Sound Changes IV
I sat up in a jump and stammered, "Good evening. No, it's no problem at all." "I'm glad to hear that," the man replied. "I was in the Business Administration project presentation of Saitama University a couple of days ago, the reason being that I was already interested in your company. I wanted to make sure you had a proper vision for it before recommending it to the CEO. It took me these last few days to convince him, that's why I'm calling at this time." No words came to my mind. I didn't even know what to think. I hadn't heard about Archilands Records before. What if it was a scam? Or maybe they just wanted to use us to get more popular. Maybe it was a mistake. The man laughed nervously, "I apologize, I always talk too much before asking: are you interested in this proposal?" Read more
Sound Changes V
I was in the middle of taking a shower when my glasses rang with a call. I walked out of the bathroom only wearing a towel and put my glasses on to see that the lawyer was calling. He had already worked extra without asking for more money, so I didn't want to make him wait. I answered the call and a hologram of him projected out of my glasses onto the floor. Luckily, he wasn't able to see me. "Good evening, Mr. Miyahara," he greeted me. "I just reviewed the contract, so everything's fresh in my head." "Great. What do you think?" "There's nothing wrong with it. Some of the terms might be a little harsh or ambiguous, but everything makes sense from the point of view of a company." "That's what I thought." "Why did you ask

For Good
Destroyed, I walked back to Aki's apartment. Thirty minutes remained before we needed to go to work, so I wanted to be alone with her until then. However, I stopped when I raised my hand to ring the bell. I wanted to be comforted, but not in the way Aki did. Instead, I walked to the neighboring apartment and rang the bell. Haru opened the door a few seconds later. "Kaito? I'm glad to see you, but what are you doing here? Don't you have work in half an hour?" she smiled. Her smile disappeared as soon as I said, "Can I come in for a bit?" She turned around to look inside her apartment before looking at me again and nodding. She held the door open for me to enter and closed it behind me. Her apartment was a little messy wit

Only Up
Everyone sat in silence until the door opened and Haru appeared behind it. She waved and smiled. Aki stood up in a jump and shouted, "Aunt?!" "Hi, Aki," Haru giggled. "Why do you seem so shocked?" "I just… didn't expect it." Haru chuckled. I signaled her with my head to step in and so did she. She stood next to me in the middle of the studio. "She's your aunt?" Risa wondered. "I see the resemblance, now that I know it," Astra added. "I didn't see her face properly that time in the car," Umi said. "I'm sure I've seen her at Saitama University before." Haru replied, "Yes, I am… was a

Known Amongst Unknown
As I talked with Jun in his apartment, my glasses started ringing and a name appeared on the screen. Talents Of The Old Tomorrow? Another company. Should I answer? "A call?" Jun wondered as he drank more of his beer. I nodded and sighed. "Looks like it's another company. I should answer, but it's late and I'm tired of dealing with this—" "Just answer." The glasses kept ringing as I sat in silence. Why am I even thinking of avoiding it? My glasses recognized my command and the call started. "Hello?" I said. "Good evening, Mr. Miyahara," a woman replied. "I'm very sorry to bother you this late, but we haven't found the time to call you until now." She sounded truly embarrassed. "Don't worry, I'm used to it," I joked, but I realized it didn't sound as I had expected it to sound; it even sounded cocky. I cleared my throat and asked, "What do you need?" "Yes. I'm calling on behalf of Talents Of The Old Tomorrow. We are a company with the goal of bringing classical music to the prese

Talents of the Old Tomorrow
We turned around to see Aeryx walking through the glass door. Oh, Ms. Yoshida meant her. "I thought you had already left," Ms. Yoshida laughed nervously. Aeryx replied with her hands on her waist, "And miss the opportunity to meet beautiful and talented girls?" The girls instantly perked up their chests and stood straight like soldiers. Aeryx chuckled and smirked, "Astra, Aki, Sanae, Risa, Umi, it's a pleasure to meet you. You only have one album, yet I'm already a fan of your work. I mean it." The girls grinned at each other and Sanae replied, "Thank you! We also admire your work, mostly Umi, she's a fan of yours." Everyone looked at Umi, who stared at Aeryx in shock. It took a couple of seconds for her to come back to reason. She shook her head and stammered, "Yes, I have been a fan of yours for almost three years." Her eyes kept moving up and down, barely making eye contact with Aeryx. "Since I started, then. I'm flattered. I know you wrote the songs for Blossom Stars. You're s

Aura of Inspiration
The meeting ended after several minutes of exchanging ideas and talking about their details. Both Aeryx and Ms. Yoshida walked with us to the entrance and we said goodbye as we stepped out. I called Butcher to tell him we were done and we stood in silence while we waited for him. No one could believe what had just happened. "What are we going to do until the first concert?" Risa wondered. "Nothing is officially established yet," I answered. "There's a lot of paperwork to do, but you will be working with Aeryx soon." Out of nowhere, Astra jumped at Risa and squeezed her while grinning. Risa's face grew red as the hug lasted for a few seconds. Astra eventually stepped back and apologized, "Sorry, I'm just very happy. I can't believe this is happening." "We all are very

Astra
Why, Dad? Even when the world was ending, you didn't listen to me. You were selfish, doing everything while leaving me behind. I was alive, but then what? I was alone in space. There was not a single living being in sight, only a supernova consuming all. No one knew what was coming. Only a few were lucky enough to react on time, including us. You. I woke up in the capsule to see you not beside me. My biggest fear became reality. It was only a matter of time before you left me for your happiness. Was I not your Sunbeam? I told you many times that I didn't want you to sacrifice yourself for me. As long as we were together, everything was going to be alright. You just left a letter for me, stuck to the wall with tape. For my SunbeamRead more
Umi
The awful, rainy days became my only escape. I worried about homework and how to beat my little brother, while everything else was my parents' obligation. Or so I thought. Sunny days used to mean we'd be going on a fun outing to explore and play, until the day suited men appeared at the door. Mom and Dad showed a side I didn't think possible and one that I didn't want to see again. Even though my parents stopped answering, the suited men kept coming day after day. They would get tired and go away, but the uneasiness would stay for the rest of the day. Mom and Dad argued over whose fault it was, while my little brother and I could only curl up in the corner and cry. I covered his ears, but no one covered mine. The months

Risa
Nine years of education had slipped from our lives, but it only hit us when teens our age had started middle school. Talking with them was the only way for Sanae and me to get close to it. Our biological parents had abandoned us. In the only letter they left, they asked whoever found us to never get our DNA checked. That meant we could never be registered as citizens, which made it impossible for us to do a lot of things, which included being able to go to school. Butcher, the man that found us, did everything in his reach to give us a normal life. He struggled with money, so he had to make many sacrifices. Although we were too young to understand at the time, we did as we grew up. He abandoned his dreams for us and his life changed completely; it was only fair for us to return the favor. Thanks to him, we enjoye
