I play wind instruments in Kansai.

"Aren't you going to question me?" he asked proactively.

"You've already brought your family into this, so how can I question you?"

Willowwood Lamp shrugged and said,

"I've only heard that the currents in the Seto Inland Sea are quite strong, and it's easy to get swept up if you get too close. You might not be able to come back if you go."

"I wasn't thinking of going into the water..." Miyamine Nozomi said with a smile.

"So, that's all you wanted to say?"

"Correct."

"You can send me a message directly from your phone."

Wouldn't it show more sincerity to say it face-to-face?

“I think they’re all the same,” Liu Mujie Deng waved his hand and said, “I’m going back.”

"and many more."

Gongling Wang returned to the practice room, retrieved a bottle of lime drink, and said...

"Here, take this."

"it is good."

When offered a drink, Willow Wood Lamp was already able to take it without hesitation.

After she left, Miyamine Nozomi returned to the practice room, her gaze unconsciously falling on Shiraishi Hitomi, a feeling of indescribable guilt welling up in her heart.

Even lime drinks are considered a sin in his eyes.

◇

Nine o'clock in the morning, inside the first music classroom.

"It's so hot. Why don't we try to improve the playing environment for everyone? As the saying goes, an air-conditioned environment will make students more motivated."

Sumire Amamiya stood to the side, raising her fingers to pinch her uniform, trying to let a little air between the clothes and her skin; the hair at her temples was already soaked with sweat.

"Is there such a saying?" Kato Ai asked in a very soft voice.

Sari Amano, the head of the oboe and bassoon section, tilted her head curiously and said:

"It must be quite stuffy here, but why don't you pull your skirt up a little, Xiaojin?"

In Amano Sari's eyes, Amamiya Sumire was clearly hot, but no matter what, she would never choose to pull up her skirt to let the air out below.

Sumire Amamiya raised her hand as a fan and fanned her face, saying:

"I don't think it has anything to do with my dress. Even if I pull the dress up, it's still hot."

Amano Sari gave an awkward smile. She knew that Sumire was Daidouji Seiko's younger sister, and the two were surprisingly similar in this respect.

So, no matter how hot it is, the clothes won't shrink because of it. Is it because of a unique belief in your heart?

“Even so, wouldn’t a shorter skirt look prettier?” Kato Ai explained.

Sumire Amamiya ran her fingers through her bangs, speaking in a light and natural tone:

"I don't think that no matter how long my skirt is, it will change the fact that I'm cute."

"Uh......"

Kato Ai has no way of denying it; she is indeed quite cute.

Looking around, the members were all discussing something in hushed tones, with occasional soft laughter.

Everyone seemed relaxed about the upcoming selection results. Amano Sari didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Was she the only one who was nervous?

At that moment, the door to the first music classroom opened, and Hayami Tenma walked in, followed by Daidouji Seiko and Tani Kanon.

"Everyone quiet down. Next, Supervisor Hayami will announce the candidates for Editor A," Tani Hanane called out from the windowsill.

In no time, the once noisy first music classroom became quiet.

Kohinata Hina pursed her lips. She thought that getting into Class A shouldn't be a problem. She was just waiting to meet Rena and the others at the Wakayama Prefecture Conference.

Daidouji Seiko crossed his arms and addressed the club members who were already standing in line:

"Before the announcement, I want to say a few things. First, the selection results are irrefutable, but opinions on the results are allowed. Second, those who have entered the A-level section should not think they are safe. There are still more than four months until the national conference. Under these circumstances, there is plenty of time and anyone can make progress. The A-level personnel are not fixed, do you understand?"

The club members exchanged glances, then Sumire Amamiya raised her slender, fair arm and took the initiative to ask:

"Does this mean that the personnel in Section A can change at any time?"

"Correct."

Daidoji Seiko stared intently at her as she spoke.

"This is to maintain a high level of competitiveness within the club, which is beneficial to the club."

"So who makes the decision?" Sumire Amamiya asked curiously. "Is it solely by Supervisor Hayami, or by the seniors?"

Daidoji Seiko answered decisively:

"It will be decided jointly by Supervisor Hayami and club executives."

"Oh~~"

Amamiya Sumire's lips curled into a smile, and she leaned forward slightly, her gaze passing over someone's chest before landing on Miyamine Nozomi.

"What about Gong Ling? Does he also have this choice?"

