In Tokyo, there is a music girl training system

Mu's mother and father are famous artists! They are almost household names in Japan, but even so, Mu still calls them "Mr."?

Is the other party's status already so high?

"Mutsumi-chan, is there no way for us to help Sakiko? I don't want to see Sakiko go on like this, Sakiko must be in pain!"

The other party has a very high status and position. If even Mu can't do anything about him, then she can't do anything at all. But even so, Nagasaki Shoyo still wants to do something for Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi...we can't help her now." After a moment of silence, Ruoye Mu gave this answer.

Mu knew about the misfortune of the Toyokawa family and Xiangzi's father. In fact, the day after Xiangzi and her father encountered the misfortune, Mu offered to help Xiangzi, and Mu's parents agreed to this, but Xiangzi actively refused.

[Mutsumi, I want to change this through my own efforts. I don't want to tarnish our friendship. So I won't accept any help from you or my uncle and aunt!]

Xiangzi is proud, and she will not accept the help from Mu and his family no matter what. She can work in a telephone customer service company, or accept the training of Lu Yu, but she will not accept the kindness of her friends, because it will make Xiangzi feel ashamed for the rest of her life.

If the previous Xiangzi would not accept help from his friends, the current Xiangzi would be even less likely to accept it. Now that he has Lu Yu by his side, Xiangzi is not far from success. In this case, how could Xiangzi still accept Soyo's help?

"..."

Hearing Mu say that they couldn't help at all, Nagasaki Shoyo's heart trembled. As expected...

The opponent's power was too great, and neither Mu nor she could resist it. But could she just turn a blind eye to her best friend because of this?

She couldn't do it, she really couldn't.

"Mutsumi-chan, is there really no solution?"

"No..." Ruo Yemu replied. She really couldn't do anything for Xiangzi now. The only thing she could do was probably to wish Xiangzi success as soon as possible.

"..."

"No, there must be something we can do!"

However, in response to Nagasaki Soyo's words, Wakaba Mu gave a very realistic answer: "Soyo, none of us can help Xiangzi. Xiangzi's father's situation and the changes in the Toyokawa family are not something we can interfere with. All we can do is to wish Xiangzi the best."

The misfortunes of the Toyokawa family and Shoko's father.

As expected, just as she thought, Xiangzi became a victim of the family.

Just when Nagasaki Shoyo was thinking about how to help Xiangzi, Wakaba Mu's next sentence made her completely panic.

"Besides... Xiangzi is very satisfied with her current life now. I think she doesn't need you to help her, Soyo."

what? !

Xiangzi she...

She actually said in a friendly manner that she was very satisfied with her current life?

Xiangzi, has she given up resisting?

I became a victim of my family and was given to someone, leaving my friends and the band, willing to be the background of that person and play music with him.

Has Xiangzi completely accepted this kind of life?

"Mutsumi-chan, is what you said true? Sakiko has really..."

"Well, Xiangzi told me that she has no dissatisfaction with her current life, and she also said that she will come back after everything is over."

Thinking that Nagasaki Soushi had already investigated everything, Wakaba Mutsu no longer hid it. She knew that Nagasaki Soushi had always been worried about Xiangzi, so Wakaba Mutsu simply repeated to Nagasaki Soushi what Xiangzi had said before, that he would explain everything to everyone.

After hearing this, Nagasaki Shoyo was speechless.

After everything is over?

Wait until the young master from a big family who is entangled with women gets tired of playing with him?

Or wait until he gets a new toy?

Xiangzi must be in great pain now. She is obviously the one who likes crychic the most, but now she has to leave everyone for such a reason and has to put on a smile.

Do not......

As Xiangzi said, we in Crychic share a common destiny and are close friends who will never separate.

Since they were close friends, how could she allow Xiangzi to be treated like this?

No!

She is going to do something!

Even if the other party's background was very powerful, so powerful that even the harmonious family members of the Toyokawa clan would be afraid, she couldn't just watch Xiangzi suffer.

"Mutsumi-chan, Arigato, I understand."

After hanging up the phone with Wakaba Mutsu, Nagasaki Shoyo picked up the document in front of her, and then her eyes fell on the other party's current address.

That person lives there, and so does Xiangzi...

The confused look in his eyes was no longer confused, and Nagasaki Soyo made a decision.

"Sakiko, wait for me, I'll come to rescue you right away!"

Volume 1: Chapter 44???

“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to listen to my performance.”

"The first piece today is the Sonata in B minor."

"This piece is one of the most famous pieces by the piano master Liszt."

Ten days later, Xiangzi's second solo concert was held as scheduled at Starry. Compared to the unfamiliarity and slight nervousness of the first performance, Xiangzi was obviously much more natural this time.

He took the initiative to greet the audience, introduce the pieces he was playing himself, and smiled elegantly and peacefully. Under the dual guidance of Sagi and Touma Kazusa, Shoko's progress was rapid.

Sitting down confidently, Xiangzi began to play Liszt's famous "Sonata in B Minor" with a smile on his face.

"Sonata in B Minor" is recognized as one of the most classic works of piano master Liszt. This piece of music is rated as level seven and is a highly difficult piece of music.

The music begins with a few sols. These opening short notes are quite heavy, giving people the feeling that the devil is slowly opening the gates of hell. After the short notes, it reaches the first climax, with firm, strong and powerful continuous strong notes.

