Chapter 392 - ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITY (1/2)
The household staff at the Yamazaki mansion got busy with preparations after Sayaka decided to hold the barbeque party. The outdoor patio was already a recreational space, but the grills had not been used for a while.
Furthermore, more people were coming for the party, so the entertaining area needed to accommodate more people than usual. So, some changes were necessary.
As the work continued, Akira went to her room to freshen up while the others continued chatting downstairs. She took a quick shower and changed her clothes before going back downstairs to join in the excitement.
She found it was amusing to look at the interactions between these family members. The group of people were all still convened in the living room, and they were discussing Hanae's future career. She entered and took a seat outside of the circle.
”Hanae missed the opportunity for participating in the top classical piano competition. It will be difficult to gain a foothold again before next year. This world is quite unforgiving. The opportunities are too few.” Kaoru lamented.
”Hanae is a bright girl. I think she should not delay entering the university anymore. Since the competition has passed, she should find a good professor to guide her. With the right connections in the art world, nothing is impossible.” Sayaka said with the voice of experience.
”It is not that easy getting a mentor in classical music. Most of those professors are proud and have high requirements for students. Not to mention, they only choose a person who is pleasing to their eyes.” Kaoru sighed.
There was a collective sigh of distress in the room.
”Now that we are talking about it, I do know someone from that world. I remember the president of the Institute of Classical Music came over to visit us some time ago. She seems to be familiar with Mr Cherry Blossom. What was her name?” Sayaka spoke after a long moment.
”Oh yeah, that is right. I remember that old lady.” Kazuo spoke up excitedly.
”Fujita Omi.” Hanae's filled in the information.
”Yes, that woman came here to visit Akira and see her violin. Do you know her, Hanae?” Sayaka asked.
Hanae laughed. ”I think anyone with an interest in the local classical music scene has heard of her. She is not a performer anymore, but I paid attention to her a lot when I was younger. She was my idol. Unfortunately, I did not have any fate with the violin.”
”Sayaka, can you introduce Hana to this Fujita Omi?” Kaoru asked.
Sayaka felt a little awkward about the question. She had brought the matter up because she has the intention to offer to introduce Hanae to that woman. However, the meeting with Fujita Omi was because of Akira. She wanted to ask Akira first before introducing Hanae.
”Ms Fujita came to visit because of Akira, so I have to ask for Akira's opinion's first.” She responded.
All the eyes in the room turned to Akira who was chatting with Kaito on her phone while listening to the conversation. She looked up.
”What is your opinion on this matter?” Sayaka asked with a warm smile.
”Since you are not interested in the classical music world, it is not a big deal. Let Hanae enjoy the opportunity.” Kazuo spoke up.
