Chapter 272

On the sick bed, the girl named Miyazono Kaori stared at the youth in front of her, her eyes sparkling with moving colors.

　　"I'm Hyakki Ryuji, nice to meet you," Ryuji said with a smile.

　　For some reason, he always felt that this girl named Miyazono Kaori was looking at him strangely.

　　"Hey, Onii-chan, did you compose the START-DASH song?" Kaori asked excitedly.

　　That song again!

　　Ryuji rubbed his forehead, he had vaguely guessed it after hearing Maki say that the other party was also a musician.

　　(Tsk, I wouldn't have looked for Mozart if I had known beforehand!)

　　"Possible." Ryuji's face was slightly uneasy.

　　"That music was so amazing, I… I was so touched..." Kaori held her chest tightly.

　　She is a terminally ill patient with no hope for the future. But ever since she listened to Ryuji's song, she was moved by the fighting spirit within her to not give up on fate.

　　(Even if there is very little time left in my life, I still have to face it with a smile!)

　　The gentle girl was as strong as iron.

　　"Okay, you will be touched later." Maki interrupted this heartwarming moment, and held out the Éclair in her hand.

　　"Kaori, your favorite shop."

　　Kaori showed a surprised smile, "Thank you, Maki-chan!"

　　"That's not something to be thankful for," Maki said tsundere.

　　"Onii-chan want to eat?" Kaori handed over Eclair.

　　"No need." Ryuji shook his head and said, "What's with the name 'Onii-chan'? Can you change it?"

　　Not everyone is suitable to call 'Onii-chan'.

　　For example Sagiri, Alisa, and the other kids calling out "Onii-chan" would be very comfortable to listen to, but if Gilgamesh, Tamamo, and Jeanne Alter called out "Onii-chan", Ryuhi would feel weird, and not quite right!

　　"Then what name should I use? Senpai?" Kaori tilted her head, trying to think of words Ryuji could accept.

　　"Can."

　　Maki played with the ends of her hair, feeling that she couldn't join in on the conversation.

　　She was the one who called him 'Senpai' in the first place.

　　"Senpai, can you promise me one thing?" Kaori asked while eating the Éclair.

　　Ryuji frowned, "Tell me."

　　"Could you play that song for me again, please!" Kaori sat on the bed, looking somewhat inconspicuous.

　　"This..." Ryuji asked with difficulty.

　　"This is a hospital."

　　Maki said: "It's okay, there is a special music room here."

　　"...Why does the hospital have a room like that!"

　　"Because I come here sometimes," Maki said naturally.

　　Okay.

　　Ryuji fell silent.

　　After receiving an affirmative answer, Karoi jumped out of bed and put a coat on her body.

　　"Let's go, Senpai!" Kaori pulled Ryuji excitedly.

　　"Wait for me!" Maki stamped her foot and caught up with the two people in front of her.

　　Hospitals are places that need quiet, so the music room is designed to be completely soundproof.

　　There are many musical instruments throughout the room, including pianos, violins, trumpets and so on.

　　Maki is a gifted girl, apart from the piano which she is most familiar with, she also masters other musical instruments.

　　Under the expectant gazes of the two girls, Ryuji sat down on the chair helplessly, and placed his neither slender nor white fingers on the keys.

　　It wouldn't be a lie for him to say that he didn't know music, the instrument he was most familiar with was the clarinet he learned in elementary school.

　　But who gave him [Wisdom of Dún Scáith].

　　The BUG level of this skill is almost comparable to [Imperial Privilege]. Except for the exclusive abilities of some Heroic Spirits, it is possible to attain C~B Rank proficiency in almost any ability.

　　Just a piano, that's a piece of cake!

　　Ryuji took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he had turned into a legendary pianist, his fingers nimbly dancing across the keys.

　　A melodious melody burst out from the piano, and Maki and Kaori fell into the sea of music.

　　Listening to the music, Maki bit her lip tightly. She played this part many times, but she still couldn't play the effect that Ryuji gave Muse.

　　Now that she heard this song again, she felt a bit frustrated, Ryuji had lost his musical talent!

　　Compared to Maki, Kaori's thinking was much simpler.

　　Tormented by her illness, she was afraid to move forward and stopped where she was.

　　In Ryuji's song, she is persistent and unwilling to resign herself to fate, which attracts her.

　　Kaori was moved to tears...
