I play wind instruments in Kansai.

Kirishima Ruka once said that only a few people knew about it. Although she didn't say it explicitly, the subtext was that she hoped he wouldn't tell anyone.

"Yeah, how could such a thing happen? It sounds unbelievable."

Kato Ai looked rather disappointed, tilting her head back to look at the ceiling and saying,

"Kirishima-san seems so kind and cute, she's unlikely to do anything bad. I can sense that she has a very fresh and sweet temperament."

Gong Lingwang did not answer; he could not vouch for anyone but himself.

Kirishima Ruka may be very familiar with him, but she herself is not.

However, she is indeed very refreshing.

[Market Changes]

[Willow Knot Lantern Stock: Up 5%]

[Analysis of the unusual activity: The community is gradually getting back on track, boosting confidence; the stock's upward index surged 5%]

Current stock price: 58.1

[Profit: 5%, Total: 277 yen]

Suddenly, a system notification appeared in front of him, and Gong Lingwang subconsciously looked towards the door of the first music classroom.

It seems their negotiations went well, causing the value of Liu Mujie's stock to rise.

But my earnings were only 277 yen...

Gong Lingwang felt a deep sense of powerlessness upon seeing this number; the strawberry milk sold in the school's vending machines cost more than that.

The principal is still too small. I need to find a way to increase the principal. At least I need to reach the level of millions to make a profit.

He then opened other stock charts and found that other stocks had all risen by 0.5% to 5%.

Even Kirishima Ruka's price increased by 1, which, though small, is still an increase.

0.5 and 0.8 are respectively for Tani Hana-senpai and Shida-senpai, truly befitting their stable and reliable nature.

At that moment, the door to the first music classroom opened.

See you tomorrow.

Kanon Tani held Ruka Kirishima's small hands and said,

"I'm looking forward to what might happen in the future, and I hope you, Kirishima-kun, will have high hopes for us."

"Thank you, senior students."

Kirishima Ruka withdrew her hand, bowed slightly to the group, and turned to put on her indoor shoes.

Miyamine Nozomi was eager to know what had happened, when Kato Ai stepped forward and said:

"Kirishima-kun, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, from now on Kirishima-kun is a member of our brass band. Let's work together." Daidouji Seiko said with her arms crossed and her tone solemn.

Gong Lingwang was stunned.

—What's wrong? Is this a happy ending for everyone? Aren't you going to fight?

He didn't believe it.

"Is this junior Gong Ling?"

Gu Huayin's gaze fell on him, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"I heard from Kirishima-senpai that you used to play the flute?"

"Yes."

“We are in dire need of flutes, and we are in great need of them. Why don’t you join the troupe?”

"Wait, Miyamune, didn't you tell me that we have no shortage of flutes? What do you mean by this?!" Kato Ai exclaimed.

"Row."

"Wait, you've already agreed?!"

"I'm not good at sports, so I don't want to join sports clubs, and I'm not interested in other clubs either."

Even so, the brass band is considered a semi-sports club, and Miyamine Nozomi had planned to join the brass band from the beginning, but it was delayed because of Kirishima Ruka.

"Then come in, I'll personally help you with your admission."

Tani Hana reached out and suddenly grasped Miyamine Nozomi's arm, her gentle and sweet smile coming into view.

She exuded an alluring milky scent, and the glimpses of her fair legs beneath her sailor uniform made Miyamine Nozomi's palms sweat slightly.

“Hmm…” Liu Mujie saw it all, but dared not say a word.

"I want to join too!" Kato Ai shouted.

"Sure."

Tani Hanane's deliberately lowered voice carried a hint of allure, causing even Kato Ai to feel a jolt in her heart.

"Junior, do you have any experience in this area?"

"No, no, but if you don't mind, I can learn very quickly."

Kato Ai swallowed hard. Tani Hana-senpai looked so beautiful, mature, and innocent, like a divorced girl who had never married or had children.

"Really? That's wonderful." Gu Huayin smiled. "Holy Son, please take her to the appropriate vocal department."

9. Smiley faces are not allowed in the chat room.

Inside the first music classroom.

"I am Kanon Tani, the head of the Haruki Wind Ensemble. The instrument I am in charge of is the euphonium, and I am also the leader of the bass section."

As Gu Huayin spoke, she sat down on the steel pipe chair. The hard edge of the wooden chair quietly dug into the skin of her thigh, forming a shallow, soft indentation.

Through the thin fabric of the skirt, you can see the squeezed buttocks and thighs spread out slightly to the sides, presenting an unguarded appearance.

"This is our orchestra's principal player, Nana Shida, who plays the bass saxophone. Well... there's nothing else that needs to be explained."

The musical instrument held in Shida Nana's arms was a heavy brass object.

