"Yan Kai, male, from the Central Plains, fifteen years old, an international student from the Central Plains, currently studying at the private Shenjian School, a first grader, no friends, no clubs..."
Nito Hisako reported the newly collected information about Yan Kai to Nakiri Erina one by one. Nakiri Erina frowned more and more as she listened.
This sounds nothing like the high-spirited chef I saw in the back kitchen of Xinchuan Building before?
"Fei Shasha, stop!"
Nakiri Erina called a stop, and Nito Hisako immediately closed his mouth.
"Hisako, where is Yan Sang now?" Nakiri Erina asked.
Listening to this information would be a waste of time, so she decided to see Yan Kai in person.
"It should be that he plays the piano at the teahouse opposite Xinchuan Building, where he works part-time as a piano teacher." Nito Feishao has already read Yan Kai's information in general, and remembers that Yan Kai should be at a teahouse on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays of every week. Be a luthier.
What a luthier!
Nakiri Erina felt that she had not encountered as many strange things this year as she had in the past two days.
A chef with superb cooking skills actually became a piano player? What the hell is this? Is there a way to practice cooking in the Central Plains? I haven’t even heard of this method of spiritual practice!
"Fei Shasha, prepare the car, let's go see what Yan Sang is playing!"
Nakiri Erina ordered.
"Yes, Miss Erina, do you have to turn down the tasting appointment made today?" Nito Hisako asked.
"Put it down." Nakiri Erina nodded, and after thinking for a while, she added, "Put it down all the food tastings in the past few days. After eating Yan Sang's food, I have no taste for anything else. , such a tasting is meaningless.”
The aftertaste of yesterday's palm-shaped world is still lingering on Nakiri Erina's proud divine tongue. Everything she eats tastes like chewing wax, unless she eats Yan Kai's food again, or in a few days. , let the aftertaste disappear completely, otherwise Erina Nakiri's God's Tongue will be considered half-used.
This is not to say that Nakiri Erina has lost her sense of taste. On the contrary, it should be said that Nakiri Erina's divine tongue has become more sensitive now. Any dish in Nakiri Erina's mouth is full of flaws and is forced. Eating those dishes would only make Erina Nakiri vomit.
Arriving at the teahouse, Nakiri Erina almost didn't get in. It was only then that she realized that this shabby teahouse was actually a membership-only restaurant!
Finally, Nakiri Erina applied for a membership card using her status as the heir of the Totsuki Group, and was able to enter.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Erina, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for not investigating clearly!"
Nito Hisako desperately apologized to Nakiri Erina. Just now, it was because of her that the heir of the Nakiri family was humiliated. If Nito Hisako had a short sword in his hand now, she would even wish to commit seppuku directly to apologize.
"It's okay, Hisako, it's not your fault." Although Nakiri Erina is very strict and even strict with other people and cannot tolerate any failure on their part, she still treats Nito Hisako, who has grown up with her since childhood. Very tolerant, such a small mistake, no, this is not a mistake at all, how could she blame Nito Hisako for this.
As soon as you enter the hall, you are greeted by the elegant and distant sound of the piano.
Nakiri Erina is not only an excellent cook, but she was born into a wealthy family and had to receive elite education whether she likes it or not, so she naturally has a high appreciation for music.
The sound of the piano is very moving, but just one word of "good" cannot describe it. In addition to the pleasant sound, there is also a more profound realm. This is the rare thing about the sound of the piano.
The teacher who taught Nakiri Erina the music was a master figure known as the "Japanese National Treasure". She told Nakiri Erina that music can be good or bad, and singing can also have different styles, but it all depends on personal preference and it is difficult to It can be distinguished as superior or inferior, but this method of music can actually be divided into multiple realms.
The first level is "skilled", which refers to proficiency in musical skills and being able to play or sing accurately according to the music score. Most of the current singers and idols are in this level. Of course, some idols who purely sell their personality may not even be in this level. arrive.
The second level is "integrating emotions", which allows you to integrate your own emotions and moods into your performance, making your performance and singing extremely contagious, allowing the audience to feel the emotions in the music, and even resonate with the music.
Those singers and divas who were once popular are in this realm, or have briefly reached this realm due to various internal and external factors.
