Lunch break the next day.

"Watanabe, where are you going?"

"I have something to do, you eat first." Toru Watanabe explained to Keisuke Saito and left the classroom.

He held a dictated trumpet note in his hand.

It's too dangerous to hand it over to Mai Tomorrow alone, so it's the best time to take a lunch break when there are many people.

As for Kujou Miki's side, it's okay to say that it's a borrowed study note or music theory note, but it probably can't escape the ending of being "cleaned up".

The school building during the lunch break is full of people.

By the window of the corridor, a man and a woman chatted to the atrium; On the way to the second-grade floor, I saw a group of girls sitting on the stairs eating sandwiches and drinking milk.

When I arrived at the third grade floor, the atmosphere was obviously different from that of the lower grades.

Even during the lunch break, they basically stay in their seats to read, and some classrooms even climb all the tables to take a nap to replenish their energy for afternoon and evening study.

Toru Watanabe walked to the door of the classroom in the second class of the third year.

In this class, he saw many familiar faces from the wind club, and they immediately recognized Toru Watanabe.

A senior sister closest to the door walked over, wiped her mouth with a tissue in her hand, and said in surprise: "Watanabe-kun? Something to do here? ”

The island country is a country where the system of seniors and seniors is so strict that foreigners are surprised, so if a year-old student is not necessary, he will never appear in the corridor of the third grade.

Without waiting for Toru Watanabe to answer, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her, answering her question.

"Watanabe is here to find me."

The senior sister was caught off guard, startled by the coldness in her voice, thinking that someone was trying to trouble her.

When she turned around, she was relieved to see that it was Mai Tomorrow.

"It turned out to be you tomorrow, you talk."

The senior sister happily returned to her seat and continued to eat the lunch, not seeing the cold gaze that Mai would see her tomorrow.

Waiting for the senior sister to sit down, Mai Tomorrow looked at Toru Watanabe, and her eyes softened for a moment: "Is there anything to find me, Toru?" ”

"How did Senior Sister know that I was looking for you?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.

Could it be that she has also awakened some great ability?

"Telepathy." Tomorrow Mai said while holding her stomach.

“...... Senpai, the heart is on the top. ”

Mai Tomorrow shook her head slightly, still holding her stomach: "She told me, this is the induction between mother and daughter." ”

Toru Watanabe didn't ask who 'she' was, let alone what 'mother and daughter' meant.

"Senior sister, this is for you." He handed the note over.

Mai Tomorrow took the note casually, looked at Toru Watanabe with clear eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Are you going to the toilet?" It's black today. ”

"......" Toru Watanabe pointed to the note, "Don't you see what it is?" ”

"What?" Mai Tomorrow echoed as if she were fully coping with an errand.

"After the national competition, I asked for a trumpet note from a judge who appreciated my request, and that judge was a professional trumpet player."

"Shinto Masawa?"

"Well, that's him."

Mai Tomorrow showed a faint doubt, and said to herself: "Or Shogo Kondo?" ”

“...... I don't know, but the surname Jindo should be correct. Watanabe digressed the subject, "This is my handwriting, and others will definitely not give it to me, and it won't be so new." ”

Mai Tomorrow's clear and intoxicating eyes blinked twice, and then she hugged the note to her chest, and her soft cherry lips pressed lightly on it: "Thank you." ”

"It's good if Senior Sister likes it."

Toru Watanabe was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, senior sister, where are you going on a school trip?" ”

"It's not decided yet."

In this way, if the senior sister is confessed, what kind of environment and what kind of occasion do you want to be in? For example, do you mind if someone is watching? ”

Mai Tomorrow tilted her head slightly in confusion, and her long black hair slid down her shoulders with her movements.

Then, she seemed to suddenly understand something, and her expression changed.

Most of her delicate face is buried behind the notebook, but the clear and charming eyes have become a beautiful crescent.

Toru Watanabe has seen her excited, selfless, confused, intoxicated and other expressions, but she has never seen such a happy one, and it is very beautiful.

Wait, now isn't the time to look good or not?!

"Senior sister, don't get me wrong, I don't have any plans for that or that!" He hurriedly explained.

"Hmm." Mai Tomorrow nodded slightly, her face still buried behind her notebook, but just looking at her eyes, you knew that she was smiling happily now.

It's over, it's over.

Why do you want to talk too much?

Now Mai Tomorrow doesn't listen to him explain at all, if she tells her about Kui Ichagi, maybe she can barely clear up the misunderstanding.

But he will never do this, even if Kui Yimu has a normal relationship with him.

Toru Watanabe is not someone who divulges other people's secrets.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, I really don't have ......"

