Genius

A gift from heaven.

or when the perpetrators refer to a person with natural abilities that cannot be followed.

The protagonist of God's gift has often been told by people around him since childhood that he is a genius.

That's why he only thought he was special to others.

No, he certainly was a special man.

‘He was able to talk to the instrument through music. ’

Such abilities were perhaps a special "gift" that only the almighty "God" could make.

But for him, "God's gift" was a blessing close to a curse...

The protagonist who could handle all the instruments in the world had four instruments that he loved. The most important among them were the pianos and violins that had been with them since childhood.

In fact, the main character wanted to become a violinist rather than a pianist.

The original lively character became increasingly inwardly changed while playing the piano by the coercion of parents.

The characters derived from him were ‘Yukinozo Kaori’ and ‘Igwa Ray’.

Kaori's bright and lively personality was the same as when the protagonist turned on the violin, and Ray's quiet and reserved personality resembled that of playing the piano.

Similarly, the challenge of getting into the climax and learning as a hobby was to create a character called Haruka, and as a world-class pianist... he created a character called Satsuki who was cynical and strict.

They're the heroes' lives. It was itself and I did not doubt that I would always be with him.

‘But God gave him all his abilities and took everything away at the age of 28. ’

Alzheimer's disease, also known as organ memory loss, causes people around you as well. Even the four women he'd been with since he was a child were fading away in his memory.

The true end of God's gift was another illustration of what the main event in the game was, in fact, from the time of the main character's childhood after the staircase.

I was somewhat shocked to hear that his collaboration with the heroes, which had changed over the course of the quarter in Chapter 2, was actually his liquor with instruments representing each of the heroes.

"Everything was a vision of a man losing his memory..."

In each chapter, the reminiscence of the heroine in the prepared part of the performance was actually a story of his musical instruments and his breakup that was still incomplete.

Because of his lack of socialization, the main character who had a narrow relationship was four heroes who had been friends and companions all his life.

Among them, violin Yukinozo Kaori, who first spoke to the protagonist as a child, grabbed a bouquet of flowers at the last end, approached him and smiled shyly.

“Well done...”

The protagonist's mouth was closed up with a Hiro smile around him, allowing him to hear his voice for the first time.

It was as bold and calm as I imagined.

“So far. Thank you...”

Beep---------

&

The last moment I realized what the beep meant.

A drop of tears that were hanging from the edge of my eyes poured down again.

Just as I covered the last chapter in one novel, this time I also had a long fortune in my heart that was bothering me.

“Ha…”

The sound of a sudden exhale echoes through the quiet room.

After hearing Nakamura's story, I retrieved the save file from the last chapter and cleared it once more, but I thought it was a very impressive ending even if I saw it again.

“Cough... cough...”

At the sound of the crow crying outside the window, she turns her head to the window, and the evening sunset sets lie down like a picture of a cloud.

“Oh, record point. I'll be waiting for you.”

I swiftly wiped my tears and grabbed the guitar case.

&

Sweetheart!

After entering the store with the clear sound of Charimbell hanging from the record point door, the man with a familiar face stood up with the boss.

“Kanna, you're just in time. This is...”

“No, I don't need an introduction. That's the third time I've seen it. ”

The man in his early 30s who looked at me with a relaxed look on his face was talking with a smile toward me.

“Right?"

“Kang Jun-hyuk... Director? ”

When I mumbled his name, the record store owner came to me and asked me.

“from a company called Pentagon Soft. I want to hear the song you've been singing for the past few days...”

“Ah…”

“Tell me about Mr. Kanna... You're getting quite the buzz from the online community, don't you know? ”

“Yes? Is that my song? ”

The online community he talks about is probably the PC communication community Nakamura talked about. I remember hearing something from Nakamura the other day, but I had no idea that my story would spread like this in a place where we didn't even know each other's faces.

“Do you mind if I listen for a second? ”

“Oh... well...”

“You don't have to be so nervous. I came here because I really, really, really wanted to hear Kanna's song again. ”

I glanced at his face for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Shortly after, I heard one or two people walking in front of the station around a small venue prepared by the boss.

