109.Kanto Race (1)
At noon on the third day of the training camp, after the ensemble.
"That's the end of the training camp. When you go back today, you can go straight home. ”
"Yes!"
Rin Kiyono looked around, his gaze resting on Toru Watanabe, whose eyelids kept falling.
"Tomorrow will continue to be high-intensity, so it's best to stay home and rest, there are only five days left before the Kanto Tournament, so don't want to sleep while practicing."
"Yes!"
"Watanabe-san?"
"There's a reason I've been dozing off today." Toru Watanabe lifted his foot, "There was a mosquito that kept 'buzzing' yesterday, and I was in order to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Rin Kiyono had already retracted his gaze: "Disband." ”
"......" Toru Watanabe forgot that this woman could see through lies.
'NPCs have more powerful skills than players, and sure enough, something went wrong. With a grumble, Toru Watanabe cheered up and began to pack up the music stand and chairs.
Carrying musical instruments and packing luggage, the wind club took the school bus back to Shinjuku City to end the three-day and two-night intensive training.
Toru Watanabe, who goes to bed late and gets up early every day and insists on exercising, feels physically and mentally exhausted just because he went to the girls' dormitory at night and crawled on the ground for a while.
After kicking off his shoes at will, walking into the entrance, turning on the air conditioner, and sitting down on the ground, Toru Watanabe groaned in satisfaction.
The two goldfish that were caught in the fish tank at the summer festival were already dead, with their swollen bellies facing upward.
Toru Watanabe stared at it for a while, then slowly took out his phone and took a photo, sending it to Miki Kujou.
[Passed away]
[Got it]
Five days passed quickly, and the time quickly reached the afternoon of the day before the Kanto Tournament.
In preparation for tomorrow's game, the training was over in the afternoon.
Toru Watanabe returns to the rental house and receives a delivery from his hometown, a duck.
The ducks were raised by his father in the rice fields, and he originally wanted to wait for him to go back and eat them, but because of the wind club, he stayed in Tokyo for the whole summer.
"The ducks that eat weeds and pests have been killed, which means that the rice harvest is about to be made." Toru Watanabe stared at the duck tied up with five flowers and muttered to himself.
In the blink of an eye, he had a headache, and killing ducks from scratch was a very tedious task, bloodletting, plucking, etc.
But it's not realistic to raise ducks or sell them.
After thinking about it, Toru Watanabe took out his phone.
"What's the matter?" Miki Kujo's voice came.
"My hometown sent me a duck, do you want to come to me for dinner in the evening?" If there is a guest, the host has the motivation to toss the kitchen.
"Ducks?" Kujou Miki was stunned for a moment, "What are you sending this kind of thing for?" Where is not? ”
"Inada duck is a bit of a rarity for the average Tokyo citizen, isn't it? To come? ”
"Do you want me to go to you?" Kujou Mihime's tone was contemptuous and ambiguous.
"Hey, don't think crooked. I'm purely a person who doesn't want to handle ducks at all, and I'm motivated to cook if you come to eat. ”
"Is that so?"
"Of course. If there are no guests, who would go to the trouble of killing a duck? I don't have the dirty idea that my girlfriend agrees to come to the house for dinner, so I can do that! ”
The laughter of Miki Kujo on the other side of the phone shows that she didn't believe Toru Watanabe at all.
It's a real headache.
If it was Rin Kiyono, he would definitely know that Toru Watanabe was a hospitable host without dirty ideas.
"Okay, eight o'clock, I'll go to you. Wash cleanly. ”
"Wash it up? Mei Ji, I'm not a carnal scum, I ......"
"I mean ducks."
"Huh? Oh. ”
The phone hung up amid the laughter of Miki Kujou, it seemed that she was in a good mood, could it be that she had recently negotiated a few more deals and made a few dollars?
Toru Watanabe remembered the Takashi who gave him a Lamborghini as soon as they met, and the life of a rich man is unimaginable.
Since Kujou Miki agreed to come to dinner, Toru Watanabe didn't plan to be lazy anymore, and boiled water to kill the duck.
He doesn't know how to cook, so he's going to boil duck soup and cook a hot pot.
Asked my mother how to make the soup, put the duck rack in the pot to make the soup, and he went out to buy other ingredients.
On the afternoon of August 24, it was very hot outside.
The asphalt roads and the roofs of the residential areas glistened in the sun, and the few pedestrians on the road tried to stay in the shade.
Toru Watanabe finally walked into the mall and let out a sigh of relief, his body was already slimy with sweat.
After standing at the air-conditioning exit and blowing for a while, I strolled around the grocery sales area of the mall.
A plate of high-quality Wagyu beef, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, chrysanthemum, baby cabbage, enoki mushrooms, chrysanthemum, ...... There are many styles, but few in number.
Thinking that Kujo Miki likes to eat salmon, Toru Watanabe takes the most expensive plate of salmon in the mall.
