"You're telling me I'm going to wear a skirt and show you my butt? No way!"
no."
"It's about my resignation. I felt I couldn't delay any longer and I should explain it to everyone."
Chapter 370, 369. Shenxu's Performance Audition (4.6)
"It peed!"
"Really! This is the first time I've ever seen sheep urine!"
"How can it be!"
The girls inside the small house screamed in terror. Kitahara Hakuba watched them and laughed, while Kuno Tachibana remained silent.
“We might support other schools’ brass bands in the future,” Kitahara Hakuba suddenly said.
Kuno Tachibana paused, then put on a wrong expression and said:
"Does Kitahara-sensei have a penchant for destroying the groups he himself created?"
"That's not what I meant."
The conversation between the two ended.
After a while, Kitahara Hakuba continued:
"Because I was born to teach playing instruments, and if I can't do this, I feel like I have no interest in life."
Kuno Tachibana remained silent. To be honest, she was a little angry because if that was the case, why couldn't she stay in Shin-Asahi forever?
Perhaps it was because she didn't want to hear him say, "I just simply don't want to stay and teach at Shin-Asahi," that Kuno Tachika felt a chill run down her spine, even if it was a lie.
But other girls might think it's a waste for a genius like Kitahara-sensei to stay at Shin-Asahi School.
After molesting the black-faced sheep, the girls in the house took a few photos in the pasture and then went down the mountain in order to make it to tonight's playing practice.
"I didn't get to play much all day; it felt like I was always on the go," Kurosawa Maki muttered to herself on the street.
Mia Nagasawa glanced at Yu Goto, who was leaning against her shoulder, and reached out to brush a strand of hair from her cheek.
"Isn't that how it is when you go out to play? How can you possibly see all the attractions in one day?"
"What do I smell like?" Kana Eto grabbed her collar and sniffed repeatedly. "Do I smell like mutton?"
"Sniff One"
Takahashi Kami brought her nose close to the girl's neck and could only smell the sweat seeping from under the girl's skin. "There's a little bit, but not much. It's definitely because you touched its butt for too long."
"Ah::::::" Kana Eto awkwardly hugged herself, as if that would stop the smell from spreading.
On the way back to the hotel, we passed through a long alley lined with shops selling desserts and cakes, even ice cream that wasn't in season.
They were supposed to go back immediately, but these girls couldn't walk anymore.
Matcha ice cream, stir-fried soba noodles, chocolate smoothie, and Kurosawa Maki also bought a Satsuma-style tea set.
"Why did you suddenly buy a tea set?" Nagasawa Miyako asked, puzzled.
Kurosawa Maki said excitedly:
"Don't you think this texture is cool? It looks like it's cracked but not quite separated! It's amazing!"
"Yes, the opening is very detailed, the pattern is very delicate, and the overglaze painting is exquisite, even in gold, it's very beautiful," Kirishima Mai observed.
"No, what I mean is, you feel like you're losing out even by buying a train ticket, so why would you buy this?" Nagasawa Miya asked.
"Liking something can't be measured in money!" Kurosawa Maki said, looking at Kitahara Hakuba. "Kitahara-sensei! Can you treat me to matcha cake?"
"Hmm? Sure. #[Bei!¤Qi?Zhong&?Wen>°?Wangt!D ,`Wutw$Nei×;{Content?|" Kitahara Hakuba laughed, "Just a little snack, it's on me."
Mimasaka Nagasawa: "So that's how you play it:"
"
After some more travel, we walked a kilometer back to the hotel.
Strangely, a number of inexplicable girls suddenly appeared in front of the hotel, scattered haphazardly throughout the hotel.
Some were looking down at their phones, some were talking to each other, and some were squatting down to draw circles with stones.
"This hotel is also a tourist attraction?" Kana Eto said incredulously.
"I'm coming!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and the faces of these girls, who had previously seemed listless, became quite interesting.
When they saw them suddenly surround them, Kuno Tachibana and the others knew why.
"Teacher Kitahara, are you in good health?"
"Mr. Kitahara, we're from Kagoshima Municipal Shoyo High School. We heard you offer evening instruction in instrumental music, so we brought everyone here to check it out."
"Teacher Kitahara, we are students from Kagoshima Takeoka Junior High School! We heard from a friend that you are giving a performance coaching session here tonight! We'd like to come and learn from your experience! We also hope to have more opportunities to exchange ideas with senior members like Shin-Asahi!"
