[During the performance, your piano performance was not outstanding. It is no exaggeration to say that it was not worthy of Kithara Toru's level——]

[The smell of dry air and dust makes it difficult for you to breathe. It is difficult for you to keep up with the rhythm of Kithara Tetsu's beating. It feels like you are immersed in the deep sea. For a time, a large amount of seawater pours into your mouth and nose, and your ears are filled with water. , thanks to this, you can't even hear the sound of the piano. 】

[Like a body that has lost its soul, you play a soulless tune step by step. 】

[The judges all bowed their heads and sighed. You have explained what superfluous things are. If the piano accompaniment is removed, Kithara Toru may be able to perform better.But it doesn’t matter, according to the current level, it’s still more than enough for you to pass the pre-selection. 】

[Before the game, you thought you could cooperate well with Toru Kitahara based on your own level.But his playing style is full of freedom and does not stick to the staff. Every note of Toru Kitahara has his own idea. 】

[You praise him for being really free, simply freedom itself. 】

[Kitahara Toru replied——]

["Wrong, it is the music that is free, not me."]

[Hearing this, you seem to understand but not understand, as if you understand something, but feel vague and unclear. 】

[When you are 16 years old, you have a dream and a good teacher. You are convinced that your future is broad and a short period of confusion cannot knock you down. 】

【Unfortunately. 】

[At the moment when you were full of longing for the future, Kithara Toru suddenly collapsed in the lounge. It turned out that he had a low fever today, but he insisted on playing with you. Now that the game is over, he relaxed and became confused, and he could no longer force himself to continue. 】

[Half an hour later, he was sent to the hospital. 】

Chapter 53 Friend k

real world.

In a villa somewhere in Shimokitazawa, Ryo Yamada was sitting at the desk in the room, checking the messages in the simulator.

【Toru Kitahara has a cold. 】

Come again?

To be honest, Miss Liang has long been desensitized to such trivial matters after experiencing the first two simulations.

As long as you are not terminally ill with some kind of cancer, a mere cold is not worth mentioning.

Ryo Yamada really didn't believe it. After simulating three times, Toru Kitahara could die three times!

Normally, this probability is very small...

But according to the bad taste of the simulator, Ms. Liang is not sure.

"Ikudai, if something unexpected happens, you have to be strong."

Ryo Yamada may have been a loser too many times, and he could easily tell who Toru Kitahara had a crush on in the simulation.

Last time it was Hongxia, and this time, he may have a crush on Kita Ikuyo, who he gets to know day and night.

"...piano, Chopin International Competition, dream."

As Ms. Liang muttered these words, she couldn't help but recall her first simulation, when she paid too much attention to the bass and ignored Toru Kitahara's experience.

It wasn't until Kithara Toru's death that she realized what she had lost.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Yes.

People always ignore the concerns around them and take them for granted.

Yamada Ryo now only hopes that Kita Ikuyo will not make the same mistake as her.

Chopin competition? No.1?

If you lose someone who cares about you, your wish will come true...

Ikudai, can you really still be happy?

-

In a simulated world.

In a clean and tidy ward.

"You finally woke up..."

Kita Ikuyo looked at the figure of Toru Kitahara in front of him, his expression looked slightly haggard.

"You had a high fever all night. The doctor said your brain was going to be burned out. I thought you were not far from death."

What an ugly truth.

Kithara Toru turned his face to look at her.

"We agreed to win the music competition championship together...and besides, you haven't seen me win No. 1 in the competition, so you can't die so early."

As soon as he saw the hospitalization message, Kita Ikuyo panicked and hurriedly ran into the simulated world.

Last night, Kita Ikuyo stayed by Kitahara Toru's side, watching his body temperature lingering, which made him extremely worried.

Fortunately, things were much better in the morning.

No more high fever.

Kithara Toru sat up on the hospital bed and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I can't follow your wish."

Those who didn’t know better thought half of my foot was in the ground.

Then the mourning began.

What if she really passed away in a few years? At the funeral, wouldn't she have red eyes from crying?

Even for this reason, I don’t think about food and tea...