Finally, I took a bottle of orange juice, settled the bill, and returned to the rental house sweating profusely.
In this kind of weather, a person really doesn't want to cook, let alone kill ducks.
After taking a shower, changing clothes, and seeing that the time was not understood, I began to wash rice, cook rice, wash vegetables and set dishes.
After dark, before Kujou Miki arrived, he went to the store and bought a gas stove for camping.
Put the gas stove on the round low table, put the duck soup pot that had been burning all afternoon on top, and fill the round table with other dishes.
I held my phone up and took a photo and sent it to my mother and Miki Kujo.
Toru Watanabe turned on the TV and drank orange juice while watching an NHK documentary about bad weather in the northernmost part of Hokkaido, which was opened for a fee when he had the money.
Waiting for Kujo Miki's time, the pot gurgled and the fragrance filled the entire rental house.
Kujou Miki knocked on the door at eight o'clock on time.
"It's finally here, I'm dying of hunger." Toru Watanabe opened the door.
Kujo Miki wore a simple short sleeve with a hem tucked into the skirt to accentuate the graceful waist curve.
She sat down at the low table and glanced at the dishes on the table: "After you called me, I didn't eat anything, and if it didn't taste good, let me down, and punish you for dancing." ”
"You smell it." Toru Watanabe made a knowledge of hot pot.
Kujou Miki's small and delicate nose sniffed: "It's so-so." ”
"Smell carefully."
Kujou Miki sniffed again: "Don't you feel how special the rice field duck is?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you're a duck or not, it's all my love." Toru Watanabe said.
Kujou Miki glanced at Toru Watanabe and picked up the glass he had prepared for her: "Pour me a drink and put some ice cubes." ”
"Isn't my love delivered?"
Miki Kujou tapped the base of the glass on the table, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.
Toru Watanabe was also hungry, so he stopped talking nonsense, first poured her a drink, added ice cubes, and then arranged the ingredients in the snow-white broth.
When everything was ready, the two of them started with dishes that were easy to cook.
Toru Watanabe sandwiched a piece of duck meat and looked at her expectantly, "Try it." ”
Kujou Miki didn't eat it right away, she first took off the duck skin and put it in Toru Watanabe's bowl before taking a bite of the duck meat.
"How?" Toru Watanabe asked.
"Hmm." Kujou Miki nodded nonchalantly.
Toru Watanabe is already very satisfied with this evaluation, and it feels worth it for a busy afternoon.
He threw the duck skin into his mouth.
Kujou Mihime sandwiched a slice of hot Wagyu beef by herself and nodded in a good way.
She ate a little bit of food and asked Toru Watanabe to add her a bowl of rice.
"Have you been busy lately?" Toru Watanabe puts the tofu full of soup in his mouth.
"There are a few projects, and I'm not very busy, but I don't have much time."
"Are you going to watch my game tomorrow?"
"The Kanto tournament is not interesting, let's talk about the national competition."
"You're pretty confident in me."
"I believe in the strength of that woman in Rin Kiyono." Kujou Miki glanced at Toru Watanabe and put the ingredients on the chopsticks into her mouth, only to be scalded by the potatoes.
She frowned, her little red tongue sticking out slightly.
Toru Watanabe looked up and saw the appearance of Miki Kujo and couldn't help but laugh.
Miki Kujo grimaced and poured the bitten potatoes into his bowl.
The two chatted while eating, the hot pot gurgled and the heat filled the middle of the two.
After eating the hot pot, Toru Watanabe leaned his back against the wall, drinking the remaining orange juice and watching the unfinished documentary.
Kujou Miki was able to eat, her head lying on his lap, her eyes closed.
A few strands of black hair slid down her face, and Toru Watanabe used his index finger to gently pull the long hair behind her ears.
Kujou Miki reached out and gently grasped the palm of Toru Watanabe's hand that had slashed across her face.
Her hands were soft and thin, and Toru Watanabe couldn't help but knead them gently.
The scorching heat passed through her skin, and Miki Kujo felt very comfortable, as if she was massaged, and her face with her eyes closed quietly looked even more lazy.
The air conditioner was blowing, there were leftovers on the table, and there were two occasional dog barks outside.
On the day of the Kanto Contest, Toru Watanabe still came to the music classroom early as usual.
In the past, the only people who came earlier than him were Mai Tomorrow, but today there are three more people, and all of them are practicing seriously.
When Rin Kiyono came, the wind club practiced the designated song and the optional song several times from beginning to end.
Before starting to move the instruments, Rin Kiyono said, "Do you remember our goal? ”
"Gold Medal in the National Competition!"
"That's right, so don't use up all your nerves at the Kanto Tournament, and wait until the national tournament to get nervous."
The wind club laughed and relaxed, holding the instrument quietly.
When the laughter stopped, Rin Kiyono said again, "If you're really nervous, let's take a look at the sheet music in your hand." ”
Everyone's sheet music was in tatters, full of notes.
