Lunch break the next day.

"Watanabe, where are you going?"

"I have something to do, you guys eat first," Watanabe Toru told Saito Keisuke and left the classroom.

He held the euphonium notes written down in his hand.

It would be too dangerous to leave Asuka Mai alone, so taking advantage of the crowd during the lunch break would be the best time.

As for Kujo Miki, it would be fine if she borrowed study notes or music theory notes, but she probably still couldn't escape the end of being "tied up".

People come and go in the school building during lunch break.

By the corridor window, a man and a woman were chatting towards the atrium; on the way to the second-year floor, they saw a girl group sitting on the stairs eating sandwiches and drinking milk.

When we arrived on the third-grade floor, the atmosphere was obviously different from that of the lower grades.

Even during the lunch break, they basically stay in their seats and read. In some classrooms, they even climb on the desk to take a nap to replenish their energy for studying in the afternoon and evening.

Watanabe Toru walked to the door of the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3.

In this class, he saw many familiar faces from the music department, and they immediately recognized Toru Watanabe.

A senior sister closest to the door came over, wiping her mouth with a tissue in her hand, and said in surprise: "Watanabe-kun? Is there anything wrong here?"

The island country is a country with a strict seniority system that surprises foreigners, so first-year students will never appear in the third-grade corridor unless necessary.

Before Toru Watanabe could answer, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her, answering her question.

"Watanabe is here to find me."

The senior student was caught off guard and startled by the coldness in the voice, thinking that someone was going to cause trouble for her.

When she turned around, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Mai Asuka.

"It turns out it's you tomorrow, let's talk."

The senior happily returned to her seat and continued to eat her lunch, but she didn't see the cold gaze of Asuka Mai as she watched her farewell.

After the senior sister sat down, Asuka Mai looked at Toru Watanabe, her eyes instantly softened: "What do you want from me, Toru?"

"How did senior sister know that I was looking for you?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.

Could it be that she also awakened some amazing ability?

"Telepathy." Asuka Mai said, holding her stomach.

"...Senior, your heart is at a higher level."

Asuka Mai shook her head slightly, still holding her stomach: "She told me, this is the feeling between mother and daughter."

Watanabe Tetsu didn't ask who "she" was, let alone what "mother and daughter" meant.

"Senior sister, this is for you." He handed over the note.

Asuka Mai casually took the note, looked at Watanabe Toru with clear eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Do you want to go to the bathroom? Today is black."

"..." Toru Watanabe pointed at the note, "Don't you want to see what it is?"

"What?" Asuka Mai echoed as if she was ready for the job.

"After the national competition, I asked a judge who admired me for my euphonium notes. That judge was a professional euphonium player."

"Masakazu Shindo?"

"Well, that's him."

Asuka Mai showed a hint of doubt and said to herself: "Is it still Kondo Shogo?"

"...I don't know, but my surname is Shindo." Watanabe Tetsu changed the topic, "This book is handwritten by me. Others would definitely not give it to me, nor would they do this.

new."

Asuka Mai's clear and intoxicating eyes blinked twice, then she hugged the note to her chest, and gently pressed her soft cherry-colored lips on it: "Thank you."

"As long as senior sister likes it."

Watanabe Tetsu was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, senior, where are you going on your school trip?"

"I haven't decided yet."

"In this case, if senior sister is confessed, what kind of environment and occasion would you like to be in? For example, do you mind if there are people watching?"

Asuka Mai tilted her head slightly in confusion, her long black hair falling on her shoulders as she moved.

Then, she seemed to suddenly understand something, and her expression changed.

Most of her delicate face was buried behind the notebook, but her clear and charming eyes turned into beautiful crescent moons.

Watanabe Toru has seen her expressions of excitement, selflessness, confusion, intoxication, etc., but he has never seen her so happy before. It is very beautiful.

Wait, now is not the time to look good or bad, right?!

"Senior sister, don't get me wrong, I have no plans for that or anything!" He quickly explained.

"Yeah." Asuka Mai nodded slightly, her face still buried behind the notebook, but just looking at her eyes, you could tell that she was smiling happily now.

It's over, it's over.

Why should I talk too much?

Now Asuka Mai doesn't listen to his explanation at all. If he tells her about Ichimoku Aoi, maybe she can forcefully clear up the misunderstanding.

But he would never do this, even if Ichimukui had a normal relationship with him.

Toru Watanabe is not someone who reveals other people's secrets.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Senior sister, I really don't have..."

"I'm looking forward to it from now on."

"No, just listen to me..."

"I'll pretend I don't know, and you can arrange it as you like."

"Wait a minute, this is really..."

"What kind of underwear do you like? I will wear it that day. By the way, can you tell me which day? No specific time."

"...I don't know what you are talking about, senior." Toru Watanabe had no expression on his face.

Tomorrow Mai looked at Toru Watanabe with loving and doting eyes: "Toru, no matter what you say that day, I will promise you."

Boys who believe this are all idiots.

Watanabe Toru can guarantee that if he says: "Senior, let's stop here," tomorrow Mai will definitely treat today's promise as if it didn't happen.

"I'm going back to eat."

"Um."

Asuka Mai held her notes in her arms and watched Toru Watanabe's figure, who looked depressed because his surprise had been seen through, disappear at the top of the stairs.

When she returned to the classroom, several girls she was close to asked her: "What are these? Study notes?"

"...Nothing." Asuka Mai replied coldly as she was obliged to do, and put the notes into a separate compartment in her school bag.

Toru Watanabe, who lamented that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, weakly returned to the classroom of Grade 4.

Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito picked up a magazine about school travel and were reading it.

"Where are you going?" Kunijing asked when he saw him coming in.

"Life is difficult, but you must do it and cherish it."

"I don't understand what you are talking about at all." The two shook their heads in confusion.

Watanabe Toru had no idea of ​​explaining, so he took the magazine from the two men's hands.

【Study trips are for the purpose of learning, allowing students to learn knowledge from traveling.】

[But as time goes by, study tours become more like pure travel, and the word study has no longer been abandoned. This is undoubtedly...]

The following is a long paragraph of social reflection. Watanabe Tetsu skipped it and turned two pages back.
