Chapter 263 We chatted about random things, and then something extraordinary happened
Kiyono Rin handed the qualified list to Hayami Kaoru, and the morning's selection was over.
"What do you want to eat? Where to eat?" asked Toru Watanabe.
There are two , so if you don’t mind, you can sneak back and take a nap.
Qingye Rin pondered, thinking about what he wanted to eat.
In stark contrast to their leisurely performance by the window, the atmosphere in the music classroom was solemn.
Fifty or sixty people who played brass instruments were looking nervously at Hayami Kaoru at the front of the classroom.
As for the remaining woodwind and percussion groups, even though they only participated in the audition in the afternoon, no one knew whether they could enter Group A, so it was difficult for them to look calmly at the joys and sorrows of the brass group.
"Let's start with the trumpet section." Hayami Xun's gentle voice squeezed into the almost stagnant air of the brass section.
The breathing sounds in the classroom seemed to weaken, and everyone's faces were tense, staring at Hayami Xun.
If you are in other schools, it doesn’t matter if you are not selected to enter Group B. You can still participate in various competitions, even in wind performance competitions with fewer people.
However, Kamikawa High School focuses on academic advancement, and the wind orchestra will not participate in any other competitions except the 55-person wind orchestra competition.
Therefore, those who are not in Group A can only perform at occasions such as opening ceremonies, sports meets, and cultural festivals.
"Third year, Kana Asada."
"have!"
"Third year, Kitamura Sa."
"have!"
"First, first year, student Noriko." Hayami Kaoru's voice trembled.
“…Yes, yes!” Noriko Ikuhara seemed to have not come back to her senses.
A burst of crying broke out in the classroom, and all the second-year students in the trumpet group were eliminated.
"First year," Hayami Kaoru glanced at the crying club members with reluctance and continued to call out the names, "Murase Emi."
"have!"
There were mixed emotions in the classroom. The students who passed were happy, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously in front of those who failed.
Those who were not called cried quietly, while others just sat there motionless.
Watanabe Toru listened to the girl's sobbing and said to Kiyono Rin:
"Not even one in the second grade?"
"If I give them a chance, the judges won't give Kamikawa a chance." As the culprit, Kiyono Rin, in such an atmosphere, still does not feel any guilt or reluctance.
Toru Watanabe looked at her cold, fair profile and once again felt her moonlight-like, cold charm.
"If I fall behind, please let me join Group A, will you agree?" Toru Watanabe proposed the hypothesis.
"No." Qingye Rin replied immediately.
“There’s a little bit of loss.”
Kiyono Rin turned her head and looked at Watanabe Toru and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Watanabe Toru asked.
"Want to get my favor?" Qingye Rin asked with interest, hand on chin.
"Of course, we are the closest of friends, but I understand your approach."
"If you can't understand and support what I do, then we are not friends."
"It would be too harsh to be your friend."
"So you're the only one here." Qingye Rin gave a faint smile.
"After hearing what you said, I no longer feel lost. I understand and support you."
"The order is reversed. I will only say that if you don't feel lost, understand me, and support me first."
"The order doesn't matter." There were people here, and Toru Watanabe smiled with his eyes, "We are friends anyway, can you please make an exception and let me join Group A?"
Qingye Rin rolled her eyes at him and turned to continue watching Hayami Kaoru announce the results.
"Kiyono-san? Kiyono? R-san? Okay? Just this once?"
"Could you please not be so disgusting?"
“…”
While the two were chatting, the list of the brass group had already been announced.
"The above are the members of Brass Section A. The soloists will be announced in the evening along with the Woodwind Section and Percussion Section."
"Yes!" Joyful, sad, and nervous responses.
Hayami Kaoru looked at Kiyono Rin at the window, asking her with her eyes if she had anything else to announce. If not, the morning would end here.
She thought everything was fine, but then Qing Ye Lin walked over, and she quickly made way for Qing Ye Lin to stand in the command position.
"Regarding the members of Group A, I am announcing a new rule."
Everyone held their breath, and those female members who had been crying out loud turned into sobbing, waiting for her to continue.
"From now on, at the end of every month, the voices that don't perform as well as I want will be re-selected, so members of Division B, please practice hard and don't just sit there to make up the numbers."
"..." Group A stood there in a daze.
"Yes!" Group B answered excitedly.
Many girls who were originally crying stopped crying and looked determined.
Just like what last year's wind band leader Misaki Komatsu said: If you don't work hard, that's fine, but if you work hard, you must never lose to others easily.
This is the style of Kamikawa High School.
The members of Group A, who had been comforting the failed girls, became wary.
The close sisterhood in the classroom was broken.
Such a strong sense of competition will give them a greater chance of entering the national competition and winning national gold.
