Both girls were so beautiful that Kumiko Oumae couldn't help but stare at them in a daze.
Soon, another busty young woman came to them. Her face was exceptionally charming, possessing both the innocence of a young girl and the allure of a mature woman.
The sight of the three stunningly beautiful girls from the Shin-Asahi Brass Band together made Kumiko Oumae gasp.
Kitahara Hakuba must be eating way too well at school!
And that girl is really big.
"Teacher Huang Qian, what's wrong?"
A gentle voice came from behind her, and she quickly straightened her back. What came into view was the school's advisor, Mr. Taki, who was wearing a tuxedo.
"Um, no, I'm just a little worried about the new venue." Kumiko Oumae scratched her cheek awkwardly.
Even though she is now a teacher, she still feels a little reserved when she is around Takigaki.
Takigatsu looked at the stone monument engraved with "Utsunomiya City Cultural Center" and said with a faint smile:
"I think everyone will definitely have no problems."
"Yes." Kumiko Oumae took a deep breath and nodded.
“Let’s go. I think Mr. Kitahara is already inside listening to other schools’ performances,” Takigaki said softly with a slight pause, then smiled gently.
“This time, Kitauji also needs to submit an assignment.”
Kitahara Hakuba offered suggestions for improvement on Kitauji's playing, which Takigatsu incorporated entirely, resulting in an unexpectedly good improvement in the freestyle playing.
Soon, the members of Kitauji's club had all assembled, and under Taki's leadership, they entered the concert hall.
As the deputy advisor, Kumiko Oumae was not allowed to enter, but she could go up to the second-floor audience area.
It's still in the preparation stage. The concert hall is dimly lit, and you can only see the students preparing to perform taking their seats one by one.
As Kumiko Oumae sat down, a slow and deliberate greeting came from beside her:
"kindness?"
Chapter 281. 280. National Tournament! The Girl After the Performance (5K) >>
These strange lines made Kumiko Oumae turn her head and see Kitahara Hakuba wearing a tuxedo.
Before, when I saw him in casual clothes, I thought he was an extremely handsome man. Now, when I see him in a tuxedo, I think he looks like a refined scoundrel.
It's a pity the glasses are missing.
oh::
.
Seeing that she was a little stunned, Kitahara Hakuba smiled and said, "Number 12, Kitauji, should be entering soon."
Kumiko Oumae nodded blankly and looked at the front desk.
"How was Shenxu's playing?" Kitahara Hakuma leaned towards her and whispered in her ear.
"I haven't heard it yet, I've only been here a short time."
She replied in a weak voice, but her ears involuntarily turned red.
“When the CD for the National Tournament on the 23rd comes out, I can give you a Shenxu CD for free,” Kitahara Hakuba said.
Kumiko Oumae also had her own pride, and said with a forced smile:
"I'll give you one from Kitauji too."
"Then it's settled."
A moment later, the female emcee announced, "Number 11, West Kanto representative, Saitama Prefecture, Kasukabe Kyoei High School Brass Band."
Kitahara Hakuba stared at the stage. The lights came on, and as the conductor bowed, he clapped along.
So this is what I looked like on stage with everyone back then:
"Can you understand me?" Kitahara Hakuba asked jokingly, taking advantage of the applause.
Kumiko Oumae gave a dry laugh and said while playing with her fingertips, "Of course I can't compare to the famous Kitahara-sensei. I'm still a bit behind you."
"If you want to grow, why not become my assistant?"
"Again?"
"Because Miss Huang is very beautiful."
This Kitahara Hakuba is a complete liar; being beautiful is not a rare trait in Shenxu at all.
"There are so many pretty girls in the Shenxu Wind Ensemble, why would they need me?"
Kumiko Oumae could never forget the three beautiful girls sitting on the lawn, no matter which one of them was in Kitauji.
They would all be considered "goddesses".
"If I said I like girls my own age, would you believe me?"
The applause stopped the moment he finished speaking, and the topic was abruptly ended.
