The ferry manager clearly harbored resentment, but it wasn't directed at Kitahara Hakuba.
"This woman always thinks I'm doing it on purpose, hiding everything from me. I'm also a shareholder of the school, so why is she so arrogant? If I were twenty years younger, she would only deserve to 'whoosh' under me."
“Hehehe”
Kitahara Hakuba noticed that the ferryman was becoming increasingly unrestrained in his presence.
"In any case, you'd better get in touch with them." The ferry director patted him on the shoulder and said, "If that doesn't work, at least explain why. Whether you go or not is up to you."
"it is good."
Kitahara Hakuba nodded. He wished Nagase's mother were as polite as Nagase Tsukiyo, instead of wasting her points on physical enhancements.
During lunch break, members of the wind band were busy running around, looking for their ensemble partners.
Kitahara Hakuba arrived at the club building and saw the third-year students he hadn't seen in a long time gathered in the corridor, each holding their own musical instruments. It gave him a feeling of returning to spring.
"Teacher Kitahara."
"Teacher Kitahara - 11"
With a series of greetings and nods, Kitahara Hakuba headed to the first music classroom.
Just like in the summer, several pairs of white lunchboxes ranging from size 36 to 38 were placed at the entrance.
What might be less is the strong smell that was originally inside the shoes.
"But this is too much. Third-year students are all clustered together, and we also want to brag with the upperclassmen."
"Junior Eto is really bold, daring to say such things. Well, I like your change though~"
“I’m telling the truth, okay? Look at this woodwind quintet, they’re all third-year students! There’s not a single second-year student or a first-year student! Mr. Kitahara’s intention was for everyone to practice, not to form cliques.”
Well.
Chapter 391, Question 390: Why do you always chat in private? (6-in-1) >>
"I understand. What Kitahara-sensei wants is pretty much that feeling of being 'mentored and guided' by someone, right?"
"What does 'Qu Lou's mentorship, Kana, what does Senior Akamatsu mean by that?"
"Jia Mei, study hard! It's about a scene where the elderly and children are together, which shows great love within the family and society. It's very positive and uplifting!"
"The problem is, if all the third-year students are clustered together, then this kind of great love won't be apparent."
As soon as Kitahara Hakuba entered, he saw six girls sitting together chatting.
The previous minister, deputy minister, orchestra principal, and the two ministers and orchestra principal of this term.
The sight of six pairs of youthful legs wearing different styles of socks instantly lifted his spirits, making the air seem fragrant.
When Yu Shouyi saw him enter, he stood up first, bowed, and greeted him, saying:
"Teacher Kitahara."
The other girls seemed much more relaxed; Sayaka Akamatsu, Kami Takahashi, and Tachibana Kuno didn't get up.
"What are they discussing? We can hear them from outside."
"It's all Sayaka's fault for being so loud," Sakurako Yukawa complained, pouting slightly.
Akamatsu Sayaka suddenly stood up, slammed her hand on the table, and said:
"The point of a debate is to show your strength and determination!"
"Huh!" Kana Eto was startled.
"Akamatsu-senpai, if you keep talking like that, my eardrums are going to burst!" Kuno Tachika deliberately squinted her eyes.
Sayaka Akamatsu walked to her side, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and saying:
She gently blew a breath into Kuno Tachibana's ear, and Kuno Tachibana almost instinctively straightened her back, raised her hand to cover her right ear, and said with a flushed face:
"What are you doing!"
"Why is your face red? Sigh, Kuno-senpai is still just a kid, how boring." Akamatsu Sayaka sighed dramatically.
"Ugh!"
Kuno Tachibana raised an eyebrow. In the entire brass band, the most difficult person for her to deal with was this senior.
Kitahara Hakuba ignored the two men, picked up the team list on the table, quickly scanned it, and said:
"Are many third-year students sticking together?"
Sakurako Yukawa spoke first, almost instinctively:
"Because it's probably everyone's last year, we thought it would be better to brag with good friends."
"But I personally believe that the younger members of the brass band should learn from their seniors in this way!"
Kana Eto clenched her hands, slightly raised her chin, and said, "Teacher Kitahara will be leaving next year, and everyone's learning opportunities will become fewer and fewer. What does Senior Amemori think?"
She quickly looked at the girl with the single ponytail.
“I’ll listen to whatever you say if you’re here, Kitahara-sensei,” Amami said.
