Because Sister Rina resisted fiercely, Toru Watanabe had to pretend to go to the toilet and leave the backstage full of misunderstandings.

Rin Kiyono followed for some reason.

But it doesn't matter, it's not the first time the two have gone to the toilet together.

"Kiyono-san, because of you, Tokyo's face is lost in Kyoto."

"I think it's the face of Iwate Prefecture that Iwate is lost, what do you think, Watanabe-san?"

"The island country is one, so why divide Iwate and Tokyo."

Rin Kiyono was already hopeless about 'Toru Watanabe's reflection', and she said, "It's a rare opportunity, so let's stand up when you play a solo later." ”

"Yes, why?"

"I've lost in character, and I have to win it back somewhere else."

"I see." Toru Watanabe nodded, "Look at me, definitely let them kneel." ”

"What if not? You ran back to Tokyo? ”

"Hey, Kiyono-san, you're very wrong today, why are you more poisonous than usual? The way you do that makes me like it even more. ”

"If you like to be scolded, I can satisfy you with as many sentences as you want."

“......”

Looking at Toru Watanabe, who was speechless, Rin Kiyono showed a pleasant smile, and suddenly frowned again: "Your sleeve." ”

"Sleeves?" Toru Watanabe raised his hand and looked at his sleeve: "What's wrong?" ”

“...... Don't you feel messy? ”

"Okay." After moving the instrument just now, Toru Watanabe casually put down the cuffs, which didn't look as neat as before, but it wasn't messy.

Rin Kiyono put his hand on his forehead and let out a sigh that he couldn't do anything.

She reached out directly and grabbed Toru Watanabe's right hand and carefully arranged the cuffs as they were before carrying the instrument, no, better.

Watching Rin Kiyono slowly flip his sleeves, Toru Watanabe suddenly felt a warm current flow in his heart.

"That, thank you." He said somewhat unnaturally.

"Left hand." Rin Kiyono didn't understand the young man's touched heart at all.

After arranging both sleeves, she nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "It's finally comfortable to see." ”

After expressing her thoughts, she turned around and walked into the women's bathroom a little faster than usual.

Is it really to go to the toilet?

Toru Watanabe, who stayed in place, didn't feel anything, but he came and went, so he could only stop by the way.

******

"I'm sick of it! Sick of it! Sick of it! ”

"What the hell is going on with that man! Inexplicably, the character is inevitably too bad! ”

"Worse than trash! Yes! I'm angry! Sick of it! ”

Looking at Reina, who was stomping her feet and roaring, because the volume was too loud, Kumiko smiled bitterly and bowed to the stunned Kita Uji and the others to apologize.

Green Radiance and Hazuki, who had never seen Rina like this, were also so frightened that they kept blinking.

After scolding angrily for a while, Rina let out a big breath of joy, and then grabbed Kumiko's hand and pressed it to her chest.

"Kumiko!"

"Huh? Well, I'm in! ”

"Gotta make that guy look good!"

"Hmmm! But...... How do you make him look good? You can't beat him, can you? ”

"What are you thinking? Of course, it was to completely crush him on the show! ”

"Good!" Kumiko nodded vigorously.

"Midori is here to help, too!" Lu Hui clenched his fists, and his heels couldn't help but rise, "I didn't expect that person to be so nasty!" ”

"Me too!" Hazuki shouted without much confidence.

"Thank you." Rina smiled and said, "Let's make him look good together!" ”

"However, Sister Lina is really big." Kumiko exclaimed as she felt the bulge in her chest.

"Kumiko!" Rina pressed her hand, and the five fingers of Kumiko's hand overlapped.

"It hurts! Hurt! Rina - it hurts! ”

Kita Uji was the second to play, behind Lihua.

All 81 members of the wind band were on the stage, and there were no more people standing on the square stage, and after the members of the trumpet and trombone were lined up on it, there were no empty seats.

Kumiko held a musical instrument and stood under the stage, her eyes searching the audience.

There were a lot of people, but she quickly found Toru Watanabe, who was standing at the corner of the stairs.

Confirming that the target was present, Kumiko turned her head to look at Midori Hui.

She is petite, holding a huge double bass and nodding firmly at Kumiko, looking even cuter, completely a schoolboy.

Kumiko looked at Hazuki again, she didn't notice Kumiko's gaze, she looked restless, probably so nervous that she forgot to make the boy look good.

Finally, there is Reina.

Engrossed, with his head raised and his chest straight, his trumpet clenched in his hand, like a knight holding a sword, his gaze was not the score, but the stinky rascal from Tokyo.

'For Reina, come on!' Kumiko took a deep breath and carefully felt the bulging and contraction of her lungs.

