Chapter 79 The training started off smoothly
"Each section please go back to your own training classroom. I will take turns to check on you. I hope I don't see you slacking off and chatting." Qingye Rin said the order to disband with a cold look in his eyes.
In an island country that places great emphasis on relationships between seniors and juniors, there is probably no one else except her who, as a freshman in high school, can command more than 60 people, including sophomores and juniors, with such momentum.
No, there is also Kujo Miki.
But if she serves as a consultant... someone will die, right?
Thinking about it this way, Toru Watanabe actually felt that Kiyono Rin was not strict at all.
Looking at the members of the wind band who were dispersing in front of him while whispering bad things about Kiyono Rin, Toru Watanabe sighed that they did not appreciate what they had.
Tetsuya Watanabe returned to the oboe and bassoon section classroom.
He put the music score sent by Kiyono Rin aside. This kind of thing was as far away from him as Iwate Prefecture and Tokyo.
As a novice among novices, he didn't even get to learn basic training like blowing long notes.
In short, you blow out the sound first, and the second step is basic training to stabilize the sound, and then the music score.
“Ga, ga ga…”
Time passed quickly as he was immersed in training, and when Hayami Xun called him, it was already six o'clock.
According to the schedule set by Qingye Rin, the next thirty minutes will be dinner time.
"Watanabe-san, what are you going to eat?" Hayami Kaoru's voice was very gentle.
Watanabe Toru didn't know what to eat for a moment. He thought for a while with the reed in his mouth: "Let's go to the supermarket on campus to see if there is anything to eat. If not, let's go to the restaurant at the station and eat something."
It only takes 5 minutes to get to the restaurant from the school, 10 minutes to go back and forth, and 20 minutes is enough for a meal.
Because the days are long and the nights are short in summer, it was still light outside, and the cries of crows on the telephone poles sounded particularly mournful in the dim sunset.
Toru Watanabe mingled in the crowd of people leaving school, went to the restaurant to eat, and returned to the music classroom ten minutes early to continue practicing.
"Watanabe-san, do you want to have some snacks together to help digestion?"
Looking at the smiling Aoi Ikki, Toru Watanabe asked in confusion: "Eating snacks to help digestion?"
"Girls are all like this." Ikki Aoi smiled mischievously, "Let's go, let's go, they are all girls."
"No, I refuse."
"Why?!"
“I’m the only member of the oboe club, so I have to work hard.”
Of course this is a lie.
It's fine that he stays with Hayami Kaoru during training, but during break time he takes the initiative to go to the training room full of girls. Does he think Kujo Miki doesn't love him enough?
And he had to try very hard and blew it like a duck to make Kujo Miki let him go this time.
However, Toru Watanabe does not hate working hard, no matter if he is forced or not. If he wants to learn, he will study hard.
Just like Spanish and English, these are just a means for him to become better and exercise his learning ability. As for whether they will be useful in the future, he doesn't care much.
Ichimoku Aoi was helpless and pouted and said, "Okay."
A little after eight o'clock in the evening, Kiyono Rin came to the oboe & bassoon section holding a laptop.
She simply nodded as a greeting and said, "Please follow me and sing the music."
"Sing the score?" Watanabe Toru repeated the unfamiliar word in confusion.
Hayami Kaoru explained softly, "It refers to basic training that focuses on reading music scores. It can develop the ability to read music scores and produce the correct intervals."
"Thank you, Hayami-senpai."
Hayami Kaoru responded with a gentle smile that didn't require any pretexting.
"It would be nice if my girlfriend had this kind of personality." Watanabe Toru thought to himself as he looked at her face.
Hayami Fumio's appearance is far from comparable to 9-point Kujo Miki, and is only slightly prettier than ordinary people, but Watanabe Toru likes her gentle personality very much.
"First up is B-yin," said Kiyono Rin, "Hayami-kun, you go first."
"Okay." Hayami Xun nodded and made a sound with the same high pitch as the one played by the computer.
In the darkness of the night, her overly soft voice, coupled with its natural hint of lowness and sadness, seemed to bring Toru Watanabe back to his mother's arms.
Kiyono Rin nodded and looked at Watanabe Toru.
"Me too?"
"Don't think that just because you have a good relationship with me, I can go easy on you."
"Wait, that's not what I meant. I meant..."
Qingye Rin interrupted him directly: "Don't waste time, there are two more parts waiting for me."
"……All right."