"Looking closer, he's so handsome!"
Those who volunteered to speak up were all heads of the brass bands from nearby schools, including junior high and high school students.
The girls' unexpected enthusiasm left Kitahara Hakuba surrounded. Eto Kana and the others were at a loss. Kitahara Hakuba raised his hand, but the girls' exclamations were too loud, so he couldn't help but shout:
"Everyone, this is a hotel, and many people need to rest. Please be quiet—"
As expected of the brass band club, the girls' obedience far surpasses that of other small clubs. As soon as Kitahara Hakuba shouts, the space immediately becomes quiet.
All I could hear was something like, "She's so young!"
"He's got a great physique too. I really want to know why he chose to be a consultant in Hokkaido!"
For these girls chasing their dreams, the CD and DVD of the Shin-Asahi Brass Band's competition this year have been listened to and watched again and again. No matter which instrument's timbre was being produced, it was perfectly integrated under Kitahara-sensei's conducting, and they felt very excited every time they listened to it.
"I'm really sorry, tonight is the Shenxu Brass Band's practice time, and I don't have time to instruct everyone." Kitahara Hakuba's face showed the same gentle smile as always.
Judging by the number of students, there are already over a hundred. He's no longer some philanthropist who can perfectly take care of every girl.
Although there were a few boys scattered among them.
"No need! We just need to sit in on the proceedings!"
A long-haired girl stepped forward, her eyes overflowing with fervent anticipation like a tidal wave.
"We absolutely won't disturb Kitahara-sensei! Please let us stay!"
"So are we!"
"We will too! We'll definitely be good!"
Students from other schools echoed this sentiment, as it was a rare opportunity for them to sit in on the proceedings, one they knew they would never have another chance to do so.
Kitahara Hakuba frowned, looking troubled. He actually admired these students from other schools who had put aside their pride to audit the class, but there were simply too many of them. If something went wrong, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
"But one"
"Teacher Kitahara! Please!"
"Please, Kitahara-sensei, we came all the way from Kirishima City!"
The almost pleading voices of the girls kept filling his ears, leaving Kitahara Hakuba in a dilemma.
"Isn't this great!"
Just then, a deep male voice drifted over, and the ferry manager jogged over, smiling, and said...
"It showcases the talent of the Shin-Asahi Brass Band and Mr. Kitahara, and everyone can learn from it—it's a win-win situation!"
Kitahara Hakuba:
They seemed to know that this was Kitahara Hakuba's superior, so they clasped their hands in front of their chests, adopting a posture of girlish prayer, and said...
The ferryman put his hand on his shoulder and whispered:
"White Horse, propaganda, propaganda one!"
"If there are too many people and something goes wrong, I won't be responsible," Kitahara Hakuba muttered.
"Don't worry." The ferry director gave a thumbs up.
Kitahara Hakuba sighed, looking back at the girls' beautiful faces, and said, "Yoichi..." Before he could finish speaking, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the wildflowers. Passersby thought someone had won a big prize and subconsciously stopped to look.
"But one—!"
Kitahara Hakuba's face tightened, the cheers immediately ceased, and he raised a finger as a warning.
"I will not tolerate any student. If anyone causes trouble, makes noise, or affects normal practice, I'm sorry, I have to ask her to leave."
"Yes!"
As if it had been rehearsed in advance, the girls spoke in unison with a much stronger momentum than the Shin-Hsuan brass band.
Chapter 370, page 369: Shenxu's Performance Audition (4.6) >>
Kuno and the others who had accompanied Kitahara Hakuba back earlier were pushed aside because they lacked the guardly aura of the senior students from the third year.
"Will you allow students from other schools to audit the class?"
Kami Takahashi draped an arm over Maki Kurosawa's shoulder.
"That's a bit much."
"That's true."
Kurosawa Maki's eyebrows twitched violently as her left shoulder slumped slightly because of Takahashi Kami's arm.
Kuno Tachibana said dismissively:
"What's the big deal? You've even performed on a stage as big as the National Games, are you afraid of these students who can't even get into the National Games?"
"This is completely different."
Kurosawa Maki pouted and said,
"It's a competition, but this is just practice, and there are a bunch of people around us watching and praising us. Don't you find that strange?"
"What's strange?" Kuno Tachibana asked, tilting his head.
Kurosawa Maki rested her chin on her small hand, frowning repeatedly as she pondered, finally arriving at a conclusion:
