In the afternoon, the practice of the wind club was still the same as yesterday, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat on the side, observing the training of these students, trying to find out what might be the problem.

During this period, I made eye contact with Shiori Shinohara several times. The eldest lady smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes probably said: "Teacher Pingchuan, if you are an instructor, you can't even find the problem, it will be too dereliction of duty." ”

Therefore, sometimes the personality of this eldest lady is really bad.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa silently complained in his heart.

In short, in this way, under the constant sound of reverberating music and the supervision of Miss Shinohara, the time spent quietly in practice. Eventually, as twilight came, the sound of the practice dissipated into the sound of the rain.

"Everyone, go home early, see you tomorrow."

"I'll see you tomorrow with Mr. Ogasa."

The students put their instruments together and began to disperse.

Shiori Shinohara also cleaned up the trumpet and put it on the instrument stand. When he walked out of the concert hall, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was standing in the hallway, watching the night outside that had completely fallen.

On rainy nights, the sky is cloudy, and the night without moonlight is unusually deep. Of course, this is only limited to the campus, and in some places outside the campus, Tokyo is even more noisy at night.

"Hirakawa-sensei."

Remember the URL

Shiori Shinohara withdrew her gaze from the distant light.

"Huh? Shinohara-san. ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned around and nodded when he saw that it was Shiori Shinohara.

"Let's go."

"Hmm."

In Shiori Shinohara's response, Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned around slowly and walked ahead. Behind him, the girl was following him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is actually still thinking about the wind club.

Yesterday I already had a hazy feeling, and today, after observing the practice of the wind band again, the hazy feeling in my heart has become clearer and clearer.

He felt like he had found the answer right away.

He looked down in contemplation as he walked.

Shiori Shinohara behind him, looking at him thinking, didn't bother him, just followed him silently.

The two of them walked all the way into the shoe cabinet, and then held an umbrella and walked into the rain.

"Shinohara-san, I think I should know."

Amid the sound of rain lapping on umbrellas, Tetsufumi Hirakawa broke the silence for so long.

"Really?" With the dim light in the distance, Shiori Shinohara looked at the face of Hirakawa-sensei beside her in the night.

"Yes."

The test raised by the eldest lady in a momentary way, and he had already thought of some answers to the problems of the wind club.

Of course, in order to prevent the embarrassing situation of confidently saying the answer but guessing wrong, Tetsufumi Hirakawa decided to ask about the situation first, and correspond to the guess in his heart.

"Before I give the answer, I'd like to ask Shinohara-san a few questions."

"Yes, but—" Shiori Shinohara thought for a moment, "Hirakawa-sensei is only allowed to ask two questions. ”

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was interrupted by the girl's sudden offer, blinking his puzzled eyes and looking at her in surprise.

In the face of his inquiring eyes, Shiori Shinohara, smiled and gave the answer: "Mr. Hirakawa, this is a little more interesting." ”

“……”

Interesting...... Is it?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless.

After a moment, he nodded helplessly: "Okay." ”

As a student, he is really willful, because of his previous dereliction of duty, and now he has to let him find the problem himself, and he has to be restricted.

It's revenge, right?

After some secret complaining and thinking, Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked the first question after a helpless smile.

"So Shinohara-san, the first question: Do you think that after returning from Aijuku, the training efficiency of the wind club has improved?"

"Improvement naturally leads to improvement."

Shiori Shinohara gave the answer without much thought.

"Okay." Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded without much surprise.

After unifying the goals and eliminating the differences among the internal students, the efficiency of daily training will definitely be improved normally.

Of course, because Tetsufumi Hirakawa is a complete layman, even if he is asked to audit, he can only see from the atmosphere level that it is probably no problem - for example, the relaxed and leisurely environment at the beginning of the school is completely invisible.

As for the deeper questions, such as is the training of students really effective? What about efficiency? Will it not adapt to the current atmosphere and lead to inefficiency?

This kind of question is not something that a layman like him can hear in just two days, so it must be asked.

And the girl's answer also corroborated part of his inner suspicion: the problem of the wind club does not appear in the regular training.

The problem is somewhere else.

More likely-

Somewhere Ogasa-sensei can't see.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa still remembers the scene of asking Ogasa-sensei at noon today.

Although Ogasa-sensei is not sensitive in this regard, if there is any big problem-Shiori Shinohara swore to him before, "The problem with the wind club is serious"-

In this case, if the problem is in a place where Ogasa-sensei can see, it should not be impossible to find the slightest trace...... Right?

“……”

Ogasa-sensei's confused personality is really hard to say.

But forget it, this is not a serious reasoning, it is just a little game of reasoning between him and her because of the willfulness of the eldest lady.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa decided to ignore this minor flaw, which was not rigorous.

So the first question was over, and he locked his searching gaze on a place that Ogasa-sensei couldn't see.

There were two speculations left in his mind:

First, there are internal contradictions among students.

Except for a few students who will tell the teacher about this conflict, most students definitely have the idea of "hiding it from the teacher" about the internal conflict, so it is quite normal that Ogasa-sensei does not know about it.

The second is -

Tetsufumi Hirakawa remembers that Shiori Shinohara once looked for him one morning, took him to the wind club, and introduced him to the independent training of the Moriya wind club.

In the free time before the first class in the morning, the diligent students go to the activity room to train on their own, and the melodious melody of the wind club can be heard from the school gate to the school building in the morning.

Self-training, which is undoubtedly a place that Ogasa-sensei can't see.

As for whether there are other aspects, Tetsufumi Hirakawa can't think of it for the time being.

But the problem is, just in the face of these two choices, he doesn't know which one to choose?

He only had one chance left to ask.

This student's control of things is really accurate.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at Shiori Shinohara, and the girl quietly held an umbrella and walked leisurely.

After noticing his gaze, he looked back at him and asked.

"Mr. Hirakawa, have you thought about it?"

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at this dignified eldest lady and suddenly thought of something.

The hesitant look gradually turned into firmness.

"Shinohara-san, can you tell the teacher about the independent training of the wind club every morning?"

“……”

Shiori Shinohara sighed after being silent.

"Mr. Hirakawa, congratulations on your correct answer."

“…… Shinohara's tone doesn't look like congratulations. ”

"Shiori would like to see Hiragawa Sensei's guess wrong."

"This ...... Shinohara-san, should you say that you are honest, or that your personality is a little bad......

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was troubled.
