Chapter 576

The music teachers who followed from other schools, upon hearing this performance, couldn't help but frown tightly.

They could feel that the overall strength of Private Moonlight seemed to have improved a lot compared to what they had heard in the past.

Especially the concertmaster of the violin, Tsukishima Rin.

She alone seemed to be able to lead and control the rhythm and emotional ups and downs of the entire orchestra.

The strength was so strong that it was admirable!

Natsume Chikage offstage no longer chatted with Izumi Nanami beside him at this moment.

He listened to the performance on stage quietly, and even took out his phone, adjusted the angle, and began to film the segments of Tsukishima Rin and others performing.

Planning to send it to Fujiwara Aoi and others who had said they wanted to see it later.

Izumi Nanami was quite sensible and didn't find topics to chat about at this time.

She was also listening attentively, her expression focused.

Regarding Tsukishima Rin as her greatest rival, when hearing that the other party's violin skills seemed to be constantly improving, no matter how much displeasure she had in her heart, it was hard not to admit—Tsukishima Rin's strength indeed firmly pressed her by a head.

And in another part of the auditorium.

Natsume Ruri looked at Tsukishima Rin on the stage who seemed to control the atmosphere of the entire theater with music, and couldn't help but show obvious surprise on her face.

She didn't expect that Tsukishima-sister was really as outstanding as the Fujiwara-sisters said in the field of music.

After all, Natsume Ruri herself had also learned some music, but her talent was mediocre and her level was ordinary.

But she still possessed basic appreciation ability and could tell the high and low of the performer's level.

And the most outstanding and eye-catching one on stage now was undoubtedly Tsukishima-sister.

Even Kondo-sister, who had practiced hard since she was a child, was eclipsed by comparison.

No wonder everyone called Tsukishima-sister a genius violinist.

But… brother actually chose to reject such an excellent Tsukishima-sister?

Thinking of this, Natsume Ruri's corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

It seems that the person brother likes the most… the answer is already self-evident.

Kaga Reisa looked at Tsukishima Rin shining on the stage, and her small face was also full of longing:

"Is this the Tsukishima-sister mentioned by the Fujiwara-sisters? Really so amazing…"

Ando Chizuru beside her blinked, leaning over curiously:

"Fujiwara-sister?"

"What what? Tell me quickly!"

Kaga Reisa heard this, hurriedly leaned into Ando Chizuru's ear, covered her mouth with her hand, and shyly and whispered the matter of the senior from the same school visiting Natsume-brother's house before.

Ando Chizuru finished listening, and immediately widened her eyes.

What?

Actually, a girl from the same school had already been to Natsume-brother's house?

No matter how you look at it, this is plotting against Natsume-brother!

However… that's right.

Natsume-brother is so handsome and talented, it is normal for beautiful sisters to like him.

Ando Chizuru lowered her head subconsciously and looked at her own figure curve that was still barren.

Then, she secretly glanced at Kaga Reisa beside her whose figure had begun to reveal the charm of a young girl.

Couldn't help but sigh gently, secretly envying in her heart: if her figure could be swapped with Reisa-chan's, it would be great.

In that case… her confidence in capturing Natsume-brother might be a bit more sufficient.

Soon.

The performance on stage ended perfectly in the last long tail note.

In the auditorium, louder and more lasting applause than any previous time broke out, mixed with a few irrepressible cheers.

Tsukishima Rin and other members of the Orchestra Club also stood up politely, facing the audience, smiling and bowing or waving to greet.

And Tsukishima Rin, besides waving in the direction of Natsume Chikage offstage, also specifically turned to the position where Natsume Ruri was and waved gently at her.

Natsume Ruri also raised her hand politely to respond.

Looking at this excellent performance, Natsume Ruri silently updated the score for Tsukishima Rin in the small notebook in her heart.

【Tsukishima Rin】: A very amazing, very beautiful, and very temperamental sister. Feeling that if she stands beside brother, she will be the kind of girl who can hold the scene and is very excellent. +1 point.

As for Izumi Nanami, seeing that Tsukishima Rin and other students from Private Moonlight were about to come down from the stage.

She also sensibly prepared to stand up and leave.

She revealed a perfect ladylike smile to Natsume Chikage and said goodbye:

"Then, Xia Xia Xia Mujun, I will go back to my school's area first."

Natsume Chikage nodded.

"Mm, goodbye."

Izumi Nanami stood up slowly and walked away with deliberate, elegant steps.

She originally wanted to ask for LINE contact information right now.

But on second thought, she felt that it was too urgent to be so direct for the first meeting, and it might not be good.

After all, this was the first formal conversation, and she hadn't thought of an excuse that was natural enough without being abrupt.

If she was rejected on the spot, that would be too embarrassing.

Better wait for next time.

Next time, after her violin solo competition ended, invite Natsume Chikage, together with her brother and Natsume Ruri, to go shopping and eat, using the excuse of thanking the audience and celebrating the success of the performance.

Presumably, Natsume Chikage, looking at the face of his sister and her brother's classmate, shouldn't refuse.

At that time, finding an opportunity to naturally exchange contact information would be a matter of course.

However, on her way away.

Tsukishima Rin, who had just finished the performance and was speeding up her pace to return to her seat from the backstage passage, met Izumi Nanami, who was preparing to return to her school area, at the corner of the aisle.

Enemies meet, eyes are red.

The moment the two people's gazes met in the air, it seemed to burst out with invisible, crackling sparks.

Izumi Nanami knew that the theater was not a place to talk.

She raised her chin slightly, shook the long hair on her shoulders, and with that habitual, slightly provocative smile on her face, lowered her voice and said:

"If you don't mind, shall we go out and talk?"

Tsukishima Rin pursed her lips tightly, her eyes sharp.

"Go!"

Soon.

The two walked one after another to a relatively quiet corridor outside the theater.

At this time, there were no idlers outside.

Izumi Nanami crossed her arms, leaned against the cold wall, and went straight to the point, smiling:

"Tsukishima-san, I know you like Xia Xia Xia Mujun."

"However, it seems very regrettable… I heard from others that you seem to have been clearly rejected by Xia Xia Xia Mujun, right?"

"This… can already be considered a 'loser'."

"Lo… loser?!" Tsukishima Rin was hit by a bolt from the blue, her delicate body shaking slightly.

She gritted her teeth, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Not a loser!"

"Xia Xia Xia Mujun just doesn't want to fall in love for the time being, so he rejected me! That's just temporary!"

Izumi Nanami let out a meaningful laugh, her tone carrying teasing.

"Hey… even so, you were indeed rejected, aren't you? This is an unchangeable fact."

Tsukishima Rin glared at her somewhat angrily.

"What exactly do you want to express?"

Izumi Nanami put down her crossed arms, stood up straight, her smile remained unchanged, but carried a meaning of declaring war, and said clearly:

"I just want to say, what a coincidence, I also fell in love with Xia Xia Xia Mujun."

"Since you have already 'been rejected', then I think, if you are sensible, you should take the initiative to withdraw."

"After all, continuing to pester a boy who has already rejected you is very ugly."

Tsukishima Rin straightened her back, her expression incomparably serious, even carrying a stubbornness.
