Chapter 197 Kurosawa Hikaru is angry

During lunch break, Kurosawa Hikaru and Miyazaki Yuta came to the central cafeteria.

However, this time they chose a relatively remote and quiet place to sit down as usual.

"Speaking of which, I heard that there will be a performance at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan tonight at Zero Hour. Are you going to go and see it?" Yuta Miyazaki asked as he vaguely heard everyone talking while eating.

"If I don't go, I have an exam tomorrow and I have to prepare for it. How can I have time to go to the show?"

Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head, knowing that he wanted to drag him along and just say it to death.

"Although this is the case, going to a show and relaxing your body and mind is also one of the ways to prepare for the exam."

Miyazaki Yuta doesn't agree with this.

"Why do you want to go see it so much?" Kurosawa Hikaru felt from his tone and attitude that he was going to make a reservation, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Have you paid attention to Zero Hour since then?"

"No, I just watched the video that day." Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.

He was so busy last week, so busy with all kinds of things, that he had no time to pay attention to things online.

"Tsk, tsk, it's such a pity that you didn't pay attention. Especially in the past two days, there have been fierce quarrels on the Internet about zero hour matters."

Realizing that he wasn't paying attention, Yuta Miyazaki couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Fighting? What are they arguing about?" Kurosawa Hikaru asked while eating.

Seeing that he wanted to listen, Yuta Miyazaki thought for a while, carefully considered his words, and then explained to him:

"Didn't Zero Hour become famous overnight with the war song "Croatian Rhapsody"?

Regarding Zero Hour, after his video went viral, he was divided into two factions, which you can understand as support and opposition.

The supporters, that is, the fans of Zero Hour, all think that his piano skills are extremely high and the piano music he plays is very beautiful, and they even tout him as the number one pianist in Neon.

The opposition, that is, piano students, pianists, and musicians, believe that Ling Shi's piano level is no more than this, and that the "Croatian Rhapsody" he composed is too simple, and the difficulty of playing it is at the level of piano level 8 at most.

Even primary school students can play it,

The confrontation between these two factions began to emerge after the video went viral.

And just the day before yesterday, that is, Saturday afternoon, at midnight on his Twitter and YouTube accounts, he suddenly announced that he would perform on the performance stage of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, which is the finals of the Kawai Piano Music Competition and the Neon Division Youth Group.

Closing performance as a special guest.

As soon as this incident came out, the Internet exploded.

Those who supported the group, including fans, YouTubers, and Internet celebrities, all forwarded their support when they saw the news. They all expressed their desire to go to the scene and were very enthusiastic.

After all, their favorite YouTuber and idol will be debuting so soon, and on such a big stage, so they are very happy.

However, those in the opposition were furious because of this incident and directly began to curse and criticize.

Because the value of the Asian Piano Competition is very high, it always adheres to standardization, high-end and professionalism, focuses on creating an international and diversified world event, and strives to create a model for Asian piano competitions.

Although it is not the Asian finals, just the youth finals of the Neon Division, the organizers have invited well-known pianists from all over the world to serve as judges, making it a very professional stage.

Moreover, this competition has always used various professional classics to determine the ranking.

On such a stage, Ling Shi, a pianist who became famous overnight and has no experience or background, even his real appearance, and who is famous for his popular piano, was invited as a special guest.

Therefore, the people in the opposition were very angry and began to question whether the organizer was crazy. They even began to question the value of the competition. Some people threatened that if the decision was not reversed, they would not participate or serve as judges.

And guess what? When the Zero Hour supporters saw them like this, they got angry and started yelling at them, making a big quarrel."

The words were very long, but Miyazaki Yuta was very excited when he said them. He was so happy surfing the Internet these days.

"Is it so noisy?"

After hearing this long speech, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although he had already known from Miss Runa that many people on the Internet were dissatisfied with him, he did not expect the topic and controversy behind this incident to be so intense.

"Tonight's performance will definitely be exciting. There should be various celebrities present. Anyway, I'm going to book it. I want to see the result."

Miyazaki Yuta nodded, very excited and looking forward to it.