"I'm looking forward to it from now on."

"No, you listen to me......"

"I'll pretend I don't know, you can arrange it as much as you want."

"Wait, there's really ...... in this"

"What kind of underwear do you like? I'll wear it on the day. By the way, can you tell me one day? The specific time is not needed. ”

“...... I don't know what you're talking about, senior sister. Watanabe was expressionless.

Tomorrow Mai looked at Toru Watanabe with loving and doting eyes: "Toru, no matter what you say that day, I will promise you." ”

Boys who believe this kind of thing are all fools.

Toru Watanabe dared to guarantee that if he said, 'Senpai, let's stop here', Mai Tomorrow would definitely treat today's promise as if it hadn't happened.

"I'm back to eat."

"Hmm."

Tomorrow Mai holds the notes and watches Toru Watanabe's back disappear at the top of the stairs because he was surprised to see through it.

When she returned to the classroom, a couple of good girls asked her, "What is this?" Study notes? ”

“...... It's nothing. Tomorrow Mai replied coldly, putting the notes in a separate compartment of the school bag.

Toru Watanabe, who lamented that he would lose too much, returned to the classroom of four classes a year with the strength to do so.

Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito were reading a magazine about school trips.

"Where?" Seeing him come in, Kunii asked.

"Life is difficult, do it and cherish it."

"I don't understand what you're saying at all." The two shook their heads in bewilderment.

Toru Watanabe had no idea of explaining, and he took the magazine from the two of them.

[The purpose of the study trip is to learn, so that students can learn knowledge from the trip. 】

[It is divided into several categories depending on the content of the study.] 】

[For example, if you study history, you will visit historical sites and learn about history.] This type of trip is mostly to cities such as Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo. 】

[In addition, there are forest study trips, agricultural study trips, and seaside study trips to experience nature.] 】

[But with the passage of time, the study trip is more like a pure trip, and the word study has not been abandoned, which is undoubtedly ......]

The following is a large section of social reflection, Toru Watanabe skipped and turned two pages back.

【Survey on High School Students' Study Trip Destinations】

[(Chart)]

【For students in the Kansai region (2 prefectures and 4 prefectures), Kyushu, Tokyo, and Koshin-Etsu (Yamanashi, Nagano, and Niigata prefectures) are the first choices for school trips. Among them, the number one destination for students in Kyoto Prefecture is Tokyo. 】

【Student ...... in Hokkaido】

【Student ...... in Kyushu】

[For students in Tokyo, Kyoto is the first choice, and Kyushu, Nara, and Okinawa are the second choices. 】

[The above is J-Town's survey of school travel destinations in recent years, and the following is an introduction to famous spots in each ......]

"Watanabe, how's it going, have you figured out where to go?" Osamu Kunii asked.

"As long as you don't go to Kyoto." Toru Watanabe closed the magazine, and the cover was a group photo of him in Nara during a school trip.

"Why? I really want to see the maple leaves and the monuments. Keisuke Saito took the magazine and flipped to the page on Kyoto's attractions.

"It's because going to Kyoto is too old-fashioned, right? In order to show your character, you are ready to deliberately choose a city that no one cares about? Osamu Kunii guessed.

"Show your character...... When I was you. ”

Toru Watanabe's only reason why he didn't want to go to Kyoto: the night before the national competition, while eating udon, he promised Kumiko that the next time they met, he would give her a math notebook.

The next time he thought about meeting: After graduating from high school, Kumiko came to Tokyo.

At that time, it doesn't matter if she forgets about the math notebook, the key is that it is useless, so she can justifiably not write it.

What if I go to Kyoto on this school trip?

Wait, the magazine said that the first choice for school trips in Kyoto Prefecture is Tokyo...... Is there a good chance that Kumiko will come to Tokyo?

I knew I wouldn't add line!

I hope Kumiko doesn't contact herself, saying that she invited her to eat udon noodles last time, and this time when she comes to Tokyo, she must return the favor and invite him to eat Ichiran ramen or something.

It's said that 'it's fun to have friends from afar', but if you want to organize your math notes, forget it.

Silently praying to the god of Kiyono in his heart, Watanabe asked, "Which city are you two going to vote for?" ”

"Kyoto." Keisuke Saito said without thinking.

"Babyuchi City." This is Osamu Kunii's answer.

Even with Toru Watanabe's memory, the number one geography in the country, I only know that this city is located in Niigata Prefecture, but it is not clear exactly where it is located and what its characteristics are.

"Ikeda-san, where are the girls going?" Toru Watanabe asked Kazumi Ikeda, who was looking at each other's phone screens with girls in the front row.

