Episode 196

With the piano in the shadows, Mika went to the large square where pickpockets were most likely to occur.

After looking for a place for a while, he found a place that was reasonably visible but did not interfere with traffic, so he opened the shadow and took out the piano.

Mika usually doesn’t like to stand out, but he needed to stand out to solve this homework, so he openly pulled out the piano from the shadows.

Then, as she intended, the eyes of the people in the square gathered.

“what? “A piano just came out of the ground.”

“Is there such magic?”

“however… piano? “I guess we’re going to do a performance or something!”

As people began to gather, Mika looked around, then brought a chair in front of the piano and sat down on it.

Then, he pressed a few piano keys with long, thin fingers like chopsticks, and soon began playing.

―♪~♬♩~♪~♩

A beautiful melody, hard to believe coming from an old piano, began to fill the square little by little.

“Oh oh… … .”

“oh… Good~”

“Is it a classic?”

The first song started with a classic.

However, it is difficult to attract people’s attention if it is a classic that is too old, so choose a song that is as famous as possible.

“This… … .”

“Composer Fernandino’s .”

“ah! “I’ve heard of it!”

“He plays really well.”

A performance that makes passersby look back at least once.

The reason they looked back was because the song was famous as a lyrical song in Itaris, but most of all, it was because of the appearance of Mika, the performer.

Pianists are usually referred to as actors.

The reason is that audiences want to simply listen to music, but they also want to see pianists who perfectly understand and play the music.

Therefore, pianists are called actors because they always have to show the audience that they are passionate about music.

And in showing such acting, Mika was very close to perfection.

“Look at that kid’s face. “Isn’t it huge?”

“It’s pretty.”

“That’s not it! It seems like you completely understand the song “Moonlight Lake,” right? That gentle smile, soft keyboard touch, yet not exaggerated movement… It really feels like you’re playing on a lake under the moonlight. That kid… “Are you a professional?”

People who knew music were amazed by her performance, and even people who didn’t know much about music felt at ease with her acting and lyrical music.

When the first song ended, we moved on to the next song before people applauded.

“oh… … !”

“I’m excited this time!”

“This… “It’s a song called ‘Fantastic Romance’ by Anna, a famous singer-songwriter in the West!”

“How do you know all this?”

Every time her fingers lightly pressed the keys, an exciting melody flowed out, and every time she bounced her fingers, the rhythm seemed to jump as well.

A performance that literally feels like one with the piano.

In the climax part of the song, as befits the name , the excitement, anticipation, warmth, and excitement of fantastic love were all expressed using the piano keys.

“amazing… I can’t believe I can express it this way… … .”

“Oh oh… It reminds me of when I was dating… … .”

“Aren’t you a Mosol?”

“Even for someone who doesn’t know much about music, this is incredible skill!”

People increasingly flocked to Mika’s performance.

Every time the song changed, people applauded and exclaimed, and each time, Mika played music of a higher quality as if responding to them.

No matter what genre of music it was or how difficult it was, she didn’t care and showed people her best performance.

The performance, which started around the time the sunset was visible, continued until the sunset completely subsided and disappeared.

After finishing the fairly long medley, Mika looked around.

There were many people gathered there, cheering and praising her performance.

‘After all, is it greedy to think that you will be caught from the first day?’

Mika glanced at the audience for a moment with his usual cold eyes, then decided that there was nothing he wanted and returned to the soft look he used when playing.

No one noticed the momentary change in her gaze.

She bowed her head once to the gathered audience and then raised her voice and spoke.

“Thank you for listening to my performance today. “I plan to perform here tomorrow as well, so I would appreciate it if you could listen then as well.”

People seemed to have fallen in love with Mika’s performance after just a few songs, and expressed anticipation and relief when she announced that she would perform again tomorrow.

Just like that, the first day of homework deadline passed.

Like that on the second day and the next day.

And then the next day too.

As promised, Mika came to the same square and the same place, took out the piano from the shadows, played it, and gathered people.

There was no limit to the songs she played.

Regardless of genre or level of difficulty, she played any song to fit the mood of the song, and from the third day onwards, she began accepting song requests, limited to songs she knew.

What’s even more surprising is that usually, when a song request is received, only those who know about the song enjoy it, and other people who don’t know about the song may feel indifferent.

However, Mika seemed determined to ensure that no one was left out and enjoyed his performance, and even arranged the requested song on the spot as if it were a popular song.

“amazing… “That kid’s skills are better than most pianists?”

“They are not ordinary pianists! “I think he’s better than the court musicians, right?”

“It’s hard to believe that a person with such talent is simply a music student… … .”

“Where is the school?”

“I don’t know either.”

“… … ?”

“What do you think! All you have to do is do it well!”

Mika earned the title ‘Afternoon Brown Pigtails Pianist’ just 4 days after he started playing.

According to rumors, a cool-looking girl with brown pigtails plays the piano in the square every evening, and everyone passing by is so fascinated by her skills and beauty that they stop and listen to her play.