This second level is already amazing, but the third level is even more incredible.
The third level is called "entry". When the method of music reaches this level, it can even bring the listener into the wonderland of music. All the emotions, anger, sorrow, and thoughts will be controlled by the musician.
It's a pity that such a state has been achieved by few people throughout the ages, and there are probably very few people in the world today.
When he said this, the master sounded very regretful.
In today's impetuous society, there are too few people who are willing to work hard and improve their musical literacy. If you have the time, write more songs for idol singers to sing and dance to let those nerds pay IQ tax. Isn’t it good?
The master also mentioned that above the third realm, there is a realm of transcendence and sainthood. However, there seems to be no such person in the world today. Even the master has never been lucky enough to see it. So in the end, this realm is Even the master doesn't know what kind of mystery there is, and he can't explain why.
In the end, the master complained to Nakiri Erina with regret. When she was young, in order to improve her musical attainments, she went to the Central Plains, the source of Japanese rhythm, to study. While studying, she met a ten-year-old Seven is a peerless miraculous woman who has reached the pinnacle of the third realm. The master believes that if there is anyone in this world who can transcend the world and become a saint in the way of music, that miraculous woman will definitely be the first choice!
It is a pity that I heard that she was not able to continue on the road of music. Instead, she inherited the family business and started doing business. She was tainted with the smell of copper. Later, although I heard that she was undefeated in the Central Plains shopping malls and gained both fame and fortune. , but to the master, her behavior is really like burning the harp and boiling the crane, and is unworthy of success. Even if she has great achievements in business, it will be in vain!
From the sound of Yan Kai's piano now, Nakiri Erina can tell that Yan Kai is at least "melting love", and even "entering the country".
But the biggest difference between merging and entering is that the person who is mingling is also controlled by his emotions, while the person who is entering can control his emotions but is not affected by them.
To put it simply, a person who is in love can only convey emotions through music. If he wants to make the audience happy after listening to the music, he must also be happy, but a person who is in love can create emotions out of thin air. Even if he is in an angry mood, he can still It pulls the listener into a joyful state of mind, and it will only be deeper than the emotional one.
This should be easy to distinguish, but now Yan Kai is playing a song that is soothing and calming, and he has a calm expression, so Erina Nakiri really can't tell whether he is "melting love" or "entry" ".
However, the music was really pleasant to the ear. Even Nakiri Erina's impetuous mood because she couldn't recruit Yan Kai immediately calmed down. She even became careful with her movements, for fear of making strange noises that would disturb Yan Kai's performance.
Nakiri Erina and Nito Hisako slowly took their seats. At this time, there were only a few empty seats. They could only find the seats behind Yan Kai like Busujima Saeko who came for the first time.
It's good this way. You don't have to meet Yan Kai directly to avoid embarrassment.
But Busujima Saeko, who was not here for the first time, got a seat in front of Yankai this time because he arrived early.
This is not the second time Busujima Saeko comes. After the first time, every time Yan Kai plays, she will come early to take a seat. Naturally, Yan Kai has noticed the existence of Busujima Saeko and will play from time to time. Give her some small benefits.
Ah, not that kind of benefit!
After the song ended, Yan Kai began to change the incense again. This time he performed these operations dexterously with only one hand, and put the other hand under the piano case to secretly open the line and send a message to Busujima Saeko.
"Saeko, what do you want to hear?"
Yan Kai is very good at playing the music he chooses. He can play whatever he wants when he feels like it. Others are not qualified to "take orders", but for Busujima Saeko, he doesn't mind giving it to her. A little privilege.
Busujima Saeko snickered after receiving the message. It felt so good to have such privileges.
"Is it okay to ambush from all sides, Kaijun?"
Yan Kai glanced at the message, smiled slightly, arranged the shape of the incense into a galloping horse, and then played the piano with both hands - rather than replying to the message, he preferred to use practical actions to tell Busujima Saeko the answer.
The sonorous and sharp sound sounded, which was undoubtedly contrary to the characteristics of the guqin's deep tone and long lingering sound. It also made other calm tea drinkers feel a sudden chill in their hearts.
