Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"I asked Kotobuki-kun...that performance before the graduation ceremony can help us become the temporary keyboard player of the light music section."

Saotome continued to speak. "It's not that I want Kotobuki-san to replace Jasmine-senpai... It's just that no matter what, I want seniors to see our performance and hear me singing that song..."

"I didn't expect that Saotome would have such a willful side."

Natsume Jasmine said softly. "Nanami's attitude has been very tough from the very beginning when we were discussing what music to play during the performance... How could you actually make such a willful decision?"

"I'm sorry...Senior."

"But Nanami is so willful because she really wants to play this piece of music..."

"Hmm..." The girl nodded. "So, what do senior Jasmine think?"

Saotome, who did not dare to look into her senior's eyes, raised her eyes.

Look directly into Natsume Jasmine's eyes.

The nervousness in my heart almost reached the extreme.

"What do you think, Kotobuki-san?"

Natsume Jasmine's eyes suddenly shifted to Kotobuki Hikari.

Chapter 284 The Girl’s Prayer

There is no pungent and unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the quiet ward.

Instead, it is filled with a light floral fragrance that makes people feel comfortable.

The room that originally seemed a little crowded because of the companions who came to visit the patient, at this moment, only Kotobuki Hikaru and Natsume-senpai remained.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but facing the senior sister who had experienced a double blow both physically and mentally, Kotobuki Hikari felt some sympathy in her heart.

It's just sympathy, not any other emotion.

Since we are both keyboard players, we can understand.

I understand how painful it will be for my senior sister to face this fact that she will never be able to play the piano again.

"Thank you, Kotobuki-kun, for agreeing to Nanami's rude request. Your band has been very busy recently...even so, you still took time to have a little fun with us high school clubs."

After Kotobuki Mitsuru gave a positive answer, Natsume Jasmine invited everyone else out, leaving only Kotobuki Mitsuru alone.

He said that he wanted to talk to him alone about something.

Although the girls were very curious about what senior Jasmine wanted to say to him, the senior sister's state at this time made it impossible for them to say no.

While chatting alone, perhaps hoping to get closer to Kotobuki Mitsuru, the senior sister's title of Kotobuki Mitsuru also changed from the slightly aloof 'Kotobuki-san' to 'Kotobuki-san', who is as intimate as Hongxia. Kotobuki-kun'.

"It's a small fight...that's not the case." Kotobuki Hikaru shook his head and said. "Playing with important partners, no matter what you are playing for, is very important."

It doesn't mean that you have to work hard with your band mates to develop it into a career for it to be a 'high school student's fun'.

Whether it's ending the band or the light music club, they don't just want to become a famous band, go to the Budokan, and achieve such a grand goal.

The most important thing is indeed the simple yet difficult condition of 'being with everyone'.

The use of petty nicknames may be just the senior sister's self-deprecation and comfort for herself.

"The seniors' last performance before graduation is definitely something they will never forget in their lives. They don't want to have any regrets no matter what. It is also the most important performance in their lives."

Despite the current situation, Natsume-senpai cannot be on stage with them, which is their biggest regret during high school.

But Kotobuki Hikaru still hopes that their regrets can be reduced as much as possible.

"For senior sister, this is also the most important performance in life..."

Faced with Kotobuki Hikaru's words, Natsume Jasmine's face showed a hint of loneliness, or regret.

"For me personally, that's probably the case."

"Personally?"

"No, nothing."

Natsume Jasmine shook her head.

"Senior, let's be more optimistic...Although your arm is injured and you can't play the instrument...but in the future, if you change your career and become a lead singer, you can still perform on stage with them."

Although they are just words of comfort.

Just comfort.

"Thank you Kotobuki-kun, I will try my best."

A smile appeared on the girl's face.

"But... the ending like this may be a relief for me... although it comes a little too early."

Natsume Jasmine lowered her head and looked at her arm wrapped in white plaster.

I wanted to try to lift it up, but I felt a stinging pain just by moving it a little, and a look of pain appeared on my cheek.

"relief......?"

Kotobuki Hikaru couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words for a while.

"Actually, I like Kotobuki-kun...?"

Midway through her words, Natsume Jasmine's cheeks suddenly turned red. She realized that what she said meant something was wrong, and immediately shook her head.

