I play wind instruments in Kansai.

"A person's role in the brass band is not limited to being concerned about the club. As long as they participate in activities and maintain their skills, that's enough. Senior Anhe and Liu Mu are both very important to the brass band."

Isn't that a bit two-faced?

"Yes, I'm the kind of person who likes compromise the most."

Gongling Wang did not refute, nor was he willing to back down in front of Yugong Jin, and boldly met her gaze.

An Hechun smiled gently, clasped his hands behind his back, and said:

"It's okay. I won't be angry even if you tell the truth. I will actively participate in club activities in the future, and I will abide by the practice schedule."

"I'm very sorry, I didn't mean anything by it." Sumire Amamiya gave a deliberately flattering look.

However, Liu Mujie Deng just sneered and even let out a soft hum.

Sumire Amamiya didn't seem to care about her perfunctory attitude, but then, as if throwing a tantrum, she pouted her cherry-red lips and said:

"I think I upset Yanagi-san. I'm sorry. I asked Kirishima-san and Daidouji-senpai the same question. They are both very respectable people."

"Kirishima-san and Daidouji-senpai are indeed very respectable people," these words lingered in Yuuto Yanagi's ears.

The subtext of this statement is that Liu Mujie has a bad temper and is not respectable at all?

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Are you mocking me for not being as magnanimous as them?" Liu Mujie Deng didn't hold back at all and questioned her directly.

"No no no."

Sumire Amamiya grinned mischievously.

"They are both very good, but I still prefer Willow, who is more honest, like... a honey badger."

"puff--"

Erika Toda, however, still felt the atmosphere was great and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

"It's a good thing."

As if to prevent the willow knot lantern from bursting open, Sumire Amamiya added another sentence.

"Even I wish I could be an animal like a honey badger."

Her voice was so affectedly sweet and affected that it was nauseating. Gong Lingwang finally got to know this girl better; everything she said was deliberately affected.

But it was obvious that his team leader, Erika Toda, had always thought Sumire Amamiya was incredibly cute and had been deeply attracted to her.

An Hejun stared intently at Amamiya Sumire and asked in a calm voice:

"Amamiya-senpai, you're so cute."

"Well, I think so too."

Faced with praise, Sumire Amamiya wasn't particularly modest.

"But compared to everyone else, I'm still a little bit lacking."

"Where's Kato? I haven't seen her at all," Kohinata Hina asked.

Sumire Amamiya lifted her left foot, the toe of her indoor shoe gently tapping the floor as she said:

"I don't know, she left as soon as the meeting ended."

"Speaking of which, what rank is the oboe in this arrangement?" Erika Toda asked.

Sumire Amamiya remained silent for a long while, then touched her chin with her small hand and murmured after a long time:

"I'm not sure about that..."

"Usually, using two oboes is the most reasonable approach."

Gong Lingwang leaned against the windowsill, raised his hand to smooth his bangs, and said...

"Although the oboe has strong penetrating power, a single one can easily be drowned out in a full 55-person passage. Two oboe playing together can enhance the thickness. Many works now have oboe harmony. One oboe can only play a single melody and cannot handle two lines of counterpoint."

“Speak properly, why are you putting on airs!” Seeing his “pretentious flirting,” Liu Mujie Deng felt a surge of anger.

A faint smile played on Shiraishi Hitomi's lips as she raised a hand to smooth her hair and said:

"It's beautiful."

"......"

Willowwood Yuzuki merely glanced at her without saying anything, all of which was observed by Amamiya Sumire.

“However, given the current situation, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to give up the spot to another voice group?” Anhejun said.

"That's right. Because Kato is not ambitious at all and her learning progress is very slow, even though she is middle class, it is difficult for her to play in a competition within three months."

Gong Lingwang felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

An Hechun sighed and said:

"pity."

Gong Lingwang's facial muscles twitched violently.

What a pity! Most of them were dragged to play games by you. This senior with long black hair really has no self-awareness at all!

"Middle class?" Sumire Amamiya asked, puzzled.

"Oh, just a joke. Her family is quite wealthy," Gong Lingwang said casually.

Sumire Amamiya nodded.

At that moment, Hayami Tenma Sei stood at the door and called out, "Miyarei, come out here."

Gongling Wang had been waiting for a while, and hurriedly followed him out.

Yuki Yuzuki frowned slightly. She simply couldn't understand why Supervisor Hayami kept looking for Miyamune.

“Miyarei-kun is very popular.” Amamiya Sumire stepped forward, seemingly blending into the group.

"Of course, he's very handsome, and his flute skills are excellent. He's also very gentle with girls," Erika Toda said with a smile.

