[Fruit Basket] Her Royal Highness the Rabbit Princess

After that conversation in the haunted house, Hongye, as he himself said, began to understand everything about Suzuha with his heart, and then he found that apart from appearance, habit of using honorifics, serious and gentle personality, and liking to eat strawberries, Suzuha and Xiao Tou does not have any resemblance.

Xiaotou has no motor nerves at all, but Suzuha likes sports very much, and is even good at new-style gymnastics.

Toru is good at housework and cooking, but Suzuha has nothing to do with it. At most, she can only do embroidery, make some chocolates or small biscuits.

Xiaotou knows nothing about music and art, but Suzuha is very proficient, not only good at piano, violin and other musical instruments, but also has a very high appreciation ability for art.

Xiao Tou's temper is too good. Even if someone provokes her face to face, she will still smile. Although Suzuha has a good personality, she will not accept other people's troubles, but will express her displeasure directly.

In addition to eating strawberry mousse, Suzuha also likes all kinds of thick soups.

Suzuha doesn't like Western horror films and thrillers full of bloody and violent elements, but she is not afraid of Japanese ghosts, but is very interested in them.

Suzuha likes picture books very much, and the author she likes recently is herself, the white rabbit of Inaba...

Knowing that in the end, he has completely got rid of the habit of comparing Suzuha and Xiaotou in his heart, and completely focused on Suzuha, and the more he knows Suzuha, Hongye finds that he likes her more One thing, it's like now that he is participating in the practice of the county symphony orchestra, he still thinks of her unconsciously.

It seems that Suzuha hasn't been invited to watch the orchestra's performance yet. It's rare that next month's performance will be the lead, so let's take this opportunity to invite her and Xiaotao to come and have a look...

While tuning the violin, he was thinking this way, until he heard the conductor and person in charge of the orchestra shouting for attention, he came back to his senses, and followed the other members to look at the podium at the front of the stage.

What is different from the usual is that after saying a long greeting and words of encouragement to the members, the person in charge did not let everyone start their own practice, but told them that he could not participate in this performance due to some personal matters, but he He has already invited his old acquaintance, that is, the internationally renowned Austrian conductor Walter Feimann, to come over to serve as the conductor this time.

When the person in charge asked Feiman to come out, Hongye applauded along with the other troupe members, but in the middle of clapping, he stopped because he saw the girl next to Feiman, full of dissatisfaction Unable to understand, he couldn't help muttering the other party's name: "Suzuha?"

In a few seconds, his confusion was answered, and the person in charge introduced to everyone with a smile: "This is Himekawa-san, Himekawa-san was a student of the Austrian Academy of Music before, and also a student of Walter, majoring in piano."

"Nice meeting," Suzuha smiled and bowed to everyone, "I'm Himekawa Suzuha, please give me your advice."

"Because one of the repertoire we performed this time is Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto, and currently there is no piano major in our troupe, so at the recommendation of Walter, we specially invite Himekawa-san Responsible for the performance of the piano part, and by the way, the interpreter between Walter and you.” The person in charge continued, “Himekawa-san has cooperated with many internationally renowned symphony orchestras in Europe, and has also performed at music festivals in many European countries. I have performed, I believe she will be able to cooperate well with you.”

After saying some polite words, the person in charge handed over the full authority of the orchestra to Feiman, and Feiman didn't say much. After asking Suzuha to translate for him the rules that members should abide by during practice, he let Everyone started to practice the first track of the public performance.

Since this was the first time I skipped the individual exercises and went directly to the rehearsal, the overall performance was not satisfactory, so after a movement ended, Fayman couldn't bear to stop playing, and severely pointed out the shortcomings of each part and what should be strengthened The place.In contrast, because it was the first time to be the principal violinist, and because she had a sweetheart present, Hongye, who played at a higher level than usual, stood out and became the only one who was not scolded.

After letting the orchestra practice a few more times and realizing that the members are getting familiar with his rehearsal methods, Fayman announced a break and let the members move freely.

After seeing Suzuha and Fayman whispering a few words, they sat down on a chair beside them to rest, Momiji followed her with her violin, "Suzuha."

"Hongye-kun." Suzuha smiled and nodded at him who was sitting next to her, "The performance just now was excellent."

"I thought Suzuha didn't notice me, because your expression hasn't changed since you came in, or Suzuha knew I was here before coming here, and wanted to surprise me on purpose?"

