Chapter 113: Strategies for Mr. Fujii's Tactical Team
Everything changed after Mr. Fujii joined the wind band club.

Although Rinka Hiiragi joined the wind orchestra club in her second year, she had heard many of her seniors talk about the past.

The previous wind band was inconsistent, and some students were so lazy that they drove away the previous advisor.

Now when people talk about the most important person in the wind orchestra, there is no doubt that they will all say it is Mr. Fujii.

It seems that when the wind band club was just rebuilt, the methods adopted by Mr. Fujii were not gentle, which caused many complaints from students.

It also led to some bad rumors about Mr. Fujii.

Xiaoyue even fought with a senior student for Teacher Fujii.
But as time went on, everything got better.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Everyone can feel their own progress.

I, who usually couldn't even finish playing half a piece of music, became proficient. I could understand how to play the music after just one look, which I had to read word by word. The scattered and unorganized ensemble became neat and orderly, forming a real piece of music.

If playing is just a hobby and for your own pleasure, it is indeed a very good choice. However, the progress and happiness gained from continuous efforts and progress, under the pressure of teachers and classmates, are completely different.

This is probably the reason why everyone is still so enthusiastic in the days leading up to the Nakajima Festival, even though there is very high-pressure training.

Now everyone is confident that they can perform well at this Nakajima Festival.

If the girls in the wind orchestra heard anyone disparaging Teacher Fujii outside, they would not be able to help but refute the other person.

Perhaps entering the national competition is not an unattainable goal.

Everyone fantasizes like this.

Me too
Rinka Hiiragi lowered her head and walked up the stairs, thinking all this, and walked around the corner leading to the music classroom.

It was only seven in the morning, but she could already hear the brass section practicing.

Is everyone here so early?

Rinka Hiiragi couldn't help but look up and forward, and she suddenly saw Jiuhuayue.

Jiuhuayue was standing outside the window of the music classroom at this time.

She held a broom in her hand, and on the ground was the dust she had just gathered in the corridor. Her eyes, shining like purple gems, were peering into the classroom.

What came from the classroom was the music of Charles Timberlake's "Cold Wave".

Because the trumpet melody that was unique to winter was so obvious, Hiiragi Rinka recognized it was Chitose's solo almost instantly. As the solo ended, Fujii teacher gave her individual guidance in a gentle voice.
Rinka Hiiragi couldn't help but stay where she was and look at Jiuhuayue in front of her for a while.

Xiaoyue stared inside intently.

Hiiragi Rinka only saw the color called "envy" in her eyes.

".Xiao-Xiao Yue, good morning."

"Rinhua?" Jiuhuayue retracted her gaze, smiled, and continued sweeping the floor, "Good morning."

"Um"

"Tomorrow is the Nakajima Festival. Congratulations in advance on your successful performance."

"Xiaoyue is going tomorrow too!"

"It's different. We are just the guard of honor and we are not responsible for the performance."

"."

Hiiragi Rinka wanted to respond, but for a moment she didn't know what sound she should make to answer her.

Although I am very happy that everyone on the bench can play together.

But playing is not playing after all.

Xiaoyue could only peek at Mr. Fujii's individual instruction to Chitose from the corner.
It's so sad.
Xiaoyue worked so hard for Teacher Fujii, but she couldn't get what she wanted.

Seeing Momoko Satsuki sweeping the floor, Hiiragi Rinka couldn't help but say:
"I, I want to talk to Mr. Fujii for you, Xiaoyue!"

"Tell me, what did you say?" Jiu Huayue didn't look up.

"Let's talk about asking Xiaoyue to join the wind band again."

"It's all decided."

"But."

"Okay, Rinka, things have come to this, I accept the loss."

Hiiragi Rinka wanted to speak, but the dry air seemed to be stuck in her throat for a long time, causing her throat to ache. She opened her mouth for a long time, but in the end she could only say one sentence:
"No one in the club knows about you, Xiaoyue."

Rinka Hiiragi was heartbroken about what happened to her good friend.

What’s even more heartbreaking is that there is absolutely no one supporting Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue has an average relationship with everyone in the club.

No one cared whether Xiaoyue lost the election.

Xiaoyue seemed to be left alone in a corner by everyone.

"Don't worry about me."

Seeing her good friend's expression, Jiu Huayue sighed first, then took the broom, closed her eyes, and said in a serious voice:

"It's not like I don't have a goal to achieve. In other words, instead of feeling lost here, I should think about how to do what I should do now, and then try my best to see if I can get back to the position of the wind orchestra."

