A little bit better

The way to eat in Western restaurants is not the same, but depends on various types of Western food.

For example, French and Western food have strict requirements for various cuisines.

However, Kurosawa Hikaru and the others didn't know much about this aspect. They just took the menu and clicked on whatever names they were interested in.

In the seat, he was alone on one side, while Chizuru Ninomiya and Runa Igarashi were on the opposite side.

"Brother Guang, I'm done."

After placing the order, Kurosawa Hikaru noticed that his phone was vibrating. He took it out and took a look. It was a message from Yuki-chan.

"It's so late, have you had dinner?" Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised and replied.

"Not yet. I'm on the subway and ready to go home to eat. How about you?"

"I'm having dinner with the teacher."

"You have such a good relationship with your teacher~"

"Fortunately, I'll contact you when I get back." Kurosawa Hikaru looked at it twice, unsure of the tone and inner thoughts of this sentence, so he just thought about it and replied.

"Uh-huh."

As he pressed his cell phone, the two people opposite him didn't know what he was doing, but they didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, in front of the grand piano not far away, a man in a formal dress lowered his hands and began to play piano music.

As soon as the fingers fell lightly, the quiet and soft sound of the piano resounded.

"City in the sky?"

Just the prelude, Ninomiya Chizuru recognized the track and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't look back, just looked at her, and found that her eyes and sight were involuntarily attracted to her.

Her side face is very beautiful. She is holding her face gently with one hand. On her delicate face, the rimless glasses are very light. The beautiful eyes behind the lenses are staring.

Obviously, as Ms. Runa said, she likes piano, but did not study due to family reasons, but this does not affect her love at all.

The piano music of City in the Sky is also a well-known piece for Neon people.

Because of Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Castle in the Sky", more people know this piano music.

In fact, compared to the West, people in Asia have less exposure to piano music because there are a variety of musical instruments.

"You play really well, what do you think, Kurosawa?"

Igarashi Runa was not so easily attracted. She just looked at him for a few times and then asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Kurosawa Hikaru responded, listening to the sound of the piano.

"Not bad? This review is a bit average. What do you think is wrong?" Runa Igarashi found it intriguing and asked curiously.

"It feels very restrictive, or stingy?" Kurosawa Hikaru expressed his opinion.

This was the result of what he heard, because as a permanent reward for getting started with piano, he was instilled with music theory knowledge and a variety of classical piano repertoire.

But the standard of the system, even for beginners, is very scary.

"Stingy?" Igarashi Runa glanced at the performer on the stage and didn't quite understand.

Chizuru Ninomiya, whose attention was attracted by the piano just now, also looked at Hikari Kurosawa curiously.

"Although there are piano scores for piano music, the scores are dead and people are alive. They differ from person to person. He doesn't dare to take over the main role and is willing to become a foil, which sounds very restrictive."

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't comment on his skills, he didn't know how strong he was, he just expressed his thoughts.

"That seems to be true...can you play the piano?" Ninomiya Chizuru thought about it for a while and then asked.

Outsiders watch the fun, while insiders watch the door.

Kurosawa didn't say it just now, so she didn't feel much at all, but now after tasting it carefully, it was indeed not as good as the many versions she had heard before.

"I know a little bit." Kurosawa Hikaru didn't dare to confirm, so he could only be modest.

"Could you be saying that because Chizuru is jealous when she looks at her?" Igarashi Runa teased, pretending not to notice.

Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at Ninomiya Chizuru and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"What's the use of being jealous? Didn't you say you know a little bit? Go ahead and play."

"Okay." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded and agreed.

"That's what you said." After receiving his approval, Igarashi Runa no longer hesitated, stood up and walked towards the waiter to discuss the matter.

In fact, when they walked out of the amusement park, the two of them walked a little faster together and agreed on some things.

For example, this restaurant has a piano. If a customer is good at playing the piano, he or she can perform on stage. And the most important thing is that Kurosawa asked Runa to help him find ways to create opportunities for him to play on stage.

"Kurosawa wants to come up and play? What level is your piano level?"

Seeing Runa's action of not giving him any way to turn back, Ninomiya Chizuru was a little shocked and asked.

"Level zero, right?" Kurosawa Hikaru saw her expression and raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

He doesn't know what level he is at playing piano, but he has a sense of confidence that if he goes on stage, he will definitely be better than that player.

"Can you play the piano?"

Seeing that ungrateful look, Ninomiya Chihe lowered her body slightly and couldn't help but feel irritated.

She didn't even notice that after Runa left, her voice and tone became a little more coquettish.

"The purpose of the grade examination is just to prove that a person has reached a certain level and can have better cognition."

Kurosawa Hikaru did not answer the question, but changed the topic.

"Are you trying to say that the grade exam is not important?" Ninomiya Chizuru thought for a while and asked.

Although she has never been to the piano exam, she still knows something about it.

The most important role of the qualification certificate in the grade examination is its professional ability. Being able to obtain the certificate also means what level the person's level has reached.

If you want to perform in restaurants, bars, or various places, the qualification certificate is your pass.

"Every kid in his teens can get level 10." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly.

"That's true." Ninomiya Chizuru felt that it made sense.

Gifted children, as long as they study diligently, can obtain a tenth-level certificate in their teens.

Professional piano practitioners do not take grades, and in their eyes, Grade 10 is just an entry-level level.

"I've asked for permission. When that person finishes playing, you can go up and play one. I'd like to see how well you play."

At the same time, Runa Igarashi came back, looked at the player on the stage, and sat down with a smile.

Piano music is usually very short, about 2 to 4 minutes.

"Keep the headphones for me."

As the song came to an end, Kurosawa Hikaru took off the big headphones hanging around his neck and handed them to Ninomiya Chizuru.

"You don't even listen to music with these headphones." Chizuru Ninomiya took the wireless headphones and took a look and found that they were not turned on at all, feeling a little helpless.

"It's just for decoration, just like a girl's earrings." Kurosawa smiled, then stood up and walked towards the stage.

On the stage, as the performance ended, a waiter came forward and said something to the performer.

Normally, people who are used to coming to Western restaurants won't care if the performers on the table change, unless a famous pianist comes.

However, when Kurosawa Hikaru walked onto the stage, he still attracted some attention.

"Wow, handsome guy."

The foreign beauty glanced at Kurosawa Hikari and praised him without hesitation.

Kurosawa's appearance, clear outlines, and bright red and eye-catching clothes make him look very fashionable and extremely handsome.

"If you want to play the piano, I have no problem with it, but you should know the rules, right?"

As he walked to the stage, the man in front of the piano stood up, walked closer and whispered.

"I wonder what the rules are?" Kurosawa Hikaru was a little confused.

"There are no rules, except that you can't play the same piece."

Seeing that he didn't even understand this, the performer was a little surprised, but he still explained it clearly.

"No problem, what I want to play is not Castle in the Sky." Hikaru Kurosawa learned the rules and smiled.

"come on."

After explaining the matter, the performer patted him on the shoulder and temporarily stepped down.
