I play wind instruments in Kansai.

"It depends on your performance. If you keep going to play games and have fun with Anhe and don't take this matter to heart, I definitely don't plan to teach you. But if you practice hard, I will keep practicing with you."

Miyamune's gaze was so sincere that it caused Kato Ai's cheeks to flush slightly.

Although she was trying to maintain a blank expression, it was still clear that she was more smug than usual.

Sure enough, even though he played the oboe very poorly, the man still liked him very much and was even willing to practice with him all the time.

Is this a confession of love, or just a literal interpretation?

What would happen to me if Yuki Tsubaki found out?

No, no, I'm friends with Liu Mu, how could I do something like this, a NTR incident where I steal someone else's love?

But.......

But........

He's so handsome and gentle, and he plays the flute so well...

As Kato Ai thought about it, her eyes narrowed more and more, her fingers unconsciously pressing the oboe keys repeatedly, and she could only mumble a very indistinct sentence:

"Then, let's cheer each other on."

[Market Update: Kato Ai +3%, Profit 18000 Yen]

[Analysis of the unusual movement: Gong Lingwang's affectionate advances made her feel valued, increasing the stock's upward momentum]

Current value: 17.8

Current holdings: 617989 yen

[Cumulative earnings: 33189 yen]

No?

Although Kato Ai's account did increase under his intervention and she gained considerable profits, is there something wrong with this unusual movement?

What does it mean to express affection? Gong Lingwang was completely stunned. When did he express his affection for her?

He wasn't sleeping.

etc.......

Miyamune Nozomi seemed to realize something.

To put it another way, does this mean that if you go on a dating trip, your stock will increase?

For example, if you were to establish a relationship with Liu Mujiedeng now, you might just reap a surge in stock prices due to love.

Then he would go around the club one by one, looking for girls who hadn't yet been allowed to play by the system, and using his looks and musical talent to entice them to improve.

If that's the case, this stock trading game becomes extremely simple.

But Miyamune Nozomi quickly dismissed this idea.

There are just too many stocks appearing in the system right now. He can't possibly talk to them all. If he doesn't go to the competition, he might end up being labeled a scumbag and killed before he even gets there.

Instead of wasting that energy, you should focus on managing the individual stocks.

The Kato Ai standing before me...

It's strange. The system clearly said she was a growth stock, but judging from her oboe talent, she doesn't seem to be a genius.

If he's not a genius, then why is he considered a growth stock?

That said, there's another "unicorn growth stock" in her own voice corps, Hitomi Shiraishi.

But this girl is quiet and reserved, so it might be difficult to get close to her.

Forget it, let's focus on the present and take it one step at a time.

"Don't skip your morning exercise. Lung capacity is also crucial for playing the wind instrument. You should go for a morning run or climb stairs, but the latter can hurt your knees, so a morning run is better."

"At school? What if we get caught?"

Gongling Wang said in a very serious tone:

"Do you also usually wear those tight-fitting shorts when you run? If so, I'd like to take a look."

"Uh...no, not really." Kato Ai grinned. "It's just that when the two of us run together, I always feel..."

"What do you mean two people? It's just you."

Gong Lingwang expressionlessly extended his fist towards her.

"Keep up the good work. You need to put in a lot of effort to stand in the spotlight. When the time comes, countless boys will be pursuing you."

"......hehe."

Not knowing what was so funny, Kato Ai chuckled softly and raised her hand to bump fists with him.

◇

A breeze swept in from the end of the playground, and the scorching heat of the afternoon was gone.

The marching practice of the wind band ended, and the sky in the distance had faded to a grayish-blue, like a sheet of cold velvet spread out.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Huayin walked forward carrying a bag containing several bottles of water she had just bought from a vending machine.

"Don't keep doing this. You don't need to keep buying water." Shida Nana raised her finger to smooth the damp bangs on her forehead and said, "We're all students, how much money could we possibly have?"

"It's okay, I don't usually go out much, so I can save money."

Tani Hanane forced a gentle smile, glancing at Daidouji Seiko, who seemed to be deep in thought.

What are you thinking about?

Daidoji Seiko took the water, unscrewed the cap, and tilted her head back. You could clearly see her neck moving slightly, and the curve from her neck down was exceptionally charming.

She took a shallow breath, raised the back of her hand to wipe the water from her lips, and said:

"Now that Supervisor Hayami has left the department, although I was very angry at the time, she was right. We need to be ruthless with ourselves."

Kanon Tani and Nana Shida exchanged a glance.

"What are we going to do?" Tani Hanane crossed one arm, her arm supporting her alluring breasts. "Make those who aren't good enough quit the club? Like Supervisor Hayami?"