"Um"

When Rinka Hiiragi heard Jiuhuayue's answer, she felt much relieved.

The only consolation is that Xiaoyue’s talent is really very good.

It's not that there is no hope.
"Is Xiaoyue still practicing?"

"Of course, I said I didn't give up."

Is there anything I can do to help Xiaoyue?

Hiiragi Rinka thought seriously, and her eyes brightened as if she had thought of something:

".Xiaoyue, are you still asking Mr. Fujii for advice in private?"

"Well, I'll ask you sometimes, but I won't ask you too much. Rinka, you know how much work Mr. Fujii has to do. He's our homeroom teacher, and he has to take care of the class as well as the wind band. It would be hard for him to bear the burden of my training during his break."

Hiiragi Rinka was very excited, "Well! If Satsuki is lacking practice, I know someone who can help her!"

"Who?"

"It's in our club! Yuzuki! You know it, Xiaoyue!"

"Yuzu? Jushizawa-san?" The image of a wooden man emerged in Hiiragi Rinka's mind.

This classmate named You always seems to have a blank expression on his face.

"Yes!"

"Isn't she in charge of the oboe?"

"But her sister is a trumpet player! She's a great one! She's the leader of the brass section in Saint's!"

"."

Jiuhuayue fell into deep thought.

She was wondering whether she should agree to Rinka.

She is indeed lacking in key training now, and she can indeed receive some guidance from the uncle, but he is not a trumpet player after all, so even if he can provide guidance, it will be limited.

Hiiragi Rinka suddenly took Jiuhuayue's hand and said to her with hope:

"Go! Xiaoyue!"

".But I have almost no time from Monday to Friday."

"It's okay! I'll just have some time on the weekend! I know Yuzu's sister, and we were in the same club in the past. I can ask Yuzu to help Xiaoyue!"

Jiuhuayue hesitated.

"Xiaoyue!" Rinka Hiiragi shouted excitedly.

"."

"Satsuki, don't you want to play beside Mr. Fujii? Don't you want to play under the direction of Mr. Fujii?"

Jiuhua Yue was stunned and imagined the scene described by Linhua.

"That's fine."

"Great!" Hiiragi Rinka smiled happily, "Okay then, I'll talk to Yuzu first! Let's make an appointment when we have the chance!"

Jiuhuayue had never expected that Hiiragi Rinka cared so much about her, and her voice became much softer, "Thank you in advance, Rinka."

"It's okay! As long as I can help Xiaoyue!" Hiiragi Rinka held Jiuhuayue's hand, "Everyone is a good friend!"

good friend.?

When Jiuhuayue heard this word, she couldn't help but repeat it in her heart.

She inexplicably thought of the past. Matsumae Shinchun, who always told her "We were good friends".

Rinka Hiiragi is very fast.

At lunch time after the morning training, I found Shishizawa Yuzu eating alone in the cafeteria.

She ate quietly, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Rinka Hiiragi came and sat down opposite Jujube Shirozawa and told her about this.

"I reject."

The answer was very clear and concise.

"pomelo"

"You know the relationship between my sister and I. Why do you think I chose to go to Jubei instead of Saint? Jubei's brass band has received bad reviews in recent years, but I just want to come here to fight that guy."

"Yuzu" Hiiragi Rinka's voice became much softer.

"Rin Hua Ni is now full of the scent of Jiu Hua Yue. It's too strong and pungent."

".I just want to help Xiaoyue now." Hiiragi Rinka lowered her eyes.

"Why should we help her? Her lack of strength is her own problem."

"But Xiaoyue has only been learning the trumpet for less than six months."

“Opportunity is also a part of success. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are lucky and prepared.”

"Can--"

Jushizawa Yuzu put the broccoli between her lips and glanced slightly to Rinka Hiiragi who was lowering her head opposite her.

"Why does Rinka want to help Jiuhuayue? Who is she to you?"

".Good friends are more than that."

Shiliuzawa Yuzu retracted her gaze and said, "Okay."

"Yuzu——!" Hiiragi Rinka looked up with gratitude.

"But there must be a condition for me to agree."

“What conditions?”

"It's okay for you to help me, but I'm only interested in one thing. Rinka, you know what it is."

"Interesting?" Hiiragi Rinka hesitated for a second.