Hearing his question, Kazumi Ikeda whispered to several other girls for their opinions, and said, "Nara." I want to see deer, and I want to eat deer hot pot and venison sashimi! ”

"You like deer too much, don't you?" Osamu Kunii thought he had made a very good joke.

"You have to take care of it! Deer are meant to be seen and eaten! Kazumi Ikeda replied angrily, thinking that Osamu Kunii was mocking them for not having the kindness and weakness of girls.

"Like? Hmmm—I don't see it. Toru Watanabe said, "But it sounds cruel." ”

"Watanabe-kun hates it! How can we be cruel! The girls giggled and laughed so happily.

Keisuke Saito patted Osamu Kunii on the shoulder, which was comforting.

After a brief sampling, Watanabe was relieved to learn that there were serious differences in the location of the school trip and that Kyoto did not seem to be a popular choice.

As for whether he will go to the same place with Mai Tomorrow, he can only resign himself to fate - because of Kiyono and Kujo, he doesn't dare to deliberately affect the class selection.

Only by going with the flow can you fish in troubled waters in the competition between the two eldest ladies.

"It's class." The history teacher walked in with a book.

Everyone went back to their seats and took their seats.

"The first group, come up."

Toru Watanabe walked up with a USB flash drive and opened the PPT made by the girl.

It must be clarified that this matter has nothing to do with whether he is handsome or not.

In group projects, if a girl does a PPT, the boy is responsible for reading on the podium and answering the teacher's questions. If the boys do it, the girls will go on stage.

"Because the last class ended suddenly, the group was very curious about what the teacher said, 'I killed people in my dreams', so the character chosen was Cao Cao."

"First of all, on the point of 'killing people in my dreams', this group has the following thoughts."

"One, Cao Cao himself had the experience of assassinating Dong Zhuo while he was asleep; Second, at this time, Cao Cao was in power, the wolves were looking at him, and his position was not stable, so he said that he was ......"

The boys are very interested in historical anecdotes and listen very carefully;

The girl listened to Toru Watanabe's soft voice, which was not very energetic, and stared at his face brightly;

The history teacher stroked the stubble on his chin and nodded occasionally at the fancy PPT.

Time passed class by class, and in a blink of an eye, it was Friday, October 30th.

Before school, Koizumi Ona held a class meeting and talked about the school trip.

"The time is from next Tuesday and lasts for four days and three nights. On the first day, the whole class acted collectively, on the second day the groups acted separately, on the third day we acted individually, and on the last day, Friday, we had to go back to school early in the morning and then we would leave school directly. ”

"Oh——!!!"

"Great!"

"Counting Saturday and Sunday, isn't that possible to play for six days in a row?!"

Looking at the excited students, Koizumi reminded him, "Have fun while playing, but don't forget to study hard when you're studying." ”

"Yes—" everyone replied in a long, relaxed tone.

"Next is the location, this time you can only choose the country, and only the second year of high school can ...... abroad" Koizumi Kina didn't finish speaking, and the cheers from the next class interrupted her.

It should be that the third class has just learned the schedule of the school trip from the teacher.

Koizumi Kina smiled and waited for the next class to quiet down before continuing: "This time, the first grade can only be elected domestically, and the voting time is next Monday morning. ”

"Also, because the wind club has won the national gold and the mock exam results are good, the principal has decided to waive the travel fee this time, and everyone only needs to bring pocket money and accommodation fees."

Instead of being grateful, everyone scolded the principal for being stingy.

Everyone was upset for Toru Watanabe, saying that if he worked so hard, he would forget about the other classes, and at least reimburse the accommodation fee for the fourth class.

The classroom was in a mess, and Koizumi Kina said 'quiet' several times before everyone's excited mood calmed down.

"This time we will spend three nights outside, so remember to bring a change of clothes. Also, private clothes are not allowed, and school uniforms or school sports clothes must be worn. ”

"Yes—"

"After you go out, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, you are wearing the school uniform of Kamigawa High School, you can't cause trouble to the school."

"Yes—"

"Finally, tomorrow is Halloween Eve, and the school rules: You must not go to Shibuya, you know?"

"Yes—"

"Why?" Toru Watanabe's voice was very abrupt in the uniform 'yes'.

Obviously there was nothing funny, but the girls in the class laughed and looked back at him.

Koizumi Kina couldn't help but laugh and explained, "Because Shibuya was in chaos that day, there were all kinds of people, and it was too early for you. ”

"I'm just going to go go-karting."

"That's even worse, it's too dangerous. Stay home honestly, you know? ”

"Okay."
