With You, I Can Sing for Tomorrow ch4-1: Blowing in the Sea Breeze

p1

Yuzuki's bad with expressing herself. She tries to write lyrics but her pen won't move. Isn't this pretty bad!?

Hmm...
I decided I would write some lyrics,

but I can't think of anything...
Hmm...
Yuzuki-chan?

p2

Sorry. Were you studying?
...No, I was preparing for the culture festival.

That's lovely.
When's it happening? Me and your father would love to go.
...Last Saturday of September.

Oh?
Isn't that day...

The culture festival's on the day of your birthday, right, Yuzuki?

...How did you know that?
Y'know. Future person power and all that.
...

p3

Is there anything you want?
My Mom asked me the same thing.
Heh~ So what did you tell her?

"You can ask for anything."

Nothing... in particular...
Eh~!? That's so unselfish!

And here I am, consumed my material desires.
That's just you, Hinata.
I mean...

I have no idea how much I should ask for.
So, what's the plan for the culture festival?

p4

We've got a 20 minute slot, so let's go with two covers and one original.
By original, you mean the one we're writing right now?
Yep.

So, how goes the lyrics?
Urk...

Erm... How goes the song?
Me?

I'm pretty much finished.

F-...
For now, we should at least practice the covers.

This is bad...
I'm home~

p5

Welcome back. Friend of yours, Hinata?

Yeah, something like that.
Pardon the intrusion.
I'm gonna borrow the studio for practice.
I'll be editing from 5, so only until then, okay?

Editing?
Sound enginerring, editing assistance, amateur bands and the like.
Well, I guess it's partly a hobby for him?
Woah.

Wait, you live with your grandfather?
Yep. Parents are abroad. I just came back from overseas recently myself.

Aah, so that's why...
Freedom
Ah, that's just a returnee girl stereotype.
Come on, let's go.

p6

Wah~!

It's like the real thing.
You bet it is~

p7

What's this cute thing? A sea slug?
...Ghost Bunny.

First time I've heard of this character.
That's cos it's the first time I've shown you it.
Eh? It's hand-made? You knitted this?

The future me was gonna make this an original character for our band, but we argued over the rights.
That so?
Also, you told me it wasn't cute at all, Yuzuki.
Is that so...?
...I don't know if that's true or not, but knowing me, I was probably hiding my embarrassment or something.
But never mind that, let's practice.

Okay, let's start with a cover song.
One, two♪

p8

Phew. That went well.
Y-Yeah...

But I'm gonna be singing this in public, aren't I...?

Next is the original...
Wait, what's wrong?

That's your lyrics notebook, right?
Show me.
No... Um.

Ah!

p9

...It's still blank.
I had no idea what to do!

What do you do when writing songs?
I just use whatever drops into my head, I guess?

...Sorry I asked.
I do technically have a bunch of theories,
but I mainly use what I'm thinking in the moment as inspiration.

What I'm thinking? Easier said than done...

p10

Anything fun happy lately?
Hmm~...

Anything that moved you?
HMM~...

Okay! I've got an idea!

Let's go on a date!
Eh?
