Miracle 10: The Beginning

Aika

So as the one who created this new idol group which will be the starting point of where I'll gain my confidence.

I immediately had asked for the two musical geniuses to compose a song that we can all sing while I make up the dance steps. It's a definite struggle but I know that we can handle it.

To start things off, I began to use most of my free time to figure some dance moves that I could use. I've watched many dance routines and performances and try to make simpler versions so that I can make it look good and at the same time, making it easier for my two new members to pick up.

Definitely something that only I can do. I've become the leader and the one who created this group. I want to increase my confidence and go against the K-I group who has participated in the LLAFC also the did the opening act for the finals in the LLAFC... and alongside with the U's nonetheless! A great feat for a starting idol group! I also heard from the fans here in the school that they started as a two man group, then got their third member to perform in the same school. What humble beginnings, I want to be able to bring myself up like their group.

It will be hard on us when we'll be debuting with our own original song, unlike how K-I started where they used the U's songs when they were purely going to be an appreciation club at first.

But I know that I can succeed if I'm able to make this idol group a success.

Kotone

This isn't what it look like. I know I'm better than this. Why did I accept that rude girl's request?

Sigh... I got myself into another mess like this.

I remember that I went to the music room since I starved to play a piano every single day. Despite having a piano at my own home, I was never satisfied with just that. I wanted more, I wanted to play so much that it got into my first mess.

~Flashback~

I remember going to the music room because it was my music period. I was stuck with having to sing like the others in a choir because it was given to us by our teacher but after I did finish my last period, I waited for the rest to leave the room so that I could play the grand piano that's here.

Once I was alone, I began to play classical songs on the piano as if I were the one composing them myself

I played without even looking at the keys, my eyes closed to savor every note that comes out of the lovely instrument. On that note, I had filled the entire room with such an eloquent melody. It was quite the event.

As soon as I finished my song, the door suddenly opened for me to find a girl applauding me "That was a great performance! I definitely want you to join the choir club!"

~Flashback end~

Then I had the other event of meeting Lucine-chan then the rude girl named Aika.

I guess I'm given many different opportunities that I'm being tested on how I handle them.

Lucine

I can't believe I'm getting this far in my life right now. I knew I always had an affinity for singing but never in my life had I been through a series of events that involved in my singing, especially around strangers

I've always been looked after by the maids and butlers in my house, my own personal maid lets me do anything I normally wanted. She was always encouraging me to sing ever since I had invested myself in it. She's probably the most important person in life, next to my parents who took care of me when I was a baby

She is my coach, my motivator and closest person to family. I heard before that she, herself was always interested in singing.

I was taught by her in many different ways. Learning many different ways to sing.

I was taught secretly because my father is especially strict with status, so it would be very shameful if I learned from a maid in my house, instead I should learn from a professional teacher but I've always wanted to learn from her because she makes singing very fun.

Now, I'll be putting all that I learned from her into this idol performance that me, Kotone-chan, Aika-chan will be doing this coming Friday afternoon right after classes.

I ought to listen to some idol songs and learn how to sing them especially. I ought to ask my maid to help teach me.

Performance Day at the Courtyard

I've gotten permission to do this activity that we are going to perform and debut as the new idol group in our school making it clear that we are rivals against the K-I group.

This is where we can make our stand and rise!

"Um... Goodluck..." Lucine plays with her thumbs as she nervously looks at both of her members.

"Goodluck to all of us, I don't want myself to become an embarrassment. I know the moves are easy but could you at least tone down your dancing to our level?" Kotone stared directly at Aika which caused her to sweat a bit from Kotone's harsh gaze.

"Don't be like that, we can do it if we have the best instrument player, singer and dancer all together. We can definitely show that we are the greatest thing that has ever happened in the school, beating the K-I group!" Aika retaliates so that she wouldn't be shown as a nervous person

"I hope that is the case otherwise it will be such an embarrassment that I even joined your bandwagon"

Both of them stare each other down, leaving Lucine to frantically panic about the current situation.

"U-um... everyone... I think we... should start now..." Lucine said it quietly which caused the two to stop their fight and look at Lucine who ended up pointing across them.

They slowly turned to see who was there, they were surprised that there is only one person standing right in front of their stage

None other than the vice-student council president, Fuse Saki.

"I'm interested to see your performance." Saki said with a smile

"I don't perform for just one person." Kotone said in a rude manner which caused the two to stare at Kotone with disbelief and fear because she went against the vice-student council.

"It's over... Now that Kotone-san did that. I can't look Saki-san in the eye anymore." Aika looks down in defeat.

"Ok, how about this? I perform first then you perform next?" Saki tried to propose a deal with Kotone

"I don't agree, I'll only play for a crowd."

"Ok... I'll bring a crowd then. Will you keep your promise?"

Kotone's eyes were wide open, in complete disbelief that she could do that but she wanted to confirm something before doing all this. "You can't just gather a crowd by calling them regularly, show me your idol appeal." Her eyes looked at Saki with high expectations

"So, I'll do it alone then?" Saki smiled and tilts her head cutely

Kotone was taken aback "She's going to do it alone?! That's insane!"

Saki smiled seeing her reaction "I can do it, don't worry. So can I listen to your original song? I'll perform it. You three can join me at anytime."

The new idol group trio were shocked

"She's going to listen to and perform our song without given practice?!" Lucine thought

"Impossible! She can't think up of dance steps easily!" Aika thought

"She's just putting a brave face, no way she can do this" Kotone doubted her abilities despite Saki having experience in the LLAFC.

Saki finished listening to the song once and looks towards the trio "This is a nice song! Who composed it?" She seemed genuinely happy and Kotone hesitantly raised her hand "Oh you did? That's great! Well, I'll be able to perform it now. Please play the song in 5 minutes" Saki asked them as she walked onto the center of the stage and closed her eyes

The three have doubts about Saki's ability to do something so on the spot. But they have to watch regardless on what she will do.

The music began to play, though it was just a piano only composition. It sounded mellow and not completely pop which would not attract people that much since idols usually perform catchy songs but with Saki, who agreed to this has to deal with such a song, she has no choice.

Saki sang the song and danced a bit to fit the songs mellow tone. What surprises the trio was that she's really doing it. They didn't know that she would memorize it all in one complete go. To top it all off, a crowd is gathering to watch Saki's performance.

Everyone, including the trio were amazed at Saki's performance but because Kotone didn't want to feel like a loser she jumped in after the first verse and sang alongside with her.

Eventually, Aika and Lucine joined in once the song hit the climatic part of the song and sang giving such a performance for everyone to enjoy.

After the performance, the audience applauded the performers as Saki turned to face the trio

"I have a proposition for those of you who want to be idols."

The budding trio looks at not their vice-student council president but as Saki, the leader of the K-I idol group

"Do you want to join K-I?"

As expected of my upperclassman. She's really good

"Yes! We'll join K-I!" Aika said happily

There's nothing we can't do if she's leading us.