Kiyono Rin walked down from the podium and returned the seat to Hayami Kaoru. She and Watanabe Toru walked out of the wind orchestra.
"There's one audition a month. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
"What if it still doesn't work?" Watanabe Toru asked curiously.
"Don't worry, it's not impossible." Qing Ye Lin showed a friendly smile, "I will give you one-on-one special tutoring, and practice every day until your mouth is numb."
"I feel your deep love, R-san."
Before Qing Ye Lin's eyes turned cold, Watanabe Toru immediately changed the subject: "Did you add this rule temporarily for me?"
"I just thought of it at the last minute, but it's not just a joke. This rule can improve the strength of the wind band."
"You may not believe it, but I made this joke just to guide you to think about this rule. Do you feel my deep love?"
Is this statement true or false?
If one day, Shen Qingye wrote her memoirs, you would probably be able to get the answer from her.
By then, you should be able to learn many secrets that are not revealed in this book.
Watanabe Toru and Kiyono Rin left the campus and walked from Yotsuya Station towards Ichigaya.
We turned from the main road into a small road and had lunch at a restaurant, which served only seasonal ingredients.
After dinner, Toru Watanabe suggested taking a walk, and after a slight hesitation, Rin Kiyono nodded in agreement.
On the way, Toru Watanabe went to buy some water, and took the initiative to help unscrew the bottle cap, and used the skills brought by his "Master-level Free Fighting" and other skills to cleverly put drugs in it.
The two continued walking along the river until they reached Iidabashi, and then walked back.
When they returned to the slope of Kamikawa, Qingye Rin was sweating slightly and couldn't help but unbuttoning her school uniform.
Watanabe Toru glanced at her.
The white shirt was pressed under the pleated skirt, tightly bounding her slender and well-proportioned waist. The afternoon breeze blew, her black hair fluttered and swayed, and the white shirt was close to her abdomen, making her waist look even more amazing.
Toru Watanabe felt endless charm from Kiyono Rin's body.
"How far have you walked?" Qingye Rin asked when they arrived at the school gate.
"It's about 5 kilometers round trip." Watanabe Toru said based on his long experience of running in Jingu Gaien.
"As long as I want, I can do anything." She tilted her slender white neck and drank the last sip .
'If it weren't for my kindness, you would have lost your reputation long ago.'
Kiyono Rin twisted the bottle cap in her hand and turned her gaze to Watanabe Toru who was staring at her: "What are you thinking about?"
"nothing."
"I trust you, that's why I walk with you and drink the water you buy."
"How much do you know?"
"Look how much I want to know."
"…R-san, I'm a little scared of you."
"What are you afraid of?" Qingye Rin's tone of reproach contained kindness, "I stand with you."
“…”
If this continues, even Toru Watanabe, who is becoming more and more amazing every day, will find it difficult to resist the charm of Kiyono Kami.
Seeing Watanabe Toru in silence, Kiyono Rin smiled slightly.
“It really is effective,” she said.
"What works?" Watanabe Toru asked subconsciously.
"I was just imitating the way you usually speak."
Should girls who chat with him endure such temptation?
Then why doesn't Eriri marry him?
Oh, the two of them have always had a one-sided conversation.
Watanabe Toru struggled to get rid of the strange feeling he had just felt.
He once again understood a truth: when humans face the God Qingye, they either fall in love at first sight or slowly become obsessed and unable to extricate themselves.
There is no other choice.
Eating and walking, two hours, no more, no less.
The two returned to the music classroom to continue the selection.
One by one, it's the oboe's turn.
There are three members on oboe this year, with Horikita Mai coming in second.
When she came in, she had a reed in her mouth, her oboe tucked under her arm, and she was staring at the music with both hands.
Sitting opposite the two men, she placed the music score on the music stand, her eyes still fixed on it.
"Look this way." After Watanabe Toru said this, Horikita Mai raised her head.
"Please tell us your grade, name, and the instrument you are responsible for." Qingye Rin repeated this sentence for the umpteenth time today.
"First year, Horikita Mai, my instrument is the oboe." After a short pause, Horikita Mai continued, "I am still a follower of Watanabe-senpai."
"Really?" Kiyono Rin said indifferently, "Watanabe Toru is very good at playing the oboe, so Horikita should be very good too."
"It's over." Horikita Mai hugged her head in regret, "I made it more difficult for myself. It's over, it's over."
"Let's start." Qingye Rin interrupted her monologue.
Horikita Mai quickly picked up the oboe.
"The designated song is 21 bars, with a secondary melody played with the euphonium. Play until I say stop," said Qingno Rin.
"yes!"
Horikita Mai's face turned pale with nervousness. She closed her eyes as if praying for a while before she wrapped her small, crystal-clear lips around the reed.
The mellow tone of the oboe is reflected in the early summer air.
