Chapter 413 Zero Hour
The concert is divided into three stages.
The first stage is admission, which is the entry of ticket-holding spectators.
Depending on the location and size, generally the larger the concert, the more generous admission time will be.
The second stage is the opening, which is when the performance begins.
The third stage is the end, that is, the performance is over and the audience leaves one after another.
Depending on the organizer's rules and activities, there may be fan handshake parties, autograph sessions, etc. after the performance, which are mostly cases.
Time will not stop, it will move forward every moment and every second.
At 7:30 p.m., the public address loudspeaker in the park rang:
"The zero-hour piano recital is about to begin. Audiences with tickets are requested to enter in an orderly manner."
Hearing this news, the ticket holders silently left the crowd and headed to the main entrance of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
As for those spectators without tickets, some people wanted to fish in troubled waters, so they ran over.
However, because the space and location in the venue are limited, and the crowd is fierce, too many people have gathered, and the security level is too high, giving people no chance to sneak in.
And most people looked at each other in confusion.
"Master Zero Hour isn't going to show up?"
"Could he have entered the venue early?"
"How is that possible? We arrived at 7 o'clock in the morning. Even if we have to go to the toilet, we take turns. There is no way we can miss it."
"Is there a possibility... that we can't recognize Master Zero Hour without his mask and tuxedo?"
"It seems there is no chance this time, let's go."
"Tonight is worth it, I saw Adelina."
"Adelina is so beautiful... She is obviously not dressed up, and her outfit and makeup look ordinary. Is this a natural beauty?"
"The black-haired lady is also super beautiful... She appears in a luxury car and is accompanied by a maid. She should be the rich lady, not a cosplayer, right?"
Most people felt that this result was generally acceptable, and they left the venue slowly and orderly amidst the discussion.
"You said, if we wait until the show is over, will the Zero Hour Master show up?"
At this moment, a voice emerged from the crowd.
"It's possible."
"Why don't you wait a little longer? The performance is only two hours long, and I've been waiting for half a day. It's not too late."
“And you can also watch the broadcast of the show here.”
As soon as this statement came out, it once again ignited the expectations of many people.
Perhaps Adelina's appearance and appearance, her breathtakingly beautiful face, and her unique temperament are indeed surprising.
But in the final analysis, the reason why so many people gathered at the scene was because of their idols.
It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the people at the scene had only seen Zero Hour's appearance on the Internet.
The mysterious sense of the unknown and the temptation to get what you want attracted so many people to the scene.
The most important thing is that some people come over a short drive away in order to get a good seat, or even ask for leave.
For them, it is really hard to accept that they have paid so much but failed to get the most satisfactory results.
"You can only use mobile data to watch the show in the park, which is too expensive... I'd better go to an Internet cafe.
“The screen of the mobile phone is so small, it’s not pleasant to watch at all.”
However, most people cannot bear the cost of continuing to invest and choose to leave the market, or stop losses.
Miyazaki Yuta was also in the leaving team. He was smarter and kept an eye on the time. He had already reached the nearest exit of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
"It's a pity. Let me tell you, Master Zero Hour is really handsome and his aura is really amazing."
Miyazaki Yuta didn't come alone. He was accompanied by several college students, all of whom were alumni of Tokyo University.
"You have the nerve to say it, but you made everyone wait with you for more than an hour."
"That's right, you also said that Master Zero Hour is very doting on his fans, and that he can't help it because the number of tickets is not enough, but showing up to say hello to everyone before the show starts is something he can easily do."
"I have so much time. I order takeout at home, turn on the air conditioner, and sit in front of the computer. Isn't it comfortable?"
After hearing his words, everyone felt resentful.
"Senior...you are so unreliable."
Even the school girl who had a crush on Miyazaki Yuta felt a headache at this time and couldn't defend him.
"Don't say that... Although we didn't meet Master Zero Hour, we did meet Mr. Ninomiya."
In the face of everyone's complaints, Miyazaki Yuta paused for a few seconds, choked on his words, and then started to enlighten everyone.
Maybe this isn't the best result, but it won't mean losing everything.
"That's true."
"Now it seems that Teacher Ninomiya did not resign impulsively, but she will no longer be a teacher at Tokyo University, but will mainly carry out activities as her odd-time girlfriend."
"Teacher Ninomiya was probably worried about her identity and that appearing in the music video might affect Tokyo University's reputation. Worried about the negative impact, she chose to resign."
Most of the people who came to join in the fun were students from the Ninomiya group.
They also admire Zero Hour Master, but the reason why they were attracted was the news that Mr. Ninomiya appeared in the MV.
In fact, Chizuru Ninomiya's appearance in the MV had an extremely huge impact, like a storm that directly swept through universities and even colleges across the country.
