Afterglow 1

*cling*

I looked at the entrance of the shop, There were four girl entering.

Yeah, they were definitely Afterglow, The next band that I need to scout.

They were a band consisted of five childhood friends.

Though they're still fairly inexperienced, they gained popularity for their powerful performances and strong vocals.

Now that I remembered it, The waitress that served me before must be their Keyboardist.

"Tsugu!"

One of them shouted to the counter, She was a girl with pink hair. I think she was the leader of the band.

After that the waitress came back surprised in seeing her friend.

"eh!... You guys!? what are you doing here?"

"Did you forgot about our meeting?"

"Oh!... N-no I didn't"

From her reaction, her friend definitely guessed that she forgot their appointment

"You definitely forgot about it~"

"You are not being tsugurific today tsugu"

Moca was interjecting in those two conversation. What is tsugurific?

"Yeah... didn't we plan to meet Moca's friend today? Do you have a shift now Tsugu?"

"ah!... Don't worry my shift just end"

She sighed in relief. It seemed she can join the meeting in a while.

They continued to talk then Moca spotted me on the table drinking coffee while watching them.

"ohhh"

She then walked toward my table looking excited.

Her friend noticed her behavior and also saw me

When she arrived my table, she came closer and-

took the cake on my plate

"isn't this the new cake from the menu? its so good"

*twitch*

A vein was appearing on my forehead.

"wawawawa!? What are you doing Moca!?... I am sorry about this customer"

"hahaha don't worry about it"

I answered her with a troubled smile. Her other friend also came closer to my table.

"Moca what are you doing... c'mon apologize quickly"

"So at least time like this came... Moca's stealing another person food"

"R-ran you shouln't said that... but all of us expected something like this to happen"

All of them was saying similar things. Well from how they act at least they were very close.

Seeing her friend like this. Moca smiled triumphantly.

"fufufu... you don't need to panic... because this person is the one we will meet today"

Actually its still not okay for you to eat someone else food.

Hearing that her friend sighed in relief. They noticed that it will be okay if we knew each other.

"Then can you introduced him to us Moca? And why are you asking us to meet him?"

She walked closer to me and sit beside me.

Suddenly she started to hug my arms smiling at her friends.

"fufufu... then listen here... This is Elliot Artel and the reason I want all of you to met him is because He is my boyfriend"

She threw a bomb like it was nothing. all of her friend was gaping with their mouth wide open.

"...""...""...""..."

""ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?""

After they processed the information, They scream simultaneously. I looked at her feeling confused. she only grinned looking at her friends.

"M-moca is introducing h-her boyfriend... w-what should I do? Red rice right we should eat that tonight"

"Nooo... Why Moca the first one... Where is my prince in white horse?... this must be a dream"

"T-this is quite a surprise, right Ran?"

The maroon haired girl was the one lest affected by Moca's bomb. she tried to talk to her friend about this

"I-its just the same as always"

She said without a focus on her eyes.

"Waaaa!? Ran is broken!?... WAKE UP RAN!?"

She was shaking the black haired girl strongly like trying to wake her up.

All of them was showing variety of emotion from the false news. It was quite a funny sight.

"Isn't it time for you to explain the truth to them?"

I asked the source of this commotion.

"huhuhu... lets wait a bit and see the result of Moca-chan Prank."

I can only sight seeing her like this.

It took some time to explain and waiting for them to calm down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

We sat at the table in the cafe.

"Ok then lets restart the introduction... Nice to meet you member of Afterglow... I am Elliot Artel, a friend of Moca and I have some business with all of you"

They then introduced theirselves one by one.

"Ran Mitake, Guitarist and Lead Vocalist."

She spoke in an uninterested tone.

The one who spoke was a girl with short black hair with some red stripe. She has a sharp dark red eyes.

She wore a black shirt with bare shoulder with a short pants showing her healthy legs.

When I searched information about her, I stumbled into some porn site that made a character that looked like her. That was quite surprising.

Lets hope she didn't know about it. It will be quite shocking for her otherwise.

"Then next is the Cute bread loving Aoba Moca-chan~... I like bread and the lead guitarist of Afterglow... remember that Elliot~"

Even though its not needed she still introduced herself again.

She wore the same clothes as our previous previous meeting. An hoodie with a shirt and a short pants.

Even though, It was quite some time since we last met, I always make some time to chat with her through the phone. That was why she still looked comfortable with me even thought we just met once.

"Then next is me... Uehara Himari. I am the leader and the bassist"

https://bandori.fandom.com/wiki/Uehara_Himari

The one who spoke was the girl with shoulder length pink hair with a pig tail. She has green eyes and wore a stylist white shirt with a gray patterned skirt.

But she is the leader? This was the first time that I saw the bassist act as the leader.

How did they choose their leader anyway? then I looked at her closer.

She was short but when I squinted my eyes, I noticed that she have two powerful weapon on her.

Could it be because of that? Were they choosing her as leader because the size of her breast? It was really unique if that's true.

It seemed she noticed my gaze and hide her breast with her hand while blushing.

The others were glaring at me. Girls really had a sharp instinct on this. Could it be they also knew what I am thinking just now.

I sipped my coffee pretending to be oblivious to their stare.

ah what a failure, as an harem protagonist, I should be able to glimpse at it without anyone noticing. Maybe it was because I stare at it for too long.

"B-but Moca's joke was too much ... of course, it will be impossible that Moca is having a boyfriend before me"

She was trying to avert the conversation. Moca who was the subject retorted to her.

"ehhh... what do you mean by that Hii-chan... I can get boyfriend if I want you know"

"hahaha... okay, okay... don't fight you two... Next is me I guess"

"Nice to meet you Elliot... I'm drummer of Afterglow, Udagawa Tomoe... I heard a lot about you from Saaya and Moca but the previous one still took me by surprise... hahaha"

https://bandori.fandom.com/wiki/Udagawa_Tomoe

She was the tallest one from the five. Even though they were the same age, she looked like a young adult if compared from the rest. She had a mature disposition maybe because of her height and her clothes.

She has long maroon hair and turquoise eyes. She wore a black one piece and a blue vest on top of it.

Now that I think about it, She had the same last name with drummer of Roselia, could it be they were related?

"Then I am last.... Like I said before I'm Hazawa Tsugumi the Keyboardist and being childhood friends, we are afterglow!" She said looking proud

https://bandori.fandom.com/wiki/Hazawa_Tsugumi

"Wow that last line was very cool Tsugu"

"yeah... we can leave it to you to be Tsugurific"

"mooo... Don't tease me you two"

The last one was the waiter who served me when I entered the shop.

It seemed this is her family coffee shop.

Like previously said she has short brown hair and brown eyes.

Her clothing was very simple with natural color of brown with a black stocking on her legs.

Now then All of them already introduced themselves. Lets see how I can convince them to perform at Live house circle.
