I play the wind instrument in Hokkaido.

"Yeah, I didn't send it out. What about you?"

Saito Haruka stroked the ends of her slightly curled hair as she spoke.

"I have no intention of giving Kuno-senpai a gift. Although she said we'd made up, she still doesn't really like me. Girls like her are the easiest to guess."

“Ugh…” Kanzaki Eri’s breath sounded like a groan. “You know I’m going to deliver something.”

Saito Harutori glanced at the bag clutched tightly in her hand, then cupped her full, rounded breasts with one hand and said:

"I'm not that great. When I saw you bring something this morning, I thought it was for Kitahara-sensei."

"But then I thought, you probably wouldn't give him something bought from the market."

"Eri Kanzaki's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said through her small mouth, "I'll take it back and eat it myself."

Saito Harutori suddenly spoke up, "Why wasn't it given away? It was such a trivial gift."

Eri Kanzaki didn't speak, she just looked out the window.

The past few days have been cloudy, damp and cold in the hyacinth pipe area, but today the sun finally came out and the temperature dropped a few degrees.

The members of the horticulture department decided to pour the soil out of the potted plants to dry in the sun, but several girls were terrified by the earthworms inside and screamed in fright.

"Could it be because the items are too cheap? Girls might prefer things like cosmetics, so perhaps Eri should choose something a little better?"

Saito Haruki's voice was like a steel wire coated with icing sugar, or a clump of overly sticky cotton candy mixed with too much artificial saccharin.

Her sentences always ended with a tremolo, deliberately lingering in Eri Kanzaki's ear.

The girl glanced at Saito Harutori and said:

"not like this."

"What do you mean 'not'?" Saito Harutori narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Eri Kanzaki was silent for a moment, then continued, "No matter what I give her, she probably won't accept it."

Saito Haruka touched her long hair in front of her chest and said:

"why?"

The bag containing cucumbers could be heard making a "click" sound as Eri Kanzaki increased the pressure on her fingers.

"Sunny Bird, why do you always want me to say it out loud? You know it yourself."

Ah, this

Chapter 388, Section 387: Ensemble Competition, Lower Expectations (6) >>

Saito Harutori looked out the window and saw the two girls who had previously been afraid of shrimp worms squatting on the ground, playing with them.

"Because I'm not entirely sure, but I think the fact that Kuno-senpai didn't accept the gift means it's actually unimportant."

However, Eri Kanzaki turned her head to the side, lowered her eyelids slightly, and said, "That's not how it is."

Saito Harutori abruptly raised her head, her eyes fixed on her without turning it, and her tone immediately became low and menacing.

“Huili, sometimes your attitude towards people is really hurtful. You always push your closest friends the furthest away.”

Hmm

Saito Harukori's words were vague and unclear, but Kanzaki Eri immediately understood.

She said that she had always maintained a "distant relationship" with Tsukiyo and Haruno, but she was "accepting" of Kuno Tachibana.

“I hope Huili will stay with us.”

Saito Haruka placed one hand on her chest, but it couldn't hide the outline of her beautiful breasts beneath her uniform.

"You probably think that the relationship between Kuno-senpai and Kitahara-sensei might have changed a bit while we were away on this school trip, right?"

Eri Kanzaki gently bit her lower lip, offering no rebuttal, as if finding an excuse for herself:

It was Kuno who saved Kitahara-sensei.

"The suspension bridge effect—even Kitahara-sensei can't escape it, right?"

Saito Haruka's voice suddenly changed, no longer its usual clear tone, but a deep, soothing quality, as if coated with a warm, honey-like viscous texture.

"I remember the people in the brass band were saying that Kuno-senpai's attitude towards Kitahara-sensei wasn't very good, but have you seen the photos and videos that Kurosawa-senpai posted on social media this time? Kuno-senpai and Kitahara-sensei have been together all the time. Don't you think this change is too fast?"

Kanzaki Eri gazed into her eyes, her pupils appearing even deeper beneath her thick eyelashes, each word punctuated by a perfectly timed, suggestive pause.

It seemed that every moment of silence concealed a mysterious allure between Kitahara-sensei and Kuno-senpai.

“Eri, I hope you can help me, please,” Saito Harutori said.

Eri Kanzaki's mouth was constantly exhaling air; her thoughts were too chaotic for her to answer for the moment.

Value Partner:

"Let me think about it." After saying that, Eri Kanzaki turned and walked towards the classroom.

