Chapter 172 Perfect ending! I will punish you by making you get admitted to Tokyo University!
It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
The seats in the "Sakura Hall" concert hall were already full, and the audience was waiting patiently.
After a while, a girl in a dress came on stage to play the piano.
As her fingertips danced, the beautiful piano sound slowly came.
After a song.
The audience applauded.
Kamishiro Hakufu and other people in the literature department also clapped their hands.
At this time, since Watanabe Hina was not there, Nagasawa Yui sat over to his right.
And Mizuno Maki also came over.
So the current seating situation is.
[Urahara Junko] [Chitanda Mirai] [Kamishiro Hakufu] [Nagasawa Yui] [Mizuno Maki]
The rightmost seat is empty, reserved for Watanabe Hina.
Nagasawa Yui asked:
"By the way, Kamishiro-kun, can you understand piano?"
Kamishiro Hakufu shook his head and said:
"Of course I don't understand."
"I haven't learned it, so how can I understand it?"
Nagazawa Yui asked Chitanda Mirai beside her:
"What about you, Chitanda-san?"
Chitanda Mirai actually understood it, but after hearing Kamishiro Hakufu say that she couldn't, she didn't plan to say that she could. She smiled and shook her head and said:
"Although I don't understand it very well, I think the melody played by this girl is quite nice."
Nagazawa Yui chuckled, then held her head high and said:
"Although I don't know much about piano, I suddenly remembered something when I listened to the piano."
"Kamishiro-kun, didn't you write a song for me before?"
"This morning, the producer in charge of the song in my company told me that the lyrics of this song are very good, and he has helped me this morning. I have found a team."
"I hope that Kamishiro-kun can help me with the melody."
"And let me find time to rehearse."
Chitanda Mirai was surprised:
"Huh? !"
"Kamishiro-kun can write songs?"
Nagazawa Yui was also a little surprised and complained:
"You are surprised too, right?"
"I didn't expect Kamishiro-kun to write songs at first."
"And not only can he write, but he can also sing!"
Chitanda Mirai covered her cherry red lips and was very surprised:
"Really?"
Nagazawa Yui pointed to Mizuno Maki beside her and said:
"If you don't believe it, ask Mizuno-kun."
Mizuno Maki nodded:
"Yes."
"Last time, Kamishiro-kun wrote a song for Nagasawa-senpai when he was about to close the store, and he sang it."
"I think it sounds good too."
Chitanda Mirai looked at Kamishiro Hakufeng with curiosity.
"Kamiyo-kun, I want to see the song you wrote in the future too."
Kamiyo Hakufeng turned around and looked at Nagasawa Yui.
"Sister Yui, do you have a backup on your phone?"
"Yes." Nagasawa Yui said, and took out her phone and pressed it, bringing up the picture for Chitanda Mirai to see.
After Chitanda took it, she looked at the lyrics on the picture and murmured softly.
"Sunshine Girl."
But because she is really not good at singing.
So there is no way to tell how good the song is just by the lyrics.
But if you just look at the lyrics, it feels like a light-hearted song.
And it can also be seen that Kamishiro Hakufeng can write songs.
This is something Chitanda Mirai did not expect at all.
She knows that Nagasawa Yui's family company is also a well-known company in the industry.
There is definitely no problem with the professionalism.
But even the company's music producer has determined that this song has commercial value, which means that this song is really good.
Chitanda Mirai is also a little curious about what effect this song will have after the MV is played.
She returned the phone to Nagasawa Yui and said expectantly:
"I think it will be pretty good in the future."
"I'm looking forward to what effect Nagasawa-senpai will have when he sings it."
"Don't worry, I'll let you listen to it first after the MV is successfully produced." After hearing her words, Nagasawa Yui was secretly delighted, thinking that one of her goals had been achieved.
And Mizuno Maki was listening to the conversation between the few people on the side, although she didn't say much.
But she was also a little curious about what effect Kamishiro-kun's song would have when it was actually played.
Because the chat between the few people was actually only about a minute.
In fact, it was not long after the girl finished her performance.
Soon.
The next contestant had already come on stage.
This time it was a boy, who came up and bowed politely, and then began to play.
Kamishiro Hakufeng listened to her piano playing and thought it was pretty good.
It felt good to use it as background music for listening to songs and reading books.
