During the lunch break, Hikaru Kurosawa and Yuta Miyazaki came to the central cafeteria.

However, this time, they routinely chose a more remote and quiet place to sit.

"Speaking of which, I heard that Zero Hour is going to perform at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan tonight, will you go and see it?" Yuta Miyazaki was eating, and he vaguely heard everyone's topic and asked.

"If you don't go, there will be an exam tomorrow, and you have to prepare for the exam, how can you have time to watch a show."

Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head, knowing that he wanted to take him along, and directly told him to death.

"Even so, going to see a show and relaxing is one of the ways to prepare for the exam."

Yuta Miyazaki disagrees.

"Why do you want to see it so much?" From his tone and attitude, Hikaru Kurosawa sensed that he had made up his mind, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Have you paid attention to Zero Hour since then?"

"No, I just watched the video that day." Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head.

Last week, he was so busy with all kinds of things that he didn't have time to pay attention to things on the Internet.

"Tut, it's a pity that you didn't pay attention, especially in the past two days, about the zero hour incident, there was a lot of quarrel on the Internet."

Realizing that he didn't pay attention, Yuta Miyazaki couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Quarrel? What are they arguing about? Hikaru Kurosawa asked as she ate.

Seeing that he had the idea of listening, Yuta Miyazaki thought about it, considered the rhetoric, and explained it to him:

"Didn't Zero Hour become famous overnight with the song "Croatian Rhapsody", the death of the war?

For Zero Hour, after his video went viral, it was divided into two factions, which you can understand as the support and the opposition.

The supporters, that is, the fans of Zero Hour, think that his piano level is super high, and the piano music he plays is super good, and even touted him as the first pianist of neon.

The opposition, that is, the piano learners, pianists, and musicians, think that the level of the piano at zero hour is no more than that, and the "Croatian Rhapsody" he composed is too simple, and the difficulty of playing is at most the level of the piano level 8, and elementary school students can play it.

The confrontation between these two factions has begun to appear since the video became popular.

And just the day before yesterday, that is, on Saturday afternoon, at 0:00 on his Twitter and Youtobe accounts, he suddenly announced that he would end as a special guest on the performance stage of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, that is, the Kawai Piano Music Competition, the final of the neon division youth category.

As soon as this incident came out, it exploded directly on the Internet.

Those who support the faction, including fans, youtober, and Internet celebrities, saw the news, and they all forwarded their support, and they all expressed their desire to go to the scene, which was very enthusiastic.

After all, they are very happy that their favorite Youtober and idols are about to appear so soon, and they are still on such a big stage.

It's just that those in the opposition were furious because of this and directly scolded and criticized.

Because the gold content of the Asian Piano Competition is very high, it has always adhered to the standardization, high-end and professionalism, and has made great efforts to create an international and diversified world competition, and is committed to creating a model of the Asian Piano Competition.

Although it is not the Asian finals, it is only the final of the youth group of the neon division, but the organizers have invited well-known pianists from all over the world to be judges, which is a very professional stage.

Moreover, this competition has always used a variety of professional classic repertoire to determine the ranking

On such a stage, it invited Zero Hour, a piano performer who became famous overnight, had no experience and background, and didn't even know who his real appearance was, and was famous for his pop piano, and ended as a special guest.

Therefore, the opposition people were very angry and began to question whether the organizers were crazy. They even began to question the gold content of the competition, and some people threatened that if they did not revoke the decision, they would not participate in the competition and would not be judges.

And guess what? Seeing them like this, the supporters of Zero Hour also got angry, scolded them, and quarreled with them. ”

These words are very long, but what Yuta Miyazaki said is very exciting, and he has been surfing the Internet for a few days.

"Is it so noisy?"

Hikaru Kurosawa couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this tirade.

Although he had known from Miss Runa's mouth that there were many people on the Internet who were dissatisfied with him, he didn't expect the topic behind this matter to be so controversial.

"Tonight's performance is absolutely exciting, there should be all kinds of celebrities in attendance, anyway, I'm going to make it, I want to see how it goes."

Yuta Miyazaki nodded, very excited and expectant.

He could feel that tonight, the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan was definitely bustling.

To be honest, he was looking forward to the piano competition far more than Kurosawa's archery competition.

After all, this piano competition, the intensity on and off the field, can already be said to be a war.

“……”

Suddenly aware of the off-court struggle, Hikaru Kurosawa fell into deep thought.

In fact, because of his knowledge and experience in music theory of proficient piano, he knows better than anyone that the difficulty of playing "Croatian Rhapsody" is not high, and it is too much to say that elementary school students can play it, but it is not too difficult.

It's just that the difficulty of playing a piano piece does not mean that it must be good.

He chose this piece in the first place, just because "Croatian Rhapsody" is very good, and for the layman, it has super attraction and charm, which is very suitable as a debut song.

