Whispering You a Love Song ch63: Yakiniku, Reports, and the Future.

p1

Man~
I wasn't expecting you to have them all ready by the next week.

Splendid.
Very splendid.

Okay then.
To mark this commemorative first step, today we'll...
Go to a studio!?

Don't be so hasty.

First,
we should have a little get-together.

p2-3

What awaits beyond this sound...?

p5

A-

A private stall!

This is really fancy.
Hawa...
Seeing those cute reactions makes it worth bringing you along~

p6

I know there are lots of delicious restaurants in Tokyo,
so I was looking forward to coming here.
Down we go.

So you came here from Tokyo again today?
That's right~
Of course.

Actually,
Okinawa is a lot further away
than I had imagined.

How long does it take?
Even on the bullet train, it takes me close to three and a half hours!

There's not enough alcohol either.

p7

What?
You've been drinking already?
It's a business trip. Cut me some slack~

Don't worry.
I'm not drunk in the slightest.

If this woman okay...?

Come on.
Let's save the chit-chat for later.
Order whatever you'd like.

Wah~...

p8

SO PRICEY

I-
Is this for four people?

Eh?
That's per person.
Eeep

Th-
There must be something even I can order...
Bean sprout namul...?
Ah~
It's fine on fine.

It's my treat today.
All
on
me<3

p9

Feel free to order anything you want.

Anything!?
Are you sure!?
For real!?

Do you think of me as a liar?
Don't underestimate the power of an adult.

It's actually a company expense.
Eh~?
Then how about this!?
It looks really good.
Also this~

Is that everything?
Excuse me~

p10

Yep.
Should've figured.

I did say you could order whatever you'd like,
didn't I?

High-class Meat Lineup

I love you, Chishiro-san~<3
You damn brat!!
I'm only letting you off cos you're so cute!

...So, uh,

is that really what you ordered?
Parfait~

p11

Ah.
Was I not supposed to?
Sorry.
No.
I never said you couldn't...
It's just an unusual pairing is all...

Sweets are a staple of Hajime-chan's diet~
I get the feeling I've stumbled across some rather intense girls...

Well, it's fine.
It's the intense characters that sell well these days.

Well then.
First off, let's celebrate Laureley taking part in Zepp
with a toast.

Cheers!

p12

Nothing beats drinking booze with some cute girls~
...Gro-

...Gro?
It was nothing~

Come on.
I'll do the frying, so you girls eat up~

Hey!
Hima!
Have you tried this!?
It's crazy good!
!!
You're right!
Eh?
So tender!

p13

Now then.
Let me talk business for a bit.

Naturally for the live show,
you'll be going with that song that went viral at the school festival, right?

Ob coursh.
That was our intention too.

That's an original song, right?
It's really high quality.
One would hardly think you were high schoolers.

p14

Is Hajime-kun the one who made it?
Eh?

I did a little research on everyone.
Y'know.
Just to be safe,
okay?

So like.
It seems you've been doing a lot of living in the music world.

Well,
I guess
I did do the final adjustments and such.
But

p15

the lyrics and composition
were all her.

Oh?
Shiho-kun, huh?

Shiho-chan has quite the musical background too.
That so?

Well,
I had done violin from a young age.

p16

I see.
So you started off with classical too, Shiho-kun.

And you don't do that anymore?

...
Yeah,
I guess.
I quit a fair while ago.

Well, childhood lessons do be like that.

p17

It's still amazing, though.
It takes talent to make a song that latches onto you like that.

...Y-
You
think so?

It's no mere flattery.
I mean it.

You're still in high school,
so you're only going to get better from here on out.
Scratch that. I'll make you better!

Fuhah.
Well then.
I'll look forward to it.

p18

How about you, Momoka-kun?
What's your musical background?
I'm not on the same level as these two,
but there was a period I got to experience a little music.

I see.
You've all good your different backgrounds.

But
the way you've all come together to do music
feels kinda, y'know,
emotional.

p19

That's right.

We're together because of a certain someone.

Heh...

Then shouldn't I go give my regards to this person too?

No...
She's...
um
not really close enough to go see right now...

p20

I see.
That's a shame.
B-
But!

It's thanks to her that we're where we are now!
I want to make sure she enjoys this upcoming live show too!

That's why
I...
want to give it my best.

p21

Ah.

S-
Sorry...
I got a little worked up...