Sayaka Akamatsu waved her hand and said:
"Are you suggesting we break up these already formed teams again? That's completely impractical. Is there any point in continuing the autonomous selection process you previously agreed upon?"
"Yes, Akamatsu is right."
After Kitahara Hakuba finished speaking, his gaze fell on Takahashi Kami again.
"Is the entire team for Sachs assembled yet?"
Seeing that he suddenly changed the subject, Takahashi Kami quickly said, "Yes, we finished all the group work this morning."
"So fast?" Kitahara Hakuba said in surprise.
"Well, when it comes to performances, the saxophone is better at creating atmosphere! That's why we're just as sought after as the bass section!" Takahashi Kami said with a smile.
Kitahara Hakuba turned the page: "You and Eto aren't together?"
Kami Takahashi shrugged and said:
"Eto prefers to play lyrical woodwind quintets, while I like jazz. It's all Kana's fault that we can't form a duo."
"Why blame it all on me?" Kana Eto sniffed.
Kitahara Hakuba looked at the list of players who hadn't yet formed teams. In his mind, he wanted an alto saxophone player to pair with Nagase Tsukiyo, and Shinomiya Haruka to play the piano for harmony and rhythm.
As the engine, the bass also needs a large or bass horn.
As for the oboe, there was actually no need to add it, but since that person was Eri Kanzaki, it was necessary for Hakuba Kitahara to add it.
Therefore, this group needs at least five people.
"Where's Yuxiang? I don't think I've seen her?"
When Kitahara Hakuba saw that Isomoto Yuka's name wasn't on the list, the image of the girl in the white skirt who came to his door at night to deliver Aomori specialties came to his mind again.
The inside is the same color as the skirt.
“It seems like Isogen-kun isn’t planning to participate,” Sakurako Yukawa said.
"Didn't participate?"
Kitahara Hakuba never expected this result, because in his eyes, Yuka was a hardworking and ambitious child, and he would seize any opportunity, no matter how slim, as long as she could grow.
“Yes, she said she wants to focus on her final exams,” Yukawa Sakurako added.
Kitahara Hyakuma raised an eyebrow.
Well, the Aomori girl is indeed seizing the opportunity to improve herself.
Kuno Tachibana's cherry-blossom lips curled into a smile as she said mercilessly:
"Hmph, that's true, Isogen-senpai is a terrible student."
Kitahara Hakuba gave her a wary look, while Kuno Tachika pursed her lower lip and looked away warily.
He felt it was a real shame that Yu Xiang wasn't participating, and he needed to go over and smooth things over; he also needed to help with her studies.
Let's tentatively stick with Aomori Girls, but the saxophone...
Kitahara Hakuba frowned.
Could it be that he'll do it himself?
It seems like a good idea; the combination becomes clear immediately.
“Kitahara-sensei,” Sakurako Yukawa suddenly spoke up, “how much longer can you stay here?”
"Hmm? We should just have a lunch break," Kitahara Hakuba said dismissively, glancing at the team list.
Why is there a clarinet sextet here? What a waste!
"Sakurako means, Kitahara-sensei, when are you sure you want to leave?" Akamatsu Sayaka crossed her legs, her black calf socks looking like they were designed to be dirt-resistant.
“I’m not sure either, let’s find the person first,” Kitahara Hakuba said.
"I hope we can leave after we graduate, so that everyone won't feel so bad," Yukawa Sakurako said with a wry smile.
Sayaka Akamatsu shrugged and said:
"What's the panic? Didn't Kitahara-sensei promise us we'd go on a graduation trip together? We still have some time to relax!"
Kuno Tachibana's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, but the most extreme person was not her, but Amane, who had been standing there ever since Kitahara Hakuba entered.
"When did this happen?!"
“Huh? Hmm,” Akamatsu Sayaka pretended to think, “A long time ago, before their school trip.”
"Teacher Kitahara!" Amemori exclaimed excitedly, looking at him. "Is this for real?!"
The girl with the single ponytail suddenly came close to his face, and her eyelashes looked quite pretty up close.
Yes, that's true.
“Amemori-kun, Kitahara-sensei should have resigned by then, right?” Akamatsu Sayaka said with a meaningful smile in front of Kitahara Hakuba.
Kuno Tachibana glanced sideways and said in a steady voice:
"Senior Akamatsu, we're all students, so it's best not to have those strange thoughts about teachers."
"Oh my, Kuno-senpai really values the teacher-student relationship," Akamatsu Sayaka said, covering her mouth. "So touching!"
