Chapter 69: Watanabe Toru, you are the first time a time traveler interferes with human choices
The rain kept falling, making a pleasant sound on the corridor windows.
Ikki Aoi actively led the way in front, while Hanada Asako and Kiyono Rin talked about the general situation of the wind orchestra.
Watanabe Toru fell to the back and admired Kiyono's wavy black hair.
The four of them were on their way to the wind band.
"...So recently many members' training has been stopped." Hanada Asako said softly.
"I see." Qingye Rin nodded without commenting.
As for Toru Watanabe, he didn't listen at all.
Although the wind band club is not as good as the baseball club and the football club, it is definitely the number one among cultural clubs.
Not only does the activity classroom have a heavy door with soundproofing, but each part also has a small classroom for practice, with a total number of students exceeding eighty.
Compared to the Human Observation Club, which has only three members and uses the storage room (formerly) as a club classroom, it is like Kujo Miki's single-family house and Watanabe Toru's rental house.
"So many people." Watanabe Toru said with envy.
"What's the point of having more people? I listened to their practice for two months, and except for the bass part, the rest are just a mob." Qingno Rin commented bluntly.
After saying that, she sighed and added, "It's amazing that they dared to set their sights on the national competition. They are just as ignorant ."
"Well."
Watanabe Toru didn't care about being accused of having no self-awareness. He awkwardly cast an apologetic look at the two members of the wind orchestra.
Hanada Asako and Ikki Aoi seemed to have their weak spots exposed and lowered their heads in shame.
"Deputy Director Watanabe," said Rin Kiyono in the manner of an elder, "Although there are only two of us in the Human Observation Department, as long as we want, playing solo is the minimum performance level of our department."
It seems that she has not yet recognized Kujo Miki's status as an official member.
Also, even if you are telling the truth, you should pay attention to the occasion!
Didn’t you notice that the people in the wind band around you were looking at you unfriendly?
Hanada Asako, who also noticed the gazes of the people around her, quickly said to the two of them, "Senior Mai is in the small classroom of the bass section. Please follow me."
The four of them left the large classroom of the wind orchestra and walked into a classroom that was about half the size of the human observation department's activity classroom.
So luxurious!
Why is it so luxurious for just one part?
You have to know that before Kujo Miki joined the club, their only activity space was around a beech table!
In the small classroom, Mai Asu was instructing three people to practice the euphonium. In the corner sat two people, holding tubas.
Watanabe Toru saw the first cello case with the name "Hanada Asako" written on it on the instrument stand.
"Senior Mai," Hanada Asako stepped forward softly, "Junior Kiyono and Junior Watanabe want to come and visit, can we let them stay?"
"...Yeah." Asu Mai responded without any emotion.
"Thank you." After expressing their gratitude, the two men sat on the stools in the corner.
Asu Mai should be the leader of the bass section. In addition to instructing the first-year students including Ikki Aoi, she will also organize everyone to play together.
Toru Watanabe glanced at Kiyono Rin who was listening to the music seriously, and decided to use his unknown 30% mysterious power.
This was to repay Qing Ye Lin for helping him see through Kujo Miki's lies, allowing him to successfully reconcile, and for hiding his confession that was all lies.
Besides, he himself wanted to end this matter quickly.
"Watanabe, you are the first and last Ultraman who will use the system to help others capture girls. No, you are the first Ultraman who will use the system to help others capture girls. Detector, open!"
The girl's information was displayed on the blue transparent panel.
【Character: Asu Mai】
Age: 17
[Intelligence: 8]
【Charm: 8】
[Physical Strength: 6]
[Information: Lack of emotions; full of desire for things that bring strong impact to the soul, currently obsessed with Watanabe Toru's smile]
[No dating record, can be attacked]
"Hmm?" Toru Watanabe blinked.
Asu Mai's eyes, which looked like they had been scooped up from a handful of clear summer lake water, were looking intently at the music score on the stand, her cherry-colored lips pressed against the cold mouthpiece.
The gentle, broad, melodious and soothing tone of the euphonium flows slowly in the small classroom.
"Are you obsessed with Toru Watanabe's smile?"
No matter how hard he looked at Watanabe Toru, he couldn't tell that the other person had such a hobby.
