Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

As she watched him wave at her, her face couldn't help but beam with joy and delight.

The initial tension melted away quickly, like winter snow under the blazing sun, and the body felt incredibly relaxed in an instant.

The stage lights gradually came on, illuminating the entire stage in a dreamlike and dazzling way.

The audience's eyes were all focused on the black grand piano in the center of the stage, anticipating the music that was about to begin.

Meanwhile, Hina Watanabe, standing next to the piano, was wearing a light blue dress.

She adjusted her posture, then gently raised her hands, ready to begin her performance.

As Hina Watanabe's fingertips danced lightly across the keys, beautiful piano music began to play.

The music was like a babbling brook, clear and melodious, and like a mountain breeze, gentle and profound.

The audience was deeply captivated by the beautiful melody, as if they were in a dreamlike musical world.

Each note was like a sprite, leaping through every corner of the venue, bringing a sense of joy and tranquility.

Hina Watanabe's playing technique is skillful and exquisite, expressing the emotions in the music to the fullest.

As the performance gradually reached its climax, the music became even more passionate and intense, as if pouring out all the love in one's heart.

Even Watanabe's parents, who were piano masters, were wide-eyed with amazement and were deeply moved by the music, their hearts filled with shock and surprise.

The two of them originally thought they were bound to lose to the previous champion in this competition.

But I never expected my daughter to be in such a good mood today?

I've never been able to play such difficult pieces this well before, have I?

But this time, the performance was so perfect and full of emotion?

With that kind of performance, he could definitely have won first place!

As the song ended.

The applause on stage was even louder than when Sanae Tachikawa finished playing.

Hearing their applause, Watanabe Hina finally released the keys with a sense of satisfaction; such a perfect performance was beyond her expectations.

Unable to contain her joy, Watanabe Hina bowed politely to the audience on stage before quickly picking up her dress, wanting to go find Kamishiro Hakufeng immediately!

However, when she got there, she couldn't help but frown, only to find that Nagasawa Yui had taken her seat.

When Nagasawa Yui noticed Watanabe Hina running back to look at her seat, she knew that Hina wanted to sit back down, so she quickly returned the seat to her: "You're back. Come sit down and rest for a bit."

Watanabe Hina paused for a moment, then nodded and sat back down.

After sitting down.

Chitanda Mirai clasped her hands together, smiled, and exclaimed in admiration:

"Watanabe-senpai played very well just now."

"I could even feel the emotions in the music just now."

Yui Nagasawa nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, although I don't really understand."

"But I also think it sounds very good, even better than the previous girl's playing."

Although Junko Urahara didn't understand, she nodded and said:

"Yes!"

Maki Mizuno also said:

"It really sounds great."

Watanabe Hina was happy to hear what the others were saying, but more than them, she wanted to hear what Kamishiro Hakufu thought.

So she looked at Shiro Kaede with anticipation.

Kamishiro Shirofumi's feelings were similar to theirs, and he said with a sincere expression:

"It sounds really good."

"At least in my personal opinion, it sounds much better than the previous girl who won the championship."

Watanabe Hina's face beamed with joy as she smiled sweetly:

"Thank you."

Maki Mizuno asked curiously:

"Watanabe-senpai, are you confident you can get a good ranking this time?"

Hina Watanabe blinked, then shook her head and said:

"I am not sure as well."

"Because the judges for each piano competition are slightly different."

"And each of them has a different scoring standard."

"Some people think you play well, but others think others play better."

"So, assuming the contestants don't make any mistakes, the ranking is basically based on the judges' preferences."

Maki Mizuno pondered for a moment and said:

"So this is ah."

Nagasawa Yui said helplessly:

"Indeed it is."

"So a lot of the time, award ceremonies are decided by the judges' opinions."

"Even if this movie is heavily criticized, it will still be able to take first place."

Watanabe Hina shook her head and smiled:

"But it's alright."

"Anyway, what I care about is your feelings."

"As for the judges and the first place winner, I don't really care."

Chitanda Mirai said in surprise:

"It seems that you are a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune."

Watanabe Hina softly denied it:

"I wouldn't say I'm indifferent to fame and fortune."

"I simply enjoy playing the piano, that's why I play it."

"I've never thought about getting any ranking."

"If my parents hadn't wanted me to come, I probably wouldn't have come."

Yui Nagasawa said with satisfaction:

"That's a great attitude."

Then, after all the other contestants had finished their performances on stage.

The piano competition finally reached the awards ceremony.

After discussion among the judges.

The list of winners has been confirmed.

After the host received the award, the presentation of the prize began.

"Now, let's announce the top three winners."

Hearing the host begin presenting the awards, Chitanda Mirai and the others became somewhat expectant.

After all, who wouldn't want their good friend to win an award?

Meanwhile, Tachikawa Sanae on the other side also inexplicably became nervous.

Because no matter what, my cousin is also a contestant.

She also hoped to achieve a good result.

Although we won the championship last time.

However, this time, the senior student on Kamishiro's side was too amazing.

Even she could tell that the senior student played really well.

Therefore, she dared not guarantee that her cousin would win the championship again.

"Third place: Arisaki Yoshinaga!"

She breathed a slight sigh of relief when she heard that her cousin hadn't gotten third place.

But that's all.

Then she became even more nervous.

Because the awards ceremony for the champion and runner-up is about to begin.

Sanae Tachikawa's cousin, Yuzuki Tachikawa, was even more nervous and gripped her cousin's hand tightly.

"Second place: Tachikawa Yuzuki!"

Upon hearing this, Tachikawa Yuzuki was stunned for a long time, then let out a long sigh and smiled helplessly:

"It definitely deserves second place."

"That Watanabe Hina definitely plays much better than me."

Although Tachikawa Sanae knew this would be the outcome, she still felt a little regretful. She gently patted her cousin's hand and comforted her:

"It's fine."