"Alright, let's go."
"Yes!"
The Kanto Tournament was held at an international conference venue in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.
Shinjuku Ward, where Kamigawa is located, and Bunkyo Ward, where the competition is played, are closely connected to each other, which is why they have plenty of time to practice in the morning.
"Eh, you said that if we make it to the national competition, will we go to Nagoya a day earlier?" On the bus, a boy said.
"Maybe." A girl replied.
"I really want to go to the castle tower!"
"If I want to go to Nagoya University, my goal is to go on to the Faculty of Law."
"Tamamo, where do you want to go?" A boy asked.
Tamamo is so much calmer than last time, perhaps because the notes on her sheet music are the most important.
The way she looks up and thinks carefully is indeed very attractive to boys.
"I want to go to the Yamazaki River to see the cherry blossoms, and I heard that there are hundreds of cherry trees on the one-kilometer walking path there."
"Stupid you," Toru Watanabe couldn't help but speak, "The national competition is in November, where did the cherry blossoms come from to show you, do you think you're Haruhi Suzumiya?" ”
“...... Who is Haruhi Suzumiya? Isn't there a beautiful me? ”
Is the focus here? Sure enough, it's a stupid person.
As I got off the bus, the sun and heat were blowing in my face.
The crowd in long-sleeved school uniforms had already begun to sweat before they even walked into the venue. The venue was already crowded, with students in all kinds of uniforms running around.
Tamamo is so beautiful that they stay in a corner, and whenever they see the team of the strong school, the tension will increase.
In their eyes, even their words and deeds seem to be different. The neat uniform exudes a shocking sense of oppression.
There are even radio interviews.
"What to do? Hands are starting to tremble! ”
"I can't even remember the melody! It's over, it's over, what was the sound at the beginning! ”
"Don't say it, I'm about to forget about you!"
Just as they were walking uneasily with each other, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the venue, and there was even a girl's suppressed scream.
The people in the wind club subconsciously looked over and saw the boys from the wind club of Kamigawa High School walking in with a bottle of marble soda in their hands, sweating profusely.
Toru Watanabe pulled the collar of his suit as if he couldn't stand the heat with one hand, because under the rolled sleeves of carrying musical instruments was a well-proportioned and strong arm.
"That guy is so handsome."
"Could it be an entertainer?"
"No, look at him in his school uniform."
"Which school's uniform is that, so envious!"
"It seems to be Kamigawa."
"Eh, isn't that a private high school known for going on to higher education? Haven't seen them in a game before. ”
For the first time ever, the girls in the wind club are proud to be one of them.
Only Tamamo sighed.
The screaming was not over yet, and when Rin Kiyono, who had gone to change his clothes at the beginning, walked in, the venue was noisy again.
"So handsome, that girl!"
"Look at her clothes...... Is it a consultant? Lie, too young! ”
"It seems to be Kamigawa's!"
"Ah——, such a handsome classmate, and an advisor, why not in our school! It's good to have one! ”
Wind club students from all over the Kanto region talked about it without any scruples.
Not only that, but those sharks who wanted to smell blood immediately surrounded them.
As soon as Toru Watanabe walked up to Rin Kiyono, who was once again incarnated as a beautiful boy, and was about to tease her, the two were surrounded by reporters.
"Hello, may I ask which school you are from?"
Toru Watanabe glanced at Rin Kiyono, who was holding her arms in a posture that she didn't intend to speak.
"Kamigawa High School." Toru Watanabe had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.
Long spears and short cannons were immediately aimed at him.
"Classmate, what's your name? What instrument is in charge? ”
"My name is Toru Watanabe, and the instrument I'm in charge of is the oboe."
"What is your goal?"
"Become the prime minister of the island country and lead the island country to become an independent and self-reliant country." Watanabe talked eloquently, and the whole person was full of confidence.
Not to mention Rin Kiyono, who can see through lies, none of the people present who can hear his voice believe his words.
"Classmate, I'm asking you about your goal for this competition." The journalist reminded.
Another reporter continued to ask, "Watanabe-san, how did you become prime minister?" And then what are you going to do? ”
Toru Watanabe ignored the serious reporter and said to the reporter who was promising at first glance, "I plan to participate in various competitions in high school to raise my profile." This orchestra competition is one of them, and he is currently practicing baseball and aiming to enter Koshien next year. ”
“......”
"Of course, that's not enough." Toru Watanabe continued, "My grades were third in the school, and if nothing else, I would have been recommended for admission to the University of Tokyo. ”
“...... Really? ”
"Of course." Toru Watanabe is a political figure with a legitimate momentum, "Although I can't disclose the details, my girlfriend is powerful and powerful, and even the classmate I befriended, the one next to me, is also a well-known ......"
"Shut up." Rin Kiyono rubbed her eyebrows
"Yes." Future Prime Minister Toru Watanabe chose to surrender temporarily.