Saito Harutori stood there, watching the girl's departing figure, when her eyes met those of Nagase Tsukiyo, who was leaving the classroom.

Nagase Tsukiyo also noticed the bag that Kanzaki Eri was clutching, but she assumed it was for Kitahara-sensei.

got rejected?

She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to. She could only watch as Kanzaki Eri returned to her own class.

Nagase Tsukiyo stepped forward, frowning as she asked:

"what happened?"

"Why don't you ask yourself? Why do I have to tell you everything?" Saito Harutori said with a forced smile, "Do you think I'm a recording device?"

Nagase Tsukiyo's fingers tightened, clutching her sleeve as she said:

"The gift for Kitahara-sensei, was it not given out?"

"Saito Harutori's gaze towards her held a hint of frustration and disdain, but she still smiled and said, 'Tsukiyo, have you ever drowned?'"

“Huh? Of course not,” Nagase Tsukiyo said.

She started developing her water skills in elementary school and really enjoys playing in the water in the summer. However, since Ms. Kitahara took over this year, the brass band has been very busy, leaving her no time to go swimming.

"It's a good thing for you to occasionally drown," Saito Harutori smiled ambiguously, seemingly mocking her slowness in this regard.

Nagase Tsukiyo clenched her small hands. Was this person really thinking like a high school student? Unbelievable.

"Aomori, how many of you are going?"

"Hmm? You're coming along?" Saito Harutori raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I'm just in case you do anything bad."

“Then you shouldn’t go.” Saito Harutori’s choice of words became extremely precise. “I’m going there to do bad things.”

Her bluntness left Nagase Tsukiyo speechless.

"Wait, what are you trying to do? You're still a student!" Nagase Tsukiyo asked in a low voice.

Saito Harutori gave him only a brief, yet incredibly focused, look:

"Next year won't be the same, so I want to be with him forever."

The sound seemed to resonate with a strange resonance, vibrating directly in Nagase Tsukiyo's chest, quietly synchronizing with her heartbeat.

It was as if the voice wasn't coming from Saito Haruka's mouth, but rather a soliloquy from the depths of her heart.

"Sunny Bird! Did you see my new hairstyle yesterday? Want to try it on? How about a princess knot?"

Just then, several third-year female students came up the stairs and happened to pass by Saito Haruka.

"Not yet. I think a middle part is already pretty good, and I don't plan to change my hairstyle."

"I really want to see your other hairstyles!"

The three chatted as they walked toward the classroom, leaving only Nagase Tsukiyo behind.

It seems she has no choice but to go to Aomori.

During lunch break, in the club building, in the first music classroom of the wind band department.

"So! The next activity is—!"

The girl stood in front of the blackboard, her grip on the chalk awkward yet forceful, her fingertips taut and white.

The moment the chalk touched the dark green blackboard, it made a series of sharp, short scraping sounds, like a fingernail accidentally scratching glass, making one's jaw clench.

"Why can't we let Eto-senpai write it?" Matsuoka Nobuyuki muttered under his breath, "My anus is getting tight just listening to it."

Kami Takahashi tapped the blackboard heavily with chalk and said:

"Who is speaking?"

She glanced around the classroom, then buried herself in writing again.

Finally, the words "Christmas Hakodate Offline Performance Event!" were written crookedly on the blackboard.

Kana Eto clapped her hands and stepped forward, immediately drawing everyone's attention to her:

"As you can see, our Shin-Asahi Band will also be participating in the Hakodate Christmas in-person performance. However, we have exams at the end of this month, so we hope that everyone can start preparing for the exams first."

Member: "Yes!"

"Minister! Will the White Lily from Hakodate be there this time too?"

Bai Lily is a girls' high school in Hakodate. Her playing is just average, only slightly better than Shen Xu before the revamp, but she still often experiences tremors.

But for boys, as long as it's an all-girls school, the breeze from the girls smells sweet.

"Yes, it will."

Kana Eto nodded. Since becoming the head of the brass band, she has frequently contacted the brass band executives in Hakodate, including those at Shirayuri Girls' School.

It wasn't for a social gathering, but simply to learn about each other's club management and exchange experiences.

"I'm going to find a partner, guys!" Matsuoka Nobuyuki said with great enthusiasm.

Tianhai Cang and the others were also full of hope, feeling that if they didn't find a partner soon, they would be utterly inhuman.

The boys' excitement drew unanimous disdain from the girls.

If you have this idea, and you see so many girls when you go out, and you've been on the tram for so long, why are you still single after more than ten years?

Look for your own reasons.
