322. Karuizawa in August 17(1/3)
The Dahe Concert Hall is open, with soft sounds sloping from the inside out.
Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono parked their bicycles and strolled inside.
Fifty-five people from the Kamikawa Ensemble Department were sitting on the stage, with some audience members scattered below, like a performance by a not-so-famous orchestra.
The two of them walked to the first row.
The two members of the instrumental club were spotted on the stage. Some of them had their eyes wide open, some were playing more seriously, and some were making mistakes in panic.
When Qingye Rin slightly wrinkled her cool and beautiful eyebrows, these people all became honest again.
Watanabe Toru glanced at the row in front of him, where Koizumi Aina was sitting there bored, holding a mobile phone in his hand, glancing at it from time to time.
"Good morning, Mr. Koizumi."
"Huh?" Koizumi Qingna heard the voice, straightened up and turned around, "Qingye-san, long time no see."
"Yeah." Qingye Rin nodded.
Koizumi Aina looked past her and looked behind Kiyono Rin, and Watanabe Toru was blinking at her.
Koizumi Aona laughed uncontrollably.
On the stage, Kaoru Hayami, who was originally the conductor, noticed the arrival of Rin Kiyono and shook his hand, causing everyone to stop the performance.
She herself got off the stage and walked towards Kiyono Rin.
"Long time no see, Kiyono-san, Watanabe-kun." There was a hint of urgency in Hayami Kaoru's greeting voice.
The Ensemble Department has not received guidance from Rin Kiyono since August. Seeing that the date of the competition is getting closer and closer, as the director, she has been anxious.
"Long time no see, see you soon, senior sister." Tetsu Watanabe responded.
Before Qingye Rin could speak, Hayami Kaoru looked at her: "Qingye-san, could you please guide us?"
"That's why I'm here."
The two of them didn't waste any time and went straight onto the stage.
Hayao Kaoru took her bassoon and sat down among the people in the music department. Qingye Rin took the conductor's baton and stood in front of the music stand.
"After being reminded, there are two reasons why I haven't improved yet. One is that I don't work hard, and the other is lack of ability."
"But no matter which one, you are worse than I thought."
As soon as he took the stage, Qing Ye Shen told all living beings what it means to have no emotions.
The performance club held their breath, some felt ashamed, and some thought it was a waste of training time for the baseball club's support staff, so they felt it was not unfair. However, no matter who they were and what their inner feelings were, they all accepted the training honestly at this time.
"Start with the flutes in the woodwind section and play them to me one by one." After a few words of instruction without mercy, Rin Kiyono immediately began to guide.
"yes!"
When Toru Watanabe sat down next to Aina Koizumi, he took a look at the tourists in the back row. As expected, they all looked surprised by Rin Kiyono.
The two of them sat side by side, watching the music section holding meetings one by one, recording every word that came out of Ye Rin's mouth on their respective sheets of music.
Koizumi Aina hesitated to speak.
As lovers, or as teachers and students.
There are so many people in the concert hall, so many students in front of me...it can only be a conversation between teachers and students.
"Did you receive my letter?" Toru Watanabe
Koizumi Aina's original feeling of regret and discouragement was suddenly washed away by these words.
"Yeah." Her voice was very light, just like the tone played by Tamamo Haomei on the stage at this time.
"Why didn't you go play?"
"After all, she is a teacher." Koizumi Aina said in a girl's tone.
"I like teachers the most."
"I don't believe what you say."
"Why?" Toru Watanabe looked sideways at her.
Because there were people on the stage, he didn't smile, but his eyes showed a smile.
"Have you forgotten?" Koizumi Aina pretended to be angry, "One month into the school year last year, you didn't even know my full name. At that time, you said you liked the teacher the most and that you studied all for the teacher."
"Teacher, you made a mistake."
"I remember it very clearly."
"When I say 'teacher I like the most', it's because I like the profession of teacher, not you."
"What did you say?"
"It means that no matter how old you get, please continue to be my teacher."
Tetsu Watanabe's ambiguous tone made Koizumi Aona, who often heard Miyuki Miyazaki say that "students just long for beautiful female teachers", immediately understand.
"Be more serious!" she cursed shyly.
"If I hadn't been sitting in the first beat, I would have put my hand on your leg now."
"Watanabe-san." On the stage, Rin Kiyono turned around and cast a cold gaze on Toru Watanabe.
"exist!"
"Come up."
"Is something wrong?"
"It's okay to sit there anyway, you'll be responsible for instructing the woodwind instruments."
"......oh."
"Come on!" Koizumi Aina snickered softly.
"Do you still remember how I taught you how to train them?" Toru Watanabe whispered as he stood up.
"Hmm -" Koizumi Aina placed her finger on her chin doubtfully, "Do you want to blow it again?"
"You used my body to do such...girly things?"
"Yeah." Koizumi Aona nodded at Toru Watanabe when she saw that she was lying.
"I......"
"Watanabe-san."
"I'm coming."
Correct lost intervals, make the beats neat, adjust the volume ratio between instruments...several times, dozens of times as if practicing the same place.
The audience came and went, and soon lost interest in the wind section that was no longer playing together.
Practice continuously, without stopping.
Near noon, Miki Kujo and the two ladies came.
Koizumi Aina's eyes dodge from side to side, but finally she mustered up the courage to step forward: "Mother Kujo, Mother Kiyono, and Miki-san, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Koizumi." Mrs. Kujo said gently.
She looks as young as Koizumi Aina on the outside, but she slightly changes her tone and naturally reveals the maturity of a high school girl's mother.
"Where is Watanabe?" Miki Kujo didn't notice Toru Watanabe on the stage.
"Instructing the woodwind section in the Second Concert Hall." Koizumi Aina said.
"Yeah." Kujo Miki nodded and walked straight to the Second Concert Hall.
"Let's go and have a look too." The two ladies didn't even look at Qingye Rin on the stage.
Rin Kiyono didn't notice their arrival and concentrated on guiding the brass team.
Under her guidance, everyone gradually developed a clear and clear feeling about the music score that had been played countless times.
Even though they had known for a long time that as long as they did what Qingye Rin said, they would be able to play better, but at this moment they still had trust and yearning for the past from the bottom of their hearts.
On the other side, Miki Kujo and her two wives walked into the Second Concert Hall.
Mrs. Kujo checked everything, and except for Toru Watanabe, they were all girls.
They were playing, and Toru Watanabe was staring at the music score, with a listening look on his face.
Hearing someone coming in and the girls continuing to play, Toru Watanabe looked up.
"Blow one more time." He said to the woodwind team without saying hello to Kujo Miki and the others.
"Ah——" the girls in the woodwind group wailed.
"Watanabe-kun," bassist Kaoru Hayami said, "We have played this section ten times. It's time to tell us what's wrong, right?"
"That's right!" first-year oboe Mai Horikita echoed, "Senior, you can say it now!"
"You guys are really stupid." Toru Watanabe sighed.
"Yes, yes, Watanabe-kun, you are the smartest, tell us quickly!" The girls didn't care at all and urged one by one.
