“Very attentive.”

Xiangzi and Hemu gave their evaluations of the two of them respectively. Inoue Takina had heard this kind of evaluation many times, and she became even more confused. The coffee was fine and the service was very attentive. What went wrong?

"Hey, but why are there not many customers? Business is so bad."

Nishiki Chitsuga leaned over the table, puzzled, and she expressed what Inoue Takina was thinking.

"I have some opinions on this issue. Perhaps your cafe lacks some unique features. I've talked to some coffee shop owners and they say competition in the individual coffee shop market is fierce. You could try to develop into a themed coffee shop."

In order to restore his image as a well-educated and knowledgeable young lady, Xiangzi analyzed their problems calmly.

"Theme cafe?" This was the first time Inoue Takina heard this term.

Mu picked up the conversation, and she replied softly, "A theme cafe focuses on a certain genre, such as a gaming cafe, anime cafe, maid cafe, or music cafe."

"That's right. Just like a music cafe, you can set up a piano. A maid cafe is suitable for shops with many female employees. A male butler cafe is also suitable for shops with particularly outstanding male employees."

Xiangzi glanced at the silent Asano Yushin. In the simulation, she was forced to wear a maid outfit to increase his attack speed and critical hit rate, but she did not see him wearing a butler uniform to increase the sensitivity of her settings.

Inoue Takina pondered, "A music cafe? We have a piano here, but no one knows how to play it."

Toyokawa Shoko was excited when she heard this. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "Where is it? Take us to see it."

Asano Yushin was stunned. This cafe was too frivolous. If no one could play the piano, why buy a piano and put it there?

When he first saw the piano, he thought it was prepared for Inoue Takina.

In terms of temperament, compared to the lively and energetic Nishiki Chitsuka, the well-behaved and quiet Inoue Takina gives people the feeling of a young lady who can play the piano.

"I'll take you there. Takina-senpai and Chizuka-senpai will be entertaining guests, so I won't add any extra trouble to you."

Asano Yushin stood up and planned to take them there himself.

"There aren't many customers. Ruixi, who doesn't drink, can handle it. Compared to the few customers we have now, how to attract a large number of customers is the top priority!"

Asano Yushin was somewhat impressed by the fact that Nishiki Chitsuka could say such sensible things.

"Well, as long as Sister Ruixi doesn't drink, she's more powerful than the two of us put together. She's very efficient."

Inoue Takina then emphasized the value of the concept of "God Doesn't Drink" by Mizuki. Since even she said so, Asano Yushin didn't say anything more.

"Did Ms. Takina say that no one in your cafe can play the piano?"

Faced with Xiangzi's repeated question, Inoue Takina was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Asano Yushin turned around and met Xiangzi's amber eyes, and immediately understood what she was going to say.

Lest Nishiki Chitsuka accuse him of hiding something, he spoke first and said Xiangzi's lyrics: "Actually, there are still people who can play the piano."

"Who?" Inoue Takina thought about it and couldn't find any such person in his coffee shop.

Nishiki Chitsuka chuckled and revealed the answer: "Asano-kun is bragging about himself. None of us can play the piano, and only Asano-kun, who just joined, doesn't know the details. Doesn't that mean he's the one who knows the details? Or rather, he really knows how to brag."

"If I don't tell you, you'll accuse me of hiding something. If I tell you out loud, you'll accuse me of boasting. Senior Qianshu has said everything I know, good or bad."

Asano Yushin was speechless. Why did this guy target him in every way? It was a bit like a boy in elementary school deliberately pulling the hair of the girl sitting in front of him to attract her attention.

"Asano-kun can play the piano?" Xiangzi said something that surprised him.

Didn't you already know how amazing your piano skills are? Why are you still surprised that I can play the piano? Are you really a nerd?

He has already blew himself up, so it would be impolite to keep pretending. Xiangzi really tried so hard to pretend for him!

Wait, in reality, he seemed to have only demonstrated his guitar skills. He had never performed piano. He confused the real Xiangzi with the Xiangzi in the simulation.

Asano Yushin frowned. He seemed to be in a bad state recently. He couldn't tell the difference between virtual and reality. Did Metis give him a deathrattle?

"Well, a little, but not very well." He was very conservative.

Nishiki Chitsuka shouted excitedly, "Great! Our café is saved!"

"Chizuka!" Inoue Takina was worried that her outburst would scare Asano Yushin, lest he misunderstand that she was shouldering the responsibility of revitalizing the entire cafe.

"It's just playing the piano. It can't decide life or death."

Asano Yushin has become accustomed to Chitose's nonsense. If her feminine features were not so obvious, he would have suspected that it was a good friend online who was deliberately making fun of him.

