I work as a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 60 The Forest Under the Blue Sky
"Xiaoyuan-san, Shinohara-san."

"……Yes."

In the ear, Teacher Hirakawa's voice, on the glass, the reflection turned from a side face to a front face.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

Pretending to look away from the window naturally, the hand on the edge of the window also stretched back to the ear, brushing the long hair beside the ear.

Shinohara Shiori turned her face away.

So, right in front of you, the male teacher's face, with concerned eyes in his eyes.

"..."

"What's wrong?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at Shiori Shinohara who seemed to be in a daze, "Motion sickness?"

"No."

The girl's voice was very soft, and her tone didn't seem right.

"Really not?"

"No."

"okay."

Although it doesn't look right, it may just be some girl's thoughts that are inconvenient to reveal, so don't ask too much. Thinking of this, Hirakawa Tetsufu straightened up and stood up.

"It's fine, we're here."

Then, he turned to face the other students in the compartment and reminded him.

"Everyone, we have arrived at our destination. Please take your backpacks and musical instruments and get off in an orderly manner. Don't worry."

When I regained my senses, the roar of the bus engine had dissipated in my ears, and my classmates were standing around me, my misty thoughts returned to my body, and the communication of my classmates was no longer far away, and entered my ears again.

Shiori Shinohara stood in the line, with the first May sunshine above her head. In front of the line, Teacher Hirakawa was reading out the precautions.

"Students, it is now... [-]:[-], and we will enter the hotel later. According to the serial number assigned, all students find their own rooms, put away their luggage and take a short rest."

"Gather at the entrance of the hotel at 25:[-], grab the instruments, then Mr. Xiaoli and I will lead everyone to the next concert hall and start training officially, is that okay?"

"Remember, we sleep together to better seize the time to practice, not to play, please be prepared."

"Yes." The girls quickly responded happily.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen continued.

"That's the arrangement for this morning, do you have any questions?"

"If not, let's... By the way, don't run around. Okay, let's go in."

Teacher Xiaoli then said: "Everyone, follow closely."

The team moved, a group of girls walked happily, chatting with their companions, and looking at the outer walls of the hotel and concert hall not far away.

"Senior, is this the place where we will sleep together?"

"That's right, this is the common sleeping place for our playing department. We came here last year."

"Is that so? How does senior feel?"

"It's good. And next to it—you see, that's over there, the park."

"so good."

Soon, amidst the unstoppable conversation, the performance department came to the lobby of the hotel. After disbanding, they went upstairs to find their own room.

The room of the students is four people, of course, due to the number of students, some groups of students are three people.

As for the teacher, it is a single room.

It didn't take long for Hirakawa Tetsuwen to find his room, which was next to Mr. Xiaoli in the corner of the second floor.

After putting away his luggage, he walked downstairs with Teacher Xiaoli and waited for the students to gather at the entrance of the hotel.

At 10:30, the assembly and roll call were completed, and they went to the concert hall next to the hotel.

Compared with the small concert hall without auditorium in Moriya School, the concert hall here is naturally much larger, with hundreds of auditoriums.

What's more, the Moritani Wind Music Department not only comes here for the camp, sometimes, it also comes here for free performances, which is also a place to increase playing experience.

After all, it was the school that qualified for the national competition.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was sitting under the stage, looking up, Mr. Ogasa was trying to appease the order.

"In order for everyone to enter the state as soon as possible, can we have a complete ensemble first? As for the repertoire, it is this time's theme song, Forest under the Blue Sky."

"Everyone get ready, Mochizuki-san, let's start."

It can be seen that the students who have just arrived here are still a little restless, but soon, following Teacher Xiaoli's "Let's start", in this empty concert hall, a clear and beautiful music gradually sounded, overwhelming. The whispers passed.

A girl was sitting in the first row of the concert seats, holding a black tubular instrument like a flute in her hand.

Mochizuki, the head of the band of the wind performance department, the instrument is the clarinet, and is also in charge of the pitch of the wind performance department.

As the girl blew, the other students also blew the instruments in their hands to tune them.

When the tuning was over, Teacher Xiaoli took out his baton from somewhere and stood in front of the students.

"preparation--"

The light and ethereal voice belonging to Mr. Ogasa resounded on the stage, so the flute members, no matter how leisurely and talkative they are usually, quieted down and looked at Mrs. Ogasa's hand.

The empty concert hall was silent.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Teacher Ogasa's baton was pressed down.

The deep and melodious ensemble sound came slowly to the auditorium.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi sat on the seat, listening to the music of the brass section.

On the stage, it is like a stream flowing, clear and clean, and the seedlings on the bank are nourished and start to grow, upward, upward.The buds sprouted, the branches grew, and the leaves became more and more lush.

Clear springs flow and trees grow.

Under the blue sky, tall trees appeared and merged into a forest.

The lush green forest is clean, untouched, and the sound of silence lingers.

Then, until a certain moment, amidst the sound of the wind, the sound of running water, and the sounds of nature, suddenly there was a bird's cry.

The first is a little bit, faintly, ethereal and untraceable, coming from a distant place.

Then, getting closer and closer, it flew to the forest and landed on the very center of the forest, the branch of the tree.

So, all the sounds in the ears disappeared, under the whole sky, in the whole forest, the sounds disappeared.

Only the chirping of birds remained.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the stage, all the members stopped making a sound, and they were at the very center.The girl took the trumpet and played it to her heart's content.

The lark appeared.

The crisp and high-pitched chirping sound resounded freely and freely, echoing in the forest over and over again.

Repeatedly.

At an unknown time, the sounds of nature sounded again, the sound of wind, running water, and the sound of trees growing, combined with the weakening of birdsong.

Under the blue sky, the forest ensemble played, and the sound blew along the wind, until it reached a distant place, and then faintly dissipated.

The lark flew away, and the forest was silent again.

The pure water flows through the roots of the forest, the leaves grow more lush, and the branches grow thicker, waiting for the arrival of a bird from the sky at an unknown time.

Completion.
