Chapter 356

Taking Kaori for a short running, Ryuji arrived at the Chiba City Classical Music Hall within 10 minutes.

　　"S-Senpai, hand..."

　　Hearing Kaori's words, Ryuji reacted and let go of her hand.

　　"Sorry, unknowingly…"

　　To be precise, it was an instinctive reaction, a sequela of hooking up with too many girls.

　　"It doesn't matter." Kaori waved her hand with a smile.

　　The two entered the hall and went to the player's waiting room to prepare.

　　Kaori took out a white dress and was about to change clothes.

　　"Senpai, don't you need to change your clothes?" She asked.

　　"...You want to change clothes?"

　　Ryuji patted his head, he was only wearing casual clothes, which had nothing to do with 'classic'.

　　"Ah, I see, Senpai must have done it on purpose!" Kaori suddenly said loudly.

　　"Senpai must find classical music too boring, so wearing something like this changes the mood!"

　　Kaori automatically made things up.

　　Ryuuji: "😐"

　　Kaori didn't expect that Ryuji didn't know how to wear formal clothes while playing, because his piano skills were too great, and he must have been influenced by classical music since childhood.

　　Immediately Kaori changed into a white dress, with blonde hair draped over her shoulders, her temperament different from usual.

　　"Senpai, is there a problem with the song?" She approached Ryuji and asked.

　　"No problem... Must." Ryuji nodded, it would be more reassuring if there wasn't a final "must".

　　In fact, he had never heard of the song, nor had he practiced it before.

　　"Hmm... Very suspicious." Kaori rolled her eyes and suddenly stared wide open.

　　"Senpai, you probably didn't practice before!"

　　Ryuji felt a little guilty, not only because he didn't practice it, but because he never played it at all.

　　"Really... How interesting! Ha ha ha!" Kaori suddenly laughed while clutching her stomach.

　　"Senpai is really special…" She removed the water stains from the corners of her eyes, put her hands on her hips and said to Ryuji: "Then I'm going crazy with Senpai this time!"

　　This was clearly related to her performance, but she didn't care at all.

　　Ryuji looked confused, completely unaware of what Kaori was talking about.

　　It was finally Ryuji and Kaori's turn. The two stepped onto the stage, and lights from all around shone on them.

　　"This person..." An old jury frowned when he saw Ryuji's clothes.

　　In this sacred classical hall, performers don't even wear formal clothes, which is an insult to classical music!

　　"Are you a pianist..." Jury curled his lips, but it was a pity that this was a violin competition. Otherwise, he would directly reduce Ryuji's value.

　　Ryuji took a stance, and placed his slender fingers on the black and white keys.

　　Kaori put the violin to her neck, exchanged glances with Ryuji, and the show began.

　　The melodious sound of the piano echoed in the hall.

　　With the [Wisdom of Dún Scáith] skill, Ryuji had displayed national level power, and could easily control even a song that had never been played before.

　　The jurys' expressions changed slightly, they didn't expect this young man who wasn't wearing formal clothes to have such ability.

　　The audience lacked interest, even though Ryuji and the group were good, listening to music six times in a row was really boring.

　　Ryuji mastered it very well, this playing was dominated by Kaori, and didn't overpower the sound of her violin.

　　Suddenly, the sound style of the violin changed. One second it was sunny, but the next it was stormy, catching people off guard.

　　Kaori's sudden change in style made Ryuji slightly surprised, he seemed to understand what the girl had said before the show.

　　Kaori plays the violin as she pleases, in various styles, and Ryuji cooperates with his piano accompaniment.

　　"Really..." The corners of Ryuji's mouth twitched. Kaori was too stubborn, changing styles at will knowing he could keep up.

　　Kaori looked back at Ryuji and blinked.

　　"hissing!"

　　The jurys made big marks on the judging table.

　　This kind of chaos is the greatest blasphemy against classical music!

　　"This kind of person... This kind of person is too much!" growled the jury.

　　Many jurys think like this.

　　"Oh, that's rather interesting."

　　Among the jurys, the corner of the mouth of the person in the farthest corner lifted, and she looked at Kaori on the stage with great interest.

　　Her performance livened up any boring club, such an appearance on her own accord was extremely rare.

　　"No, what's rarer is a pianist who can keep up with the beat..." The jurys looked at Ryuji.

　　With such skill at such a young age, is it a genius...
