Chapter 1031 Busy Days

 For Duanmu Huai, now he no longer has time to fish, and he has gradually become busy.

 The first is the wind band club. They were selected as Kansai representatives. After entering the national competition, their training intensity increased again, and Duanmuhuai could only accompany them to the end. Although he felt that the wind band club was almost used to his existence, so his presence or absence would not mean much, but Taki didn't think so.

“Although I can give them guidance on performance, if I want to maintain a good atmosphere in the entire club, I have to rely on you, Teacher Duanmu.”

　　　…………”

How should I put it? After all, it’s all about this, so Duanmu Huai can only bite the bullet and continue with it, right?

 After all, this is also related to your own unlock list.

 Then came Rias's ranking match. Duanmuhuai took the time to ask Rias and found that her ranking match would not officially start until the second half of the year. By the way, Rias also asked Duanmuhuai if Fulilian could join them and become a "contracted soldier". Duanmuhuai didn't care about this and said that Rias could talk to Fulilian herself. .

 Just to be on the safe side, he must first make it clear to Rias that this is a member of the brave team who once killed the demon king in her world. Don't accidentally get on her blacklist.

As for Naruse Mio... Maria said, "To understand the character's spirit, you must start by imitating the character's appearance." Then he brought Naruse Mio a set of "Magical Girl Kaitou Meowpas" COSPLAY costume!

Well, just like most magical girl settings, Magical Girl Kaitou Meowpas tells the story of a primary school student who encounters a magical creature, then makes a contract with it, becomes a magical girl, and fights evil. Of course, the story itself is no different from most magical girl series. The girl who is the protagonist transforms into a masked girl, wearing a tights like a one-piece swimsuit, a cloak, boots, and a miniskirt. and knee-high socks.

Of course, there seems to be no problem for children wearing this, but the problem is that Naruse Mio’s figure is too foul. Wearing this is like a walking Sesel billboard!

Naturally, Naruse Mio refused to comply with this, but unfortunately no one helped her, not even Fulilian, so Naruse Mio could only accept her fate and wear this outfit to COS Magical Girl Kaitou Meow Paz... …

 What else can we do?

Duanmuhuai deeply sympathized with Naruse Mio's experience, but unfortunately he couldn't help.

 After all, he himself is in trouble now.

"How is this going!"

　　The deafening roar echoed in the staff room. Duanmu Huai stood helplessly by the wall, holding his arms in his arms. Looking at the dean and Taki not far away, opposite them was a hysterical woman with disheveled hair. Standing next to her was a student—Duanmu Huai actually knew that student. She was Asuka Tanaka from the euphonium section of the wind band club.

 The crazy woman is her mother.

This time the two came to the staff room for a very valid reason - Asuka Tanaka's mother believed that now is the most important time in her senior year of high school, and she did not want her daughter to continue to waste time on club activities. So he went to the staff room and asked Taki to agree to Asuka Tanaka's withdrawal from the club.

To be honest, a hysterical woman is the last thing Duanmuhuai wants to get close to. The woman in front of him looks like a barking teddy, incompetent, weak and annoying. On the contrary, Taki, who is usually calm, was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic at this moment, saying, "As long as Tanaka-san is unwilling to withdraw from the club, then I will not let her withdraw."

 Then the woman got angry.

 “What if this child fails to go to college? How will you be responsible?”

Tanaka’s mother’s roar echoed in the staff room, while Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Tanaka Asuka held her mother's shoulders and tried her best to stop her.

 “I’m sorry, my mother...”

 “Why are you apologizing? It’s them who have to apologize!”

 "Mom, calm down first..."

 “Who can calm down!”

Tanaka’s mother was interpreting the word shrew to the extreme at this moment, but in the face of her roar, Taki said nothing and just stared at Tanaka Asuka. On the contrary, the dean was smiling apologetically while wiping his sweat in an attempt to appease him.

"People who are engaged in education should know what is the most important thing for children! If the target university needs recommendations for club activities, forget it, but this child has to take the general exam. I want to know about club activities. What a hindrance to my daughter!"

 “Yes, that’s right, what you said is absolutely correct.”

"Speaking of which, the only condition I promised her to continue playing the wind instrument was that she would withdraw from club activities after this. At this time in previous years, the third graders of the wind instrument club would have retired long ago! Why do we still have them practice every day now! It's too devoid of common sense. Got it!"

