"Good afternoon, Kamihara-san."

"Ah, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Kamihara-san."

"Well, good afternoon."

Monday, afternoon.

Kamihara changed into outdoor shoes in the teaching building, and many people greeted him along the way.

"Strange, why are there so many people who have been greeting me lately?"

"This shows that Kamihara-kun is very popular with everyone."

The squad leader who came from the women's shoe changing room, Mizumi Ai carried the instrument box, smiled in front of Kamihara-kun and said, "Kamihara-kun, you have already decided on the instrument you need to practice, right?" ”

"Yes, I think about it, piano, I've already told the minister, and I also learned some music theory on Saturday and Sunday."

Kamihara put on his shoes and went to the 2nd floor of the club building No. 2, the floor of the music club, with the class leader.

"Well, why did you choose the piano?" In the corridor, Ai Minakami tilted her head at Kamihara's side and asked, because the other party was relatively tall, she had to look up.

Kamihara looked at the many students in front of him who were also planning to participate in club activities: "Because I only know this instrument, haha, it seems too tacky to say that, but it is."

"By the way, I heard that the music club is suddenly missing a member?"

"Well," Ai Minakami nodded, explaining, "The piano player in the music club has always been Takigame-san, but since the incident in the cafeteria last Friday... He quit the club, and heard from the school teacher that he needed to study for a while, and Senior Sister Zuo Zhizi has been worrying about this matter. ”

This Takigame classmate is the third-year senior of the student council who apologized to him in the cafeteria last Friday.

That is, he tried to offer a reward on the forum for nine glass information, and the one who prevented himself from joining the club.

He was given a one-year leave of absence by the school for violating school rules.

This also meant that he had to repeat a grade and was affected by his future entrance exams.

This means that he will most likely not be admitted to any good university in the future.

Another student was also punished - that is, stealing Fujino's camera and then handing the memory card to Takikame's student.

The school did not announce his name, but he was still suspended for a month.

Tianhai Qimingyue is really decisive.

When I came to the floor of the music department, the musical instruments made a melodious sound, which sounded quite emphasized by Western madrigal.

The doorway to the music room.

In order not to disturb the students practicing inside, the head of the music department closed the door and walked out.

"Good afternoon, senior sister." Ai on the water was the first to nod.

"Good afternoon." Kamihara Le, who was carrying a school bag, also greeted Ai Mizumi behind him.

"Well, good afternoon, you two."

Standing in front of the classroom is the head of the music department, Tomoko Miyake, a second-year student who is proficient in saxophone.

Everyone calls her a music nerd in private.

Because she probably knows a little bit of everything, but the most proficient is the saxophone.

There are many people who don't know what kind of instrument the saxophone is, but they have definitely heard the sound of the saxophone.

For example, Jami Soul's "she", MKJ's "time", the heat stroke group's "Epic Sax Guy", Kenny G's "Going home......

At the beginning, when Minister Zuo Zhizi introduced the instrument, Kamihara thought that he had never heard any of these songs, but when he went back to check, he found that he had actually heard them all.

And it's the kind that can't be cooked.

In modern times, music seems to have influenced every aspect of people's lives.

"Kamihara-san."

"Yes, Minister."

"You know the mission you need to meet today, right?"

"Finish the little star skillfully, no problem."

Ai Mizumi said with some concern: "Senior Sister Zuo Zhizi, Kamihara-san, this is only a day since I joined the music department, and I want him to complete the reading, technique, and rhythm at the same time... Wouldn't it be a little difficult to play Little Star proficiently today......"

Kamihara didn't think that the squad leader would speak for him... Although it takes a lot of effort to learn these things in a short period of time.

Minister Zuo Zhizi shook his head and said, "There were two days off yesterday and the day before yesterday, which means that Kamihara-san's joining the club is not one day, but three days." If you add last Friday, it's a total of four days. Four days, theoretical knowledge is relatively difficult to remember, as long as Kamihara-san is practicing, he won't be able to complete today's little star's task, right, Kamihara-sang. ”

"Minister, rest assured."

"That's good, today, according to the previous practice, you go to the piano room next door to practice... Let me remind you once again that the music department will accept inexperienced people, but that does not mean that it will accept people who are not enterprising. ”

Zuo Zhizi left and returned to the classroom.

Alas, without showing seriousness with music, it seems that this minister will not accept himself yet.

Sure enough, it's a music nerd.

"I'm sorry, Kamihara-kun, Minister she... There is no intention to target you. Ai Minakami said apologetically.

"It's okay, I know the situation, it's just that the rules of the music department are stricter."

"Well, that's it, but I hope you don't mind." Ai Mizumi, who was carrying a musical instrument case on her shoulder, agreed, "... I can't give you any good advice on piano, I'm really sorry. ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Kamihara said with a smile, "You're busy, I'll go to the music room next door to practice first." ”

"Okay, then I won't bother you much."

"Okay."

Bidding farewell to the class leader for the time being, Kamihara came to the empty piano room next door. He took out his mobile phone, opened the simple sheet music prepared in advance, put it on the piano, and then began to practice his introductory song "Little Star" in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window.

