Light Academy, gardens.

Back when she was beside her Kiryu.

It was simple writing lyrics and composing music.

Even when she ran into difficulties, she was still able to write. But now, now she can't.

Lila put the pen down and exhaled deeply. Ahhhh she can't do it. She was thinking to make some cool adjustments before the official recording, but maybe it's okay to leave it how it is. Besides, it's not just her. Senpai also thinks that there's something wrong. It doesn't help, that she isn't able to talk to him properly about this.

Right now, exactly what are the two of them doing? Even back when he joined devil. Those peaceful days felt fleeting like a dream. It was like they were both trying to escape from something.

She and Kiryu are both similar in that aspect. They both want to escape.

....

Oh, this singing is...Lila followed the source and eventually came to a clearing, and spotted a girl with blonde hair, "Yumeko-chan!!" Lila said surprised. She did not expect to see the girl considering how grave the others expressions words were earlier.

"Ah, Ari-chan."

"Weren't you supposed to be ..." Lila trailed off.

Yumeko laughed awkwardly, "I don't want to run away. But it's true I can't show myself."

She doesn't get it. It must be a very complicated issue.

"Yumeko-chans singing is good." Lila complimented.

Yumeko laughed lightly, "Aha. But I made mistakes."

Lila nodded in agreement, "Right, there was a lot."

"Ari-chan, your way too blunt."

"And yet, despite that. There's something about you that's different."

"Different?" Yumeko repeated.

"Yumeko-chan's singing, you don't need to use techniques to move peoples heart," Lila commented.

That's right, even if there's no skill. Everyone ends up with smiles on their faces.

.....

A few minutes later.

It was the first time she had seen Haruka like that, the first time she had seen him so desperate and angry.

It was then that she realized that the relationship between the two was anything but simple. She thought she already understood that much before. But, she underestimated it. Yumeko-chan too seemed slightly taken back and yet...

There's something about those two.

Yumeko-chan didn't fight back and listened to him.

For the past few minutes, there was silence once Yumeko left. But the moment she called his name, his lips were on hers, feverishly, hungry with desire as he pushes her against the wall. She lets him like she usually does.

To shut her up, he always does this by letting herself getting caught up in his pace and allowing him though. Isn't she just as bad? But it does feel good..."Ari-chan, not here." He mumbled.

"Oh..s--sorry.." she pulled back, realizing what she had just done.

How embarrassing, she thought that they would. Lila shook her head, why does she keep getting caught up in his pace?

Her thoughts broke off when she felt his hand on hers.

Her hand...

"Let's get going." Haruka murmured.

Lila looked at him with a puzzled expression, "? But the interview isn't till later."

Haruka sighed to himself and gave her a 'you don't even know this much look,' she would have commented. But Haruka quickly explained, "We need to show them that you're not running away.

"Oh."

She supposed that makes sense. Lila stared at him for a few minutes, which didn't go unnoticed by him.

"What?"

"Were holding hands. Is that okay?" Lila asked. As clueless as she is, even she understood this much. A grown man and woman holding hands, people will misunderstand. For her, though it meant nothing, whether it's a kiss or holding hands. But that's her, for ordinary people her behavior is unusual.

Haruka nodded and bluntly said, "Yeah," he paused. Lila stared at him in disbelief. This guy, does he want the rumors to be confirmed? Haruka continued, "You keep staring."

"I was thinking Haruka; you're a typical guy."

He looked at her questioningly, "What?"

"....Ah-huh, very typical."

He wants to show her off to everyone...

"A typical guy? Do typical men do this? Maybe they do. But, they won't make you feel the way I do."

Eh. .

11:45 am, Light Academy Courtyard A

. . . What's with this sudden professionalism? Then again, she is a pro. A deep with escaped his lips. The feeling of the girl's body against his, her sweet moans as he teased her still lingered on his mind. She is, driving him crazy.

"Kiku Ari really is pretty in the flesh."

The girl in the braids nodded in agreement and commented. "It's feels refreshing talking to her."

"She's going to have more problems because she's this pretty though.."

"Right, there's already bad rumors."

Shut up.

Shut up.

What do the rest of you know?

If you knew her actual identity, you probably wouldn't be saying that. But right now she's a random girl who debuted under a good company with a mysterious international status.

Right now, she's a random girl.

She isn't the Terashima family's precious gem.

Or a number one idol.

Or Austin Kiryu's girl.

With her identity now, isn't it possible for the two of them to be together?

"Haruka !" Lila exclaimed happily as she rushed over to him.

Haruka got rid of the dark look on his face and smiled softly, "Done for now?"

"Yeah. The official interview isn't till later," Lila explained, "They told me I could rest for a bit."

Haruka nodded; at least those people have brains.

"So until then..." Lila started.

"We can make out." Haruka finished for her.

"We should watch DEVILs interview.."

When he heard Lila's response, Haruka's eyes twitched in annoyance, "Hey..forget the interview."

"No, I want to watch," Lila stubbornly said.

Is she serious? He wants to continue. It's true he's curious about the interview, but even then... His gaze landed on the girl who wore a serious look. Seems like he has to deal with this, for now anyway.
