Debut

Iwasawa looked at the stage in front of her and wasn't sure how to describe her feelings at that moment.

"You're ready, right?" Haru asked with a smile.

Hearing his question, Iwasawa nodded confidently. "Yes!"

"I can't help you during your performance, so after this, you need to show your ability and do your best," Haru said while looking at Iwasawa and her band members.

After his matter with the investment bank and the association of pachinko parlor owners ended, Haru went to Iwasawa to help her with the matter of her debut. He had promised to give her a debut so he helped her and he was also part of the talent of his talent agency, though, it might be only her who received such special treatment.

However, it was normal, considering how close the relationship between Haru and Iwasawa was.

"YES!" 4x

Iwasawa and her bandmates said at the same time.

"I know that it might be late, but do you really want to debut? If you do, then you will receive a lot of attention and your life will be very busy, but even so, do you want to debut?" Haru asked. He knew that the television program would start, but he didn't care much since he could cancel their debut easily.

Iwasawa and her bandmates looked at each other and nodded.

"Yes."

Iwasawa nodded and said, "We have prepared ourselves, Haru. We want to make our debut!" She had made up her mind and no one could stop him. She also wanted to repay Haru by becoming a popular band as soon as possible.

Hearing their answer, Haru nodded and said, "Then I won't stop you. Just do your best and prepare yourself. I will stay here and if you have something to ask just ask me." He grabbed a chair and sat nearby. Even though he wasn't part of the staff or the singers, no one said anything since he owned shares of this television company.

Iwasawa looked at Haru for a bit then turned toward her bandmates.

Hisako, Miyuki, and Shiori were also looking at Haru then looked at Iwasawa.

In truth, the four of them would have never expected that they would have a debut during their high school time, especially Hisako, Miyuki, and Shiori.

The three of them had just met Iwasawa and Haru more than two months ago, and they had decided to make a band with Iwasawa, but they had never expected that they would debut so soon, after all, in their eyes, a debut was a very amazing thing and it might be far-fetched from them.

However, the three of them had trained so hard and they would do their best on their first performance on the television, even though they were quite nervous at this moment.

Unlike the three of them who thought a debut was something amazing, in Iwasawa's eyes, a debut was just a beginning and her dream was more than that, especially when she was living with the richest man on earth. She felt that her dream to debut was too small so she decided to become the most popular band on earth.

Iwasawa looked at the three of them and said, "I know that you're all nervous, and I am also the same." Her hand was trembling since she knew whether her journey would be smooth or not would be decided at this moment.

"But enough of that, I don't want to get sappy before our first performance and what I want to say is let's enjoy this moment and let them remember the name of Girls Dead Monster!" Iwasawa roared.

"OOOOHH!!!!" 3x

The three girls also roared and they were full of excitement.

"Haru, watch over me!" Iwasawa said with a smile while raising her fist toward him.

Haru stood up then gave Iwasawa a fist bump with a smile. "Go and rock this country."

"Yeah." Iwasawa smiled, but then, she wanted to ask him something.

"What's wrong?" Haru asked since he felt that Iwasawa's expression was a bit wrong.

"Can... Can you hug me?" Iwasawa asked with a blush.

"........"

Haru was dumbfounded since it was his first time to see Iwasawa, asking him this kind of request.

"...You can't?" Iwasawa felt a bit depressed when she was rejected.

"No, it's alright." Haru shook his head and said, "Come here." He opened his arms and saw her turn shy.

Iwasawa was a bit flustered and then threw herself toward him, hugging him.

Both of them hugged each other and somehow recalled their first meeting. They met each other on the street and at that time, it was her birthday and she received a cake from him. By then, he invited her to work for him and she also moved to his house.

There were a lot of things that happened between the two of them, and Iwasawa realized that she was quite greedy and wanted more from him, she wanted to be more than his friend, and she wanted to be part of him.

"Thank you."

Iwasawa buried her face on his chest, trying to hide tears that came out from her eyes.

Haru caressed Iwasawa's head and could feel something wet on his clothes, but he didn't say anything.

Iwasawa calmed herself and looked up.

"Watch me from here, alright?"

"I will watch you here so don't give me a crap performance, alright?"

"I will show you the best performance!"

Iwasawa smiled, then walked to her bandmates. "Let's go."

Hisako wrapped her hand around Iwasawa's neck and asked, "Did you date him?"

"Wh... What are you talking about?!" Iwasawa blushed and became flustered.

Hisako smirked and said, "This guy's charm is huge, you should move first or else, someone might steal him from you."

"Ugh..."

Iwasawa twitched her lips and didn't tell them the truth that Haru had a harem. "Enough chit-chat, let's go!"

"OOOHH!!!" 3x

The four of them quickly entered the stage when their bane name was called by the MC and started their first performance on television.

Haru was watching them from the side and suddenly someone stood beside him.

"Where have you been Shiina?"

"There's something delicious in that room." Shiina then showed a donut and asked, "Do you want to eat, Haru?"

"Well, thank you." Haru didn't reject Shiina's offer and ate the donut, but he almost dropped his donut when he heard her question.

"Can you hug me too, Haru?" Shiina asked.

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

Iwasawa stood in front, holding her guitar, and stared at the camera. Her expression was full of determination and confidence. She took a deep breath and said, "Please listen, Crow Song!"

"There's a wall of shutters behind me.

My fingertips smell like iron.

Moving forward! Strum those strings! It's crowded, at any rate.

Find a way from here."

Along with the music on the instruments and Iwasawa's voice, the Girls Dead Monster took their first flight and made their debut!
