After Jiang Yu went out, Kyoko Kato looked at her niece, showed a smile that seemed to be a smile, and played with the taste: "Okay, Xiaohui, you can also go and prepare." ”

"Hmm." Softly answered, Megumi Kato nodded, and then turned around and left the office as well.

As a result, the office that is not too big has changed from a dozen people just now to only one Kyoko Kato. The twenty-nine-year-old and dozens of months woman, with a smile on her face, sat back in her place silently, stared at the door with deep eyes, and muttered: "The stage has been set up, and next, it is time to test the skills of the actors." Let me see how much of a surprise you can give me, the game design of the future...... master？ ”

……

The words are divided into two ends, and after Jiang Yu changed into clothes and walked out, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and pulled over a waiter who was more familiar on weekdays, ready to ask what was going on. As a result, the other party looked at him in surprise, and the gaze seemed to say, "You don't even know this?" ”

Jiang Yu nodded honestly, shrugged his shoulders, and showed a slightly helpless smile.

He thought he could get the answer, but he found that the other party had an expression as if he suddenly remembered something, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and pretended to say mysteriously: "Anyway, Jiang Jun, you will know later, now...... Why don't you go to your 'stage' first? After all, it's not too early. ”

After saying that, the other man waved goodbye and began to go about his own work.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu was a little sluggish and occupied the spot for a moment, and after cleaning up the emotions of crying and laughing in his heart and the vague conjecture in his heart, he stepped towards his usual position, which had been decorated.

Probably what's going on, right?

He thought.

After sitting down in front of the piano, just after brewing his emotions and preparing to start playing, a figure suddenly walked on the stage, but it made him retreat from the state of "heart like water".

The maid outfit and bob head are exactly what Megumi Kato is going to dress up like this today for some reason.

While secretly sighing that his cultivation was not enough to get home, Jiang Yu looked at Megumi Kato, who was silently walking to his side, probably a little in front of the center of the stage, with a little curiosity, and secretly wondered what this girl who usually had no sense of existence was going to do today.

Subsequently, Jiang Yu, who found the microphone in the other party's hand, had his pupils shrunk, and his face showed an undisguised expression of shock.

And the next scene was just as he thought.

Megumi Kato, with a voice that was a little higher than usual, and a tone that lacked emotion as always, said with a flat expression, "Welcome to our store tonight." Through the publicity work of the past few days, I think you also know that there will be a small event here tonight. ”

Speaking of which, Megumi Kato paused, giving the group of guests time to react. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the guests, who would only come here for a while tonight, whispered to the people around them. After getting the answer, everyone couldn't help but show a look of surprise and a little expectation.

Megumi Kato, who was able to see the reactions of the people around her, continued to speak out when she saw this: "Yes, due to some personal reasons, the luthier who has been in charge of the evening piano performance at our store since a month ago - the one who is sitting here now - will leave after today. ”

After this sentence fell, the café became silent for a moment, and most people seemed to have heard the news for the first time, and they were somewhat unprepared. And some of the quick-witted guests also guessed some of the facts through the notice of recruiting pianists posted before, but after they were really confirmed, they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

And this kind of emotion comes from Jiang Yu's usually good piano performance. Most of the people who come here in the evening, except for some people who talk about things, are just to enjoy the quiet atmosphere here, and Jiang Yu's performances on weekdays add a bit of artistic conception to this atmosphere.

Megumi Kato did not wait for the guests present to react this time, but went straight to continue: "Therefore, after consideration and discussion, Ms. Kato decided to hold a small concert tonight, which is considered to be more than a month...... Fate, draw a full stop......"

At the end of the recitation, Megumi Kato's expression seemed a little unnatural, and his tone seemed a little strange, but he still read it smoothly.

And Jiang Yu, who was behind his side, reacted a little subtlely. He lowered his head slightly, listening to the lines of shame coming out of the other party's mouth, and once again confirmed in his heart that a ridiculous remark that he had already known in his previous life was indeed the truth: whether it was otaku or not, everyone in this country and this nation was a middle two disease!

How can anyone hear such words and still show a deeply sympathetic expression? Aren't you all a little ashamed?!

Roaring like this in his heart, Jiang Yu was still trying to keep calm on his face. Because as expected, the next thing is ...... Kyoko Kato specially arranged a sho time for him.

“…… Next, please enjoy the ...... of ginger Well, this pianist, Mr. Brought to play. ”

Hey, you almost said a crosstalk, didn't you, Kato? Yes!

In the face of the girl's jerky hosting skills, the guests in the café showed enough tolerance. And their reaction also has some meaning.

From a little curiosity at the beginning, it turned into an interesting host who had never seen this style in the back, and finally applauded quite face, and welcomed Jiang Yu's next performance with a little expectation.

After finishing speaking, Megumi Kato left the scene and completely handed over the stage to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu, who didn't know how many times he had complained about the copywriting involved in this event, saw that he could only immediately pack up his inner emotions, take a deep breath several times, and gently put his fingers on the black and white piano keys.

Due to tonight's activities, the lights elsewhere in the café were deliberately asked by Kyoko Kato to lower the brightness, and therefore, under the light that was a little brighter in the center of the stage than elsewhere, Jiang Yu instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Yu was not in a hurry.