While chatting and laughing, the five people came to the piano purchased in the cafe. Asano Yushin gently removed the cloth on it, and a piano that had rarely been used appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing that Xiangzi was eager to show off his skills, he politely offered him a try and said, "Xiangzi, do you want to try?"

"No, you go first."

Xiangzi's refusal made him feel strange. Aren't you so eager to show off your skills in front of everyone? How could he pretend to be cool after Xiangzi played the piano?

Asano Yushin didn't refuse, "Then I'll give it a try. I haven't played it in a long time. What do you want to hear?"

Nishiki Chitsuka gave up the right to request songs and said, "Takina and I rarely listen to piano music. Even if you ask us, we can't say anything."

Mu has always been a passive person, so naturally he would not answer.

Xiangzi was the first person to request a song, and she chose Chopin's Nocturne.

"Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor?"

Asano Yushin sat in his seat and took out his mobile phone to search for the music score. He just had the skills, but that didn't mean the system could input all the music into his head. If he did that, his brain would have exploded long ago.

"Asano-kun, you can let go of the bullet. If you don't know how, I can teach you. I'll teach you the right hand first."

It was the other way around. Teacher Daxiang really regarded herself as a teacher, but Asano Yushin did not refuse. It was not impossible for Xiangzi to show off in front of others.

He tried the tone of the piano and played a short piece with his right hand following Teacher Daxiang's instructions.

"Very good, as expected of Asano-kun, you have a solid foundation."

Xiangzi's evaluation made him ashamed, and he tried his best to play like a beginner.

He put on an appearance of eagerness to learn: "Teacher Daxiang, I have learned the right hand, what about the left hand?"

Xiangzi smiled faintly, stretched out her hand, and said softly: "Left hand, I am your left hand."

Nishiki Chitsuka and Inoue Takina looked at each other. Was this sentence too ambiguous?

Xiangzi sat next to him naturally, and Asano Yushin understood, and the gentle and sad melody sounded together. The full emotions and superb skills brought the people around them into the world of music.

Jinmu Chitose gently pressed her plump chest and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It sounds so beautiful."

It is the kind of music that silences the whole world when the first note comes out. It passes through all the adjectives in all languages ​​and directly penetrates into the essence of expression. It is the music itself.

Even her fragile heart could feel the powerful emotions in the music and was willing to beat hard for it.

It was so gentle to be able to hear such a beautiful piece of music in her extremely short life. The world gave her such an unexpected gift.

"How many more days can I listen to such a beautiful melody..."

Her murmurs were heard clearly by her partner next to her. She opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Would it be better for Asano Yushin to not intrude into Nishiki Chizuka's life? Inoue Takina pondered this question seriously.

"Hmm?" Her hand was touched, and Inoue Takina looked at the light green-haired girl in front of her. She handed her a note, her eyes full of pleading.

Asano Yushin was a little dazed while playing the piano duet. It was the first piano duet in the simulation. What kind of mood were the two of them in? Their relationship was so special.

The mood and relationship of this real-life duet were very different.

The extremely close distance allowed him to easily smell the fragrance emanating from the girl next to him, and in the music, he clearly felt the indescribable and complex emotions that Xiangzi conveyed to him.

Although it was Xiangzi who was playing the piano with him, his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

A line of lyrics suddenly came to mind: Playing Chopin's Nocturne for you ~ In memory of my dead love ~

Dead love? The first thing that comes to mind is his love affair with Metis, which he buried with his own hands.

But there is more than one love story. From a simulation perspective, he actually quietly gave up or buried one love story after another.

It's worthless, useless, and unnecessary. He is always making choices.

Is he doing well in reality? Asano Yushin was horrified and alert. Everything Xiangzi and Su Shi said to Metis could be accurately fulfilled in him.

He enjoys the girls' ambiguity towards him, but neither takes the initiative nor refuses. He hopes that his life will remain unchanged. But deep down, he desires their bodies and doesn't want them to be conquered by other boys.

Metis was actually me? He broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that he was so immersed in the joy of the simulation that he was almost losing his sense of reality.

In the past, Yushin Asano had nothing, and he had a good grasp of both simulation and reality. Now, Yushin Asano has a lot of skills, but he is timid and only dares to stay in his comfort zone and dares not come out.

If a romantic expert in the virtual world becomes a dull male protagonist in real life, then isn't the simulation in vain? The skills gained are the same as if they had nothing.

For example, if you want to scan the QR code to post "Gun Ge" in the live broadcast room of Diangun, but you are afraid of being banned, you will never dare to post this sentence in your life. What is the difference between that and being banned forever?

Before they knew it, their duet had ended. Asano Yushin was immersed in the world of self-analysis and did not speak for a long time.

Xiangzi was thinking about what he had said. It was a very bold hint. He wondered if he understood it.