This incident has caused quite a lot of social problems... Some people even submitted a letter of opinion to the University of Tokyo, saying that as a female teacher at the University of Tokyo, Chizuru Ninomiya appeared in the MV like an artist after resigning, which had a bad influence and was simply promoting the theory that studying is useless. She must be severely punished and held accountable.
Of course, most people are happy about this incident.
Because the piano single "Adeline at the Water's Edge" is not just a song, but a love letter of the new era.
Whether it is positive or negative comments, it has pushed Zero Hour, Chizuru Ninomiya, and "Adeline at the Water's Edge" to the forefront and became popular all over the country.
From elementary school students to the elderly in their seventies and eighties, everyone has heard about this incident.
"Anyway, it's worth it to see Teacher Ninomiya so happy."
Yuta Miyazaki laughed with everyone.
"That's right."
"I tell you, this is the first time I've seen Teacher Ninomiya smile. She's so beautiful."
Everyone was also relieved and echoed.
While talking and laughing, they didn't stop and kept walking out.
But at this moment, Miyazaki Yuta, who was following the footsteps of his predecessors and was about to leave Ueno Park and find an internet cafe nearby, bumped into the person in front of him.
"I'm sorry."
Suddenly bumping into someone, Miyazaki Yuta bowed decisively and apologized solemnly.
However, the man who was bumped did not turn around, nor did he get angry, but still had his back to him.
Quiet, very quiet, no conflict, no reaction, which was completely different from the usual situation of accidentally bumping into someone on the street.
"?"
Feeling something strange, Miyazaki Yuta straightened up and looked up in confusion.
At the entrance of Ueno Park, there was a man standing there.
Wearing a gentleman's hat, his face was covered by a mask, wearing a black tuxedo, tall and slender, and his shadow was stretched very long by the light of the street lamp.
With such appearance features, it was Master Zero Time.
He stood there motionless, like a statue, but exuding indescribable majesty.
When a person is silent and motionless, it will make people feel awe.
In fact, everyone will act according to circumstances when speaking.
Perhaps children will not think too much, and some people will speak without thinking.
But when everyone speaks, they will observe other people's expressions, movements, eyes, and tone, and then subconsciously choose the words they think are right.
That's why when no changes are observed, people will not dare to act rashly.
"Master of Zero Hour?"
"Cosplay again?"
Seeing such a scene, some people were surprised, while others were suspicious and disdainful.
Because today many people Cosplay Master of Zero Hour, although the degree of completion is far less than the one in front of them, especially the mask, is exactly the same.
But in fact, the appearance of Master of Zero Hour is not impossible to copy.
No matter what the idea is, everyone tacitly chose silence and stopped.
Everyone is waiting for the next change of this suspected Master of Zero Hour.
"Ah..."
Kurosawa Mitsuru, who was noticed by everyone and wore a mask, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He didn't mean to be intimidating, but seeing so many fans leaving disappointed made him feel complicated.
Although he felt sorry, Kurosawa Hikaru still took a step and started to walk towards the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
His pace was neither fast nor slow, but wherever he passed, he was eye-catching.
Because the aura he exuded was very special, with his head held high, confident and calm, as if he was going to the stage, but was passing by the audience.
Because he was going against the flow, going against everyone, and wearing the clothes of Master Zero Time, people couldn't help but wonder what he was going to do.
"He is Zero Time!"
Miyazaki Yuta looked at the figure walking step by step, his mood gradually fluctuated, and he was even more shocked, and the thoughts in his mind blurted out.
Perhaps in this world, not many people know the true face of Zero Time, who exactly is he.
In this case, wearing a gentleman's hat, covering his appearance with a special mask, and wearing a tuxedo suit, it is indeed easy to confuse people.
However, people who have seen Master Zero Time in person are not so easy to confuse.
Because it is easy to imitate a person's appearance, but it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to imitate a person's charm and temperament.
"Is it true?"
As soon as this was said, it immediately aroused the surprise of the friends.
"Really, I have seen Master Zero Time, I can be sure that he is absolutely real."
Yuta Miyazaki looked confident.
Hearing this, the alumni of the University of Tokyo all brightened up.
"No way?"
"The performance is about to start, and he just ran out... Can it be fake?"
However, other people did not know Yuta Miyazaki at all, and they still doubted this statement.
At this time, several security personnel who were standing at the entrance of the park and guiding the crowd's position suddenly received a message, and walked forward in unison, surrounding Zero Time in the middle and clearing the way for him.
If Yuta Miyazaki's words were an online rumor, then the behavior of the security personnel was undoubtedly official certification.
"He is really Master Zero Time."
"Master Zero Time is so tall."
"Master Zero Time is so handsome."
Seeing this scene, people who were originally doubtful seemed to have found a bright light.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the movement at the entrance and exit of the park swept across like a surging wave.
