Nagase Tsukiyo rested his forehead against Eri's, gently stroking her delicate face with one hand, his tone both tender and serious.
"If Huili doesn't believe me, she can kill me."
"True?"
Eri Kanzaki's voice was gentle but lifeless, and her every word and action made her incredibly endearing.
"I'm telling the truth."
Nagase Tsukiyo's breathing was soft and gentle. Suddenly, a thought flooded her mind, bringing with it a burning heat like flames.
Her breath escaped from her lips, its scalding heat brushing against Kanzaki Eri's cheek.
The girl's face was like a cherry blossom in its first bloom.
"What about Eri? Is she hiding something from me? If so, can she tell me the truth?"
Please, this time, don't say "I don't want to talk about it anymore".
Chapter 356, 355. Best friends, two of a kind.
Kanzaki Eri's arms hung limply at her sides, held in Nagase Tsukiyo's embrace, her gaze filled with a hint of expectation.
Normally, if Yueye had said something so serious, she should have shared it with her best friend without reservation.
But "I can't say."
Eri Kanzaki shook her head, her eyebrows drooping slightly, making her pale face appear even more delicate.
"This is a secret between him and me. I don't want to share it with anyone. I don't want to tell Yueye."
In her mind, Eri and Kitahara-sensei were sometimes too similar. They both had innocent-looking faces, but sometimes the things they said were ruthless.
However, since she said that, it also indirectly told her something—"There was indeed something private that I did have with Mr. Kitahara."
Nagase Tsukiyo forced a faint smile onto her small face, shook her head, and said...
"It's alright. If Eri doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it. Has Haruno said anything else to you?"
Kanzaki Eri stared at her intently, her eyes unblinking, and said softly:
"I hope we can take the exams together and spend the winter break together."
That's it?
Nagase Tsukiyo looked confused.
In her heart, Saito Harutori told Eri these things simply so that the girls could unite and share him together in the future.
“Well, in exchange for it, she told me the secret.” Kanzaki Eri nodded obediently.
Nagase Tsukiyo's mouth moved meaninglessly, like a goldfish at a temple fair.
Is that all?
Now it was Kanzaki Eri who started to wonder. The way she tilted her head slightly made her look extremely cute.
"Want to go together on a moonlit night?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Nagase Tsukiyo nodded quickly. Rather, going to the exam together was something Kitahara-sensei had mentioned to her before, hoping that the three of them could go together so they could look after each other.
But we spent winter break together
Some time ago, I heard from my mother that Saito's father had been arrested for embezzlement. No matter what the reason, Harutori had no face to come to my house anymore.
How am I supposed to talk to the sunny bird? Maybe I should just travel abroad during winter break.
wrong
What if Kitahara-sensei also went on winter break with them?
Haruno has gone too far; she must not be allowed to do anything that would make Kitahara-sensei feel physically comfortable again.
We must stop her, we absolutely must stop her. And we must clearly explain the consequences to Yuka, so she can't make the same mistake as Haruno again.
She even used her feet to make him feel comfortable or something:
Thinking of this, Nagase Tsukiyo's face turned red again, and her small feet, encased in indoor shoes, instinctively curled up a few times.
So what exactly does it feel like?
“Well then, I’m leaving.” Kanzaki Eri suddenly said.
Nagase Tsukiyo snapped out of her daze: "Okay, then let's go to Tokyo together the day before the exam."
Eri Kanzaki nodded, turned and left the classroom.
What exactly happened between Hui Li and him?
Nagase Tsukiyo's fingers rested on the corner of the table, her eyes lowered.
She thought her relationship with Kitahara-sensei was already something to cherish, but in reality, both of her best friends had even more intimate and memorable moments.
"It's all wrong, everyone is clearly wrong." Nagase Tsukiyo murmured softly, her gaze fixed on the trumpet tube.
Its metallic surface is as if it has been plated with a layer of flowing liquid gold, radiating a warm and dazzling light.
Chapter 356, 355. Best friends, equally matched >>
But why do people choose to do the wrong thing? Even Yuuka, a well-behaved child, does.
Nagase Tsukiyo picked up her trumpet and sat back down.
