Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

Chapter 56: Special "Shuxiu"

In a spacious and quiet room of a hotel, a single man and a single woman sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

The air between them seemed to be frozen, like a volcano about to erupt, making people feel a sense of oppression.

The man coughed a few times, trying to break the strange silence.

After a dry cough, he raised his head and looked at the woman sitting opposite him, and forced a smile on his face: "The environment here is not bad, right?"

The woman also realized the awkward atmosphere. She nodded gently and responded: "Well, it's indeed quite quiet, suitable for..."

The woman stopped talking abruptly. Her voice was trembling, and her inner tension and anxiety were evident in her words.

The man noticed the woman's nervousness, he took a deep breath, decided to put his worries aside, and took out... a guitar.

This pair of single men and women are naturally Watanabe Hideyuki and Kuroda Arisa.

"What kind of music does Arisa-chan like to listen to?" Watanabe Hideyuki asked.

"I don't seem to have a particular favorite style..." Arisa thought for a while and came to a conclusion, "I listen to a little bit of everything. If I think it sounds good, I'll listen to it. I don't understand what style of music it is."

"oh, I understand now."

Hideyuki nodded.

Indeed, this approach is consistent with the girl's temperament.

"How about you sing a song for me?" Xiuxing suggested.

Arisa Kuroda didn't answer. She lowered her head, took out her cell phone and started playing the accompaniment.

Xiu Xing observed carefully.

When Arisa was playing the accompaniment, her expression was still a little shy, but when the accompaniment sounded, her expression instantly became serious and earnest, as if she had become a different person.

Especially during the singing, it would not be an exaggeration to describe her expression as frosty.

That's good, and it would be even better if you could laugh at it.

For a qualified idol, unnecessary emotions such as shyness and stage fright are taboos.

It is indeed the innate holy body of a worker.

Xiu Xing admired silently in his heart.

After singing one song, Watanabe Hideyuki had a clearer understanding of Arisa Kuroda's singing level.

There’s no technique, it’s all emotion.

There is no problem with the pitch, and the vocal range can handle most songs.

Among ordinary people, although his talent cannot be called top-notch, it is also upper-middle level.

To use the words in novels about cultivating immortals, one must at least have the potential to become a golden elixir.

Originally, he was worried that Arisa's musical talent would be extremely poor, which would ruin her originally good voice and could not be saved even with the help of the system.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

With this kind of talent, it seems like he could start recording after just one or two training sessions.

"Can you play an instrument?"

Arisa shook her head.

"Let me show you first." Watanabe Hideyuki said, sitting on a high stool in the living room, with one foot on the stool leg and the other foot on the ground.

He picked up the guitar next to him with a relaxed and natural posture, tuned it, and began to play.

Arisa in front of him only saw Watanabe Hideyuki's fingers jumping flexibly on the guitar strings, and a beautiful melody sounded immediately. Before she could be surprised, when Watanabe Hideyuki started to sing the first word, Arisa was completely stunned.

"Because I'll make you cry

That's why I can't be with you.

Because I'll make you sad

So I hope you can forget me as soon as possible

Because we are human

So sometimes I want to try different foods

But you will cry, yes, I don't want to break your heart

But you're bored too.

Do you want to see me too?

I don’t want to see anyone except you.”

When the song entered the chorus, Arisa finally broke free from the memories brought back by the song.

Although she has never experienced love, let alone any insights into love, this song can touch her heart.

Even though she knows nothing about music, she knows that this song is first-rate in terms of the arrangement of the lyrics, the rhythm, and the content of the lyrics.

Not to mention Hideyuki Watanabe's magnetic voice and superb singing skills...

"How willful!

But the feelings are ambiguous.

The so-called proof of the existence of love

Can you tell me

No matter how many times the night falls, I still can't

Eat the top-notch cuisine

Because I will make you sad, I definitely can't be with you for life

Because I broke your heart, my heart is hurting too

Because we are human, sometimes we can't understand each other

Because you'll be heartbroken, yes, I made you cry again

But I really don't have confidence

You don't want to change, right?

You are right in front of me

No matter how many times the night falls, I still can't

Say the three words 'I love you'

No matter how many times the night falls, I still can't

Eat the top-notch cuisine

......

"

When Watanabe Hideyuki sang the last word, the lingering sound of the guitar strings slowly dissipated, and the whole room returned to silence again.

Look at Arisa again.

He stood there blankly, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe his ears, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Her eyes were fixed on Hideyuki, as if trying to find the source of the shocking singing.

Only then did she fully realize it.

Watanabe Hideyuki's words are not just words, but a reality that you can actually touch upon.

Thinking of this, a strong emotion surged in her heart, admiration for Xiuxing's talent and shame for her previous ignorance.

She actually...

The atmosphere at this time was a little weird, and Watanabe Hideyuki also realized this. He half-jokingly eased the atmosphere: "Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."

Only when she said this did Arisa overlap the two different figures of the girl in front of her and the boy just now.

incredible.

It took her a long time to recover from her shock.

She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, looked at Xiuxing solemnly, and said only two words: "Teach me."

Before Xiuxing could utter the word "OK", a familiar frame appeared in front of his eyes.

[When three people walk together, there must be one person who can teach me. The girl in front of you who is hungry for knowledge seems to want to learn a skill from you. As a gentleman in Kyoto, you choose...]

[Option 1: Gladly teach]

[History has taught us that knowledge needs to be circulated and spread. Keeping it to yourself will only tarnish the sanctity of knowledge. You, who are well aware of this, choose to teach me generously and share your skills. (IQ +1) (Leadership +1), Points +100]

[Option 2: Reject]

[The law does not penetrate six ears, and the truth is not passed on to the wrong people. How can you teach a skill to make a living to others casually? Tell her loudly: "Dream on! You are dreaming!" (EQ +1), points +200]

[Option 3: We talk about "Yuan" instead of "Yuan"]

[The tradition of collecting tuition has been passed down for thousands of years. Only by collecting tuition can students know how to study hard. At the same time, you, who are influenced by the Meiji gentleman's style, cannot violate the constraints of etiquette, but you know that the girl in front of you comes from a poor family, so you decide to collect some special "treasures". (Endurance +1) (Music-Assembly Skill Proficiency Card 20%), Points +100]

[Friendly reminder: The reward must meet the conditions. If it does not meet the conditions, the reward will be returned. ]

Shuxiu?

Watanabe Hideyuki's brain was working rapidly.

wrong.

It is a special kind of "Shuxiu".

What kind of category does the special "Shuxiu" mentioned in the Natural Way system by Watanabe Hideyuki, who is familiar with the nature of the system, probably refer to?

In order to prevent him from encountering bugs, friendly reminders appeared after the system was updated.

Option 2 was naturally ignored by Watanabe Hideyuki.

Are you kidding? He went through all this trouble just to teach Arisa music.

How could I refuse?
