"Time to turn off the lights and go to sleep." Shinomiya Haruka shrunk wearily into the blankets.
"Goodnight." Kitahara Hakuba kissed her forehead.
After each time they finished, they would hug each other for a while, but as time went on, they would get sweaty from hugging and eventually separate.
"Strange, I have trouble sleeping." Shinomiya Haruka's hand slid across his lower abdomen and she hugged him as she spoke.
Kitahara Hakuba jokingly asked, "Not satisfied?"
“I’ve thought about it for a long time. Why don’t you come back to Tokyo with me? My family’s music store in Tokyo is opening next year.”
Shinomiya Haruka pressed her face against his chest and suddenly said something extremely real.
"Regardless of whether you win gold at this national tournament, you'll definitely be in high demand in Tokyo, and your salary will certainly be higher than it was at Shin-Asahi High School."
Suddenly hearing her say that again, Kitahara Hakuba didn't say a word. He could feel his heart under his chest bearing the pressure of Shinomiya Haruka.
Haruka Shinomiya is right. Regardless of the reason, returning to Tokyo to coach is his best choice.
Those advisors who can get into the national conference are undoubtedly sought-after by private schools.
But Shenxu was the first school he taught at, so it's impossible to say there was no affection involved.
Especially the girls in the brass band, although they all gave him more or less a headache, they were actually not bad people at heart.
Thinking about the beautiful girls in the brass band at this time is simply courting death. No, no, Kitahara Hakuba took a deep breath, trying to banish them from his mind.
Close your eyes, and the particles of night float beneath your thin eyelids.
"What about the music store in Hakodate? What should we do then?" he asked.
"We have no choice but to close down, since the profits here are really low."
Shinomiya Haruka hugged him tightly while complaining.
"If I want to take good care of you, I'll definitely have to look towards making big money."
Where in Tokyo is the music store located?
"Nakameguro".
"Oh, that's good." Kitahara Hakuba replied in a tone that was out of tune.
Seeing that he didn't give a clear answer, Shinomiya Haruka didn't press him. She lifted her leg from under the covers and pressed it onto his legs, as if this position would be more comfortable.
"Are you reluctant to leave your students, or reluctant to leave Hokkaido?"
Kitahara Hakuba glanced at her, as if to divert her attention, and reached out to knead her full breasts, the fluid overflowing from between his fingers:
"If I say I can't bear to part with any of them, will you be angry?"
Shinomiya Haruka comfortably tilted her head back, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and said in a charming voice:
"No, if you say you're willing to give it up, I'll feel like you're a stranger. But there's no rush, you can think about it some more." (First published on Xianyu Reading Blog)
Her hand reached down, her smooth, beautiful legs first spreading open, then she guided them with her hand before clamping them tightly together.
"continue?"
Just then, the meowing of cats came from outside the house again, but this time it was more intense, sounding like a fight.
Kitahara Hakuba reluctantly withdrew his hand from her body:
"No, let's rest."
At the same time, Shinomiya Haruka stopped teasing her beautiful legs and, lying on her side, said:
"A lot of the girls in the brass band like you, right?"
“That sounds terrifying,” Kitahara Hakuba said with a closed eye and a smile, his tone seemingly unconcerned.
"I'm an adult too, I can tell those kids just by looking at them."
"Is that how it is compared to your older sister?"
"Of course it is."
"For example, who?"
"The orchestra's principal, the girl who came here to eat lobster last time, and the girl whose breasts are about the same size as mine."
She was referring to Amemori, Isomoto Yuka, and Saito Haruka.
Kitahara Hakuba yawned, speaking in a drowsy voice as if he might fall asleep at any moment:
"They're all good kids."
?
"This morning, the brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments practiced separately, and then played together in the afternoon. Don't think that you're already playing very well. In my eyes, everyone's technique still has room for improvement. If you want to win gold, you must handle every note carefully."
"Yes!"
Inside the first music classroom, the club members, following Kitahara Hakuba's instructions, began practicing their instruments in groups.
The percussion instruments were left in the first music room because it was troublesome to move them, the woodwind instruments were in the clarinet practice room, and the brass instruments were in the bass practice room.
“Teacher Kitahara, the brass band has a total of ninety-six members, and eight of them are unable to go to Utsunomiya due to personal reasons,” Sakurako Yukawa reported as she stepped forward.
Kitahara Hakuba initially didn't want to ask, but after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice:
"Which eight people are they?"
Sakurako Yukawa took out her phone and handed it out: "This."
