Chapter 692 Futari No Monogram Part 8
Ever since the girl came to Tokyo, she has faced many challenges, such as confronting her ex. The ex who hurt her and caused her last remaining hope in the world to fade. If it wasn't for Nagawa Sano breaking up with her, then perhaps Sumire wouldn't have lost her remaining morals. But it is already far too late to think of what-if scenarios; he should focus on the present.Jun reached over and patted the girl's hair, causing her to blink, confused.
"What is it?"
"Paint."
"Aha, right."
"Sumire-san, what are you doing here?" Jun wondered. There is nothing but meadows here. Although she could draw the flowers, he knew that Sumire-san liked to find places with complicated shapes for her free time drawing.
"Oh, I was going to call you. It's time to have our first meeting regarding the festival."
"I see, then we must be on our way."
"It's unlike you to be late. Is there something wrong?"
If there is anything that is wrong, it's him coming to terms with his memories. Right after he returned home from meeting her
"Sumire-san, you seem strange recently."
"Strange?"
"According to my data, you're stressed."
Is it about returning to the entertainment industry? No, there is something else. But if he pries too much, she will surely try to run away. Is it to do with their conversation the other day? However, after Yuhi-san showed up, she seemed okay.
"Hmmm, if I'm stressed, it's probably due to the mental blocks I have while composing music. Although it is normal to occasionally get stuck, it has never lasted this long for me. Saying that, however," Sumire pulled out her composition notebook. "I made some adjustments for your song. I think it's fine now, but you should still check."
Despite those vague sounding words, Jun sensed her confidence behind them.
Jun's gaze fell on the song, and his eyes widened, surprised. What is this? It seems different from her other songs. When he saw it the other day, it felt like something was lacking. But not only has that something vanished, but there is something else.
"I will write lyrics to this as soon as possible."
"Really? Thank goodness."
"Sumire-san, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
"I want to hear you sing," Jun admitted.
His heart still feels unsettled. After he returned home from having that conversation with Hino, he felt even more frustrated.
'It is unfair for him to have all those memories to himself!' Yet, the main reason why he couldn't get mad was because he could see the pain in Narasaki Hino's eyes.
"God Bless You
I never thought I'd be able to love someone this much -
Now that I know this feeling, I'll never be the same!
We shared the one true happiness that exists in this world:
That's the reason for my joy... and these overwhelming tears!
Even if one single drop (of blue sadness),
Were to fall in your heart... I'll release an arrow of light! (Pierce on through!)
If this love is a miracle... please, God... guide it every step of the way!." Sumire sang.
What's with this voice? This i- this isn't like any of her other songs. It's resounding in his heart and sends goosebumps down his skin, but those goosebumps aren't due to fear but excitement. This sort of feeling it's the same as that time.
It's almost as though she's saying, 'even if it's painful, sad. Please smile because I will be there for you.'
She truly hasn't changed; she is still the same as back then.
Jun paused for a moment. Just now, why did he-?
'Kira, even if you do not have your memories now. The bonds you formed haven't changed. Believe in the present rather than the past.'
"Jun-kun, is something the matter?" Sumire asked, breaking his thoughts.
"The FNS J festival. I will perform it there."
At those words, Sumire beamed happily. "You already decided on a venue; that's expected of you."
________
Four days later, at the FNS J Festival.
Jun was slightly concerned that Sumire and Yuhi wouldn't make it. Four days prior, since Yuhi didn't show up to the meeting and didn't return home. It seemed the two had a small fight. However, his worry disappeared when he saw them walking hand in hand in the backstage area.
You do not have to be a genius to figure out that the two have completely resolved everything with each other. There is a healthy-looking glow on Sumire's face, and the dark, gloomy aura around Yuhi is gone. He figured it wouldn't take that long; it's these two, after all. Even if everything gets blown out of proportion, they will find a way to sort it out.
Jun recalled what Narasaki Hino mentioned not too long ago. Indeed, it seems like from the very beginning, he has had a strong faith in their relationship.
"And now it's time; the opening act of the FNS J festival is Kira Jun."
The opening act of this large festival was initially supposed to be Yuhi. However, when he received a solo slot offer. Yuhi suggested to the organizers that he would do the opening instead. It took some persuasion, but it seemed like Narasaki said something too. Unfortunately, the pressure from receiving the solo offer to the opening act caused him to fall sick.
'I am feeling much better, but I won't last long. So before I collapse, I want to convey my present emotions.'
He turned to the brunette, her gaze blazed with worry.
"Jun-kun," Sumire mumbled.
"I am alright now. And I will sing your song, so please enjoy yourself."
With those words, Jun stepped onto the stage.
"A monogram becoming one in two,
What kind is our form?
Though it seems foolish, such a childish thing
Somehow, it's what we always draw
Tied to my theoretical heart
It is an extremely difficult paradox
I didn't understand my former self,
But now, I feel like I understand now
The future burst forth the instant our eyes met
Speeding straight to the heavens,
That's what I'll aim at forever
Shall we make our overlapping dreams be as one?
I'll take you there
I swear on my life, to wherever it may be
The confidence to make everything we wish for come true,
I have it, so I swear to you." Jun sang.