A song you want a dear one who is far away to hear...
Even more emotional.

It was worth digging into your anecdotes~

Wait.
Ah!
Your hands have stopped moving!
Go on.
Eat up! Eat up!

p22

Phew~
That was delicious~
I'm stuffed.

Thanks for the food, Chishiro-san!

Yeah, yeah.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Well then.
I'll come to Okinawa again next week.
We'll rent out a somewhat big studio so I can see you practice.

Ah.
If you just wanna do a regular practice, let me know.
I'll join in remotely!
Later~

p23

I wonder if she'll treat us to delicious food again...
It'll probably be gyudon next time.

Hmm... 2pm already, huh?

I've got plans after this, so I'll be taking my leave.
Oh.
That's rare.
Normally you'd suggest we go to a family restaurant for a strategy meeting.

Indeed.
Are your plans that important?
Well.
I guess...
it's kinda important, but not really...?

That's so ambiguous! Is it something you're not comfortable talking about!?
If there's something troubling you, you can talk to us, right?

Overprotectives~

p24

Like I said, it's not like that...
?

Argh, geez!
Fine! There's something I've been hiding from you!

The truth is...

p25

I had a feeling as such,
but I'm surprised Shiho-chan and Mizuguchi-senpai have made that much progress.
Same here.

I didn't notice it at all.
Shiho
is surprisingly put-together when it comes to stuff like that.

Seeing their exchange at the school festival
made me feel happy myself.

If Shiho's making that kind of face, we can assume it's really going well.

p26

Shiho-chan looks so happy.

Now I have something else to tell Kyou-chan.
I wonder if she'll be surprised.

...I wonder

about that.

She wasn't really the type to talk about romance all that much.
Eh~?
That so!?

She talked about it a lot with me, though.

p27

I guess she had a side
that she only showed her lover.

...
Yeah.
You may be right.

p28

Long time no see, Kyou-chan.

I have lots of things to report to you today.

p29

Phwah
I sure talked a lot.
That took longer than usual.

I'm surprised too.
I guess it's because so much has happened lately.

True.
I wonder what Nee-san would say if she heard
that we might be going pro.

I'm sure she'd say something like
"Congratulations!"
"I'm rooting for you!"
with sparkles in her eyes.

p30

Haha
I can picture that.
Right?

...Say, Momoka.
What are you looking forward to?

Eh?

What do you mean?
I'm excited too.
I'm looking forward to seeing our CDs lined up in stores.

p31

...
No.

I don't know,
I think.

You don't know?

Well,
it's like,

becoming pro is a goal of mine, or rather,
it was Kyou-chan's dream...

p32

But when it comes to what lies ahead,
how should I put it,

I don't...
really know.

I want to end my relationship as lovers with you here. This is all my own selfishness.

p33

...
You don't...

You don't
have to focus on Nee-san all the time.

...
Eh~?

That's difficult.
Kyou-chan is always my number one after all.

p34

Are you

gonna stay like that forever, Momoka...?

...Eh?

p35

Nee-san is always your number one,
and you're aiming to be a pro for her.

But
if there's nothing you want to do for yourself after that,

what will your purpose be?
What's going to become of your life, Momoka?

p36

Th-
That's...

I want you...
to have your own dream, Momoka.

More importantly,
today at the restaurant,

Shiho-chan was all...
Momoka!

p37

...Ng.
Stop it.
Just stop it.

I don't want to think

about things I don't understand.

p38

But if you don't,
you'll never be able to move forward.

I know.
I know that, but

moving forward will surely be painful
for both me and Kyou-chan.

That's not...

p39

I can't do anything about it!
She suddenly disappeared from my life!

It was because Kyou-chan was there for me
that I was able to smile back then...!

...It left
a hole inside of me that was just so huge...
The one thing I found I could hang onto was becoming pro...
with Laureley...
That's why...

p40

I have no idea
what lies ahead.

Kyou-chan is all I have...

That's not true
and you know it!

p41

Besides,
Nee-san's not the only one
who'd been by your side caring for you.

Eh?

At the very least,

for the longest time,
I've been...

p42

Stop it.

Mo...
moka?

p43

Why?

Why do you have
to pick now
to say something like that?

p44

I
trusted you.

No matter what feelings we had,
we would shoulder them together...

And yet...
Momoka...

p45

Momo...!

p46

...I'm
so stupid...
