After playing one song, Ryuji breathed a sigh of relief. His character was unsuited to playing the piano, and he felt uncomfortable just sitting.
"You..." Ryuji turned his head and saw a beautiful sight.
The girl named Miyazono Kaori covered her mouth with tears running down her cheeks.
"Etooo..." Ryuji was confused, why is this girl crying, what does it mean? Could it be that he's playing really badly?
[Wisdom of Dún Scáith] gave him a B-Rank [Appreciation of the Arts] skill.
The simpler the ability, the higher the proficiency, so abilities without combat power like [Appreciation of the Arts] had been raised to the highest theoretical value.
What is the concept of Rank B?
Although it doesn't look strong, it is actually a national level ability, which is slightly worse than the world level!
Therefore, her appearance couldn't be displeasing... could it?
Well, since it was Ryuji's first time playing the piano, he didn't know exactly what to do.
"I really am ugly?" Ryuuji muttered.
"How could it be, Senpai's music touched me so much! Maki-chan must think so too!" Kaori said excitedly.
Maki played with the ends of her hair, pretending not to care, and said tsunderely: "Okay, just so-so."
"As long as you like it." Ryuji smiled lightly.
It was great that he didn't embarrass himself in front of the girls.
"Senpai, can you promise me one more thing?" Kaori asked boldly.
If it was anyone else, Ryuji would feel like he was being used, but for some reason, the girl in front of him didn't give him that feeling.
"What is it?"
"I want to enter a violin competition, but I need a piano accompaniment!"
Ryuji's expression froze, he really doesn't understand music!
"What about Maki? She also plays the piano very well," Ryuji asked.
Maki glared at him, was this irony?
"I can't do it, and there is activity on Muse's side," said Maki.
Maki has to be in charge of the muse composition, and also participate in the daily training, and time is tight.
"Isn't Miyazono sick, can you participate in the competition in such a state?" Ryuji asked.
"It's okay, I'm very strong!" Kaori showed an arm, and those slender arms really couldn't be seen as 'strong'.
Ryuji couldn't help but look at the girl's eyes full of hope and expectation, and finally let go: "I don't believe I'm free during the competition."
"I will always wait for Senpai!" said Kaori stubbornly.
...
Ryuji and Maki left the hospital.
"Take me home!" Maki asked.
"You should use honorifics when you ask."
Maki gritted her teeth, "Please take me home!"
Ryuji couldn't help but laugh, in fact he would have sent Maki home even if she didn't say anything. The streets at night are not as safe as they seem.
"By the way, what's wrong with that girl?" Ryuji was embarrassed to ask in front of patients, so asked Maki.
Miyazono Kaori looked normal, except for the IV needle hole, no other traces could be seen on her body, and her cheerful appearance was nothing like that of a patient.
But it is precisely this way that is more dangerous, there are no visible traces, indicating that the problem lies in the body.
Maki was silent for a while, and said: "SCD, the academic name is spinocerebellar degeneration."
Ryuji didn't know much about medicine, but just by the name, he could tell it was a very troublesome disease.
"This disease will gradually turn people into a vegetative state, and finally the brain will be inactive." Maki said: "Currently there is no effective treatment, and it can only be treated through rehabilitation."
Ryuji didn't care. The things that modern technology couldn't solve didn't mean Magecraft couldn't solve them.
Although most Magecraft can now be realized through modern technology, there are still some Magecraft that cannot be performed by technology.
Only Nightingale's Noble Phantasm, [I Will Abstain From WhateverIs Deleterious And Mischievous], is sufficient to overcome all ailments.
Kaori gave Ryuji a good feeling, if something unexpected happened he wouldn't mind saving her life.
The topic of her friend's illness was rather heavy, so Maki didn't talk anymore on the street.
"It's here." Maki obeyed in front of a luxury villa, and the doorplate said Nishikino.
"Don't think too much, have more confidence in your friends." Ryuji rubbed Maki's head, and she blushed.
"My hair is a mess!" Maki said that she was tsundere as usual.
"Shocking scene." A mature female voice sounded, and Ryuji paused for a moment.
"Mom!" Maki called out to the woman who had suddenly appeared, her face getting even redder.
Ryuji's face was a bit unnatural, why did he have to get caught every time he sent a girl home, Eriri, and so did Kotori!
Ryuji lowered his hand from Maki's head, calmly.
"Hi Auntie, I'm Maki's friend, Hyakki Ryuji."
This kind of action, this tone of voice, was surprisingly proficient!
