The spotlight hit Maki's body, reflecting the girl's soft face.
Her eyes swept all over the place, and even though there were so many people, she locked on to the target in an instant.
"He's coming!"
Seeing that person, Maki's agitated heart calmed down, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
At this time, let her offer everything!
Ignoring the excited crowd, Maki sat down at the piano, placed her slender fingers on the keys, and played the sounds of nature.
Ryuji looked at Kaori who was lying on the back of the chair, and asked strangely, "What are you doing?"
Kaori smiled awkwardly: "It's fine."
On the stage, Maki played the following songs that no piano master had ever heard, and the beautiful tunes immediately touched people's hearts.
"What is this song?"
"Could it be that this little girl created it herself? If so, she must be a piano genius!"
The judges were full of praise, as if they had witnessed the birth of another piano master.
"This part..." Ryuji smiled. This was the piece he commissioned Mozart to create at the time, and it was also an opportunity to form a bond with Muse.
Bright notes flew through the air, and the audience was immersed in the beautiful music.
At first, Maki could only play this part, without integrating her own feelings.
And now, her music can make people cry!
...
After the short music ended, Maki left the keys with both hands, and everyone seemed to be still in the sea of music.
She glanced at the auditorium, Ryuji was still far away, but there was a figure of a blonde girl beside him.
Maki's expression suddenly became ugly, she thanked the stage quickly, and stepped back behind the scenes.
Kaori watched Maki, turned pale, and hurriedly took Ryuji's hand and left.
"Senpai, let's go~~!"
Ryuji didn't understand, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter." Kaori lacked self-confidence, clearly guilty of betrayal.
When they were walking to the exit, Maki who had changed was already blocking here.
"Where do you want to go!" Maki said coldly with her hand on her chest.
"Maki is so scary." Kaori hid behind Ryuji.
"Because of whom do you think!" Maki rarely gets angry.
"Hehehe." Kaori had no effect.
"What happened?" Ryuji asked.
Maki gritted her teeth and said: "Kaori's physical condition is very bad recently, she must have secretly escaped this time!"
As the hospital director's daughter, Kaori's current situation was simply not being able to get a discharge permit!
"This…" Kaori felt aggrieved, like a child who had been caught stealing candy by her parents.
Maki had a complicated heart, even though Kaori snuck out because of her, she was also worried about her body.
"Senpai..." Kaori looked at Ryuji pitifully, wishing he could help her intercede.
Ryuji shook his head in amusement, and pleaded for Kaori.
"Nothing happened anyway, let's just forget about it this time."
Kaori clasped her hands together and winked at Maki.
"Forget it~"
Maki had always listened to Ryuji's words, and even he said so, the girl could only sulk to herself.
Ryuji smiled, it was rare for the always-mature Maki to show such a childish side.
"Shouldn't you be waiting for the results of the competition?" Asked Kaori.
"Hmph, the results of the competition are meaningless!" Maki blushed a little, because it had already been conveyed to the person who wanted to convey it.
"As expected of Maki, you are very confident in a competition of this level!" Kaori thought she was really confident.
Suddenly, the girl felt her legs lose strength, and her body fell under the influence of gravity.
Everything happened so suddenly that even Ryuji couldn't react in time.
Kaori fell face down on the ground, and Maki suddenly panicked.
"Kaori! What's wrong with you!" Maki helped Kaori up, the girl's face was pale and a little lethargic.
Ryuji frowned, took Kaori's hand, and injected magic power into her body to check her condition.
Implementation of [Wisdom of Dún Scáith]!
Kaori's condition was more serious than Ryuji thought. Many of the cells in the girl's body had become necrotic, and the birth of new cells could not keep up with the rate of cell necrosis.
In medicine, such a condition should be called cancer!
"No, seeing such a scene by Maki and Senpai would be worrying." Kaori spoke with difficulty while forcing a smile.
She is very kind, even now she still thinks of others.
Ryuji held her hand tightly, showing a reassuring smile.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Those simple words were reassuring, and Kaori was no longer afraid.
