Zongman: There are a few beautiful girls who like me

"Then can you let me write the lyrics for number 4?"

Chapter 44 Himimiya Karen's Request

"???"

"Himemiya Karen wants to write lyrics for 'Number 4'!?"

"How much does this guy like the song "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master"?"

Even with Kitagawa You's temperament, after hearing Himimiya Karen's request, he was stunned for two or three seconds. After he came to his senses, a strange look flashed in his eyes involuntarily.

"I... can also... write lyrics... for No. 5... for free..." At this time, Yumeko Shikiya also spoke up.

What else could Beichuan Yu say? Of course he could only agree.

Anyway, he didn't plan to release these two songs because he didn't know how to change the lyrics. He would give them to Himemiya Karen and Shikiya Yumeko to try out. If they work, that's great. If they don't, that doesn't matter.

"Then I'll leave it to you~"

"Great!"

Himimiya Karen immediately jumped up happily.

The pair of heavy devil fruits also jumped up and down with her movements. Even Kitagawa Yu, who had gained strong self-control after years of baptism by Okita Sayaka, couldn't help but take another look at this moment.

However, compared to Hakamada Sosuke's inexperienced look, his reaction was much calmer. He was just distracted for a moment. So neither Himemiya Karen, who was particularly sensitive in this regard after being seen so many times, nor Yanami Kyouna, who was a bystander at the side, noticed anything wrong with him.

"Then can You teach me to play this song?" Himemiya Karen asked again at this time, which made Kitagawa You, who had just looked away, stunned again.

"Teach you to play this song?"

"Hmm! If I can learn to play this song, it should also help me write the lyrics, right?"

"..."

"Although learning to play the song will be helpful for writing the lyrics, I think you are making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger! Do you know how difficult this song 'Aim to be a Pokémon Master' is?" Kitagawa Yu secretly complained in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

If the playing difficulty of "Sunflower" is 1 star and the playing difficulty of "Romance on a Whim" is 2 stars, then the playing difficulty of "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master" is almost 4 stars.

If someone who has studied piano for four or five years like him were to learn this song, it would probably take him quite a while to practice. How could Himemiya Karen, a complete newbie, want to learn to play this song?

Isn't this making things difficult for Fat Tiger?

At this moment, Kitagawa You looked at Himemiya Karen's expectant eyes like a kitten, and it was as if he saw a guy who always said "I'm curious".

As a strong sense of déjà vu emerged in my heart, my head began to hurt.

"Ah -"

"May I?"

"..."

Kitagawa Yufa Four!

He originally planned to divert Himemiya Karen's attention by playing other songs like he did last time!

But this guy Himimiya Karen had no martial ethics. As he leaned forward, the two heavy devil fruits in front of him pressed towards him!

The momentum is very fierce and brutal.

Unfortunately, Yana saw that the "referee" Xingna was right next to them at this time, so in order to avoid being hit by Himemiya Karen with the ball and causing a foul, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Okay then, but this song is very difficult to play and is not very friendly to beginners, so it doesn't matter if you can't learn it. At worst...at worst, I can play it a few more times for you."

After saying this, Beichuan You couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After hearing this, Himimiya Karen's eyes narrowed into two crescents with joy. Her body subconsciously triggered the skill of dribbling and charging towards Kitagawa Yu.

"This is definitely a case of 'repaying kindness with evil'!" Beichuan You couldn't help but secretly complain.

Fortunately, he had already been prepared for Himimiya Karen's innate skills.

At the same time as Himemiya Karen activated her skill, he stood up from the piano stool, then reached out and grabbed Himemiya Karen's shoulders, using the force techniques of judo to gently press her down to sit down.

"Huh? Why did I sit down?"

Because Kitagawa Yu's operation was so smooth, Himimiya Karen was a little unresponsive when she saw the black and white piano keys that suddenly appeared in front of her.

