Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

"Although there is no festival for us to attend," Suzuki Sonoko said seriously in the Poirot Cafe, "we can participate in another conference."

"What?" Nagai Hikaru, who was dragged out by Suzuki Sonoko again, poked the ice cubes in the orange juice out of boredom.

"High school girls' band! Band!" Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly.

Nagai Mitsuru stood up with a frown on his face and was about to leave.

Suzuki Sonoko hugged his waist and pulled him back: "Xiao Guang, I was wrong. It's the orchestra. Just the orchestra. There's no other prefix."

"Hmph." Nagai Hikaru sat down again and looked at Mao Lilan. "What has stimulated her recently?"

Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly: "It's a popular movie recently."

"And we can assign roles based on their faces, right?" Suzuki Sonoko pointed at herself, "Me, the drummer, even our hairstyle is the same." Then she pointed at Nagai Hikaru, "The keyboard player, the blonde lady." Then there was Maori Ran, "The good student bassist with long black straight hair."

Sera Masumi was a little confused: "What about me? What about me?"

"Although your hair is slightly curly and not chestnut, it doesn't matter. You will be the lead singer and guitarist." Suzuki Sonoko nodded.

"Wait, I don't know how to play the bass." Mao Lilan refused first.

"I can play the bass a little, but not the guitar." Sera Masumi shook his head.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Nagai Hikaru and said, "Don't say you don't know how to play the keyboard. You had a piano at home when you were a child."

Nagai Hikaru touched his face and said, "Xiaolan knows a little bit, but we can't have two keyboard players, right?"

"…Then learn it, Xiaolan! Guitar is very simple! You have long black hair." Suzuki Sonoko looked at Mao Lilan seriously and said, "Just learn it casually."

"Why me? Where's Hikaru?"

"Of course it's because of the hairstyle! Hikaru's long golden hair is for the keyboard player." Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips, "Our band, from the face to the hairstyle, perfectly fits the movie configuration."

Conan whispered beside him, "This forced hairstyle is too unreasonable. Now that the bass and guitar have changed their hairstyles, why do the others have to match?"

"Anyway, if you want a new musical instrument, I have more time. Xiaolan has to go to school, and I can learn guitar during the day. Our current problem is that we lack a lead singer." Nagai Mitsuru continued to stir the orange juice while supporting his face.

"Isn't Sera the bassist? Then she must be the lead singer." Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly.

"So in the end, only Sonoko has a hairstyle that fits the movie." Mao Lilan laughed dryly and looked at Nagai Hikaru, "And you're learning guitar, Hikaru, are you sure?"

"But even if we form this band, where will we perform?" Conan couldn't help but complain.

"Clang clang clang, that's it, the New Year's Eve countdown performance competition in Mihua Town. And then win the championship beautifully in one fell swoop." Suzuki Sonoko excitedly pulled out a recruitment form.

"There's not much time left, right? Xiaoguang has to learn a musical instrument right now..." Mao Lilan said worriedly, "Guitar should be difficult, right?"

Nagai Hikaru waved his hand: "It's just a guitar, you can learn it by just playing it casually."

"You are really a young lady. Then try playing. I can lend you my guitar." The two uncles next to her sneered and said, "We will also connect a portable speaker for you. You can make sound when you play directly." Then they took out a guitar from their bag and handed it to her.

"That's not good..." Suzuki Sonoko's face twitched.

The man with sunglasses looked at Nagai Hikaru and said, "You can do it just by playing it casually, right? If so, play it here for me, little sister."

Nagai Mitsuru looked at the uncle blankly and said, "Is it painful for you to learn? Because you have no talent."

"You are the one bragging. Have you really played it before?" the uncle laughed. "You are talking nonsense when you haven't even played it before."

"Ah, yes, I haven't played it before. Can you tell me where the notes are first? I believe that after you know Doremi and these, the rest will not be difficult, right?" Nagai Mitsuru put down the orange juice straw and said seriously.

"How shameless you are, little sister! You don't even know Doremi. Oh, do you want me to teach you first?" The uncle continued to laugh at me.

"Let me teach her." Toru Amuro, who was working as a waiter and had been listening for a while, came over. "I can teach her. I believe she can learn quickly. This is really not difficult."

"Then teach us now!" The uncle saw Amuro Toru coming over and saw that he was a handsome guy. He became even angrier and slammed the table. "Your coffee shop is really good. The staff all look down on guitarists, right?"

"I don't look down on you." Nagai Mitsuru's half-moon eyes were helpless, "But it shouldn't be hard to just learn it, right? The hard part is just being excellent."

"Yeah, the only difficult thing is to be excellent." Amuro Toru took the guitar, asked Nagai Hikaru to stand up, hung the guitar on him, put his arms around Nagai Hikaru from behind, and took his hands and put them on the guitar strings. "Okay, hold the guitar like this, and I'll teach you how to play it."

A drop of sweat dripped from Sera Masumi's head, and he looked at Suzuki Sonoko: "I think this picture is not right."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were full of excitement: "That's absolutely right! It's absolutely right!"

Conan looked at him with a dark face: What is this? Someone is using a guitar to make things difficult for you, what is this? Hey, he has already hugged it!

