Ep. 8: Chiaki Auditions Kuroki While Rui Faces Pressure From Her Mother in Paris

8

Dissatisfied with his initial performance, Chiaki begins searching for new musicians and extends an invitation to Kuroki for an audition. Concurrently, Rui is compelled by her mother, Mrs. Son, to depart from Paris. This decision follows reports from Madame Bellou, who is possibly Rui's landlady, alleging that Rui has been neglecting her duties and spending excessive time at Chiaki's residence. Meanwhile, Nodame dedicates herself to rehearsing for the conservatoire exams, accompanied by Kuroki and Paul duBois as they prepare for their upcoming assessments.
