In the past few days, Kambaraku has been spending endless hours practicing.

Piano classroom in club building No. 2.

It should be said that it is a piano practice room. The real piano classroom is on the third floor. There is a Steinway grand piano there. It is so expensive that you have to apply to the school to use it.

After staying in the music club for two days, Kanhara Raku realized that the concept of the music club was very large. It included pianos, basses, drums and other musical instruments. Until now, he still didn't know how many there were in the entire music club.

People.

But at least, all the classrooms on the three floors of the club building seem to be the territory of the music department.

According to Nishijima Ohgi, clubs also have different statuses in schools.

The autumn breeze blew through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the music classroom, and Kamhara Raku was practicing "Scottish Dance" amidst the subtle sound of the double brass pipes next door.

For him, with the skill of [multitasking], the coordination of his two hands is not a problem at all.

The key lies in familiarity with the 88 keys, fingering techniques, and perception of rhythm.

Tianhai Qimingyue moved a stool with a backrest and sat next to Kanhara Raku. She wore the school's classic Western-style uniform, smooth knee-length stockings under the pleated skirt, and only a small area of ​​her fair thighs was exposed.

She was wearing her usual pair of gold-rimmed glasses, holding an English book, sitting upright and reading quietly at her side.

"Sword Comes"

Paired with Kambara's slow-paced version of "Scottish Dance", the pages of the book brushed by her slender fingers also made a smooth sound, and the paper smell of ink appeared.

Every time she turned a page, Kanbaru seemed to be able to capture the scent of paper.

After practicing the piano music in his hand until he was tired, Kambaraku was ready to stop and take a rest.

"Continue." Tianhai Qimingyue opened her lips and teeth slightly, and her voice was pleasant and pleasant.

However, Kanbaru couldn't help it anymore, "Auntie, this is the third time. Please let me take a break."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue folded the books with one hand and placed them flat on her knees. She folded her hands in front of her and raised her beautiful and emotionless face, "I feel tired after practicing at this level."

Already?"

The moment she raised her head, Kambara was dazzled by the reflection on her gold-rimmed glasses. She blinked her eyes for a few seconds to adjust. When she squinted and looked over again, Tianhai Qimingyue had returned to her most familiar look.

sitting posture.

The way she sits on the stool is full of grace.

She is so dignified that it would be no exaggeration to say that she is a royal princess.

"I'm a novice." Kanbaru said helplessly, "It's impossible to be omnipotent."

"Beginners need to practice more. Remember, you will need to play professional-level music after a month."

It was only now that Raku Kambara really started playing the piano that he realized the difficulty of this industry. Other people's fingers were as graceful as flying, while his own were like hens pecking at worms. Their flexibility was not at the same level.

"By the way, Qi Mingyue, what level of strength are you at? In terms of piano...level 10 or above?"

"You can say that, but brother, it's best not to use amateur standards to describe professional pianists. People will laugh at them as idiots. Moreover, even if you have passed the level 10 exam, you will not have the true level of level 10. Some only have the level of level 2 or 3.

Throw the sheet music to those so-called tenth-level pianists, and they still can’t play.

”

"...That's not the case."

Systematic piano level 9 is the hard-level piano level 9?

Tianhai Qimingyue did not intend to explain more: "Every profession has people who think they are superior. I can tell my brother responsibly that my sister is hated by many people in the circle."

"Reason?"

"No matter where I go, no matter what competition I participate in, my sister is always the first."

There’s really nothing to say about Jiuliuli’s piano.

For the last recital, there were almost no empty seats at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater, which can accommodate 2,000 people.

If you search for her name on the Internet, you can also find a lot of videos, including those shot during competitions and privately shot.

"I'm jealous. But shouldn't the music industry be taxing? Everyone should be more friendly, right?"

"Brother is wrong, not everyone regards the piano as a hobby that cultivates sentiment."

Think about it carefully.

Let’s not talk about the threshold for the piano profession. People who take the piano as their life dream have the expectations of parents and teachers wrapped around their fingertips, and the eyes of encouragement and expectation from their classmates. Wherever the music is played, it is clearly played.

The pressures called Mount Tai.

If I were to play in that kind of environment, I would probably sweat on my forehead if I played even one wrong syllable.

"Sister won't care about those words. Her own strength is completely sufficient and there are enough people who support her."

"Why is it so famous? Qi Mingyue... You should be the same, why don't I see any performance videos of you on the Internet?"

"I don't want to explain useless things. Instead of discussing these, brother, it is better to continue practicing."

"Okay."

Kagura Raku has no idea of ​​taking a break now, so he has to continue working harder.

Tianhai Qimingyue saw that his hands were on the keys again, and said specifically: "Pay attention to the fourth sentence in sections 13-16. These four sentences conform to the structure of origin, inheritance, transfer, and combination. Pay attention to the feeling and don't overdo it."

Too concerned about speed."

Despite her indifferent attitude, why does Kanbaru sound like she is quite considerate...?

An illusion must be an illusion.

......

The practice lasted until 7pm.

From 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Kanbaru feels that he has made rapid progress. In this afternoon, he was able to play "Scottish Dance" smoothly... Ah, I have to say, it is really refreshing to feel the musical notes flowing out of your fingertips and boosting your mood.

"This is just a second-level piece."

"Ah? Didn't you teach me Level 3?"

"It's not like someone is too stupid and can only climb up the stairs step by step." Tianhai Qimingyue put on her own small schoolbag with a thin strap.

Kagura Le suddenly realized a problem: "It's already 7 o'clock. Jiu Liuli didn't come to see you and go home with you today?"

"I told her that if something happened, she didn't need to call me."

"Oh."

"It's you, sister Jiang, didn't come to contact you?" Tianhai Qimingyue asked.

"She's going home today. She seems to be working overtime to record a radio drama for an anime. Maybe she's recording a talk show with the voice actor of the same anime? I don't really understand this."

While chatting with Qi Mingyue, they briefly tidied up the piano room together, put down the piano, put the stools back in place, turned off the lights, and locked the door.

It was October, and no one would use this small practice room, so the minister gave the key to himself for safekeeping.

"Seven Bright Moons."

Kanbaru tilted his shoulders, which were hung by his shoulder bag, and was about to call Tianhai Qimingyue, but when he raised his head, he realized that she had gone ahead.

It was dark, and there were a few lights on in the corridor. The girl's light back was walking in front, and her long flaxen hair was slightly shining in front. Her legs were wearing small leather shoes under the hem of her skirt, and her shadow followed her movements.

See clearly.

Kagura Raku saw her coming to the corner, quickly put the key back in his pocket, and followed her.

"Why are you walking so fast?"

As Tianhai Qimingyue walked down the stairs, she looked ahead and replied: "Go home."

The attitude is very cold.

Kanbaru looked at her profile. From the fact that she practiced with him until 7 o'clock in the evening, her behavior was completely opposite to her cold attitude.

From this aspect, Kanbaru is actually a little grateful to her.

Humph, the little devil is actually a bit duplicitous.

Kambara walked through the teaching building with her and walked towards the school gate.

"It will be your birthday in a few days."

"So what?" Tianhai Qimingyue raised her eyebrows.

"How should I put it...I want to give you a gift."

Tianhai Qimingyue lowered her eyebrows and looked at the school gate in front of her again: "There are many people who want to give me gifts, but these gifts usually only end up in the trash can."

"You should pay more attention to the gift my brother gave you."

"It barely belongs in the category of harmless garbage."

"What about other people's gifts...?"

"Hazardous garbage is off-putting when you look at it."
