Chapter 28 Girl and Shamisen
  Of course, Takizawa Yuya was not the only one who heard the sound of the instrument.

After the sound suddenly sounded, the venue immediately fell silent.

"What is this sound?" someone asked in a low voice.

"It must have come from the next room." Someone whispered.

"It's a shamisen." Some people who knew it could tell what kind of instrument it was from the timbre.

Shamisen, one of Japan's traditional musical instruments.

Although its prototype is the Chinese three-stringed instrument, after being introduced to Japan and undergoing some changes, it is now indeed one of the representatives of Japanese traditional musical instruments.

"Shamisen, who's playing?"

"It's a bit unfamiliar, more like a newbie." said the person who previously pointed out the name of the instrument.

Shamisen?

Takizawa Yuya listened intently to the music that suddenly sounded in his ears.

The sound of shamisen is pure. Gives peace of mind.

Even though, as the guest said, the playing is a bit jerky, even people who are not familiar with music theory can hear some irregularities.

However, Takizawa Yuya still found it pleasant.

Perhaps it's due to the environment of this teahouse.

The tea room is quiet and the shamisen is quiet. This is a perfect match.

"No, it may just be that my hand is raw, but now I can obviously play more smoothly. I'm not a novice." It was still the guest who spoke in a low voice.

Takizawa Yu also glanced at him. He was also a rare male guest at this tea party.

He hesitated and overturned his previous conclusion.

The change is indeed obvious.

The melodious melody in my ears, somehow, becomes smoother and clearer.

"It's "Gion Minor". "

In many cases, shamisen is played by elegant and beautiful geishas.

So when you hear this sound and close your eyes, you will unconsciously see a woman holding the shamisen and elegantly strumming the strings in front of your field of vision.

It's also inexplicable. Listening to this melodious and quiet melody, in Takizawa Yuya's mind, the person playing the strings gradually became clear and had a specific image:

He thought of a fair and stunning side face, like a wisp of cold wind in an ancient temple, and eyes as cold as daylight, inlaid with black glass.

It was the girl I met by chance on the road after entering the temple. Her figure always seemed to match the pure melody in my ears.

"."

Suddenly, Takizawa Yuya opened his eyes.

At this moment, he realized a problem——

It turns out that the girl I met before was not at this tea party?
  Takizawa Yuya's eyes swept over the faces of everyone who listened carefully to the melody at the table, confirming.

And indeed, I didn't see the girl I met on the road.

Her appearance was outstanding, and Takizawa Yu also remembered it clearly so that he would not be mistaken now.

What's more, the kimono on her body is also different.

Will he not be there?

She was dressed in a kimono, so she thought she was here to attend a tea party, but it turned out she wasn't?
  This made Takizawa Yuya a little puzzled.

But soon, he stopped thinking about it and quietly listened to the "Gion Minor" played by the shamisen, immersing himself in it again.

After a while, the song is over.

During the dinner, the guests suddenly woke up.

"It sounds pretty good."

"My judgment was wrong. Not only am I not a novice, but I must have been playing shamisen for many years, right? My skills are quite superb."

The male guest who had previously judged without permission changed his mind for the second time and raised his evaluation to another level.

Takizawa Yu also agreed with him.

Although he doesn't understand shamisen, he is an introduction to piano - he has basic knowledge of music theory.

From this common knowledge of music theory, it can be concluded that although people who play shamisen are indeed unfamiliar at first, they become more and more familiar with it as time goes by. Especially the ending, it makes people feel that the player must have excellent skills and can play it easily.

"Ms. Yoshida, who is playing this shamisen?" A guest couldn't help but asked Yoshida Hariko who was silent.

She then replied calmly: "It should be the new female disciple I accepted earlier."

"You play really well!"

"Thank you."

——This voice of thanks was not said by Haruko Yoshida, but came from the other side.

Takizawa Yuya looked aside along with everyone.

Although before hearing this voice, Takizawa Yuya actually had a premonition.

Even though we just met him briefly on the street and she only replied with a brief "yes" when she answered, good-looking people can always leave a deep impression on others.

——The basis for this sentence is himself.

In short, the girl's light and sweet voice, which was no worse than the shamisen, had been imprinted in Takizawa Yuya's mind.

He looked at the girl who appeared in front of everyone with interest.

Holding the shamisen in her arms, she knelt down at the entrance of the Japanese-style room and the tea room. She nodded gently and expressed her gratitude to the guests who recognized her.

Her little face was lowered, still unable to see clearly, unable to see the whole picture.

But just from the upper half of the face and the lowered eyes, one can already conclude that this is indeed an unparalleled beauty.

The sudden glance on the road showed that he was right.

"Xiaoyuki." Hariko Yoshida called her name with a smile.

"Teacher Yoshida." The girl turned around slightly, her face still lowered and her manner meticulous.

"Why did you suddenly play shamisen?"

"I was bored in the room and saw the shamisen on display, so I took the opportunity to learn how to play it. I hope I won't disturb you."

"Why bother?" It was the male guest who said, "You play quite well! How long have you been learning?"

"Just started learning."

"Haha." The male guest laughed twice, taking it as a modest comment and not asking any more questions.

The girl no longer explained.

"Speaking of this shamisen." Hariko Yoshida suddenly intervened and said, "Actually, Shinichi gave it to me."

"My father?" Hearing this, Takizawa Yuya was surprised and looked at Hariko Yoshida.

Hariko Yoshida showed a look of recollection and thought: "Your father heard that I could play two pieces of shamisen, so he gave me this shamisen at a tea party."

"so."

"I remember this too," said a wife who was also present. "At that time, Mr. Takizawa played a song first, which shocked everyone, and then gave the shamisen to Mr. Yoshida. Mr. Yoshida also came. I was excited and played a song on the spot.”

Takizawa Yuya was surprised again: "So my father can also play shamisen?"

"Shinichi is a versatile person!" This sentence was said by Ishikawa Yuko, and her words were also full of nostalgia.

Takizawa Yuya thought: So that’s it.

But this is exactly how it is, with outstanding looks, a good family background, and many talents. Only such a person can win the hearts of these ladies, right?

"Speaking of which, didn't Shinichi teach you all of this?" Ishikawa Yuko remembered it again and asked Takizawa Yuya curiously.

Takizawa Yu also wanted to answer "no".

But as he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Ishikawa Yuko's shining eyes, and suddenly, he thought of something.

Ishikawa Yuko saw the change in the shape of Takizawa Yuya's mouth, and he laughed brightly: "I know shamisen."

"Huh?" Hariko Yoshida was surprised, "Master Takizawa knows?"

"nature."

"Do you want to show it?"

Takizawa Yu also stood up: "Then let's play one."