And such rumors spread throughout the system and reached the ears of the pickpocket and his colleagues.

“Ohh… “You still do street performances these days?”

“okay! I saw it? “There was a girl who played her piano amazingly.”

“okay? That’s right… … .”

The pickpocket touched his chin after hearing the news from his colleague.

Even these days, the idea of ​​street performances being performed is a bit suspicious, but places where many people gather have long been known to be perfect places for pickpockets.

I’ve been successful in pickpocketing recently, so I’m not short of money right now, but I still shouldn’t miss out on opportunities like this.

“Hey, Durva. “Let’s do it tomorrow.”

“okay! “I knew you would say that!”

The pickpockets vowed to commit pickpocketing once again tomorrow.

* * *

So the next day.

Mika also arrived at the square.

When she arrived, many people had already gathered to listen to her performance.

“Oh oh! come!”

“Is that him?”

“Awesome!”

“Those lifeless eyes… “Isn’t it somehow attractive?”

Mika walked through the crowd of people who had high expectations for him and settled down at the place where he usually performed.

Soon she took out the piano from the shadows as usual.

The people seemed to think that her pulling out the piano from the shadows was a kind of performance, and they cheered.

After greeting the people, Mika sat down and was about to start playing when a knight came through the crowd and approached her.

“Hey, are you the student who recently brought the piano here to play?”

“… “Yes, by the way.”

“Unauthorized street performances cannot be performed in the first place.”

“okay… “Then I guess I’ll have to stop here.”

Mika stood up with a sullen expression on his face.

Then the crowd there saw Mika’s face and started shouting at the driver as if they were going to start a riot at any moment.

“hey! What are we doing?! “Do you know how long we’ve been standing here watching him perform?”

“yes? that… but… According to Itaris law… … .”

“This is why articles are problematic! Ugh, tsk… “They allow a lot of flexibility in their actions, but they make a fuss about following the law in these matters!”

“Listening to her performance has become a joy in my life these days!”

“that… but… … .”

“But what the heck!”

The driver looked like he was going to cry at any moment due to the people’s outcry.

Mika spoke quietly to the driver.

“Hey, knight. “I’ll only be playing for about 1-2 hours at most anyway, so why not have the driver watch from nearby?”

“Yes? that… that… … .”

“If something happens, you can get there right away.

“Then isn’t it a relief?”

“that… is it?”

The driver, with a tearful expression on his face, pondered for a moment at Mika’s suggestion, then nodded, saying he couldn’t do it.

“I can’t help it. Instead, it’s only 1-2 hours. “After that, there’s nothing I can do.”

“yes. “Of course.”

The driver decided to wait behind the crowd as she suggested.

After Mika saw the driver retreat to the back of the crowd, he sat down again and started playing.

The first song of the day is by the famous composer Bernardi.

This song is characterized by a rhythm that seems to burn like a flame and a passionate melody that feels like dancing flames. Mika reduced the too passionate parts of this song and arranged it so that you can still feel the warmth of the flames.

“It’s so good~ Is this the original song?”

“Arranging ‘Dance of Flames’ like this… “You really are a genius.”

“I’m going to request a song today!”

“me too!”

Mika’s performance was a success again today.

There were even people who deliberately came to hear her play.

Some of them came to scout her or to interview her.

Mika seemed not to care about those people and continued playing his own music with his eyes closed.

As Mika’s performance continued, an impure person came into the crowd of people who were absorbed in the performance.

‘Good, good~ I hope everyone gets immersed in the performance~’

The pickpocket and his associates naturally hid in the crowd and began stealing wallets.

People were so absorbed in Mika’s performance that they did not realize that they had been pickpocketed.

‘Hehe… This is awesome~’

Even though there was one knight guarding them, he did not stop their actions because he was also absorbed in Mika’s performance.

The pickpockets who stole the wallets of countless people there left the square pretending to listen to the music.

He didn’t even know that something had stuck to the shadow beneath his feet.

* * *

The pickpockets dispersed without suspicion and then gathered at their hideout, a shabby house in the corner of the island.

“Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty! Hey, just twenty dogs!”

“You did a lot!”

“Plus, there are a lot of rich people, so they have a lot of money! “I guess I could have fun for a month like this?”

The pickpockets smiled sinisterly as they checked the stolen wallets.

Squares where people gather are the best places for pickpockets to operate.

The pickpockets expressed their gratitude to Mika for creating such a place.

“I’m thankful for that bitch.”

“So, that’s right. Even these days, things like this happen when people innocently perform street performances. “It’s all her fault.”

“This is all life experience. She’s really pretty, but she can use magic, right? “You have a lot of talent.”

“Those bitches must have lived a life like us without going through a single hardship.”

The pickpockets laughed at her harshly.

They were confident that she would have lived an easy life with the talent they did not have.

“Don’t open your mouth when you don’t know anything. “Because it’s disgusting.”

It was that moment.