It's a pity that the literature book he brought is now in Chitanda Mirai's hands.
Kamishiro Hakufeng looked at Chitanda Mirai and found that she was listening to the piano performance with her eyes closed.
And the literature book "Cat, Me and Senior" was placed on her lap.
Speaking of which, it seems that he has not seen Chitanda Mirai turn a page since she borrowed it.
Could it be that because they were just chatting, she had no mood to read?
Maybe
As for now, Kamishiro Hakufeng didn't want to disturb her listening to music, so he thought about it.
Soon.
The song ended.
The applause of the audience rang again.
While waiting for the next person to perform.
Kamiyo Hakufeng saw that he had nothing to do, so he took out his phone and checked.
He found that three people had sent him messages.
They were Erina Kamishiro, Kirisa Hojo, and Sanae Tachikawa.
Erina Kamishiro's message was basically the same as before.
They all urged him to go to the Shinkansen as soon as possible.
As for Kirisa Hojo, he didn't expect to receive a message at this time.
Clicked in and took a look.
[Kamiyo Kirisa: So you won't come to practice dancing tomorrow? ]
This message was sent at noon.
Kamishiro Hakufeng is going to Universal Studios tomorrow, so he doesn't have time to practice dancing.
And he remembered that he had said it in advance.
But in order to avoid trouble, he still replied.
[Kamiyo Hakufeng: Yes. ]
Not long after the message was sent, he received a reply.
[Kamiyo Kirisa: Where are you going? ]
[Kamiyo Hakufeng: Going out to Osaka with my family. ]
After he sent this message, Kirisa Hojo didn't reply immediately.
Instead, she waited for several seconds before replying.
[Hojo Kirisa: Remember not to be late at 6 a.m. on Monday. ]
After she sent this message, she did not send anything else.
But since she said so, it was obvious that she had already tacitly agreed that she would not go to dance practice tomorrow.
This would be the best.
But even if she disagreed, Kamishiro Hakufeng would still go.
Then, Kamishiro Hakufeng looked at the message sent by Tachikawa Sanae.
While he was reading the message, he also glanced at the place where Tachikawa Sanae was sitting.
And she seemed to have noticed something, turned her head and looked over, then shook her phone at Kamishiro Hakufeng and smiled.
Kamishiro Hakufeng did not expect her to look back at this time, so he had to smile and nodded.
Then he looked at his phone, curious about what message she sent.
[Tachikawa Sanae: The next one is my relative who will perform on stage. ]
[Kamishiro Hakufeng: Who is your relative? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: It's my cousin. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Oh, I see. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: Come to think of it, I didn't expect that you and Mizuno-san went to the same high school. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: I didn't expect that either, but there are only a few schools in Tokyo, and everyone goes to nearby schools, so it's normal to meet. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: That's true, but if you think about it carefully, we should have gone to the same school. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Hmm? Why do you say that? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: Actually, when I applied for junior high school, my first choice was also the private Shujin Academy. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Then why didn't you come? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: The reason is that my mother thinks that Sei Sakura Girls' School is better. She said that since everyone is girls, we don't have to waste time on dating and can focus on studying.]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: You should listen to your mother and date later. I know your future path, but mom knows it better than me. 】
【Tachikawa Sanae: (⊙_⊙)? Kamishiro-kun, what are you talking about? ? ? 】
【Kamishiro Hakufu: No, nothing, I just remembered this line of lyrics. 】
【Tachikawa Sanae: Hmm? What song is this? I don't think I've heard it before. What's the name? 】
【Kamishiro Hakufu: "Listen to Mom"】
【Tachikawa Sanae: I can't find it. Did you make it up yourself? 】
【Kamishiro Hakufu: Forget it, that's not important. Compared to this, I think studying hard is good. 】
【Tachikawa Sanae: Eh~ Kamishiro-kun, are your grades now very good? I remember that your grades when you were in school were not much better than mine. Are your grades now better? But first, I go to cram school every day, and my grades have improved. How about we publish our current grades together? 】
【Kamishiro Hakufu: OK. 】
【Tachikawa Sanae: B-. 】
