Chapter 62: Kitauji! Fight!!

(This chapter is a Kitauji plot, a transition.)

At the same time, Kyoto, Kitauji High School.

Because they had to participate in the performance event at Sun Park, Huangqian Kumiko arrived at school early. This morning, the Wind Instrument Department was quite busy; not only did they have to move instruments to the venue, but some large instruments even had to be transported by truck.

After nearly an hour of busyness, Huangqian Kumiko boarded the Wind Instrument Department's bus. Beside her was the Huangqian siblings' good friend, Shuichi Tsukamoto.

"Hey, Shuichi, do you think Brother will make it in time?" Kumiko asked with a mix of anticipation and worry.

Shuichi Tsukamoto leaned against the window, smiled after hearing Kumiko's question: "If Brother Huangqian Yangyi says he'll come, he definitely will. Even if he couldn't buy a ticket, he would run here. For Kumiko, he's always been like that, hasn't he?"

Huangqian Kumiko gave a soft "mm," and the phone she was holding in her hand suddenly began to vibrate. Opening it to look, it was indeed a message from her big brother.

"Kumiko, Brother is already on the Shinkansen, wait for me!"

"Hee hee~"

Kumiko held her phone tightly against her chest; her big brother was coming to see her performance.

"Kumiko, I heard your brother is coming back to see the performance?"

A girl with short tea-colored hair poked her head out from the back row and asked.

"Mm, he's coming." Kumiko looked blissful.

"Really? That Huangqian Yangyi, the pitcher from the famous Tokyo baseball powerhouse Seido High School who appeared in the newspaper before and is called the strongest monster of his generation?" Hazuki Kato said with an incredibly exaggerated expression.

It must be said that the sport of baseball is truly very popular in Japan; even people completely unrelated to baseball will pay attention to news in this area.

Not to mention, the protagonist in this case was her good friend's brother.

"I know him too. Kumiko's brother is super handsome, especially when he's directing the audience, just like Teacher Noboru Taki!" Beside Hazuki Kato was Sapphire Kawashima with fluffy blonde hair; the little girl was very cute, looking like an elementary school student.

Listening to her good friends' discussion, Kumiko felt both proud and happy inside; this feeling was really good.

Just then, a beautiful woman with long black hair and glasses in the front row turned her head back.

"Oh my, I didn't expect cute Kumiko-chan to be a brother-con who can't live without her brother. An unexpected contrast."

"Senior Asuka Tanaka, please don't say that." Kumiko blushed and covered Asuka Tanaka's mouth.

At 9:00 AM, the entire Wind Instrument Department of Kitauji High School arrived at Sun Park. With one hour left until the performance started, everyone was tuning their own instruments.

Kumiko was wearing a blue and white sailor uniform, with a small cat ornament on her head, and was looking around while hugging the Euphonium she had practiced with since she was little.

Because she had changed clothes, her phone was not on her person. Unable to contact her brother, Kumiko could only search around in the crowd.

As time passed, there were more and more people at Sun Park, and the Wind Instrument Department, which was about to perform, also began to assemble at the call of Department Head Haruka Ogasawara.

On the other side, Huangqian Yangyi, who had just gotten out of the station, took off running.

"It's too late, hurry up!" Huangqian Yangyi urged Miyuki behind him.

"Got it, got it. You guy, is there any need to be this anxious?" Miyuki complained while running.

The two quickly hailed a taxi and rushed toward Sun Park.

"I'm telling you, taxis are expensive."

Sitting in the back row, Miyuki whispered a reminder to Huangqian Yangyi.

"So what? Time waits for no one," Huangqian Yangyi said.

Uh... Miyuki leaned back helplessly. Seeing Huangqian Yangyi holding a camera with an impatient look, he felt the world was truly absurd.

This level of brother-con; he had lived for over ten years and had only seen it in books. He didn't expect it to actually exist in reality.

That said, Senior Fujiwara Takako was probably going to be disappointed.

As a genius Catcher who occupied the high ground of intelligence, how could Miyuki not see that Fujiwara Takako had some thoughts about Huangqian Yangyi? Perhaps it hadn't reached the level of liking him yet, but there was definitely a good impression. It was a pity; Yangyi was a perverted brother-con.

Sun Park.

"The Sunrise Festival parade performance by the wind instrument departments of various high schools in the prefecture is about to begin. Relevant personnel, please gather at the arena and wait in line."

As the broadcast sound rang out, the wind instrument departments of each high school were ready.

Team after team began to perform, the pleasant sounds of instruments rang out, and the roadsides of the park were full of spectators who had come to watch the excitement.

"Students of the Tachibana High School Wind Instrument Department, please get ready." The broadcast rang out again.

"It's over, it's over, it's almost our turn, I'm so nervous," Hazuki Kato said in a panicked whisper. After Tachibana High School, the next to go on stage for the parade performance would be their Kitauji High School.

Unlike the others who were nervous, Huangqian Kumiko hugged her Euphonium and lowered her eyes. Brother, did you still not make it?

"Kumiko！！！！!"

A loud voice came from afar.

Suddenly lifting her head, Kumiko felt as if she had been injected with a stimulant, and her eyes shone with brilliance.

It's Big Brother!

In just an instant, Huangqian Kumiko followed the direction of the voice and saw Huangqian Yangyi standing in front of the crowd waving at her.

"Kumiko! Brother is here to see you!!"

Huangqian Yangyi didn't care at all about the strange looks from the crowd around him, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Kumiko gave a soft "mm" and took a deep breath. She must perform well, bring out her best state, and absolutely must not let her brother down!

"Next is the performance by the Kitauji High School Wind Instrument Department."

After Tachibana High School, the performance of Kitauji High School began.

"Kitauji, fight!!"

"Fight!!"

Wind Instrument Department Head Haruka Ogasawara led everyone in shouting.

Neat steps, pleasant playing; this school, which had no fame in wind music, immediately attracted the attention of passersby.

"Hey hey, Kazuya, that's my little sister, isn't she cute!" Huangqian Yangyi grabbed Miyuki's collar with one hand and pointed at the direction where his sister was with the other.

"I see it, I see it. Take it easy, you jerk."

There were already a lot of people, and it was crowded to death. Being grabbed by Huangqian Yangyi, Miyuki felt like he couldn't breathe.

Very soon, the Kitauji team was about to march in front of Huangqian Yangyi, and with the video camera in his hands turned on, Huangqian Yangyi zoomed the lens in and shoved it directly into his younger sister's face.

So cute, she looks like she's working really hard.

Ugh~~

Miyuki, standing to the side, couldn't help but shiver; terrifying, if he had a brother like that, he would definitely be unable to resist killing him!

This foolish expression lasted until the Kitauji High School performance ended, and Huangqian Yangyi immediately took Miyuki to the spectator stands of the central stadium; until all the schools had finished their performances and everything was over, Huangqian Yangyi leaped down from the spectator stands amidst Miyuki's astonished gaze.

No way! You're a Pitcher! Seido's precious Pitcher! What will you do if you get injured doing such a dangerous action?

Thinking this, Miyuki also jumped down after him.
