110.Kanto Race (2)
"Sorry, we still have work to do." After saying a word to reporters, Rin Kiyono gave Toru Watanabe a 'follow me' look and walked towards the large team of the wind club.
"Watanabe-san!"
Toru Watanabe had just taken two steps when the reporter suddenly called out to him.
"I was joking, please don't take it seriously." He went back and explained, "Actually, my goal is to be an idol like Takuya Kimura, or to write about the ...... of both sexes, like the writer Junichi Watanabe."
"Toru Watanabe." Rin Kiyono called his full name.
Toru Watanabe had no choice but to give the reporter an apologetic look and walked over quickly.
Reporter: "......"
He just wanted to ask about Kamigawa High School's expected goals for this competition.
"You're so fond of?" Rin Kiyono said angrily.
"What's the matter, liven up the atmosphere. You see everybody is nervous, so you can relax and play at your full level. ”
Rin Kiyono glanced at him, "You are an active reporter and the atmosphere of other schools?" ”
“...... Finished! The enemy is the enemy! But forget it, the more nervous you can play at a higher level, and when you think about it, we've basically won. ”
Rin Kiyono sighed with a headache and had nothing to say to him.
The two of them walked up to the wind club, and she looked at the people whose faces turned pale with nervousness.
"We don't need to care about those strong schools, everyone keeps a normal mind, we just have to go all out to play our own music, and the results will be handed over to the judges."
"Yes!"
Simple words, of course, do not ease the heavy atmosphere.
Toru Watanabe was about to open his mouth and tell a joke when he heard someone shouting his name.
"Watanabe!"
The voice is somewhat familiar, as if it is not a reporter.
Watanabe looked for prestige, and a smile appeared on his face: "Look, look, this is not Ayako-sama!" ”
The girl who ran over was Toru Watanabe's fellow who went to high school in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Ayako Honma.
The short bob hair sets off her small round face very cute, and she looks a lot like the heroine of the short hair period.
Ayako Honma, who was holding the piccolo, thumped him hard in the chest.
"Why are you here?" She asked with a smile.
"What else can you do when you participate in the competition?"
"You?" Ayako Honma looked skeptical, "At the level at which you play the recorder and wake up the whole village, you can also participate in the competition?" ”
"You guy, it's really rude, how can the whole village be so exaggerated."
Ayako Honma raised her head as she looked up at me like this, smirking at the corners of her mouth.
"Uh-huh."
Toru Watanabe looked at Rin Kiyono, who was clearing his throat, and introduced the two of them as if he had just reacted.
"This is my senior sister from the same village, Ayako Honma. This is a friend I made in high school, Rin Kiyono. ”
"Hello!" Ayako Honma said hello with a smile.
"Honma-senpai, hello."
"Don't use honorifics, just call me Ayako like Watanabe." After speaking, Ayako Honma turned her gaze to Toru Watanabe, "This is your girlfriend?" ”
"That's right, it's my ...... Not! ”
Rin Kiyono withdrew his cold eyes, which were enough to kill people, and said to Ayako Honma, "No, he and I are just ordinary friends. ”
"I'm talking about 'female friends.'" Toru Watanabe spoke out about his grievances.
Kiyono Rin glanced at him without the slightest emotion: "Then please speak more concisely, and when others talk about girlfriends, please don't give a positive answer." ”
"Liven up the atmosphere, I've already applied with you, right?"
"Nope."
"Huh?" Toru Watanabe recalled, and it didn't seem like there really was, "I thought you could read my eyes and understand my application without speaking." ”
"The only one who understands you is the female ape-man with an uncivilized head."
Ayako Honma looked at Rin Kiyono suspiciously, this is the first time she has seen a girl with such a fierce mouth, and it really deserves to be Tokyo, there are all kinds of people.
Toru Watanabe noticed her expression, and even though Rin Kiyono himself didn't care about other people's opinions, he took the initiative to explain: "Kiyono likes to be cynical, don't take it to heart." ”
"No, I only like to do this to Watanabe-san." Rin Kiyono said with a smile as he crossed his arms.
"Why?!"
"Because you're special."
Toru Watanabe suddenly became happy, and Rin Kiyono never lies, which means that he is indeed a special existence.
"What's special?" He asked expectantly.
"Don't like me."
“......”
Looking forward to Rin Kiyono praising him, let's think about it in my dreams.
But isn't it too sad to keep facing her during the day and dream of her at night?
"Hahaha!" Ayako Honma patted Toru Watanabe on the shoulder and laughed, "I see! It's just that you're more scolded! ”
"Don't laugh and get angry, you won't be able to compete later." Toru Watanabe cursed viciously.
