Chapter 54

"I can't believe it!" Joshua loudly exclaimed after hearing my magnificent performance.
‘Shush, child. You can't solve every problem in the world by just screaming.’
I pressed the black keys one by one and played a fantastic song for Joshua.
‘Nana, nana, Joshua lost~ our bet~’
"You're making fun of me, aren’t you?!"
"Huh? You know this tune?" I didn't expect him to know. Of course, even if he did, it didn't really matter. I always teased him anyway.
When I asked that with a bright smile, Joshua started to huff and puff.
‘That's why you shouldn’t have said the loser can’t have desserts for a week.’
"I still play better than you though!"
"What's the matter, Josh? You looked like you lost as soon as I was done playing."
‘Don't you know what good sportsmanship is?’
I smiled and got down from the piano chair as Joshua fumed with anger.
‘There's no way around it, Josh. The world of competition is a cruel one.’
