Retreating and lowering goals won't work, so we can only seriously think of a solution.

The Human Observation Department fell into a quiet moment of reflection.

"See you soon, senior." Qingye Rin spoke first.

"Have you thought of a solution, Kiyono-kun?" Kaoru Hayami looked over expectantly.

"I can tell you my experience in managing the music department. How about you give it a try?"

"Hmm -" Zaijian Xun thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"reason?"

"I don't have as great a musical ability as you, Kiyono-kun, and I may not even be the best person in the second grade. It's hard for everyone to obey."

"What about the minister's rights?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously, "Shouldn't it be like the Human Observation Department? The world is huge and the minister is the biggest?"

"Do you have any dissatisfaction, Toru Watanabe-san?"

"No." After dealing with his minister, Watanabe Toru said to Hayami Kaoru: "That's about it, do you see it?"

Qingye Rin was even more dissatisfied, but she really couldn't refute the scene just now.

Hayao Jianxun couldn't help but laugh twice, and then said helplessly:

"It might have been possible before, but after Kiyono-san, the performance club has become more about strength."

"The main reason is that you are not strong enough as a minister." Regardless of how hurtful this truth was, Rin Kiyono muttered to himself and continued to think of a solution for Kaoru Hayami.

"Sorry." Toru Watanabe apologized to Kaoru Hayami on her behalf.

"It doesn't matter, Kiyono-san is absolutely right." Hayami Kaoru has seen Kiyono Rin's 'venomous tongue', "Besides, even if I am strong enough, my personality is too weak to force everyone to obey."

"Tenderness is not a bad thing," Toru Watanabe comforted.

He thought for a while and said, "I have an idea."

Qingye Rin raised his head: "Tell me about it."

"First of all, let's reach a consensus. If we change to Kiyono-san's style, can we change the current situation of the music club?"

"Yeah." Hayao Xun nodded.

"Then, let's just find someone who can replace Qingye-san. Isn't that enough?"

"Watanabe-san," Rin Kiyono crossed her arms and straightened her beautiful swan neck, "No one can replace me. I am the most special, above all else."

"..."

Use what others praise her to praise herself?

How could there be such a narcissistic person?

Hopeless.

"I also think that no one can replace Kiyono-san." Kaoru Hayami nodded in agreement.

"Do you want to join the religion?" Toru Watanabe couldn't help but ask.

"Join the religion?" Hayao Jianxun looked at him doubtfully.

"It's nothing." Toru Watanabe ignored this private topic, "Of course no one in this world can replace Kiyono-san, I know this best."

"What do you mean, Watanabe-kun?"

"We can create an artificial intelligence and input Qingye-san's will..."

Rin Kiyono looked over with a warning look.

"Uh-huh." Watanabe Toru cleared his throat, "I mean, the music club can set the rules."

"Social rules?" Zaijian Xun asked subconsciously.

"It is indeed a feasible method." Qingye Rin nodded in agreement.

"Huh?" Hayao Xun looked at her again.

"I have seen that classmate you are not strong enough and your personality is too gentle, so I will set strict rules and everything in the music department will be run according to the rules." Qingye Rin explained.

"So that's it!" Hayami Xun gently clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I've been thinking about how to ease the relationship between the first-year and second-year students, but I never thought of solving the problem fundamentally."

"Before formulating the rules, there is one last question left: prefer first grade or second grade." Toru Watanabe said.

He and Rin Kiyono looked at Kaoru Hayami.

You can put forward any kind of opinions, but whether or not they will be adopted in the end and to what extent they will be adopted is the music department’s own business.

Faced with this problem, Zaijian Xun's gentle--to put it bluntly, a good-natured character--made her hesitate again.

"Senior," Toru Watanabe tapped the table lightly, "The goal is to win the national gold medal."

"I know, but..." Hayami Kaoru grasped the hem of her pleated skirt.

"Are you worried that the rules are too harsh and the second graders will withdraw from the club?" Qingye Rin asked.

Seeing that Xun didn't say anything, he nodded.

"These people are really confident. They think they can win the national gold medal next year just by working hard?" Qingye Rin laughed disdainfully, "It's one thing to be good at reading, but they actually think they are equally good at music.

talent."

Watanabe Toru noticed that Kaoru's face was slightly red.

It seems that this senior also has this idea.

"However, it's not that I can't understand it." Qingye Rin's tone returned to calmness, "People with excellent grades tend to be blindly confident in areas they have never been exposed to - I have long observed this from that man."

Watanabe Toru pointed at himself in confusion.

Qingye Rin nodded, confirming his doubts.

After dealing with Toru Watanabe, she continued:

"Senior, see you early. You are the head of the musical instrument department. It's up to you to decide what to do. All I can do is tell you my thoughts."

"Well, thank you, please say."

"Last year, even I led you to win the national gold medal only with Watanabe-san. Without Watanabe-san, even if a miracle happened, given the level of the Kamikawa Ensemble, the most you could get was a silver medal."

After saying that, Kiyono Rin stopped talking and gave Hayami Kaoru time to think.

Hayao saw Kaoru without hesitation.

Loosening her wrinkled pleated skirt, she looked at the two of them and said in a very transparent voice:

“The goal of the Ensemble Department is to become a national gold medalist.”

Qingye Rin smiled: "Then, let's start discussing the rules."

It was Rin Kiyono and Kaoru Hayami's job to make the rules, while Toru Watanabe continued to read his book.

The day after tomorrow will be the beginning of spring, and the chill from the north wind outside the window has not diminished at all.

Perhaps it was the contrast between the "whistling of the cold wind outside" and the "whining of the heater indoors". Hearing Norin's lowered voice, Toru Watanabe felt warm throughout his body.

When the club activity time was over, the two of them ended their discussion.

Watanabe Toru took the paper covered with writing:

"1. All members (including Department B) must participate in training from Monday to Friday."

"2. Training on Saturdays and Sundays, starting from April, everyone (including Department B) must participate."

"3. Before the end of club activities, you must say hello to the chief of your own voice group."

"4. When junior students see senior students, they must say hello and bow at 45 degrees."

"5. Small buckets used to contain water accumulated in musical instruments must be cleaned after use."

...

A series of "musts" seems to have indeed injected a lot of "Qingye Rin's will".

In addition to training, there are also many daily etiquettes.

To Toru Watanabe, this is incomprehensible, but for people from the island country, it is perfectly normal.

He had no intention of raising objections. This is an island country after all.

The most important thing is that it has nothing to do with him.

"After this system is implemented, I'm afraid I will be criticized if I see my senior sister early." Qingye Rin put his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully.

"It's so rare that you actually care about others? Are you unexpectedly a gentle person? I have misunderstood you before?" The only person who dared to say this was Watanabe Toru.

"So," Rin Kiyono said, "Senior, you can tell everyone directly that the idea of ​​formulating the rules was proposed by Watanabe-san."

"This..." Kaoru Hayami looked at Toru Watanabe.

"Why!" Toru Watanabe's voice slightly drowned out the north wind outside the window, expressing his emotions without being harsh. "I don't have the intention to protect others from the wind and rain."

"Then let's talk about me, I set most of the rules anyway." Kiyono Rin said nonchalantly.

"...Forget it, let's talk about me." Bei Feng's voice overwhelmed Toru Watanabe.
