"Perfect, perfect, Mr. Zero, your piano skills are simply amazing."

"At zero hour, you are now worthy of the name of the master."

"It's different from the original, this is your version."

The judges on the judging bench couldn't help but marvel.

"Mr. Zero, I'm actually a Croatian, I wonder if you can come back and play another song? I'd love to hear your Croatian Rhapsody."

The blonde foreign pianist, through the microphone, spoke.

The reason why he did his best to promote Zero was because he was a Croat, but he was not able to create such a track.

Perhaps this piano piece is far less difficult to play than many piano pieces, but the idea in it moved him greatly.

"Is that okay?"

Hearing this request, Hikaru Kurosawa looked at the host on the side of the audience.

"Yes."

The host got instructions from the backstage through ear monitoring, and nodded immediately.

"Can I play one more song?"

Receiving this agreement, Hikaru Kurosawa asked again.

"It's 8:12 a.m., and until 8:50 a.m., you're free to play, and at the end you have to set aside 10 minutes to announce the final ranking of this competition."

The host heard the instructions from the backstage and responded.

Unlike just now, this time her attitude has changed, and she is extremely reverent.

As long as you know the piano, after watching the performance just now, you know how terrifying the level of the Zero Hour Master is.

The match is scheduled for a time limit and ends at 9 p.m. at the latest.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of promoting the popularity of the competition has been achieved, and even exceeded the expected effect.

"Okay."

With this consent, Hikaru Kurosawa was immediately relieved.

"May I ask you what tracks you want to play?"

The host realized that he was still willing to perform, and asked a little excitedly.

"The first song in the ensuing session was Croatian Rhapsody, and fans came from far and wide to see it played live...... There is also one song, which is also my original track. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa waited for her to walk in front of her, facing the audience, and said through the microphone.

Through Liszt's "The Clock", after tonight, no one should dare to attack his fan base.

After showing his absolute strength, he doesn't need to play difficult repertoire anymore, he can play as much as he wants.

"Master Zero is too fond of fans."

"There's also a new original piano piece, and it's worth the ticket price."

"The Liszt "Bell" just now is worth the ticket price, and even makes a lot of money, you don't know much about the piano, I don't know how exaggerated this piece is."

Shizuka Kitajima was very moved, and when she heard what others said, she explained.

To put it bluntly, after tonight, the name of Zero Hour will truly be crowned as the first pianist in neon.

From tomorrow, no one will be able to question the level of zero hours again.

"Next, please enjoy the original repertoire that Master Zero Hour has given us."

The host also had a showdown, so he didn't pretend to do it, and called the master directly.

Immediately afterward, Hikaru Kurosawa walked back to the piano and sat down.

As he took his seat, the audience fell silent again.

This time, in everyone's eyes, there is no longer doubt, but expectation.

"Oooo

Hikaru Kurosawa's right hand fell, and the sound of the piano sounded in the treble area.

If Liszt's "Bell" is a cyclical and gradual burst out of its due charm.

As a modern piano piece, the biggest feature of "Croatian Rhapsody" is that it catches the ears and bursts out of its charm at the beginning of the performance.

The moment the piano sounds, people will be attracted to it.

Regardless of technique, its impassioned and high-pitched yet steady melody, even though it is a pure piano version, and not accompanied by various instruments like the original, is destined to be an auditory feast under Hikaru Kurosawa's level of fascination and induction.

Different from the classical and heavy colors of "Bell", after everyone in the audience realized the charm of Zero Time, people looked at him again, and it felt completely different.

At this moment, his figure looks very relaxed, and he has a feeling of doing whatever he wants, not being constrained by the world.

The evil and unique appearance, the elegant and confident posture, sitting in front of the piano, striking the keys like a cloud, makes people enjoy it.

Not long after, the song ended, and the Croatian Rhapsody performance came to an end.

"Bang Bang!"

"Woohoo!"

"It's so handsome."

"I have no regrets in my life."

When the song ended, the fans were hooked.

To prove his strength, he played Liszt's "Bell".

To thank the fans for their support, he played the Croatian Rhapsody

Next, it's for yourself.

Hikaru Kurosawa stood up, waved to the audience, and also picked up the microphone to introduce the next track.

"The last piece is called 'Adrina at the Water's Edge,' and it's a romantic piano piece."

His voice was low, he was wearing a mask, and he couldn't see his eyes, but he was facing the audience and looked at Chizuru Ninomiya.

It's just that Chizuru Ninomiya, who was sitting in the first row, could feel Hikaru Kurosawa watching him when he heard the title of this track.

"Did he compose a piano piece for that day, for me?"

Chizuru Ninomiya's beautiful eyes behind her rimless glasses trembled a little, and her heartbeat couldn't stop speeding up and surprise, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness came to her heart.

