I'm done...!
Thank goodness too... This homework was easier than I initially expected.
Okay, what time is it...?
(We aren't meeting to practice for a while...)
(So, I think I'll take this opportunity to go do a quick street performance.)
I'll need my guitar, sheet music and...
Oh, that's right.
I left that Miku software I bought on my desk so that I can start using it whenever.
Bye, Miku. See you later...
♪————!! ♪————!!
Alright...
Thank you very much.
(I've gotten pretty used to singing here.)
(Next, how about I sing...?)
For my next song, I'd like to sing an original that I wrote with my band.
♪————
Look, she's singing for everyone.
Yeah.
This song's nice. Wanna stay and listen?
(Oh, they're stopping by to listen...)
(This feels just like when we sang for Hanano and her brother during our show.)
(It was like my voice could reach everyone in the audience and they'd listen intently.)
(This must be what it means to have a song reach people.)
(Alright, let's keep this up and...!)
♪———— ♪——~~~
(There may be others out there who need this song just as much as Hanano and her brother...)
(Oh...)
...
(That girl's looking my way.)
(Is she interesting in listening?
If so...)
♪————! ♪————!
...!
Hey, wanna check out that shop over there next?
Oh... J-Just a second.
♪————! ♪————!
...
Thank you very much!
Excuse me...
Oh...
(It's that girl.)
Um...
I really like the song you just played.
Thank you very much!
And... Those lyrics...
It reminded me of this friend I used to be really close with in junior high...
Oh, the one you said went to a different high school...?
Yeah... We talked and messaged each other a lot up until graduation, but we haven't chatted at all since starting high school.
Wait, why not?
I mean... She's probably made new friends already, so I feel like I'd just end up being a bother...
...!
But...
No, I disagree!
Huh...?
Oh... I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout...
But this friend...
She meant a lot to you, right?
Yes. She was the very first friend I made during junior high and we were in the same class all three years...
But she ended up going to this really prestigious prep school and seems so far away now...
...
This may sound strange coming from someone you literally just met a second ago...
But if you still want to talk and hang out with this person, why don't you try contacting them?
B-But...
Yeah, she's right. She might be a high schooler now, but that doesn't mean she's a completely different person.
Or is she the kind of person who makes fun of others for not being as smart as her?
No, she'd never do that...!
If that's the case, you're the one who's placing her on a pedestal for getting into a really good school.
Oh...
Yeah, you're right...
I think I'll try contacting her.
Um... Thank you...
Also, sorry. I know this is my own problem...
No, I should be the one apologizing.
I mean, I sort of just blurted out what was on my mind.
It's okay. I'm really glad I got this chance to hear you sing.
Um... Would you be okay with me stopping by again?
...!
Yes, of course!
