~~Happy birthday, Hatsune Miku! Sadly, there's no Miku in this chapter...

Uoooh, thank you very much for the support, and it's just the first chapter! Well, here are the replies...?

Guest: Len will appear soon, you just have to wait patiently~ Thank you!

RPR-san: Ufufu, I can't tell you yet, ufufufufu~

Lynn 'Ne'-chan: Eh? I don't think it's yuri enough to be called yuri... Miku doesn't do anything, you know. And no, actually I'm not a yuri fan *laughs* You like the plot? Waaai, thank you!

rinnykinz-san: Actually I have no idea how 'popular' she is, but maybe you can say 'well-known'? (And to think it has the same meaning. I don't know, feels different for me -_-)

rilenchan3700-san: Updated!

cosmoslogic-san: I love her too! (←bold) Thank you very much!

And here's the next chapter. There's another author note at the end of the story... Maybe you want to read it? *doubts it*


I'm just glad that there's no homework today. I think the teacher is still nice because it's still the first day of school. I know that later on, they will bombard us with piles of homework. I know it; every teacher is evil in their own way.

So, using that wonderful opportunity, I slip to the desk where the computer is. Feeling satisfied, I smile.

"And let's start now."


Chapter Two

Rearranging, Okay.


While at the school I'm not particularly good at anything, this one thing pretty much makes me proud of myself.

I am a music producer. W-well, not that good, though. I'm no professional. But I can say it's 'decent' from the comments I get from people who hear my music.

Actually it started when I found a certain well-known music producer under the name EV System, as I have previously said. He (well, let's just assume he's a he for now) uploaded his songs to the internet and I just simply fell in love with his works in the first hearing. The music he has composed so far is good and I can say he's really talented. There's this feeling inside that I want him to know that I really enjoy his music. But because of his popularity, he's a bit hard to reach.

It almost ended like that, but then I found these programs to make music—usually they're called computer music or desktop music—on my computer. Well, my dad was the one who installed all of them when he was still producing music. I don't know why he stopped and chose to be a painter, but when I asked him, he only laughed. It doesn't seem like he wants to talk about it, even until now.

Back to the computer music. At first it was just a try out of curiosity. I had zero planning on using it properly since… well, I can't play any musical instrument. Knowing how to play it is just a mere 'knowledge' for me. I mean, I know where's the C, D and E key on the piano but I can't really play it. But since this program doesn't really need that skill of finger dancing, it wasn't as hard as what I thought before.

Then that idea appeared in my mind. If I make a rearrangement of EV System's song, then he will notice me for sure, right? That was what I thought at first, but until now, a year after I started, he still hasn't said anything about my work. I don't know what I am expecting, to be honest. But then, I haven't given up as well, so I still continue to rearrange his songs. Well, sometimes I made my own music, but I rearrange EV System's song more often, and then upload it to the internet.

Just rearranging music from one specific producer does make people think that I am EV System's huge fan. Well, I can't deny that—the reason why I became a producer in the first place is because of him. And people who listen to my music also know that EV System hasn't said anything about my music, so many of them encouraged me to continue rearranging. Of course that makes me really happy.

And… talking about EV System's song… he uploaded a new song in the previous night when I was too busy rearranging his previous song. Since he often uses vocals in his songs, I have to sing as well in order to fill in the vocal part myself because I have no one who can sing for me. So technically I am a singer as well. EV System himself doesn't sing his songs by himself, almost all of them are sung by a singer called Mirai. It's an easy guess that Mirai is female because of the voice. And… that was when that notification got sent to my email.

I think it's better if I continue my current project before moving on the new one. I'm about to finish it anyway. What I have to do left is mixing the instrumental with the vocal and after that, it's done.

I eagerly wait as the splash icon of the program appears as it loads. While waiting, I unconsciously tap the mouse button. When the window had finally appeared, I immediately continue my work. I manage to finish it in no time, then I go to the site where I usually upload my music stuffs and quickly hover my mouse to the 'upload' button.

That was fast, I think as I fill in the description box with the usual information—and of course, crediting EV System. He's the one who composed the music, after all. Then because I have nothing else to do, I decide to take a look on the comments of EV System's new work.

Well, it's filled with the usual positive comments—praising his good work. I should do the same thing because… well, it's good, his music is good. But what to say? I just stare at the comment box while hitting some random keys on the keyboard, making some random characters appear on the box in return.

'Good job' has been used too many times already. 'I love it' sounds too weird (at least for me), then 'I want more work from you' is even worse and annoying…

"EV System-san, I have been enjoying your work for a long time. The music you make is always unique and unforgettable, I really love it." I raise my eyebrows as I see those words on my comment box. It seem like I type it unconsciously without really thinking, but eh, whatever. It doesn't sound that bad, so I press the send button.

I decide to listen to the song again so I would get the idea on how to rearrange it. But once I press the play button, I feel really glad that the repeat button exists—I press that afterward. Ouch, the song is really addicting…

When I accidentally catch a new comment as a response to my comment appears, I quickly look at it and read the comment.

"I really agree with Kagami Sound-san's comment, it's really good, EV System-san. And Kagami Sound-san, will you make a rearrangement to this song? Just asking ww"

Kagami Sound… That's what people know me. The name I use as a producer is Kagami Sound. I think it's a bit uncreative because I only take it from my surname, Kagamine. But believe me, I'm not that uncreative. I can rearrange songs, and that certainly needs creativity.

Although rearranging someone else's song rather than making my own song itself is uncreative, I admit it.

As a reply to the reply, I type another comment. "Maybe I will, just see w"

"Because I like Kagami Sound's rearrange as well wwwwww," that person replies again.

"Uwaa, thank you very much!" I reply again, though I just hope that person wouldn't reply again, I start to feel bad doing this on someone else's song's comment section.

Wait, it's EV System's, isn't it…?

I quickly regret my previous action while silently cursing about why we can't do the usual undo thing—of course we can't and the reason is pretty obvious, but still…!

I run my hand through my blonde hair, making the white ribbon on my head gets damaged and I end up pulling it off. Then my hand slide to my face and I facepalm momentarily. With a grumble from my mouth, I lift my head up again and look at the computer screen.

… There are some new comments on my recently uploaded music. I check it and read it one by one, slowly and carefully. I can feel my mood gets lifted up a bit after reading the comments. I love it when I know that people are there, supporting me with my works.

Though I think that way, however, when I look EV System's comments again…

"Kagami Sound had uploaded the rearrange of the EV's previous song!" And at the end of that comment is the link.

"Oooh, I want to hear it~"

"As usual, Kagami Sound's rearrange is nice and sweet, I wonder whether this person is a male of female…"

"Isn't Kagami Sound a female?"

"I dunno, maybe he asked a girl to sing his arrangement?"

"Anyway, here's Kagami Sound's playlist if anyone's curious~"

Ugh, why are people commenting my song on the comment box of EV System's song?! If this goes on continuing, then it would fill the whole comment and he would notice it for sure… but unlike the way I want him to notice me.

He would think that I, Kagami Sound, is a very, very annoying fan of him who has nothing to do but rearranging his songs, hoping for attention—and even worse, trying to prove that I'm better than him—and one of the reason why the comment of his song is filled up like this! Isn't this just great?! And to think that my first day of high school had already been ruined by someone who I just befriended suddenly confessing her feeling to me…

Why is this happening to me?!


~~So, there are three internet (stage?) names for now. Rin's name's Kagami Sound, and I think it sounds plain... If anyone has idea for a better name I will consider about it.
