sounds of nature

"Xiang Suizi..." She thought for a while, and then said, "How about I go out with you to look for it?"

"Huh...?" Hino Kahoko suddenly raised her head to look at Jiufold Heyin.

Yue Senlian who heard their conversation was also slightly surprised, he frowned and said to He Yin: "What time is it and you—"

"Anyway, I'm the last one to play!" Jiuzhong Heyin said nonchalantly.

"No!" Yue Senlian vetoed, seeing Heyin's staring eyes, he lowered his head and let out a sigh of frustration, "Okay, I'll go with her!"

Oh yo, are you starting to attack girls? !Ninefold Harmony was shocked, and a flash of clarity that no one could understand flashed in her eyes. She covered her mouth and smiled with a face of "I understand it all", "Hehehe, I understand! Alian, then please!"

What do you know? !Yue Senlian gave her a displeased look, turned her head and took the lead in opening the door leading to the backstage exit and went out.

Eh, eh?Hino Kahoko looked around, as if she was a little surprised at the fact that Yue Morian, the Bingshan brother who had always been sarcastic to her, offered to help her, and she was a little silly.

"Okay, girl, go!" He Yin patted her on the back, "Hurry up!"

After seeing off Miss Xiangsui, Ninefold Harmony came back to watch the performance again.Tiangong Qinglai said flatly: "Sister, you are still so hard-spoken and soft-hearted."

You are so soft-hearted, it sounds like you know everything!Ninefold Heyin rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, she folded her hands and raised her head and said: "This is the greatness of being a big sister! You always have to worry about you brats, and in the end you have the opportunity to chase girls, so you have to leave the stage willingly... Ouch, hello I was all moved by myself!"

Ninefold Harmony, caught in some kind of weird self-sacrifice plot, didn't notice the whispered assurance from the boy next to him after his words——

"I won't do that!"

Immediately afterwards, Huoyuan and Shu came on stage, playing Wagner's "March under the Flag of the Double Eagle".As a result, this guy was too emotional during the performance, and after the end, Mr. Kanazawa pinched his neck for a while and taught him a lesson.

Then the next one is Donghai Shengzi, playing the repertoire, Reg's "Romantic in G Major".Meizi Donghai played the clarinet well, but because of her introverted and shy personality, she seemed very nervous on the court.

Ninefold Harmony let out a breath, and was noticed by Tiangong Qinglai beside him, he smiled and said, "Sister, shouldn't you be nervous?!"

"How is it possible?!" She denied, never admitting that it was the contestants who came on stage before her that inspired her eagerness to challenge.Well, what should I do, I'm a little excited... (No problem, you. ==)

Yuki Azuma's "Morning" is extremely elegant and fresh, and it also received high praise from the judges.

The nine-fold chord moaned and said: "Of Grieg's Peer Gynt suite, labor and management love "Solveig's Song" most, and it is a violin and piano ensemble version! "Morning" ① or something... ..."

You are like a child who refuses to admit defeat and belittles his opponent against his will... It's so childish!Tiangong Qinglai sighed helplessly.

When Azuma Yuzuki finished the song and drunk a large number of female students in the audience, the out of breath Kahoko Hino and Ren Tsukimori, and Kazuki Hibara who went to find them after the performance finally came back together!

When Kahoko explained to Hiroto Kanazawa that she did not have an accompaniment, Mr. Kanazawa scratched his head irritably. "How come...you, who can accompany her?" He turned to all the accompanists present and asked.

The few music students who were in charge of the accompaniment all lowered their heads in embarrassment. It wasn't that they were unwilling to help, but that accompaniment wasn't something that could be done just by saying it.It also depends on the repertoire chosen by the other party and the proficiency of the cooperation. In short, it is definitely unreliable to improvise!

Just when everyone was worried about Xiang Suizi, Jiuzhong Heyin raised his arm and poked Tiangong Qinglai, saying, "Little piano prince, you can definitely help?!"

Eh?Everyone turned their attention to it.

Tiangong Qinglai was embarrassed, "Sister..."

"The piece Xiang Suizi chose... seems to be Brother Chopin's "Farewell Song"! Why, young man, don't tell me that you haven't played it!"

"It's been played...it's the degree of coordination—" Tiangong Qinglai looked at Hino Kahoko, "Hino-san?"

At this moment, Xiang Suizi made a move that surprised everyone.She kicked off the pair of high-heeled shoes with worn-out heels, and picked up her violin barefoot, "No, that's it..."

As she spoke, she ignored Kanazawa-sensei's call and stepped onto the stage resolutely.The announcer's voice sounded immediately - "The fifth player, Class 2, Year 2, General Department, Kahoko Hino."

"Performance, composed by Chopin, "Farewell."

