Chapter 4 - Piano Lesson
The next morning... I woke up from hearing the soft sound of a piano.
(Could that be... Carlo?)
I could hear the sound of the piano coming from outside the room. Entranced by that sound, I left the room.
MC: Carlo?
When I looked inside Carlo's room, he noticed me and stopped playing.
Carlo: Yo, MC!
MC: Carlo, are you practicing the piano today?
Carlo: No, you're going to practice the piano!
MC: Eh...?
Carlo: Didn't you say that you envy people that can play the piano? So, I'm going to teach you the piano!
MC: B-But...
Carlo: Just sit over here, MC!
MC: ...!
Carlo pulled my arm and made me sit down next to him.
Carlo: Alright, let's do this!
Then, my piano lesson started...
Last Chapter - Becoming Entranced by the Sound of the Piano
As I was in front of the piano, my heart was going fast with nervousness.
Carlo: Watch closely.
MC: Got it...
Carlo slowly pressed the keys. After that, I pressed the keys nervously.
Carlo: You can't play while twitching like that! You need to play with more spirit!
With Carlo checking on my playing, I was slowly enjoying playing the piano.
MC: Carlo, wouldn't it be best to practice the guitar?
Carlo: It's fine! It's okay to suddenly do classical sometimes, right? Besides, I've decided to teach you piano today!
MC: Thank you.
Carlo: Whoa! Go, la la la la, there! Try singing that!
Just as he said that, Carlo placed his hand over mine.
MC: ...!
When he suddenly placed his hand over mine, my hand started shaking.
Carlo: What?
Surprised, Carlo looked at my face. Then moment our eyes met, his face instnatly turned red.
(H-His face is close.)
With his face right near mine, my cheeks became warm.
Carlo: S-Stupid! W-What are you being so conscious for!
When he quickly backed away, he said that roughly.
MC: T-That's not what I was intending!
As I held my warm cheeks, I turned away from him. Then, his shoulders beside me trembled.
MC: ...?
Carlo: Dammit~! I'm supposed to be a punk!!
Just as Carlo shouted that, he banged on the piano.
MC: Eh...? What's wrong?
When I turned towards Carlo again...
Carlo: S-Shut up~! It's nothing! Let's practice! MC!
MC: G-Got it!
When he grabbed my hand, Carlo made me turn towards the piano.
Carlo: Continue!
MC: O-Okay.
Trying to match with Carlo's piano playing, I was awkwardly playing the piano. Although, I was so curious about him for some reason that I turned towards him secretly. Then...
Carlo: Eek!?
Just as our gazes met again, we turned away from each other again.
(A punk... huh...)
-Flashback-
Carlo: That's all right! Music is life after all! As long as you have the heart and music, it'll reach out no matter how much you suck at it!
-Flashback-
When I suddenly remembered Carlo's words, I broke into a smile. The stiff piano melody sounded joyful for some reason...
