"It's almost certain. Jiuhua used to study at the Takarazuka Music School and has probably graduated."
When she thought of the word "Takarazuka", she couldn't help but sigh:
"This is amazing. I didn't expect that among my students, there is actually a formal member of Takarazuka, and even in the Moon Group. Jiuhua should be a male role, right? She is so heroic on weekdays. I must show off to my mother when I go back."
Fujii Itsuki understood the value of the word "Takarazuka", but he still had one thing in mind:
"Takarazuka Music School is considered an undergraduate program. Logically, Jiuhuayue should have directly joined the Takarazuka Revue and rehearsed with them. Why did she come to Otaru to study in high school?"
Akai Muzi is not quite sure about this either.
At this moment, Fujii Itsuki's cell phone suddenly rang.
He returned to his seat and checked the incoming call information on his phone.
This is the name of her mother that Jiu Huayue told her—
[Nine Flower Evening Princess]
Chapter 80 New Neighbors
"Hello, this is Jiuhua's mother, right? I'm her teacher, Fujii Itsuki. Here's the thing. There will be a trilateral meeting next week. Do you think you have time to come to Otaru?"
"call--"
Fujii Itsuki lay down on the chair with a heavy heart.
He had just been outside and had a phone call with Jiuhuayue's mother, Jiuhua Xifei.
"How is it?" Akai Muzi asked from the side.
“Neither of my parents are coming.”
Akai Muzi frowned, "Why?"
"She just had a falling out with them."
"She has a bad relationship with her parents?"
"Not good, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Otaru alone."
Fujii Itsuki closed his eyes and said with emotion: "But there is one thing I can be sure of. Jiuhua is indeed a member of the Takarazuka Revue, and a formal member. She will be the male lead of the future Moon Group. Her mother said so herself."
Akai Muzi was stunned. She knew Jiuhuayue might have outstanding grades after all her height and beauty were there, but she didn't expect her to be so outstanding.
"I didn't expect that he would be the future male lead of the Moon Group."
"Yes."
Fujii Itsuki was also surprised.
Although he didn't know much about Takarazuka, he knew that the troupe was composed of five groups: Flower, Moon, Snow, Star, and Sky, plus specialists.
Nearly four hundred people.
Each group has male actors, who are female actors playing male roles.
For historical reasons, male actors have a high status in the troupe.
Basically every woman in the troupe aims to become a male role.
Jiuhuayue is so young, but not only has he been elected as the male role in the troupe, he is also the future chief?
I really don’t know whether this thing is good or bad for Jiuhua.

The last class of the afternoon.
swish, swish—
Fujii Itsuki held an inch-long piece of chalk in his hand and left a few long lines of words on the blackboard.
[The Tale of Genji is a novel by Japanese female writer Murasaki Shikibu. It is also the earliest long realistic novel in the world and represents the peak of Japanese classical literature.]
[Murasaki Shikibu's metaphorical technique of linking flowers with human destiny set the tone for the entire Japanese literature.]
Fujii Itsuki wrote on the blackboard and the students took notes.
Chalk dust fell down in large amounts.
The baseball, soccer, and tennis clubs were cheering loudly outside, and the thumping of metal bats stood out among the other sounds.
After finishing writing on the blackboard, Fujii Itsuki put down his chalk and turned around.
In the quiet atmosphere of the classroom, the students were concentrating on copying on the blackboard.
He deliberately cast his gaze towards the window side of the back row - Jiu Huayue's seat.
All the students in the class were copying, except her.
The girl looked out the window.
The wind that blew in from the open window gently touched her black hair, which was straightened and stretched with a curling iron.
Jiuhuayue rested her face on her elbows on the old, scratched desk. Cumulus clouds and rain floated in the blue sky outside the window.
Jiuhuayue seemed to like looking out the window like this.
The girl in the sailor suit has a round profile, a focused expression, and empty eyes. She seems to be gazing at a place that can never be reached.
