So Many Geniuses in Omni-Anime! What's One More?

He wasn't enough of a demon to start drilling them the moment the first half ended without giving them a break.

They deserved ten minutes between sessions, at least.

A little over ten minutes later, he officially began teaching.

After making the rounds of the Clarinet, Trumpet, and Saxophone sections, he came to the Flute and Piccolo section.

"Why are you here?" He gave a certain round-cheeked, adorably vacant girl an odd look, then couldn't resist pinching her cheek.

When she turned her head away in distaste, he flicked the reed held between her lips instead.

Hmm. Nice and springy.

"..."

"You're asking what it has to do with me? As your temporary 'teacher,' it's only natural for me to check on you, right?"

"..."

"You're saying I should mind my own business? How dare you! As punishment, you're not allowed to come over here and disturb their practice anymore!"

Kasamaki Nozomi, standing nearby, couldn't take it anymore. She raised a hand and interrupted him with a wry smile. "Um, Himemiya, I don't think Mizore meant that..."

"I know. I'm just teasing her."