"It's just interesting," Shiliuzawayou ate another piece of broccoli calmly, "Give me a reason that makes me feel I need to help Jiuhuayue."

Things that interest you
It must be something very exciting, right?
Is there anything exciting happening right now that makes You feel interesting?

Rinka Hiiragi could only think of one thing, which was that Satsuki liked Teacher Fujii.

But she couldn't talk nonsense about this matter.

"You, are you free this afternoon? Or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"It's all right."

"That's great. I, I want to invite You and Xiaoyue to have dinner together at LeTAO!"

"That famous dessert shop?"

"Ok!"

"can."

Hiiragi Rinka was happy, "That's it! I still need to discuss the specific time with Xiaoyue, and I will tell you directly on Line at that time."

"Whatever you want." Shiliuzawayou took another bite of broccoli.

After lunch, Rinka Hiiragi quickly found Jiuhuayue and told her about this.

"Dinner party? At LeTAO?"

"Right! Mainly to discuss with You what I brought up this morning."

".I don't have much time to go in the afternoon."

"Xiaoyue, are you busy with something?"

"work to earn a living."

".Xiaoyue, why are you still working?"

"We're short of money. Okay, let's not talk about that. I have no problem taking a day off temporarily. Tomorrow is the Nakajima Festival competition. I probably can't do it tomorrow, so let's do it the day after tomorrow."

"Then the day after tomorrow afternoon?"

"Yes, it's the weekend."

"Well, I'll talk to You. I'll create a group where everyone can talk about anything."

"can."

"By the way, we don't have any friends yet. Yue, Yue-chan, do you want to add me as a friend?" Hiiragi Rinka held the phone carefully.

"Friends?"

“It’s Line”

"Oh, so that's it, sure." Jiu Huayue took out her phone and fiddled with it for a long time, "How do I add a friend?"

Hiiragi Rinka took a small step towards Jiuhua Yue and held out her hand, "Click this, Yue-chan, just use this to scan me."

"I see."

"Don't you know, Xiaoyue?"

"How do you know?"

"."

Hiiragi Rinka was surprised that there were high school girls who didn't know how to add Line friends, a chat tool that everyone needs.

“But a cell phone is a must, right?”

Jiuhuayue explained: "I am not used to using smartphones, I use computers more. I learned how to use mobile phones and computers by myself when I first came to Otaru last year. If it weren't for Mr. Dai Fujii asking us to form a class group, I wouldn't use Line."

".Yue-chan, is she a girl who lived in the last century?"

"Maybe, but I didn't need these things before. As my mother said, these are external things that affect you. The only mobile phones I used in the past were very old models, which only had basic calling and texting functions."

".How does Yue-chan usually type when chatting?" Hiiragi Rinka covered her mouth with both hands.

"Handwritten. Sometimes I can write three words in a row. Very quickly."

".Do you usually use the computer?"

"Computers are much more troublesome. You have to search and type word by word. But it's very interesting. When I first learned the search function, I searched for a lot of things and learned about YouTube. I basically listen to music on it."

The more Hiiragi Rinka listened, the more shocked she became.

It turns out Xiaoyue is the “smart device idiot” that everyone often discusses on the Internet!
There are a lot of people like this now.

I have to tell him that double-clicking the left button is to confirm, single-clicking the right button is a menu, the blue W can write a file, and the green X can make a table. They don't know what the file name suffix means, and they don't know how to open a compressed file.
However, many of these people are university graduates who want to work in the IT industry.

"I'm not very good with smartphones. Is that surprising?"

"Well, it's very strange. Very strange." Hiiragi Rinka nodded.

"." Jiuhuayue seemed to be thinking about something, "It's okay, I learn very quickly."

The dinner party was thus decided.

Rinka Hiiragi created a group for the three of them.

She even had an inexplicable longing for this group.

If the talks go well the day after tomorrow, You will most likely know about Xiaoyue's situation. Given You's personality, you will most likely help Xiaoyue.

Rinka Hiiragi has already thought of the future name of this group.

It's called——[Xiaoyue's Tactical Team to Attack Teacher Fujii]
Hehe
It seems quite interesting.

"Rinka, why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"Ah, is there?" Hiiragi Rinka's face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's quite cute." Jiuhuayue chuckled.

Being praised as cute by a handsome girl like Jiuhuayue.
Hiiragi Rinka became even more shy.

"No, no."
