About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple - Chapter 188 How about calling me mom? (Cultural Festival 8)

In early November, ginkgo trees were blooming in the music department classroom.

Sakakihara climbed up the keys with both hands, pressed the chords with his left hand obligingly, and quickly jumped on the piano with his right hand to produce a relatively beautiful sound.

“Stop, can you please be a little more careful?”

Tianhai Qimingyue’s doubts flew over coldly.

“This piece is your personal solo. If you don’t play it well, you will lose not only the face of the school music department, but also your own face.”

Sakakihara Raku was already used to hearing such criticism.

But even though Xiao Qiyue criticized himself so harshly, he didn’t know where he was not playing carefully.

He was a little distracted.

“What went wrong just now?”

Tianhai Qimingyue’s tone softened a bit: “Be careful. The thumb you played at the fast speed just now can be caught by the white keys. Wasn’t it still good when you reviewed it yesterday? The simplified score I gave you is definitely enough for you to play. “

Piano is not something you can learn in a day.

This is Raku Sakakihara’s most profound experience after learning the piano.

Nowadays, Sakakihara Raku’s piano level is somewhat difficult to estimate.

He can play everything below level 8, and he can play some music above level 10, but he can’t play some music above level 9.

“For Alice” and “Dream Wedding”. Such songs that are familiar to ordinary people and are extremely beautiful are only piano level 4 or 5.

“I was a little uneasy just now.” Sakakibara said as his fingers slid across the keys.

“I just want to remind you that you have to perform on stage in one hour.”

“Yeah, I know. But when I was playing just now, I suddenly remembered that my aunt is coming over this afternoon.”

“Mom is coming?” Tianhai Qimingyue was confused.

“You don’t know Nanamigyue?” Sakakihara turned his body.

Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head: “I don’t know, but she came for that purpose.”

“It seems you have guessed it,” Sakakihara looked at her reflection in the piano’s paint, “I can see that Jiu Liuli wants to get out of her aunt’s influence, but she doesn’t seem to know what she should do.”

Tianhai Qimingyue found it very interesting, crossed her hands and said, “So, are you planning to ask me?”

“I didn’t have to say that. You were asking me why I was distracted.”

“You said it so carefully. I believe that there is definitely a desire to seek my opinion in it.”

Sakakihara was a little embarrassed that he had been exposed. He tried his best to pretend to be normal: “I definitely never thought about it this way, but if you bring it up, if you have any suggestions, of course I am willing to listen. After all, you are twin sisters. You know Jiuliuli better than I do.”

Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head: “It’s a pity that my sister and I can’t deal with it now, and we will never give any advice here.”

“Absolutely not?”

“have opinions?”

“Actually, I feel that Qi Mingyue’s ‘absolute’ statement is a bit unreliable.”

“Ha,” Tianhai Qimingyue sneered, “Are you trying to say that I don’t keep my integrity?”

“Yesterday you said you would never wear a maid uniform. Today -“

Tianhai Qimingyue lowered her head and closed her eyes, and her voice became colder: “I don’t want to say the same thing a third time.”

Same thing?

Sakakibara quickly searched for memories about Nanamiyue in his mind.

Finally, the time was fixed at Shura Field after lunch.

[I hate it, but I can’t help someone liking it]

[Didn’t I say that before? If you like the maid outfit, I will wear it for you, just this once. ]

It seems that this is what Qi Mingyue is referring to.

If I remember correctly, Qi Mingyue said something similar to “only you are special” in the infirmary before.

This seems to be the meaning, Sakakihara Raku can’t remember clearly.

Am I the only one special?

Qi Mingyue, you need me very much?

Sakakibara couldn’t remember what happened when he was a child, so he couldn’t quite understand Qi Mingyue’s feelings for him.

On the contrary, he knew Jiuliuli’s feelings for him very well.

She will only show another side of herself in front of herself, and will only experience the comfort of peace of mind in her arms. Therefore, when Jiuli expresses a similar meaning to herself as “only you are special”, Sakakibara will understand it better.

But no matter how you say it, Nanamigyue’s words still make Sakakihara Raku feel a little guilty.

To be more comprehensive, her love makes Sakakibara feel ashamed.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

“Brother should have his own judgment in his heart, why bother asking me?” Tianhai Qi Mingyue took the book and sat back down, her back straight while wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

“How should I put it? I’m just a little unsure. I want to help Jiu Liuli find some hobbies that are truly her own, but I feel like piano and kyudo are not very important things to Jiu Liuli.”

“What is this ‘important’ standard?” Tianhai Qimingyue asked.

“Just like reading a book means to you Nanamigetsu,” Sakakihara Raku explained, “I think the meaning that books give you is much stronger than the meaning that piano and kyudo give to Kururi.”

Hearing this, Amami Nanamigetsu looked towards him, her eyes always reflecting Sakakibara Raku’s thinking look.

