Is this the breath of youth?

"It seems like everyone is looking forward to the game the day after tomorrow." Akai Muzi smiled.

"Of course!" a girl shouted, "Teacher Akai! We have been training for so long just to perform well in the Nakajima Festival!"

"Correct!"

"It would be fine if I didn't work hard! But now that it has come to this, I have to be serious no matter what!"

"Right! We in Tachibana Kita will never admit defeat! After all, we used to be the best high school in Hokkaido!"

"That's right! We in Jubei have always been number one in the past!"

"Jubei! First!"

One girl took the lead, and the other girls followed suit. Everyone was sweating, but they were cheering happily.

Akai Muzi smiled and said:

"Teacher Akai can understand your feelings. I also trained day and night like this. I was so tired that I just wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep when I got home. I just wanted to be in the best condition on the day of the competition."

"Did Akai-sensei and Fujii-sensei also train together like this?"

A boy asked boldly, and the girls covered their faces and laughed.

Akai Muzi smiled nonchalantly and responded: "Of course."

"Why hasn't Akai-sensei confessed his feelings to Fujii-sensei yet? Everyone is privately saying that Fujii-sensei is still single! Fujii-sensei is waiting for you impatiently!"

What the hell?

Fujii Itsuki was very upset.

"Confession!"

The students started to make noise again.

"Okay, I'll confess my feelings right then and there."

"Wow~~!"

Akagi Muzi turned around: "Ahem, Fujii, I like you."

"reject."

"Look!"

"what--!"

The girls began to complain, saying things like "Why didn't Mr. Fujii accept it?", "Mr. Akai is great!", "Mr. Akai is an international student in the United States!".

Do these little girls really like to match me and Akai?

You dare to make fun of yourself.

When you come for training tomorrow, I will let you run ten laps first.

Fujii Itsuki noticed the gloomy expression on Chitose Haruki's face and immediately became serious, interrupting the girls' jokes.

"Alright, alright, joking aside, now that the training is over, let's all go. I see you're all tired, so hurry up and go home and rest."

"What? You don't want to go home yet?"

"Teacher Fujii, the competition will be the day after tomorrow!"

"Yeah, didn't I just say that?"

"So, can you let us stay and train for a while longer?"

Fujii Itsuki glanced at Akai Muzi, who stretched out her hand, signaling him to make the decision.

He looked around at the girls and walked forward.

"Since everyone still has energy to train, let's walk around the playground ten more times!"

He thought that this would be enough to intimidate the group of girls who would complain every time they ran a few steps, but he didn't expect that this time, they responded with full energy:

"Yes!"

The task of shouting commands was given to the president, Aoyama Shoko. Fujii Itsuki saw Akai Muko walking towards him in the sunset.

She stood next to Fujii Itsuki.

"Akai, your idea is good. Let the first-year students and 11 substitute members serve as the guard of honor in the front, and let Jiuhua lead the way."

"Isn't this basic operation? Anyway, the limit on the number of people is for the official competition, not the parade of the Nakajima Festival. Jiuhua is such a beautiful girl, no one is more suitable than her to be the captain of the honor guard."

Talking about Jiuhua, the two were quiet for a while.

"How is Jiuhua these days?"

"Fortunately."

Akai Muzi put one hand on her waist and looked at Jiuhuayue who was walking in the front. "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that she looks a bit like Qiansui."

"Like Chitose?"

“The level of effort.”

"She is looking forward to you."

"What? Me?"

Fujii Itsuki sat on the back of the bench and explained, "After you told her about your and my high school experience, she always wanted to be good friends with me. You heard it, didn't you?"

"Good friends?" Akai Muzi remembered the words Jiuhuayue often said.

"Yeah. Good friend."

"." Akagi Muzi pondered for a moment, and roughly figured out the reason, "Unfortunately, this dream of 'good friends' has been shattered by you, Fujii."

".I just made the choice based on my level. Besides, Qiansui has placed her dream on me. She has waited for me for so many years, and I must take her forward."

"Aren't there other girls in the trumpet section? If you show favoritism, Jiuhua will only lose the position of soloist."

"What are you talking about, Akai? Those girls are already in their third year. This is their last hope. They are the most determined people in the club, and they are all for the national competition. I can't successfully promote the goal of the national competition in the club, but I can't force them to do so without them raising their hands."

"If you don't force it, the school will."

"I know"

"Let's talk about Jiuhua. How is she doing recently? I noticed her expression the other day."

"It's okay." Fujii Itsuki closed his eyes.

"fine?"

"Yes, it's nothing. It's like what happened that day didn't affect her at all. Even though she was eliminated, she still trains as usual every night."

"Or the previous training volume?"

"Yes. It feels even more serious."

After hearing this, Akai Muzi had a strange expression on her face, "I suddenly don't understand. Doesn't she take this matter very seriously?"

"I don't understand it either, but it's the truth."

"I think Jiuhua is holding something in her heart, Fujii, you should pay more attention."

"Is it.?"

Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but take a closer look at Jiuhuayue who was walking at the front of the queue.

He also couldn't figure out what this child wanted to do.

After completing the training and moving the musical instruments back, Fujii Itsuki said goodbye to Akai Muko and ended his work for the day.

He followed his daily routine, first going to the supermarket to buy groceries and then going home.

When I got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I reached the door, I smelled the aroma of food coming from inside.

When he entered the room, he saw that it was indeed Xiao Jiuhua who was cooking. The girl was wearing an apron and had a neat high ponytail.

Three dishes were already placed on the table.

The dishes this time are much more serious.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised tofu, and curry rice.

At least it looks good.

Jiuhuayue heard the sound of the door opening and smiled:

"I'm home?"

"Huh? Hmm"

"Uncle, come sit down now. I'm cooking. It will be ready soon. You sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while."

Jiu Huayue walked towards him, took his briefcase, and also picked up the suit he had draped over his arm.

Fujii Itsuki was not used to being treated so kindly.

Very virtuous.

He also helped him take off his suit and hung it on the wooden rack.

Fujii Itsuki was a little confused. He wondered if he had entered a science fiction world.

Who are you?

Who is in front of you?

Who are these dishes on the table made for?

Fujii Itsuki was in a mess for a long time, looking at Jiuhuayue who was wearing a ponytail in the open kitchen.
