I play wind instruments in Kansai.

There was another person beside her who played the tuba in the club, named Shinobu Yamada, and her attire was similar to hers.

The two were about the same size, except that Shinobu Yamada was noticeably taller than Sumire Amamiya.

Moreover, eyesight seems to be more effective, Gong Lingwang thought, looking in the direction she was pointing.

Sumire Amamiya cast a glance at her, but unlike Shinobu Yamada's slightly agitated expression, she seemed completely unconcerned.

When she realized that the girl opposite Miyamune Nozomi didn't seem to be Yuuki Yuuki, her little face suddenly revealed a devilish expression, and she pulled Yamada Shinobu towards them.

"Good evening, Gong Ling, and also—"

"I speak in a light tone, bowing slightly as I look at Hitomi Shiraishi," Sumire Amamiya said.

"Ah, Shiraishi-kun, I didn't expect it to be you. I thought it was Yanagi-kun, after all, it's so late."

Whether Shiraishi Hitomi didn't hear clearly or simply didn't care, she just nodded.

"Since we've met, let's eat together?" Amamiya Sumire said with a smile, sitting down next to Miyamine Nozomi.

Her actions caused a change in the expressions of both Shinobu Yamada and Hitomi Shiraishi.

“Um…then I’ll sit here. Hehehe, good evening, Miyamune-kun.” Yamada Shinobu forced a stiff smile.

Good evening, Yamada-kun.

"Well--!"

She seemed somewhat flattered when her name was revealed.

Sumire Amamiya tapped her fingers on the table, her neatly manicured nails gleaming.

"Should we greet Shiraishi-kun first?"

"Good evening, Shiraishi-kun," Yamada Shinobu said with an awkward smile.

"Okay, good evening."

Amamiya Sumire turned her head to look at Miyamine Nozomi and smiled:

"I was quite surprised to see you here at first, but then I thought, with someone as good-looking as Miyamune, it's normal for him to be with other girls occasionally, since it's beyond our control, right, Shiraishi-kun?"

On the surface, she was explaining, but in reality, she was cursing both of them.

The girl's symmetrical hair swayed gently, and she put on a cute and endearing smile, her sandal-clad feet tiptoeing with great interest.

"Because the food here is delicious!"

Before Miyamine Nozomi could answer, Yamada Shinobu stepped in to defend him.

"I often eat here! I can even have a small bowl in the evening when I have some free time, and it makes me sleep really well!"

Sumire Amamiya looked at her with a bored expression and said:

"What's so good about this place? If I were to rate it, this is all I'd say."

She herself knew she couldn't make a fuss inside the store, so she made a "one" gesture.

Yamada Shinobu spread his hands, revealing a resolute expression, and said:

"very!"

Sumire Amamiya sighed, rested her elbows on the table, cupped her face in her hands, and gave a sly smile, her eyes crinkling slightly.

"Isn't Gongling going to say anything?"

“Shiraishi and I are practicing,” Miyamine Nozomi said.

"So late?" Sumire Amamiya asked meaningfully, "Can't we practice at school?"

"The Shiraishi family owns a musical instrument store."

"Well......"

Sumire Amamiya was genuinely taken aback, but seemingly unwilling to give up, she hummed twice and continued speaking.

"So, Yanagi-san is inferior to Shiraishi-san?"

“I didn’t say that.” Gong Lingwang felt that she always had something in her words.

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Sumire Amamiya suddenly narrowed her eyes and leaned close to his ear, saying:

"Boys really enjoy playing with the feeling of transgression, don't worry, I definitely won't tell Liu Mu."

Her voice gently brushed against the cartilage inside her ear, each syllable carrying a hook-like, sweet yet slightly astringent aftertaste.

Gongling Wang turned his head to look at her. Underneath the innocent expression of Amamiya Sumire, with her big, blinking eyes, there was a deep sense of amusement.

"..."

Gong Lingwang pursed his lips, feeling that explaining too much to her would only lead him astray.

"What a disappointment."

Seeing that he didn't reply, Sumire Amamiya shrugged, looking helpless.

"Kato-kun hasn't left the club. There are two oboes in the club now, but only one obo is eligible for the A grade."

"Ah."

At this moment, the waiter brought over mashed potatoes, potato salad, and a few fried shrimp. It seemed that these small items were ordered by the two of them.

"I don't have any requirements regarding the number of spots, so I'm fine with whatever happens."

Sumire Amamiya picked up a fork and scooped up some mashed potatoes.

"Don't worry about taking extra care of the newcomers, after all, I've only been in the department for a short time."

"This has nothing to do with joining the club. It's more important that you get to compete on stage."

"Why are you being so polite, Gongling? I'm happy as long as you have this intention. Even if you end up doing something completely unrelated to this, it's okay with me."

Sumire Amamiya narrowed her eyes as if savoring the moment, then wiped her lips with a tissue, completely obscuring the shape of her small mouth.

