Part 1

    Mid-February. While the world was celebrating Valentine's Day, I was going to Osaka City with two girls.

    From the outside, I must have looked like a happy guy with two cute girls. But this was not a date.

    "Ah―――― No good, No good, No good, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, I'm nervous."

    In the train on the Kintetsu-Minami-Osaka line, Nanako's whole body has been shaking since a while ago, and she's turned into a mumbling machine.

    "You don't have to be so nervous. I think the live performance at the school festival was a much more dangerous stage?"

    Keiko-san tried to get her to relax,

    "I-I was desperate at that time! And now I've known for days!"

    It didn't seem to be working at all, and Nanako continued to tremble.

    "To suddenly write a song is a huge task, but to write the lyrics and sing the song, Kyouya is reaaaallly Do-S, if you were a husband, you would definitely do a DV." 
(Note: Do-S means Sadist. DV means Domestic Violence)

    She even started to say some very strange things.

    "But isn't it also Nanako who said OK to that."

    "Uh ~~~~, How dare you ask me to do something I couldn't refuse ~"

    "Is that so? I just said, 'I want to hear Nanako's music, I'm not going to use anyone else's music.'"

    "...That's quite a killer line. Well said, Hashiba-kun."

    Keiko-san giggled in amusement.

    "It's not a laughing matter... What should I do, if I screw up in recording..."

    Nanako seemed uneasy and took a deep breath many times.


    Today was the recording day for the theme song of "Haru Sora".

    It was already decided that we would record at a studio near Minamimorimachi, which Keiko-san had arranged for us, so we took the train from Minamikawachi, where the university is located.

    As it was her first time to write lyrics, compose music, and record a song, Nanako, the star of the day, was extremely nervous.

    "Haa... I'll be in the studio soon... I wonder if I can go to another world as it is."

    As soon as we left Minamimorimachi station, she finally even mentioned her desire to escape to another world.

    She walked unsteadily, as if she were a sleepwalking patient.

    "Look, princess, you've got to straighten up or the studio will laugh at you."

    Keiko-san, who couldn't bear to see her like that, smacked Nanako's butt.

    "Hyau, t-that's right... in the studio, there are people in the studio... and they are pro..."

    "This is no good..."

    As I walk behind her, I smile at the sight of her.

    While watching over Nanako, who was still mumbling as she walked,

    "If this doesn't work, what do we do? Consider re-recording it?"

    When I asked just to be sure, Keiko-san just laughed it off.

    "She can, she can, anyway, She's the kind of person who's strong when she's determined to prepare oneself for the worst."

    "Uh... Indeed, I think so."

    Even at that concert, despite the fact that she was in a daze until the very last minute, when the show started, she was a magnificent performer.

    "It's over... From now on, I'm going to live my life as a misunderstood woman... While being laughed at as a fake singer..."

    ......Well, but.

    "Looking at her now, I don't even think it's the same person, seriously."

    Spewing negative thoughts, the singer who performed a miracle on stage walks away dazed.