The music brings us a strong sense of drama from the very beginning, as if the whole work is a mystery.

But when it comes to the first theme, Liszt immediately changes to a firm and powerful performance. The musical mood forms a sharp contrast with the first uneasy and wandering introduction. It seems that he has found the true meaning of life and the answers to some questions.

As someone who has experienced great ups and downs in life, Xiangzi also has her own understanding of this song.

From the low tone at the beginning to the firmness in the middle stage, and from the firmness in the middle stage to the high tone of the second theme, the accompaniment of the octave column chords makes the whole music appear very full, broad, solemn and sacred, with a kind of hymn version of splendor.

Then, at the end of the Sonata in B minor, the speed and rhythm gradually slow down, the rhythm of the music becomes wider, and with the flowing broken chords, the melody of the music becomes gentle and melodious.

Finally, the whole piece ends in the soft key of B major, as if Faust and others are relying on divine guidance to embark on the road of redemption.

Snap, snap, snap, snap.

When the Sonata in B minor ended, the audience seats, which were already full and there was not even enough room for people to stand, broke into loud applause.

art.

This is real art.

Xiangzi's performance was so outstanding, so outstanding that even ordinary audiences who did not understand piano could understand the difficulty of the piece and Xiangzi's high level of performance from the "Sonata in B Minor".

Three hundred people.

This time, Starry's performance welcomed exactly three hundred audience members. As for why it was exactly three hundred, it was because Ijichi Starry only let in three hundred people.

If there are more, there won’t be enough room to stand.

Unlike the last time when they used free alcohol, drinks and snacks to deceive customers, most of the customers this time came for Xiangzi's performance.

【Name: Toyokawa Shoko】

[Current piano playing level: Excellent↑ (42%)]

[The target's current favorability towards the host: 86↑]

After Sagiba pointed out a lot of problems last time, Xiangzi worked harder after Ito relaxed well, so her progress was rapid, and now she has reached 42% of the progress.

You should know that this 42% is not a conceptual level in the game, but a real level of improvement.

It doesn't mean that you have to reach 100% to be promoted to master level to be considered an improvement, but every 1% improvement is a real improvement in strength.

Therefore, compared to the initial 42% when the level is now 10%, Xiangzi's level has increased by about %. This % is reflected in today's performance, which naturally brings a qualitative leap to the audience.

"She's improved again..."

Sitting in the audience, Yamada Ryo's tone was filled with obvious surprise and a hint of envy. If the last performance gave her the feeling that Xiangzi was very strong, then this time Xiangzi gave her the feeling that he was untouchable.

Yes, out of reach.

In the field of music, the girl on the stage with a smile like a princess has completely left her and Hong Xia behind.

Professional level.

This girl has probably already reached the threshold of a professional career. Compared to her, his and Hongxia's band only has two people.

It would be great if we could invite this girl. Even if she doesn't want to play the electronic keyboard, we can just use the piano.

"Liang, she's really amazing. She looks about the same age as us, but I feel like she's already as good as the pianists on TV..."

Similar to Yamada Ryo's feeling, Hongxia could also clearly hear Shoko's progress.

"She's already at a professional level, which is different from us."

Hong Xia nodded: "Yes, after listening to her performance, I feel like she is from a completely different world from us."

"It's probably impossible to invite her to join the band, but I kind of want to be friends with her."

At this point, both Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo have actually given up the idea of ​​inviting Shoko to join the band.

The other party's strength and achievements are there, even if they want to invite them again, they should know that they are different.

The other party is a true professional. She may have world-class musicians coaching her, and her goal may have been to show the world her talent from the very beginning.

But they are different. Although they have thought about forming a professional band and although they are very talented, they still lack a lot compared to Xiangzi.

Music is something that requires much more than talent to succeed. Rather, talent is just the foundation for wanting to play music...

"After the performance, I'll ask my sister to help me get to know him~"

-----------

"Mr. Ruyu, I have something to tell you." After the performance, Ijichi Xingge found Ruyu with a serious face.

"what's up?"

"It's about the performance fee."

"About the cost? Is the budget insufficient?"

Lu Yu also noticed that there were more people coming today than last time, so he thought the fee would need to be increased.

Xiangzi's fans and popularity are increasing very steadily, and Lu Yu has no objection to asking for more money.

"Manager, I understand what you mean. How about this? Let's follow the previous calculation method. For each additional guest, I will pay you an additional 5,000 yen for entertainment. Then I will settle this fee directly with you after each performance. Is that ok with you?"

Ichichi Hoshige: "......"

"Well, Mr. Lu Yu, that's not what I want to talk about."

"What's that? Is 5,000 yen not enough? What about 6,000?"

"no......"

Ichichi Xingge quickly interrupted Lu Yu.

"What I want to say is that the money you gave me before may not be used up..."

Lu Yu was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"It's just... some of the audience thought your sister's performance was so outstanding that they were lucky to watch such an excellent performance without paying a penny. You also provided free drinks, beverages and snacks, which was a bit too much for them to bear. So..."

After a pause, Ichichi Hoshige said something that even she herself could not believe: "Some guests said that they must pay for the tickets and related expenses themselves, and then they asked me to ask how much your sister's performance ticket cost so that they can pay you."

Lu Yu: “????”

ah? ? ? ?

Volume 1: Chapter 45 I think it’s not bad?

"what?"

“The guests want to pay voluntarily?”