However, Kitagawa Yu had already withdrawn his hand and started teaching her to play "The Aim is to Become a Pokémon Master", so she quickly put this doubt behind her.

"I'll teach you the prelude first. Look here. Put your left hand fingers on these keys. The order of playing is..."

In Kitagawa Yu's opinion, Himemiya Karen just suddenly became interested in playing the piano and wanted to have fun, but she didn't really intend to learn the piano, so he didn't teach Himemiya Karen how to distinguish which note each black and white key corresponds to. He just taught her in a fool-proof way, telling her which keys to press.

but......

"Who played this? It's so bad!"

On the wooden bench outside the window, Cheng Hai Shengnai and the other two couldn't help but secretly complain.

That's right, even though Kitagawa Yu used a relatively simple fool-proof teaching method, Himemiya Karen still couldn't learn even half of it.

Because the rhythm of the song "Aim to be a Pokémon Master" is too fast, and the span of the piano keys when playing is also very large, which is really unfriendly to newbies who have no basic knowledge.

"What should I do? I feel like my fingers are not enough and I can't press them all!"

After another round of panic, with frequent mistakes from key presses to rhythm.

Not to mention Yanami Kyouna, Shikiya Yumeko, and the three people, Narumi Seina, who were outside the window, even Himemiya Karen herself couldn't stand the noise made by the piano.

The main thing is that it will make her look stupid!

"How about, why don't we change to a simpler song?" Kitagawa You, who had known this would happen, suggested.

“But I really like this song…”

"..."

Beichuan You couldn't help but be speechless.

Do you have to learn to play it yourself if you like it? There is no need for that!

Just like even an experienced foodie doesn’t necessarily have to learn how to cook for themselves!

If that doesn't work, you can ask him to play it once and then let Himimiya Karen record it with her mobile phone.

Although the sound quality may be a little worse, wouldn't it be possible for Himemiya Karen to listen to it repeatedly anytime and anywhere?

However, looking at the pitiful look in Himimiya Karen's eyes, he felt as if he saw a puppy abandoned by its owner on the side of the road on a rainy day, and he really couldn't say these words.

But the problem is, it is really impossible for a complete newbie to learn to play "Aim to Become a Pokémon Master"!

It's just like expecting an elementary school student to slam dunk in an NBA court. It's simply impossible!

However, nothing in this world is absolutely impossible. What he thinks is impossible may not necessarily be impossible.

Just when he was racking his brains to think about how to convince Jimiya Hualian, Jimiya Hualian suddenly thought of something in his head and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ah! I figured it out! It should be okay as long as Yuu plays with me, right?"

Chapter 45 Overlapping Figures

"What? Play together?"

Kitagawa Yuu and Yana were both startled when they saw Kyouna, with puzzled looks on their faces.

Even Yumeko Shikiya, who was leaning against the windowsill and was about to lie down due to the previous noise, turned her head and looked over when she heard this.

"Yes! I play with one hand and You plays with the other hand. I always make mistakes with both hands and I'm too busy. If I only play with one hand, I won't make mistakes anymore!"

"..."

How come you are so smart! ?

Kitagawa You opened his mouth subconsciously, and looked at Himimiya Karen who was getting more and more excited as she spoke, and was speechless for a moment.

Yes, if you only use one hand, it is indeed easier than playing with both hands.

This is just like many people who are using a computer for the first time like to type on the keyboard with one finger.

But the question is...wouldn't this be a bit too intimate?

In this way, two people each play with one hand, and at the very least they have to sit close to each other. If they want to be more comfortable, they can even turn sideways and half hug Himiya Karen!

"Could this guy be doing this on purpose? Could it be that her silly and thick-skinned appearance is all just a disguise?"

Yana, who was standing by, saw a complex light flashing in Xingcai's eyes. She muttered to herself, as if she had gotten to know Himemiya Karen all over again, and suddenly felt like she had learned something.

