Thursday, September 28th.

Kyoto, Kitauji High School, music classroom.

"Here, the trombone and trumpet are a bit confrontational. We need to pay attention to the overall balance and lower the volume a little, otherwise it will be too noisy."

"yes."

"Trombone and trumpet play again individually."

"yes."

When the trombone and trumpet were playing, Kumiko on the euphonium part was slightly distracted.

The concert in the station building is approaching day by day. There is a small calendar drawn on the music score with two circles on the date.

In the Kyoto Station building, the central hall sandwiched between the east and west sides is a very spacious, high-ceiling space, consisting of a building facade with 4,000 pieces of glass and huge eaves.

The grand staircase on the west side is the main stage of the concert in the station building.

In addition to them, the organizer also invited Seiryo Girls’ High School in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu.

It is obviously a girls' high school, but the sound it produces is very loud. It is a consistent winner in national competitions and is well-known as a strong wind school.

Although Kumiko's Kitauji High School had its glory days in the past, it was a long time ago. It wasn't until they got a new counselor this year that they set the national competition as their goal again.

With hard work and miraculous performance in the Kansai Competition, they actually became Kansai representatives.

In late October, they will go to Nagoya to participate in the national competition together with two other strong historical schools in Kansai.

Every time she thinks of this fact, Kumiko's mouth becomes dry and her heart beats wildly.

To reach this point, Kumiko admits that there is a factor of luck, but their desire and hard work for the "National Gold" are not inferior to anyone else.

Feeling a little itchy on her legs, Kumiko put the euphonium on her knees, pinched the edges of her socks with her fingertips, and lifted them up.

There were a few strangle marks where the elastic band originally was.

She gently touched the red strangulation mark, thinking: I wonder if a beauty like Rina would be strangled by socks.

Let's check it out later, and then take the opportunity to squeeze her beautiful thighs.

"Then start practicing the next piece."

"Yes!" Kumiko was startled, then recovered and quickly opened the music score.

After the ensemble ended and Advisor Taki Noboru left, Ogasawara, as the director of the Musical Instruments Department, walked up to the podium.

"Let me tell you something. Regarding Sunday's station building concert, the organizer has added another spot. It is Kamikawa High School in Tokyo. They are also representatives of Kanto who entered the national competition this year. Please listen carefully to their performance."

Kumiko didn't know much about these, she only knew about powerful schools like Seiryo Girls' High School, which had long been famous.

While eating, she asked Midori Kawashima, who was in charge of the double bass: "Mori, do you know this school in Kamikawa?"

Luhui looks very cute, and looks like a squirrel when he puffs up his cheeks.

She is a strong school fan of wind music, and she has long been looking forward to Qingliang Girls' High School who also participated in the concert in the station building.

"Of course!" Lu Hui clenched his fists excitedly, "Xiao Lu will not let go of any performance from a school that enters the national competition!"

"Really?" Ye Yue on the side showed an expression of disbelief.

Kumiko also felt that Midori was too obsessed with wind music, but she admired Midori's courage even more. If it were her, she wouldn't have the guts to listen to performances from other strong schools.

Kumiko subconsciously glanced at Reina, who was eating a sandwich, wondering if she would listen.

Rina glanced at Kumiko doubtfully and handed over the sandwich in her hand: "The ham one, Kumiko, do you want some?"

Although she didn't mean it at all, Kumiko still took a bite where Reina had bitten and muttered "delicious" in an inarticulate voice.

Rina smiled nicely, tucked her hair behind her ears, and continued eating her sandwich.

After Luhui and Hazuki talked about their "reflections", they finally remembered Kumiko's original question.

She said: "Kamikawa High School, like us, is also the first school to enter the national competition. However, unlike Kitauji, which has entered the national competition again after many years, this is really the first time for Kamikawa."

There is something wrong with this sentence, and it is not enough for everyone to understand what she means.

"Is it because the consultant has been changed?" Rina guessed.

Kitauji's original female consultant was on maternity leave, and she got a new consultant this year, which is why she is as strong as she is today.

Even Rina, who is super strong in the trumpet, only applied for Kitauji, who is average in all aspects, because she knew in advance that a new consultant was coming.

"That's right!" Lu Hui became excited, "And the new advisor of Kamikawa is a first-year student from Kamikawa!"

"Really? Are you lying?!" Ye Yue opened her mouth in surprise.