Since when? At first, about four or five people listened to my music, and now four or 50 people are gathering to see where I heard my story. Could this be the power of the PC communications Nakamura Army was talking about?

After bouncing off the guitar string and tapping his voice a few times, I took the match out of my arms and lit the candle on fire.

Time is suddenly in early February...

There is still a cool breeze in the streets, but at least it doesn't feel as bitter as January.

As the small candle roared quietly in the glass jar, the voices of those around me gradually rang out.

Director Kang Jun-hyuk was staring at me while talking next to the store with the record shop owner.

That alone made me feel awkward, but I decided not to care about it. The important thing is to feel the music and the atmosphere of the song.

That's enough.

Every day that passes by is increasing.

We think each other's minds are always there.

You said it was okay if we didn't get together.

Pretend you're strong, but you're only sighing.

A jewel I've left in the passing seasons

It's an unfinished puzzle that's lost precious pieces...

Like white eyes watering the streets.

Fill this album with memories ~

When I opened my lips with my eyes closed to tell people my song, I felt like I was relieved of my tension like a lie.

“Oh, I've heard that before, but it's great. ”

I felt my face burning with praise from Director Kang Jun-hyuk, but I didn't look at him. Simply closing my eyes, I finished considering that I had to call verse 2 and then take a small breath and lay down my hands on the guitar rope.

Then a round of applause poured out from those around me.

“Wow!!! I love it.”

“Mwah! You have a great voice...”

“But when does it come out? ”

“Wait a minute. ‘That song’ is almost at the end. ”

“Did you really write the lyrics to the end song of God's gift? ”

“I overheard it once, but my heart got cold as soon as I heard it, so you'd be surprised to hear it. ”

“I may not have won the S rank, but the community finale... it was amazing.”

“Oh, that was a second impact on history since the real 'street without me'...”

“And how many times did Director Kang Jun-hyuk kill the protagonist? There's no such thing as a real live demon. ”

I almost burst out of laughter, but I endured the conversation of the audience from somewhere. What were you thinking when you heard them talking to you?

I cleared my throat for a moment and then I started a second song.

After bouncing the guitar string a few times, elasticity leaked from the mouth of the person nearby.

“Huh? Is this...? ”

“It's the song of God. ”

“Already? ”

“Oh, good. I came here because I wanted to hear this, but it's just in time. ”

Looking at Director Kang Jun-hyuk, turning slightly to people's reactions, he raised his thumb toward me with his arms closed.

When I first saw you...

I knew my love was sad...

It can't be done, it can't be done...

All by yourself.

On my way to see you...

I knew my love was sick.

The tremors that run deep inside my body...

Fear is bigger than excitement.

After a total of five short street performances, he walked into the store and brought cocoa.

“Have some of this and melt yourself. ”

“Thank you, boss. ”

“Hmmm! Rather, I thank you more. Kanna, thanks to you, there are a lot of customers in the store these days!”

“Oh, really? ”

The boss deeply wrinkled and smiled at me.

Director Kang Jun-hyuk behind his back was also looking at me with a happy expression.

“I... heard the song. ”

“How was it...? ”

“Excellent lyrics for a quiet song. I think Yuki would have loved it, too. ”

“By the way, Yuki. You gave birth on December 24 last year...? ”

Then Kang Junhyuk tilted his head and asked me again.

“Huh? How did you do that? ”

“Actually... I went to buy it every day for God's gift. By the way, I heard that the director rushed to the hospital to give birth to his wife that day...”

“Ah! Kanna was here that day, too. I'm sorry. It would have been a lot easier if I had met you back then...”

Director Kang Jun-hyuk scratched the back of his head and smiled.

“I wanted to give you a call at the contact you left me the other day, but I didn't have the courage to...”

When I swallowed the cocoa that the boss had brought me and dropped my head to the ground, Director Kang Jun-hyuk opened his mouth with a grin.

“Do you have a good time? ”

“Yes? Oh, yes, today is a day of leisure. ”

“Well, can you go to a cafe and talk to me for a minute? Actually, I have a favor to ask you. ”

“Please...? ”

“Yes, I would like to distribute the ending theme song of God's gift I just heard to Laon's download shares, if possible. What do you think? ”