“Qi Mingyue?”

“.”

Nanamigyue didn’t say anything more, and obviously had no intention of continuing the discussion. Sakakibara Raku also knew it and stopped talking about it.

However, he was curious about something.

He asked again:

“Why isn’t Qi Mingyue like Jiu Liuli?”

“Same as what?”

“That’s right, so she needs and relies on her aunt’s support. You see, for Jiuliuli, her aunt was her goal and motivation when she was a child. She wants to get her mother’s approval and response, which is also the meaning of her progress. “

“.”

“.”

?

The sudden silence of Nanami Nanami also caused Raku Sakakihara to become silent as well.

After a moment, he asked Tianhai Qimingyue, who had been staring at him with a little doubt:

“Why did you stop talking all of a sudden?”

The girl turned her delicate side face and replied: “Nothing.”

Sakakibara felt a little weird, but he couldn’t tell what was weird.

He only thinks that Qi Mingyue’s profile is particularly beautiful, so that the flying cherry blossoms in spring are eclipsed by it.

At this time, the head of the music department, Sachiko, and the monitor, Ai Minakami, knocked on the door of the practice room and informed Raku Sakakihara to rehearse the song for the last time with everyone.

“Sakakibara-kun, come here.”

“no problem.”

Tianhai Qimingyue took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

There is nothing difficult about rehearsing, after all, we have practiced many times.

After spending half an hour on the final rehearsal, Sakakibara followed everyone with large and small instruments to the separate performance theater set up by Meitoku Junior High School.

Floating clouds blocked the sun, and a hand-painted performance catalog was erected under the zelkova tree outside the theater. Standing not far away, Sakakihara saw that the Music Department’s symphony was scheduled for two-thirty in the afternoon.

Then, he followed everyone through the “employee passage” and entered the backstage.

Performing at a cultural festival is not a big deal or a small thing.

Nervousness is inevitable, but Raku Sakakihara has experience participating in large-scale competitions, so he doesn’t show any nervousness.

Water Love is different, she serves as a violinist in the music club.

As a girl and in the first grade, love on the water, which is not bold in itself, started to get tense behind the scenes.

Raku Sakakihara was standing behind the monitor. He saw her nervous look and said to her by the way:

“come on.”

“ah”

Ahead, Mizunai’s shoulders trembled, as if she was frightened.

“Thank you, thank you.”

Her reply was weak, but she still turned around, smiled and said thank you to Sakakibara Raku.

He wondered if his voice had frightened her.

Raku Sakakihara smiled in response.

The stage staff began to notify everyone to prepare, and Minister Sachiko immediately directed everyone to take their assigned positions.

Raku Sakakihara also walked towards the shiny upright piano stand.

During this period, Sakakibara Raku also discovered that Nanami Nanami was standing behind the scenes watching him.

Regardless of why she came here after saying goodbye, the important thing is that she gave herself a gentle mouth gesture.

[scumbag]

After that, she turned around and left the backstage.

Raku Sakakibara was left confused.

?

What?

Does it make you a scumbag to say “Come on” to the squad leader?

Enter the venue and sit on the piano bench in front of the audience.

Then before the music officially started, during the preparation time, Sakakihara glanced at the audience.

I don’t know if it was because the siblings were united or something, but Sakakibara Raku saw Sakakibara Suzu at a glance.

If it were outside, in a private setting, A Ling would definitely say hello to herself.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was also in the audience.

Tianhai Qimingyue stood on the outermost side of the auditorium, looking towards the stage from a place without any lights.

What are you doing standing over there?

Doubts emanated from Sakakibara’s heart.

Among the members of the music department symphony orchestra, some are nervous, some are dull, some are timid, and some are confident and calm.

In short, under the command of the instructor, the music started.

Sakakihara Raku didn’t have time to look for the shadows of Tenkai Kuruuri and Tenkai Nanamigetsu, so the teacher’s classic four-beat command gesture was directed at him.

Like driving a duck to the shelf, Sakakihara’s fingers climbed onto the keys, and music began to flow at his fingertips.

The bone-colored keys are so bright that they seem to reflect the audience’s gaze.

Sakakihara Raku was a little nervous.

Fortunately, the music at the beginning was relatively soothing, like the leisure time of the pasture farm, and Sakakibara did not go wrong.

The music also became richer because of his beginnings, with string instruments, brass instruments, and woodwind instruments added one after another.

The rhythm began to become faster, and began to rise and fall like a raging river. Even the teacher’s hand shaking rapidly seemed to have taken stimulants.

The stimulation of music makes Sakakibara’s increasingly practiced touch more exciting. Although the piano is only a part of the chords, his hands unconsciously want to play according to memory and perform with all his strength according to what he has given.

Not wanting to be left behind by the other instruments, or by the students in the music department, the sound of the piano mixed in with the symphony seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat, competing with the other instruments.

