“Are my lyrics not good enough….?”
Senpai’s voice wavers with sadness.
She must’ve had faith in her friend, Ari san, that she would accept it. However, she was hit head-on.
However, it was also painful for Ari san who refused. It was easy to imagine from her downcast appearance.
“I don’t mean that……. But I really want to show the music Kingo made on stage.”
“Ari chan…….First of all, can you read the lyrics I wrote? I also consulted with Kobayakawa kun, and I’m confident that I can do it right.”
It’s faster to read than to argue. Senpai opened the last page of his mauve-colored notebook and handed it to Ari san.
Ari san looked down with her wide-eyed eyes and was chasing the lyrics. She shakes her head slightly to the beat, or hums with her lips slightly parted.
Her expression was cheerful and I could see that she liked it.
“I read it……. I think it’s a good lyric.”
“Well then……”
“But as expected, I’m sorry. These are not the lyrics I want to sing.”
Even so, Ari san did not nod her head.
“What I want to sing are the lyrics written by Kingo, not anyone else. I want to sing from Kingo’s heart, the Lyconess who I have always followed and admired. So……I’m sorry.”
Ari san closed the notebook, gently returned it to Senpai, and bowed.
A silence resembling the air of the rainy season drifted between the four people.
I was keenly aware of my lack of consideration. I was struck by the enthusiasm and lyric of Senpai, and I was just optimistic that it would surely reach Ari san, but I couldn’t turn my eyes to Ari san’s feelings.
But from the beginning, Ari san had always dreamed of singing the lyrics I wrote as a vocalist. That was also why I was in charge of the lyrics.
I can’t believe I forgot about that…..
“I understand.”
The senior says in a depressed voice.
“I respect Ari chan’s thoughts. Forget about the lyrics.”
She stretched her thin arms across the table and tried to put away her notebook.
The pain that tightens my chest strikes me.
Is that really okay? Even if Misumi senpai keeps her feelings to herself in order to make Ari san’s wish come true.
It is natural for anyone involved in music to want to express the vision they have in mind through sound. Is it okay for Senpai to not be able to fulfill her natural responsibilities even though she has taken the trouble to join the band?
“Please wait, Ari san !”
It’s not okay at all. Therefore, I feverishly argued against it.
“I’m sorry for forgetting that you were looking forward to the lyrics I wrote. But could you please also look at the lyrics written by Senpai?”
“Kobayakawa kun…… I’m happy for your feelings, but I don’t want to write a song that disrespects Ari chan’s feelings.”
“Is that your true feelings?”
Senpai’s eyes widened when she looked into it.
Is Senpai convinced?
Don’t you regret not seeing the light of day on these lyrics that you wrote so happily, so passionately, so much trouble?
I can’t stand it.
“It’s not just for Senpai. I think the lyrics written by Senpai are really nice.T he gentle personality of Senpai and the mysterious cuteness are expressed. I want to make these lyrics into melodies.”
The reason I want to see the lyrics of Senpai is purely because I like it myself. I’ve been looking forward to seeing what kind of song she’ll put it in since this morning.
That thought also can not be done without it.
“Kingo…. I wanted it to be a cool song like Lyconess. But if it is Shino san’s lyrics, it is unlikely to be so…..”
“It can’t be helped if you imagine it. The song hasn’t been written yet, and these lyrics are just a draft version. I’m going to write them down and finish them together with the song. That’s why, Ari san, please leave this matter to me, okay? I’ll create a song that meets your wishes without compromising Senpai’s feelings.”
Two conflicting thoughts. I will carry that thought and deliver it to the same place. There was no hesitation in preparing to do so.
Ari san was stunned by the surprise, but soon she appeared with her usual lively expression.
“I understand, I believe in Kingo.”
“Thank you. Senpai, you will be troubled with the lyrics for a while from now on, but will you lend me strength?”
“O-of course. I will do anything I can !”
Senpai’s lost ambition revives in a moment. As expected, these lyrics contained an extraordinary amount of emotion.
It is my job to put that thought into music. We’re going to be busy from now on !