When his name was suddenly called, Gong Lingwang raised his eyebrows slightly.

“He didn’t,” Daidouji Seiko said bluntly.

“Oh, I see. Miyamori-kun doesn’t have the right, but she did offer her opinion, right?” Amamiya Sumire said with a smile.

Hayami Tenma Sei smiled as gently as ever, clasping his hands in front of his lower abdomen, which was encased in a bodycon skirt, and said:

"Don't worry, Amamiya, with me here, there won't be any problems."

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Sumire Amamiya smiled back.

Daidouji Seiko glanced at her, but swallowed his words and didn't say anything more.

Hayami Tenma picked up the form on the multimedia table, raised his voice, and said:

"Next, I will announce the list of members of Group A. Members whose names are not called should not be discouraged. Group B can also participate in the competition, and it would be best if they could go to the Kansai Tournament."

"Please confirm if your name is called," said Gu Huayin.

"Now we're announcing the list, starting with the woodwind section, clarinet."

Hayami Tenma looked at the table. These lists were determined after a night of discussion with Daidouji Seiko and the others. Although some of them were unexpected, their opinions were similar.

Clarinet, fourteen people to make ten.

"Third grade, Tatsuno Sawamura."

"Yes!"

Ryūno Sawamura's sudden shout startled the girls around him, causing them to shrink back. The others burst out laughing at the sight.

"Quiet!" Daidouji Seiko coldly rebuked, forcing them to stop talking.

"Third-year student, Hanada Takano."

"Yes," the girl who had previously hunched her shoulders in shock echoed.

Gongling looked on.

This senior, who was three years old, was instigated by a friend to touch her breasts whenever he said, "Don't forget who you are."

Although it was just a joke and it never came true.

"Third grade, Shimakawa Yumina."

"exist!"

"Third grade, Ookuchi Akemi."

"Yes!"

These two are the seniors who previously instigated Hanada-senpai to let Miyamine Nozomi touch her breasts.

Miyamine Nozomi initially thought the three of them were like thugs, but during the audition, she was surprised to find that they were quite qualified in the clarinet club.

He just likes to talk nonsense.

"Second year, Hisae Kase."

"Yes!"

"First grade, Aoi Ferry".

"Yes!"

As Hayami Tenma continued reading, and the selection of the A section's clarinetists was finished, the atmosphere within the section gradually became somewhat awkward.

The clarinet section was supposed to have ten members, but only five of the second and third-year students in the A section were selected, and the remaining five were all first-year students.

Hey! Something's not right!

A girl with pigtails called out, looking somewhat anxious.

"How come there are five first-year students? This is too much!"

However, her words drew a cold stare from Daidouji Seiko, who said in a stern tone:

"Any questions can be discussed after the personnel announcement; please remain silent now."

"Hmm..."

The girl just bit her lower lip, her face full of resentment, while the girl next to her gently patted her back to comfort her.

When the list was confirmed last night, Hayami Tenma felt something was off, but he didn't dare to say anything.

That means there were too many qualified first-year students.

"Next, I will announce the list of oboe, bassoon, and piccolo sections. Please respond when I call your name."

"Bassong, third year, Amano Sari."

"Yes!"

"Oboe, first year, Sumire Amamiya."

"Yes."

"Flute, third grade, Erika Toda."

"Yes!"

"Flute, first year, Miyamine Nozomi."

"Yes!"

Piccolo, first year, Hitomi Shiraishi.

"Yes."

"above."

Kato Ai already knew that she had no hope of getting into the A section. The moment she didn't hear her name called, she felt a weight lifted off her shoulders and felt much lighter.

Hayami Tenma's gaze inadvertently swept over Miyamine Nozomi, only to find that his eyes were not on him at all, and he had no idea where he was looking.

Is he really going to return that thing to me?

"Supervisor Hayami, continue."

Daidoji Seiko's words immediately brought her to her senses.

"Ooh ooh ooh".

Fearing he would be discovered, Hayami Tenma Sei quickly looked down at the list:

"Next, the saxophone part will be announced."

As she finished reading the list of saxophone players, the commotion in the classroom gradually increased, but it wasn't the disappointed groans of those who hadn't been selected; instead, it was a sense of frustration and resentment.

The saxophone team narrowed down from nine to five students: one third-year student, two second-year students, and two first-year students.

Currently, the proportion of first-year students entering the A-level program is the largest, which has led to a polarization of the atmosphere within the department.
