Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 62 The Girl's Prayer

The school bus from Haneda was heading towards the Edogawa Ward Comprehensive Cultural Center, the venue for the Tokyo Wind Music Competition.

No one was talking loudly in the car. The girls were talking quietly with their neighbors, sharing their nervousness and excitement.

From time to time, someone would pop their head out of their seat and look at Tomatsu Tomoka who was sitting in the front row, with a gossipy girlish look in their eyes.

After Tomatsu Tomoka made her love declaration in Hakone, the girls in the wind band performed more lively during practice. In addition to their longing for the national gold honor, they also had a blessing for the girls in love.

"Is Tomoka really going to confess her feelings right after the Tokyo Metropolitan Meeting?" Yamami Maki asked the girl sitting next to her worriedly.

Tomatsu Tomoka nodded, her expression unwavering.

"I know what the Minister is worried about. My relationship with Jun-kun isn't that close yet, so the chances of my confession being successful aren't great, right?"

Yamami Maki nodded embarrassedly. She once accompanied her friend to confess her love to Matsueda Jun from a distance, and knew how difficult it was to win over this boy.

Tomatsu Tomoka leaned out of her seat and glanced back at Matsueda Jun, who was sitting in the last row. The girls noticed her gaze and made all sorts of cute little gestures to encourage her.

The girl smiled, leaned back in her chair, and looked at her senior who had a worried look on her face.

"Junjun and I almost became lovers." The first sentence scared the minister.

"But I made an unforgivable mistake and caused great harm to Jun-kun, so I've been trying hard to find a way for him to forgive me."

Yamami Maki covered her mouth in surprise. Usually her friends would talk to her about love affairs, but they were usually simple stories like falling in love or breaking up. This was the first time she heard of such a complicated relationship.

"After that, I have been trying to change and prove my feelings to Jun-kun, but I discovered something more important."

"I thought I couldn't impress Jun no matter how close I got to him, so I made a mistake."

"No, it's not like that. It's just that his love and hate are too reserved and impassive, making it difficult for people to detect. He was like this before when he had a crush on me, and he's still like this now that he has no feelings for me."

"Yamami-senpai, this is the situation I fear the most."

Yamamiya Moki looked at her in confusion.

"Chun Jun must have a mixture of love and hate for me, because he is not a cold person at heart."

"When he truly hates you, he'll quietly digest all the emotions he has for you. If you don't notice, by the time he's completely digested his love and hate for you, you'll be nothing more than a stranger in his eyes."

Yamami Moki recalled the boy's polite attitude when she first met him, and recalled the red train that carried her and Matsueda Jun through the forest.

If the process were reversed, it would be unbearable.

"So I have to confess to him after the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, before he's completely absorbed in me, to shake his emotions and leave a deep impression."

As long as she can achieve this, it will be a victory for Tomatsu Tomoka.

"For me, pursuing Jun Matsueda is like swimming in a long river."

"No matter how fast the current is, you must keep your eyes on him and never let go."

When sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will move backward. Shan Jian Moji understands this principle.

The bus drove along the Keiyo Road onto the bridge. The two looked out the window at the Komatsu River, wondering how many rugged paths and obstacles lay hidden beneath its wide and tranquil surface.

Yamami Maki patted her cheeks lightly with both hands, "Okay! We will definitely win and let Matsueda-san see the most dazzling Tomatsu Yuka, the ace of Haneoka High School's brass band!" Tomatsu Yuka smiled gratefully. The bus passed the Edogawa Ward Office and began to slow down. The girls sitting in the front row could already see the arched glass dome of the Edogawa Ward Cultural Center.

"We're getting ready to get off the bus, everyone pack up your things~"

The train car began to bustle. Jun Matsueda sat in the back seat, motionless. He had nothing to pack. He had already put on his suit, shirt, and trousers; he only needed to put on his jacket and tie before going on stage.

The school bus stopped at the entrance of the Edogawa Comprehensive Cultural Center. There were school buses from other schools next to it, and many people were going in and out of the entrance with musical instruments.

Today is the day, the girls thought in unison.

Winning the national gold medal is certainly very difficult, but for them, the most important thing is whether they can get a ticket to the national conference.

The All Japan Wind Music Competition, known as the "Koshien" of wind music, has the highest popularity and attention for the high school group, which is sometimes even evaluated as "performances beyond professional level."

Among four thousand schools, only twenty-nine can step onto the most glorious stage.

When they first entered school, the cherry blossoms filled the campus, the air filled with the scent of spring. As the girls entered the wind band classroom, they had no idea what lay ahead, what joys and hardships lay ahead. Here, they would devote their unforgettable youth to realizing their dreams.

The girls stepped out of the school bus, bathed in the dazzling sunlight reflected from the glass roof of the venue, their bodies filled with anticipation and anxiety about the future.

"Hurry up and take your musical instruments and personal belongings into the preparation room!" Hironchi Aya directed the girls to act.

After half a month, seeing the sexy older sister change back into her teacher's uniform, Matsueda Jun felt a little uncomfortable.

"Matsueda, can you help move the musical instruments later? Some girls are not strong enough." Yamami Moki came to him.

"No problem." He could carry things slowly with everyone during training, but now he has to hurry up in the face of the competition. He can understand that.

Tomatsu Tomoka stood in front of the venue's gate, bowed her head and prayed.

Any deity will do, please hear my prayer.

Ever since I met Junjun and fell in love with him, my life has taken another turn.

However, good things never came my way. Not only did I encounter troublesome opponents and disgusting villains, but even my caring mother did not support me.

I know I deserved it for doing something I shouldn't have done.

But I still want to pray that you will be kind enough to protect me, never change your mind, and give me a chance to reconcile with him.

Please forgive my greed. We are tiny human beings, and when it comes to love, we are always as greedy as the devil.

If my dream comes true, I will confess my sins to you as I did to him.

"Why haven't you gone in yet? Everyone is waiting for you."

The girl raised her head and saw a young man with his shirt sleeves rolled up, revealing half of his arms.

"I've been thinking about something for a while. Could you please take me to the preparation room, Jun-kun?"

Tomatsu Tomoka took her saxophone and followed Matsueda Jun into the darkness inside the gate.

Give me his kiss, as mercy to a sinner.