"Ahh I almost fell for you! It's disgusting! Ayako Honma immediately restrained her smile and said with a straight face.
"It's vicious, isn't it?"
"Disgusting."
"No, no, no, no matter how you think about it in the context just now, you use 'vicious'."
"Evil ~ heart!" Ayako Honma tilted her head and repeated in a cute tone like an idol scolding a dead house.
"Yes, yes, I see, you just want to scold me."
Ayako Honma craned her neck again, smirking smugly, when someone called her in the distance, and she turned back.
"I'll go first. By the way, what is your school number? I'm going to listen to your show after the game! ”
"Number twenty-two."
"The penultimate one, I remember. Let's work hard, dare to embarrass the village, I'll go back and sue you! After Ayako Honma finished speaking, she waved her hand and ran towards a group of people in brown school uniforms in the distance.
"You look good on paper." Rin Kiyono looked at Ayako Honma, who was talking and laughing in the crowd.
"Jealous?"
"Nope."
"My grandmother, no, my mother once told me: what a girl doesn't have is what she has."
Rin Kiyono lowered his arms, turned to the people in the wind club and said, "Everyone pack up and leave for the rehearsal room." ”
"Yes!"
"Wait, I was just playing with meme. Don't you tell me you haven't seen it? ”
"Nope."
"It's over, it's over, my friends can't do it."
"Yes."
"Of course...... No. I would never be friends with people who don't like to play with cards, but you're beautiful and honest, and I can turn a blind eye. ”
"Isn't it because the legs are good-looking?"
Toru Watanabe glanced around and said in a low voice, "There are so many people here, so don't say this kind of thing." ”
"It turns out that you really made friends with me because I have good legs, and I was so disappointed."
"Having said I was just studying the legs. Research is not the same as liking, understand? ”
"Then you tell me bluntly, do you like legs?"
"I think it's more important to play now, what do you think?" Toru Watanabe said worriedly.
Rin Kiyono sneered.
When they arrived at the rehearsal room, everyone had tuned the pitch more carefully than usual before the final practice began.
Still only the beginning of the training.
In the past, I hated boring repetition, but now I can't wait to keep practicing, like Yuzao is so beautiful before the final exam, I walked into the exam room and read the word book.
Practice time is over, and there is only time left for the competition to take the stage.
In the rehearsal room, the sound of nervous heartbeats can be heard clearly.
Rin Kiyono said to Misaki Komatsu, "Minister Komatsu, you can say a few words to everyone." ”
"Me?" Misaki Komatsu pointed at herself.
Since Rin Kiyono became a consultant, she, the minister, has only played the role of supervising training, and it is not her turn to manage the fees of the wind club.
But she doesn't care who has the right to speak, as long as the wind club can go to the good side, she can do anything.
"Hmm." Rin Kiyono nodded, "Although I believe that everyone's strength can enter the national competition, there are surprises in everything, and this may really be the last game." As a minister, and at the same time a third year who is about to retire, it is better for you to finish it at the end. ”
"If I could, I'd like to save the finishing touches until the national competition." Misaki Komatsu said jokingly, making everyone laugh.
Misaki Komatsu took a deep breath: "Everyone, until mid-June, it was unbelievable for us to even win the gold medal at the Tokyo Contest, and the Kanto Tournament was an unattainable dream. ”
She faced the crowd.
"We Kamigawa are known for our admission rate, and all of us will go to first-class universities in the future, so we have made the national competition our goal and worked hard to achieve it, I don't know what you think, anyway, I don't want to lose to those schools that don't have a high deviation value as ours."
Komatsu Misaki's eyes flashed with a light that was strong to stubbornness, which was the stubbornness of an honor student.
"Forget it if you don't work hard, since we're serious, we can't lose to anyone!" The one who opened the mouth was actually Tamamo, so beautiful.
"Yes! That's right! ”
"Kamigawa No. 1!"
"Kamigawa! Come on! ”
"Come on!"
The shouts of the members of the Kamigawa Wind Club echoed in the rehearsal room.
It's really important to think of yourself as a person.
If the first person in the grade takes the tenth exam, he will fall into pain and self-blame; The second-to-last person took the penultimate exam, and even became complacent, showing off everywhere and using it as a talking point.
Toru Watanabe insists that he must and must be an amazing person in the future.
The third grade is a hurdle that he must cross, and the first place in the country is the position he should be in; It doesn't matter if you don't work hard or anything, if you want to, you have to do better than anyone else.
