Summary: This story is based on a poem I recently wrote. It was also my own English version of Kiseki Hikaru by Aqours. Now onto the story at hand. It is about Mari Ohara. She was looking for work in uptown Tokyo after graduating from high school. Nothing really stuck to her except when she was performing with her friends from Aqours. She was thinking about taking on a solo singing career to see where it will take her. Will she get a big hit or will she end up in the Gutter?
Chapter 1
New Life
It was raining one day in Shibuya and Mari was heading for her first job interview. She was going to apply to be a waitress at a restaurant down on the beach where she met the three students named Lucia, Lina, and Hanon. The restaurant was called the Pearl Piari and she thought it really appealed her interest in singing since the girls sang there from time to time.
"Man it has been some time since I've been on the beach" she thought. She felt a nice warm breeze running through her hair and she felt at ease in the serene scenery about the area. Once she took in the local scenery, Lucia led Mari inside for her interview. Mari being asked all the usual questions like if she had any experience as a waitress and if she had any other skills like cooking, cleaning, and such. Mari that she can cook and clean. She also mentioned that she could sing really well. The manager asked her if she would like to have an audition this evening to test her ability. She said that she would love to have an audition. "Well alright then we'll see you this evening at 7:00 sharp" the manager said. Mari got up from her chair and shook his hand then she strolled out the door with a giddy look upon her face.
When Mari walked out of the manager's office, Hanon asked her how her interview went. She told Hanon all about everything. She also mentioned that she had an audition at 7. When Hanon heard about that audition, she got all excited hugged her all the way to next week. "By the way, do you have a song lined out for your audition?" asked Hanon. "I have one that me and my girls wrote back home" Mari answered.
Hanon asked what the name of the song was and Mari said it's called "Shining Miracle". "Isn't that the song by Aqours?" asked Hanon. "Yes it is and I was apart of that group until we all graduated" said Mari. "Wow, that's so cool!" Hanon said excitedly.
"Well I have to get back and get dinner started before I starve myself to death" said Mari. "Ok, oh by the way, you aren't living at the hotel down the curb are you?" asked Hanon as she was heading out the door. Mari said that she was living in that hotel. Hanon said that if she wanted, Mari could rehearse in the lobby because she and her friends actually lived in the same hotel. "Sure, maybe you three could be my background singers if y'all want" said Mari. "Cool, let me ask Lucia and Lina and see what they think" answered Hanon.
