Can't you just leave me alone?

"" Don't learn how to speak from me! ""

The director of the chorus department sighed very clearly, she ignored the two 'senior sisters' who had been at odds with each other for more than two years, but led her members to speed up their pace.

Although I don't quite understand whether Mio-sensei simply made a mistake, or there are other reasons.But all in all, the auditorium should indeed have been rented by her.

Then, as long as they are one step ahead of these two, can they be the first to gain an advantage in the competition for the right to use the auditorium?This is the most effective way to solve the problem than talking to each other and sneering at each other.

Seemingly seeing this from her actions, the head of the Wind Music Department and the head of the String Music Department also shut their mouths, and chose to rush to the auditorium in the center of St. Eden Academy as soon as possible.

However, when they opened the door of the auditorium, they found that it was not empty.

On the stage in the center of the auditorium, a young man was standing there quietly. He held a bow in one hand, and fixed a musical instrument that reached his chest with the other hand.

All the people present were members of the music club, so they recognized the name of the instrument at a glance——

That's a double bass.

This huge musical instrument stood docilely and docilely beside the young man, quietly waiting for the moment when he played it.

In front of the boy, stood two girls in formal dresses.

One of them has pink hair as gorgeous as cherry blossoms, and the other has black hair as deep as ink.The two held hands and stood quietly in the center of the stage, as if they were quietly waiting for something.

"What are you doing here? This is the place our consultant rented for us to practice." Just before these words were about to be blurted out, a low and soft piano sound came over.

It seemed that they had already expected their reaction, and the teenager made his own 'response'——

He started playing the big guy.

Therefore, this question that was not uttered in the future can only remain in their hearts.

The double bass is the backbone of the sound in the band, the foundation of the basic rhythm.Normally, this massive instrument can only be used in slow play, but this shows its level even more.

As members of the well-known music club, they all know what level this young man has reached.This is almost the level of being able to go to Vienna's Golden Hall to perform.To be able to hear such a performance is entirely my own luck.

As the music progressed, the two girls standing beside Yuan Jing gently opened their lips——

“O Freunde, nicht diesel Tone!”

“Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen, und freudenvollere.”

"Freude! Freude!"

Fujiwara Chika's mother is now working as a diplomat. Because of this, she has learned many foreign languages ​​​​from her mother.

The original words of "Ode to Joy" come from the famous German poet Schiller, so its lyrics are naturally written in German.

Although the chorus of the two is still a little immature, it is obvious that it has been extremely carefully guided by a professional (referring to Ms. Touma Yoko).If you only read this song "Ode to Joy", the two of them are undoubtedly quite qualified.

But as the music progressed, certain indescribable emotions began to appear in everyone's hearts.

"Ode to Joy" is part of the Ninth Symphony written by Beethoven. movement.

The level of the boy's double bass can be called a master, and the chorus of the two girls is also remarkable.But the more this is the case, the more regrettable it becomes.

"Click."

Seemingly unable to bear this shortcoming, a girl among the crowd stepped forward, and under the surprised eyes of the others, Touma Kazusa gently jumped onto the stage.She carefully walked around the three of them, and then opened the lid of the grand piano on the stage.

The soft piano sound flows out, like a new stream, just blending into the sea called "Ode to Joy".

The girl's behavior is just a beginning signal.

After the piano, came the twin brothers viola and violin, then the clarinet joined in, and then the French horn, and besides the voices of the two girls, the voices of the chorus people also joined in... ..

This afternoon, hymns of joy filled the auditorium.

Chapter 48 Can't I be left alone?

Mio-sensei's request has been completed.

This does not mean that after playing "Ode to Joy" together, the three presidents were moved by the charm of music, so they cried bitterly and hugged each other, swearing that they would be one with each other happily.

That didn't happen.

Although music has magical powers, it is impossible for it to "snap" and change people's consciousness drastically.

It's not some weird hypnotic magic.

What Yuanjing and the others can do is to plant a seed called 'cooperation' in the hearts of these people; tell them: If you unite together, you can play even more beautiful music.

That's it.

But that's enough.

As for guiding this 'seed' so that it grows vigorously and bears fruit, that is Teacher Mio's job.

She has been wandering endlessly in the endless darkness for two years; then, now that she has found a ray of light, she will never let it slip away from her hands.

Although Yuanjing doesn't understand much, it seems to be the inspiration of the teacher profession.What is that sentence called, it seems to be "teaching and educating people is the foundation of happiness?"