Kita Uji's advisor Taki Sheng bowed to the audience, and the noise in the station slowly settled.

It wasn't until the room was completely silent that Takisheng raised his baton, and at the same time, Kumiko picked up the upper bass horn from her knees.

The white baton shook slightly, and Kumiko immediately sent her breath into the mouthpiece.

Kita-Uji's self-selected song for the Wind Music Competition ——, played slowly at Kyoto Station.

The piece smoothly transitions to the second movement.

Here it is. Kumiko's heart tightened.

When it comes to the highlight of the second movement, it has to be the solo of the trumpet, that is, the part of Lina, which is a one-on-one duel.

Taki's eyes were closed, the baton danced softly, and from Reina's trumpet, there were delicate and gentle notes.

Her voice is so shiny that it makes people feel excited. Kumiko closed her eyes and was intoxicated.

After the solo, Kumiko had already put her lips to the mouthpiece of the upper bass, and she desperately played the part she was responsible for.

Rina must not be held back, to make that guy from Tokyo look good, this is her only thought now.

As a performer, before they had time to feel it carefully, the performance was already over, and Kita Uji received an enthusiastic response from the audience, and saw them off with thunderous applause.

"Looks good!"

"There shouldn't be any shame, right?"

"No matter how many performances I make, I'm always nervous, and I don't know how well I'm blowing!"

Kumiko listened to the other members of the department in a daze, and someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.

"Kumiko, I'm going to see Kamigawa's performance."

Kumiko was startled, and when she looked back, Rina was looking at herself with a case containing a trumpet, and Midori and Hazuki were also behind her.

"Sorry, I didn't come back from the game."

"Let's go! Midori can't wait! ”

"I said, Xiaolu, you must have forgotten about revenge, right? We're not here to see a show! Hazuki said.

"Little Green hasn't forgotten!"

In the quarrel between the two, Kumiko lifted her instrument case, and her palm was immediately strangled by the lift.

I'm really envious.,Rich Tokyo High School.,I really want North Uji to have his own school bus.。

The stairs in front of the stage were already crowded, and when Kumiko and the others arrived, they couldn't find a seat at all, so they could only stand and watch.

Midori was too short to see anything even if she stood on tiptoe, so Kumiko and the three of them had to use her body as a wall to open up a position with a decent view for her.

On stage, the girls of Kamigawa High School wear school uniforms and pleated skirts, while the boys wear trousers that are pure black and have a negative aesthetic.

Kumiko remembered the crow on their school bus.

"It's that person, right?!" There were passers-by and girls talking around.

"That's right! The last time he appeared on TV, he said that his goal was to become the prime minister of the island country! ”

"It's so funny, but it's so handsome!"

"Didn't you listen to the guest expert on the news that he has a hope of becoming prime minister!"

"Really?"

Kumiko and the others couldn't help but look at the girl, although they didn't hear the name, but 'very handsome', it's the hooligan, right?

Although the character is poor, it cannot be denied that in the hearts of Kumiko, 'that person = handsome'.

But what does it look like to be prime minister? Not a virtuoso?

The girl continued: "The TV has specifically investigated his identity, and it is said that he was admitted to a private high school in Tokyo from a country school that was about to be abandoned, and he was admitted to a private high school in Tokyo by self-study, and his academic performance was definitely the kind that could be admitted to the University of Tokyo. ”

"Wow, that's amazing! But when you were born in the countryside, it's a bit difficult to be the prime minister, right? ”

"Perseverance, smart, and handsome!"

"That's right!" The other girl easily echoed her companion's point of view.

"And oh," the girl whispered, "it is said that his girlfriends, and his friends, are all former aristocrats, and now chaebols, and there are seats in the family for various districts!" ”

"Really?!"

"I heard that it wasn't reported in the news, but listening to the angry tone of the expert, it seems that he really thinks that he may become the prime minister, it should be true!"

"Why are the experts angry?" Hazuki asked familiarly.

The girl glanced at her, and didn't care whether she recognized her or not, and explained:

Experts say that today's smart people are all thinking about entering the University of Tokyo, and then going into politics and mixed financial circles, giving up science and culture. Experts also concluded that if the young generation of the island nation continues like this, it will be finished sooner or later! ”

"The experts make sense!" Ye Yue nodded approvingly.

Kumiko would like to say that not all smart people have the conditions to target the prime minister.

However, he can really be the prime minister......

She looked at Rina and said with a low smile, "What should I do, it's the prime minister, do we still want to make him look good?" ”

Rina looked at her angrily: "Are you going to betray me?" ”

"Of course not." Kumiko shook her head firmly.

"That's good!" Rina nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm not going to vote for him!"