The enormous bell-shaped opening resembles an elegant, blooming golden tulip, while the curved body of the tube flows smoothly, radiating a warm, honey-like luster.

"That person just now was Daidoji Seiko, the vice president of our brass band, a trumpet player, a very pretty girl."

Gu Huayin raised her hand and pointed to the cabinet against the wall, her voice gentle yet full of feminine power.

"You can go and see what's inside; it might be quite interesting."

"Wait, can't we just start?"

Nana Shida stood to one side with her legs crossed.

"The cabinets aren't anything special, and since I didn't get them myself, there's no reason for me to show them off."

"I'm not showing off to junior Gongling." Gu Huayin smiled and clapped her hands lightly. "So, junior Gongling, are you sure you were ever in the Shenxu Wind Ensemble?"

"of course."

"If you have experience, that's best. I have a lot of trouble dealing with freshmen who have no experience at all, since everyone's idea of ​​instrument allocation is always too idealistic."

So they handed Kato Ai over to Daidoji Seiko.

Many freshmen only chose to go together because they thought "I want to play this instrument" or "This instrument looks cool," without thinking too much about it.

"Speaking of which, what is your relationship with Liu Mu?" Gu Huayin asked.

Shida Nana glanced at her and said, "Does it matter if you ask that?"

"I'm just curious, since being in love can affect your playing."

"Just ordinary friends."

Gongling Wang considers herself a friend, after all, they have known each other since childhood.

"Were you editor A or editor B before?" Shida Nana, standing to the side, wanted to get straight to the point, her eyes subtly revealing a hint of anticipation.

Gongling Wang answered truthfully:

"Editor B, the competition for Editor A is too fierce, there are too many people, and it's very tiring."

Nana Shida raised an eyebrow and simply nodded.

"Do you want to continue playing the flute, or choose to switch to another section?" Tani Hanane asked.

"I also can."

"Looks like the type who's willing to contribute to the team."

Gu Huayin leaned forward slightly, her two round breasts resting on the table, a charming smile on her face.

"Then I can't let you go."

Nana Shida set her bass saxophone aside and stared intently at Miyamine:

Do you have your flute with you?

"No, I left it at home."

He hasn't even joined the wind instrument club yet, so how could he possibly bring a flute to school?

"What flute?" she continued to ask.

Gu Huayin stopped talking, just kept watching the two of them and smiling, her slender white fingers playing with the ends of her hair.

"Yamaha's YFL-222."

“Hmm…” Shida Nana looked down at Tani Hanane and blinked.

Tani Hanayone raised her hand to smooth her hair, her lips tracing a smooth curve:

"It's a typical entry-level model, with a closed-hole C-tail, curved lines, and I don't think it has an E-key for separation, right?"

"Correct."

The E-key split is a device that makes it easier to play the high E. It may be dispensable for masters, but it is a very good device for learners.

"Our wind instrument department's company-issue flutes have a B-hole? And they're made with a pure silver headstock and a nickel-silver body, all in excellent condition," said Gu Huayin.

The B hole has an extra low-pitched B compared to the C hole, but it is rarely used and the pitch is more difficult to control.

The price of a flute is determined by its materials. The so-called nickel-silver plating refers to the fact that nickel-silver is the skeleton of the flute, that is, the material, while silver plating is the surface treatment.

The next level features a sterling silver mouthpiece, followed by solid silver flutes, gold flutes, platinum flutes, and flutes made of mixed materials, all of which command higher prices.

The most direct way to see if a school cares about its wind instrument section is to check the value of the public instruments and their condition.

If what Kanon Tani said is true, then the Osamu Wind Ensemble is not beyond redemption.

“Good instruments are just icing on the cake,” said Gong Lingwang. “The most expensive instruments are not necessarily the best; the best instruments are those that are suitable for the music.”

"See, I knew he was a boy who cared a lot about the team," Tani Hanane said to Shida Nana with a smile.

Nana Shida crossed her arms and said bluntly:

"Can you play a tune on the spot?"

“Yes, but I don’t have any musical instruments right now,” Miyamune Nozomi said.

"I'll get it."

As she left the first music classroom, the butterfly scarf on her chest swayed gently.

"Don't worry, no matter how badly you play, you'll get in," Gu Huayin said with an innocent smile. "We're not that strict."

"It's alright," said Miyamune Nozomi.

"Oh, you seem very confident. I'm really looking forward to it!"

Her affability made Miyamine Nozomi feel like the afternoon sun, making people unconsciously relax their shoulders, while at the same time having a deeper, more procreative attraction.

The two didn't have much time alone before Shida Nana came in carrying a rectangular hard-shell box, which was spotless.

Gong Lingwang could tell at a glance that it was the same model as his instrument.

"Isn't this instrument a bit lacking?" Gu Huayin asked.

Why didn't you say so earlier?
