Xiaolian and Jiazhi are playing on the lawn.

Just a bare lawn with some dragonflies can make them happy for a while.

Toru Watanabe and the three of them sat at an outdoor dining table by the lawn.

Most of the customers around were in pairs, chatting about innocuous things in a sweet and relaxed atmosphere.

So are the three of them.

"The first competition of the instrumental club will start in two days?" Toru Watanabe asked Rin Kiyono.

Qingye Rin nodded and said in her calm voice: "August 5th, second session in the afternoon."

“How far can we go this year?”

“The level is barely enough to advance to the national level.”

"You mean reluctantly, you can't go if you make a slight mistake?"

"Um."

Kujo Miki lazily yawned.

Affected by yawning, Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono seemed a little tired, so the topic of the wind music competition ended here.

Looking at Xiaolian and Kaori squatting on the lawn, studying something unknown, Watanabe Toru was in a daze.

Is Mai tomorrow practicing in the instrumental music department? The windowsill of the music classroom is full of PET bottles like last year?

In a few days, Koshien will also start.

Before the start of Koshien, how will Aina Koizumi pass the time without leaving Tokyo?

The weather is so hot, what are parents doing? Taking a nap with the fan blowing on, or watching TV to pass the time?

For a moment, both body and mind became lazy.

'If you can do a few questions immediately in such a state, it will be a great exercise for your will.'

Watanabe Toru opened the red question bank with the University of Tokyo printed on it in his mind and began to do the math questions above.

Parabola C: Y=... l, m are two straight lines passing through the origin and tangent to the parabola.

The first question is, there is a point A on the parabola. Its distance from the straight lines l and m is respectively... Find the coordinates of A.

"Watanabe."

"A(2,2).What's the matter?"

"What A(2,2)?" Kujo Miki asked.

"The first question of the University of Tokyo's 2018 College Entrance Examination."

"That simple linear programming problem? You won't get any improvement by doing that kind of question." Qingye Rin said with a smile, "I'll give you a question about Markov chains."

"As I said, this is the first question, I'm going to do it one by one."

"That doesn't matter." Miki Kujo interrupted, "Let's go for a walk in the forest. If I sit down again, I will fall asleep."

"I agree." Qingye Rin said, "It's okay to be bored, but the sight of people and lies make me unbearable."

"I know the sight, what's the situation with lies?"

"The couple on the left who says they only love each other is fake; the woman on the right who says it's her first time here is fake; the uncle in the back keeps bragging about winning money from horse racing, which is fake; over there...

"

"Stop." Toru Watanabe stood up, "Go for a walk."

The two beautiful girls stood up, and the boy picked up his baseball uniform from Kujo Miki's chair, stretched out his arms and put it on.

"Aren't you hot?" Qingye Rin asked.

Watanabe Toru thought for a while, then took it off and put it on his arm.

"People who are easily influenced by others are the least promising," Kujo Miki said.

Watanabe Toru looked at the coat in his hand and then at the two of them: "You two will just kill me."

"It doesn't matter whether you are promising or not, who do you listen to?" Kujo Miki asked with a smile.

"What am I wearing a coat for on an August day?" Toru Watanabe asked her.

Kujo Miki snorted, and then said arrogantly: "I allow you to listen to Ye Rin clearly this time."

"Watanabe-san, can you turn into a dog?" Kiyono Rin asked curiously.

"I will turn into a dinosaur and crush you two vicious women with one foot and one foot."

Seeing Toru Watanabe's aggrieved look, the two eldest ladies laughed happily.

The three of them stepped onto the lawn and prepared to take Xiaolian away.

"Len-chan, are you leaving?" Kaori looked at Xiaolian and asked.

Xiaolian looked at Toru Watanabe.

Watanabe Toru thought for a while and asked Kaori: "Jiaori, are you going out to play alone?"

"Of course!" Jia Zhi puffed up her chest, "I come here every year, there's no place I haven't been to."

"I feel relieved that Xiaolian is with Miss Kaori, someone who is so familiar with Karuizawa." After saying that, Watanabe Toru turned to look at Xiaolian, "Do you want to play with Kaori? Do you dare to stay here?

"

"......Um!"

Watanabe Toru rubbed her head: "My brother and sister are walking in the forest over there. You just play here and I will pick you up later."

"This is Xiaolian's first time here." Kujo Miki glanced at him.

"It doesn't matter. When I met Sawamura, Xiaolian ran all over the mountains and plains by herself. She knew what to do and what not to do."

"Xiaolian." Qingye Rin reminded, "If you want to come to us or have other matters, remember to use your mobile phone."

"Don't worry!" Jiazhi held Xiaolian's hand and said as if he vowed to protect her, "I know this place better than you!"

Xiaoren was left here to play with Kaori, while Toru Watanabe, Rin Kiyono, and Miki Kujo went for a walk in the forest.

"Are you really relieved to leave Xiaoren alone?" Miki Kujo said.

"The little girl in the princess dress goes out to play alone every day. Why can't Xiaolian?" Toru Watanabe said, "I believe her."

"If something happens, don't cry and beg me to send someone to find her."

"I will beg you in tears when the time comes."

Walking into the forest, the trees become more and more lush, and the branches and leaves cover the sky.

The trees are very dense, leaving only a trail. When people walk among them, they will have the illusion that a path has been drawn in the sky.

Deep in the forest, there is a wooden church with a steeple.

The huge triangular roof hangs down to the ground on both sides, like an elf cabin in a fairy tale.

Still some distance away, Watanabe Toru relied on his excellent ear to hear the gentle sound of the harp.

This is the Plateau Church.

The three of them walked closer and saw that the predecessor of the Plateau Church was the Hoshino Tour School built in 1921. Therefore, on the door of the church, you can still see the five characters "Hoshino Tour School".

A female cleric in a robe at the door said to them:

"There is a performance inside. If you don't mind, please go in and listen for a while."

"Are you going in?" Toru Watanabe asked the two of them.

"Let's take a look." Kujo Miki replied.

After thanking the staff member, Toru Watanabe opened the door, and the strong smell of the church came out.

There were rows of long wooden chairs on both sides, with some people sitting sparsely on them, some in front and some in the back, sitting very casually.

On the wall opposite the main door, at the end of the church, is a huge triangular glass window that ends with a view.

Behind the huge transparent glass, there are green trees, like a lively painting.

Light shines in from the glass window and shines on the title page of the Bible on the wooden table, creating a holy atmosphere.

In front of a wooden table holding a huge Bible, a choir sang the gospel, and the accompanying instruments were a harp and a pipe organ.

Watanabe Toru smelled a faint aroma, which was unique to wooden buildings.

Several people sitting in the middle of the church suddenly turned around and waved to the three of them. It was the two ladies.

There were some unknown people beside them, probably ladies who came to Karuizawa to escape the summer heat.

Miki Kujo walked straight over, and Rin Kiyono turned around and left the church.

Watanabe Toru watched Kiyono Rin disappear, walked towards Kujo Miki, and put his baseball uniform jacket on the bench.

"Miss Miki, congratulations!" Looking at this scene, a young lady said to Miki Kujo with a low smile.

"Are you planning to hold a wedding here?" another lady said.
