Chapter 368

~7 min read 1,249 words

The children looked at Akiba Reiko with anticipation.

"Our class agreed to practice chorus together in the school's music classroom at two o'clock the day after tomorrow. Brother Akaso promised to help us with piano accompaniment, but the person who was supposed to teach us how to sing has something to do and can't come."

"Brother Akaso?" Akiba Reiko muttered, it sounded a bit familiar...

It wouldn't be that person, would it?

Her eyes couldn't help but light up.

Ayumi said, "Brother Akaso plays the piano very well, but we are still missing someone who can sing the Teitan Elementary School anthem."

"Teitan Elementary School anthem, huh."

Akiba Reiko's cold face softened a lot, she coughed lightly, stood up from her seat and said, "Alright, I agree to teach you how to sing, considering that I am also a graduate of Teitan Elementary School."

Teitan Elementary School, because it was Sunday, there was no one to be seen in the whole school, only the intermittent piano sound in the music classroom, as if someone was tuning.

Baseball cap, jacket, jeans, dressed like a tomboy, carrying a bag, Akiba Reiko paused outside the corridor, closing her eyes slightly to listen.

Every note was very accurate, and the tuning level was very professional.

Walking into the music classroom with curiosity, Akiba Reiko followed the sound and looked at the piano surrounded by children. The one tuning was actually a very handsome young man.

Just as she came over, the tuning was finished, and the boy played the tune fluently amidst the chattering voices of the children.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have almost thought it was a professional musician here. Although it wasn't a particularly difficult piece, this level was far beyond that of ordinary musicians.

"It really is Lord Akaso!" Seeing the young man's face clearly, Akiba Reiko was slightly startled.

Akaso Kaze, who often appeared on TV, is hard for anyone who pays a little attention to forget that handsome face.

But no one said he played the piano so well, and his pitch was so accurate that he would be more than enough to be a tuner for a famous pianist like Domoto Kazuki.

Walking into the classroom and listening for a while, Akiba Reiko couldn't help but be a little dazed, looking at Akaso Kaze, her eyes shining with brilliance.

The Yin-Yang Master's piano playing is truly perfect, not a single flaw can be found.

"Ah, Miss Reiko!" Genta discovered Akiba Reiko who had arrived, and hurriedly greeted, "The teacher is here, everyone line up quickly, let's try singing once!"

Akaso Kaze stopped playing and looked back at the beautiful woman at the door.

Even the baseball cap couldn't hide her elegant and noble temperament.

"Children, I'm here, let's start."

Akiba Reiko walked to Akaso Kaze's side, avoiding the man's gaze somewhat unnaturally, turned around and said to the children.

The class chorus team, in addition to Ayumi and the others, had a few other children, plus Ai and the extra Conan, making up 9 people.

Akaso Kaze didn't know why they chose Conan, who was tone-deaf, so to avoid wasting time, he pulled Conan out and made him the conductor.

He knew very well that Conan was hopeless, so it was best not to let him sing.

"Ready..."

Conan stood on the side as the conductor with a collapsed face. As Akaso Kaze's prelude sounded, the children standing in two rows sang along with the beat.

After Conan stopped making trouble, the chorus sounded pretty good.

Although there were some flaws, the crisp children's voices were quite good, and under Akaso Kaze's top-level piano accompaniment, it was light and full of vitality.

Akaso Kaze didn't stick completely to the score of the Teitan Elementary School anthem, but made slight changes according to the children's singing, guiding and setting off, and even Ai, who was cold and sleepy at first, sang with spirit.

Akiba Reiko was fascinated by the singing.

Because of her absolute pitch, she could hear everyone's singing voice clearly, especially the sound of the piano.

The more she listened, the more respectful she became, and she couldn't help but glance at Akaso Kaze who was concentrating on playing.

This level is enough to hold a solo concert, and he still comes to teach elementary school students for a chorus competition.

The Yin-Yang Master's personality is really gentle.

After singing a song, Ayumi blinked her big eyes and said: "Sister Reiko, Brother Akaso is amazing, right?"

Akiba Reiko nodded: "It's really unexpected, Lord Akaso also has absolute pitch."

"Absolute pitch?" The children were confused.

Akiba Reiko explained: "Absolute pitch means that the pitch is perfect. There are not many people in Japan or even the world who have such ability, and I was born like this."

Akaso Kaze smiled without saying a word. His piano level came from a famous musician he had heard a while ago.

Things like absolute pitch are easily available to him.

Ayumi and the others heard about absolute pitch for the first time, and they all thought it was amazing.

"So Sister Reiko sings so well, and Brother Akaso plays the piano so well, right?"

Genta shouted: "Brother Akaso and Sister Reiko are both born with absolute pitch, you are really a match made in heaven."

"Yeah, they really are a good match," Mitsuhiko also shouted happily.

Adults should match adults.

Little Ayumi is ours.

Huh?

Akaso Kaze was stunned.

The words sounded smooth, but why did it feel a bit strange?

Ayumi muttered unhappily: "Brother Akaso is my..."

Hearing the child's words, Akiba Reiko blushed immediately.

She changed the subject embarrassedly.

"Actually, I don't know if you have to have absolute pitch to be a musician, but there are indeed many musicians who want to have absolute pitch.

Mr. Pu, who used to be a piano tuner, developed absolute pitch through acquired training. It can only be said that for musicians, it is a key to the top..."

Time passed quickly, and the sun was setting.

Akiba Reiko said: "As for the singing part, I have given all the suggestions I should give. The rest depends on your own practice. After you sing better, I will come to see you again."

"Wow!" Little fatty Genta was suddenly lifted up by Akaso Kaze by the desk, screaming in mid-air.

"Genta?" Akaso Kaze looked at the little fatty who was caught red-handed and struggling, and said with a smile, "How can you take other people's things without permission?"

"I, I'm sorry," Genta looked eagerly at the thermos by Akiba Reiko's bag, "but if I drink this, I can win the chorus competition."

Akiba Reiko walked over, picked up the thermos, and said with a smile, "Tea is just to moisten the throat, how can you win the championship by relying on this?"

"I'm sorry."

The little fatty lowered his head, looking like he had been hit hard.

Akiba Reiko checked her watch and finally exhorted, "Just sing according to the method I taught you, and there will be no problem winning the chorus competition."

These brats probably don't know how excellent Lord Akaso's piano accompaniment is. Even without her guidance on singing, it's enough to help elementary school students win the championship.

Elementary school teachers don't have absolute pitch like her, and can easily hear every sound.

And in Akiba Reiko's opinion, after her advice, it was enough to correct the shortcomings of these children.