【Kamishiro Hakufu: A+. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: ? ? ? ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: ? ? ? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: Why are your grades so much better? ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Because I listened to my mother and studied hard, and didn't fall in love, so my grades naturally improved. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: ? ? ? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: I don't believe it, you must have made it up. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: If you don't believe it, forget it. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: I remember that the midterm exam will be next month, so let me see your midterm exam results. If you are lying, then you have to help organize a social gathering with our school. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Social gathering? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: Well, after all, we are a girls' school, and some girls want to find boyfriends, so they want to find boys from other schools to socialize. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Okay, but what if I am not lying? 】
【Tachikawa Sanae: Then we will pay. Wait, Kamishiro-kun, you should ask for it! 】
【Kamishiro Hakufu: What did you just say we will pay for? 】
【Tachikawa Sanae: Nothing. And Kamishiro-kun should ask for it. If you have any needs from me, you can just tell me. If I can do it, I have no problem with it.】
【Kamishiro Hakufu: Okay, then the punishment I give you is that you must be admitted to the University of Tokyo! 】
[Tachikawa Sanae: ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Wait, I'll give you a chance to say the punishment. You want me to get into Tokyo University? ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: What? Do you look down on Tokyo University? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: Okay, sure! But our punishments are a little unequal. If I win, I want you to get into Tokyo University, too! ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Okay. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: That's a deal. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Yeah. ]
"Who is Kamishiro-kun chatting with?" Chitanda Mirai looked at him with a fake smile.
Nagasawa Yui smiled darkly, "It must be a boy, right?"
Mizuno Maki also noticed that Kamishiro Hakufu was laughing while chatting, and was a little curious about who he was chatting with.
Kamishiro Hakufeng explained:
"It's that Tachikawa Sanae just now."
Chitanda Mirai was stunned for a moment, then she crossed her arms over her chest and turned her head away unhappily.
She didn't say anything, just sulked there.
After hearing this, Mizuno Maki felt very sad.
How come even this Tachikawa Sanae has Kamishiro-kun's contact information?
Why doesn't she have it?
Could it be that they added each other's contact information a long time ago and have been in contact all the time?
She looked at Kamishiro Hakufeng and hesitated to ask for his contact information now.
But there were other acquaintances present, and when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.
And Nagasawa Yui narrowed her eyes and asked:
"So you two have been adding friends and contacting each other for a long time?"
Her words made Chitanda Mirai, who was sulking, and Mizuno Maki, who was in pain, couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Kamishiro Hakufeng.
Kamishiro Hakufeng shook his head and said:
"No."
"Actually, I met her at the train station two days ago and found out that she was studying at Sei Sakura Girls' College. Then she said there might be a class reunion in the future, so I added her on LINE."
"Actually, we didn't chat after adding each other, but I didn't expect to meet again today."
Nagazawa Yui was stunned:
"So that's how it is."
Mizuno Maki whispered in a voice that only she could hear:
"Is there such a way to ask LINE?"
Chitanda Mirai's puffy mouth shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. After hearing this, she calmed down, blinked and asked curiously:
"So she just talked to you about the class reunion?"
Kamishiro Hakufeng shook his head and said:
"No, didn't she just say that a relative was going to perform on stage?"
"So she told me that the girl who was about to perform on stage was her cousin."
Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:
"So that's how it is."
Nagazawa Yui and Mizuno Maki suddenly realized and thought that this was the case.
Afterwards, the three of them kept their eyes on the stage.
They wanted to see if that girl was really Sanae Tachikawa's relative.
At this time.
The host on the stage looked at the list in his hand and said the next person's name into the microphone.
The three of them were relieved when they heard the surname of Tachikawa at the beginning.
They just felt that Sanae Tachikawa was not lying.
This is indeed her relative.
After a while.
Sanae Tachikawa's cousin finished playing.
There was loud applause from the audience.
It was more intense than the previous two times.
Obviously, many people could hear that this girl played very well.
Chitanda Mirai couldn't help but clap her hands, thinking that Sanae Tachikawa's cousin really played well.
If nothing unexpected happens, this girl might be able to compete for the championship in the high school group.
At this time, Kamishiro Hakufeng also received news from Tachikawa Sanae again.