Kasukabe Kyoei chose the third piece, a freestyle piece that is a regular at the national competition, "Spanish Rhapsody".
Unfortunately, this is already the third performance of "Spanish Rhapsody" today, making it very easy for the judges to make comparisons.
Although everyone says to just focus on your own performance, playing the same piece is actually a very serious matter, and the judges only want to pick the best.
The twelve minutes passed with a roar from the brass instruments, followed by enthusiastic applause from the audience.
"No, Kasukabe Kyoei can only get a bronze award this year."
His confident words, spoken beside her, made Kumiko Oumae's musical sense completely wane.
She thought Kasukabe Kyoei's claim was acceptable, but bronze was too much to ask; at least silver would be better.
"Where do you find someone who applauds while saying no? "
"I clapped to celebrate them being able to stand on this stage, not because I liked their playing."
"Haha, Kitahara-sensei is amazing."
"Don't believe me? Just wait for the awards ceremony."
Are you really that certain?
She looked at Kitahara Hakuma's profile with a puzzled expression.
This person's confidence, pride, and impeccable playing were beyond her reach.
Why did he send himself to teach in Hokkaido?
Could it be that Hokkaido doesn't have any decent deputy advisors? Or is it that he really likes me?
No, no, that can't be. He's probably just joking around.
There's no need to take it seriously; otherwise, you'd just be a clown.
In the silence, Kitauji took the stage.
"Next, number twelve, Kansai representative, Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto Prefectural Kitauji High School Concert Band."
Kumiko Oumae glanced unconsciously at Kitahara Hakuba, who was carefully observing her from the side.
Seeing his serious expression, I couldn't help but feel proud.
How about that? My Kitauji Concert Band is doing pretty well, isn't it?
"It's a pity that Taki-sensei isn't as good-looking as me."
.
Kitauji's performance, following Kitahara Hakuba's suggestion, became much more lively and received enthusiastic applause.
"Don't worry, it's definitely going to be gold."
He simply offered Kumiko Oumae a word of comfort before getting up to say goodbye and leaving the venue, leading the Shin-Asahi Brass Band A-Class back inside.
In a little while, it will be the awards ceremony for the first half of the event.
After finishing their morning performances, the schools gathered in the venue, a group of students in various uniforms.
Despite the large number of people, everyone was very orderly, and there was no loud noise, only the soft sound of conversation.
Breathing techniques.
Akamatsu Sayaka put her arm around her shoulder, winked at her, and smiled:
"Really? Let me rub it and it'll calm you down, okay?"
"Stop joking with me, senior." Kana Eto gave a wry smile; she had gradually become immune to such remarks.
Akamatsu Sayaka looked sadly at her pretty face and said:
"Because Eto is the next department head, by the time we get back today, Sakura and I will be retired, and we will have no chance to exploit you with our positions."
A glimpse of white teeth is visible between Takahashi Kami's red lips:
"It's really impressive that Sayaka-senpai can openly and honestly speak out about sexual harassment."
Sayaka Akamatsu clapped her hands gently and pointed at her with both fingers, saying:
"Study hard, Takahashi-senpai."
"I will definitely learn the essence of Sayaka-senpai's teachings!" Takahashi Kami straightened her chest and gave her a standard salute.
"Does this mean that every future Deputy Minister Shenxu will be carrying around a tag for sexual harassment?:"
Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help but complain, but the words that came out of her mouth sounded unusually relaxed and refreshing.
"Junior Eto, everything you and the other juniors have prepared should be fine, right?"
Kana Eto snapped out of her reverie and subconsciously glanced at Hakuba Kitahara, who was chatting with the Kitauji advisor:
"Okay! No problem!"
"We absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake this time; our voices must be loud and clear." Sakura clenched her fist.
They learned a regretful lesson at the last sports festival, and they will definitely not repeat the same mistake at this awards ceremony!
Sakurako Yukawa slowly began to speak:
