I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 147 The Breath of the Beast
1 month 5 day.

On the last day of the New Year holiday, Sakamoto Kuma looked haggard.

A person sat alone in the new house that he had originally used as his wedding room, doing nothing and just staring blankly.

Over the years, I have worked like crazy to get married and studied hard, but now I suddenly find that I can’t even find a few people who can play with me during the New Year holiday.

After spending two days saying hello to my family, I spent the rest of the holiday sitting alone in my room.

Why didn’t I feel so lonely when I was alone before?

Maybe it’s because I usually watch anime and comics, chat with netizens online, and scold those born authors.

But ever since I bought that game on CM and played it all night, I haven't talked to anyone online or watched any anime or comics in that period of time.

I clearly intended to immerse myself in the second dimension to escape reality, but why do I feel now that there is no place for me in either the second dimension or reality?

Looking back, I saw the "White Album" on the table and thought of that heart-wrenching feeling.

Something seems to have changed in my heart.

In fact, he had read "White Album" over and over again when he was bored these days.

Even though I was obviously in pain, I still wanted to play, and the result was that the pain seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.

The hurt was so deep that I actually seemed to enjoy the heartbreaking feeling on purpose.

Maybe it was because he had been alone for too long, but something in his heart that shouldn't have been awakened suddenly arose.

Shu: [Have you read the manga "Your Lie in April"?]

Shu: [This time, they said it was a massive update, so they just slashed two chapters, so I can watch them all at once! I think the quality is pretty good!]

Someone asked a question in the group of Haruki Nagayama's black fans.

However, as mentioned, the new comic book "Sakura Fujiyoshi" was released just yesterday.

Haha, but there is no difference, they are both the same beasts.

If either of them were a human being, they wouldn't feel so miserable and would not have to sit at home alone during the New Year holiday, not knowing what to do.

Yamazaki: [Kumaichi and I have given up on doing 2D anymore. We're disgusted by these three bastards.]

Yamazaki, who is also a victim, said that he has left his home.

Shu: [Hey, White Album is just the prologue? Don't you feel sorry for not playing the sequel?]

Seeing this message, Sakamoto Kuma raised his eyebrows.

That makes sense. This work has made me so uncomfortable, so it should at least have a beginning and an end, right?
I have to at least wait and see what happens to Touma and Setsuna before I make any decision.

Sakamoto Kumaichi: [However, the comics of that beast Sakurafuji Yoko are a bit...]

It seemed that Kumaichi Sakamoto had found a reason and finally appeared in the group again.

Shu: [I feel okay. In an interview, Sakurafuji Yoshi said this work won't be as realistic as 5 Centimeters per Second, and there won't be any trains. He said it's a romantic story.]

[This is indeed a very romantic story. The heroine is beautifully drawn. I've already fallen in love with it.]

Others who have already read the new episode of Your Lie in April also spoke out.

[Hmm, I feel like this is a very orthodox youth romance manga, full of youthful feelings, and quite beautiful.]

Shu: [I've watched Yukiko's new video, and it's truly divine. Even if she gets a knife, that's a matter for later. Let's enjoy it first.]

Sakamoto Kuma thought about it. Although he felt that what Sakura Fujiyoshi said was not credible, he had been attacked so badly recently. Maybe he could reform himself?

After all, compared to Haruki Nagayama, Sakura Fujiye didn't do much to cause trouble.

So after many days, Kumaichi Sakamoto finally opened Jump+ and found the new work, "Your Lie in April", which was hanging on the cover with full of impressive features.

Miyazono Kaoru stood on the stage and played the violin.

Meanwhile, in the audience, Kousei, who was dragged by his friends Adu and Xiaochun to watch the performance, couldn't help but admire her skills.

“You pull it really well.”

If it's at this level, there will be no problem in advancing.

But the next second.

The performance started to get weird.

No longer according to the music score, but according to her ideas.

Gong Sheng was stunned.

I remembered my mother's teachings: "The competition must be conducted strictly according to the score!"

He has always done this, and because he can always perform perfectly in accordance with the music score, he always wins the championship in every competition without a doubt.

Also known as the human metronome.

But, Xun has already deviated from the music score.

If we continue like this, we will lose the game.

It's obviously not a problem of her technical ability at all.

This piece of music is Beethoven's famous piece, [Kreutzer].

But now, it seems that what is being played on the stage is no longer Beethoven's work.

And she, herself, became the work.

The old-fashioned judges deservedly gave it a low score.

But Kousei was a little dazed.

Because she is so beautiful.

At the moment the performance ended, the audience stood up and applauded and cheered for her.

She wasn’t looking for a match.

[Why does she enjoy playing music so much?]

The performance is over.

Xun was eliminated from the competition as expected.

Although, in the end, it was returned by the audience vote
But her playing style was totally unsuccessful in the competition.

But she smiled brightly.

It seemed as if her goal had been achieved.

the next day.

The playboy Adu said that he had made an appointment with another girl and asked him to help deal with Xun who was waiting for him after school.

Kousei, walking alone on his way home from school, began his monologue.

When I came to my senses, I found that the scene was repeating on the black curtain inside my eyelids.

The scene flashed by, showing a close-up of Xun playing.

【Continuously, continuously, continuously.】

She played the violin.

【I want to listen to it once, but I don’t want to listen to it again. 】

A figure appeared in front of the camera.

【I want to see her again, but I don’t want to see her again. 】

Under the cherry tree, she stood with her hands behind her back, clutching her schoolbag, and kicking her legs out of boredom.

How do you describe this feeling?

She turned around, noticed her, and a smile appeared on her lips.

How do I describe this feeling?

She turned around and raised her finger at Kousei, smiling brightly.

"Friend A!"

