Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Yuuki didn't mind about the quest but he had a strange expression on his face when he saw its reward.

'Super hearing aids? Why I do need that?' Yuuki was confused but he didn't think much about it.

"Hey, how about I play piano in your cafe?" Yuuki said.

Miyuki and Chiaki were surprised when they heard Yuuki would play piano in their cafe.

"Really?" Miyuki asked excitedly.

"Can you play piano?" Chiaki looked at him with a doubtful expression.

Miyuki who heard Chiaki also doubting Yuuki could play piano.

"Yeah, Yuuki, can you play piano?" Miyuki looked doubtful.

"Don't you mean beating up piano?" Chiaki teased him.

Yuuki tried to keep his smile but his lips twitched several times, 'Do you doubt me that much?' He wanted to shout but calmed himself.

"I can do it if you want we can check it in the music room after a lesson," Yuuki said confidently.

"Sure, show us your piano skill," Chiaki nodded. She was curious about him whether Yuuki could play or not but she hoped that he could play piano. After all, it was better for someone she knew to work in her cafe.

"I'll call Hina-chan and Kuu-chan!" Miyuki looked excited.

"Hey? What are you talking about?" Ranko joined their conversation.

"Yuuki wants to show us his piano skill," Chiaki said.

Ranko was shocked and looked at Yuuki with disbelief, "You can play piano?" Yuuki nodded in response.

"Don't you mean beating up piano?" Ranko put a doubtful expression and made a tick mark on his forehead.

Yuuki shook his head, "let's go to the music room after the lesson," He didn't need to say much about it. He needed to show it through his action.

Ranko still looked at him with a doubtful expression but she nodded and waiting after the lesson.

On the break, everyone was walking toward the music room. They were curious whether Yuuki could play piano or not. They looked at him with anticipation.

"I said I'll show you but isn't it too much?" Yuuki looked at everyone who followed him to the music class.

"Hmph, I want to let Yukana see you make a fool in front of everyone," Ranko said with a smug expression.

"Don't mind, Yuuki, I was curious and wanted to hear you playing," Yukana said kindly.

"Oh, Yukana, you're so kind!" Yuuki was happy, "Unlike Ranko," He shook his head.

"YOU!!!" Ranko was angry.

"Don't fight each other!" Yukana tried to calm both Yuuki and Ranko.

"Awaawawwa," Hina-chan was nervous in front of many strangers.

"Hina-chan, fight!" Kuina tried to encourage her.

"Sigh, they are always fighting," Chiaki shook her head.

"Mooo, fighting is bad Yuuki, Ranko-chan!" Miyuki reprimanded them.

"Ran-Ranko-chan?" Ranko was stunned when she heard Miyuki's called her.

"That's right, it's cuter, right?" Miyuki showed her a gentle smile.

Ranko couldn't say anything but in her head, she thought, 'How cute.'

"HOW CUTE!!" Yukana hugged Miyuki.

"Moo, don't treat me like a child!!" Everyone was happy but Yuuki felt uncomfortable being gazed by someone for so long.

"Uomi, why are you looking at me so long?" Yuuki looked at the expressionless girl. He had almost never seen her change her expression.

"Hmm, I've heard that someone is going to show his piano skills so I wanted to see it too," Uomi simply said.

"Sigh, I don't mind, let's go, if we stay for so long the break's going to be over," they nodded in response and walked toward the music class together.

They entered the music class and saw a big piano in the center of the class.

"This is a good piano," Yuuki had piano proficiency 100 points when he completed his first quest. It was his first time playing the piano though.

'Hmm, what kind of song would be good?' Yuuki was in deep thought until Ranko disrupted him.

"Hurry up and play! I want to see you fail!" Ranko tried to provoke him.

Yuuki ignored her until he remembered one of his rewards, 'I guess I can use that song.' He nodded at everyone and sat on the piano seat.

Everyone was looking at him with a curious gaze, they saw him sitting in the piano seat and the atmosphere around him started to change. They saw his expression become melancholy and sad. They wanted to hurriedly walk to him and hug him tightly but they stopped when they heard him play the piano.

The melody started slowly and felt very sad. They felt as if they were being hit by a raging wave, they felt helpless from this wave and couldn't get up. They wanted to cry until the melody started to change in the middle.

When they wanted to give up, they saw a light in front of them. They felt as if being saved and tried to get to that light no matter what. They ran, walked, crawled, they did whatever they could to reach that light.

They looked at the young man who played this song in front of them. They couldn't take their eyes away from him. They didn't know what kind of experience he had passed through his life but one thing they knew that they wanted to accompany him now. They wanted to be together with him in his sad times and in his vulnerable times. They wanted to be his lighthouse when he lost in the middle of the sea.

Yuuki played the soundtrack of Clannad. He had 'Clannad' game plan inside his head and it included its soundtrack song. He really liked this song, it really encouraged him to face his life no matter how difficult it was. He almost let out his tears when playing this song.

Yuuki was so immersed that he ignored everyone in the room. He remembered his past life and he missed his family, friends, and lover but he couldn't meet them now. He was in another world and he knew he couldn't meet them again.

Yuuki couldn't hold his tears and played the song until the end.

'Shit, this song is bad!' Yuuki thought while wiping his tears, 'I need to do my best in this world," He had a lot of people who supported him from his new family, the girl around him, and the system. He smiled wide and thought positively. He needed to do his best in the world.
