73 Chapter 73
Double release!!!
...
"Well, Charlie. You should definitely compose another piece. I really enjoyed Canon in D."
"Haha, thank you very much."
"Yea, who knows. Maybe you could get a role just for being good at playing the piano. Right now, romance movies and series are very popular. Maybe a director is searching for a very romantic, elegant, and talented character. You'd fit the role pretty well."
I smiled.
…
"Felix, are you enjoying? Says frostysnow11 in the chat."
Felix gave a thumbs up with a massive smile.
"I am. I think Arden's not very well though…"
We stared back at Arden who was lying on his seat patting his belly.
"He really can't eat, huh."
Arden's eyes gained a flame of indignation and he sat upright in an instant.
Before he could enter another spoonful of food into his mouth, I reminded him.
"Arden, if you eat too much your stomach will be bloated and you'll…" He looked down at the floor.
Felix smiled at the camera and put his fingers behind my head.
"Hey… how about we order some banana milk?"
"Ah, there you go again with the banana milk."
"I swear, this monkey just thinks about banana milk."
"Hey! You guys said you enjoyed yesterday's banana milk."
"It made me digest everything I ate yesterday quickly…"
I grabbed my cup of water and took a sip. The banana milk was pretty good… but it did give me some toilet problems...
"Isn't that good?"
Arden bopped his head. "Are you kidding me? If I ate a lot yesterday and I digested everything quickly my… organs will not handle it!"
I almost spat out my drink in laughter.
Hahahaha. This dude. I can just tell he barely saved himself from saying the other word for the rear end.
"Ah?" Arden raised his hand threateningly, "You want me to suffer from indigestion? Making me eat all of this food?"
Felix stared back defiantly, "Be careful not to stand up that quickly. The digested food in your… organs will fall out!"
[Chat:
ardeeeeennnnennn: LOOOOOL WHY ARE THEY SO FUNNY TOGETHER
Felixwifeym: i just know Someone will write a fanfic about the three of them and that Someone is me. i am Someone.
leafyvini: LMAO THIS IS LITERALLY A COMEDY MOVIE]
I tapped the two of them on the head.
"Alright, alright. Children, let's chill. Papa is here."
They both raised their hands threateningly.
Oh… maybe I shouldn't have said that.
They glanced at each other,
"This kid wants to die."
"Right? I think he's itching for a beating."
I put my hands up.
"Wait wait wait." They looked at me as if knowing I'd surrender. "Arden don't stand up that quickly. Your… organs will release all of that digested food!"
I immediately covered my face and he began hitting my arms while I laughed like a child.
Felix burst into laughter too and patted Arden's back.
"Dude! Hold him back. I'm dying over here!"
"Hahaha. You were asking for it."
"Wait wait! Arden! Felix was the one who made that joke first! Beat him up!"
Arden smiled and his strikes stopped.
I cleared out my arms and looked up to see that he was staring at Felix threateningly.
"WAIT! Arden, let's negotiate. Negotiate. N-e-g-o-t-i-a-t-e."
Arden inched closer.
"Charlie, please. Help me."

Papppplate: theyre so funny omg i love them im crying
Th0tp0p0: well... I think there's nothing to be done here, comrades.
Controlxw1: its a lost cause
Gaaaaachk: its a lost cause indeed]
...
I sat on my bed, finally back home, and wrapped myself around with the blankets.
Like a worm, I looked around at my room.
Home. I like it here way better than those luxurious sights and hotels and buildings.
Looking at the space that's been empty for a while now, I finally smiled in anticipation.
I think it's time to get a piano.
I'll be able to play the piano on stream and finally, be able to think about transferring the songs from Earth to Pangaea.
Canon in D can't be alone by itself here, can it?
The Achievement Egg will definitely be easier by then.
So now the question is… Upright or Digital piano?
The answer is obvious. A digital piano.
I do not have the equipment Knife Agency has to record the sound of an acoustic piano perfectly. Meanwhile, Digital pianos will allow me to export the sound into the computer, and evening transcription songs into files will be easier.
It's also a cheaper option and the sound is of high quality.
…
...
…
Well, of course, I just had to go with Yamaha. In both Earth and Pangaea, their sounds are just the best to me and their feel and touch are great.
I slid my finger down the keys of the brand new digital piano that I ordered just a week ago and arrived quickly.
The brilliant sonances of the digital piano sounded out, pleasing to the ear.
[Piano has gained 1.1 points.]
Well, I haven't played in such a long time. After warming up, I'll probably set up a surprise stream where I'll play the piano.
Since it'll be something different in the stream, I think it'll be successful.
Maybe an impromptu concert? That sounds fun.
What songs should I play…
River Flows In You as a starter… and then Luv Letter by DJ Okawari sounds nice.
I'm going to have to start writing down some of these songs. I'd cry if I forgot how to play them.
I'd play Fantaisie Impromptu but I don't have the courage right now to mess up horribly. The only reason why I played it at the start was that I didn't care too much about playing mistakes that time. Right now, though, I'm a professional piano player.
So grinding my piano skill to level 70 right is of utmost necessity.
Right now, it is at 56 so I'm going to have to jam on the piano the entire day.
Or maybe streaming will help boost piano skill point gain?
…
After an hour of warming up and getting myself familiar with the new digital and weighted piano, I set up my camera stand having bought the items prior to unboxing the piano.
It definitely feels great to be able to play the piano at home without having the pressure of playing everything perfectly.
My technique has suffered a little, though. Mainly due to the change in hand size; finger, hand, and arms weight; and of course the lack of practice since getting into this world.
I think I'll be able to stream a quick piano session after a small break.
I just need to hook up the camera to the computer to stream…
"Charlie. How's the piano?"
Busy stuck over the table trying to insert the wire, I recognized Charlotte's voice.
"It's nice. Do you want to try playing it?"
"Yes please."
She walked over to it and sat down on the piano bench.
Curiously, she tapped each key individually.
"By the way, when did you learn to play the piano?"
Without flinching and moving the table to get access to the wire, "Learnt a while ago. Remember those days when I'd get back incredibly late? I played the piano when I was really sad."
Her eyes gained a tint of sadness and she walked over to hug me.
I hugged her back.
"What's up?"
She was quiet for a while and responded to my question with another question.
"...You're not leaving… Are you?"
I stroked her hair, "No, I'm not leaving."
"...Okay."
I let go of the hug, but she remained attached.
"Is that why the songs you play are nostalgic and sad?"
I almost coughed. Lady!
"...Maybe."
"Mmm… Okay. By the way, I remember you played a really nice sounding song at the cafe but you never released it."
...I remember… but I don't know if Knife Agency would like to record each and every single song…
…
…
…
"Welcome everyone to the stream!"
I smiled at the camera and the audience long awaiting my return reacted incredibly.
[Chat:
Kazpiano: is that a freaking piano i see?!?!?!
TheDreame: its confirmed hes back!!!!!!
Charlxiesimp_: omg finally
mememememe1: I JUST KNEW HE WAS COMING BACK TODAY
felixstanowo: felix an arden arentthere anymore? :( the mukbang was hilarious.
Notebooklov: lol i loved the mukbang i wish i could eat like that]
On my phone that was currently displaying the chat, I saw Kazpiano's verified symbol above the other messages and responded,
"Yes! Today's stream will be Just Chatting but I'll play a few tunes for you guys!"
I read the other early comments and laughed at them.
"Maybe Felix and Arden will be back in a future stream."
I turned my eyes to the piano and began playing a short melody to get us started.
[Piano has gained 5.5 points.]
Hell yes. It seems I gain 5x more points if I play on stream.
"So how's your day been?"
It's grind time.