Amuro Toru hugged Nagai Hikaru from behind, his head over his shoulder, his breath next to his ear, and he smiled softly and said, "Most instruments have seven notes, and the music theory is universal. You should understand it since you learned piano. First, press here with your left hand, and this with your right hand. This is the fret position, and this is the bottle position. One finger controls one bottle position. This is bottle one, bottle two, bottle three, and bottle four is the pinky finger."

He held Nagai Hikaru's left hand and pressed it on the left string of the guitar. Each finger gently touched Nagai Hikaru's, completely overlapping. Amuro Toru took his right hand and plucked another string: "This is the first string. Look, 1...2...3...4."

The man in sunglasses was a little shocked: "What do you mean by this?"

"Teach her." Amuro Toru raised his head and smiled, "Or are you afraid that she will really be able to play it after learning seven notes?"

Another uncle grabbed the one wearing sunglasses and wanted to watch the show: "Oh, I want to see what you can teach him. If you can't teach him, you will be embarrassed in front of the girl."

Nagai Hikaru turned to look at Amuro Toru in panic. Amuro Toru smiled at him and said gently, "Don't worry, this is much easier than your training. Besides, you have learned piano. Here, your hand is here, it's the second string. Remember to keep your finger on it and don't let go."

Suzuki Sonoko clasped her hands together, her whole body twisted into a knot, and she almost took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. She whispered, "Isn't this the novel I want to see reflected in reality?"

Conan's face turned dark: "Hey, hey, hey, are you serious?"

Mao Lilan sighed: "I hope I don't screw it up."

After about ten minutes, Nagai Mitsuru had figured out the seven notes and had a rough idea of ​​the strings.

The uncle started to make a noise: "You have already learned seven notes, play them, start playing them!"

Mao Lilan frowned in worry.

The man in sunglasses laughed loudly: "Come on, if you have the ability, hold her and play the whole song, hahahaha."

Amuro Toru's voice was calm, giving people a very stable feeling: "Don't worry about them, now let's try to connect the sound, how about little twinkle?"

Nagai Hikaru nodded: "Thank you, I will."

"Well, if you can play the seven-note electric guitar, you're already halfway there." Amuro Toru said with a smile.

"I know how to play it. Let me try." Nagai Hikaru took a step forward, leaving Amuro Toru's embrace, and slightly leaned to adjust the hem of her skirt. "Since I've only learned it for a short while, I'll just play a simple one."

After that, he tried playing two notes and took a deep breath: "Luckily I have a manicure, otherwise my fingers would hurt."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Play it!" The uncle with sunglasses was a little panicked. No way, is there really someone who can do it like this?

Nagai Mitsuru looked down at the strings and started playing.

The music isn't exactly smooth, but the tempo is right.

Conan got goosebumps all over his body: "Summer?!"

Mao Lilan covered her mouth with her hands in surprise: "Really...really, Kikujiro's summer..."

The music stopped after only 30 seconds, and Nagai Hikaru didn't continue: "Sorry, it seems that the scale changes later, and I haven't learned it yet."

Taking down the guitar, Nagai Hikaru handed the electric guitar to the stunned uncle: "It is quite difficult. I still need to work hard to learn it."

After the two uncles left, Suzuki Sonoko hugged Nagai Hikaru and rubbed her face against his: "Oh my God, Hikaru, you are so great!"

Being pressed and rubbed by Suzuki Sonoko for a while, Nagai Hikaru struggled for a while: "I only know this one song, just one song!"

"Yes." Mao Lilan smiled, "When I was a child, Xiaoguang liked to play this song on the piano."

Amuro Toru was amazed at Nagai Hikaru's playing, and walked over and asked with a smile: "Why? Does this song have any special meaning to Hikaru?"

"They said it was because it was simple." Mao Lilan shook her head, "There are many songs that are simpler than this. But Shinichi guessed a reason."

"What?" Sera Masumi also became curious.

"It's because Xiaoguang thinks a lot. When he was very young, we felt that Xiaoguang was not like a child. He would consider the consequences before doing things and would never make decisions for interest or impulse. Xiaoguang would always want to achieve a certain purpose in everything he did."

"Purpose?" Amuro Toru was a little surprised.

“Shinichi said that Hikaru actually wanted to do some meaningless things, looking forward to the miracle of turning rocks into candies and filling a hollow bucket with water, so he would humor us and play childish games with us.

"Just like Masao who finally got to play with Kikujiro." Mao Lilan looked at Nagai Hikaru with tender eyes, "From childhood to adulthood, Hikaru has always been the adult who indulges us."

"A person who is always taking care of others?" Amuro Toru looked at Nagai Hikaru who was still struggling from Suzuki Sonoko's arms and smiled slightly, "But, she is just a child who still needs someone to take care of her."

"Mr. Amuro!" Suzuki Sonoko finally gave up rubbing Nagai Hikaru and rushed to Amuro Toru with sparkling eyes, "Please be Hikaru's guitar coach! Please, you are the most suitable!"

"…Okay…Okay, if she doesn't mind."

"Why would I mind? You two standing together are so pleasing to the eyes!"

"Thank...thank you for the compliment." Sweat dripped from Amuro Toru's forehead, and he took it as a compliment.