She stood in the midst of spring.

Kumaichi Sakamoto is a veteran comic reader, but he still couldn't help but marvel at such beautiful pictures.

Is this guy writing a "full score essay"?

With such beautiful sentences and pictures, he completely forgot his doubts about the cherry tree leaves and his own negative emotions, and was completely immersed in the romantic atmosphere of the story.

Kousei made up a lie, saying that Adu had something to do and couldn't keep the appointment.

"Then I will appoint you as my substitute!"

Xun did not feel lost because she did not see her "beloved" A'du, but smiled brightly instead.

"Eh?"

So, this is a very traditional kind of story, where the girl likes the male protagonist's friend at the beginning, but the male protagonist is not interested in love, but gradually they fall in love with each other.

Judging from the setting, the heroine's free playing style should be arranged to redeem the hero in the later plot.

Wait, Kumaichi Sakamoto, I suddenly remembered that there is a second female lead who likes the male lead.

If the heroine also falls in love with the hero later
It's bad. Kumaichi Sakamoto suddenly turned his head and looked at the CD of "White Album" playing not far away.

My stomach started to hurt again.

But why am I a little excited?
No, no, Sakamoto Kumaichi quickly shook his head.

This is a cherry vine leaf, not a cherry tree leaf.

Although both of them are very good at torturing readers, their methods are very different.

Keep reading.

Kousei and Kaoru were playing together.

Seeing Kaoru sitting in the cafe with a bright smile and a satisfied look on her face while eating cake, Kousei held his face with a smile.

He thought to himself: She is such a great performer, but she looks like an ordinary girl.

The two of them were playing and fighting.

Looking at two children practicing piano.

Xun joked mischievously, "This brother is really good at playing the piano, let him teach you!"

Kousei couldn't refuse and ended up playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Looking at Kousei's back as he played the piano, she smiled gently.

But the piano music suddenly stopped
He couldn't hear the piano anymore.
"Ah, there's a cat!" Xun happily squatted in the park, teasing the black wild cat excitedly.

"You don't play the piano anymore?" Kaoru and Kousei squatted in the sandbox in the park and looked at the cat.

"You really do know me." Kousei said.

"Your name is well-known among all the musicians of your age." She smiled, turning her head away and quietly looking at Kousei's face. "You are our idol."

"Why did you give up?"

Seeing Kousei's pained expression, she couldn't help but ask.

"Because of me, I can't hear the piano anymore."

Although I know that according to the general logic of the story, Kaoru will definitely redeem Kousei later, but this kind of plot is still a bit uncomfortable to watch.

Kumaichi Sakamoto sighed, but compared to the various tortures in his previous works, this kind of discomfort no longer caused any harm.

"Can't you hear me?"

"It's weird, I just can't hear my own piano."

I can clearly hear the sound of hands hitting the piano and the sound of keys sinking.

But the only thing is that you can't hear the sound of my piano.

I thought, this must be the punishment my mother gave me.

Just when Kousei was immersed in sorrow.

The girl, who was always wild, kicked Kousei roughly, "Stop being so pretentious!"

"If you can't hear anything, bite the stick and play. If your hands can't move, play with your feet!" She pointed at Kousei's nose and lectured, "No matter how sad or embarrassed you are, you can't stop playing!"

She said, "This is how people like us survive!"

Kousei was stunned for a moment, his pupils reflecting her figure suddenly contracted, and then he smiled, "Perhaps, you are the right person."

【With you.】

The scene continues to narrate Kousei's monologue in a literary style.

How can I describe that feeling?

【Perhaps this feeling is longing! 】

【you】

In the picture, the girl is smiling, pointing her finger at the boy, and making a rude and brutal announcement.

"I appoint my friend, Classmate A, as my accompanist!"

【Standing in the midst of spring.】

"Ah, Xun, it's so beautiful." Sakamoto Kumaichi couldn't help but admire.

Who doesn’t like such a lively, cheerful and beautiful girl?
She is spoiled and willful, but she knows how to consider other people's feelings and will encourage them with a smile.

just perfect.

Kumaichi Sakamoto's mood gradually improved.

It seems that the heart that has been hurt recently has finally been healed.

Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with immersing yourself in the second dimension.

However, before I knew it, this extremely long broadcast of two consecutive chapters had unknowingly reached the last few pages.

It really makes me feel like I haven’t seen enough.

He reluctantly turned to the last few pages.

Tsubaki and Kaoru were sitting on the bus, both discussing Kousei.

"Fight, fight, it feels like all my studies have been in vain!"

Kumaichi Sakamoto suddenly smiled and muttered.

I don't know why, even though I was badly tortured by [Bai Xue], I feel excited when I see such a scene now.

Xiaochun told Xiaoxun about her dream of hoping that Kousei could continue playing the piano.

The two did not have the twisted conversation that Kumaichi Sakamoto had expected.

Xiaochun got out of the car holding an umbrella.

"As expected, Sakura Fujiha was not born like Sakurai."

While there is some disappointment, there is more peace of mind.

In fact, he still didn't want any torturous plot to appear.

After all, Xun described it so beautifully.

So this comic seems to be about torturing the male protagonist, right?

As for the male protagonist being abused, it seems to be mainly career-related at the moment, so it shouldn't be particularly serious.

As long as it's not like the Flame Fist, it's acceptable.

Anyway, it's better than torturing Xun.

Just as I was thinking this.

the last page.

Xundai sat in the back seat of the bus, lost in thought.

Then, I pressed the button for the next stop to get off.

【Tokyo University Hospital. 】

?

Sakamoto Kumaichi, who had suffered from the devastation of his three births, frowned and felt that things were not that simple.

Why, there is a smell of an animal coming towards me?
