Two weeks later Kumiko wondered why Taki-sensei had asked her to stay with him for a little. Perhaps he was going to tell her she wasn't going to play with the others for the competitions. Fine with her. It wasn't like they were going to reach it anyway.

"As you know, Oumae-san, every year we go on a trip." Taki-sensei said.

"We only started doing that when you got here, Taki-sensei, we've never actually went on one as far as I'm aware of." Kumiko said with a sarcastic laugh.

Taki adjusted his glasses as he blinked a few times. "Is that so? Interesting. Anyway, my question for you is if you were willing to go with us. The times I have worked with you were fairly pleasant, to be honest. If you want to, you could even go to X music school."

Kumiko had never really thought of her future like this. She always thought she'd stay together with Azusa.

"I'll go." Kumiko said without a second thought.

The man blinked a few times more. "Are you sure Oumae-san? It will be for almost a week and the training will be intense, you know?"

She nodded. "It's not like I have much else to do if I stay home."
