Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 212: Their School Festival (Part 3) [K]

As each program was successfully completed, the school representative sitting on the judges' panel finally felt relieved and the weight of regret in their hearts fell to the ground.

Yes, they had watched the rehearsal a few days ago and had a general idea in mind.

If the performance goes as it does during the rehearsal, then the actual performance will definitely be good.

But after all, this was the first time for a young lady to get into a bridal sedan.

It is a test for both Chengnan Private High School and its students.

Performing in an empty stand and performing in a packed hall are two completely different concepts.

To give the most straightforward example, some introverted and shy children tend to perform poorly when only a few acquaintances are watching them, not to mention that during a formal performance, there will only be more, not less, audience members.

But for now, it seems that they are worrying too much.

These kids performed very well.

"Can you say it now?"

In the audience, the woman that Watanabe Yu had met before turned around and looked at Hayakawa Naoko helplessly.

A phone call from the other party ruined her day off.

She was originally planning to have a nice late sleep today.

"say what?"

Naoko Hayakawa looked at the other person with a confused look on her face.

"Tell me the reason why you asked me to come here. It can't be that you want to find someone to watch the show with you, right?"

Matsushima Rie sighed and ignored Hayakawa Naoko's pretending to be stupid.

A long time ago, or to be more precise, before she really met Hayakawa Naoko, she had admired this former pop diva very much.

Later, with the introduction of her mentor Chieko Yamano, she actually met her idol.

then……

As the time spent in contact increased, this longing naturally disappeared.

The cool sister she thought was actually a nagging and even evil woman!
"Don't worry, we're just getting started."

Naoko Hayakawa signaled Matsushima Rie to stay calm.

"...You don't want me to see if there is anything else that Yuki can improve on, do you?"

Matsushima Rie frowned and suddenly reacted.

She was aware that Yuki Hayakawa would participate in this performance.

From the very beginning, Naoko Hayakawa did not hide anything from her.

It's just that she was too tired yesterday, and when she received a call from Hayakawa Naoko in the evening, she really didn't react.

"bingo~"

Seeing that Matsushima Rie had guessed it, Hayakawa Naoko no longer concealed it and said it directly.

There are some things that are inappropriate for her to say, and Yuki won't take them that seriously.

As the old saying goes,
——A master cannot teach his own son.

It would be appropriate to give this job to the most famous music critic of the younger generation in the industry.

"Can I say no?"

"What do you say?"

Faced with this question, Naoko Hayakawa did not answer, but just looked at her former fan girl with a smile.

"There should be a meal, right?"

There was a hint of resignation in Matsushima Rie's voice.

"That's no problem. I'll take you out for a good meal at noon or in the evening."

Naoko Hayakawa agreed readily.

It's just a meal, she can still afford this amount of money.

Not to mention her generous savings, just the profit from the flower shop alone would be enough to eat up.

"What do you mean by noon or evening?"

Matsushima Rie frowned and noticed something wrong in the reading.

"I can't just invite you, right? I have to reward my daughter and her partner."

Naoko Hayakawa took out her cell phone and checked the time.

After one more show, it will be Yuki and You's turn.

"?"

So I'm the one who got it for free, right?
On the stage, the female host picked up the microphone and continued her unfinished work of announcing the program with a smile on her face.
"First of all, thank you Class B of Grade 2 for the wonderful performance. After the passionate dance steps, let us enjoy a melodious and beautiful melody. Next, please welcome Class A of Grade 1 to perform "First Love" for us."

As soon as the words fell, the stage suddenly went dark.

When the lights came on again, Hoshino Rei, wearing her performance dress, was already standing on the stage.

And Katsuto Mizutani sat upright in front of the piano.

The white spotlight shone on the two of them.

call.

After taking a deep breath, Katsuto Mizutani struck the first note.

Their performance was officially announced to begin.

As the melody of "First Love" echoed in the small auditorium, a slightly cold female voice with a hint of nostalgia also sounded.

"The green rain in May makes people fall into sadness, warming the fruitless longing..."

Hoshino Rei likes the song "First Love" very much and also likes the singer Jay.

Especially after learning about his past obscurity, that feeling of longing became even stronger.

Everyone likes stories with legendary elements, and she is no exception.

She once thought that if she really became a famous singer in the future, she would definitely sing a song "First Love" with Jay.

If possible, she would also like to exchange contact information with him.

but……

That's all for the future.