All in all, although the process was a bit twists and turns, but the result is that everything is OK.

For Yuanjing, who believes in result-only theory, everything is ok.

......

Walking through the miscellaneous woods and entering the valley, the refrigerators covered with sun and rain and the hills piled up by scrapped vehicles will naturally come into view.

Looking at this familiar scene that is no different from his memory, Yuan Jing couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.

Because of the recent double bass practice, Yuanjing has not been here for a long time.

No, even if you don't go to practice the piano, the frequency of Yuanjing's coming here should be getting lower and lower.

Because compared with when he just crossed over, what he has now is much more.

Just like the secret base when I was a child, this valley should one day become a place that only exists in Yuanjing's memory.

Holding an inexplicable sadness, Yuan Jing slowly walked into this small valley.

But at this moment, his ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of a branch falling to the ground being broken.

He looked back and found a woman looking at him with some embarrassment, as if annoyed by his previous carelessness.

Ah, almost forgot.

Just like Mio-sensei, he also has a homeroom teacher who desperately wants to fulfill his duties as a teacher.Yuanjing sincerely hoped that she would transfer this sense of responsibility beyond ordinary people to other students.

By the way, Shizuka Hiratsuka, are you addicted to stalking?

I just said that I can not pursue it for the first time. If you think I will always be so magnanimous, then you are very wrong.

......

"Yo." Yuan Jing threw a bottle of drink to Shizuka Hiratsuka, and the aluminum soda can rotated in the air for three and a half weeks before being firmly grasped by a slender and powerful hand.But she didn't pull it away directly, but looked at its packaging carefully, and then asked a little strangely, "Where did you get this? Why have I never heard of this trademark?"

Yuanjing pointed to his previous direction, which was the direction of the station, "There is a vending machine next to this station. It seems that because it is too far away from the city and the traffic is not convenient, the merchants there use local materials. There are always some weird drinks in there. Every time I come, I have to go there to see if there are any weird drinks.”

"That is to say..." Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed to the jar of unknown liquid in her hand, and said with an unnatural expression, "Is this the 'weird' for today?"

"Binggo~! That's right, Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka." Yuan Jingjing nodded, affirming her statement, "By the way, according to my experience, the probability that this drink is quite bad is 37%, and the probability that it is bad is 32%, the probability of being good is only 17%.”

"What kind of weird statistic is this? Are you serious? Where did the other 14% go?"

"Another 14% were 'too sweet for my liking but some people might like it so it can't be classified as bad'."

"No, please just put the 14% in the 'difficult to drink'..." Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the soda can in his hand, hesitated for a moment, but finally did not open it.

Now she quite misses the homemade drink that Yuanjing gave her last time, but Yuanjing didn't seem to bring it with her.

Of course, it is also possible that he simply wants to make himself suffer.

After all, in his eyes, he should be the culprit who destroyed his peaceful life.

Playing with the unknown drink in his hand with some regret, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned his attention to Yuanjing——

"Student Yuanjing, I have worked hard for you recently."

Yuanjing understood what her 'recently' meant.

It wasn't the 'latest' when he started practicing the double bass, but a little earlier, probably as early as the noon when she brought Yukinoshita Yukino to him.

More than three weeks is not 'recent', it's been almost a month.

"...It's nothing." Yuan Jing shook his head.Although Shizuka Hiratsuka played a role in fueling the flames, these things are his own choices, so he doesn't need others' understanding, and his resentment towards Shizuka Hiratsuka is not strong.

"How is it? How does it feel to get along with other people?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Yuan Jing's expression, as if wanting to discover the true feelings hidden in Yuan Jing's heart, "Yukinoshita Yukino, Fujiwara Chika, and Touma Kazusa, Wouldn't it be better to be with these lovely girls than to be alone?"

Yuanjing tried to recall the experience of about three weeks and compared it with the previous one month or so, and the final answer was——

"I still think it's easier to be alone." After pondering for a long time, he nodded deeply. "If possible, I still hope to live a single life alone."

Hiratsuka Shizu could see that every sentence he said was true.And it's not anything that contains boastful Versailles quotes.

Even though he has experienced some things with the three girls and has a certain degree of fetters, he still feels that the life of being alone is the most suitable for him, and there is almost no change in this point.

Hiratsuka quietly sighed from the bottom of her heart, but her face didn't look sad, instead she had a sly smile on her face, "Unfortunately, even if you want to continue to be alone now, it may not be possible .”