Fighting yet harmonious, passionate yet peaceful.

Amami Nanamizuki watched indifferently from the side of the stage, her eyes locked on Sakakibara Raku’s hands, following his rhythm, silently reciting the four beats he was going to play next.

“It’s okay, the chain didn’t fall off.”

Sakakihara Raku’s eyes were locked on his hands and the score. He had only reached this point in playing, but his hands were already starting to get tired. He played with difficulty, and couldn’t help but think of Jiuliuli’s piano recital that he had watched before.

The talent of closing your eyes and letting your whole body and mind enter the music is so out of reach, like a dream.

The overall rhythm of the music became more and more exciting, and Sakakibara’s vest became sweaty as he followed everyone’s rhythm.

Sakakihara Raku felt bitter. Sure enough, this stage was completely different from practice.

The rhythm picked up involuntarily.

Fast, extremely fast, the entire symphony burst out as it officially entered the fourth stage. Sakakibara felt that his body and mind were scattered to pieces by the stimulating music, leaving only his hands with few thoughts. , still struggling on the keys, like struggling upwards in the abyss of the sea, with water drowning in his throat and nose, but still trying to find the out-of-reach light.

He quickly found it – Tianhai Qimingyue stood looking at him in the secluded position before. She stood at the outermost side of the auditorium, alone, in the place where there was no light and the figure should be swallowed up.

As if she was teaching him normally, the girl only gave him an upward look.

Sakakibara laughed.

Because she is saying it.

[good. ]

Is this considered a compliment?

Such a cold attitude and such arrogant eyes can be regarded as encouragement?

Raku Sakakibara laughed again. For a month, the technical experience he had practiced almost every day until seven or eight o’clock in the evening was ready to come out on the keys. The scene of Nanami Nanimeizuki holding his forehead and shaking his head again and again, and playing with his own hands followed closely.

Get better.

He became calmer.

As Sakakihara’s last quiet piano solo ended, the intense performance came to a perfect end. Hundreds of students in the venue booed and danced, clapping and cheering. Visitors and parents from outside also smiled at the people on the stage. Everyone applauded.

Raku Sakakihara stood up along with everyone in the music club and thanked the audience.

At the same time, he also discovered Tianhai Jiuliuli standing in the center of the auditorium looking at him.

“Suzuki-chan, is your brother that good at playing the piano?”

“Uh-huh.”

Sakakihara Suzu reluctantly responded, and the smile on her face was particularly stiff at this time.

My brother has actually practiced the piano to this point. How many times does this guy have to interact with those two foxes?

We have to practice piano together every afternoon, right?

Sakakibara Suzu suddenly felt a little sad, because she felt that there was a trace of fox smell left on Sakakibara Le’s body.

“Not bad, right?” After saying goodbye to everyone in the music club, Sakakibara saw Nanami Nanamizuki, who had been standing alone in the corner, and walked over to talk to her.

“General.” Tianhai Qimingyue’s attitude was cold.

“That’s not what you said just now.”

“When did I say you were great?”

“Just now, I was playing the fourth stage.”

“I’m afraid you’re not suffering from delusion, I’m just looking to see if you’re good at playing.” Tianhai Qi Mingyue crossed her chest with one hand, and brushed the long hair beside her ear with the other hand, with her fingers behind her ears, her attitude cold. It also turned into a helpless attitude.

“That must be pretty awesome.”

“generally.”

“The instructor just praised me behind the scenes.” Sakakihara Raku has a backer.

“The instructor is just an amateur.” Tianhai Qi Mingyue even looked up disdainfully, “Brother, don’t you think you are like a child who hurriedly asked for praise from his mother after scoring 100 points in the exam?”

Sakakibara was stunned.

You, Qi Mingyue, mother?

Is there any connection between Qi Mingyue and the word mother?

“Isn’t it?” Tianhai Qimingyue asked, and raised her eyes condescendingly, “But if you want to call me mom, you can just call me mom, and I can try to praise you reluctantly.”

It’s such a mess, it’s going to turn upside down!

“Can.”

“Then shout.”

“I’ll shout again at the dinner table tomorrow when my uncle is around. Just like this, ahem, Nanami Mingyue’s mother, please, your breakfast, fried rice with potato chips.” Raku Sakakibara stood up straight, loosened his tie, and took it with him The respectful tone imitated the scene at that time.

Tianhai Qimingyue responded gracefully without hesitation: “Then I will thank my precious son in advance. Do you need a head pat as a reward?”

“.You really dare to agree?”

Tianhai Qimingyue gave a rare smile: “As long as you dare to shout, I will naturally dare to answer.”

Sakakibara tried to think about the image of himself calling “Mom” to Nanami Mingzuki at the family dinner table tomorrow morning.

Forget it, forget it.

Even if it’s just teasing each other.

But uncle and mother, Jiu Liuli and A Ling, why shouldn’t they target themselves?