Nana Shida directly retorted:

"That definitely won't work. We only have a little over sixty people, with fifty-five in the A section. To be honest, the number of people we can choose is already small."

Daidouji Seiko bit her right lip and said:

"The first thing to do is to change the mindset within the ministry."

"What is this situation regarding Marxism? Is this a class?"

Shida Nana grinned dejectedly and said...

"Could you explain it more clearly? Ideally, in a way that everyone can understand."

Daidouji Seiko remained silent for a moment, then looked sharply at Tani Hanane and said:

"Minister Gu Hua, as a minister, don't you have any thoughts on this?"

"Hmm?" Tani Hanane's eyes widened slightly, then softened as she tilted her head and smiled, "Even though I'm the club president, I've always listened to Seiko, you know?"

Daidoji Seiko scoffed impatiently, crossing his arms and saying:

“But you should at least show some attitude. Right now, the members only see you standing there without saying a word, and they think that I, the deputy minister, am holding you hostage.”

“The problem is, the Holy Son is doing very well right now,” said Gu Huayin.

Daidouji Seiko gripped the bottle tightly in her hand and said in a stern tone:

"Then why don't you just hand over the ministerial position to me?"

"Holy Son, do not say those words."

Nana Shida frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

"Gu Hua was chosen by the previous minister. You have no right to say this except for Gu Hua herself."

Daidouji Seiko's posture remained upright, and the words that uttered from his lips were unquestionable:

"Precisely because he was chosen by the previous minister, he should step down, shouldn't he? Since the previous minister was a conservative and lazy faction, the successor chosen by such a faction will only be a conservative and lazy faction, won't he?"

"That's going too far!"

Shida Nana widened her eyes and said in a dissatisfied tone,

"If Gu Hua were really as lazy as her predecessors, would you still be standing here talking to her?! Don't misunderstand people like that!"

The atmosphere gradually became heavy, and Tani Hanane took the initiative to speak:

“Holy Son, actually no one wanted to take on this thankless job back then. If you had said this to me when the semester started, I would have given the position of minister to you without hesitation, but not now.”

"In that case, do something to show your attitude to the members."

Daidouji Seiko spoke, her eyebrows slightly raised, giving her an extremely aloof appearance.

"If problems arise in the club, you can put all the blame on me, and I won't complain."

"Hmm..."

Gu Huayin remained silent for a moment, her flustered gaze flickering, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes that eased the tense atmosphere slightly.

"I understand. What else do you plan to do?"

Daidouji Seiko glanced at Shida Nana, her facial muscles tensing as she said:

"The capable should take the lead."

She paused here, a seductive glint of ambition flashing in her dark pupils.

"We don't prioritize age; everything is based on ability. This includes the involvement of supervisors. Only by working together can we reach higher levels."

Needless to say, Kanon Tani and Nana Shida knew what Seiko Daidouji wanted.

Gu Huayin's gaze softened, and her voice sounded both shy and natural:

"Holy Son, since that's the case, you must not regret it."

“I could never regret it,” Daidouji Seiko said resolutely.

Tani Hanako revealed a meaningful smile:

"Okay, I will explain my position to the members at that time, but I am not sure what will happen."

"I said I would take full responsibility."

Daidoji Seiko said.

"If you're going to be ruthless, just be ruthless to me alone. Anyway, we don't need a few more."

In her heart, Hayami Tenma Sei must already hate her to death.

"It's almost six o'clock, let's hurry up and go before it gets dark." After saying that, Daidouji Seiko walked towards the school building.

Shida Nana, with one hand on her hip, glanced back and forth between the two women and said:

"Don't be angry, that's just how the Holy Son is."

"I know, so I won't be angry."

Gu Huayin smiled and shook her head, her gaze falling on the somewhat dirty outdoor shoes.

“I know that she and I were never good friends.”

"Hmm—" Shida Nana nodded, then suddenly lowered her eyes somewhat awkwardly and said, "Then you and I—"

"Senior Sister Gu Hua".

Just then, a clear and melodious voice reached their ears. The two turned their gazes and found that it was Kirishima Ruka.

She moved quickly, changing out of her gymnastics uniform and into her usual loquat-colored uniform.

The wind, with its impure intentions, clung to her hips and thighs, revealing the girl's silhouette clearly.

"Ah, Ruka." A smile appeared on Tani Kanon's lips, and she said to Shida Nana, "I'm going now, be careful on the road."

"Uh... Ah? Ah, okay, goodbye." Shida Nana's heart skipped a beat.

After bowing to her in greeting, Kirishima Ruka left with Tani Kanon.

Shida Nana's mouth opened and closed slightly. Did the two of them know each other before? Why does it feel like the atmosphere when Tani Hanane is with her is better than when she's with me?