“...... This one? ”

Reina's surprised look with long lips was so cute that Kumiko couldn't help but rub her face with her face.

"I'll always be on Reina's side." She whispered.

"Hmm." Rina also rubbed Kumiko's face with her face.

"It's time to start!" Green Glow's words brought everyone's attention back to the stage.

The high school where everyone can be admitted to Imperial University is really different, they hold their heads high, and look at the conductor and the audience with their eyes like torches.

In particular, the oboe musician sitting in front of the conductor has an awe-inspiring confidence that strikes everyone with a strong sense of oppression.

"What to do, I look at that guy now, it's like seeing the prime minister." Kumiko grabbed Reina's hand and whispered.

Rina Hui took Kumiko's hand and said nothing, quietly waiting for Kamikawa's performance.

The staff who served as the emcee began to announce the curtain: "The following performance is from Kamigawa Private High School in Tokyo, and they are also one of the 29 teams that entered the national competition this year, and the repertoire is: . ”

Kumiko and Rina subconsciously glanced at each other, they who had been exposed to wind music since childhood, of course they knew this song.

Akiichi Kawa produced, a piece that was almost decided by the oboeist as good or bad.

Kamigawa High School chose this piece and became the seed team recognized by the Kanto representative and judges, which shows that the oboe player has unimaginable strength.

Kumiko subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing that the performance hadn't started yet, as if she had already lost half of it.

She stole her gaze at Reina, her crystal eyes staring motionless at the stage, her breathing slightly rapid.

'Is it possible for Rina to be nervous too?' After subconsciously thinking like this, Kumiko smiled bitterly, it's not a matter of course that people will be nervous.

At this time, the beautiful girl surnamed Kiyono on the stage waved her baton, and the low and awe-inspiring music intertwined into a cold winter melody, and the quiet music flowed in the venue.

Just when Kumiko was immersed, the hand held with Rina suddenly tightened, and then, the instruments on the stage suddenly quieted down.

As most of the people put down their instruments, the guy who claimed to be a fan of Rina stood up.

'Here we are! Kumiko held her breath.

The moment the first note came out of the black woodwind, Kumiko's brain felt like a punch, and the obviously very gentle timbre vibrated the air and penetrated her eardrums.

Kyoto Station was big and tall, and every time she stood here, Kumiko felt like the four thousand pieces of glass above her head as far away as the sky, but at this moment, they, the glasses, seemed to be slowly falling, and they wanted to listen to the beautiful sound a little closer.

After a few moments of softly whispered calm notes, clarinets and brass suddenly joined, and the scale of the music became magnificent.

Each note shines brightly, giving birth to a melodious melody.

'Spring is coming! Obviously, many people have never heard this song, but they immediately understand the artistic conception.

It's so expressive!

Light melodies, slowly accelerating rhythms, pleasant notes, bouncing on the stage.

All of them were really good, but the audience couldn't take their eyes off the woodwinder who was standing, his fingers dazzlingly fast, and he kept emitting a heart-pounding, sweet sound.

Kumiko's breathing became difficult, and she clutched the costume on her left chest.

The moment the last note sounded, there was not a single footstep in the entire station.

After a brief moment of silence, applause rang out that almost shattered glass, and the sound resounded throughout the station building, echoing through the building.

Kumiko sighed deeply, only to realize that she had been holding her breath for a while.

"That's the level of that rascal." Rina muttered to herself.

"It's amazing!" Ye Yue, who was standing on the side, turned red, and looked at the stage almost fanatically.

On the contrary, it was Lu Hui, who was a fan of the school, holding his cheeks contentedly, and sighed lazily in a low voice: "Ah, today is really a perfect day, Xiao Lu has nothing else to ask for." ”

Kumiko looked at the Kamigawa Wind Band, which was bathed in the spotlight and was about to leave: "Is this our opponent in the national competition?" ”

"Kumiko!" Noticing the loss in her tone, Rina held her face with both hands, "Now is not the time to give up!" ”

“..... Well, I see. "Kumiko can't be as confident as Reina.

With Lina's trumpet, she is also very strong among high school students in the country, but she can't do it, she can't even compare to the third-grade senior sister.

"Kumiko," Rina saw her friend's emotion, and she pressed her forehead to it, "Three years, we have three years, and we will definitely be able to surpass them!" ”

Her long hair fluttered in front of her eyes, and the soft touch through the fabric cheered up Kumiko.

An impulse welled up in her heart, her throat was itching, and she couldn't tell whether it was joy or shame, and Kumiko said to Rina in a low voice and firmly:

"I'm going to do the game!"

"Hmm!" Rina happily let go of Kumiko, "Sooner or later, one day, we will use our strength to make that guy apologize for his frivolity!" ”

"I feel him