"Are you sorry?"

Kita Ikuyo quickly stood up and bowed to him to apologize.

"It's okay, I know...cough, you are just caring about me."

The slight pain coming from his abdomen made Kithara Toru feel uncomfortable.

Cancer has many side effects. The most obvious one is that immunity will decrease, otherwise you would not catch a cold.

He actually suffered the same situation as his wife and daughter in the last simulation...

This time, even the panacea couldn't save him——

Simply improving immunity cannot cure pancreatic cancer.

Can only find another way.

Unfortunately, with this physical condition, asking him to develop new drugs would be tantamount to hastening his death.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? Do you want a physical examination? What do you want to eat? Can porridge be used? Or rice... I can buy it for you." Kita Ikuyo is not very good at taking care of patients, but he has some basic knowledge about treating patients. , she still knows it very well.

For example, you should not eat heavy food, but should be lighter.

"White porridge is enough. Let me ask, how long have you stayed in the ward for me? Where did the hospitalization fee come from?"

"It's been open for three days."

Ikuyo Kita explained: "I actually wanted to prescribe it for seven days, but the doctor said that if you just have a cold and a fever, it usually won't kill you. As for the hospitalization fee, I didn't pay. The doctor said there's no need to rush, but one person in the game yesterday The judge teacher helped advance the payment and said that she would just pay it back to her when we perform next time."

There are still many good people in this world.

"It seems that I collapsed in the lounge yesterday and caused a lot of trouble for a lot of people."

Kithara Toru blamed himself slightly. He thought that according to his physical condition, he would not lose strength due to a cold.

Arrogance is harmful.

"Don't show such an expression. The judge teacher is very satisfied with your performance and keeps praising you." Kita Ikuyo comforted him.

Toru Kitahara raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, I'm a violin genius."

"Narcissist."

Kita Ikuyo teased, "Okay, I'm going to buy you breakfast, don't run around."

Kithara Toru watched her leave the ward, covered her mouth and coughed hard several times.

He originally estimated that he could live for about 5 years, but it was obvious that he overestimated himself and underestimated the power of the king of cancer.

The last time he went to the hospital for a review, the doctor asked him to stay in the hospital and cooperate with treatment. Using chemotherapy and targeted drugs, he might be able to live a few more years.

Kithara Toru did not agree.

Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.

Kitahara Tetsuya didn't want to slowly wither in the hospital. He hadn't yet blossomed into his own glory, so how could he die like an autumn leaf?

It's just a pity that he can't accompany Kita Ikuyo to the end.

He didn't even dare to confess.

ten minutes later.

Kita Ikuyo came up with a packaged portion of hot porridge.

This private hospital has a restaurant dedicated to serving patients.

"Give it to me." Kithara Toru stretched out his hand to her.

He can still eat.

"I can feed you."

Ikita Kita said seriously, "You worked so hard yesterday, let me repay you."

"... Just don't burn me."

Kitahara Toru immediately accepted her kindness. He had no reason to refuse to feed such a cute girl like Kita-chan.

"Ah~"

Kita Ikuyo said as he handed the cold porridge to his mouth.

Kithara Toru swallowed the porridge in one mouthful like a puppy.

ah, so cute!

Kita Ikuyo felt as if he had awakened some bad attributes.

No, no, I can only like Ryo-senpai.

My little heart can only accommodate one person...

But, Kitahara-san is really good-looking.

Finished breakfast in confusion.

Kita Ikuyo saw him sleeping and put away the garbage.

Then he stayed beside the hospital bed and read the music score for the next performance.

Yesterday's game was held back, but it won't happen next time.

[You noticed his concern for you. 】

[Kitahara Tooru also noticed your concern for him. 】

[It seems that the word friend can no longer describe your feelings. ——You no longer want to be his friend, you want to be his lover. 】

come on.

Kita Ikuyo returns to reality and cheers up his other self in the simulation.

Kitahara-san is really super good. As a boyfriend, he doesn't have any shortcomings except that he likes to lie.

[The qualifiers are over and the next round will be in January. 】

[After Christmas, the New Year comes soon. 】