The piano, watching others play on the side, can only see the flowing water and poetry.

This time I got started, only to find out that this piano is so difficult.

On Saturday and Sunday, Kamihara spent two days learning about staves, trying various beats, and learning about the little stars played by others on the Internet.

However, the reality is so cruel.

He was now like an old lady who had never touched a keyboard, knocking and looking.

The order of the music is exactly right, but once the notes are connected, it can't be called a song at all!

There are 88 keys, and different areas are distinguished, just one "do", there are 8 in the whole key!

It's dazzling to look at.

It's not okay if you don't practice, the music department is not the department of Qi Mingyue that can write two articles casually and make a living.

I had no choice but to try hard.

One or two extremely long spaced notes echoed through the classroom as the keys sank. Occasionally, the chorus of the music club next door faintly came through the crack in the door.

Kamihara practiced from three o'clock in the afternoon until half past four, until he felt like going to the toilet, he got up and left the classroom, and he was a little tired from practicing.

He was walking on the road, and he was also knocking on 1155665,4433221 of "Little Star" with his hand, and coincidentally, he also met a person at the corner of the stairs.

"It seems that my brother has chosen the piano." Tianhai Qi Mingyue held the book, his long flaxen-colored hair was over his shoulders, and his deep eyes that were so calm that he had no emotion stared at his floating right hand.

Kamihara quickly took it back: "That's right, but... It has nothing to do with you. ”

......

Tianhai Qi Mingyue did not reply, but turned around and prepared to walk upstairs.

Kamihara Le originally planned to pretend not to see her, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted at her back as she stepped up the stairs:

"Wait a minute."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue still didn't stop walking, and when Shenyuan saw this, he took two or three steps forward and blocked her in front of her.

"Do what?" Tianhai Qimingyue looked up at him above.

“... I... I want you to say a word or two to Jiu Liuli. ”

"Didn't my brother just say that it has nothing to do with me?"

"This... One yard to one yard. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue sighed helplessly, "Brother, do you want my sister not to make you a bento every day?" ”

"That's right."

"Then it's good for the brother to go and talk to my sister by himself."

"I'm sure I said that, but it didn't work."

"Then my brother thinks it's useful for me to go and tell my sister?"

"You can at least persuade her."

"Now brother, why do you ask me to stop my sister?"

"At least this can also make Jiu Liuli not have to do these useless work, your sister is rejected every day, it must be uncomfortable. Qi Mingyue, you definitely can't bear to see this, right? Kamihara tried to explain.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue understood what he meant: "Brother has a good calculation. In that case, wouldn't it be better to take the initiative to accept it? ”

Shen Yuan Le was speechless: "It's not that you don't know, I can't accept it." ”

"Then it's impossible for me to help my brother deal with my sister, and it's impossible for me to have a good impression of a man who rejected me three times."

......

Tianhai Qimingyue's words are a little subtle.

In silence, Kamihara glanced at her delicate face: "Are you angry because of my refusal?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue closed his eyes, and then walked directly around him, and the sound of light pleated skirts and small leather shoes stepping on the stairs walked up the stairs.

Kamihara watched as she disappeared into the gap in the handrail of the stairs above.

Wrong.

Did she reveal her scars in what she said just now?

......

After going to the toilet, go back to the piano room.

Kamihara continued to practice Little Star.

While practicing, he thought about what attitude he should take towards Qi Mingyue, and he was busy until six o'clock.

I didn't think of a way, but he could finally play this tune, and he was about to take this to the minister, and then go home to water the flowers and repair the grass, but he didn't expect Minister Zuo Zhizi to take the initiative to come at this time.

Minister Zuo Chiko pushed open the door of the piano room and approached Kamihara Rakku inside.

"Minister, now you can accept it."

"Oh? I'm pretty confident. ”

Kamihara smiled calmly: "This is called believing in yourself." ”

"Good."

“？ Doesn't it require acceptance? ”

"When I went out just now, I stood by the window and listened to you play by."

emmm......

What is this teacher's habit?

"It's not very smooth, it's a little less calm, and it sounds jerky, but the sound is not wrong. I recognize you, at least you're serious about learning. ”

"Is it that simple?"

"That's it, besides, since you're an official member of the music department, I'm coming to you and want to tell you one more thing."

Minister Zuo Zhizi said, picked up a sheet of music from his hand, and put it in Kamihara's hand.

"What's this?"

"As you can see, sheet music."

Kamihara flipped through and looked at the minister: "And then?" ”

"Turn to page 10."

"Hmm." Kamihara spread out the score and flipped to page 10.

Minister Zuo Zhizi: "This is the piece you need to complete before November 1st. ”

？？？

Kamihara's eyes widened, and he hurriedly glanced at the several pages of music, which was black, and there were so many notes that it was terrifying, "Minister, make no mistake, I'm just a newcomer, and you just learned to drill wood for fire, and you want me to build a rocket?" ”

"I can't say that, it's more appropriate to use the metaphor of building an atomic bomb." Miyake Sachiko supported her waist with one hand and smiled optimistically.

"Does it make a difference?"