From his words, it can be heard that he has been paying attention to himself, and Suzuha couldn't help blushing while feeling sweet, "No, when I promised to help, I only heard the teacher said that this is a band organized by one of his friends, I don't know This is the band that Momiji-kun belongs to. Actually, I was also surprised when I saw Momiji-kun just now, maybe you didn’t realize it because you were too focused on playing..."

"By the way," Hongye just smiled and changed the subject when she heard her say that, "Do you want Suzuha to drink? You must be thirsty after helping Mr. Feiman translate so many words just now?"

Suzuha shook her head, and took out the thermos from her bag, "No need, Ms. Narimiya prepared black tea for me, Hongye-kun, would you like some?"

"OK."

After taking a paper cup from the tea room and taking a sip of the tea that Suzuha poured for herself, Momiji said again: "I've never heard Suzuha mention it before, so it turns out that Suzuha is a student of Mrs. I've done so many shows..."

Suzuha bowed to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I haven't had the opportunity to mention it to Hongye-kun. In the future... I will slowly tell Hongye-kun about the past in Austria..."

"Okay." Seeing her slightly flushed cheeks, Momiji couldn't help but put her hand on her lap, "But it's really great, to be able to participate in such a formal performance with Suzuha."

Before Suzuha could say anything, Fayman, who was resting in another place, came over suddenly and said in German, "Sara, do you know this chief violinist?"

"Yes," Suzuha quickly pulled out the hand held by Momiji and stood up, then said nervously, "His name is Soma Momiji, he is my friend..."

Hearing that she just introduced herself like this, Momiji couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and then stood up, and said to Faiman with a smile, "Hi, I'm Momoba Kusama, and I'm dating Suzuha right now."

"Hello," Feiman first glanced at Suzuha, whose face was already blushing, with a teasing look, and then began to look at Hongye carefully, "I heard that you speak German well, are you a German?"

"My mother is German, half-Japanese-German." After finishing speaking, Hongye suddenly realized something was wrong. After all, Suzuha also knew his mother and sister, and knew how similar the three of them looked, and now he He also said that his mother was German, he wondered if Suzuha would guess something because of this.

He carefully observed Suzuha's expression, trying to see what she was thinking, but she still kept blushing and lowered her head, without any expression of surprise or doubt.

"By the way, you play the violin pretty well. Do you want to play a violin sonata with Suzuha as an encore at the end of the performance?" Feiman said, looking at his lover with interest His face became more and more red, "Anyway, you and Sara are boyfriend and girlfriend, so you should have a lot of time to practice together in private, right?"

Regarding his proposal, Momiji really wanted to agree immediately, but followed him and looked at Suzuha, "I am very willing, but I am not sure whether Suzuha wants to play with me."

Hearing that there was a bit of grievance in his voice, Suzuha hurriedly explained: "If possible, I also want to play with Hongye-kun, but teacher, can you just decide like this?"

"What's the matter, I'll talk to Shunsuke right away, he will definitely agree to me!" After saying this, Feiman left immediately, leaving only Momiji and Suzuha behind.

Since she was used to her teacher's personality of saying that wind is rain, Suzuha could only smile awkwardly at Hongye, "Ah, by the way, I forgot to mention it just now, I mentioned to Xiaotao before that I would help the county Xiaotao also promised that she would come to see the performance of the band, and she would be very happy if she saw Hongye-kun was there.”

Thinking that her long-standing wish was about to come true, Hongye felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, but for some reason, this feeling seemed to be unable to forget the dissatisfaction that arose just now.

Under Suzuha's gaze, he took her hand and said in a casual tone: "To Suzuha, am I still just a friend now? I thought Suzuha had already agreed to date me when we were in the haunted house last time." Yes, as lovers."

Hearing his question, Suzuha, who had already faded most of the blush on her face, felt her face start to heat up again. After a while, she stammered, "I'm sorry...it's just hard to say Momiji-kun is...my man...boyfriend..."

It was the first time he heard her admit and say that he was her boyfriend, Hongye felt an indescribable feeling overflowing in his heart, he wanted to reach out and hold her in his arms, tight, tight...

It's just that there are other members around, and Suzuha has only held hands with himself at most, so in the end he gave up that idea, took her hand instead, and gently pressed a kiss on it.

Feeling that her hand was so stiff, he put her hand down, and then smiled under her astonished gaze and said, "The rest time is almost over, let's go back quickly, Meine Prinzessin."