[Tachikawa Sanae: How is it, my cousin played well, right? ]
[Kamishiro Hakufeng: I don't understand, but it sounds pretty good. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: My cousin won the championship of the competition held by the piano association last year, so it must be very nice. ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: Champion? ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: Yes, isn't your senior Watanabe a pianist? Didn't she tell you who the champion was last time? ]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: No, after all, she doesn't dare to be interested in things that she is not interested in. ]
[Tachikawa Sanae: Hum~ Interesting, I hope your senior can get a good ranking. ]
Kamiyo Hakufu put the phone back in his pocket, and then said to the people beside him:
"I heard from Tachikawa Sanae that her cousin was the champion last time."
Nagazawa Yui was dumbfounded:
"Ah?"
"The champion of last time?"
"No wonder I, an outsider, think it sounds good!"
"So she is the champion?"
"What about junior Watanabe?"
"I feel that this opponent is very strong, she may not win."
Chitanda Mirai was also a little worried.
She didn't expect that this person was the champion of the previous session.
No wonder her performance was so strong.
Although Senior Watanabe's performance at the last opening ceremony was very good.
But if she wants to beat Sanae Tachikawa's cousin, it's still a bit shaky.
According to her,
The scoring criteria for piano competitions are generally that the more difficult the piece, the more accurate and emotional the playing, the higher the score.
And the girl just played a difficult piece.
So if Senior Watanabe Hina wants to beat her, she must also play a difficult piece, and play it better than this person.
if not
after a while.
Finally it was Hina Watanabe’s turn.
Thinking of facing so many audiences, pianists in the industry, and even parents who are famous pianists in Japan, she was still very nervous, and her heart was beating fast.
The nauseating, suffocating and uncomfortable feeling of anxiety in the past came again.
But at this time, she suddenly remembered the thermos that Kamidai Bai Feng had given her before.
Watanabe Hina looked at the thermos cup in her hand, and her anxiety suddenly dissipated a lot. She unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
Suddenly.
She felt that her body seemed to be a lot lighter, and even her sight seemed to be a little slower.
This drink gave her an indescribable sense of tranquility.
"Next, we invite Hina Watanabe to play!"
Hina Watanabe slowly walked onto the stage.
When she saw the dark audience, as well as her parents and members of the piano association sitting at the front, she couldn't help but feel nervous and stomachache again.
Watanabe Hina immediately recalled the method that Jindai Bai Feng said and quickly searched for his location.
Not a moment.
When she saw him waving to her, her face couldn't help but be filled with joy and affection.
The originally tense feeling began to melt away quickly like winter snow under the scorching sun, and the body became extremely relaxed in an instant.
The lights on the stage gradually turned on, illuminating the entire stage like a dream.
The audience's eyes were focused on the black grand piano in the center of the stage, looking forward to the music that was about to be performed.
And Hina Watanabe was wearing a light blue dress next to the piano.
I saw her adjusting her sitting posture, then gently raising her hands, ready to start her playing.
As Hina Watanabe's fingertips danced gently on the keys, the beautiful piano sound slowly sounded.
The music is like gurgling water, clear and melodious, and like the wind in the mountains, gentle and profound.
The audience was deeply attracted by this beautiful melody, as if they were in a dreamy music world.
Every note is like an elf-like existence, jumping in every corner of the venue, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Watanabe Hina's playing skills are skillful and exquisite, and she expresses the emotions in the music vividly.
The performance gradually reached a climax, and the sound of the piano became more passionate and passionate, as if the love in my heart was pouring out.
Even Watanabe's parents, who are piano masters, couldn't help but widen their eyes after hearing the sound. They were also infected by the sound, and their hearts were filled with shock and surprise.
The two of them originally thought that they would definitely lose to the previous champion in this competition.
But he didn't expect that his daughter would be in such good condition today?
Is it true that when I played such a difficult piece of music before, I couldn't play it so well?
But this time it was played so perfectly and with so much emotion?
This kind of performance can definitely win first place!
As the song ends.
The stage immediately erupted into louder applause than after cousin Sanae Tachikawa finished playing.
After listening to their applause, Watanabe Hina released the keys heartily. This perfect performance was unexpected by herself.
Watanabe Hina couldn't contain her inner joy. After bowing politely to the audience on the stage, she quickly picked up her dress and wanted to go to Kamishiro Hakuho immediately!
However, after passing by, she couldn't help but grimace and found that her seat was taken by Yui Nagasawa.