And it is highly unlikely.

If Jay can maintain his current frequency of creation, then there is no doubt that by the time he becomes a famous singer, he will probably be a leading figure in the music scene.

Ugh.

Hoshino Rei shook her head inwardly, grasping this feeling of regret, and sang the second half of "First Love". Katsuto Mizutani would also join in this part.

If she had a choice, she really didn't want to work with Katsuto Mizutani.

Putting aside the other party's behavior, just talking about singing skills, Katsuto Mizutani is a complete amateur. He can't keep up with her and will instead drag her down.

But her request for a solo was rejected by the teacher.

The reason why she was interested in Watanabe Yu was, firstly, that she was moved by his performance that day, and secondly, she felt that his voice was really like Jay's.

Except for some parts that are a bit too casual, the timbre and voice can be said to be 90% similar.

"The petals flying in the wind seem to disturb the calm surface of the water."

She sang the two lines that were hers.

"Write the word love, when the trembling continues."

Katsuto Mizutani also started singing along.

offstage.

Matsushima Rie frowned and stopped tapping the armrest with her fingers.

It’s not that the boy’s singing was not good enough, but the contrast was too strong.

One has singing skills at the level of a quasi-professional singer, the other has singing skills at the level of a KTV singer. It would be strange if there was no difference between the two.

in fact……

"If this boy is willing to shut up or just sing the harmony... well, he may not know how to sing the harmony, but if he is willing to leave, the performance will be at least a level better."

Matsushima Rie gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat disappointed.

If it is just this girl's solo, based on a stricter standard, this live performance could score around 6.3~6.7 points.

At this moment, as soon as the male voice opened, the score dropped by 1 point.

Even more than that.

Other listeners probably thought so too.

Matsushima Rie glanced at the audience.

The expressions on everyone's faces were pretty much the same as she had imagined.

Obviously, the addition of male voices is unacceptable to many people.

At the same time, whispers began to sound.

"Why do I feel like this song would be much better if that boy just played the accompaniment?"

"I feel a bit like I'm being dragged down by my teammates."

"But the boy's singing wasn't that bad, was it? If you look at it from a normal perspective, the boy's singing was actually pretty good, but compared to the girl, it was indeed a bit behind, which directly caused the whole segment to fall apart."

"That's true."

"If that short-haired girl had a better partner, maybe it would be a different feeling. I'm actually looking forward to her working with Watanabe."

"Watanabe?"

"He's the freshman boy who sang during the school trip."

"Oh...him."

The noise from the audience's discussion wasn't actually very loud, but in the quiet little auditorium, it was somewhat harsh.

Especially for Katsuto Mizutani on the stage.

The white face with makeup was now flushed red.

"look."

Matsushima Rie looked at Hayakawa Naoko and raised her eyebrows.

An expression that said, 'I wasn't wrong, was I?'

"..."

Naoko Hayakawa glanced at Rie Matsushima, smiled and shook her head.

Fortunately, the other person didn't speak loudly, and no one at the scene recognized her, so it didn't matter what she said.

Just play the song.

There was polite applause.

"Thank you to Hoshino and Mizutani from Class 1A for the wonderful performance..."

The female host who was in charge of announcing the show then stepped onto the stage.

"To be honest, I was a little disappointed with this performance, but also a little surprised. If that girl can continue to persevere in her music career, there may be another talented singer in the music world in the future."

Rie Matsushima gave her own evaluation.

Then she turned around and looked at Hayakawa Naoko, waiting for her comment.

“The premise is persistence.”

Naoko Hayakawa made an additional explanation.

It’s not that she is too mean, but to be honest, the path of music cannot be achieved with talent alone, it also requires hard practice.

It doesn’t mean that it’s ok now, ok tomorrow, and ok in the future.

It requires doing it well every day.

"uh-huh."

Matsushima Rie shrugged.

She personally has no objection to Hayakawa Naoko's additional statement.

"Hasn't it been Yuki yet?"

She changed the subject and brought up this matter.

"immediately."

Naoko Hayakawa raised her eyebrows and motioned for Rie Matsushima to look at the stage.

"?"

Matsushima Rie frowned, but still raised her eyes patiently.

The female host also happened to say the name of the next program.

"Next, we welcome Yu Watanabe and Yuki Hayakawa from Class 1C to perform PLANET for us."

There was applause.

This time, the sound was much louder than the previous polite applause.