"No...that's not what I mean! It's not an emotional love between men and women...how should I put it, just admiration...ah, this isn't right...it's just pure envy!"

"Okay, okay, I understand, Senior Xia Mian."

At first, when he suddenly confessed his love and the other party said something like "I like Kotobuki-kun", Kotobuki Hikari suddenly panicked.

It's not that I'm shy because of the girl's words, I'm just simply afraid that if Yili hears her outside the door, there might be a misunderstanding.

"Anyway, it's just out of fans' love for idols, right?"

Kotobuki Hikaru opened his mouth to explain on behalf of the other party.

However, the next moment, the girl on the hospital bed shook her head.

"It's not like that."

"Well......"

Have to admit.

Kotobukiko was a little panicked.

He even had the idea in his mind of throwing the senior sister here and rushing out the door to escape.

But when the girl continued to speak, Kotobuki was stunned.

"By the way, didn't Kobuki-kun recognize me?"

"?"

Qin Chuiguang frowned.

"We know each other?"

The young man blinked blankly.

Then, with a gaze that was not too rude, he glanced up and down at the smiling girl.

"Really... As expected, Kotobuki-kun won't remember a defeated general like me... But that was several years ago."

"Eh......?"

Kotobuki Hikaru just made a sound that had no meaning.

No matter how much I recall, I can't find a familiar figure in my memory.

"Hug...I'm sorry, maybe it's been too long and I can't remember clearly."

Years ago?

At that time, I was so confused that I couldn't remember the things around me.

"Really... I obviously still remember it."

The girl shook her head helplessly.

"Kotobuki-kun participated in piano competitions when you were young, right?"

"Contest?"

Kotobuki Hikaru was even more confused.

"Participated...many times."

"Kotobuki-kun was very famous at that time. He was called a genius boy and won the gold medal in every competition."

"Stop talking...Senior, for me, that is a dark history that I absolutely don't want to recall again."

"Why? Shouldn't it be the most important memory of honor?"

"Because I didn't like myself at that time..."

Although to the outside world, a talented pianist is definitely much more dazzling than the so-called keyboard player of a rock band today.

But for Kotobuki Mitsuru himself, he was always shrouded in shadow at that time.

"I have been learning piano since I was a child, and I often participate in competitions, but every time I meet Kotobuki-kun, I am defeated mercilessly..."

Although she was talking about embarrassing past events, the girl's face did not show a sad look, but instead evoked a sweeter smile.

"Once my parents asked me to participate in the symphony orchestra's recruitment of preliminary pianists, but I was defeated by Kotobuki-kun that time."

"Feel sorry......"

"There's no need to be sorry. I'm not that narrow-minded. It's been a long time."

However, from the senior sister's words, Kotobuki Hikaru found some key points.

"Senior sister, is she also a piano player?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Kotobuki wanted to slap himself.

There are only a few band keyboard players who have become a monk halfway through their careers. On the contrary, most of them started learning piano at a young age.

"My father is a pianist and my mother is a violinist...the two of them are quite famous."

"Natsume...eh? Are your parents, senior, those two famous musicians?"

Kotobuki Hikari looked surprised.

Those two people are celebrities who can know their names just by hearing their last names.

"That's right..."

"It's amazing. My senior's parents are such powerful people..."

"They are the only ones who are great. I did not inherit my parents' talents."

The girl shook her head and spoke with some remorse.

"Even if I practice hard, I still can't meet their requirements... All I have ever experienced is failure again and again."

"My parents even asked me to go to a music university in the future... My joining the light music club in school was hidden from them. Even now, they still think that I am joining the classical music club. Well, even though they also Don’t bother much about my affairs at school.”

Why would senior sister say such things?

To blame the past self?

But from the other party's words and expression, Kotobuki couldn't tell that she had any thoughts of blame.

"I must have disappointed them. Although my parents are such great musicians, my daughter is just mediocre..."

"No way. No matter what kind of person the seniors are, as long as they can live their own lives, they will definitely feel proud."

It's not like he can say this kind of thing.

But Kotobuki Hikaru blurted out these words without any thought at all.

It was obvious that not long ago, I had similar thoughts to my senior sister.

"can you?"

Natsume Jasmine didn't know whether she was asking Kotobuki Mitsuru or herself.

"After I was hospitalized, they only came once... Even though they knew my hands were injured, they still rushed to attend a concert abroad."