“It’s true, it’s really hard to join a club at this time...”

Faced with Tanaka's mother's roar, the dean of teachers was also groveling at this moment - to be honest, Duanmuhuai admired him a little when he was like this, but she would never be in the mood to deal with such a crazy woman.

 “Then why wasn’t her application for withdrawal from the company accepted!?”

"the reason is simple."

Just when the dean was about to explain something more, Taki interrupted the dean and looked at Tanaka's mother.

“I don’t see that this is Tanaka-san’s own intention. This application for withdrawal from the club should be your intention.”

"So what?"

Tanaka’s mother looked matter-of-fact.

"She is my daughter. I have raised my daughter to this age by myself. I have not relied on anyone but me. So my daughter's future is decided by me. My daughter will go to an excellent university and marry an excellent person. Live a happy life! Club activities are completely unnecessary for my daughter!"

"Yes, you, you are right... I also have a daughter who is in puberty, so I can understand your feelings very well. However, the school spirit of our high school has always been to respect the students' own will. Yes, so I still Can you please take a look at it again..."

The dean was still sweating profusely and trying his best to comfort him - to be honest, seeing him like this, Duanmuhuai wanted Rias to give him a salary increase. To be honest, the dean's ability to do this was beyond Duanmu Huai's expectations. You must know that in the past when Duan Muhuai was in school, when the dean encountered this kind of thing, he would first stand with the parents and support all their requests, regardless of right or wrong.

Unlike this one, he originally thought that the dean would ask Taki to let Asuka Tanaka withdraw from the club. Unexpectedly, although he smiled apologetically, he would not let go at all...

 However, unlike the apologetic dean, Taki was very determined at this moment. He glanced at Asuka Tanaka and then at her mother.

“I respect my wishes. As long as Tanaka-san does not withdraw from the club, I will not accept this application and there is no room for negotiation.”

　　　…………”

Faced with Taki's answer that had no room for change, Tanaka's mother was speechless for a moment. She was silent for a moment and turned to her daughter.

 “Asuka, tell me now that you want to quit the club.”

"Why?"

 “Say! Say you want to quit the club now!”

Tanaka’s mother’s screams made Duanmuhuai want to cover his ears, but as a teacher, he couldn’t leave now.

Asuka Tanaka looked at her mother and was silent for a moment.

 “I don’t want to quit the club——!”

"Snapped!"

　　However, before Tanaka Asuka finished her words, Tanaka’s mother slapped her **** the face, knocking Tanaka Asuka to the ground.

 Seeing this scene, there was an uproar and panic all around. However, at this moment, Tanaka's mother still glared at her daughter fiercely and yelled loudly.

"Why don't you listen to me! How much do you hate me, that's why you disobey me like this! That's why you want to hurt me like this! You chose that instrument because you were angry with me, right? You don't want to quit the club, right?" You want to make me feel uncomfortable!"

Facing her mother's scolding, Asuka Tanaka just stood up calmly, stretched out her hand to hold her mother's shoulders, and stared at her.

 “Mom, please don’t argue here, okay? Look, you’re causing trouble for everyone.”

Hearing this, Tanaka's mother seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She looked around, and then looked at Tanaka Asuka's red and swollen cheeks again, and then her whole expression began to gradually distort, and then her face burst into tears.

“Ah, I’m sorry, Asuka, mom is so angry that she has lost her mind again. I’m sorry, it’s obviously not allowed to leave scars on a girl’s face. For a mother like me, it’s normal for you to hate me...”

At this moment, not only Duanmuhuai, but also everyone in the entire staff room, whether teachers or students, were stunned when they saw this scene. After all, this woman was roaring hysterically like a lioness just now, but as soon as she turned around, she looked as pitiful as an abandoned puppy... Damn it, when did this woman learn the trick of changing her face?

“It’s okay, Mom, no matter what happens, I will never hate you.”

Compared to Tanaka's mother who was trembling at the moment and kept lowering her head to apologize, Asuka Tanaka herself was very calm. She patted her mother on the back and comforted her like a three-year-old child.

"Really?"

 “Well, so you don’t have to worry.”