Kitahara Hakuba took the documents and discovered that these eight people were new members added during the All-Dojo Tournament.
Although they were all in B grade, they had very little knowledge of music theory, and some of them couldn't even understand how to play an instrument.
He just wanted to see if Kirishima Mai's name was there, and thankfully she went to Utsunomiya.
With a piece of natural jade right in front of him, it's impossible for him not to have the urge to carve it.
Kitahara Hakuba still hoped that Kirishima Mai could rekindle her interest in playing the wind, and that the atmosphere of the national tournament would ignite the passion within her.
Even if he's gone in the future, and while I can't guarantee a spot in the national tournament, Shen Xu can at least rely on her and Kuno Tachibana to win the gold medal in the national tournament for two consecutive years. (The last line appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)
"The pressure on soloists must be immense."
"I think the pressure is immense whenever you go to the national competition, regardless of whether it's a solo performance or not."
"Ugh, I'm so tired. I really hope the national conference is the day after tomorrow."
During the time it took to sit down and prepare, the members of the wind band began to whisper among themselves. As the national competition drew closer, their rest time became increasingly scarce.
Especially Mr. Kitahara, he's been scolding people more and more lately.
"Don't talk! Be quiet!" Yu Shou stood up and shouted, and in an instant, the bass practice room fell silent.
Almost at the same time, Kitahara Hakuba stepped into the practice room, and the other members were amazed by the chief of the Rain Guardians' perception abilities.
"Let's start with a brass ensemble performance."
Without exchanging pleasantries, Kitahara Hakuba placed the metronome on the table and began to draw a slow, rhythmic beat.
At his command, the brass section members dared not slack off in the slightest, and each raised their instrument and spat.
The girls he often whipped knew that he liked to make the notes stretch out in slow motion, because the longer they were stretched out, the more likely he was to find out those who tried to get away with it by relying on their momentum in the score.
"Saito and Iso Gen, speak louder. If possible, I hope you can generate the power of four people."

"Yu Shou, you're off-key. Chief, please don't let this happen."
"Oh dear, Senior Rain Guardian, the Chief can't afford to make such a mistake."
Kuno Tachibana had intended to jokingly shift her position, but Kitahara Hakuma immediately glared at her with displeasure, crossed his arms tightly over his chest, and said in a serious tone:
"Kuno-kun, from now on, don't speak when I point out your shortcomings. If you want to speak, raise your hand first."
"Hmm, Tachibana Kuno hesitated. She had never been spoken to like that by Kitahara-sensei before. Usually, he would just smile and tell her not to talk."
At that moment, all they could do was lower their heads and remain silent.
Many people could sense that Kitahara-sensei's guidance was more stringent than before, but no one thought much of it, simply assuming that Kitahara-sensei had become nervous as the national tournament approached.
Everyone cooperated with Kitahara Hakuba as much as possible, constantly processing his instructions that were practically slapped in their faces.
Some members were so tired that their fingers could keep up with the rhythm, but their mouths couldn't keep up. But Mr. Kitahara didn't let them rest. He kept practicing, he just wanted them to keep practicing.
After the brass section practice ended, everyone looked exhausted.
They didn't dare to speak until Kitahara Hakuba left the bass practice section and went to the clarinet section.
Some girls hurriedly put their instruments on chairs and ran to the bathroom.
"Ah, my mouth seems to have lost its feeling, and my fingers feel strange too."
Why does Kitahara-sensei seem so strict today?
?
"Yes, we usually take a ten-minute break every hour, but it's been almost an hour and a half now!"
Even if they urgently need to urinate, they dare not say so; they can only harbor resentment.
"Lihua was scolded."
Kuno Tachibana, with his keen hearing, turned his head somewhat defiantly and said stubbornly:
"I wasn't scolded by Kitahara-sensei."
They just smiled and didn't say anything.
But everyone knows that Kitahara-sensei really did choke her during practice, which is quite rare.
Yuka Isomoto blinked, her expression complicated as she looked at the classroom door where Hakuba Kitahara had left.
"It seems that Mr. Kitahara really wants to win the gold medal."
Saito Harutori, standing to the side, looked at the sheet music on her music stand, and uttered words accompanied by a flushed, moist tone from her cherry-red lips.
"Suddenly, I don't feel as happy playing the tutti as I used to."
Yuka Isomoto suddenly felt as if an invisible hand had gripped her heart, and she was enveloped by a strange sense of sorrow.
Is what Haruno said true? Does Teacher Kitahara really want Shenxu to win the gold medal at this tournament so he can leave in peace? That's why he's training so hard now.