Even she herself regarded those extremely abnormal things as capital that allowed her to appear incredibly confident in front of her best friend.
Nagase Tsukiyo's brows furrowed slightly, a mixture of doubt, speculation, and anticipation enveloping her like an invisible net.
In the end, she came to some realization on her own.
Perhaps people are too eager for him, so much so that even though their reason tells them that everything is wrong, their emotions cannot accept giving up this "unwillingness," like a thorn rooted in their hearts, making it impossible for them to let go. Even knowing that they will fail, they still want an explanation.
"Me too:
2
Only now did Nagase Tsukiyo realize what was happening, clutching his knee tightly with one hand.
She felt no different from Saito Haruka, except that Haruka was more proactive and obvious, while she only dared to fantasize about it alone at night.
The two of them actually had the same mindset; their goal was the same: to possess him.
"horrible
Nagase Tsukiyo pressed her legs together. She suddenly felt so bad, so evil, so hypocritical, yet just like them, she couldn't control the expansion of her inner desires.
One, two, one, two, three, four—as Kuno Tachibana lowered his baton, the first prologue melody began amidst a tranquil oboe solo.
The shimmering sound particles added a touch of unease to the seemingly perpetually peaceful daily routine.
Kirishima Mai's oboe playing was outstanding, which surprised some of the new members who were auditing the class, while the other veteran members seemed unsurprised.
Next, the clarinet and tuba are added, beginning to create the framework of the first movement.
"Stop!"
Kuno Tachibana tapped his baton on the music stand with a "thud, thud, thud," and looked at the bass section, saying...
"I don't know who played it, but the third note was a little high, and it should have a very clear sound."
Kaho Hariya, who had only practiced for less than a week, took the initiative to ask, looking quite embarrassed:
"That should be me, but even if Kuno-senpai says so, I still don't understand what 'blowing it more clearly' means."
Kuno Tachibana said expressionlessly:
"If Senior Harutani practices more, she will naturally understand."
"Hariya practices every day; she's the only new member who gets to participate in ensemble practice first," said Takahashi Kami, sitting in the second row, speaking up gently.
Kuno Tachibana curled his lip and said dismissively:
"If Kitahara-sensei were here, he would definitely not want to hear you say that, Takahashi-senpai. Any excuse is unacceptable."
Kami Takahashi frowned and muttered under her breath, "Why are you always picking fights lately?"
She was about to speak when Kana Eto, who was sitting in the first row, spoke first.
"Well, what Kuno-senpai means is that you should play it with more emotion. Okay, that's all for now."
The minister's smile was gentle, somewhat resembling that of Sakurako Maekawa. Just when everyone thought the next move was about to begin, Tachibana Kuno suddenly spoke—
"So-called emotion can be naturally expressed as long as it is in the rhythm. I have never heard of the idea that emotion can be expressed without rhythm. Either you are out of tune, or your breathing is not continuous, or you press the wrong button."
The first music classroom fell completely silent.
Rain Guardian had teased the club president before, but everyone just laughed it off as a little skit during a performance. Akamatsu Sayaka would also chime in and tease the president, which was quite amusing.
But things are different now. Kuno Tachibana is a first-year student, and although he looks small, he's incredibly precocious.
Although some second-grade girls admired her playing skills, they still felt a little uncomfortable being led by someone younger.
Nobody wanted to show it, just to maintain the departmental atmosphere.
Kana Eto just smiled awkwardly, while the other club members remained silent, seemingly wondering when Kitahara-sensei would come in.
Chapter 357, Section 356: Knowing Fully the Truth, Yet Still Acting (Part 6 Combined)
"Alright, let's move on to the next one."
Just as Kuno Tachibana was about to continue practicing, the door to the first music room opened, and Kitahara Hakuba walked in.
As soon as he entered, the other members couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, are you already practicing?" Kitahara Hakuba walked up with a smile.
"Well, I figured I couldn't wait until Kitahara-sensei came before I started practicing."
Kana Eto's gaze followed him, her face revealing a resolute expression.
She had made up her mind that, regardless of whether Kitahara-sensei was still here or not, she would take on the responsibility of the department head.