Although tonight's event caught him off guard, he didn't have any flustered emotions when he prepared the song at the beginning. Therefore, some of the reactions that Kato Kyoko expected at the beginning that might occur in young people of this age should be invisible to Jiang Yu today.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yu's fingers pressed the first note with a slight force.

He was going to change the order he had prepared a little bit, and the piece that was supposed to be played at the end was placed in the first piece.

Generally speaking, when it comes to classic piano repertoire, most people may immediately think of those names that can be regarded as shining in even the long history of music in the whole world. And for modern and especially contemporary musicians, there is really not much to know.

The piano piece that Jiang Yu is playing belongs to one of the masterpieces of a contemporary musician who is active in the previous world.

The truth that you leave – the fact that you leave, or translated as the truth you left behind, depends on how the person listening to the music will interpret it.

This is a classic piano piece by a master's student at National Taiwan University in the last world, Pianoboy - formerly known as Gao Zhihao.

To say that it is a classic, not because of how powerful the piece is in the professional field, but because of its audience.

This musician's works are very personal, they are all pianos with very simple melodies, and there are no magnificent techniques like masters, and anyone with a certain piano foundation can play them. However, it is not easy for a simple melody to be so likable.

His works are only spread on the Internet, and he has won the support of many netizens, and he is very well-known in the niche area.

It's like this song, many people have probably heard it in hotels, shopping malls and other places, but they haven't taken the initiative to find its name. When I was suddenly recommended by a cloud music in the future, the feeling of an unexpected encounter really made my heart tremble.

Well, Jiang Yu said that he was himself in the last world.

The whole song is filled with a melancholy and sad atmosphere, which makes people quiet and stable, and expresses the feelings and meanings in the hearts of every listener.

Jiang Yu's subordinates played unhurriedly, as if they were an old man babbling about his own mistakes in the old days; The audience listened without arrogance, as if they were children gathered under the old locust tree on a summer afternoon, with popsicles in their mouths, listening to the old people playing chess, and the young stories that were inadvertently revealed.

This song has such a peculiar magic. Whether it can take you back to the green years, or go against the tide to the innocent years, it is in the simple melody that is constantly repeated, giving many people an indescribable wonderful power.

Jun asked that the return date was not scheduled, and the night rain in Bashan rose in the autumn pool.

This is the first time Jiang Yu heard this song in the last world, and after a moment of downtime in his mind, a poem suddenly appeared.

The rhythm of the tide, not fast or slow, lingers in the atrium, knocking, touching the tender sorrow in the heart, listening to it alone, as if giving birth to a bleak feeling like the autumn wind rolling up the withered yellow leaves, swaying with the wind.

And there is another interesting deed about this song. Originally, I was going to release this piece as a song, but in the end, because I didn't find a suitable lyrics, I ended up releasing only such a piano version.

After this version was released on the Internet, it quickly received unanimous praise from many people. Later, there were also many musicians who tried to fill in the lyrics according to this song, but until Jiang Yu came to this world, there was no one that could make most people agree with the lyrics.

He was going to put this piece at the end to play, which was also a good time. After all, it's his farewell track, isn't it? And Jiang Yu, who has planned his future schedule, should rarely have the opportunity to play the piano every day like this except for the reason of the game soundtrack......

At least, that's what he thought.

……

Kyoko Kato sat in the office, listening to the soothing tunes coming in from outside, and couldn't help but put down some of the simple work at hand and listened carefully.

First Reaction: Haven't heard of it. Okay, original new song.

Second reaction: It's nice to hear, but it shouldn't be too difficult in terms of technique...... Wait, in this way, this kid is really prepared for tonight?

Kyoko Kato, who wanted to see if Jiang Yu would be frightened by such a slightly formal atmosphere, couldn't help but sigh rather regretfully.

Then, she smiled a smile of slight relief. The establishment of relationships between people is never a one-way process. Jiang Yu's unhurried appearance at least shows that even if she is not prepared today, he is prepared.

A feeling that the effort has been rewarded, or that the harmonious relationship between each other has been valued, makes Kyoko Kato quite gratifying.

As the sound of the piano slowly deepened, Kato's eyes also deepened, as if she began to recall her student days, and even more distant good times.

……

Megumi Kato sat silently under the stage, looking at the boy who seemed to be glowing on the stage with a slightly surprised gaze.

Musicians, even non-professionals, are not surprised to come up with a beautiful track once in a while. But if you want to maintain high production and high quality all the time, it is quite difficult.

And Jiang Yu's actions in the past month or so - although he himself does not have this consciousness - just deserve the identity of a so-called genius musician.

Megumi Kato, who is not a professional, naturally can't tell if this piece uses any superb skills. But for a layman, good and durable are probably the main factors in their evaluation of a tune.

Unfortunately, this piece can be regarded as one of the works that has reached the pinnacle of these two aspects.

However, Megumi Kato, who listened carefully to the piano solo, also subconsciously compared another piece that Jiang Yu had played before, and then silently came to a conclusion - sure enough, she still preferred the piano piece called "Canon".

……

Kasumigaoka Shiyu also came here silently today. As one of the regular customers who visited the store as soon as it opened, she certainly had an eye on it. Not to mention, she later met a junior she was interested in and found inspiration for her own new book.

Well...... Although the inspiration was later killed by her editor for some such and such reasons, this does not prevent this literary girl from having a deep love for this café with her in every sense.

And now, looking at Jiang Yu playing on the stage, the eyes of the black girl suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of some good idea......
