Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 272 Their Limitations

During lunch break, when Yamami Maki walked out of the classroom with an empty water cup, she spotted two familiar figures at the end of the corridor.

"Mmm." She cleared her throat in the shadows of the stairwell, straightened her bow tie, smoothed out the wrinkles on her sleeves, and finally patted her skirt before taking a step.

Standing on the balcony, Jun Matsue and Aya Miyamura leaned against the railing and noticed the girl approaching.

"Hello, senior." The boy raised his right hand, which was leaning against the railing, and gestured to her by moving his fingers back and forth.

"Hello, Yamami-neechan~" Miyamura Aya greeted her brother, making sure to wait until Matsueda Jun finished speaking before speaking herself so as not to steal the spotlight.

Yamami Maki stopped in her tracks as she passed the balcony, then covered her mouth and laughed, leaving the two people on the balcony completely bewildered.

"Your greeting pose looks a bit like a lucky cat, so cute."

Matsueda Jun smiled. "Are you out getting water, senior?"

The girl nodded, waved to the two of them, and walked towards the water dispenser. A few minutes later, she returned to the balcony with a full water cup.

Having gone through this process once, Yamami Maki's formalistic resistance to getting close to Matsueda Jun came to an end, and she stood comfortably beside him.

Like a young girl in a classical drama waiting for the protagonist to speak, she looked out onto the balcony and squinted her eyes contentedly, "The sunshine is lovely today."

"It's really nice, but it's a pity it's missing a recliner. Otherwise, it would be very comfortable to take a nap on the balcony." Matsueda Jun did not disappoint his senior and continued the conversation.

So Yami Maki naturally joined in their conversation, "This is the first time I've seen Aya-chan on the third floor. I never see any first-year students during lunch break."

"I came here to ask Jun-nii for help, otherwise I should be sleeping in the classroom right now." Miyamura Aya pouted.

“Our band has found a keyboard, now we just need a drummer—” The girl looked at the boy, and the senior girl turned her head as well.

"It just so happens that Chun-ge can play the drums, and that's how a perfect band was formed!"

Yamami Maki clapped softly, "I'd love to see Matsue-san play the drums too~"

His senior had said something similar before. Jun Matsue thought of the drumsticks he had treasured deep inside his locker. He hesitated, but finally shook his head.

“I’ve really been too busy lately. I can’t put down my part-time job, and I also promised to tutor Mochizuki, who has been missing a lot of lessons.”

"Band practice takes quite a bit of time, so Aya-chan should look for other people first. Maybe the brass band can find a suitable candidate."

"Alright then." The girl nodded helplessly. "I'll go ask again. Chun-ge, you must let me know when you have time."

Miyamura Aya walked towards the stairwell, while Yamami Maki frowned and pretended to be annoyed as she looked at Matsueda Jun.

"How could Matsueda-san let Aya-chan poach members from the brass band club?"

Jun Matsue stretched in the sunlight, making his already tall figure appear even more slender. "Anyway, there are only one or two drummers in the brass section who can compete. You percussion section has quite a few people, so it's like a second job."

Maki Yami still frowned, but her eyes held a helpless smile. "You can't let Yuuka hear that~"

"Yes, yes~" The boy walked out onto the balcony. "Then I'll go back to class first. As a third-year student, you should pay more attention to rest."

The girl nodded, watching his back turn as he went into the classroom. Without Matsueda Jun's shield, the sunlight on the balcony was even brighter. Yamami Maki squinted slightly, savoring the unfamiliar emotions in her heart.

Is this jealousy?
When she realized that she couldn't see Songzhi playing the drums because of another girl, a faint but glaring emotion began to churn in her chest, making her feel uneasy.

Mochizuki Haruka and Yamami Maki recalled the girl with the aloof expression. She always showed a capricious yet sweet side in front of Matsueda-san, making it impossible not to be charmed. The girl walked back to her classroom with her water bottle. Although it wasn't nice to think like that, she did feel a little envious of the Mochizuki family's young lady.

Because that girl looked so free.

When Jun Matsue returned to the classroom, Tomatsu Yuka and Mochizuki Haruka were both in their seats. The air between them was like a thick wall, which was only broken when he returned.

"Matsueda-san is back?" The girl on his right looked at him. "I saw that Aya-chan looked a little dejected when she went back."

"She wanted me to be the drummer for her band, but I was unavailable at the moment, so I declined."

The boy sat down in his seat and took out his English textbook for the afternoon. Even though Jun Matsueda's English grades were excellent, Ms. Kominato wouldn't allow him to leave her class; this was her capricious nature as a homeroom teacher.

"Aren't you free?" Tomatsu Yuka's gaze drifted to the other side. Whose fault was it?

Not to be outdone, Mochizuki Haruka looked over and said, "Matsue can quit her part-time job at the library, and I'll pay you for the tutoring—that way you'll have time to go to the band."

“We’ll see.” Jun Matsueda said helplessly, holding up his textbook to block the two’s view. “Even if we have free time now, we might not have time to play in the band later. If we quit halfway through, it will be more troublesome for Aya and the others.”

"Now is a precious extended lunch break, please cherish these twenty minutes and get some rest, okay?"

Whether the girls rest or not is not important; the main thing is that he himself wants to sleep. Some students have already felt that arriving at school 20 minutes early is not appropriate, and this trial plan may be changed back after a while.

Kominato Shoko hosted both the afternoon class and English class. The young female teacher looked tired as she left, but Mochizuki Haruka didn't care. The girl looked at Matsueda Jun.

Where do we get tutoring?

The boy thought for a moment, "The classroom or the school library, whichever you prefer."

“The library,” Mochizuki Haruka answered without hesitation. “The classrooms are too noisy.”

The real reason was that there were too many people; if there were other options, she would prefer to receive one-on-one tutoring in Jun Matsueda's apartment bedroom.

"Then pack your bags." Jun Matsue stood up. "We won't be going back to the classroom later."

"it is good."

Tomatsu Yuka watched the two talking and suddenly regretted accepting the club president position offered by Yamami-senpai. Now she could only watch Matsueda Jun and Mochizuki Haruka pack their bags, while she had to take her saxophone to the brass band room.

After the tutoring group left, Tomatsu Yuka stayed in the classroom, silently polishing her instrument several more times before walking out the back door, where she happened to run into Yamami Maki, who was on her way home.

"Is Yuka going to the brass band now?" Yamami Maki asked with a faint smile.

Shouldn't Yuka keep a close eye on Mochizuki? She thought to herself.

"Yes." Tomatsu Yuka nodded. "Goodbye, senpai."

"If only the senior could join the two of them in their tutoring session," the girl thought with a slightly melancholic smile.

See you tomorrow, and remember to practice!

Unfortunately, one of them lacked a stance, and the other lacked the time.

The girls who passed by sighed in unison.
