I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 161 Moonlight
After winning the Tokyo local contest, the time soon came to the end of October, and there was still a week before the national contest in late November.

Fujii, who had already completed his credits ahead of schedule, asked the school for a two-week leave. It was so easy to get a long vacation. First, he had just won the local prize and had top grades. Second, the management of Waseda University has always been relatively loose. His somewhat salty personality is suitable for a place to live.

On the afternoon of the first day of vacation, Fujii and Uncle Amami were playing a fighting game on PS3 in the living room, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, put down the controller and got up.

"what happened?"

Uncle Tianhai, who hadn't played enough yet, asked suspiciously, it's only past three o'clock in the afternoon, does Shu have a date?
"Isn't Shi Yu-chan having club activities for the school festival? Not only did I help her write a song, but I also had to play a temporary keyboard player."

Fujii picked up the trench coat on the sofa and covered it with a white long-sleeved shirt, but it was not buttoned up. It was no longer hot in Tokyo at the end of October, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was not low. Wearing a trench coat is also a common dress.

"I will prepare dinner in the morning. Uncle, pay attention to the casserole in the kitchen, and don't go out halfway."

He went out smartly without anything, went to the garage and picked up the bicycle hidden by the tarpaulin. Unlike Shiyu's pink color, his color is dark blue, but after two years of riding, it gradually faded under the wind and rain. Lost luster and looks old.

Riding on the bicycle that has not been used for a long time, Fujii tree drove out of the gate. Like most cities in the country, Hachioji City has frequent hill roads. If you ride up and downhill for a certain distance, it is a kind of exercise for ordinary people.

Fujii Shu easily reached the speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and even if he hadn't worried about the possibility of the car falling apart, he could have ridden even faster.

"For this section of the road, let a professional rider come, and it's only my speed."

The road bike enthusiasts on the side of the road bragged to the newcomers. Their speed was around 25 kilometers, much faster than ordinary people, and surpassed many pedestrians' bicycles along the way.

Suddenly a gray shadow flashed past them. Before the road bike enthusiasts could see clearly, this ordinary bicycle disappeared at the top of the ramp, without even seeing the back of its owner.

"This professional rider can't do it! Uphill at [-] yards, what kind of Gundam?"

Fujii couldn't hear the complaints of road bike enthusiasts, and put the wind behind him. He only took less than 10 minutes for the usual [-]-minute journey.

At this time, Hachioji High School was over, and Fujii, who had parked his bicycle outside the school, put on a mask and sneaked into the campus.

If he hadn't been in Hachioji High School for two years, Fujii might have needed to ask for directions, but fortunately he was familiar with the environment here. From the stairs to the top floor, he pushed open a door with the nameplate of the light music department and entered it.

"Shi Yu-chan, hasn't the keyboard player you mentioned come yet?"

The careless Rina Tomosaka said carelessly in the activity room, Tsukiike Akane with long straight black hair served tea and closed her eyes, Shigure was reading a novel, turned half of her body to close the book, and looked towards the door.

"coming."

Before the door opened, she spoke.

"Hi everyone, I'm Saito Shigure's cousin Fujii, I met him last time at the amusement park firework festival, and this time I'm here as a guest keyboard player."

After entering the door, Fujii took off his mask and completely exposed his face, which was exactly the same as the protagonist in the photo on the campus wall, or he was the protagonist in life.

"Ah?! Shigure-chan, you invited your brother Fujii! I thought it was the middle-aged uncle?"

Rina Tomosaka stood up from her seat and shouted.

"Is this ultramarine song composed by you as well? I checked it online and it is original."

Tsukiichi Akane, who was tasting tea, opened her eyes, and calmly pointed to the sheet music on the table, which was the song Ultramarine written by Fujii for Shigure.

"Yes, how is it? The performance at the campus festival should be of a good standard."

Now that he has become a copywriter, Fujii admitted without changing his face that Ultramarine was a work that came out six years later. He also checked the copyright of the song afterwards, and the song does not exist at the moment.

Fortunately, this year is only 2014, and copying until 2023 will not be a big problem.