In the auditorium, the people who were agitated because the next performer didn't show up were silent for a moment.But in the next second, more discussions flooded in like a tide.

"What's going on? Not only is there no accompaniment, but also barefoot..."

"Using the violin to play Chopin's music, the students of the general class are really messing around..."

Ah, sure enough, the main character girl is used to create various topics and focus... From Kahoko's solo performance, to being stopped by the judges for not complying with the rules of the competition, to the moment when Tsuchiura brother jumped on the stage to help out, the whole process can be described as Climax | Tide after wave, wave after wave, touching and tight!

"It's really wonderful..." Jiuhe Yin, who had calmed down strangely since Xiang Suizi walked onto the stage alone, commented lightly.But I don't know whether her "wonderful" refers to the other party's performance or this series of changes.

Tiangong Qinglai looked at her expressionless side face and smiled silently.He knew that this was a sign that someone was getting serious.

When Hino Kahoko returned from the song and sat on the ground with limp legs, Tsukimori Ren in a black tuxedo walked up to the other party with the violin in her hand, "Sorry, can you let me go?"

Wow, there is a murderous look in the young master's eyes!Jiuzhong Heyin didn't change his face, but secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that she is not the only one whose fighting spirit has been ignited!

While Miss Hino hurriedly apologized and got up and stood aside, Master Yuesen passed by a group of people without turning his eyes. He only turned his head and whispered a word when Jiuzhong Heyin said faintly, "Come on, Alian".

The others didn't hear it, but Hino Kahoko and Tsuchiura Ryotaro, who were closest to him at the time, caught that sentence.

"I am waiting for you!"

……

"The sixth performer, Class A of the 2nd year of the music department, Tsukimori Ren. Repertoire, composed by Wieniawski, "Poona Dance No. [-] in D Major"."

The shock left over from the previous performance made the auditorium still uneasy. On the backstage side, Azuma Yuzuki and Kazuki Hihara also said respectively: "The auditorium is still noisy."

"...This may affect the performance!"

Wearing stilettos and high heels, Ninefold Harmony Station was leaning against the wall on one side as if tired, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at Yuesenlian who bowed to the audience with a serious face on the stage.

Now, A-Lian, let's amaze them—use your most proud piano skills, for which you have also devoted countless efforts.

Sure enough... When the bow rubbed against the strings and made the first sound, several short and high-pitched notes came out smoothly.At the same time, the melodious playing of the piano accompaniment blended in, bringing everyone back to their senses, and involuntarily focused their eyes and attention on the handsome boy with short blue hair on the stage.

Just like the evaluation given by the judges, this song by Yue Senlian, with its powerful performance and gorgeous and exquisite piano skills, has the meaning of pioneering the way forward, and it also fits the theme of "opening up".

When he dropped the last note, the audience was silent for a few seconds, and then there was a burst of applause and applause as if waking up from a dream...

Yue Senlian, who returned with such a high evaluation, did not have any arrogance.He looked lightly at Ninefold Harmony who had already straightened up, and said without emotion: "It's your turn." He was looking forward to her first performance on stage...

Everyone else looked at Ninefold Harmony in unison.After a perfect performance that has already conquered the audience and even the judges, as the last performer immediately after, the psychological pressure is not insignificant!Ninefold chord, what measures will you take to deal with it?

On the other side of the backstage lounge, the girl in white skirt who had finished tuning the harp for the last time tightened her delicate and small chin, and gestured to the staff who came to help lift the harp onto the stage. He lifted the harp that stood taller than a person and walked out.

Following the announcement sounded by the announcer, a harp placed in the middle of the stage first caught the audience's eyes. After the staff put down the chairs needed by the performers, they left the stage.

There was an uproar off the field.

I originally thought that the nine-fold chord that I participated in as a general science student was at most just a few years of casual learning, such as a piano and violin, which are widely used!Who would have thought that looking at the opponent's posture at this moment, he really looked like an expert...

Not that harps are so rare.It is true that there are quite a lot of harp players distributed all over the world, but most of them exist as orchestra accompaniment.After all, it is relatively rare to perform it in public as a solo instrument.

And the Harmony girl didn't care what other people thought. Before going on stage, Tiangong Qinglai gave her a hug, which was the silent habit of the siblings.In the past, when Tiangong Qinglai participated in competitions or performances, when Jiufold Heyin was present, he would give him an encouraging hug.today too...

At this moment, the flaxen-haired girl in the white slanted-shouldered dress turned to the audience expressionlessly as she passed by the leaving staff.Behind her, the boy with red hair and black eyes was already sitting in front of the piano.

"The last person to appear, class 2, 2nd year of general subjects, ninefold chord."

"Repertoire, composed by Gerardo Matos Rodriguez, "La Cumparsita"..."
