[ 3rd Person POV ]
[ Location ] [ Aoyama Daycare Center ]
"Settle down now everyone!" called out the red haired pony tail girl. Being in a room full of bustling children, she never seem to complain as it only gives her a brightened smile. She just loved the genuine laughter and the smiles that each of these little ones emit.
Alas. As much as she does not want to disturb them of their fun. She needs to grab all of their attention in order for her to proceed and start her teaching.
The children being obidient. Especially towards her. She had managed to gather all of their attention with ease. "There now. Now that I got your ears. We're about to begin our arts and crafts activity. Alright?"
"Yaay!" the children cheered in utmost excitement. To which the redhead could not help but smile in delight.
"Wow. Everyone seems to be excited as always~" she says with a soft giggle.
[ One Session Later ]
"Good work again today Himawari-san." says a fellow worker of the ponytailed redhead. The latter heaves a sigh of all the work she had to endure into a pleasurable relief.
"The little ones just never seem to run out of energy. I mean... Look at Tadao and Chito for instance. Those two siblings are the pure embodiment of everyone's excitement." The red haired girl said as she sat down by the cushioned seats
Her work-mate then gave her a bottle of fresh water. "Here. You need it if you want to take a break."
"Thank you, Aikawa-san." the girl smiled, in which the other returned with her own.
Momentarily. Her work-mate heads off to somewhere while she remains seated on the couch. Granted, she needed this sort of break for a while now. Just sitting down or mayhaps hanging out with a friend.
"KOMARI-CHAAAAAN!" speaking of friends. The red haired girl, flinched from her seat upon hearing that cheerful voice. And there's no doubt about who it was.
"Can you not run around like a child? Have some delicacy here, you might bother the children!" Accompanying her was a brown haired male. Staring at the seemingly outgoing bluish purple haired girl whom was running towards the redhead seated by the couch.
"Sora-chin? Jim-san?"
"Hey there, Kotori." The male raised his hand to greet. Meanwhile the other female just latched her arms on to her friend with utmost glee.
"I miss you so much!~"
"W- Wait..! Not so tight! I'm just on my break!" The red haired girl said. As much as she would love to return the hug. She just couldn't under circumstances.
"O- Oh..! Right! Sorry. Hehehe..." The blue haired girl chuckled apologetically. She then yelped when she received a bonk on the head. Courtesy to her male company. "Owww..!"
"You deserve that." The male said in a stoic tone. Sighing as he then shook his head.
"I see that you two seem to not have changed until now huh, Jim-san?" The red haired girl, whom the male refers to as Kotori, spoke in amusement whilst she stares at the two in front of her.
"If I want to, I would've just put a leash around her neck." The male named Jim stated. "But alas, I don't have that fetish over Tomori.".
"I could do a puppy cosplay for you?~" the blue haired girl named Tomori said cutely.
"No." He instantly rejected the idea.
Kotori here had to wonder how far did these two went with their relationship with each other. A part of her wanted to know. But at the same time, there's another part of her that thinks otherwise.
"Oh yeah, what are you two doing here exactly? You wanna hang out?" Kotori asked expectantly.
"Hm. You could say that." Jim stated. To which Kotori tilted her head in curiosity.
"Greetings. Himawari Kotori-san." The three of them turned their heads towards the source of that voice. To Kotori's surprise, she was bewildered by the presence of this certain woman.
Long brown hair. Scarlet red eyes. Wearing a neat and simple dress that fits for any occasion.
"O- Otonashi-san!?" Kotori exclaimed. It was Martha Otonashi. The band leader of the seven member band, Orchestars.
"I hope that I'm not ruining the moment?"
"No no. Not at all." Jim waved his hand.
"What are you doing here?" Kotori Himawari immediately stood up as an act of respect towards her. The German girl simply waved her off.
"No need to be so formal. We're all friends here, are we not?" Martha giggled. "I'm simply here to tell you about the event that we and the others are going to be planning in the future."
"We? You mean the other bands?" Kotori asked.
"That's right!" Tomori replied. "It'll be like our reunion!"
"Albeit, a big one to be precise..." Jim said.
Martha then continued, "While we still wait for Himekawa's recovery. She herself suggested for this event to happen. With all of us being present in it as a way to re-live the days where we all performed together as one during the Future Star Fes."
"Raurin even posted about this online. Everyone who read the post were so hyped about it that it became trending within just a few days!" Tomori said
"It was supposed to be kept as a secret at first... but yeah... If you give the news to Ritsuko-san, she wouldn't shut up about it to the point that she'll post it on twitter." Jim added, letting out a sigh.
"It's nothing to worry about, Saotomi-kun." Martha assured the male. "With this, people will sure be anticipating such a big event planned by the leader of Wisteria. And this is without a doubt to be the biggest concert of ours within this generation."
While this is all good news to hear on Kotori's part. However. She grew a little worried when Martha stated that this concert will involve all of them.
"U- Um... Otonashi-san... when you mean all of us. Does this include..."
"Yes. I mean all four of you." Martha affirmed. The three of them showed looks of uncertainty, which Martha never fails to notice. "I know that there has been an... Issue, going on within your group weeks after Tsurumaki Ichika's passing."
"I'm not someone who would force you to do something you don't like. But as a friend, and a close associate. I will not stand to see you all in this sort of ordeal."
"But, Martha-san. I keep telling you that—"
"That's not a good excuse. Yozora Tomori-san." Martha cuts her off. "You won't get anywhere if you just force it without actually understanding each other."
"That's what I keep telling you..." Jim mumbled. Glad to actually hear these words coming from Martha herself.
Martha stood there with patience. Calm and solemn as she stared at the group before her. "Whether if you want to take part in this concert or not. My only wish for you is to reconcile. That's it."
"We're not even sure where to start. Actually..." Jim stated whilst pondering.
"You can take your time." Martha said. "Even when Himekawa is fully recovered. We will still wait for you."
"Un✩6 is the center of our Era after all." She added with a genuine smile on her face. Even she herself is aware of her own band's stature. Despite being rather popular than the others. Un✩6 were still the stars that captured everyone's heart.
"Now that I have informed you about this. I hope say that this will be passed to the others as well." Martha says. Giving them looks of confirmation in which the three of them nodded in understanding.
"We will give this message to Sumii-chan as well if we can." Kotori says.
"Which may take a while considering how busy she is outside of Japan..." Jim added.
"And we're sure she won't say a no to this." Tomori said with optimism.
"Good." The German leader of OrcheStars acknowledged them with a genuine smile on her face. "Despite all. It's not nice to see you guys incomplete, you know?" With the words being said by the woman before them.
They know what they needed to do. But it may take some time to do so as... the thing they are dealing with right now,
Is to bring back their lost star.
[ Prologue End ]
A / N:
So yeah, remember when I said that I will only continue this book when I finish the first season of my Love live story? And then vice versa?
Well, I decided that I'll only be posting the prologues instead. And will continue when I finish writing the current season of the book that I am currently working on.
Also, I decided to do this because... Ideas... Just popped into my brain out of nowhere when I looked back into this book.
Anyways. What are your thoughts? You have any questions? Ask right away and I will answer them with the best of my abilities!
That's all.
Peace.