Miyamine Nozomi simply couldn't reconcile her with Daidouji Seiko; the two were far too different.

"Speaking of which, don't you and Daidouji-senpai get along well?" Miyamine asked. "She does seem to care about you quite a bit."

Sumire Amamiya forked a handful of salad, put it into her cherry-like mouth, and said naturally:

"I consider myself the cutest little sister in the world. If someone doesn't cherish me, it must be their fault."

"Wow, who said Sumire isn't domineering at all?" Yamada Shinobu said with a laugh.

Sumire Amamiya said dismissively:

"I've never gotten into any trouble."

"Really? I thought you were just wandering around all day to badmouth people."

"That's not a very nice thing to say. You're treating later," Sumire Amamiya said, pointing at her with her fork.

Why?

"Because if an angry girl pays the bill, she'll remember that meal for the rest of her life."

"Hehe, that'll make sure you remember me for the rest of your life."

"Then I'm really in a bad situation. I'll punish you by making you pay for all your drinks tomorrow."

While Shinobu Yamada and Sumire Amamiya chatted smoothly, the stiff expression on her face as soon as she met Nozomi Miyamine's gaze clearly betrayed her nervousness.

74. You're secretly doing sit-ups in your room, aren't you? (6K)

Before long, the buckwheat noodles for Miyamine Nozomi and Shiraishi Hitomi were served.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing in a place like this?" Gongling Wang asked while eating.

Buckwheat noodles aren't really that delicious. In his eyes, they're the same as instant noodles—something to eat occasionally, but if you eat too much, you won't be able to swallow them.

Amamiya Sumire watched him eat noodles and said:

"This kind of question is flawed. Restaurants are places to eat. What's wrong with my friend and I coming here to eat when we were hungry?"

"I mean, do you two live around here?"

"Cough-cough-"

Shiraishi Hitomi, sitting opposite him, was clearly choked, while Yamada Shinobu next to her raised her hands and said with a smile, "Eat slowly."

Sumire Amamiya rested her chin on her hand and said:

"Well, but I'm not really keen on giving you the specific address."

Gongling Wang said:

"I didn't intend to ask."

However, Sumire Amamiya curled her lips into a slight smile, saying with a hint of mockery:

"Because my older sister is very charming, it would be troublesome if a guy with ill intentions found out my address."

Are you talking about me?

"That's not what I meant."

Sumire Amamiya shook her head and said,

"Because she usually causes a lot of trouble, I think the number of people who hate her and those who like her is about half and half."

Her words sounded melodious and relaxed, but Gong Lingwang could vaguely sense that her expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

“The club is missing someone like Daidouji-senpai. Without her, I probably wouldn’t have been able to do this,” Miyane Nozomi said.

Wanting to help Yukito go to the national tournament is one thing, but gaining a foothold within the department is another.

A first-year student is still just a first-year student; if you want to set an example, you naturally need a third-year student.

The appearance of Daidouji Seiko did indeed accelerate the process of unifying the beliefs of the community.

Sumire Amamiya's silence was an implicit acceptance of Nozomi Miyamine's statement. Her legs stretched out under the table, and her feet, clad in sneakers, were kicking Shinobu Yamada's shoes.

"What?" Yamada Shinobu glared at her.

"Why did you stop talking to me after you sat down with Shiraishi?" Sumire Amamiya said, feigning a coquettish tone.

"That's because you've been talking to Miyamune the whole time, okay?"

"Hum-"

Amamiya Sumire tilted her head, giving Miyamine Nozomi a harmless and adorable look, and said...

"Miyare-kun, what do you think of Shinobu's tutti?"

"Hey! Why are you suddenly bringing this up!"

Yamada Shinobu's eyes widened, her lips tightened, and her face flushed as she spoke.

"Actually, it's pretty bad."

Gongling Wang said with a smile:

"It's alright. Have you studied this before?"

"Hmm..." Yamada Shinobu slightly hunched her shoulders, twisting a strand of hair between her fingers as she said, "I started learning it in second grade..."

"oops--"

At that moment, Sumire Amamiya raised her hands in front of Shinobu Yamada, stretched out her arms and spread her fingers, a look of surprise on her delicate face.

"It's strange, I can feel the warmth even from this distance."

Yamada Shinobu didn't react for a moment, but when he saw the playful look in Amamiya Sumire's eyes, he immediately understood that she was saying that his face was so hot that it could be used as a hand warmer.

A smirk played on her lips, and her foot under the table retaliated:

"Sister complex can be very heartwarming."

"Huh? What nonsense are you spouting here?"

Sumire Amamiya grinned, her eyelashes moving up and down forcefully with a touch of arrogance.

Yamada, suppressing his laughter, grew even more smug, gripping the edge of the table tightly with his fingers:

"In reality, she's a total siscon, but she pretends to be indifferent in front of others and keeps complaining to them, even though she's actually incredibly concerned."

"If what you're saying is true, then Shinobu really dislikes Miyamune-kun?"