Thinking in his heart, Fujii looked around at this activity room of about 30 square meters, which was a bit luxurious for three people to use as a soft music department. Opposite the door was a long table where they were sitting around, and on the left was a well-built A small stage with drum kits, electronic pianos, and microphones. Those bundled lines are connected to various effects, which looks quite professional.

On the side closer to the wall is a storage shelf, which contains comic books and novels, as well as several sets of tea sets, and the empty shelves are filled with plush toys. The window is behind the long table, and three rows of transparent and clean glass windows are opened. Two doors were opened, and the wind poured in from the outside, blowing the white gauze curtains and shining orange light on the log floor.

Fujii went up to check the model of the electronic organ. It was a mid-to-high-end model of Yamaha. It should be a relic of the predecessors, and it was well maintained.

Ever since he got Mozart's piano talent from the smiling salesman, he hasn't tried to use this ability in practice. Standing behind the electronic piano, there are several pages of classical piano manuscripts on the movement flipboard in front of him. Turning to the next page, it is the first Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

The soft sound of the piano sounded, and the activity room suddenly fell silent. The Moonlight Sonata is not a piece of music with a high degree of difficulty, but it is not so easy to really play it well, because it needs to rely on the emotions of the performer.

After the soothing prelude, there is a rising melody, as if there is a hazy moonlight falling on the silent courtyard, everything is quiet, only sadness, only the deep reciprocating notes quietly tell, a secret past.

The first movement of the Moonlight Sonata is only about 5 minutes long. Although Fujii’s piano skills are only at the mid-professional level of LV3, the inspiration from Mo Sheng is at the master level. There was no sound in the activity room for a long time. He looked around, thinking that he didn't play well enough.

"It's amazing, even better than Mr. Xiao Lin's playing."

Rina Tomosaka suddenly clapped her hands in admiration, and Akane Tsukiike and Shigure also applauded. Compared with Mr. Kobayashi, the predecessor who abandoned them, Fujii's performance was amazing.

"It's just a worthless strength, can we start training together?"

It was only after Fujii's modest response that they realized that the most urgent thing right now was the school festival performance on October 14, which was just two weeks away, and the time was very tight.

"Ah, it's business as usual."

"A time without waves is so boring that it makes people sleepy."

Lead singer and guitarist Shigu, wearing a blue and white autumn school skirt, started the first practice.

After a period of intermittent performance, Fujii looked at each one for a while, except that he was quite satisfactory, Yusaka Rina's drum rhythm was always too fast, Tsukiike Akane could not fully integrate into the performance, and Shigure's singing lacked the necessary empathy.

The next two weeks will be torture.

He felt a bit regretful that he agreed to help Shi Yu participate in the performance on a whim, and now he is busy.

After rehearsing until six o'clock, Fujii Shu and Shigure rode the last part of the way home. On the way, he asked Shigure curiously.

"How did you guys come up with the idea of ​​joining the light music department? It's obviously difficult to carry out activities in a club that doesn't have any seniors?"

Shigure, who was following Fujii Shu, thought about it. The light music department has actually been abandoned for several years. They are one of the few students in the class who have no club activities. Yusaka Rina is an idiot. Chi Qian fits the profile of a top student, and she is always in the top ten of her grades. It only took her more than half a year to learn the courses from elementary school to high school by herself, and her grades are also ranked well, so she doesn't need tutoring at all.

Therefore, in order not to be a otaku, they started a discussion.

Akane Tsukichi rejected the sports activities, and Yusaka Rina, who was in the literature department, was not interested. Finally, they thought of the light music department, which had been abolished for several years. Three people from Hachioji High School can meet the minimum number requirements for a club department, so They took the application form and went to the school's music teacher Xiao Lin Yuanxiang.

"Restart the lighter part? Huh? Do you have any experience practicing musical instruments?"

Teacher Kobayashi at the time thought it was just a whim.

"My cousin is an underground singer and taught me to play drums."

Rina Tomosaka, the minister, was the first to answer, full of confidence.