Fujii Itsuki had called on her no less than five times in class.
But for some reason, Fujii Itsuki did not remind her this time, but followed her gaze and looked outside——
On the playground, several students from the football club were gathered together, talking and laughing.
In the playground, several members of the football club were talking and laughing.
In the classroom, quietly watching their Jiuhuayue
This moment was like a TV scene that symbolized beauty and loneliness. It was so dreamy that Fujii Itsuki could sense the different emotions in Jiuhuayue's heart from her slightly cold profile.
He remembered the call that Jiuhuayue’s mother made to him in the afternoon.
On the phone, her mother's attitude was very firm, and she said that her father was very angry because she sneaked away to Otaru and would not come to Otaru for her.
Unless Jiu Huayue is willing to apologize to her father, he will try to forgive her.
Mrs. Jiuhua, as a mother, was caught in the middle and was in a difficult position. She could not make a decision at this trilateral meeting.
But what kind of thing is this? Shouldn't her father be the one who should apologize?
Fujii Itsuki knew that Jiuhua did not hate her parents.
You can even say that I like it very much.
The last time Jiuhua went back to Tokyo, she specially picked out gifts for her parents in Otaru, and even cooked a meal for them personally after she arrived there.
But her father not only scolded her, but also threw all the food she had prepared for the two of them to the ground.
To the extent that Jiuhua, who was usually cold and indifferent to everyone on campus, would sneak back to Otaru, crying and telling her stories to herself.
I watched TV with her for a long time that day.
Even until the end, she was still a little sad and fell asleep on the sofa.
Ugh.
When I think about next week, out of the 33 students in the class, Jiuhua will be the only student without parents or guardians.
Fujii Itsuki didn't know how to talk to this girl.
It's going to rain outside and the sky is getting dark.
The wind rushed in, and the notebook on Jiu Huayue's desk was blown over.
She blinked slowly and hard, and her head turned towards her.
Their eyes met and they stared into each other's eyes.
Then Jiuhuayue lowered her head, smoothed her hair, picked up the pen, and finally began to take notes.
It's time for school to end.
"You don't have to be on duty today. There's not much garbage. There will probably be a thunderstorm tonight. Go back early, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
After assigning the homework, Fujii Itsuki briefly talked about the trilateral talks that would begin next week, and then let the students go home.
The girls in the class responded one by one, and were very happy to go back early.
Probably because of the rain, everyone left very quickly, and only a few students were left in the classroom still taking notes.
There were very few people left in the classroom, and the atmosphere was a little depressing amid the sound of gray rain.
"See you tomorrow, Kokoharu-chan."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to Rinka Hiiragi, Matsumae Shinharu saw Fujii Itsuki on the podium, who seemed to be still waiting for Kyuukazuki.
During class, she actually noticed that Fujii Itsuki was always paying attention to Jiuhuayue.
Teacher Fujii’s eyes seemed to be saying to Jiuhua - I care about you very much.
This made Matsumae Shinharu feel a little uncomfortable. First, she didn't like that Mr. Fujii cared about other people in front of her like this. Second, Mr. Fujii was paying attention to Satsuki.
This made Matsumae Shinchun feel complicated.
Seeing that there was no one else in the classroom, she walked up and spoke to Fujii.
She first bowed very gracefully.
"Teacher Fujii."
"The eldest daughter of the Matsumae family, right?"
"."Matsumae Shinchun's face turned slightly red.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter at school. It's better to be formal." Fujii Itsuki smiled. "It's raining outside. There will probably be a thunderstorm later. Forget about the practice of the wind band today. You'd better go home early. Isn't Mr. Nagayama waiting for you at the school gate?"
"Yingbo won't be here for a while."
"Got it. Songqian can sit in the classroom for a while. Jiuhua is still copying the blackboard. I'll finish wiping the blackboard and go to the office to pack up and leave."