"How? Do you want to check it out? There should be a lot of celebrities and celebrities in attendance tonight. ”

Seeing him thinking with his eyes down, Yuta Miyazaki thought he was tempted, and he was hesitating, but he also continued to instigate.

Running alone to watch a piano performance is actually quite a sad thing, like going to the movies alone, so he desperately wants to take Hikaru Kurosawa to watch it together.

And two people experience the same thing, and then they can talk about their feelings and have more topics.

"No, no."

It's just that no matter what he says, it is impossible for Hikaru Kurosawa to accompany him.

"Okay."

His attitude was very resolute, and Yuta Miyazaki found out that he really didn't want to go, so he had to give up.

"Where are they arguing?"

After firmly refusing, Kurosawa thought for a moment and took out his phone and asked.

"Twitter topic, zero hour."

Hearing this question, Yuta Miyazaki also answered.

"Are you going or not?"

Although there is a privacy screen that cannot see the picture on the screen of the mobile phone, Yuta Miyazaki feels that he wants to check what happened at zero hour, and there is a little hope in his heart.

"If I don't go, I'll just see the excitement."

Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head, then looked at it on Twitter.

It is worth mentioning that his Twitter account is still his own, not the zero-hour account.

Because the social accounts of Zero Time were handed over to Ryuna Igarashi to handle and operate, as the first step of the firm's business.

Seeing that he still didn't agree, Yuta Miyazaki shrugged his shoulders and didn't say more.

Holding his phone, Hikaru Kurosawa is very skilled in this area and has successfully found a Twitter topic.

These tweets are all keywords and topics with zero hours.

The most popular, with the highest number of likes and comments, is a tweeter named Shizuka Kitajima.

Look at the avatar, this is an Internet celebrity beauty, she forwarded the publicity news of Zero Time, with the text:

"Master Zero is going to give the closing performance at the kawai piano competition, everyone remember to come and see it, I will also go to the scene, you will see you there."

The popularity of this dynamic is extremely high, and it is at the top of the topic.

Seeing this dynamic, Kurosawa glanced at the comments, and several heartwarming comments came into his eyes.

"Goddess, let's see you there."

"I'll go too."

But then, a comment that shocked him and made his muscles jump brightly:

"Master Zero? His level is also worthy of being called a master? You are really a raccoon dog, don't come out disgusting by selling meat and playing the piano. ”

“！”

At the same time, Yuta Miyazaki, who was sitting next to him eating, couldn't help but be frightened when he saw his gloomy expression.

What a horrible expression...... After knowing each other for more than a year, it was the first time he saw Hikaru Kurosawa angry.

……

The afternoon class is the same as the morning, because the final exam is approaching, the teachers are very busy, and it is more important for everyone to focus on the main points of the exam, as well as prepare for the exam and take the exam seriously.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, Hikaru Kurosawa walked out of the school with a shoulder bag on his back and saw Runa Igarashi's car.

Maybe it's because Zero Hour is starting to become famous, she no longer stands outside the car shouting, but sits in the car and waits.

The car started, and although the piano contest was going on right now, it was after 8 p.m. and before 9 p.m., so I went to the office first.

Along the way, the car was very dull, except for the greeting when you got on the bus, there was no topic and communication.

"It's a show tonight, why don't you feel like you're in a good mood? Did someone you off? ”

Runa Igarashi, who was driving, looked sideways at his face and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

If it were the usual Kurosawa Hikaru with an elegant and gentle temperament, there would always be a smile on that handsome and handsome face, which was very kind and peaceful.

But today's Kurosawa Hikaru looks cold and calm, as if he is a beast that represses some kind of emotion, and it looks a little scary.

"It's okay, you drive first, and then we'll talk about it when we get to the office."

Hikaru Kurosawa sensed her concern and worry, and shook her head slightly, a smile squeezing out of the corners of her mouth.

“……”

Realizing that he really had something on his mind, but he didn't want to talk about it in the car, Ryuna Igarashi nodded and concentrated on driving.

Because it was rush hour, when they arrived at the office, it was already 5:23.

"It's going to be a show in the evening, let's eat something in advance to cushion our stomachs."

Arriving at the office, Runa Igarashi untied the safety belt and got out of the car, which also explained the action matters.

For an important performance, it is best to prepare a few hours in advance, as well as to fill your stomach and adjust your physical condition, because eating before the competition will more or less affect your condition.

In addition, stomach troubles and illness during the performance are also situations that must be avoided.

"I heard that there was a lot of noise on the Internet."

Following her out of the garage and into the hallway, Hikaru Kurosawa finally spoke.

"It's okay, you don't have to care about how noisy those people on the Internet are, you just have to perform well, your level is very strong, and the piano music you play is very good."

Ryuna Igarashi, who was walking in front, stiffened when she heard this question, and then turned around with a smile, raised one arm and pressed it comfortingly.

Obviously, even though she had been talking about good news in the group chat yesterday and deliberately covered up the negative news, Hikaru Kurosawa still noticed the movement on the Internet.
