At the end of the day's classes, the students were busy with club activities and on their way home.

The enthusiastic shouts of the sports department and the sound of music club playing are respectively permeated the school, and the students have long been accustomed to such school hours.

The rain that also enjoyed the special atmosphere of school time in the corridor was on its way to the department.

On the way, he saw people around him happily chatting about where to play for a while, or chatting about the deeds of the three very familiar truant kings in the first grade.

"It seems that Naye, Tempest, and Fett won't be coming. ”

In the back of his mind, the rain will stamp the three nominal members of his ministry with the mark of non-attendance.

"Nagase-san. ”

Suddenly, someone stopped the rain that was walking towards the old school building, and he looked back to see a mature woman walking towards him with three teaching books.

"Ibuki-sensei, what's the matter?"

Ibuki Kimi, who is the art teacher of the rain family, is also the consultant teacher of the rain school.

"Didn't the lock in Nagase's department break before? I just found someone to change the lock today, and I handed you the key, remember to put it back in the staff room after the event. ”

"Got it, I'll take care of it. ”

Ibuki-sensei handed the key to Rain's hand and explained some trivial matters before turning away, but after walking a few steps, he turned back again.

"Thank you so much Nagase-san for keeping the Musical Instrument Research Department. ”

"No, I'm interested in this one. It's just to help the teacher solve your troubles by the way, and I want to ask the teacher for more advice as to the department's funds and future club activities. ”

"I feel like I'm more like an adult than us, Nagase-san, and men like this are still quite popular. But as you can see, you already have a lot of options. ”

Mr. Ibuki's ambiguous smile obviously thought of the fact that all the girls in the club were girls except for Yuichi.,In the face of such rain, I can only respond with a wry smile.。

"Then I'll go first, teacher. ”

"Thank you teacher. ”

After separating from Mr. Ibuki, Rain can't help but think of what happened to the club not long ago.

It was about three weeks after the start of school, and it was still the propaganda period for the old clubs to recruit new people, and the rain at that time, who was not interested in the sports department and the cultural department clubs, naturally ignored it.

The people around him are basically the same as him, after all, there are not many of his acquaintances who are free after school, and even if they are interested in clubs, they don't have the strength to participate. Look at the three of them, even if they join this club now, the number of days to attend is only a short week, and it is only seven days after two months.

However, at this time, he found that there was also a teacher holding a recruitment sign in the student group ceremony, and because the teacher himself came out to enroll, Yu approached curiously.

"Are you interested in joining the Musical Instrument Research Department?"

At that time, Mr. Ibuki attracted Rain's interest with such a sentence, and his main interest was that the recruitment card said, "I know all about the history, origin, and playing of musical instruments, and I will become a master of musical instruments to teach others the beauty of music." Such a slogan.

"Old ...... Isn't this club not a band or something, but a musical instrument?"

"Yes, the Instrument Research Department is a department that studies the instrument itself and learns the instrument itself and acquires the ability to teach the instrument. ”

"I don't think ordinary people can do it......

"Well, so the requirements for the members are more demanding and demanding. ”

When Ibuki-sensei said this, his expression couldn't help but turn gray.

"However, the history of the ministry is also very good, and the former members have learned at least two musical instruments, and they have tried to perform at cultural festivals. ”

It's rare for Ibuki-sensei to see someone interested, so he tries very hard to elaborate on the benefits and glorious deeds, but Rain is more concerned about another issue.

"Is there any remaining records and notes for teaching musical instruments in the teacher's department?"

"Yes, every year there are two types of cultural festival activities. During the day, the activities will be taught to play musical instruments and let the guests experience the music, and then in the second half of the day, they will perform on stage to perform the propaganda activities. ”

Rain thought about it for a moment, maybe this society would be of some use to him, and let him gain some experience in case he could teach some idiot in the future.

"Teacher, I want to participate in this part, but how many seniors are in the department? ”

Rain picked up the application form and asked for information casually, but he couldn't get an answer from Ibuki-sensei for a long time. When he looked up at Ibuki-sensei, he noticed that she was looking up at the sky with her hands folded, looking very moved.

When Yu saw the teacher's expression and why the teacher came out to promote the club in person, he immediately thought of a possibility.

"Teacher...... Isn't there anyone in the club anymore?"

"Classmate, what's your name?"

Ibuki-sensei's non-answering pattern added to Rain's uneasiness, but he still obediently said his name.

"Rain Nagase, is a student in Class B of the year you taught. ”

"Ahh It turns out that I was your teacher, so I'm sorry I didn't recognize it. ”

Ibuki-sensei apologizes to Rain in a panic, and Rain casually waves his hand to show that he doesn't care.

"Then Nagase-san, congratulations! You're now the head of the Instrumental Research Department, so let's recruit new members with the teacher. ”

In this way, the rain unknowingly walked on the thief ship.

After that, of course, he couldn't find a new recruit for his life, so Rain had to use his network. At first, he slowly started to find two friends, Yoshino and Mahiro, but in the end, only those girls were willing to join his club, so there are only two kinds of people in the current instrument research department.

One is already proficient in certain musical instruments, and the other is completely uninterested in music.

As the minister, Rain is worried about whether Alicia, Tempest, and Naye will be able to learn a musical instrument before they need to perform on stage.

"If you can't do it then, let them clap the castanets and drums. ”

As he thought this, Yu came to the ministry, and when he opened the door, he saw only one sitting at the piano...... Suzuka looking at a book.

"You...... Why do you sit in front of the piano and you are not ready to play the piano, but to read a book? ”

Seeing this situation, Rain couldn't help but vomit, Suzuka closed the book and turned her head to smile at Rain, this smile shocked Rain's heart.

In the quiet and old space, a beautiful girl sits in front of the piano and smiles softly at you, which is impeccable with her beauty.

After all, Suzuka's current beauty is something that few men can resist, and if it weren't for the fact that Yu had already gotten used to this beauty, he might not have been able to recover his soul by now.

"Xiaoyu is just us today. ”

"No, where did Alyssa and Alicia go?"

"They were called away by the canary, as if they had been given a task to the two of them, and the two of us were on standby. ”

Suzuka walked from the piano chair to the table in the middle of the room, took out two cups, and poured the black tea she had prepared into the cups.

"Thank you. ”

Rain hung his schoolbag on the table and took the black tea handed by Suzuka, although he was not much of a tea taster, but he still liked the black tea made by Suzuka.

"It's rare that there are only two people, don't you say something interesting?"

Suzuka sat down on the front of the rain and said, but the rain ignored her and began to look at the method and principle of making the celesta.

"Speaking of which, the rain never told us why we wanted to go into this department. ”

"I've said how many times Ibuki-sensei asked for it, so I reluctantly followed. ”

"But looking at the attendance rate of the rain in the ministry and the appearance of reading the books here don't look like they were forced. ”

Suzuka saw through exactly what Yu's words didn't match, but Yu didn't explain much, and every time he responded to the girls' questions with silence.

If it were a normal day, Alicia, who knew the inside story, would have started to change the subject, but unfortunately she wasn't here today.

"Do you want to teach important people or something?"

"I wanted to teach someone who loved music. ”

"It's a girl. ”

“……”

Rain didn't answer, he didn't tell the girls around him about Yetian until now, and as for Alicia, he didn't specifically issue a prohibition order, but Alicia herself also has self-control.

"One day, I want to teach her to play an instrument and hear her singing again. ”

The rain prays from the bottom of her heart for this day to come, and Suzuka elegantly sipps black tea and ponders who the person she likes is now.
