“R-Ryoko !? Why are you here !?”
The smile that lifted the corners of her mouth was perfectly formed. It’s like a fabrication that pursues only beauty. For some reason, my survival instinct warned me that the reason she was smiling like that was to diffuse her real face underneath.
“Should I not be here? When I was researching Mokusu Town, I happened to come across the news about the train suspension and temporary bus service.”
No, you definitely saw that !
“Erm……Ryoko, are you angry?”
“Oh, do I look angry? Even though I’m throwing such a cute smile at you who are tired from a long trip.”
Are you that kind of character !?
“R-Ryo-Ryoko ! Listen to me ! I never invite Senpai for a dishonest purpose, okay !? This is a band activity with a long history.”
“Yes, yes, I know. You both went looking for inspiration because you were stuck in songwriting, right? I know you’ve been doing it for a long time.”
Ryoko sighed, loosening the smile she had stuck on.
It seems that there is no feeling of anger or blame. It seems like she’s trying to scare me and make fun of me.
T-that’s right ! As expected of Ryoko ! You know me.”
“That’s why I don’t understand staying in the same room with Senpai.”
“Ah, no…..it can’t be helped. We can only use one room of the inn…..”
“It was a shared room after all.”
“Ah, you’re cheating ! You set me up !?”
I was going to hide it ! No, there’s nothing wrong with it, so I don’t have to hide it. It is rather suspicious to hide it.
“So Ryoko, why did you come to pick me up? If you have time to do that, you should practice.”
“Don’t be stupid, you can’t act like a detective trying to secure a criminal who has been deported, right?”
Now who’s the criminal?
Ryoko made eye contact with me, her gaze darting behind me. She’s telling me to look behind. As ordered, Senpai and I turned around.
Then there is another person leaning against a pillar of the bus stop, with a fearless smile.
“Kingo, Shino san, I heard. You went on a journey to write the lyrics.”
“Ari san !?”
For some reason, she was waiting for her turn with a cool face.
“Kingo, going on a journey where you can’t decide on the lyrics is rock ! but in that case, i hope you’ll invite me ! I also wanted to follow Kingo’s trip and witness the moment a new song is born !”
Ari san, who returned to her usual atmosphere, expressed regret that she missed the opportunity by bouncing around.
but she’s not entirely right. You’re mistaken that I went on a journey to write lyrics.
I made eye contact with Senpai. It’s still a secret that Senpai writes the lyrics, so I wanted to get her permission to tell them about it.
Senpai nodded and opened her mouth.
“Ari chan, there is a misunderstanding”
“Misunderstanding?”
“Yes, I”m the one who writes the lyrics.”
“Heh !? Shino san writes the lyrics !?”
＊
The location has changed to a fast food restaurant near the station.
“So, why is Shino san writing the lyrics for Nonoi?”
Ari san,who was sitting across from me at the table, asked me with a suspicious look on her face.
“I asked Kingo to write the lyrics, right? So why?”
“I’m sorry for hiding it, Ari san. Actually, Senpai asked me if she could write the lyrics.”
“Shino san, did you want to write the lyrics?”
“Actually, I’ve been writing poems as a hobby since long ago….. I’ve never had anyone read it before, but I wanted to take this opportunity to deliver what I wrote myself to a lot of people.”
There was a shining star in Senpai’s eyes. This was the moment when the young girl, who had been writing poems in secret in her room, became a lyricist.
At that glorious moment, Ari san was confused.
“I understand Shino san’s desire to challenge new things. Because I also had a desire in my heart to be in a band.”
“Well then—“
“But I’m sorry ! I really like the lyrics Kingo made !”
Ari san shrank her shoulders but looked back at Senpai with straight eyes. There was a sparkling star in her eyes, just like Senpai’s—a star called her will.