Hearing Asuka's answer, Tanaka's mother suddenly showed an expression of relief, while Tanaka Asuka turned her head and looked at Duanmuhuai.

“Sorry, Teacher Duanmu, I will go back with my mother today. Can you let me leave early?”

 “Why are you asking me...Okay, go ahead.”

“Thank you, I will participate in club activities tomorrow, please don’t worry, I’m really sorry for causing trouble to everyone.”

 After saying this, Asuka Tanaka bowed to Duanmuhuai, and then left with her mother. After that, the entire staff room returned to normal - of course, everyone just stayed silent.

"To be honest, I think she needs a psychiatrist more than her daughter. This woman is mentally unstable."

Duanmuhuai shook his head. This kind of woman who went hysterical and crazy and then changed her face in an instant was really terrifying. Just when Duanmuhuai was about to return to his seat after watching the show, a voice suddenly sounded.

"teacher?"

"Um?"

Duanmu Huai turned around and saw Kumiko Huangqian staring at him uneasily.

 “Why are you here?”

 “I’m here to deliver my math notes...Teacher, Asuka-senpai, she...”

　　　…………”

Looking at Huang Qian Kumiko in front of him, Duanmu Huai sighed, and then looked around. Well, news spreads quickly among students. Many students saw the scene where Tanaka's mother went crazy just now, and it was obvious that Kumiko Huangzen was one of them.

 It’s certain that it’s only a matter of time before others find out about it.

But this is indeed a problem... Hey, forget it, who called me a consultant?

Duanmuhuai sighed silently and looked at Huang Qian Kumiko.

“Okay, I will explain this matter during the practice after class. You can go back.”

"yes."

Just as Duanmuhuai thought, the incident of Asuka Tanaka's mother making a big fuss in the staff room soon spread throughout the school. For others, it may just be fun to watch, but for the wind band club, this is a matter of life and death. After all, Asuka Tanaka is the principal euphonium player. Although the euphonium is not as outstanding as the violin or trumpet, as a qualified "background music", they are also indispensable.

Not to mention that Asuka Tanaka is also the vice president of the Wind Band Club. To be honest, she is more popular than President Haruka Ogasawara, who is as timid as a rabbit.

 So for the wind band club, this is a matter of life and death.

 So when Duanmuhuai came to the music classroom, everyone was already in place. Seeing Duanmu Huai walking up to the podium, they were all a little nervous - after all, in the minds of the members of the Wind Band Club, Duanmu Huai usually didn't get on stage easily, and something big would happen when he did.

 “Okay, I know what you want to ask.”

Looking at the pitiful way the members below looked at him, Duanmu Huai also rolled his eyes.

"Let me make it clear. The matter is very simple. Asuka Tanaka's mother believes that studying is the most important thing at the moment, so she came to ask for Asuka Tanaka to withdraw from the wind band club. The dean of students and Taki respected Asuka Tanaka's autonomy and ultimately did not agree. Tanaka’s mother’s request—now you understand?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s crisp and clear answer, many of the students below breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Duanmu Huai would not lie to them. Since he said so in vain, it was probably like this.

 However, for Duanmuhuai, this is just the beginning.

“Well, I haven’t finished speaking yet, so don’t get too happy too soon.”

Duanmu Huai knocked on the table, which made other students nervous again.

"Although this incident is sudden, it is not an isolated case. I will take this opportunity to say it. In fact, this is not a matter of Tanaka Asuka alone, but has something to do with all of you!"

 After saying this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows and stared at the students.

"There are many third-year students among you who are about to graduate. Indeed, I can understand Tanaka's mother's thoughts. If you plan to continue on the path of music, then just pretend I didn't say anything. But if you don't plan to rely on music school What? Like Asuka, if you go to an ordinary university, then for you, the current practice will definitely take up your study time, right? Do you think your parents can accept this? "

　　　…………”

As expected, everyone's expressions changed after hearing this.

"Don't think that the first and second grade students are irrelevant. You have also reached the third grade, and now our wind band club has entered the national competition. Let's not say what the results will be this year. Then next year we will Will we enter the national competition? What happens after that? If we have to participate in the national competition every year, then this level of practice will become the norm!"

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stared at everyone. They seemed to understand Duanmu Huai's meaning now, and they all looked serious.

