102. Wind Music Competition Ending 1(1/2)
The results of the Tokyo Wind Ensemble Competition were announced very briefly.
As soon as the competition for participating schools ends in the morning, staff will immediately hang a huge piece of paper with the results on the stage.
Hundreds of faces were all staring in the same direction, and the turbid hot air filled the entire concert hall. The girls' faces were flushed, some lowered their heads to pray, some held hands with each other, and stared straight ahead.
Toru Watanabe and "Beautiful Boy" Rin Kiyono stood at the back of the venue, overlooking the members of the music clubs of dozens of schools.
"Nervous?" Toru Watanabe asked.
"Not really." Qingye Rin answered with her arms folded.
“Feeling hopeful?”
"A little bit."
"How sure are you of entering the Kanto Competition?"
"Ten percent."
"You are so little... you are not small."
Rin Kiyono laughed, turned to Toru Watanabe and said, "You must have the confidence to accomplish anything."
"It makes sense." Toru Watanabe nodded with a smile, and then said seriously: "But, Kiyono-san, I must warn you: those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die."
"Watanabe-san, I've always wanted to tell you something."
"A confession of love? Sorry, my heartbeat was a little faster for a moment, but after thinking about it calmly, it is still impossible for us."
Qingye Rin sighed and said helplessly: "Can you be more mature?"
"I'm just pretending to be a young boy, it's very simple. From the moment I was born in this life, I decided to be a boy for the rest of my life and live happily, even though there is a little bit of trouble at the moment." Toru Watanabe pinched him.
Tip of little finger.
"You really have a problem with your self-perception."
"It's none of your business! Now, what do you want to say to me?"
"In the sentence just now, 'Can you be more immature?', now I also need to add 'Remember to see a doctor.'"
"The truth is that your lie detector function doesn't work on me. Do you want to know why?"
"lie."
"...I'll just tell you one person: In fact, I am a partner of justice. I look like an ordinary high school student, but I am smart and omnipotent - come and fight! Currently, in order to save the future of Tokyo, I am
Fighting a life and death struggle against the dark plutocrats."
Rin Kiyono sneered: "Is the chaebol's name surname Kiyono?"
"You know it well, but that's not all. There is also the Kujo family! They used all kinds of evil methods on me, such as money, beauty, power..."
"Here it comes!!!" A sharp voice interrupted Toru Watanabe's nonsense.
The two of them looked forward at the same time. The staff who "released the list" climbed onto the high platform and spread the list down.
Rin Kiyono stared closely at the list, searching for the name of Kamikawa High School line by line. He clenched his hands unconsciously, and his nails left crescent-like patterns on his palms.
In front of the words "Kamikawa High School", a big "gold" was written in red pen.
Things have just begun. Even Jin may not be able to participate in the Kanto Competition.
An elderly judge walked to the center of the stage with the manuscript and said with the microphone that had been prepared: "Hey, next, we will announce the list of people who have qualified to participate in the Kanto Competition."
"The first school, No. 3, Tate Suginami High School."
"The second school, No. 16, Katakura High School."
Jumping to No. 16, School No. 9, which also won a gold medal in the middle, burst into tears from the joy of just winning the gold.
Watanabe Toru couldn't help but take a deep breath. There was only one last spot left. Kamikawa was No. 20. If next...
"The third school, No. 20, Kamikawa High School."
"Watanabe!" Rin Kiyono turned his face and looked at Toru Watanabe.
"Huh? Aren't you 100% sure? What's there to be happy about?"
Rin Qingye's joyful expression was stunned, and he put his chin on his hand and said thoughtfully: "Based on what you just said, I speculate that the dark chaebol will adopt the strategy of 'killing you directly' next. Please be careful, righteous partner."
"..."
Deafening cheers erupted from the front, and the girls cried with joy and hugged each other.
"Kanto!"
"We can go to the Kanto Tournament!!"
"Senior! It's Kanto! Kanto!"
The members of the Kamikawa Musical Instruments Club were talking non-stop, some were crying with tissues in their hands, and some were calling someone on their mobile phones.
"Happiness belongs to them and has nothing to do with our Human Observation Department." Toru Watanabe sighed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qingye Rin rolled his eyes at him angrily, "We are all students of Kamikawa."
"Yes, my realm is low and I only see the ego."
Qingye Rin glanced at the still excited members: "Let's go, there is still something to do."
"What's up?"
"Your favorite thing."
"My favorite thing?" Toru Watanabe suddenly had endless reverie. Is it possible that Rin Kiyono was so happy that he wanted to go to a love hotel with him?
He was embarrassed and tangled: "No, it's really not possible. If Mei Ji finds out, I will be dead."
"What are you thinking about?" Qingye Rin couldn't stand him, "Isn't your favorite thing to do to make people annoying?"
"...Kyono-kun, there is a reason why we are friends - we are both annoying."
"Who is your friend? I haven't forgiven you for what happened that night." After saying that, Qingye Rin walked towards the members.
She clasped her hands together vigorously, and all the members looked at her.
Rin Kiyono, who wears a suit and has disheveled hair, is elegant and quiet, but his aura of not being easily approachable has not diminished at all.
But everyone in the music department looked at her warmly.
"Qingye-san, we did it!"
"Kanto Tournament!"
"Thank you!"
Before Kiyono Rin spoke, Toru Watanabe, who was standing next to her, said, "What is our goal?"
"National competition!" Ichimokui answered excitedly, raising his hand.
Others also looked expectant.
"Then what are you happy about there? But it is indeed a happy thing for you. Your strength... huh!"
Rin Kiyono pushed his elbow on Toru Watanabe's side and stopped him from continuing with his fierce eyes.
"Are you the consultant, or am I the consultant?"
"......Who are you."
Rin Kiyono looked at the members who were filled with indignation and wanted to beat Toru Watanabe in a group, and said:
"It is a joy to enter the Kanto Competition, but as Watanabe-san said, this is not our end yet. Everyone, please persist and work hard until the end."
"yes!"
"Then, I will rest this afternoon and evening, and officially start practicing for the Kanto Competition tomorrow."
"yes!"
After receiving the certificates and trophies, everyone left the concert hall and took a group photo at the entrance of the venue.
After some excuses and arguments, the trophy was held by Misaki Komatsu, the director of the performance department, and the certificate was held by Mai Asuka. The two sat on the ground in the front row;
Hanada Asako and Ichimoku Aoi each put their hands on one of Asuka Mai's shoulders;
For some reason, Tamamo is so beautiful, leaning against Rin Kiyono, happily closing her scissor hands;
Behind Rin Kiyono who kept saying, "Tamamo-san, could you please let go of your hand? It's very crowded and it's very hot." There was a lone, beautiful boy - Toru Watanabe.
Before getting on the bus, Rin Kiyono sent the electronic version of the photo to Toru Watanabe, who had already quit the chat group of the Ensemble Department.
It also comes with reviews.
"How pitiful"
"What do you know? The strong are all lonely! The fact that Chinese emperors of all dynasties are solitary is the highest proof!"
"Yes, that's why it was eliminated by the 'people are the masters of the country' system."
"...You guy! Do you think I understand Chinese history? I was Chinese in my last life!"
"Ah, you are so annoying, I thought you must have been a crow in your previous life."
"What's wrong with the crows? Have you never heard of the story of crows feeding back food?! Crows living in urban areas also use vehicles to crush nuts! What filial piety and smart creatures!"
