...
The night of the school festival, Tracen Academy was still brightly lit.
Many entertainment activities, for example the test of courage assembly were ongoing.
But this restaurant permeated with musical notes became an independent world, the horse girls while savoring the desserts, while listening to Lucian's piano sound.
In the immersed and powerful sound interwoven bright and gloomy. In the suppressed struggle also carrying a trace of sacred tragic aesthetic...
One piece finished playing, the horse girls were stunned for a good while, then as if waking from a dream, sent enthusiastic applause for Lucian.
"Again a piece of music not heard before, so unforgettable~ Trainer so amazing!" Haru Urara squinted her eyes, as if still immersed in the lingering charm of the music.
"Again?" Grass Wonder caught the key word, "Does that mean Trainer Lucian previously also played some self-created song?"
"Yes ah, that song called what..." Haru Urara opened her eyes, a appearance of thinking state, but still didn't recall.
"Anohana."
The moment Lucian finished saying, his and Tokai Teio's gazes tacitly intertwined in mid-air, that was the secret once suppressed above the basement.
"That piece of music Teio has already filled in the lyrics, but Teio today already rehearsed for a long time, so won't let her sing."
"But I here also filled one version of lyrics, can instead sing for everyone."
The lyrics Tokai Teio filled, naturally was exclusive heart voice tailored for her, that was her resonance with the song's soul, without her agreement, Lucian dared not arbitrarily decide to publicize that unique emotion.
"Great~ still have music to listen!" Matikane Tannhauser already started clapping her little hands.
At this time, little Dango lightly leapt down from the table, meat pads stepping on the smooth floor without emitting a single sound.
It stepped an elegant cat walk, directly walked to Lucian's side, leapt up, darted into his embrace.
As if returning to its most reassuring little nest, it stretched out pink tender little claws, stepped a few times on Lucian's thigh. Then lazily lay down in the center, curling its body into a fluffy dango.
Lucian rubbed its head, both hands again stroked the black and white piano keys, "Then this song also together for everyone."
Beside Meisho Doto however stared unblinkingly at the little Dango in Lucian's embrace.
The attraction of music to her suddenly dropped to zero, gaze full of the purest envy and longing.
Really want also like this, without any scruples sit in cat-cat sama's embrace... be gazed at so gently...
Tomorrow... tomorrow must work harder a bit.
...
Another piece finished playing, the horse girls again sent applause for Lucian.
"Thank you everyone, today just play these two~"
"Nice to listen, feeling Trainer Lucian's performance prepared for the training camp was advanced displayed here." Grass Wonder said.
"The training camp stage is handed to you all, what does it matter if I perform or not."
"Just really want to hear again ah~" Grass Wonder squinted eyes, voice soft, straightforward.
Grass Wonder felt the timing was about right, after a while start implementing her own plan, hope Trainer Lucian can properly cooperate.
"Then wait until training camp time play other." Lucian responded a sound, just mentioning training camp, then continued this topic: "This year there is training camp oh, time set after the Japanese Derby, still together with 'Rigil', and 'Spica' everyone."
Matikane Tannhauser and a few since joining the team, because various reasons still hadn't experienced training camp, so somewhat excited about it.
But Silence Suzuka and Seiun Sky and others however couldn't get happy.
Training camp for them meant abstaining from Lucian for a period, otherwise after ending that night, the next day's mental state would be greatly affected, simply not suitable for high-intensity training.
"Know~"
"Looking forward to training camp!!"
"This time bring what to play..."
...
Lucian smiled slightly, gaze swept past, discovering everyone's desserts were already finished, "Since everyone finished eating, then..."
"Trainer-san, isn't there still one activity room next door? Seiun said inside there are many board games..."
The both bad and love-to-play Special Week's addiction suddenly came up.
Maybe also was provoked by Seiun Sky, Haru Urara, and Tokai Teio.
After all when spending New Year at Lucian's home, the three of them often teamed up bullying Special Week alone, making her carrots lose completely.
But this time at Tracen, Special Week's carrots transported several boxes in the dormitory, even if lose not afraid.
"You all want to go play?" Lucian looked at the wall clock, now just almost 6 o'clock.
But didn't expect just now they already chatted for more than an hour.
"Can, Trainer-san?" Special Week both wanted to go, and feared Lucian angry, therefore tone somewhat entangled, "We afterward will tidy everything well."
"Okay okay okay~ go go, I finish washing these plates, prepare drinks for you then come over."
"Yay! Trainer banzai!!≧▽≦" Matikane Tannhauser first ran toward outside the door.
Twin Turbo and others also closely followed.
Instead the "Rigil" group politely stood in place, moving also not, not moving also not.
"Little Lucian, can also let them go play?" Toujou Hana said, pointing at the Symboli Rudolf and others behind.
"Of course, board games originally need more people to be fun." Lucian's gaze stayed on several horse girls for a moment, first Symboli Rudolf, then Grass Wonder, finally Air Groove, "And, Teio will be happy, Spe-chan will be happy, I will also be happy."
Air Groove always felt somewhere strange... uncertain, look again.
"Hana-neesan, you not going to play?"
"I won't go, still have things to do at night." Toujou Hana pushed her glasses, to the several behind said: "You all don't play over, remember go back early."
"Understood."
"Hai~"
"Understood."
The three finished responding, also walked out of this restaurant.
"Hana-neesan, these few days we also are on holiday right? What are you secretly grinding behind my back?" Lucian stacking plates, asked curiously.
Toujou Hana averted gaze, dry coughed two times, "Nothing, just Nishizaki Ryo that guy fulfilling the treat promise."
"Oh? There's this matter?" Lucian put down the plates, immediately dialed Nishizaki Ryo's phone.
The chance for revenge came right here?
"Hello, Little Lucian, what matter?"
"Can add one more pair of chopsticks?"
"Ha? What are you saying?"
"You treat Hana-neesan, then I have to follow and freeload a bit? Anyway I eat mine, you chat yours. Right, Hana-neesan is now in my shop."
No wonder Toujou Hana just now ate so little, originally saving stomach for Nishizaki Ryo ah.
The other side of the phone silent for a while, after a long time Nishizaki Ryo squeezed out a sentence "Don't mess."
"Tomorrow let Daiwa, King Halo, and Vodka come over work for me one day, have salary."
Golden Ship too mischievous, can't manage.
Eishin Flash and Mejiro Ryan not very familiar, dare not request.
But Lucian was only joking, didn't expect Nishizaki Ryo actually agreed?! Looks like love still very much affects temporary IQ.
"This... I later communicate with them a bit."
"Uh, then deal."