After Watanabe Toru finished speaking, she put her hand on her chin and said thoughtfully: "Watanabe Toru, you are not good at singing, right?"
“…That’s the case for now.”
"At the moment? The extent of your tone-deafness is the kind that will definitely not improve in a short period of time." Qingye Rin stated the fact mercilessly.
"Affecting my oboe playing?"
"No. Even if you are tone-deaf, you can still play the correct notes on a musical instrument."
"Then why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Qing Ye Lin's face turned cold: "You are the weakest in the wind band, and your academic performance is not bad. I will help you with special training in singing during the study session later."
"I'm sorry, my attitude is a problem." Toru Watanabe felt that he seemed to say this too skillfully.
Qing Ye Lin snorted as if she was upset. "There's no point in apologizing. Okay, now all of you play the B-note with your instruments together."
Ten minutes later, Qingye Rin rushed to the next part.
"Kiyono-san is very professional ." Hayami Kaoru said softly.
"Very strict too." Toru Watanabe responded after being scolded for ten minutes.
Hayami Kaoru couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene just now: "But I think Kiyono -san's attitude towards you is very special."
"It's very special. It almost makes me scold to death."
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely give up on the path of playing musical instruments immediately after hearing what Qing Ye Lin said to him just now. The scene was like learning to drive in a driving school.
The most infuriating thing is that every word this guy said was an irrefutable truth, which made him find many of his own mistakes.
Although it was only a short period of instruction, Watanabe Toru always felt that he seemed to have mastered the trick of catching the interval and couldn't wait to play it again.
However, this mentality appeared repeatedly in the past ten minutes. Every time after he finished talking, Qingye Rin would criticize him sarcastically and point out more mistakes.
"Could it be that she knows you well, so she treats you like this?"
"Understand me?"
"Yeah. I know that even if you get lectured, you won't give up. Instead, you will work harder."
"That's right. Besides being handsome, smart, gentle and loyal, I'm also good at hard work." Even if Kiyono Rin was present, Watanabe Toru was still confident enough to say this.
But he himself was not sure whether it was true.
It should be true...right? Probably.
"Hmm..." Hayami Kaoru tilted her head in confusion and decided not to continue Watanabe Toru's topic. "In my opinion, Kiyono-san knows that even if she scolds you, you won't hate her, and your relationship won't be ruined because of this, so she is so strict with you."
"That's wrong. That girl doesn't care if people hate her or not."
"Is that really the case?"
"Of course." Watanabe Toru put the reed in his mouth and continued practicing.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the first day of training was over.
At this time, the school building was so quiet that you could hear . Everyone went to the toilet or went home - not everyone decided to attend the study session.
Among those who stayed, many were discussing the instructions that Qingye Rin had just given.
Some said her level was high, but most were dissatisfied with her overly harsh attitude. Toru Watanabe even heard someone crying in the women's restroom at the sink in the bathroom.
"This is the right youth. Crying hard is better than crying for an abortion." Watanabe Toru comforted the girl in his heart.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt someone looking at him again.
It was too common to sneak a peek at him, in the classroom, on the road, on the train. Watanabe Toru had long been accustomed to it. But this look was different. There was no appreciation, no love, no hunger in it. Instead, it was filled with a sense of resentment.
Toru Watanabe raised his head and looked at the mirror. Besides a young boy who was obviously very popular with girls, there was also a beautiful girl with a good figure and slightly puffy cheeks.
Tamamo was beautiful, holding the mouthpiece, standing behind him.
Watanabe Toru turned off the faucet and made way.
Tamamo Haomei pressed the corners of her mouth, glanced at him with a slightly resentful look, walked up to the pool, and cleaned the mouthpiece with water.
Toru Watanabe shook the water off his hands and walked back to the music classroom, thinking to himself that he didn't seem to have done anything wrong to her.
After the break, the study session began and everyone felt a sense of wonder.
The sound of pen writing on paper, even the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, each sounded very loud.
At first, some people talked in low voices out of curiosity, but soon everyone was immersed in learning, and the only way they made noises was to ask questions.
Kamikawa High School is indeed a group of "idiots" who only know how to study.
Only Toru Watanabe was asked by Rin Kiyono to practice singing the music repeatedly before 10 o'clock.
In her words, tone-deaf people are simply unfamiliar with the music. Once they are familiar with it, they can at least keep in tune.
"Of course, don't expect to sing well. There is no other art that values talent more than singing."
