Chapter 11: Expected Successes and Unexpected Failures

The quickest response to this question was naturally Haruki Kitahara, who turned his head to look at Fuyuma and Yarn almost immediately, and even though he had a lot of experience in saving the collective from fire and water, he couldn't estimate the consequences of my provocation against Fuyuma. So, he sensitively put his body on one side between me and Fuyuma to prevent the two of us from continuing to look at each other.

I felt my sleeve being pulled slightly, which should have been the action of the senior behind me, but the force of the pull was so light, and the letting go was so fast after pulling my sleeve, that I couldn't tell whether the action of the senior was a knee-jerk reaction or the result of consideration.

However, the reaction of Kogi Yu's seniors will not be taken into account for the time being.

"Kitahara, you go away. Behind Haruki Kitahara, the deep voices of Fuyuma and Sasa rang out, like a loyal dog that reacts violently and sensitively to strangers.

"Winter Horse—"

"-Please go away!" Haruki Kitahara's simple voice of protest was immediately interrupted by an even more unmistakable voice. Behind me, I could feel a moment when Kogi's senpai's body seemed to be moving closer to me, but she quickly shrank back.

Fuyuma and Yarn stood in front of me, their slender pupils staring at me fiercely.

I just said that to maximize the anger of Fuyuma and Sasa, that guy is not good at acting, and if my cooperation with her at a critical moment arouses Kitahara Haruki's suspicions, it will be the worst thing.

Therefore, I have reason to believe that the current winter horse and yarn are talking to me with their true feelings.

"Yubihama-san, you," Fuyuma Kazusa paused, shook her eyebrows, and asked, "Do you have an opinion about me?"

"Of course it's okay, but I think with your level, you should make things go faster, don't you think? ”

"I'm not a genius. ”

"Your current weakness is not something that can be extricated by the irony that you are not a genius. Otherwise," I glanced at Kitahara, who was holding his hands uneasily behind Fuyuma, and said, "Then can I think that Kitahara-senpai is the kind of person with particularly poor qualifications?"

"Well, it's true that I'm not talented enough in this regard, and I don't work hard enough, and the problem is on my side, so Yubihama-san, that's it, and I know that I need to perform better now-" Catching the flaw I deliberately left for him, Haruki Kitahara said anxiously.

He's playing a round and sacrificing himself to end this argument, but of course, if the object of my argument now is someone like Yui who can read people's faces, the topic will indeed be over. However, Fuyuma and Yarn are people who can read people's faces, but they are particularly uncoordinated—especially when it comes to the things they care about.

So, she once again interrupted Haruki Kitahara's words of trying to extinguish the flames.

"Well, I'll admit, I have a problem. She said categorically, "I agree, I was a little contemptuous of Kitahara's training before, so you're satisfied, right?"

Even when I stood up straight, Fuyuma and Yarn could only look up at me, but her arrogant appearance gave me the illusion that the two of us were in a height alignment.

However, from the hint in her eyes, I can also roughly understand what she means: this is enough, there is no need to stimulate her anymore, her patience is limited.

"Of course, but, Fuyuma-senpai, I think you understand what I mean, it's not enough to admit your own shortcomings, and if I can, I need to see your changes - of course, I think Kitahara-senpai has already expressed his attitude just now, right?"

"Then my request is very simple, Yubihama-san, you can go out. ”

- It was a sentence that made me think that my understanding of her eyes was completely wrong. Because Fuyuma and Sasa's tone is so cold now, I think she won't have any problem if I do leave this classroom just now.

"You know it's impossible, don't you?" I said, smiling.

"Humph!"

She turned, grabbed the sheet music on the piano, and stuffed it into her bag.

"Kitahara, go!"

Fuyuma and Sasa said simply.

"Uh, Winter Pony?" Obviously, the other end didn't understand what she meant.

"Isn't that obvious? If Yubihama insists on staying here, I don't have anything to say, do I? Since he can't go, I'll have to go. ”

"Uh, so, so the club activities—"

"—so let you come with me, let's go to my house and practice. ”

"But—"

"What's the matter, is it a difficult thing to go to my house?" "Fuyuma and Sasa glanced at Haruki Kitahara.

I hope Kitahara-senpai can notice the kind of worry that flashes in her eyes while looking impatient.

"It's not like that, it's just that I always feel a little embarrassed to go to a girl's house—"

"-I don't care anymore, do you still care?" Under normal circumstances, the face of a girl who feels like this should be red, but it is also very interesting to watch Fuyuma and Sasa try to hold back their embarrassment and look at Haruki Kitahara with a cold white face as always.

"Well, in this case, I don't know if I can let Xiao Mu Shu-san-chan go with me, and it won't look very embarrassing-" Kitahara-senpai glanced at Kogi Senpai-senpai and said tentatively.

Of course, I've already told the girl across from him who is not good at refusing the answer to this situation.

"If Xiao Mu Shu also goes with him, then doesn't Yubi Hama have a better reason to follow us to observe the progress? But as long as Xiao Mu Shu doesn't leave, the club activities here are still going on, and Yubi Hama and Ya classmates don't have any excuse to follow the two of us who end the club activities and leave first, right?"

"Actually, if all three of you go to Senpai's house first, I'm helpless - but I'm still grateful that Fuyuma-senpai at least understands this aspect. ”

"So Kogi Shu, you're going to stay here and deal with that guy, right?" As if responding to my words, and as if completely ignoring my words, Fuyuma and Sasa looked at Kogi Shu senpai coldly.

"My words, no comment. What about Kitahara-san?" Kogi said the first sentence since I confronted Fuyuma.

