【Na・Re・Ra】 Now, let’s get started

【Ca・Ej・Va】 Let’s sing of love

【Na・Re・Ra】 Keep your expectations high

【Ca・Ej・Va】 For our next

Natsuki-kun is the last to perform on stage during the graduation audition, yet he outshines the rest.

The intro of the song starts with Natsuki-kun’s wistful violin play paired with my piano play.

He starts off singing the first verse gently, full of emotion. The music is low, allowing his robust voice to reach far…

Above all, Natsuki-kun’s voice is very clear. His singing is the same as when he plays his string instruments—delicate and sorrowful. Yet at times, his delicate voice becomes bold. The hook of the song being especially intense completely conceals the weakness in his heart.

His voice is brimming with boundless confidence. I’m falling into the tale that is Natsuki-kun’s song…

Everyone, without exception, forgot about reality. Lured in by his voice, our hearts are filled with only his song.

He sings the last hook of the song gracefully till the end. When he looks up, the audience is clapping and giving him a standing ovation.

For the graduation audition, nine judges, including the principal, and the audience vote on who wins.

The nine judges give a score up to ten points each.

The audience votes on which student they think was the best, and the student that gets the most votes from the audience gets another ten points. Second place gets nine points, and it goes down to tenth place.

The person who gets the most points overall gets first place, becomes a new idol in the Shining Agency, then aims to become the top idol.

For the students who don’t win first place, anyone that gets more than 85 points can still join the Shining Agency.

Furthermore, there are people from other agencies that come to watch our audition…

Even if we don’t get into the Shining Agency, there’s a chance that another agency would ask us to join them.

But… this song is without a doubt going to win. Everyone is certain of it.

Audience A: How wonderful… It even made me cry.

Audience B: Yeah. It's a great song that reaches the listeners' hearts.

Ringo Tsukimiya: That was truly wonderful, Nacchan! The song is great, and you performed it perfectly.

Ringo Tsukimiya: Both of you are geniuses, so I’m sure this song wouldn't have become so wonderful without the two of you. No doubt, it's a miraculous song!

Syo Kurusu: ... Natsuki… Dang it! Your song was way too good! I expected nothing less from MY rival!

Once he is done and bows to the audience, Natsuki-kun comes running towards me backstage, while being out of breath.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Haru-chan… Did my feelings reach you?

Haruka Nanami: Yes. They reached me right here…

I lightly put both of my hands on my chest.

Natsuki Shinomiya: I’m so glad… Hey, come with me…

Natsuki-kun takes my hand and runs away from the stage.

Haruka Nanami: Er… w-what…?

Meanwhile, on the stage that is getting more distant—

Ringo Tsukimiya: This year’s winner of the graduation audition is Natsuki Shinomiya!

—I can hear Tsukimiya-sensei’s voice. Everyone is waiting for Natsuki-kun to appear on stage.

Audience: Encore, encore!

Audience Member: Natsuki-kun—! Come back—!

Haruka Nanami: Natsuki-kun… um, everyone is calling for you…

Natsuki Shinomiya: Yeah… but… We have to go, or it won’t start...

Unfazed, Natsuki-kun continues running, and the cheers gradually fade into the distance.

Natsuki-kun pulls me by my hand this whole time, until we arrive at the school’s rooftop.

At the rooftop, the sun has already completely set, making the star constellations of spring shine faintly.

Natsuki Shinomiya: On that day, this is the place where it should have started… But instead, this is where our story was cut off temporarily.

Natsuki Shinomiya: The first time I met you, I recall, was during the entrance ceremony. You fainted due to anemia… Hehe.

Natsuki Shinomiya: I embraced you gently in my arms.

Haruka Nanami: ... Back then, I caused you some serious trouble… I… I feel ashamed just from remembering it.

Haruka Nanami: Getting hugged from behind like that was… my… my first…

Remembering the scene from back then, my face turns sharp red.

Knowing that my face must be bright red, I reflexively hide it with my hands so he won’t see it.