At the same time, Kitagawa Yuu was slightly dazed and unconsciously recalled the time when he first started learning the piano.

At that time, he was unable to remember the playing order of both hands at the same time. Even if he managed to remember it, he would always be in a mess when playing, and the ten fingers of both hands could not coordinate at all.

Then, Kazuto Sakai's mother, Mahiru Sakai, who is also his piano teacher, will ask him to play together as Himemiya Karen suggested.

When he played the beautiful melody himself, all the depression and frustration in his heart were swept away.

The excitement, joy, sense of participation and accomplishment are completely different from just listening from the side.

Of course, he was younger at that time, so he was the one who was held in the arms.

Later, Sakai and Kanade found it interesting and insisted on playing with him. Later, when his level improved, the two of them even practiced playing four-hand piano together for a period of time.

It's a pity that he learned the piano not to participate in competitions or to perform at parties to attract attention, but just to prepare for making music and forming a band in the future.

Sakai and Kanade were also of aloof and aloof personalities, and had no interest in performing, so even after they had mastered their skills, they had never performed this difficult four-hand piano piece.

"I wonder how she is doing these days..."

Perhaps it was because of Tsukimi Eiko's sudden intrusion that disrupted his original life rhythm. After careful calculation, he had not sent a message to Sakai and Kanade for two or three days.

Unconsciously, the Himemiya Karen in front of him seemed to overlap with the other two figures in his memory, which made Kitagawa You's eyes soften unconsciously.

"Is it okay?" Himimiya Karen asked again nervously.

However, Yanami Kyouna, who was standing by, saw her like this... "Isn't this girl just being a spoiled brat?!"

Kitagawa You came to his senses, looked at the expectant light in her eyes, and finally agreed to her.

"sure."

"Great! I won't make any mistakes this time!"

I don’t know if it was because she was too excited or worried that Kitagawa Yu would go back on his word, but Himemiya Karen immediately pulled Kitagawa Yu to sit next to her without waiting for her to finish.

Then......

"Huh? Is this a new person?"

On the wooden bench outside the window, Cheng Hai Shengnai and the other two couldn't help showing curious expressions as they listened to the piano sound that sounded again after a brief silence.

"Although the piano sound this time is not as smooth as Kitagawa-kun's, it is not as messy as before, so the person playing should have a certain piano foundation, right?"

Cheng Hai Shengnai couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he thought of this.

Originally, after hearing that Himemiya Karen could join the piano club even though she played so poorly, she couldn't help but want to apply to join.

As a result, those who played the guitar so badly seemed to be isolated cases.

"Forget it. I'm lucky enough to hear Kitagawa-kun playing the piano up close. But... I have to come earlier tomorrow!"

When Cheng Hai Shengna thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Shiina Mahiru out of the corner of his eye.

As a result, Shiina Mahiru happened to look over at this moment.

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met briefly and then quickly separated. Although their expressions could not be seen to change due to the masks on their faces, both of them showed a hint of embarrassment in their eyes.

It was like a child who was about to play a prank, only to turn around and find that the target of his prank had been standing behind him the whole time.

It felt like crows were flying overhead, and even the air seemed filled with a sense of embarrassment.

"Shiina (Chenghai), you should (definitely) come here again at noon tomorrow, right?"

Thinking of this, the two people's mood became complicated.

At the same time, in the piano club activity room upstairs, Yana saw Xingcai crossing her arms, looking at the two people sitting in front of the piano playing more and more fluently and in harmony, and a complex light flashed unconsciously in her deep blue eyes.

Especially when she looked at Himemiya Karen's face full of happiness and sweetness, and the longing, admiration and love shining in Himemiya Karen's eyes when their eyes occasionally met inadvertently, she couldn't help but feel deeply envious in her heart.

"It would be great if I could play the piano with Kusuke in a piano classroom filled with the scent of cherry blossoms on a quiet afternoon like them..."