"If Fuyuma-san, if I'm not offended by going to your house—" Haruki Kitahara nodded helplessly in agreement.

----------------------------------- dividing line---------------------------------

In every sense of the word, this battle between me and Fuyuma has been successful. From beginning to end, the conversation was actually driven by me and Fuyuma, and although Haruki Kitahara tried to interrupt the conversation several times during this time, Fuyuma and Sasa stopped him with her unique "ability to deal with Haruki Kitahara".

So the final result was that Kitahara-senpai finished packing his schoolbag and followed behind Fuyuma with a cramped expression.

It stands to reason that according to his good impression of Fuyuma, he will not put on such a bitter gourd face, he really does not clear Fuyuma and Sasa's feelings for him, and the intention of casually letting a boy go to his house, or is he just casting a long line to catch a big fish, which makes me a little unclear.

However, my goal and that of Dongma have been achieved. She got enough opportunities to be alone with Haruki Kitahara, and I, too, prevented Kogi Senpai's contact with Haruki Kitahara.

Senior Kogi almost witnessed what we had just done with a somewhat indifferent attitude. This is the conclusion I came to after Fuyuma and Kitahara left, and I looked at the eyes of Kogi Senpai who looked out the window very casually.

Although it cannot be ruled out that the predecessors adjusted to this calm appearance later.

However, unlike when we met before, this time Xiao Mu Yu's seniors didn't seem to feel that it was an important thing to take the initiative to break the embarrassing situation and provoke the topic, squinting her eyes and humming the tune of "white-album" a little smugly, she seemed to enjoy this atmosphere where no one spoke.

This is too far from what I expected. Although I'm not a person who doesn't stir up topics at all, with my current identity and my current relationship with Kogi Sao's predecessors, especially after using such a method to "force away" Fuyuma and Sasa, it's still a bit inappropriate to take the initiative to speak.

However, apparently, Xiao Mu Yu's seniors don't plan to speak first, in order to avoid the situation that the two of them sit until the end of the club activity time and then say "goodbye" to each other, which often occurs when my sister is away, I can only be the first to ask.

"The scheduled performance time of the Light Music Club, if it is only one song, it will be too much, so, have you decided on another song, senior?"

"Another song?" asked Kogi Senpai, turning around, tilting his head.

"Yes, there should be another song, right?" From just now, I felt that my predecessors had fallen into a very strange state, that kind of unpredictable, somewhat magical state.

"Another song, can't you guess it?"

"I'm sure I'll be able to guess it!"

"Because, when it comes to 'white-album', that song and it are like twins, right?"

I understand what Kogi Senpai means, if I mean a song like a twin son of "white-album".

"Rina Ogata's, "SoundofDestiny"?"

“bin-go!”

I've considered this situation before, but that's pretty much a possibility I've ruled out, because, with Haruki Kitahara's current guitar level, it's almost impossible to have a difficult guitar solo in "Sound-of-Destiny".

"Is it really Sound–of-Destiny?"

"Don't you believe Kitahara-san?" said Kogi Senpai, who glanced at me with interest.

"Standing in my identity, it's natural for me to have this kind of worry, right?"

"So Kazuya also deliberately stimulated Fuyuma-san and asked her to take Kitahara-san to special training?"

"Of course not, Fuyuma-senpai's temper is even worse than I thought! I just wanted to motivate her, but I didn't expect her reaction to be so excited. ”

"So, for such a reaction from Fuyuma-san, this is beyond Kazuya's expectations?"

"Of course, I didn't know that the other song was "Sound-of-Destiny" at the time, but if it was just the progress of preparing for "White-Album", the current Kitahara-senpai would probably be able to support a good performance of the two songs by the time the official performance was performed, right?" I replied, spreading my hands.

"Indeed, you are right. ”

"However, the relationship with the members of the club that he monitors is stiff, which is still quite troublesome, ha, I didn't expect the character of the winter horse senior to be so bad. ”

"Really, I think Fuyuma-san has behaved very well to you today! If it were to other people, I think her attitude would be a fierce reaction like 'either you go out, or our club will give up the show'. Judging by her performance now, she took the initiative to go home and practice, and asked me to stay here to give you a nominal oversight. Thinking about so many things, it doesn't look like what I think Dongba would do to someone he hates. Senior Xiao Mu Yu said slowly.

She didn't look at me, but I always felt as if she had seen everything.

"Maybe it's because I'm more or less an inspector sent by the student union? Maybe Fuyuma-senpai has a basic respect for authority?" "I didn't dare to look at Kogi-senpai-this has been the case since a long time ago, it's hard for me to lie in front of my seniors, I can be strong, but I can't lie--if I look at Kogi-senpai now, I think, maybe I can't hold on anymore."

Even now, when the relationship with the predecessors is complicated, all problems are nowhere to hide for the seniors.

"Probably too, right?, although it is said that Dongma-san, who doesn't even care much about the teacher, cares about the attitude of the student union or something, probably because he really attaches great importance to the light music club, right?"

"Probably, right?" I replied hurriedly.

Senior Kogi didn't continue to answer me, and I lost the will to continue to take the initiative to provoke the topic.

After the initial success, when faced with Yukina Kogi, I was still stuck in the quagmire as always.

I found time to write a chapter, but my body wasn't completely well, and I coughed badly, but I was able to do it. And then the code word after that, in a word, do your best, have time, and write without affecting your body (suddenly feel that you are really dead, what a new pit to open after the end of the illness, pounce and can't pounce, double open and stressful, pit yourself to death)