But the detector cannot be wrong.
Is it because of lack of emotion? So even if I am obsessed, I won't show it in practice?
"Stop." Asu Mai's sweet voice without any emotion sounded, "Continue practicing, and play together again before finishing."
"yes."
Everyone, including Ikki Aoi and Hanada Asako, began to practice seriously. Asu Mai placed the euphonium on a chair and slowly walked towards the two people from the Human Observation Department.
"Feeling." She seemed to be asking about the level of the duet they had just played, but there was no questioning tone in her voice at all.
"Forget about the tuba and double bass, but for the euphonium part," Qing Ye Lin looked around, "if you, Asuri-senpai, play it solo, your chances of entering the Kanto competition will be better."
In the small classroom, the only sound was the silence of the plum rain.
"Uh-huh," Watanabe Toru stood up awkwardly, "I'm sorry, my director's requirements are quite strict, I didn't mean to say that others played badly."
Qingye Rin glared at Watanabe Toru, but did not deny it. She just brushed her long hair off her shoulders.
Asu Mai was unaware of the awkward atmosphere in the small classroom. She nodded and looked at Watanabe Toru with an inquiring look.
"Well, everything is fine." Watanabe Toru said perfunctorily.
I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t taken any acting classes, but I always feel like other people’s looks are even more unfriendly.
"Haha," Watanabe Toru smiled awkwardly and pulled up Qingye Rin, who didn't care a bit about the unwelcome looks from everyone, "Sorry for disturbing you today. We'll leave first."
After watching Watanabe Toru walk out of the small classroom, Asu Mai slowly walked back to her seat. Then, regardless of the embarrassed expressions of others, she continued practicing without saying a word.
The two people from the Human Observation Department came to the corner of the corridor .
"Please pay attention to the situation when you speak, my Minister Qingye!"
"You want me to lie?"
"That's not what I meant. I know you have your own persistence, but in that case, wouldn't it be enough for you to just praise Senior Mingri for her good performance?"
"Isn't that what I meant?" Qing Ye Lin sneered: "It's been two months since the start of school. Even those who have never touched a musical instrument are not as good as them."
"That's their business." Watanabe Toru said helplessly.
"They decided to aim for the national competition themselves, not to mention not practicing seriously, and they are blaming the people who pointed out their problems?"
"this……"
"If I were the head of the wind band, they wouldn't even be able to sleep until they reached a level that satisfied me."
"...I don't care about the wind band. I want to ask if there are any level requirements for human observation? First of all, I have to go to bed before 12 o'clock every day."
Qingye Rin chuckled and praised: "Don't worry, I am quite satisfied with your level so far, whether it is submitting to the literature and art department or tutoring students with the lowest deviation values."
"What about in the future? If there is a task that I haven't completed, you won't let me sleep during special training, right?"
"If this is the case, you must have already started working hard before I trained you, right?"
Although Watanabe Toru was annoyed by the knowing smile on Kiyono Rin's face, he still nodded.
Qingye Rin smiled proudly and looked towards the small classroom of the bass section.
She said:
"It doesn't matter what your current level is. The key is whether you are willing to work hard. You can't do it yourself, but you blame the person who pointed out the problem... I take back what I said at the beginning. Including the bass section, except for senior Mai Asuka, the whole wind orchestra is a mob."
Watanabe Toru was speechless.
He slapped his hand on his forehead: "Whatever you want."
Qingye Rin touched her long hair contentedly and walked out of the corner: "Let's go back to our activity room."
Toru Watanabe looked at her graceful back.
It was not her place as an outsider to blame other people's affairs , but when questioned by Asuka Mai, she spoke frankly about her thoughts. Watanabe Toru laughed at her lack of worldly wisdom, but also felt a little admiration for her.
Kiyono Rin is truly a mirror.
If you are not ready to face your true self, it is best not to approach her.
"How perfect will I be in the future if I face the challenges head on? Maybe even if I don't do anything, women all over the world will be eager to be my girlfriend, right?"
"Unfortunately, I already have Kujo Miki."
"Watanabe-san, have you finally gone insane enough to talk to yourself? The environment of my mental hospital is really ..."
"Give up! I'd rather die than go!"
