Chapter 53: Joining the Orange North Wind Band is a must

"So, what happened between you and classmate Jiuhua Jiuhua just now, Xinchun?"

Matsumae Shinharu briefly described the situation.

Yang Kui Chitose suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, you and Jiuhua-san are childhood sweethearts!"

"correct."

"Then because of some things that happened when we were young, we separated. Now that we meet again, Jiuhua-san doesn't know why she doesn't want to have anything to do with you."

"Yes."

"If you ask me, you should just forget about her. She doesn't want to care about you now anyway." Yang Kui Qiansui touched the other's white and slender fingers curiously. She thought that the eldest lady's hands were really smooth and tender to the touch.

Matsumae Shinchun smiled, "No."

"You two have a very good relationship?"

"Yes, we agreed to be friends for life. Yue and I got along very happily at the beginning."

"Xinchun-chan is just too sentimental! If you ask me, she's so heartless, just ignore her!"

".Maybe Yue has some difficulties."

"Why don't you tell me your reasons? Wouldn't the misunderstanding be resolved if you tell me?"

"Yue is very proud, has a clear purpose, is very proactive, and learns things very quickly. She won't complain to me. Just like a man who works away from home will never tell his family about his work troubles, people like them will choose to bear it alone."

Matsumae Shinharu spoke in a calm tone, neither hurried nor slow.

"I don't know what happened behind her back, but it's clear that she had a conflict with her uncle and aunt, otherwise she wouldn't have returned to Otaru alone. After returning to Otaru, she must have been under great psychological pressure living alone, so she must have hidden something in her heart that I don't know about yet. There are reasons for everything, and I don't blame her."

"Xinchun-chan, you are too gentle. You were so excited just now!"

"What happened just now is just a moment ago. It's over now. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who will be easily crushed by a setback."

"This Xinchun is very similar to me~"

"Thank you Chitose for being willing to accompany me like this."

"Don't say that, we are good friends!"

"Yue, she is also your friend, Chitose, right? I'm sorry, Chitose, at first I wanted to use you to get closer to Yue. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. I don't mind. Everyone makes friends for a purpose. Maybe they like the other person or they are attracted to the other person."

Matsumae Shinchun didn't expect that her hidden thoughts would be brushed aside so easily by her. She couldn't help but sigh, "Chitose is really broad-minded and extremely open-minded."

"Thank you Xinchun for the compliment! It's just that the format is a bit too old-fashioned, like an old man. Xinchun, are you really a young lady? Jiuhua Songmae, is it that Songmae?"

"Yeah." Matsumae Shinchun smiled.

"It's really that Matsumae! Xinchun, is your family rich?"

"Come to my house when you have time, Chitose. I will treat you well."

"Of course! I will definitely go. By the way, Kokoroharu-chan, who is older between you and Kuka-san? Who is the older sister?"

"Yue, I want a smaller Yue."

"Eh, that's strange, Xinchun should be the older sister!"

"This cannot be distinguished by personality, and we are childhood sweethearts and good friends, not sisters."

*
Let’s skip what happened this afternoon for now.

While Matsumae Shinharu will not give up Kyuukazuki, she is also happy to have made a friend like Haruki Chitose.

But she currently doesn't know how to get close to Jiuhuayue.

Even if they were classmates, they still needed a reason to get close to each other. After the first class in the afternoon, Matsumae Shinchun packed up her textbooks and stationery, and wanted to go to see Mr. Fujii during the break to ask questions and chat with him to further calm her anxiety.

She felt her back being gently poked twice more.

The girl turned around and saw that it was Hiiragi Rinka who was lowering her head and didn't dare to look at her at all.

Matsumae Shinchun spoke first, "Are you worried about what happened at noon?"

"Um—" Hiiragi Rinka replied with a long nasal sound, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Because I know very well that Jiuhua-san is a good friend of yours, Kokoharu." Hiiragi Rinka slumped her shoulders dejectedly, looking absent-minded.

Matsumae Shinchun didn't care. "It's okay. I'm just curious about how you two met. I remember you didn't talk to each other at first."

"Jiuhua met me when I was thinking about how to save a young cicada on a tree. When Jiuhua found out what I was thinking, she climbed the tree to help me save the cicada. Then I handed her some candy and we started talking and got to know each other."

Help climb a tree just to save a cicada?

Matsumae Shinchun was very happy, as this proved that Xiaoyue was still the same Xiaoyue.

"anything else?"

"There is also a student named Jiuhua who said she wanted to join the wind band club, but her instructor, Mr. Fujii, asked her a question that she couldn't figure out. She kept thinking about how to solve it. I asked her about the situation and helped Jiuhua solve the problem."

There are two important messages in this passage.

Jiuhua wants to join the wind band club.

Mr. Fujii is actually the instructor of the wind instrument club.

Is Mr. Fujii good at orchestral music?

Hiiragi Rinka secretly glanced at Matsumae Shinharu and asked cautiously, "Don't tell me Shinharu wants to join the wind band club?"

Matsumae Shinchun was curious, "Rinka, is there any problem with this?"

"No, no. I just feel like everyone seems to be going to the wind band club soon. It was a place no one cared about in the first half of the semester."

"Oh? Is there anyone else going to the orchestra?"

Hiiragi Rinka quickly covered her mouth.

Seeing this, Matsumae Shinchun had no intention of forcing her. Instead, she smiled and said, "I suddenly discovered that Rinka has a special attribute that no one else has."

Hiiragi Rinka couldn't help her curiosity, "..what is it?"

"Know-it-all. Does Rinka know everything about the big and small things in the class?"

Hiiragi Rinka quickly covered her mouth again and shook her head like a rattle.

Then she quickly let go: "No, I don't mean to hate Xinchun. Xinchun is my good friend. It's just that many things can't be said casually or it will affect other people. Sometimes talking too much will affect everyone's relationship, which is not good."

"I understand," Matsumae Shinchun closed her eyes and said generously, "Rinka, please rest assured that I won't force you to do anything you don't like. I don't blame you at all for what happened this morning with Kuka. I'm happy for you that you can make friends with Kuka."

"Kokoroharu--" Hiiragi Rinka subconsciously raised her head, her eyes shining.

"Isn't Kuka-san a very nice person?"

"Yeah!" Hiiragi Rinka nodded again and confirmed, "Jiuka-san is willing to help others, and she's also very handsome! In fact, Jiuka-san is not as cold as everyone says, but she...she's a bit of a maverick and doesn't like to hang out with everyone."

really
Yue is not a bad boy.

In addition, she also decided that whether for Yue or Mr. Fujii's dream, joining the Tachibana Kita Wind Orchestra Club was imperative!