"Master Zero Hour is here?"
"No way? Are you trying to show up on time?"
"Don't block the road, let me pass!"
Because after their expectations were disappointed, their hopes were raised again. Many people burst out with unimaginable surprises and excitement, and some even wanted to see it first.
Seeing this scene, security personnel deployed everywhere quickly took action to maintain order.
"Ah - it's zero hour!"
"Zero hour! I love you!"
"Zero hour! I will always support you!"
Some people were suddenly excited when they saw the retrograde Zero Hour, surrounded by security personnel.
Because of the online broadcast, most people were unable to buy tickets. The biggest regret is that they did not have the opportunity to meet their idols.
This is also the reason why so many people did not buy tickets and came here to join in the fun just because they were lucky.
The emotions that fans feel when they see their idols are indescribable... When expectations are unexpected and their expectations are not met, that emotion will be even more amplified.
Different from seeing Adelina's surprise and then the tacit understanding of chanting her name, all the fans went crazy when they saw Zero Hour's appearance and couldn't organize neat slogans at all.
In an instant, screams and shouts, noisy and chaotic sounds, broke out in the park.
A huge noise came from the entrance of the park. Even if they didn't see anyone, many fans got excited because of the huge momentum.
Such noise even reached the main entrance of Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
"Master Zero Hour is here?"
Even the audience who was reviewing the tickets knew that they would see it later, but their attention was attracted when they discovered this situation.
Because if you see the person you really want to see even one minute or one second earlier, you will be happy.
The architectural style of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is very special, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window design on the second floor.
"I have to make a trip... I hope nothing goes wrong."
Under the light, Igarashi Runa stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with one arm folded. Seeing the momentum below, she couldn't help but have a headache.
In fact, there is no arrangement to appear in advance at midnight tonight.
Because Zero Hour is different from ordinary artists. He is a masked artist, and the fewer times he appears, the better.
Moreover, the number of fans today is so large that it can be called a grand occasion. If we sneak around in front of everyone, who knows what accidents will happen.
Just like that, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Kurosawa called her and told her that he was completely ready. She directly asked Kurosawa to pack up his odd-time clothes and bring them into the club pretending to be a passerby.
As a result, Kurosawa arrived at the scene early and found that the fans were looking forward to Zero Hour's appearance more and more after seeing Adelina's appearance. In the end, when they were disappointed, they couldn't help but ran out.
To be honest, she didn't know how Kurosawa ran to the entrance of the park without anyone noticing... maybe it was parkour.
Meanwhile, Kurosawa Hikaru strolled down the aisle to the clubhouse.
Along the way, lights were shining, and there were constant screams and shouts.
It feels really good to be surrounded by people who like you and adore you.
Although he felt secretly happy, Kurosawa Hikaru did not feel complacent, but remained vigilant.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
The social atmosphere in Neon is very morbid and depressing. It is easy for everyone to accumulate stress in life. Because of this, extreme psychological situations often occur.
He had to be on guard in case a fan suddenly rushed over and wanted to take off his mask and see his true face.
On such an occasion, if he were to take off his mask, the problem would be serious.
The relationship between the piano master and the talented girl from Dongda University is a story that is envied and praised by the world.
But the situation is completely different when it comes to the relationship between a female teacher from Dongda University and a college student from Dongda University.
"I love you!!"
Kurosawa Hikaru walked around, his eyes watching six directions, his ears listening in all directions, always on guard.
Because he was wearing a mask, there were blind spots and blind spots in his field of vision, so he turned his head from time to time.
This scene is undoubtedly a good thing for fans.
Finally, Kurosawa Hikaru walked to the door of the club.
"Any near misses?"
The expected worst outcome did not occur, and Kurosawa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Zero Hour, please."
As he arrived, although there were many people checking tickets at the door, the security personnel also made way for him.
In the clubhouse, many people did not go directly to the concert hall to take their seats after checking their tickets, because they all heard the noise and stopped to see the Zero Hour Master's appearance.
"Good evening, Mr. Zero Hour."
At this moment, a blond foreigner came over and said hello in broken neon language.
"Mr. Robert, are you here too?"
Seeing his arrival, Kurosawa Hikaru was impressed by him, and he greeted him warmly, hugged him, and communicated with him in English.
This Robert is a Croatian, and he was also a friend who was particularly supportive of him when he attended as a special guest.
"I heard that you were going to have a recital, so I immediately put aside all my affairs and came over. I even sent you a wreath."
Robert was extremely happy to see such a warm embrace from him, and pointed to the numerous wreaths arranged at the door.
Foreigners are not as reserved as Asians. They will tell you directly when giving you a gift.
"Thank you."
