Tokyo: Who would still fall in love after being spoiled?

Chapter 88 "There will always be a tomorrow that will usher in spring."

"You know them?" Asukai was stunned for a moment, and a little wary. "Ah'an, you said you've never been involved in the wind band, so how do you know so many people?"

"Coincidence." Both times were really coincidences.

"I think you have another purpose..." Asukai paused and asked, "You're not going to say 'Yanako is coming back', are you?"

"Let's assume this first, do you welcome or oppose it?" He was also weighing it in his mind.

There have been a lot of things going on recently, and he actually doesn't have much time to persuade the senior student to come back as a new member.

The simplest and most feasible solution is undoubtedly for him to perform the saxophone solo that was replaced by the oboe in the last competition.

But putting aside the rationality of one person being able to play so many instruments, he had watched the video of the wind playing competition on a video website beforehand. There was only a short break between the subject music and the free music, and the performance was almost continuous from the beginning to the end.

There was no room for him to change instruments mid-sentence, and the rules probably didn't allow it. Or perhaps the Wind Music League had never considered this issue before.

Furthermore, he was still considering whether to play the trumpet solo.

Once he takes on the role of soloist, it almost means that he will not be able to withdraw from the wind band before the end of the national competition. Even if he has completed the system task after the Kanto competition, he will still have to spend a lot of time on this matter.

After weighing the pros and cons, it would be more cost-effective to try to persuade Maoyada to come back.

"Of course you're welcome!" Asukai asked curiously, "You don't think I'd give up on myself and even give up the chance to enter the national competition just because I hate her choice, do you?"

"If Yanaizi comes back, can she enter the national competition?" he asked.

"At least the chances are better than now," Asukai said, "Not only will we no longer be at a disadvantage in the project song, but also..."

"Besides," Tamura paused playing and continued, "If Nekayada could come back, we'd have the confidence to persuade Mr. Nishimoto to change the free music back to its original form. Many of the third-year members of the wind band think the same way."

"What do you mean all 'third-year members' think this way?" Asuka raised his voice.

"It's true," she continued, "I didn't mean anything else."

"You said this morning you liked the solo part in 'Asumi Haru'!" Asuka didn't listen to her excuses. "How long did it take us to practice 'Gorgeous Dance' until we could barely perform it on stage together? Even when we performed together at the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, there were still many unavoidable mistakes.

"'Tomorrow's Spring' is easier than 'Gorgeous Dance', but we only have less than a month to practice. Do you really think we can practice to the point where we can surpass 'Gorgeous Dance' in scoring advantage even though we've been practicing for four months?"

"This month is during summer vacation," Tamura said calmly, unwaveringly, stating his point, "From April to the Tokyo Tournament, it's said to be four months, but it's basically during school hours, so we only have practice time in the early morning and evening.

"Also, a considerable amount of time was allocated to honing the members' coordination and practicing the project music. Now, ensemble practice of the project music will no longer take up much time."

"So, do you think we can use the so-called flawed 'Asumi Haru' to get a higher rating than 'Gorgeous Dance Music' at the Kanto Tournament?"

“It’s risky, but not impossible.”

"What about spending a month this summer practicing 'Gorgeous Dance'? Wouldn't it definitely be better than playing in the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition?"

"Yes." Tamura still agreed, just like he was treating his joining.

"Then why do you want to draw a line between yourself and the so-called third-year students and go against us?" Asukai continued to question.

"If you don't like this wording, I apologize." Tamura glanced at him. "It's just to make it easier to explain to Inoue-san. As long as you can persuade Nekoyada to return and persuade Nishimoto-sensei to change his decision, I will cooperate."

All she wanted was to blow the trumpet, in her daily practice and on the stage in the future.

She longs to step onto a bigger stage, but that is far from the end of the road.

The only end she could see was the sound of the trumpet, it could only be the sound of the trumpet.

Going on stage was not her goal, but only a necessary means for her to achieve a certain goal - he was extremely sure of this, and this was something he had also felt very strongly about Amano.

"That's a nice thing to say." Asukai's words were harsh, but his tone had softened considerably, and his emotions had finally calmed down. "It's almost time for ensemble practice." He had just received a Line message, checked the time, and kindly reminded her.

"Ah... it's one fifty! Time flies..." Asukai picked up the trumpet, picked up the music score, and stood up in a hurry.

Tamura also put away the sheet music.

"Isn't there still ten minutes?" He looked at the message on Line and hadn't figured out how to reply.

"We need to tune the instruments before the ensemble starts, and we can also discuss some things at the same time..." Asuka explained to him in a urging tone while walking quickly out of the classroom.

"Inoue-san can wait another five minutes." Tamura kindly reminded him when he saw him put away his phone and started to pack up the music scores.

"Never mind," he smiled politely and stood up as well. "Newcomers always have to behave well."

In a sense, these ten minutes were even more important to him than the ensemble itself.

Tamura nodded slightly to show his understanding, turned his head away, and caught up with Asuka in front.

He followed at the end, his thoughts in a mess, the message he just received on Line lingering in his mind.

It was from Takeda, and he had expected this.

But when I actually saw it, I still couldn't think of any way to do anything about it.

Understanding philosophy and resolving emotions are two different things.

[Takeda: What a pity——]
[Takeda: The rental housing renovation plan will be put on hold for a while.]
It was the first time he heard Takeda talking to him in such a tone.

Takeda has always been straightforward with his emotions, rarely forcing himself or hiding anything.

So when you really want to cover it up, you can't hide it no matter what.

[Takeda: My mother's examination results showed that her lungs were severely damaged. She will need to remain in the hospital for at least a month for observation.]
[Takeda: But there is also a good thing——]
She even tried to lie to him a little clumsily.

[Takeda: From now on, my mother will eat the set meals provided by the hospital, so I won’t have to go to the hospital every day.]
This is not good news...

[Takeda: This way I'll have time to voice the main character in "The Wrong Love."]
[Takeda: In exchange, you will accompany my mother every night, except when I have to wash myself.]
He walked to the front of the wind instrument department and was about to enter the classroom when he stopped, sighed, and called Takeda.

After nearly ten seconds, Takeda finally answered the call.

"What would you like to eat tonight?" he asked.

"Don't ask that, hang up." Takeda ordered on the other end of the phone.

The loud broadcast voice informing patient number X to go to which window sounded like background noise on the other end of the phone.

Even after he hung up the phone, the sharp, almost noisy sound of the electronic speaker still buzzed in his ears and could not be shaken off.

　Danse Foltre is considered by many to be the "most technically difficult piece" of orchestral music.

　　For example, the solo section in the middle section starts with the B-flat clarinet, then transitions to the woodwind instruments, and then to the oboe, B-flat clarinet, alto saxophone, flute (the longest solo section), basset, piccolo and trumpet (one of the key points).

　　Then there is the fugue-style woodwind ensemble, the almost most difficult French horn part, etc.

　　----

　　"Tomorrow's Spring" is a fictional piece of music. Due to my limited personal skills, I cannot really compose such a piece of music. I can only give everyone a general idea through text description.

　　In terms of technical difficulty, taking "Gorgeous Dance" as a score of 10, "Tomorrow Spring" is about 7 points.