"Okay."
Horikita Mai put down her oboe and wiped the sweat from her head with her sleeve.
"Please call the next person in." Qingye Rin lowered his head and wrote something.
"Yes!" Horikita Mai slowly stood up, slowly picked up the music score, and looked at Watanabe Toru pitifully with a look of help.
Toru Watanabe secretly turned sideways and glanced at the list in Kiyono Rin's hand, and made an "OK" gesture to Horikita Mai, who was reluctant to leave and kept looking back.
"Hehehe~" Horikita Mai let out a Gengar-like giggle and jumped out of the music classroom like a happy little deer.
Hearing the laughter, Kiyono Rin raised her head and looked directly at Watanabe Toru.
Toru Watanabe looked out the window and whistled.
The melody is the line from "Silent Night" by Tatsuro Yamashita: "My thoughts of you remain, yet they haven't disappeared, floating away into the night."
Outside the window, we could hear the baseball team cheering each other on.
The selection will end at three o'clock, which is still early for dinner and afternoon tea.
"Come to my place first?" Watanabe Toru asked, "Read your diary for a while, then go out for dinner?"
"Okay." Qingye Rin nodded.
The two got on the train, got off at Shinano-machi station, walked out of the overpass, and walked to Watanabe Toru's apartment.
This is a long asphalt road with tall apricot trees planted on both sides.
In May, the arc-shaped apricot leaves are green and grow upward.
Toru Watanabe happily enjoyed the lively street scene.
"R-san," he said, "do you think that when a girl goes to a boy's dormitory where he lives alone on Saturday, does that mean she can do that kind of thing?"
Kiyono Rin hugged her shoulders, turned slightly, and stared at Watanabe Toru warily.
“…I was kidding.”
"I know." Qingye Rin naturally put down the hands that were protecting her body.
Watanabe Toru was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I didn't expect you to be able to joke."
"You know whether you want to have my body or not." Qingye Rin said bluntly.
"You know better than me whether I would do that or not!"
"Normally not, but you also said that the location is your apartment, and there's no one around. What if the obscene desires you've suppressed for so long take over again?"
"Suppressed for a long time? It turns out that I have been thinking about your body for so long, and I didn't even know it myself. Thank you for reminding me!"
"You've been glancing at my legs since the day you joined the Human Observation Department, right?"
"Don't talk about this kind of thing on the street." Watanabe Toru had to admit that this was the truth. He lowered his voice and said, "No, we don't have to say it. It's enough for the two of us to know it."
"I've already written it down on the employment survey form for freshman year of high school."
"Um?"
Arriving at the apartment, they took the elevator to the fifth floor.
"Over there are Mr. Koizumi, Ms. Akiko, and Mr. Miyazaki." As he opened the door, Toru Watanabe introduced Room 501.
"Your lover lives across the street?" Qingye Rin said in a sarcastic tone.
"Senior Mai lives in room 602 upstairs." Toru Watanabe walked into room 502.
Watanabe Toru will tell everything, and his thought is still "there is nothing to hide from Kiyono Rin".
Qingye Rin smiled coldly and did not comment.
She originally wanted to use "Poor Kujo Miki was deceived" to satirize Watanabe Toru, but when she thought that this would deepen Watanabe Toru's guilt, she gave up.
Moreover, given Kujo Miki's personality, she did not conduct a thorough investigation when Watanabe Toru moved here. She was probably just pretending to trust Watanabe Toru completely. But after defeating the cutest girl, she would settle the rest of the accounts with Watanabe Toru.
Although Kiyono Rin doesn't care about Watanabe Toru's health, when it comes to settling accounts, she is the same as Kujo Miki.
After the complete victory, it will be time to deal with Watanabe Toru. His soul must be cleansed thoroughly, leaving only her color.
Watanabe Toru, who knew nothing about it, was bending down to get slippers for Kiyono Rin.
The door behind me rang.
Toru Watanabe looked at Kiyono Rin. Kiyono Rin crossed her arms, with a sneer on her pretty face, looking at the opened door as if she was enjoying a good show.
The door opened and Asuka Mai appeared in front of the two of them, carrying a shopping bag.
Without any pause, Asu Mai said to Watanabe Toru:
"Che, I bought some food and we're going to have hotpot tonight."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Qingye Rin: "Rin, you come too."
"Rin?" Qingye Rin repeated the name.
Asuhi Mai nodded slightly: "You call me Mai."
"When did you two become so close?" Toru Watanabe looked back and forth at the two of them.
Asu Mai looked at Watanabe Toru in confusion, and said in a voice without any confusion:
"We are all Toru's lovers. I don't want to cause any conflicts. I want to live a good life with Toru."
"Is this what you say about me behind my back?" Kiyono Rin looked at Watanabe Toru gently.
