”Opportunities ement of the valuables and machinery”
This ti fro system after trouble happens or if it's too late As executive coive a notification of this to each club just to be sure?”
I ht by the Biology Club member who stood next to Kusakabe-sensei I wonder if she was relying on Kusakabe-sensei due to the damselfish theft uproar If that's the case, then I understand her feelings very well Although Kusakabe-sensei is a rookie teacher in his first year, he receives immense support from some students, which includes us members of the Wind Ensemble Club
I understand as someone who has watched beside Kusakabe-sensei the whole ti, he is sent around to do various chores related to school events, but even though he handles those easily, he plainly states his opinions to the principal and vice-principal Fro the second prize in the conductor division of the Tokyo International Music Co his student days and it seemed like he was expected to have a future as an international conductor The reason why he came to work at this school is surrounded by s like h Kusakabe-sensei has such an aance or haughtiness Siazes, he speaks ords that are easy to understand Perhaps I think he was also very popular with the orchestrato be a conductor
”At any rate, I'lad that Kamijou-kun came to school,” Kusakabe-sensei said and I was taken back to the reality Kamijou is Haruta's family name
”Where is Haruta?”
”I justI suppose he is practicing the stomp that will be presented at the cultural festival with everyone in the ood if you showed up as well later on”
”I will”
Kusakabe-sensei had turned on his heel, but he looked back for a
”Are you perhaps having any problems?”
”Uh”
”No Since yesterday the executive co Hos”
Slowly but steadily tears were about to fall out Aah I'm so hopeless as expected
”Uh, well Actually”
Nozoether we ht Kusakabe-sensei let out a chuckle, saying, ”You two get along well, huh” and left to go towards the staff rooy Club
I stared at Kusakabe-sensei's back in a daze We were ten years apart
” If you like hi to him?”
I heard Nozomi's voice behind my back and turned around in a fluster
”I'll cheer for you, Chika Even shoujosteady, and these days it's alright even if it's unusual”
”But,” My voice was about to quaver and it actually did ”I have a rival”
”Rival?” Nozomi made a curious expression ”Well If it's around Kusakabe-sensei's level there would be no lack of rivals, but perhaps if it's Chika then it would be an easy victory You're cute and even your figure is good”
”No good That's absolutely no good It's because I'm bound to a pact”
”A pact?”
”So that one of us doesn't steal a ave a dispirited reply, see like she understood or didn't understand ”So weird”
Iinto this topic with Nozo that couldn't be helped I parted ith Nozomi at the entrance and headed to the music roo absence, but everyone in class had accepted his have borne its fruit
TheWhen I went up the stairway and neared the entrance, I was able to hear the sounds of a broo of buckets and plastic bottlesA Everyone was even hed indecently
When I looked froht Wind Enseathered there A stos like desks, broo the keyboard accordion do the main melody, allwith the dru to I listened attentively to them I realized I had picked up on the rhyth it Eventually the musical performance ended and theout breaths
”Chika-chan”
In their midst, Haruta showed his white teeth
”I'm sorry to say, but there's no place for you here”
I dragged Haruta out of the music room to the point that his ear would tear off
