146. National Competition 1(2/2)
"You don't want to eat?"
"Eating too much will make you fat."
"Are you afraid of getting fat with a figure like yours? Stop joking." Toru Watanabe said.
"Prevention will lead to failure, failure to do so will lead to failure. T Sang, who is number one in liberal arts, do you need me to explain?"
"...please give me fried chicken, I haven't had breakfast today."
Rin Kiyono picked up the fried chicken pieces stuck on the toothpicks and put them in Toru Watanabe's eel lunch box.
Watanabe Toru put the fried chicken into his mouth and while chewing the chicken, he inadvertently glanced out the window.
The white clouds are rolling and embedded in the blue sky; the tram rumbles past Yotsuya Station and disappears along the railway track into the jungle of high-rise buildings.
It was very bright outside, and my eyes hurt slightly as I stared into the distance.
The last day of training went by in a blink of an eye.
The next day, October 25th, Sunday.
After the morning practice, the music department took the school bus to Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture.
It took an unexpectedly long time. We set off at noon and arrived at the booked hotel at 4 p.m.
Kamikawa did not choose an expensive hotel. In order to facilitate pre-game practice and considering the location, he booked a relatively simple hotel with a concert hall.
It is said that in order to do the business of hosting participating schools, the money originally used to renovate the hotel was used to repair the concert hall. After the 311 earthquake in 2011, the competition venue was changed to the Nagoya International Convention Center.
Upon arriving at the hotel, everyone spontaneously moved their luggage into the room.
According to the arrangement, girls are assigned to common bunks according to school years. Because the number of boys is small, they are all crowded into one common bunk.
After taking off their shoes and walking into the room covered with tatami mats, the boys suddenly became more active without the girls.
"I sleep in the corner! Don't fight with me!"
"Oops, I forgot to bring facial cleanser. Do any of you have any?"
"Would you like to go shopping together later? I didn't bring a toothbrush either."
In addition to life, there are also inseparable topics about girls.
"Watanabe, can you see Rina-san tomorrow?"
"That's right, we also want to sign this time!"
"You guys, don't scare others." Toru Watanabe quickly took out the mobile phone charger from his bag and charged his mobile phone in the corner.
After playing the game for five hours, the phone's battery had already turned red, so I switched to power-saving mode to avoid shutting down.
"What do you mean by scaring her? We are her fans! What are we not doing?"
"That's right! Watanabe just wants to keep Rina sister to himself, right? Such a beautiful girl will never allow you to be alone!"
"I'm talking about you," Toru Watanabe put down his phone and started packing his luggage, "because I admire Miss Reina's trumpet playing skills, but you always focus on other people's appearance, are you superficial?"
"You are the only one who believes in me, you cunning citizen of Iwate Prefecture!"
"How dare you look down on Iwate Prefecture? Nagata, you brought playing cards, right? Tonight I will let you know the anger of Iwate Prefecture!"
"Who's afraid of whom? The loser goes to the girls' dormitory and asks for snacks!"
"Really or not? Forget it, you will definitely get scolded by the teacher!"
"Just because you will be scolded, it is considered punishment!"
From Rina to the girls' dormitory in the evening to ask for snacks, and then discussed the possibility of pretending to go to the wrong bathhouse. If the group hadn't sent a message urging them to go to the concert hall to practice, the boys might have regarded this as a school trip.

Kyoto, Kitauji, a warm autumn morning.
"Have the instruments been confirmed? It's time to go!"
"Okay!" Kumiko responded loudly, accelerated her speed, confirmed, and jumped out of the truck.
When she ran to the bus, Rina had already reserved a seat for her.
Kumiko sat down next to Reina, raised her feet, took off her shoes skillfully, and let out a big yawn at the same time.
"Are you tired now?" Rina looked at her move in surprise and noticed that tears had begun to appear in the corners of her eyes.
"Yeah." Kumiko responded weakly.
"Didn't you sleep last night?"
"I fell asleep, but I'm still very sleepy." Kumiko fell down, her head pressing on Reina's big breasts.
The bus started slowly and headed towards the Kitauji Gate. After getting on the expressway, the speed gradually increased.
"Rina."
"Didn't you sleep?"
"Yeah." Kumiko responded lazily, "What does Deluko want from you?"
"You know?" Rina said shyly, "I have decided to go abroad and want to study at a music university abroad."
"Going abroad?" Kumiko sat up and looked at Reina's eyes under her long eyelashes.
"Yes, but before that, I will go to Tokyo."
"Go to Tokyo? Seek revenge on that person?"
Rina was dumbfounded and admired her friend's imagination: "What does it have to do with that pervert? It's a women's university in the suburbs of Musashino. My father knows the teachers there. It's a school famous for English. I will go there.
Study on loan for a year to prepare for going abroad."
"Going abroad." Kumiko murmured to herself, looking at the car window behind Reina.
The unfamiliar scenery kept changing, and her face on the car window looked childish and confused.
For Kumiko, whose only trip abroad was to Aichi Prefecture, going abroad and graduating from high school were both very far away.
"What about you, Kumiko?"
"I may have no choice but to go abroad, but I will go to that women's university. I want to continue to be with you, Rina." Kumiko looked away.
Rina's eyes flickered and she couldn't help but hold her friend's face with her hands: "Kumiko doesn't have to do this."
Kumiko shook her head quietly and pressed her forehead against Reina's forehead: "After I learn English, I can become an English teacher, and then return to Kitauji and become a consultant of the Musical Instruments Department."
"Well, when I return to China, I will definitely be a judge in the national competition." Rina said.
Kumiko sat up straight and said seriously: "Remember to give Kitauji an A directly."
"No way." Rina refused without thinking, and added: "Unless Kumiko you come to beg me the night before."
The two laughed softly and leaned their heads together.
"How silly."
"No way, we will definitely realize such a future."
"Well, if Rina says it will come true, then it will definitely come true."
"You idiot, I'm not a god, I still have to work hard."