This feeling can be said to be flattered, and in the face of such a big surprise, even people who are paralyzed cannot contain this joy.

The name is so special that it's really hard for her not to understand that Hikaru Kurosawa wrote piano music for her.

In fact, when Hikaru Kurosawa saw the scene in Mizuyin that day, he had an extremely eager urge in his heart to send this piano piece to Miss Ninomiya.

"What a romantic name."

Hearing this name, Miki Hakuha was a little surprised.

Normally, the general public may not know the meaning of this song, but as a student at the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo, she knows a thing or two about Greek mythology.

The name Adelina comes from a story from Greek mythology.

She was the king of Cyprus, a beautiful maiden in the sculpture.

The king looked at her every day, obsessively, and eventually inevitably fell in love with the statue of the maiden.

Because his love was so sincere that he touched the gods, Venus, the goddess of love, descended divine power to transform the statue into a real beauty and married him.

The moral of this mythical story is a story of going from love to love, and then to beloved.

At the same time, Hikaru Kurosawa sat down in front of the piano again, and as his fingers fell, he played "Adelina by the Water's Edge"

Unlike the previous two songs, this is a romantic piano piece.

As a modern piano piece, it also has a characteristic, which is ear-grabbing.

The moment the piano sounds, the delicate, soft, and calm melody will pull your heartstrings into it.

"What a beautiful ......"

Just in an instant, the heartstrings of Chizuru Ninomiya sank for it, and the memories of that day in the Aji Valley were outlined.

Everyone's favorite music is different and varies from personal experience.

When a piece of music can arouse the emotional resonance of the audience, no matter how difficult the song is sung, no matter how difficult or easy it is to play, it will become one of the listeners' favorite music.

"Wow~"

Yuki Ichinose listened to this beautiful piano sound, and was also intoxicated.

She doesn't know the piano or the notes, but she likes to listen to songs, she loves to sing, and she likes good music.

It was in this way that she was drawn a picture in her mind while listening.

It is a clear and graceful, dreamy and beautiful river.

On the water waveside, a woman stands.

The woman had a beautiful face and an elegant posture, and she should have been wearing a long silk skirt and dragging it on the grass.

In the soft morning light, her presence glows with beautiful and dreamy colors.

Her skin should melt like water, her eyes should be bright, and her delicate and beautiful face should be intoxicating.

And outside of this frame, a man is looking at her obsessively, fascinated by her.

The scene of "Brother Guang's ......" touched her very much, reminded her of her experience in the shoe store that day, and her heart was extremely sweet.

On that day, when she put on her high heels, Brother Guang sat on a chair and looked at her, deeply attracted and amazed by her figure, and her affectionate and loving gaze made her unforgettable for life.

At that time, she noticed this and felt sweet and happy about it.

Now this piano music has once again evoked the memories of that day, which makes her like it very much.

“……”

Miki Baiyu on the other side, listening to the melody that is sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes tactful, sometimes sad, feels the twists and turns in the mythological story, and is deeply attracted to it.

In front of her eyes, the scene of the goddess by the water also appeared.

Other than that, the piece is like a fishhook, evoking memories that she deliberately forgets.

It was in the camera shop, and she entered it under the guidance of the clerk, but around the corner, she suddenly heard the sound of Kacha's SLR shooting, and subconsciously turned back to see the scene.

In a window full of cameras on both sides, on a corner of the road, a man stood with a camera and secretly filmed her.

With her attention, the man lowered the camera and stood up straight.

He was wearing a neat white shirt, his short black hair was well combed, his black eyes were as shining as the stars in the long night, his appearance was very handsome and handsome, and his temperament was elegant and gentle.

It was obviously a sudden candid shot, but after she saw the appearance of the candid photographer, she didn't have the slightest disgust, but became a little interested.

Because his eyes were very clear, and he was even more affectionate, as if he was deeply attracted by her appearance.

The man was attracted by her appearance, and she had obviously seen it many times...... But for some reason, that time left a deep impression on her.

"It's a pity."

Recalling this scene, Miki Hakuha couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

If Kurosawa-senpai didn't have a girlfriend, if she had gotten to know Kurosawa-senpai earlier...... Maybe it would be better.

"Adelina by the Water", a song lasting more than 2 minutes, is not very long, but it is not very short, but it tells a love story with twists and turns, and twists and turns in the process, which makes people feel bumpy.

This story, interpreted from another angle, is a man's longing and eagerness for the lover of his dreams.

"Is that what you think?"

Such twists and turns of the romantic piano music touched Chizuru Ninomiya very much, and even the corners of her eyes were red, and her eyes were deeply attracted by Hikaru Kurosawa, who played this piece elegantly and affectionately on stage, and couldn't extricate herself.

Unlike any ordinary couple, the story between her and Hikaru Kurosawa is destined to be bumpy because of the position of identity.