This is what he asks of himself.
Toru Watanabe looked at the dark oboe in his hand, his heart beat slowly and violently, and the whole person became excited.
Originally, the national competition was dispensable for him, but now he has decided that he must win this gold medal, otherwise how can he deserve the adjective 'amazing'!
A female staff member pushed the door in: "Ladies and gentlemen of Kamigawa High School, it's your turn. ”
"Come on." Sitting next to Toru Watanabe, Hayami Smoke, who was holding Bassoon, whispered.
"I can't wait." Toru Watanabe replied with a smile.
Hayami was stunned for a moment, and then nodded gently: "I'm looking forward to Watanabe-kun's solo." ”
In addition to them, everyone else also encouraged each other, shouting and cheering, regardless of whether the relationship was good or bad.
Grab their respective music stands, and Kamigawa High School walked to the stage together.
"Next, the 22nd, the representative of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the students of the Kamigawa High School Wind Club, will play for everyone."
"The designated song is, the free song was composed by Akiichi Kawa, conductor: Rin Kiyono."
At the end of the curtain call, Toru Watanabe was already seated in his place, opened the score, put his fingers on the oboe buttons, and looked at Rin Kiyono who was standing in front.
The lights dimmed and the stage became brighter, as if a large spotlight had been hit.
The sound of swallowing saliva came from all directions, and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.
Rin Kiyono, who was expressionless, took turns looking at everyone's faces, and finally stopped at Toru Watanabe.
'Nervous? ’
Didn't I say that nervousness is the best way to play extraordinary. ’
'yes, I'm looking forward to your performance. ’
'Guaranteed to keep you satisfied. ’
Rin Kiyono retracted his gaze and raised his arms, and everyone instantly picked up their instruments.
The tip of the baton sank slightly, and the sound of everyone's inhalation passed through the mouth of the instrument, creating a huge resonance.
As the baton waved downward, the main theme sounded, and the tension disappeared without a trace.
The bass of the horn and the double bass vibrate even the ground;
The brass marches forward, the woodwinds are delicate and melodious, and the flute and clarinet come and go freely between them in the competition between the two;
Immediately afterwards, the soft sub-melody of the upper bass smoothly melts into the bottom layer of the music.
The performance is full of heat, and you rush to the finish line in one go. It's getting faster and more intense.
Slowly, everything fell silent.
But the moment the baton in Rin's hand stood still, the performance reached its climax - the oboe took over the baton.
Rin Kiyono once again set her sights on Toru Watanabe.
Toru Watanabe latched on to the reed he had made himself, and his slender fingers slid gently over the keys.
Sweet and melancholy, the gripping sound resounded throughout the concert hall.
At that moment, everyone present stood still, and their brains were violently shaken.
In the concert hall, which was dyed golden by the lights, there was nothing but silence, and only notes woven by Toru Watanabe and his oboe with a hint of melancholy melody remained.
It was as if there was a huge colorful bubble that covered the stage.
One of the judges on the judging table couldn't help but bend forward, but he didn't notice it at all.
Everyone in the Kamigawa High School Wind Club was proud.
Compared to last time, it's even more beautiful, the tone of the oboe.
This is the strength of our Kamigawa High School solo!
......
When Rin Kiyono turned around and bowed to the audience in a sweaty manner, the audience, who had been silent for a long time, was suddenly awakened and let out loud applause.
The faces of everyone in the wind club were both happy and dazed, and they had not yet recovered from the state they had just had.
After getting off the stage, Rin Kiyono said to everyone, "You can move around freely until the results are announced, but everyone must gather at the Grand Concert Hall when the results are announced." ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the disbandment was disbanded, Toru Watanabe hadn't seen Ayako Honma yet, and wanted to see Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito, who arrived at the venue later.
The two of them walked up to each other with excitement on their faces.
"Yours is yours! Watanabe! ”
"Very well played! If you can't win the gold award at this level, it will definitely be shady! ”
"Of course." Toru Watanabe smiled and said, "Kunii also brought it into Koshien, so I can't even enter the national competition, right?" ”
"Hey, do you have a conscience, I haven't come out of failure yet!" Kunii Shu wailed.
Kamigawa Baseball Club Koshien Tour, only brought back a handful of dirt on the field - the custom of the loser.
"Let's go, I'll give you a drink." Toru Watanabe patted him on the shoulder.
"That's pretty much it!"
"Is it a reimbursement for the fare to come here?" Keisuke Saito has to inch in.
"What does it have to do with you?"