Seeing Kiyono Rin's smug expression, Watanabe Toru was so angry that he almost gave himself a little intelligence on the spot!
At the study session, Toru Watanabe is the most popular teacher. After all, the wind band is a club with nine girls as the majority. As a handsome young man, it is hard for him not to be popular.
In addition, compared to Asuka Mai and Kiyono Rin, he is simply too easy to talk to, and his knowledge reserves are sufficient to answer questions, so there is no reason for others not to ask him.
However, the dedicated Toru Watanabe was absolutely impartial in his attitude and would never do anything to let down Kujo Miki.
At half past eleven, everyone left the school one after another.
"Do you want me to take you home?" At the shoe cabinet, Toru Watanabe took the initiative to say to Rin Kiyono.
Being scolded for club activities was one thing, but after all, the relationship between the two was still pretty good, and they were good rivals, and Watanabe Toru didn't want anything to happen to her.
Qingye Rin looked over suspiciously, pressed his hands on the collar of his shirt, and took a step back.
"Watanabe, I admit that I am so beautiful that all men want to commit crimes, but you are smart enough to know what you can and cannot do. Please think about your parents. If they knew that you were imprisoned for molesting a female classmate, they would..."
"I'm not interested in you."
“…”
"I have to think about it if you touch me first."
"…This is the first time I feel that hearing the truth is so infuriating." Qingye Rin loosened his collar, "Then, thank you for your help."
Watanabe Toru looked at her tightly pursed lips, shyly turning her face away, and her snow-white and slightly red profile, and came to a conclusion in his heart:
Girls are definitely cunning creatures!
Because, if Qing Ye Lin were to ask again now, he might not have the confidence that "I'm not interested in you" is definitely the truth.
Shinjuku is still bustling at night. Young people with hair dyed in various colors can be seen everywhere at the intersections, as well as office workers in suits who work overtime until late at night.
"Is there any solution to Sato Ritsuko's problem?" Watanabe Toru asked softly, leaving the main road and walking on a secluded path with unknown wild flowers.
Ritsuko Sato, a member of the resistance army, is the only member of the orchestra who can play the oboe.
Qingye Rin shook her head: "I will try to recruit new members. Maybe there are students in the school who can play the oboe."
"But Kiyono-san, you have to be careful. If you really do this and the problem is not solved, Sato Ritsuko will probably become even more confident and might embarrass you."
"Oh, this should be because you care about me, right? I treated you like this today. Watanabe-san is really gentle and considerate." Kiyono Rin turned her head to look at him and said teasingly.
"What were you thinking? I mean, rather than letting a passerby embarrass you, you should let me do it."
After saying this, Toru Watanabe paused for a moment, and suddenly a couple hugged each other on the road. Under the dim and simple street lights, the shadows of the two were not even as wide as Toru Watanabe.
After silently walking away from the couple, Toru Watanabe continued, "Kiyono-san, when you are desperate, just put on your miko costume and wait for me in the club room, and I will come to help you."
"It's okay to fall asleep on the road, but if you want to dream, I suggest you stay in bed."
"Remember, this is a miko costume, don't wear it wrong when the time comes."
"It seems that Watanabe's ears are not good either." Qingye Rin rubbed his temple, "I remember there are several hospitals in the Kujo family. Let your Meiji take you for a check-up. By the way, let her wear a shrine maiden costume for you to see."
"You...are not cute at all."
"I'm not lovable? There's no bigger lie than that!"
"I mean character!"
“The personality is perfect too!”
"..." Watanabe Toru was really speechless, "Well, I think you can go to the hospital to check for cognitive impairment. Cognition is the intelligent processing process of the body to recognize and acquire knowledge, involving a series of voluntary, psychological and social behaviors such as learning, memory, language, thinking, spirit, emotion, etc. Cognitive impairment refers to..."
Under Kiyono Rin's cold gaze, Watanabe Toru decided not to be too harsh on girls.
As a person, you should be strict with yourself and lenient with others. He never allows himself to make a living by relying on his looks, but he does not object to others making a living by relying on their looks.
After talking about a long paragraph of knowledge from Wikipedia, the two arrived downstairs of Kiyono Rin's apartment.
"Thank you for bringing me back."
"It's okay. Good night."
"Good night."
Kiyono Rin stood in front of the gate of the apartment building, watching Watanabe Toru's back gradually disappear under the street light. Only when she could no longer see him did she turn around and go upstairs.
