Kinako/Natsumi

Vitality

A dejected sigh escapes her lips as she stares at the blank notebook resting on the table in front of her, before she lets out a whine and falls backwards to rest against one of the beds in the room.

Kinako was supposed to write a song while Kanon-senpai was out running some errands, but instead of letting the ink of her pen flow through the empty pages, she can't help but stare at them completely clueless about what to write instead.

Another sigh escapes her lips, before the brunette rises from the cushion on the floor that she's sat on to stand in the middle of the room, taking a deep breath, before she closes her eyes and stands on one leg.

She stays like that for several minutes hoping inspiration finally hits her, but she finds her mind still being completely in blank.

Without much luck, Kinako decides to try another pose, stretching as she inhales deeply and lets her mind and body flow, listening closely to the wonderful melody Ren and Mei are creating with the piano in the adjacent room, before Chisato's voice counting down outside, followed by the voices of Sumire and Keke bickering over the design of their next costumes disturb such a peaceful melody and Kinako's peace.

With another whine and a heavy sigh, Kinako gives up, looking at the blank notebook one last time, before she decides to get out of the room to clear her mind.

On her way downstairs, she can't help but stop in the middle of the long hallway to listen to Ren's and Mei's melody for a little longer, enjoying the peaceful rhythm as they stop from time to time to add new parts to it.

A soft smile spreads across her lips as she continues and stops at the next room to watch Sumire and Keke quarrelling through a small interstice in the door and meanwhile they furiously draw on a paper which complements will suit their costumes better.

Kinako can't help but chuckle at the two of them always bickering, before she keeps walking to finally go downstairs, seeing a pink blonde haired girl walking around the large common room of her family's inn while holding her pink phone in the best angle possible to then smile widely at it.

- Oninatsu! I'm here to make sure your heart gets its fill of oni! I'm Natsuki Onizuka and today I'm going to show you the inn we're staying in…

Kinako hears the girl saying vigorously as she begins to move around the inn, her eyes following her everywhere she goes, noticing the wide and happy smile playing on Natsumi's lips as she narrates and shows with total spontaneity and self-confidence the rooms of the main floor.

She can't help but watch her captivated by her vitality and how hard she works to get them more followers.

- And that's everything for today! If you liked the video, subscribe!

She then hears Natsumi ending her recording, before her pink eyes meet hers and lets out a yelp, almost dropping her precious phone.

- S-sorry! I-I didn't mean to scare you! I was just coming to get some water and didn't want to interrupt you.

Kinako apologizes as she goes for some water, seeing Natsumi dismissing her with her hand downplaying it.

- At least you didn't make me retake it as other times.

Natsumi says playfully, making Kinako blush as she remembers the first times they met and she was the reason of why the pink blonde haired girl had to retake her videos.

Kinako can only give her an apologetic smile, sipping on her water, before she feels the other girl running her eyes over her.

- So? How's the songwriting going? – Natsumi asks curious, making Kinako smile timidly.

- I… huh have some troubles writing the... song… – Kinako trails awkwardly, seeing Natsumi arching an eyebrow at her ready to say something, before the brunette continues – but I think I have an idea now! Thank you, Natsumi-chan!

- I… you're welcome?

Kinako exclaims with a beaming smile, giggling as she hears the puzzlement in Natsumi's voice, before she gives a quick hug to the pink blonde haired girl, leaving her even more bewildered than before in the middle of the common room as the brunette runs upstairs to begin filling the notebook's pages with a song with such vitality as the pink blonde haired girl.
