When Mizuto arrived at the field, like always, everyone's attention was on him, but the one who approached him was Reina.
"Why?"
Even though Reina said that her face was full of smiles since she didn't expect Mizuto to join the concert band club. Still, even if she asked this question, she knew why he decided to come.
Yesterday.
If it wasn't because of that day, she knew that he wouldn't come.
'So it is because he is worried about me...'
Her heart felt so sweet, and the smile on her face was so bright, which was something usually impossible for many to see, as she usually showed an indifferent and cold expression.
"Don't show such a smile. It's a bit creepy."
Reina pouted and lightly slapped his arm, but then she asked worriedly, "But is that okay? Aren't you busy with many things, and it isn't easy to learn oboe." Unlike the others, who thought that he had one or two skills with the oboe, considering how confident he was when he came to the clubroom, she knew that her lover was a layman, a newbie. Moreover, what he wanted to play was the oboe, the hardest wind instrument to play!
Lastly, while Reina knew that Taki might be great, she knew that Taki wasn't so great in every area. This guy didn't know much about the oboe; the only one who knew about this wind instrument was Mizore, their upperclassman.
"Don't underestimate me. I have decided to do this, so I will do it."
"...."
Watching how he had decided to do it, Reina felt helpless, thinking that this guy was more stubborn than she had thought, but wasn't he this kind of guy? Even though he knew that something was difficult to achieve, he didn't give up and kept trying, and this was also part of him that made her fall.
"Do you need my help?"
"Just focus on your training. On the SunFest, the oboe isn't being played, so I have time to learn the oboe during that time. On the other hand, you have an important duty to play, right? So, while you do your best to achieve your ambition, I will do my best to learn the oboe."
Mizuto looked at Reina with a smile and said, "Don't be surprised if I am better than you later."
While Reina was in a daze because of his words, which made him so handsome, his next words made her speechless: "If you succeed, then I can wear those clothes." Nevertheless, she didn't deny him and somehow felt like he could do it even though she knew that it was impossible, especially when most people could become great after four years of learning.
Frankly, the wind instrument wasn't something easy to learn, and it needed a lot of hard work to become great with it.
Like Reina, the reason why she was so good was because she had learned a trumpet from her childhood. It was because she had worked so long that she could be good, so how could Mizuto, who had never learned a musical instrument, learn such a difficult-to-learn musical instrument?
Yet, Reina didn't deny him since somehow... she felt like Mizuto could do it.
Mizuto might have learned a musical instrument in the past, but due to something, he stopped learning.
At this moment, her mind kept thinking about many things, like how the plot of the drama unfolded.
The genius musician somehow retired due to a certain reason.
In Reina's mind, Mizuto was like that, and that was why she thought she would reward him if he was really able to learn this musical instrument.
Nevertheless, even if he couldn't do it, she would still give him his reward since she had to say his move had touched her heart.
Still, Mizuto shook his head since even if Reina didn't reward him, he could still ask her to change into a unique costume.
"But you don't have an oboe later, right?"
"I will buy it later."
"Do you need me to go with you?" Reina asked, showing she was ready to help him anytime.
"It's okay. Yoroizuka-senpai will accompany me to buy it later."
"Yoroizuka-senpai?" Reina raised her brows. "That quiet Senpai?"
"Do you have a right to say that?" Mizuto looked at Reina speechlessly since his lover was much more horrible than Mizore Yoroizuka.
Reina was indifferent and cold, but in Mizore's case, she was just socially inept. This was why Mizuto had never urged Mizore and waited for her to say something when they had a conversation earlier.
"...did you seduce her?"
"...did you think that I will seduce any girls that come to me? If so, then all of our classmates are my lovers now."
"....."
"You are right."
Reina nodded and felt that she might be thinking too much since, as Mizuto had said, if he wished to, probably all of his female classmates would become his lovers.
"Then, can I follow you?" Reina asked since she would be lying if she didn't want to know about the oboe.
Mizuto thought for a moment and shook his head. "Yoroizuka-senpai is... very shy and introverted. I have troubled her with my matters. It is a bit hard for me to ask you to come with me."
"...okay but tell me if you need anything." Reina knew Mizuto had decided to join the concert band club so suddenly because of her, and she wished to do something for him.
'You silly...' The reason Mizuto came to the concert band club was to help Reina, but this girl said that she would help him, but he smiled and said, "I will."
However, there was no doubt that their interaction was seen by many and surprised them since Reina, who had always been cold and avoided the others, was so vibrant and soft when she stood by Mizuto's side.
"Ku-Kumiko, are they..."
Hazuki Katou and Kawashima Midori (Sapphire) looked at Mizuto and Reina in surprise and forlorn before they looked at Kumiko as if asking for confirmation.
Kumiko wanted to say something, but in the end, she shut her mouth. "Just ask them if you are curious."
If they could, then would they ask Kumiko?
Nevertheless, they had no chance of asking Mizuto or getting close to him, especially when Taki had told them to gather on the field to start their training.
"R-Running?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded by Taki's instruction. "Yes. Do a lap around the school as fast as you can. You have ninety seconds. Anyone that takes longer will be doing another lap."
"Huh?!"
"What?!"
"Wh-What's the point of that?!"
Everyone couldn't help but complain since even if strong breathing was necessary for a wind instrument, no one liked to do physical training among them, especially when most of them were girls, and being sweaty was something that they wanted to avoid, especially when their prince was there!
What if they smelled sour and sweaty?!
However, Taki ignored them and clapped his hands. "Ready? Go!"
"..."
Facing how unreasonable their teacher was, no one could do anything except run.
Mizuto also started to run, and he could see Akatsuki in the distance, which made him speechless since that girl was staring at him, observing him, clearly stalking him.
"Irido-kun! Run as fast as you can! You can run faster, right?"
When Mizuto heard Taki's voice, he was speechless. Even if he ran normally, he was still in the first area, where the fastest runner in the concert band had to do their best to run. However, since this teacher told him to do his best, he would show ten percent of his power.
*Baam!*
Like the harsh stomp of a stallion on the earth, the moment he ran, he left everyone directly.
"..."
Watching all of this, they thought that Mizuto should join a club that was related to sports.
"Irido! Go and aim for the Olympics with me! I will train you to reach the Olympics!"
"....." Everyone.
Mizuto glanced at the PE teacher and ignored this person for a while, thinking about the current situation of the concert band club.
Still, if there was one impression that he gained from the overall situation, then it would be—lazy.
'However, with this teacher...'
Mizuto glanced at Taki's direction and thought that he should observe the situation before he made a decision.
When Mizuto arrived at the field, like always, everyone's attention was on him, but the one who approached him was Reina.