I can’t quite see Natsuki-kun’s face…

Natsuki Shinomiya: You are always fast to hide your face like that. Please show yourself to me more. I want to see all the expressions you make.

e reaches out, places his hands on mine, and tightly grasps them. 

Haruka Nanami: ...

Natsuki Shinomiya: ... Maybe it was… love at first sight. Even though I only saw you from behind, in the end, people don’t need a reason to fall in love.

He speaks in a whisper as he looks straight at me with kind eyes.

Natsuki Shinomiya: My heart was throbbing when I heard the song that you made in the recording room.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Our meeting was fate, and you are my goddess of music, for now and forever…

Natsuki Shinomiya: When you called me by my name for the first time, I couldn’t sleep at night and kept looking at the starry sky...

Huh? Natsuki-kun too…? And here I thought he couldn’t get nervous…

Natsuki Shinomiya: Hehe. Surprised? It’s like when you’re nervous, my heart throbbed just as much as yours.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Furthermore, I’ll never forget that summer when we made music together. I will remember it for the rest of my life.

Natsuki Shinomiya: I was so scared playing the violin again after such a long time… But you smiled and said that you enjoyed making music with me.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Your smile back then was… so immensely cute.

Natsuki-kun smiles brightly, so much so that my head starts spinning.

Haruka Nanami: ... I can’t take more…

If my heart beats any faster, it might explode.

I don’t want to show him my expressions, but he is holding both of my hands, so I can’t hide behind them.

Realizing that he can see it all, I get even more embarrassed and shut my eyes tightly… That’s all I can do.

Natsuki Shinomiya: What is it…? Tell me, Haruka. Please, tell me everything…

He’s so close that I can feel the breath of his whisper on my ear, making all strength leave my body.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Oh… Sorry, I overdid it with the teasing.

Natsuki-kun gently catches me in his embrace.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Speaking of which, you fell unconscious due to anemia during the summer as well.

Natsuki Shinomiya: It was on the day when we went into the forest. I remember how much I struggled to hold back the urge to kiss your sleeping face back then.

Natsuki Shinomiya: You were already so important in my heart, yet I didn’t realize that it was ‘love’...

Natsuki Shinomiya: Until I suddenly did. ‘So that is love,’ is what I thought to myself. And that I love you so much that it’s unbearable.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Despite finally having realized my feelings, due to my weakness, I couldn’t initiate it. As a result, I hurt you many times.

Natsuki Shinomiya: When you pushed me away on the night of the fireworks, I thought you rejected me… I was in so much pain. It was disheartening.

Natsuki Shinomiya: I was unable to sustain myself, until my other self appeared out of concern…

Natsuki Shinomiya: The saddest part of it all was that my love for you was the very reason for the immense pain I felt after the rejection.

Natsuki Shinomiya: I realized that my pain was as strong as my love for you…

Natsuki Shinomiya: That’s why I want to start anew once more—our ‘love song’...

Natsuki Shinomiya: I’m no longer the same as I was then. That’s why… the me right now will confess once more.

Natsuki Shinomiya: ... I’m in love with you. Haruka… I love you. I love you so much that I can’t help it.

His gaze burns with a different passion than during the academy festival. There is a trace of Satsuki-kun in it…

But his eyes are just as kind as they were then… It’ll be fine, I won’t falter anymore.

Haruka Nanami: ... Me too.

Natsuki Shinomiya: ... I’ll never… let you go again…

As if being pulled together, our faces draw closer and our lips overlap.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Nh…

Haruka Nanami: ... Nh…! … Na… tsuki… ku… Ah…

This kiss is different from the light ones he always places on my cheeks and forehead…

It's a melty kiss—passionate and leaving me breathless… My head turns numb, and I can't think straight.

After our long kiss, as we draw our faces back slightly, Natsuki-kun smiles with a chuckle.

Natsuki Shinomiya: I swear eternity to you and this starry sky…

With that said, he kisses me again.

FIN

➺ Our (lovingly) grumpy boy!! He's such a darling as a boyfriend, you'll always feel very loved by him, no matter when and where! ♡

𝐍𝐨𝐰, 𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐜𝐬:

♡ At a first glance, Satsuki seems to be anything but a protective and loving partner. Sure, he's still part of Natsuki, who is a very protective and loving partner.. But they're meant to be opposites, right? Or so you thought..