"..." Yuan Jing was a little speechless, because the reality seemed to be the case.

Can't you leave me alone and just leave me alone?

Chapter 1 Murder case book

Since school started in September, two months have passed quietly.On the calendar, the two pages representing September and October were quietly torn off by the gods who control time, and Saint Eden Academy ushered in another November for her.

For this famous historical school that has carried nearly 200 years of time, this is just an extremely ordinary month.

But for the thousands of students who board at it, November holds a rather special meaning.

Because this is the time when the school uniformly holds midterm exams.

For the first and second grades of middle school and non-college candidates, St. Eden Academy will hold two unified large-scale examinations every semester.

That is the midterm exam and the final exam.

Although it is not as important as the final exam, which is directly related to class placement, the mid-term exam is still a big mountain lingering in front of many students.As the midterm exams approached, the atmosphere in the whole school became tense, filled with a sense of depression that was about to come.

But this has nothing to do with Yuanjing.

At noon, the lamb will go to the house.

Yuan Jing sat in his exclusive seat as a matter of course, with a thick tome in front of him.

He has finished his lunch and is enjoying this wonderful time leisurely.

And at this moment-

"Student Yuanjing, do you really not review at all?"

In the bright and energetic voice of the past, an unconcealable sense of resentment has already been revealed.Yuan Jing knew who was talking as soon as he heard it, not only that, but he actually understood the other party's mood quite well.

During the exam week, when you are desperately reviewing and preparing for the exam, and you are so busy, you find that your roommate is still having a good time every day, and even plans to go out to watch a movie or listen to a concert at night.No matter how harmonious the usual relationship is, at this moment, I can't help but feel a little bit unhappy.

However, although he expressed his understanding of the other party's mood, it did not mean that Yuan Jing had to answer obediently.

It's a pity that someone seems to be getting used to how to deal with the source scene at this time.Between Yuanjing and the tome in front of him, a pink head came in.

Don't just read books, come and see me too.

Exuding such an aura, Chika Fujiwara got between Yuanjing and the books on his desk, occupying his field of vision as if urging her.A little different from her usual self, she now has a pair of small women's glasses on the bridge of her nose, which gives her a quiet and bookish look.

It's a pity that unlike some monsters made of clay and possessing magic immunity, Yuanjing is not a spectacle control.

"Fujiwara-san, I have to tell you that the place where you are lying down is very unlucky." He tilted his head back slightly and said, "Just under your right cheek, Watson is reading the letter Holmes wrote to him. A suicide note, I don't think it bodes well for students whose exams are coming up."

"You, a person who is still reading "Sherlock Holmes" before the exam, have the nerve to tell me what auspicious or ominous omens?" Fujiwara Chika did not waver at all, "Besides, he is not really dead, so naturally it cannot be said What is auspicious or unlucky?"

She appeared a little weak, not at all the cheerful and lively spirit she used to be. It seemed that the approach of the midterm exam seemed to put a lot of pressure on her.

It's not that she didn't study well enough.In fact, Chika Fujiwara's academic level is at least above average.But before the exam, the students who are most anxious are often these middle-level students.They are neither as masterful as Yukinoshita Yukino, nor as scumbags as Touma Kazua, who can simply lie flat and die.

Both are full of hope for their own achievements, and have some doubts about their own strength.Fujiwara Chika is in such an embarrassing situation.

"Speaking of which, even if I'm in the same class as you, I don't seem to have seen you revising." Lying on Yuanjing's desk, Fujiwara Chika said thoughtfully: "Are you really okay? I remember that for a special student like you, the midterm exam seems to be not only linked to the scholarship for the next semester, but also seems to be deported to the country of origin if you fail the math subject."

That's right.The reason why St. Eden Academy recruits special students is that the future of the other party is what they value.The school doesn't mind weeding out these 'bonus thieves' from their 'great' campus if the special recruits don't want to do it when they come in.Although there are very few people who are kicked out of campus because of failing exams, there are still a few every year.

"For the exam, isn't it enough to just listen to what the teacher said in class?" Yuan Jing asked a little strangely.

"...These words make people inexplicably angry," Fujiwara Chika felt a dark emotion surging deep in her heart, she jumped up and pulled herself to the room "This kind of words that are full of loopholes at first glance, but they can't escape the piercing eyes of Lord Qianhua! Let me beat you in the exam!"

"...No problem on my side. But I hope you can finish it in 10 minutes."
