Chapter 126 Temporary Keyboardist
"Well, Cyeagha-san is the special guest invited by our band~" Bassist Rupa-san naturally took over the conversation, and together with Subaru who jumped out, they cheered for the somewhat confused Kashiwagawa Miki.
"Yes, please introduce yourself, Cyeagha-san!"
After helplessly taking the microphone, Kashiwa Sanhui scratched his head and thought for a while before saying, "Hello everyone, I'm talking about Dao... I'm cyeagha, and today I'm bringing everyone in the band to watch the performance of the Thornless Thorn Band."
The camera lens was focused on Hongxia and Kita who were playfully making "yeah" gestures, Liang who was eating popcorn mechanically with an expressionless face, Xiangzi who was gently waving hello at the camera, and Ichiri who was starting to turn into a slime and whose expression collapsed.
On the other hand, the comments in the organizer's live broadcast room have been gradually exploding. Fans of two popular members of the EC team, [Miss Madonna] and [avarus], have started to spam each other and fight.
As for Captain Oblivionis and the remaining two team members... there was one, no, three, on the roadside that no one cared about.
"Um... could you please point the camera at me? I have Ms. Zhi's keyboard in my hand. Aren't you afraid I'll kill her?"
Kashiwa Sanhui played a few random notes casually, familiarizing himself with the keyboard while also attracting everyone's attention.
The audience below and upstairs burst into laughter, and the cameraman obediently moved the camera back.
"Although I'm better at blues jazz and old-school country jazz, but—"
Kashiwa Sanhui pointed to the school uniform he was wearing, which was the same style that Renai was wearing now.
"Actually, I'm a fan of Wu Ci You Ci. Their songs are really great, and their stage presence is amazing too. We'll have to learn them for a long time... Miss Momoka, what song are we going to play later?"
It's a very abrupt change of topic, but it fits with cyeagha's cute personality.
"Since Cyeagha-san is the special guest, then the decision is naturally yours. Just follow your lead and we will work with you."
111, is it really free play?
Astonishing wisdom was activated and an idea came to mind.
Kashiwa Sanhui moved the microphone closer to the keyboard, and his fingers began to jump on the keys.
(Original song: "Call Your Name" - Hiroyuki Sawano)
[She lost her brother months ago]
[His picture on the wall]
[And it reminds me]
It starts at zero frame, with just a few simple chords, monotonous and repetitive, but under the solemn and reminiscent singing of Kashiwa Sanhui, it is like a battering ram striking people's heartstrings.
[When she brings me coffee her smile]
[I wish I could be with her 'til my last day]
Until now, no one, whether pure or thorny, has dared to join in, for fear of destroying this seamless harmony.
To be honest, Cyeagha's keyboard skills were indeed very ordinary and not at all comparable to Chi's, but what surprised Momoka was that the man in front of her was telling a story - using his singing and piano music to enrich the story's authenticity, as if he had experienced it personally.
[She said she gave all her love to me]
[We dream a new life Some place to be at peace]
It was not until now that Rupa felt that she could add her own bass to accompany this slightly sad song, using the monotonous but touching melody to create the atmosphere of the slowly approaching climax.
Even the four plus one in the audience stopped chewing and put all their attention into welcoming the climax.
[But things changed suddenly]
[I lost my dreams in this disaster——]
It came to an abrupt halt, Kashiwa Sanhui's hands left the keyboard, and his low and slightly hoarse voice changed into his usual gentle and indifferent voice.
"Okay—that's it. The rest is the paid content. Everyone, please wait until our band finishes recording the album before listening~"
There were disappointed boos and sighs from the audience, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room had already started to curse.
An and Tiantong, who were hiding in the corner and watching from afar, shook their heads helplessly at this moment.
What…what are you doing?! We've already built up so much excitement, why did you suddenly stop?!
"...cyeagha-san, you wouldn't be able to tell from your appearance, but you're actually a mean-spirited person at heart." Momoka complained somewhat weakly, while Subaru lay dejectedly on the drum set and nodded slightly in agreement.
As for Nina, her English grades were pretty average before she dropped out of school. She must have been rusty after not touching English for so long. She didn't understand what Kashiwa Miki sang just now, but she still nodded in agreement, pretending to understand.
"Hey~"
After putting on a foxy smile to get by, it was time to do my job as a makeshift keyboard.
Kashiwa Sanhui just played silently along with the score, but he was totally unable to sway with the crowd of people who were neither sharp nor sharp. He was not that style, so there was no need to force himself.
However, the emotions of the audience were aroused. The four plus one, including Yili, started to cheer very hard. Kita, who was a bit of a stage-setter, even couldn't help running to the stage to grab the microphone with Nina... Of course, Kita died midway and was stopped by the security, but he was still very excited and sang along loudly.
After helping Wu Ci You Ci finish the remaining two songs, Kashiwa Sanhui prepared to quietly leave the stage and follow Taoxiang to the lounge. Before leaving, he took the keyboard away to make it easier for the next band to perform on stage.
"Here, these are Miss Zhi's things. I'll leave them to you, Miss Taoxiang. I'll take them away first."
He casually took the keyboard off his back and put it aside, then Kashiwa Sanhui waved to Taoxiang who was happily counting the money and prepared to say goodbye and run away.
The goal of bringing the Four Plus One to the world has been achieved, and the next step is to start cultivating EC's own playing style.
And the system reward has also been received - thank you Su Shi!
As for why I wanted to thank Su Shi, it was because I completed the Su Shi series of tasks on the night of the bonfire party.
In addition to automatically accepting Wakaba Mu's series of tasks 1, he also obtained a very powerful reward specialization - Charm Skill Specialization [People-Pleasing Personality].
People-Pleasing Personality: Satisfying others is satisfying yourself. When you fulfill a sincere request from someone, there's a chance you'll trigger a quest. Depending on how well you complete the quest, you'll receive a random reward of small, average, or substantial. This quest triggers once a day. The chance of triggering a quest and the quality of the reward depend on your skill level.
Sang felt that the temporary keyboard task system was quite average this time. It barely managed to liven up the atmosphere of the audience, but it could not achieve the same effect as the complete form of Satoshi Ebizuka himself could achieve.
So what I got was just a normal reward - a 20% discount coupon that can be used when purchasing anything worth no more than 500,000 yen, but it can only be used once.
Although he had no shortage of the 100,000 yen, it was good enough to earn some, so he shouldn't think it was too little. With this feeling, Kashiwa Sanhui was about to leave, but Four Plus One was already greeting him at the door of the lounge.
"That--cyeagha-san," Nina and Zhi, who had just barely escaped from the bathroom alive, blocked Kashiwa Miki's way.
"Do you want to go drink together... Don't look at me. We don't drink, and neither does Subaru. Momoka and Rupa will drink with you."
