A/N- Hello everyone ! My 'Bouken-mania' has made me to come up with this. Actually, I got the inspiration of this from….. no, I won't tell now! You try to guess :D I hope there are still some Boukenger fans around!
It was another normal day at the SGS salon. Akashi was doing paper works, Sakura was doing simulations or who-knows-what, Masumi was reading a book, Natsuki… never mind, and lastly, Souta was strumming on his guitar, filling the room with a pleasant sound as always. But this 'normal' day turned out to be a little different, as Makino-sensei entered the room with another person.
"Good morning, everyone." Makino greeted. "Well, here is Mr. Watanabe," he respectfully pointed to the person, who seemed to be very high-class, "a high official who came to visit from abroad."
"So this is the SGS members' salon?" he said looking around. "Nice to meet you all," he greeted.
The others gave replies, but Sakura looked at Makino-sensei. "Is it okay to bring him here?" she asked.
"Oh, it's fine. He's just visiting the museum," Makino assured.
Mr. Watanabe talked for a while, praised their room's design, everyone understood that he was a very artistic minded person. Then,
"By the way, what was the pleasant music which I heard when I first entered?" he asked them.
"Pleasant music?" Masumi repeated the words and chuckled.
"Do you mean," Akashi looked over Souta, "Souta's guitar?"
"Oh yes! The guitar!" Mr. Watanabe's face seemed to be lit up. "So you were playing it?" he walked in front of Souta.
"Yes. I'm Mogami Souta," he took out his hand.
"Souta! What are you doing here?! You see I'm a very huge music lover, and I haven't heard such a pleasant tune for a while!" Watanabe exclaimed.
"Oh… thanks." Souta didn't know what else to say. Maybe this was the first time someone praised his guitar skills!
"I can understand just from the few notes I heard, that you'll be a fine guitarist if you try," Mr. Watanabe continued, "I say you should get going onto that world!"
Souta scratched his head, "Oh well…"
"I'll give you an offer," Watanabe spoke up, "There's going to be an international music festival in a few days. A huge gathering, many talents," he paused. "So what do you say, you want to join?"
The offer came out of the blue. Souta hesitated to answer at first. "Well… it was kind of a dream of mine," he muttered.
"Oh, what are you hesitating about? Besides, your voice isn't bad, do you sing too?"
"Not exactly, but I was preparing a song…" Souta stumbled with words again.
"That's perfect! I am in charge of that festival, so please, join as our guest." Mr. Watanabe said formally.
But before Souta could say anything, Mister Voice's face popped up.
"No. We have a lot of work to do here."
"What's that?!" Watanabe pointed at the screen.
"Oh! Nothing! That's just the museum owner's avatar…" Natsuki and Masumi tried to hide Mister Voice.
"Well, that's right," now Akashi spoke up. "We are very busy. It won't be possible for Souta to manage time for that festival."
"Oh, it's not going to take so long! 3 days festival, maybe he has to be there for a few hours…"
"Doesn't matter," Masumi cut him. "Our mission…" but he was stopped by Sakura and Natsuki.
Souta had been looking to the ground, he finally looked up. "That's it I guess," he said, making Watanabe look at him in confusion, "I guess I can't join after all," he said slowly.
"Oh no, for real?" But a talent like you…" that's when a butler came and informed that Mr. Watanabe's car is waiting for their next trip.
"Okay, here's my card. You can still change your mind and join," saying that he left in a hurry.
This topic closed, everyone went back to their work. But there were more to this…
"A dream, huh?" the disappointment and sadness was visible in Souta's eyes.
"Has Natsuki ever seen Souta-san so… silent before?" Natsuki asked Sakura. Sakura looked from her laptop to Souta. Actually, he did seem lost in thoughts…
"Actually, Souta-kun's guitar tune really is pleasant," Sakura commented. "We never took the time to appreciate that," she glanced at Souta again, sighed, then again went back to her work.
