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.
Roaring Tides - Ost. Clannad.
It's a very beautiful song sad yet encouraging at the same time.
Yuuki took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He had become melancholy because of this song. He smiled and ready to walk through on his new life.
Yuuki was smiling and turned his head at everyone.
"He.." Yuuki wanted to say something but he was startled when he saw everyone had red eyes and a lot of tears on their eyes. He was surprised seeing both Ranko and Uomi was crying. He had never thought that his song would make them like this.
"Are you okay?" Yuuki asked worriedly but someone shouted at him.
"YUUKI!!!" Yukana flew toward him and hugged him.
"YUUKI!!" Hina-chan also hugged him.
"YUUKI!!" Both Miyuki and Kuina also hugged him.
Yuuki was stunned at first but he was happy that he was being hugged by a lot of girls.
"It's okay, it's just a song, no need to get dramatic," Yuuki told them softly tried to calm them. They still sobbed on his arms. He sighed and looked at Chiaki, Ranko, and Uomi who was watching his interaction with the girls around him.
Yuuki looked at them with an expression, 'You can come too.'
They looked at him with a weird expression. Chiaki and Uomi walked to him and also hugged him.
Yuuki said caressed their back and softly whispered to each of them. He felt being a high-class host who was trying to serve his customers. He looked at Ranko who was still stubborn and didn't want to come. He looked at her again with an expression, 'If you don't come, I'll come there and hugged you.'
Ranko who saw his expression nodded and came to him. She felt being left alone if she didn't hug him.
Yuuki felt glad that he played this song.

Yuuki had calmed all of them and decided to ask Chiaki.
"So? Do I pass?" Yuuki asked.
"You pass," Chiaki said softly. That song was really great and his piano skill was superb. It was her blessing to have Yuuki playing for her cafe.
"How much do I pay you?" Chiaki knew that Yuuki's skill was very good even at the professional level. She was afraid that she couldn't pay him.
"Don't worry, I don't need money, give me something to eat every time I'm done playing," Yuuki said.
"Hey? Really?" Chiaki was startled.
"Yes, helping you is my aim all the time, you don't need to pay me," Yuuki didn't need money. He had a lot of money from his manga. He was sure that he would get a lot of money again after his game making tournaments.
"Really? Aren't you trying to court Chiaki?" Uomi's word made everyone startled. They looked at Yuuki with an expression, 'Tell me the truth!'
Yuuki was sweatdropping, 'How the hell the situation becomes like this!' He tried to calm them and said it wasn't the case. They sighed in relief but Chiaki had a disappointed expression.
'Why are you so disappointed?' Yuuki wanted to get away from everyone now.

Yuuki didn't know there were 5 people who hide behind the door and listen to him when he was playing piano. They had also tears and snot on their face.
"Raku, your Aniki is amazing!" Shuu praised. He had never heard this song, this must be an original and Raku's brother the one who made it. He thought that he needed to ask Raku to introduce them.
"Yeah, I have to admit it his song is really great," Ruri also nodded. She was a quite rich young lady and had a lot of experience with piano but it was her first time to be stunned like this.
Onodera had a red face remembering that she had heard the conversation between Yuuki and Uomi. She was very embarrassed hearing about sex, baby, and womb but she had to admit that Raku's older brother was amazing.
"Yeah, Aniki is amazing," Raku felt proud when he heard this song. He had tears on his eyes.
Raku wanted to find his brother but he couldn't find him in the class. He asked his classmates and they told him that Yuuki was in the music room. He was thankful to them and went together with his friend to a music room. He was surprised when he saw Yuuki was being surrounded by a lot of girls. He had to admit that if his brother was the one who did the fake relationship with Chitoge there would be another war.
Raku shook his head and didn't think much. He needed to deal this matter himself and couldn't bother his brother. He could do it and this song told him to do so.
Chitoge was in a dream, she had never thought that Yuuki would be able to make this kind of beautiful song. She had visited a lot of orchestra in America but nothing could reach her heart. It was until she heard his song. Yuuki's song made her heart flutter in high and down. It was as if she was his plaything but she had to admit it that she didn't hate it.
Chitoge was still immersed until she saw Yuuki was being hugged by a lot of girls. She clenched her hands and felt uncomfortable. She had also wanted to go there and hugged him but her status as Raku's girlfriend made her unable to do so.
Her loved one was so close to her yet it was so far away. Chitoge could only look at him from afar with another girl and she was here being shackled by something called 'Fake Relationship.'
Chitoge almost crying but stopped herself, 'It's not fair!'
The world was unfair, normal girls could chase their love one without thinking anything yet Chitoge could only bury away her feeling inside her heart and waiting for 2 years for this charade to over.
At that time, Chitoge was sure that one of the girls in front of her would be together with Yuuki. She didn't know what to do and hoping someone would help her.
'If only I can be more truthful to my heart,' No one knew who said that but it was definitely one of them.
Love is complicated, it's more complicated than Ria Coastline. Yet when you arrived at your destination, you'll feel happy but if you're lost you'll feel sad.
But I'm not regretting to fall in love with you.
PS: I can do more probably.