"Eh~~"

Sumire Amamiya clasped her hands in front of her, glancing sideways at Yuuki Tsubaki, and said...

"It seems that Liu Mu is quite adept at training people, as he has managed to train Gong Ling-kun to be like this."

Upon hearing her words, Shiraishi Hitomi suddenly tensed her legs, but remained silent.

"Huh? Can you please not talk like that? It's disgusting," Liu Mujie said.

"But I find it strange. Liu Mu clearly likes him a lot, so why does she say they're not a couple? And she acts like she doesn't care at all."

Sumire Amamiya's words sounded very harsh, but she herself seemed completely at ease.

"There must be a lot of girls in the department who like him. Aren't you afraid they'll just snatch him away?"

She paused mid-sentence, then glanced at him and said meaningfully:

"Hey, Shiraishi-kun?"

When her name was called, Shiraishi Hitomi paused for a moment, then looked up blankly, her mouth opening and closing, but she didn't say anything.

However, the gaze emanating from his eyes seemed utterly powerless.

Yuki Yuzuki's clenched fist trembled slightly. She hated people like Sumire Amamiya and didn't know what she had done to offend her.

"Okay, I was just joking. I also really like Miyamine-kun. We'll be good friends from now on."

The atmosphere gradually became awkward. Sumire Amamiya's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened. She revealed someone else's true feelings, only to be met with a casual, dismissive response.

"Speaking of which...should I ask for some compensation...after all, it's my own oboe..."

She muttered to herself as she walked out of the practice room, leaving a few girls staring at each other awkwardly.

Kohiko Hina was very flustered. She thought that only she knew that Shiraishi Hitomi and Miyamine Nozomi were having an affair, but in the current situation, what should she say?

"Uh... Shall we go play games tonight?" Kohinata Hina suddenly turned her head, reached out and grabbed Anwa Jun's finger.

"Huh?" An Hechun was taken aback for a moment. "That works too."

"Shall we go together, Kiyotaka? I'll also go call Kato and talk to him about the oboe while I'm at it?"

Willowwood Yutaka initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought that what Miyamine Nozomi said about "two oboes" made sense, so he could only nod.

◇

Following Hayami Tenma Sei down the stairs, they also encountered other female members of the brass band along the way.

Miyamine Nozomi thought that what he said in the classroom was enough to make the club members hate him, but it seems that the reality is not as he thought.

Hayami Tenma continued walking forward, standing a few meters away and waiting for him.

"Gong Ling, um, could you say that again?"

The three girls in the clarinet group stepped forward excitedly, without a trace of disgust on their faces.

"What?" Gongling Wang asked.

"That's the one,"

"Um... could you say that again?"

"what?"

"That's the one..."

One of the girls, with short brown hair, rubbed her throat and said with a tense expression,

"Don't forget who you are, how dare you speak to me like that!"

"They look so alike! Hahaha!"

"Right!"

The three of them laughed to themselves, while Gong Lingwang forced a bitter smile onto his face:

"I don't think I said the second half of my sentence, did I?"

"Oh, who cares? He's handsome, that's enough! Can you say it just once? Please~~~"

A girl leaned close to Gong Lingwang's ear and whispered:

"Just say it once, and I'll let you touch Hanada's breasts. They're a C-cup, but they're really soft!"

"Never!"

The girl called Hanada blushed and raised her hand to pat the girl next to her.

Unfortunately, Miyamine Nozomi isn't very interested in breasts. If he had to make a ranking, he would put them from the bottom of the list of girls to the top.

"Okay, but I'll only say what I've already said."

Gong Lingwang coughed and said...

"And don't forget who you are."

"Ahhhhh!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them simultaneously raised their voices and shouted.

"So handsome! He's got such a great vibe!"

"Gong Ling, it's okay if you scold us more often."

"Hmm, that sounds nice! Although Daidouji is strict, he has never said that to us before, nor has he ever said it to our previous advisors."

"...Hehehe."

They were like parched land receiving rain...

I thought they would be disliked, but judging from the current situation, the girls in the Haruki Brass Band seem to have some strange quirks.

“Come here, come here. I know the art department used to have some unused rooms here. They could be locked, and nobody ever came here.”

One of the girls grabbed Miyamune's arm, her pleated skirt swaying gently as she walked.

"Where to?" Gong Lingwang stopped abruptly.

"Didn't we agree that you could touch me as long as you asked? Liu Mu won't know. Just tell the advisor that you have something to do."

Gong Lingwang was startled. He did like playing with girls, but he really didn't like this kind of behavior.

That's too casual.

"No, no, I have to go now. Supervisor Hayami is still waiting for me."
