Chapter 197
During the lunch break, Kurosawa Hikaru and Miyazaki Yuta came to the central cafeteria.

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

"Speaking of which, I heard that there will be a performance at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan at zero o'clock tonight, do you want to go see it?" Yuta Miyazaki asked while eating, vaguely hearing everyone's topics.

"No, I have an exam tomorrow, and I have to prepare for the exam. How can I have time to watch the performance?"

Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head, knowing that he wanted to drag himself along, and just uttered the words to death.

"Although this is the case, going to the performance and relaxing is also one of the ways to prepare for the exam."

Yuta Miyazaki didn't quite agree with this.

"Why do you want to see it so much?" From his tone and attitude, Kurosawa felt that he was going to make an appointment, so he couldn't help being curious.

"Since then, have you paid attention to the zero hour?"

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

Last week, he was so busy that he was so busy with all kinds of things that he didn't have time to pay attention to things on the Internet.

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that you didn't pay attention, especially in the past two days, there have been a lot of quarrels on the Internet about the zero hour matter."

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

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

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

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

For Zero Hour, after his video went viral, he was divided into two factions, which you can understand as supporters and opponents.

The supporters, that is, fans of Zero Hour, all think that his piano level is super high, and the piano music he plays is super nice, and they even tout him as the number one neon pianist.

Opponents, that is, people who learn piano, pianists, and musicians, think that the piano level of Zero Hour is no more than that, and his "Croatian Rhapsody" is too simple, and the difficulty of playing it is at the level of the eighth grade of piano. Elementary school students can play,

The confrontation between these two factions began to appear after the video became popular.

And just the day before yesterday, that is, Saturday afternoon, at zero o'clock on his twitter and youtobe accounts, he suddenly announced that he would be on the performance stage of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, which is the Kawai Piano Music Competition, the final of the neon division youth group Closing performance as a special guest.

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

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

After all, they are very happy that their favorite YouTubers and idols are about to make an appearance so soon, and they are still on such a big stage.

It's just that those people in the opposition were furious because of this matter, and directly cursed and attacked.

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

Although it is not the Asian finals, but only the youth group finals of the Neon Division, the organizer has invited well-known pianists from all over the world as judges, and it is a very professional stage.

Moreover, this competition has always used various professional classic repertoires to determine the ranking

On such a stage, Ling Shi, who became famous overnight, has little experience and background, and doesn't even know who he really looks like, and is also a pianist who is famous for his popular piano, was invited as a special guest to end the curtain.

Therefore, the opposition people were very angry and began to question whether the organizer was crazy.They even began to question the gold content of the competition, and some people threatened that if the decision was not revoked, they would not participate in the competition and would not be judges.

And guess what?Seeing them like this, the zero-hour supporters were also angry, and they scolded and quarreled with them. "

It was a long speech, but what Miyazaki Yuta said was very exciting. He was so happy to surf the Internet these days.

"Is it so noisy?"

After hearing this long speech, Kurosawa couldn't help being a little surprised.

Although he knew that many people on the Internet were dissatisfied with him from Miss Runai, but he did not expect that the topic behind this incident would be so heated.

"Tonight's performance is absolutely wonderful. There should be various celebrities present. Anyway, I'm going to make a reservation. I want to see how it turns out."

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

He could feel that tonight, the Tokyo Cultural Hall was absolutely bustling.

To be honest, his expectation for the piano competition is far higher than the bow competition that Kurosawa is going to participate in.

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

"..."

Suddenly aware of the struggle outside the field, Kurosawa was lost in thought.

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

It's just that the difficulty of playing a piano piece doesn't mean it must be good.

He chose this song at the beginning, just because "Croatian Rhapsody" sounds good, and for laymen, it has super attractiveness and charm, so it is very suitable as a debut song.

"How about it? Do you want to go and see it? There should be many stars and celebrities present tonight."

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

Going to watch a piano performance alone is actually a sad thing, like going to a movie alone, so he desperately wants to take Hikaru Kurosawa to watch it together.

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

"Don't go."

