September, the first day of school for new students at Waseda Elementary School. Wearing a set of Waseda Elementary School uniforms, Miyuki Kitagawa and her mother Kako Kitagawa walked from home to the school gate to wait for Takeshita Kusake, after all, such an important witness day could not be without him. It only takes fifteen or six minutes for their mother and daughter to walk over on one side. The two who arrived early waited patiently for his arrival, and then the family of three went to the indoor basketball hall of Waseda Elementary School where the opening ceremony of new students was held.

Takeshita Kusaoke, who received a call from Kako Kitagawa last night to inform him of the incident, set the alarm on his mobile phone himself, so as not to be unable to get up. When he lived in Edogawa Ward, he went to Shinjuku Ward, which was not something that could be done on foot, after all, it would take more than an hour to take a bus ride unilaterally. So, it was just a pair of Takeshita grass mustard who had entered the city, not only got up early in the morning, but also took a shower and brushed his teeth at the same time. I changed into clean clothes, ate a bucket of instant noodles, and hurried out.

"Dad, why haven't you come yet?" Miyuki Kitagawa, who was full of unhappiness, took her mother's right hand with her left hand, and pouted high.

Holding the mobile phone in his left hand, he glanced at Kitagawa Kako, who was about to reach the point, so he couldn't help but call Takeshita Kusao directly to inquire about the situation: "Where are you there?" ”

At this time, Takeshita Kusaoke, who was sitting on the bus and was more or less anxious, although he calculated the time to be able to reach Waseda Elementary School, he did not calculate the road jam caused by a traffic accident on the way, which caused the delay and slowing down the speed of the vehicle. Holding the mobile phone in his right hand and placing it next to his right ear, he looked at the traffic jam outside the window and said helplessly: "Hey, I'm in a big traffic jam here." Go in first! I tried to get over as fast as I could. ”

After the clear Kitagawa Kako simply promised the word "good", she hung up the phone and looked at her daughter standing next to her and said, "Because of the traffic jam, my father was stuck in traffic jams, and I couldn't come over in time." However, he personally promised to come here. Let's go inside! ”

In desperation, Kitagawa Miyuki had to nod her head, and turned her back with her mother and walked inward. She couldn't help but look back at her after taking a few steps, and how much she wished that her father would appear in her sight. However, until I walked into the indoor basketball hall of Waseda Elementary School, I didn't see my father's familiar figure.

Miyuki Kitagawa, who entered the indoor basketball hall, soon broke up with her mother. She sat in the area of the first grade class A, and Kitagawa Kako went to the back of the parent area to find a random seat to sit down. Ten minutes later, the opening ceremony of this class of freshmen will begin. Miyuki Kitagawa, who was not in a good mood, looked listless and lowered her head. I still can't forget the appearance of my father. So, she didn't listen to the people on the stage at all, and looked back at the entrance of the indoor basketball hall from time to time.

"Next, Kamiru Maeda, who won the first prize in the Shinjuku Ward Elementary School Piano Competition, will play a piano piece for parents and new students in Class A." A female teacher who acted as a moderator said enthusiastically with a kind smile on her face.

From the left side of the stage, he was not in a hurry or slow, and walked up to the stage calmly, first bowed slightly to the teachers on the stage, and then bowed slightly to everyone in the audience. She sat down on the piano seat calmly, put her hands on the face of the keys, and played the piano piece that she had won the first place in the Shinjuku Elementary School Piano Competition.

Matsui Aki, a classmate who sat in the first place inside Miyuki Kitagawa, turned his head sideways to look at her on his right, not only took the initiative to introduce himself, but also said with a little pride in his quiet tone: "Hello, my name is Matsui Ashu." Sister Xun, who plays piano music on stage, lives next door to my house. We're on good terms. I would go to her house every now and then. Do you know? She learned piano from the famous teacher Hitomi Sakurai. Sister Smoke will be a pianist in the future. She is a very popular and concerned girl in this school. ”

And Maeda Xun was the first to worship Miyuki Kitagawa under the teacher of Hitomi Sakurai.,Not only do I study art with each other on weekends.,And we often go to concerts together.,And so on.。 She was in a bad mood, so she just blinked her eyes and looked at her, and simply said, "Oh! ”

"You know what? I adore Sister Smoke. I know everything about her. Sister Smoke's favorite food is octopus balls. The person she admires the most is Chopin...... "Aki Matsui with his hands clenched into fists on his chest, not listening to the melodious piano music played by Maeda, but blindly showing off the relationship between himself and this celebrity."

Miyuki Kitagawa, who was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes twice in a row, fully realizing that she was not right. She didn't directly pierce Matsui Aki, but she remembered very clearly that Maeda Xun told herself that her favorite food was water steamed buns, and she was not too tired to eat in one breath, and the person she admired the most was Liszt.

"Do you really know Sister Xun very well?" Miyuki Kitagawa, who felt that Aki Matsui was lying a little, was expressionless, and suddenly couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Of course. Although I didn't study with Sakurai-sensei, I did learn piano. Sister Smoke also comes to guide me from time to time. By the way, Sister Xun is not something you can call, but you should call her Maeda-senpai. Otherwise, it's very rude. Aki Matsui, who showed an unquestioning expression, held his head high with a smile on his face and corrected.

"You're amazing enough to know so much news. My name is Nisia Ishikawa, can I be friends with the two of you? I'm looking forward to getting in touch with Maeda's seniors and asking for advice on how to learn piano well. For this reason, I have been scolded and cried many times by my mother. Back in the day, my parents took me to Sakurai-sensei's three exams, but I didn't pass them. I've heard that some of Japan's most famous pianists and dancers have studied with Sakurai-sensei. So, when Maeda-senpai grows up, he will also become a celebrity and an amazing pianist. Ishikawa Yaxia, who was sitting on the left hand side of Aki Matsui, deliberately lowered his voice and interjected to join in and ask to be friends.