"The difference is that you only need to build a rocket to land on the moon, but you need more than one atomic bomb."

“......”

There is more than one piece of music that is so emotionally difficult......

"Okay, no more nonsense, let me tell you about the predicament we are facing at the moment."

Miyake Sachiko pointed to the sheet music in his hand, "In November, the cultural festival will not only be visited by students, but also by nearby residents...... It's October, and according to the original plan, we will practice all the pieces within this month, but now Takida-san, because of your business, is on leave, and the pianist is vacant. ”

Obviously, it's because he's collecting information about Jiuliuli casually.

Why did you get him out of school by yourself......

Wait a minute!

No wonder the group of students suddenly saw that they were all about to say hello, I see.

"There are no other pianists in the music department?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Me."

"Then how about you play the piano, Minister?"

"Yes, Kamihara-san will play the saxophone."

"You don't need me, you can find someone else who knows how to play the saxophone."

Miyake Sachiko's eyebrows couldn't stop beating, "Kamihara-san, everyone in the music department has their own duties, no one is idle, or there are redundant personnel settings, their respective responsibilities, and they have been practicing the corresponding musical instruments since the beginning of the last semester, so as to meet this cultural festival, is it because of this, Kamihara-san, want them to give up their efforts for a whole summer vacation?" ”

"That's right."

"So, you get the idea. Of course, if you don't want to go to school yourself, it's okay to help me recruit a pianist at school to temporarily replace your duties. ”

The Minister's eyes......

Yes, Kamihara understands it.

Everything is understood.

Minister Miyake Sachiko knows Jiu Liuli's private identity, and knows that he and Jiu Liuli have recently spread their relationship at school.

I want to build a line by myself.

"I'm sorry, Minister, Jiu Liuli and I are not the relationship you imagined."

"It seems that Kamihara-san misunderstood, I didn't want to contact Amami-san through you, this is just a suggestion for the difficulties you are facing. Of course, if you can really invite Tianhai to our music department, it will also be a great achievement, her fame is too great. ”

"I'm not going to invite her."

"In that case, Kamihara-san, you can recruit another piano player, or you can work hard yourself, and strive to learn piano level 10 or above in half a month, and then have half a month left to familiarize yourself with these pieces."

"Minister... Aren't you embarrassing me? ”

"Kamihara-san," Miyake Sachiko shook her head, "I'm not really trying to embarrass you, everyone in the orchestra is indispensable, and if you can only barely play at the end of your practice, I will agree...... Even if we make a lot of mistakes, we have to continue, as a member of the club, even if you have only been a member for a few days, we will not blame you for this, everyone is a novice. ”

Kamihara was not running away, but felt that it was really difficult to do, "Can the minister try to pull people by himself?" Or simply revoke the piano. ”

"Have you ever seen a rocket disassemble the engine?"

“......”

Miyake Sachiko sighed and said: "Do you know Kamihara-san, as I just said, to play these songs, you need to be at a level of 10 or above, and if you don't reach this level, I don't think it's any different from you practicing for a month and then playing on the field, anyway, it's all wrong....... And recruit people in this school. In the three days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we tried, everyone tried to contact their classmates, but we couldn't find students of this level...... Of course, we also posted a recruitment message on the bulletin board today. ”

"So, the minister is asking me?"

"Yes, I'm asking you," Speaking of this, Miyake Sachiko completely changed her attitude and said to him in a sincere tone, "If you have the chance, please ask Kamihara-san to help you find it, after all, we don't want this music to mess up, everyone is trying to recruit people, and I came here this time to tell you about this matter." ”

......

The minister left.

Kamihara sat down at the piano, looked at the sheet music placed on the bone-colored keys, and began to think.

At the moment, there are only two options.

First, he insisted on practicing, and he could practice as much as he could with this score.

Second, help the music department find someone.

The first one is nothing more than him playing, and all the people in the music department are finished playing.

The second...

The master-level nine glazes are undoubtedly the best choice.

But.

No, not really.

He can't ask Jiu Liuli.

Although Jiu Liuli will definitely agree, the relationship between the two can be now...

Doesn't this mean that I have begun to take the initiative to accept her?

Go on, and in the future, she will have to take the lunch box she made for herself every day.

It's hell, isn't it!

So so... Seven bright moons?

That's right!

Qi Mingyue can also play the piano, and Jiu Liuli said that Qi Mingyue is only a little worse than herself.

Just ask Qi Mingyue to come over...

As soon as this idea came to mind, Kamihara was distressed again.

Although he and Qi Mingyue didn't get into such a fight.

But when I went to the toilet to meet her just now, I seemed to have just uncovered her scars.

He rejected her confession several times, and then revealed it in front of her.

She was absolutely angry.

Awkward, very embarrassing.

Kamihara Le is now embarrassed on the left and embarrassed on the right, and he is still embarrassed to go directly to himself.

So, do you want to quit the club?

But when I quit the club, I'm sorry for the squad leader Ai Mizumi who tried his best to introduce him!

It's all embarrassing!

My head is going to explode!

Do you really want to go back and ask Jiuliuli?

.....。