Even so, Kurosawa Hikaru followed his movements and saw those gifts. His heart froze, but he still smiled.
Although he has lived in this world for 20 years, he does as the locals do in many things... But sending wreaths is one of the cultures that is difficult for him to adapt to.
"You're welcome, I'm looking forward to what kind of surprises you will bring me during tonight's performance."
Robert couldn't see his expression, but when he saw his pause, he thought he was very happy and laughed.
"At zero hour, there are still 15 minutes until the show starts. Let's go backstage first."
At this moment, Igarashi Runa walked over on high heels.
"Sorry, I have to excuse you. The performance is about to start. I'll go backstage to make preparations."
Seeing her interrupting, Kurosawa Hikaru naturally cooperated and turned around to explain.
"It doesn't matter, you go ahead."
Robert knew he was starring tonight and was looking forward to the performance without getting too entangled.
After that, Kurosawa Hikaru followed in the footsteps of Igarashi Runa and started walking.
"There are quite a few wreaths tonight."
Along the way, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but look back at the wreaths on both sides of the door, something felt wrong.
Although he knew that in Neon, giving wreaths to others represented joy and blessings... but he just couldn't get used to it.
"After all, you are very famous now. You are at the peak of popularity. One of the wreaths was given to you by Rikka."
Igarashi Runa didn't know what he thought, she just thought it was a good thing and smiled proudly.
This is the first premiere of Zero Hour. Although it is different from opening a store, it is actually very similar.
Whether someone sends a wreath is a reflection of popularity.
That's right, the more wreaths, the better.
Generally speaking, the bigger the event, the tighter the security backstage to prevent passers-by from trespassing.
As they marched, they passed one security guard after another and entered the depths of the backstage.
"You really scared me to death just now. Fortunately nothing happened."
After entering a room, Igarashi Runa glanced at no one in the room, closed the door again, and couldn't help complaining.
As an agent, she used to have very good control over artists.
But facing Kurosawa, she couldn't control him.
First of all, Kurosawa is a partner, and his status is not inferior to hers.
Secondly, her relationship with Kurosawa is very ambiguous, and she doesn't want to do anything that would dissatisfy him, such as being against him.
"Sorry, there won't be a next time."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw the roll of her eyes when she suddenly looked back, and he also actively admitted his mistake.
He did indeed do something wrong in this matter... Because he understands how to repay kindness, so he can see the kindness and kindness of others towards him.
Because of this, he saw many fans leaving in disappointment, and one of them couldn't bear it and ran out.
Doing so does make fans happy, but it also adds unexpected risks.
"As long as you understand...I won't say much about the performance. I'm sure you won't understand it. But this time it's a solo. It's different from the special guest last time. You need to adjust your state first. For example, drink water, go on bathroom."
Seeing his attitude, Igarashi Runa immediately felt relieved, and then explained the matter.
The most taboo thing in the relationship between people is that when one party has a conflict of opinion and one party has done something wrong, he will not bow his head and admit his mistake, which means being unreasonable.
"good."
Kurosawa Hikaru was very convinced of her arrangements for artist activities.
No one else, just because Ms. Runa is very reliable, careful and trustworthy.
"Speaking of which, are any of the ten piano pieces given to me?"
After finishing business, Igarashi Runa took two steps forward, straightened his tie, and asked casually.
"have."
Seeing that she pretended to mention it casually, but was actually a little jealous, Kurosawa said without hesitation.
"Which one?"
Igarashi Runa's heart trembled and she asked again.
"Flower Dance."
Kurosawa Hikaru said after thinking.
Each of the ten piano pieces tonight is a classic, and there are many romantic piano pieces.
Romantic piano music is suitable for most couples, just like love songs that can always resonate with some people.
"real?"
Igarashi Runa's eyes lit up when she heard this poetic name.
In fact, before her relationship with Kurosawa became ambiguous and exceeded friendship, she felt envious when she saw Chizuru and Miss Ichinose receiving piano music specially written for them by Kurosawa. .
Because the person you like wrote a song for you... Such a gift, just thinking about it, makes people yearn for it.
"Really, you will definitely like it." Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
"Why?" Igarashi Runa found that his attitude was very firm and was a little puzzled.
"You'll know it when you hear it."
Kurosawa Hikaru is extremely confident about the ten piano pieces he will perform.
At this moment, Igarashi Runa's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Igarashi Runa asked after reading the messages on her phone.
"Need not."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.
"Then let's go to the side stage of the performance area."
After receiving this answer, Igarashi Runa nodded and said impatiently.
Maybe she is an agent, but that doesn't affect her being a fan of Zero Hour.
Fans are all looking forward to this performance, and so is she... What's more, because she participated in various preparations behind the scenes, that sense of participation made her look forward to it even more eagerly than ordinary fans.