Coupled with the piano playing, her unique and ambiguous skill not only allows her to be affectionate and affectionate, but also allows her to convey her rich emotions with the help of piano music. Other girls can't learn it even if they want to. She is simply invincible.

In fact, her fingers don’t have to dance only on the piano, they can also dance on other places.

Shoko Toyokawa glanced at the place where Yushin Asano hid his weapon. It was of sufficient length and thickness to support her high-intensity playing.

She coughed lightly, drawing Asano Yushin's attention to her. Her face tightened, and she spoke in a very serious tone, "Your skills are still a little off, and you keep making all kinds of small mistakes."

"How about this? My teacher is a renowned piano master both at home and abroad. If Asano-kun has time, you can go with me to meet her. I believe that for my sake, she will patiently correct your shortcomings."

Everyone knows what Xiangzi is thinking. Mu looks at her strangely. Isn't it too obvious?

"Hey, I think it sounds good. Are there really so many mistakes?"

Jinmu Chitsu raised a question. She felt something was wrong. If a song with so many mistakes could sound so good, then wouldn't a perfect song send people to heaven?

Has it been discovered?

Xiangzi's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still insisted on her point of view: "Well, laymen see the excitement, while experts see the doorway. It's difficult for ordinary people to hear the difference between good and bad. But I believe that as long as Asano-kun is determined to improve, and studies with me more often, he will definitely gain something."

She looked at Asano Yushin nervously. Actually, he was not wrong. He seemed to be distracted just now and not so focused. There was no problem with his technique, but he lacked emotion.

If Asano Yushin decided not to act, she would say it was just a joke. If Asano Yushin agreed, she would make a fortune.

Her eyes were always on Asano Yushin's face. At this time, Xiangzi swallowed her saliva. She was really nervous. She didn't even feel this way when facing her mother.

Asano Yushin's eyes flickered, and he nodded and responded to her: "Okay, Teacher Daxiang, I'll give you more guidance in the future."

"I'm not the teacher, what a strange title Daxiang teacher is..."

Xiangzi muttered to herself that it was unbelievable. She thought that even if the mood was right, Asano Yushin, who had reached the pinnacle of skills, would not agree to her sudden request. But in the end, he agreed?

Her chest was filled with huge surprise, and she almost couldn't breathe. She achieved such a result the first time she attacked without her mother's knowledge. She couldn't even imagine what kind of progress she would make the second time!

Asano Yushin didn't think too much about it, he just simply rejected Metis's behavior.

No matter what will happen in the future, better or worse, it is much better than standing still and endlessly draining other people's enthusiasm. At least there is the most basic response.

"You play very well, Asano-kun." Inoue Takina stepped forward and offered her praise.

"Thank you for your compliment. I still have a lot of shortcomings."

Asano Yushin felt that he was unworthy of her praise, and that his performance without heart was not worthy of the audience's sincere praise.

"I have a question for Asano-kun. I wonder if it's appropriate?"

"Please say."

Asano Yushin wondered why there was a question-and-answer session after the performance. This was the first time he had encountered this.

"Asano-kun's playing reminded me of a friend who once asked me a question. She made some mistakes in a relationship, but her lover never gave her a chance to make amends. Was this too cruel for her?"

Asano Yushin even suspected that the Feiwu system had accidentally released Metis from the simulation into reality, giving her the opportunity to question him face to face.

But the person asking the question now was Inoue Takina, who had nothing to do with him at all. He didn't doubt it at all and just thought that she really had such a friend who was very similar to Metis.

"Your friend is probably exaggerating, only speaking in ways that benefit them. The reality is, her lover gave her many chances, but she didn't cherish them. Now, when it's too late, she's expecting others to forgive her. Isn't it cruel to her lover for making mistakes before?"

"Only through unforgettable pain will she learn a lesson, even if the price is a life full of regrets."

Asano Yushin rejected this question mercilessly. He seemed to be answering Inoue Takina, but in fact he was warning himself not to make mistakes, to cherish the present time and the people who loved him, and not to let his life be filled with regrets.

"I'm sorry for saying something so self-righteous and pretty."

Inoue Takina shook her head, "No, I think your answer will suit her very well."

Mu beside her seemed to be lost in thought, and finally seemed to be relieved of something. The anxiety and eagerness in her eyes disappeared with a sigh, and the knot in her heart was completely untied by these words.

"Alas, why are we talking about such sentimental topics late at night? Anyway, Asano-kun, you don't need to make coffee anymore. All you need to do is come to our cafe and play the piano. We want to turn it into a music cafe!"

Nishiki Chitsuka casually brought back the strange atmosphere, and it seemed that she had planned to make the cafe a music-themed one.

This is too hasty. Asano Yushin couldn't help but complain in his heart. There must be more than one reason why the business is not doing well. Forget it, just pay the salary.

Xiangzi and Mu stayed in the cafe for a while and then prepared to leave.