He could feel that the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan was absolutely bustling tonight.

To be honest, he was looking forward to the piano competition far more than the kyudo competition Kurosawa was going to participate in.

After all, the intensity of this piano competition on and off the court can be said to be a war.

"..."

Suddenly aware of the struggle off the court, Kurosawa Hikaru fell into deep thought.

In fact, because of his master-level piano music theory knowledge and experience, he knows better than anyone else that the difficulty of playing "Croatian Rhapsody" is not high. It would be too much to say that elementary school students can play it, but it is not too difficult.

However, just because a piano piece is difficult to play, it does not necessarily mean it will sound good.

He originally chose this song just because "Croatian Rhapsody" is very nice and has super appeal and charm to laymen, so it is very suitable as a debut song.

"How about it? Do you want to go and take a look? There should be many stars and celebrities here tonight."

Seeing him lowering his eyes and thinking, Yuta Miyazaki thought he was tempted and was hesitating, but continued to encourage him.

Going to watch a piano performance alone was actually quite sad, just like going to a movie alone, so he eagerly wanted to take Hikaru Kurosawa to watch it with him.

Moreover, if two people experience the same thing, they can talk about their feelings afterwards and have more topics.

"Not going."

However, no matter what he said, it was impossible for Kurosawa Hikaru to accompany him.

"All right."

His attitude was very firm, and Miyazaki Yuta found out that he really didn't want to go, so he had to give up.

"Where are they making all the noise?"

After firmly refusing, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it for a while, took out his cell phone and asked.

"Twitter topic, zero hour."

Hearing this question, Miyazaki Yuta also answered.

"Are you going or not?"

Although there was a privacy screen so he couldn't see the picture on the phone screen, Yuta Miyazaki felt that he wanted to check what happened during the zero hour, and a little hope was ignited in his heart.

"No, I just want to watch the excitement."

Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head, and then started reading on Twitter.

It is worth mentioning that his Twitter account is still his own, not the one he had at Zero Hour.

Because the social accounts of Zero Hour are all handled and operated by Igarashi Runa as the first step of the firm's business.

Seeing that he still didn't agree, Yuta Miyazaki shrugged and said no more.

Holding his mobile phone, Kurosawa Hikaru was very skilled in this area and successfully found the Twitter topic.

These tweets all have special keywords and topics.

The most popular post, with the highest number of likes and comments, was posted by a Twitter user named Kitajima Shizuka.

Looking at the avatar, this is a beautiful internet celebrity. She retweeted Zero Hour’s promotional updates with the following text:

"Master Zero Hour is going to give the closing performance at the Kawai Piano Competition. Please remember to come and see me. I will also be there. See you there."

This post is extremely popular and tops the list of topics.

Seeing this post, Kurosawa clicked into the comments and took a look. Several heartwarming comments caught his eye.

"Goddess, let's see you there."

"I am coming too."

But then, a comment that chilled him appeared:

"Master Zero Hour? Is he worthy of being called a master at his level? You are indeed the same breed. You are just a piece of trash who relies on selling meat to gain attention and play the piano. Don't be disgusting."

"!"

At the same time, Yuta Miyazaki, who was sitting next to him while eating, saw his gloomy expression and couldn't help but trembled with fright.

What a terrifying expression... In more than a year of knowing each other, this was the first time he saw Kurosawa Hikari angry.

…

The afternoon classes are the same as the morning ones. Because the final exam is approaching, the teachers are very busy. Rather than giving lectures, they want everyone to focus on the key points of this exam, prepare well, and take the exam seriously.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, Kurosawa Hikaru walked out of school carrying a shoulder bag and saw Igarashi Runa's car.

Perhaps because Zero Hour became famous, she no longer stood outside the car and shouted, but sat in the car and waited.

The car started. Although the piano competition is currently in progress, the zero hour is after 8 pm and before 9 pm. There is still plenty of time, so I went to the office first.

Along the way, the car was very dull. Apart from the greetings when getting on the car, there was no conversation or communication.

"Tonight is the performance, why do you feel that you are not in a good mood? Did someone make you angry?"
