice could be heard by everyone in Kitauji.
Reina blushed, "Hazuki-san!"
"Fan? Rina?" The "Fake Beautiful Boy" was stunned, as if he was recalling something.
"Ms. Kiyono, Kiyono-san! Kiyono! Let's go back? Okay?" The "real beautiful boy" seemed to have lost his composure, put his hand on the "fake beautiful boy"'s shoulder, and forced the latter to turn around and leave.
"Let go." The "Fake Beautiful Boy" said casually.
The "True Beautiful Boy" immediately let go.
The "fake beautiful boy" stood there thinking for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the "real beautiful boy" with a smile so cold that even Kumiko could feel the chill.
"Watanabe-san, you are so bold."
"Qiono-san, you misunderstood. I asked for Reina's autograph as a fan of hers."
"Sister Reina?" Kumiko and the others were stunned.
"It's fine if you lie normally, but I didn't expect you to start lying to girls in Kyoto now." The "Fake Beautiful Boy" sneered: "Do you want to admit your mistake and apologize, or should I do it?"
"Wait wait, what do you mean by lying to a girl from Kyoto? I'm really a fan of Sister Reina!"
The "True Beautiful Boy" had completely lost the modesty he had just shown when asking for an autograph.
"What kind of fan are you?"
“I, I am…”
"Um?"
Watanabe Toru sucked his cheeks together, staring at the roof of the station as if he was counting the number of glass panes, pretending not to hear.
"Kousaka-san, first of all, I apologize to you. This was a joke from Watanabe-san. I didn't mean to offend you. Actually, he..."
"Forget it." Watanabe Toru said, "I'll do it myself, okay?"
Qingye Rin smiled terrifyingly, waiting for him to confess.
Toru Watanabe took out a pen and paper from his pocket and walked in front of Reina Kousaka.
Reina, Kumiko and the others, no, not only them, but also the other students from Kitauji High School, and even the students from the other three schools, although they could not hear the sound, were also paying attention to this side.
"Sister Lina, I'm your fan."
"……ah?"
"It means I admire your big breasts."
“…”
"Don't get me wrong! Really! I'm a professional in leg research and I don't have any dirty thoughts about you, so, can you please sign another autograph for me as a star player?"
Sister Lina finally realized what the person in front of her was saying.
"Pervert! Die!"