She is also a first-year student, but she was not even selected for Department A. However, even a third-year senior in Department A cannot be a consultant.

Rina couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure?"

Kumiko can understand her mood.

Rina wants to become a special person by playing the trumpet. She may be yearning for it when she hears that someone has served as a consultant in the first grade and led the music club to the national competition for the first time.

"Little Green can't lie!"

Seeing Midori puffing up her cheeks, Kumiko couldn't help but smile and said: "No one doubts Midori, they are just surprised. Tell us the details quickly!"

As expected, Lu Hui's attention was diverted and he continued to talk about Kamikawa High School.

The other three people also gradually learned about this school through her popular science.

"In other words, Kamikawa High School is not only full of top students who can be admitted to Imperial University, but it is also a seed team recognized by the judges of this national competition?" Hazuki seemed to be surprised all the time.

But let alone her, even Kumiko and Reina were shocked.

Kumiko looked at Rina with some worry. She originally thought that if she could play the trumpet well, she would become someone special. But there are people in this world who can play the trumpet well and get into schools that they could not even imagine.

Rina's grades are also very good, and she doesn't want Kumiko to have a headache in math, but she can't guarantee that Rina can be admitted to Imperial University while taking care of the trumpet.

But once she looked into Reina's eyes, Kumiko knew that her worries were unnecessary.

Under the long eyelashes, Rina's eyes exuded a color like gems, and her sparkling eyes were full of fighting spirit.

This is the reaction you should have if you become a special person, right? Kumiko is disgusted with herself for being timid.

Reina looked at Kumiko in confusion. Kumiko shook her head slightly and lifted Reina's socks up with her hands.

Under the elastic band of the socks, there were also strangulation marks on the fair legs.

But even so, Rina is very cute!

When she retracted her hand, Kumiko blushed and quietly brushed her palms on Reina's soft thighs peeking out from under her school skirt.

Rina didn't notice it at all and smiled and said "thank you".

"That's not all!" Lu Hui forgot to eat, took a sip of milk, and continued, "Kamikawa's oboe is very, very, very strong!"

Her tone was so exaggerated that everyone had no idea how strong she was.

"Is it more powerful than Senior Sister Ao?" Kumiko asked curiously.

Kaizuka Kuo has a strange name, but she is the only oboe player in Kitauji and one of the strongest members.

By the way, he is also a very beautiful person, and Kumiko likes him very much.

Speaking of strength, during the summer camp, Kuo was criticized by the instructor invited by Taki's counselor. It was not because her performance was not good, but because it was so good that the instructor thought she could surpass the high school students as long as she worked harder.

category.

Kumiko yearns for such a senior student, and dreams of one day being recognized by her teacher like her.

"Senior Sister Kuo is very powerful, and Xiao Lu admires her very much, but compared to Shen Chuan, she is not a little bit behind!"

"Is it so powerful?" Ye Yue asked unconvincingly.

Unlike Midori, who can appreciate a strong school with a normal heart, she believes from the bottom of her heart that Kitauji is the best, although in fact it is definitely not the best.

Lu Hui held his face in his hands: "After listening to Kamikawa's oboe solo, Xiao Lu even thought: This is too cunning. It is too unfair to other people for high school students to have such a level of performance!"

"In this case, wouldn't Kitauji's chance of winning the gold medal in the national competition be slim again?" Kumiko subconsciously felt uneasy.

Among the participating teams in the national competition, about 30% of the schools can win the gold medal. With one more strong school, Kitauji's chances will be smaller.

"If we can't win the gold medal, we can only say that we are too weak and it has nothing to do with whether others are strong or not," said Rina.

"That's right." Kumiko looked at Rina who was completely unaffected, her heart gradually settled down, and she wanted to start practicing immediately.

"I'm really looking forward to it! I can hear the performances of two powerful schools at once. Xiaolu is really looking forward to this weekend! Come quickly!"

Seeing the expression and movements of the primary school student Lu Hui looking forward to a spring outing, Kumiko smiled and said: "Little Lu is so cute."

"Eh? Kumiko is looking down on Xiao Lu! I can still grow taller!" Lu Hui has always been very sensitive about his height of just over 1.4 meters.

"No, I'm talking about your face."

"Then say I look like a child!"

"I cannot deny this at all."

"Kumiko!"

Under Midoriki's dissatisfied eyes, Kumiko happily took a bite of the red bean bread, which was far worse than Rina's sandwich.