It's just that, despite what he said, Kurosawa would not be able to accompany him.

"Ok."

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

"Where are they arguing?"

After resolutely refusing, Kurosawa thought about it, took out his phone and asked.

"Twitter topic, zero hour."

Hearing this question, Miyazaki Yuta also answered.

"Are you going or not?"

Although it is said that there is an anti-spy screen that cannot see the screen on the phone screen, Miyazaki Yuta felt that he wanted to check what happened at zero hour, and a little hope was ignited in his heart.

"No, I'm just watching the excitement."

Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head, then started watching on Twitter.

It is worth mentioning that his Twitter account is still his own, not that of Zero Hour.

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

Seeing that he still didn't agree, Miyazaki Yuta shrugged and didn't say any more.

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

These tweets all have zero-time keywords and topics.

The most popular post with the highest number of likes and comments was posted by a Twitter host named Shizuka Bei Dao.

Look at the avatar, this is an internet celebrity beauty, she reposted the promotional news of Zero Hour, and the accompanying text is:
"Master Zero Hour is going to give a closing performance at the Kawai Piano Competition. Remember to come and see me. I will also be there. See you there."

The popularity of this news is extremely high, and it is at the top of the topic.

Seeing this post, Hikaru Kurosawa clicked into the comments to take a look, and several heart-warming comments came into his eyes.

"Goddess, let's see each other."

"I'll go as well."

But then, a comment that chilled him appeared:

"Master Zero? His level is also worthy of being called a master? You are indeed the same breed, so don't come out disgusting people relying on garbage that sells meat and eyeballs and plays the piano."

"!"

At the same time, Yuta Miyazaki, who was sitting next to him eating, couldn't help but tremble all over when he saw his gloomy expression.

Such a scary expression... After more than a year of acquaintance, it was the first time he saw Kurosawa angry.

……

The afternoon class is the same as the morning class, because the final exam is approaching, and the teachers are very busy. Rather than giving lectures, it is more about letting everyone focus on the main points of this exam, and prepare for the exam seriously.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, Kurosawa walked out of the school with a shoulder bag on his back, and saw Rina Igarashi's car.

Perhaps because she became famous at zero o'clock, she no longer stood outside the car and shouted, but sat in the car and waited.

The car started. Although the piano competition is now in progress, the zero o'clock will start after 8:9 p.m. and before [-]:[-] p.m. There is still plenty of time, so I went to the office first.

Along the way, the car was very dull, except for the greeting when getting on the car, there was no topic or communication.

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

Runa Igarashi, who was driving, looked sideways at his face, hesitated for a long time before speaking.

If it were the usual Kurosawa Hikari, under the elegant and gentle temperament, there would always be a faint smile on that handsome and handsome face, which was very kind and peaceful.

But today's Kurosawa Hikaru looks indifferent and calm, like a beast suppressing some kind of emotion, which looks a little scary.

"It's okay, you drive first, and wait until you arrive at the office."

Aware of her concern and worry, Kurosawa shook his head slightly, with a smile on his lips.

"..."

Realizing that he really had something on his mind, but he just didn't want to talk about it in the car, Igarashi Runa nodded and concentrated on driving.

Because it was peak season, it was already 5:23 when they arrived at the office.

"The performance is going to be tonight, let's eat something in advance to pad our stomachs."

Arriving at the office, Runa Igarashi unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, also explaining the action.

For an important performance, it is best to prepare a few hours in advance, fill your stomach, and adjust your physical condition, because eating before the game will more or less affect your state.

In addition, stomach troubles and illnesses during the performance must also be avoided.

"I heard that there is a lot of noise online."

Following her out of the garage and into the corridor, Hikaru Kurosawa finally spoke.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about how noisy those people are on the Internet, you just need to perform well, your level is very strong, and the piano music you play is very nice."

Runa Igarashi, who was walking in front, froze when he heard this question, then turned around with a smile, raised one arm and said comfortingly.

Obviously, even though she kept talking about good news in the group chat yesterday and deliberately covered up the negative news, Kurosawa still noticed the movement on the Internet.