♡ Ever since you got together with Natsuki, you'd notice a pattern in your relationship. Satsuki would come out every time you were sad or upset, not Natsuki, but Satsuki. It was weird at first, seeing the (most times) terrifiying other personality of your boyfriend comfort you with such tenderness and care, but with time you slowly became used to it;

♡ In the beginning of your relationship, he was very cold and distant with you. Not because he hated you, but out of fear. Even then, he'd still care for you in smaller ways since Natsuki cared so much about you. He'd prepare you food, always keep an extra hoodie for you in hand whenever it was cold, he even let you cuddle him at night (he's still your boyfriend so it's not like he had that much of a choice..);

➺ He's the very definition of grumpy on the outside, softie on the inside, and it won't be long before you find that out.

♡ He slowly warmed up to you as he realized you wouldn't hurt Natsuki, and that meant he became very overprotective very fast;

♡ Satsuki's priority in life is protecting those he loves, so as you became more and more important to him and Natsuki, he began to worry more about you, even to the point of coming out far more often just to care for you;

➺ Once in a while he gets a little jealous of Natsuki for spending so much time with you so he comes out to compensate...

♡ You're the love of his life, so obviously he prioritizes your well being over anything else. So the moment he sees you mopping around, looking like a kicked puppy after he got home from work.. Prepare to be coddled until you can't take it anymore (and he won't be taking no for an answer);

♡ He knows everything about you, so most times you don't even need to explain what happened for him to understand your worries/issues. Bad day at work? Got it. Didn't get a good score in a test in uni? That's fine, darling. Fought with someone you care for? It happens. Just woke up feeling down? Come here, love. The man just knows how to understand you better than yourself at times;

➺ If needed, he will be kicking ass, don't worry about it.

♡ He's very gentle with you, almost as if he'd break you if he was too harsh, since he just can't resist holding you. If there is one thing Satsuki hides from everyone (but you, duh) is how clingy he is! He does not mind you clinging to him as if you were a koala and he was your favorite tree, in fact he wants you to;

♡ Also, kisses!!! He will shower you with kisses just to make you laugh!!

♡ He'll do anything to see that big, bright smile he loves so much once again, the last thing he wants is his darling to be sad when he's around;

♡ If you prefer, he'll take you out for the day. Seeing the sun, walking and enjoying each other's presence, maybe even going for a little cafe date might take your mind out of your troubles and cheer you up a little;

♡ Otherwise, a stay at home date will be! A nice homemade meal (unlike Natsuki, he can actually cook really well), lots of cuddles and a movie/game marathon, or maybe just reading a book together before bed, whatever suits your mood;

➺ Or if you really want him to take your mind out of things.. He'll gladly help :) and will spoil you during aftercare.

00:00[You knock on Reiji’s door and poke your head into the room, asking if you can come in.]

Hm? Ah, it’s you. It’s fine. I have just finished reading my book.

[You step into the room.]

So? You must have a good reason for coming all the way to my room. What is it? I cannot imagine you simply came here on a whim.

[You explain and hand him the chocolates.]

Ah, now that you mention it, it is Valentine’s Day today. Thank you. I will accept them gladly.

[Reiji takes the box and opens it.]

Hm? They smell like black tea. Are they not regular chocolates?

[You explain.]

00:57Huh. I commend you for trying to make something that suits my tastes, but you definitely made the wrong choice here. You have to use stronger tea leaves, or the chocolate will overpower it. I can barely taste the tea at all. Making chocolate is difficult enough as it is, but it seems you have chosen a particularly tricky variety as well. Don’t you think you assigned yourself a task that far exceeds your capabilities?

[You pout, feeling disheartened.]

Ah. It cannot be helped.

[Reiji walks over to his tea equipment.]

What are you standing around there for? Come here and join me. Isn’t it obvious? We are going to make tea that goes well with chocolate.

[You join Reiji.]
