Chapter 582

Miss Xiangling said, a touch helpless.

No way around it—there's just too much good stuff.

Maybe,

this is the sweet burden of happiness...

"Let's read the new manga. We can just have Master Mao come watch 'Little Chef' when the time comes."

Hearing Yanfei cleverly offered a suggestion.

"Oh right!"

Hearing this, Miss Xiangling's eyes lit up.

What a great idea!

This way,

Wanmin Hall would get a chance to learn cooking, and she herself could read manga.

Two birds with one stone!

"Then I'll choose... this one!"

After thinking it over, Miss Xiangling finally picked up 'Runeland'.

After that, the two of them happily headed into the shop.

Chapter 289: Barbara: I was truly so naive—I should never have believed that scumbag Ying back then! (Seeking subscriptions)

Not long after Hearing Yanfei and the others left, quite a few more customers came in one after another.

With the arrival of this second wave of customers, the manga shop quickly livened up.

However, not long after,

Barbara came running over, her eyes red.

Tears streamed down her face.

Combined with her delicate, pretty features, she truly looked pitiable.

"Ying, you're so mean—when you recommended this manga you even said it was super healing!"

Barbara held the manga in one hand and clenched the other into a fist, looking rather unhappy as she stared at Ying.

Originally she'd believed Ying's words and, with an optimistic mindset, read all of 'Your Lie in April'.

Who knew the more she read, the more something felt off.

In the early part, the male lead gets tormented by his mother in every way.

In the later part, the female lead is plagued by illness and injury, tormenting the reader.

In the end, she simply dies.

And the entire manga is filled with all sorts of "lies."

It dealt a tremendous blow to Barbara's innocent heart.

And she'd trusted Ying so much.

She'd thought her Honorary Knight wouldn't lie to her.

Who would have known,

she was the very first one to trick her.

She really was too naive.

"Hehe, well, you see..."

Seeing Barbara standing there looking so unhappy, Ying scratched her head sheepishly,

feeling a bit embarrassed.

It seemed the blow to her was a bit heavy...

But she couldn't shoulder all the blame herself.

"It's mainly because Boss Han tricked me into thinking this was a healing manga, and I figured since it's a music manga, you'd probably like it."

"So you tricked me too?"

Barbara said, none too pleased.

Still, Ying had a point.

Although this manga was a bit of a tearjerker,

it really was good.

The only thing she found a little regrettable was that there were many scenes of musical instrument performances inside.

But she could only watch them through the manga.

She couldn't actually hear them.

One had to admit, that was a pity.

Han Feng looked at the system at this moment.

The information refreshed.

【Customer Barbara has finished reading 'Your Lie in April', reward obtained—Kousei Arima's piano skills.】

"A reward right within expectations~~."

Han Feng smiled inwardly, not particularly surprised.

As a music-themed manga,

rewards like musical instruments and instrument knowledge were perfectly normal.

Just like Paimon from the Zhiqianxiao Sect's violin back then.

But Ying's playing cards were a bit over the top.

GLOSSARY:

【Han Feng, Hearing Yanfei, Miss Xiangling, Master Mao, Zhiqianxiao Sect, Wanmin Hall, Runeland, Your Lie in April, Kousei Arima, Honorary Knight, Boss Han】

That kind of reward would only be normal in a gambling-themed manga.

Besides, Arima Kousei's piano technique is no simple matter.

In the early period, he played like a flawless robot — no matter the score, he could handle it.

Later, although he abandoned that trait, his music gained feeling, gained soul.

For music, that is extremely important.

"If Yaoshixiao's violin technique improves, we might even get to see the two of them perform a duet."

Han Feng sighed softly with emotion.

Hum—

A streak of brilliant light descended from the sky, enveloping Barbara.

Feeling new information appear in her mind, Barbara skillfully closed her eyes.

A moment later, the light faded.

"What reward did you get?"

Yingmei grew a little curious.

She got a deck of playing cards, Yaoshixiao got a violin,

and they had no idea what Barbara's reward was.

"It's Arima Kousei's piano technique."

Barbara opened her eyes and said with a smile.

"That reward isn't bad, but you don't have a piano?"

Yingmei found that a bit of a pity.

Yaoshixiao got a violin, but doesn't know how to play.

Barbara got piano technique, but has no piano.

If only the two of them could complement each other.

"I obtained a piano here before, so it happens to come in handy."

Barbara said with a smile.

Precisely because of that, she was very satisfied with this reward.

That piano — she now keeps it in her own bedroom.

But because she'd never touched one before, using it was a bit of a struggle.

Now that she had this, she felt her hands were incredibly nimble.

If she had sheet music, she could play it perfectly in minutes.

Thinking of sheet music, Barbara suddenly recalled what Boss Han had promised her earlier.