"I'm not afraid to say it directly. I understand Tanaka's mother's thoughts very well. If you don't plan to engage in music in the future, then spending so much time practicing is simply a waste of time. I think many of your parents are the same as me. So, I suggest you talk to your parents about your plans and ideas for the future."

 “Plans and ideas?”

"That's right, it's not about the national competition, it's about what kind of life you want to live in the future and what kind of plans you have for it. Don't think that time is still very long. The three years of high school have gone by in a blink of an eye! I want you to Think clearly for yourselves what it means to you to enter the national competition! Because today's wind band club is no longer the wind band club that played house games in the past! We want to enter the country and win If you want a trophy, you must train hard! And training will definitely take up your study time!"

　　　…………”

At this time, not only the third graders, but also the first and second graders became serious. Indeed, regardless of what their results will be this year, if you ask them if they want to enter the national competition next year, they will definitely want to.

However, they overlooked one thing. To enter the national competition, they must practice a lot...which will inevitably take up time for study.

 Is this a problem?

Of course, because they are students, their job is to study.

"So, you must think clearly about what you are willing to pay for it! Studying and music! There are very few people who can do both! Especially for third-year students, unless they are volunteering to major in music, there must be a choice. ! So I suggest that you’d better talk to your parents. Their life experience is much richer than yours. Rather than worrying about it alone here, it’s a good choice to seek help from your parents.”

 Hearing this, the students below also started whispering.

 “Seek help from your parents?”

 “I hate it most when parents interfere in their children’s affairs.”

“Club activities are not decided by parents, right? Why do we need parents’ permission to do what we want to do?”

“The same is true for further education or employment. Why not let your children do what they want to do?”

　　　Oh, you are so brave.

Hearing the whispers below, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows. Before he spoke, no one below dared to gasp, but now he actually dares to talk nonsense?

 Looks like it’s time to step up our efforts.

 “Say something stupid!”

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, and everyone was frightened and shut up again.

"My parents raised you, gave you money to spend, and gave you some advice? Do you think you are the uncle? Besides, if you don't want your parents to interfere, you have to take the initiative yourself. Don't let your parents think, 'This child is nothing. You haven't even thought about it, and we still have to take care of it' - this is why parents often interfere with your choices! Is it useful to complain every day that your parents don't let you do what you want to do? "

“Then…Teacher, what should we do?”

 At this time, another student also raised his hand and asked.

“To be honest, I don’t know how to tell my parents...”

“Then let me give you some tips.”

 Hearing this, the students suddenly showed serious expressions.

"It's actually very simple. When you find your parents, you must first ask for advice, just like in school, you ask the teacher how to do this question. You can ask your parents in this way, what do I think about my future? If you plan this way, ask your parents to help you refer to it to see if there are any omissions. People generally like to be good teachers. And your parents are indeed older than you, and they must have more life experience than you, and their perspective on things is different from yours. .”

 “But Teacher Duanmu……”

 Hearing this, another student raised his hand.

 “What if they’re not happy with my plan?”

"Nonsense, they will definitely not be satisfied with your plan. On the one hand, you are just children after all. How perfect can your plan be? On the other hand, if your life plan is so perfect that it will be indescribable. If that’s the case, then what value do they have as parents? You can do anything by yourself, so what’s the point of having parents? Is the value of parents just giving you money without saying a word? Are you kidding! You Even when you go to work, you have to satisfy your boss before he gives you a bonus!"

"Well………"

"So I said, you have to use the tone of asking for advice from the beginning, instead of 'I decided to do this, and none of you should care' - just leave it to me and I will teach you how to be a good person with a slap in the face! As long as you Lower your attitude and ask for advice. At least the atmosphere will be good at the beginning. In this way, no matter whether your parents' suggestions are in line with your thoughts or not, everyone will have a communication attitude, right? If you come up and look like you are looking for someone to quarrel, that is not killing you. ?”

Looking at the classmates below who were listening carefully, Duanmu Huai also burst into tears.

 After such a long time, I finally did something that a teacher should do.

“That’s it, it’s up to you what to do next.”

“Teacher, Asuka-senpai’s side…”

 “Look at herself.”

Duanmu Huai answered without hesitation.

 “This is her choice and we have no right to interfere.”