The sound of fighting sounded, and the tea guests in the teahouse felt like they were on a battlefield. Thousands of troops and horses were arrayed around them, and the army was ready to go. The atmosphere of war was about to emerge.
Nakiri Erina was also moved in her heart. She no longer had to wonder whether Yan Kai was "melting love" or "entering the world." She didn't believe the magic power that pulled people's souls into the fantasy world if it wasn't "entering the world."
A majestic battle that makes people feel frightened, but also makes them feel intoxicated.
None of the people who can enter this teahouse are ordinary people. Most of them have never touched weapons and have been in the business, sea and political circles. They have heard too much about the sound of decadence, but they are not decadent. The sound of weapons does not frighten them. On the contrary, Invigorated their past ambitions.
Enjoyable, so enjoyable!
These tea guests come to the teahouse to listen to music, originally for peace of mind. It is a great comfort to them to have a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle of the world.
But Yan Kai changed his tone at this time, turning from Qingyao to sonorous, but changed the tranquilizer into a cardiotonic, which greatly stimulated them. Of course, this will not make them make much change, but at least now, they have regained their I am definitely happy to have lost the impulsive energy of my youth.
This kid...
Mr. Kamijou's originally squinted eyes widened at this moment, and he cursed with a smile. Of course, he didn't mean to blame Yan Kai.
Not to mention, I have listened to so many soothing songs, and hearing something so intense all of a sudden is really refreshing.
I originally thought about going to bed early today, but it seems that I should go find an old friend and play a few games of Go.
Nakiri Erina groaned secretly in her heart.
She originally thought that Yan Kai was just a chef, but now it seems that his great ability is not just his cooking skills.
If you want to impress the chef with the conditions that impress him, I'm afraid it won't be the right medicine.
And with money...
Yan Kai doesn't have much need for money. Xinhu Feishao told her that the general manager of Xinchuan Building wanted to give Yan Kai a salary increase several times, but Yan Kai refused. Yan Kai said that he only wanted a living allowance. , I brought too much money, it was too heavy.
If anyone else said this, Nakiri Erina would only think that this was either playing hard to get or trying to gain fame.
But Yan Kai is probably really like this.
The master who taught Erina Nakiri music and Erina Nakiri once said that if you want to go a long way in the path of music, you must avoid having deep desires. Music will reflect people's hearts. People who are greedy will never reach music. of a profound state.
Therefore, it is normal for a person with profound musical attainments to have a pure heart and few desires, and Yan Kai is exactly a person with very profound musical attainments.
However, no matter how pure-hearted a person is, he must have something he wants in his heart. It is impossible for a person to live without desires, but what exactly is Yan Kai's desire? Nakiri Erina couldn't think of anything.
"Fei Shasha, does it say in Yan Sang's information why he came to study in Japan?"
Nakiri Erina asked Nito Hisako with one ten thousandth hope.
"This..." When Nakiri Erina asked, Nito Hisako remembered that there did seem to be such a piece of information in the information, but no matter how she thought about it, the information looked like nonsense, so she did not ask Nakiri Erina. Rina reports.
Nakiri Erina is the heir to the Totsuki Group, the tenth seat of the Ten Elite Council of Gengetsu Academy, and the "Tongue of God". Each of her identities carries huge responsibilities. Every day, she has to deal with everything. This is by no means an adjective. There is too much information. It gathered on her and she needed to process it, but there was also a lot of useless and untrue information, which would only waste Nakiri Erina's precious energy.
As Nakiri Erina's secretary, one of Nito Hisako's jobs is to help Nakiri Erina filter out some useless and untrue information, provide Nakiri Erina with the most accurate and effective information at any time, and relieve Nakiri Erina's What Nito Hisako thinks of now is the information she originally thought was false and wrong.
"I inquired and found out that the reason for studying in Yan Sang's visa was to come to Japan to draw comics. However, I think this is impossible. Maybe the staff confused Yan Sang's information with other people's information. …”
The Ai Ai Tunnel in the Feisha River in New House.
"ha?"
Not only did Nito Hisako think this information was ridiculous, but even Nakiri Erina's first reaction after hearing what Nito Hisako relayed was, what the hell is this? A piano player who can’t draw comics is not a good cook?
