Diana received a call from her cell phone while she was in her room studying. She looked at it and saw that it was Andrew Hanbridge, an acquaintance of hers. She answered the phone.

"Good evening, Andrew" Diana said

"Good evening, Diana. Sorry to call you this late but it's urgent" Andrew said

"What is it?" Diana asked

"The party tomorrow may have to be cancelled" Andrew said

"Why is that?" Diana asked

"Well, one of our singers fell ill and we don't have enough time to find another one in time. I was actually hoping if you knew someone who could fill in" Andrew said

Diana didn't know anyone personally who could act as a replacement. Well almost no one, there was one person that she thought of that would be the perfect replacement.

"I do know someone who could act as a replacement" Diana said

"You do?" Andrew said

"But it may take some time to convince her to do it. She's actually a student a Luna Nova" Diana said

"Do your best Diana, we really need a singer for the party tomorrow night" Andrew said

"I'll see what I can do" Diana said

"Thank you, Diana" Andrew said

"No problem, good night" Diana said

"Alright, good night" Andrew said

Diana hung up and sighed. She knew that it would take a lot of convincing to persuade Akko to agree to be the singer of the party.

Early in the morning, Diana saw that Akko was done with her breakfast and seeing that there was still plenty of time before class started she made the decision to approach her.

"Akko" Diana said

"Hi, Diana" Akko said

"Can I talk to you alone for a moment please?" Diana asked

"Sure I guess" Akko said

The two girls went off to Akko's dorm room since it was closer.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Akko asked

Diana then explained the situation to her.

"So you need a singer to take the place of the one who can't make it?" Akko asked

Diana nodded.

"Yes, I can't think of anyone else besides you" Diana said

"Diana, I don't sing anymore" Akko said

"I understand that, I'm not asking you to singer at every event. I just need you for this one" Diana said

"You should find someone else. I'm sure you can find someone in time" Akko said

"We don't have time to find another singer in time. The event will be cancelled if we don't have one" Diana said

"I hate singing now. There's no way I'm singing at this event" Akko said

"I don't believe that you hate singing" Diana said

"What makes you say that?" Akko said

"Back the cave all of us heard your singing voice. It was so beautiful. If you hated singing so much then you wouldn't have used it" Diana said

"I only did that to save us from the bats" Diana said

"It was still a beautiful song" Diana said

"Find someone else" Akko said

"Why are you so reluctant to sing?" Diana said

Akko just sighed.

"Don't you remember what I said before? I said that the work was overwhelming and I couldn't take it anymore" Akko said

"I do remember you saying that. I don't understand why that would cause to run away. Some work can be overwhelming but you just need to push forward" Diana said

"You really don't understand at all" Akko said

"Then please explain the situation so I can understand" Diana said

"Japan has an overworking issue. Many people work long hours from the early morning to the late evening. People are being overworked to the point of becoming sick. Some have any died. Some of the jobs in Japan are considered more important than your own health. That's what was happening to me. My health was getting weaker and weaker because of a lack of nutrition and sleep. I tried asking them to let me take break but they ignored my plea. I tried to quit but they wouldn't let me do that either. I remembered about Chariot and researched her. I saw that she was from Luna Nova. I then thought that this was my chance to escape the life that I've been living. I enrolled into Luna Nova and bought a plane ticket. I managed to make it to the airport, but my parents caught me. I managed to get away and then I arrived here" Akko said

Diana was silent for a moment. A country that puts work above their health. It was hard to believe but she believed that Akko was telling the truth.

"There's also the fact the if I sing at your party I could be found out. I need to remain hidden" Akko said

"I'm sorry to hear that. But you can trust me when I say that I won't let anything bad happen to you" Diana said

"Really?" Akko asked

"I promise" Diana said

Akko sighed

"Fine, I'll do it" Akko said

"Thank you, Akko" Diana said

"Sure" Akko said

They went to the mansion where the party would be. Akko helped set up some of the decorations.

They wanted to hear Akko's voice and she agreed and sung the song that she sang the other day.

Watashitachi no sekai wa - mahou wo kakerarete

Ai suru to kime kisae - namida ni fuujirareteru

Boy futari de jumon wo sagashi ni ikou

Kinjirare ta yume wo - kanaerareru kuni he

Dare ni mo naisho de - ashita machi awaseshiyou.

Itsuka kotori wo ume ta - yoake no mieru oka de

Tsumetai asamoya - kimi to te wo tsunaidara

Hikaru michi no fuuin ga tokeru yo

Hateshinaku

Kirawa retakunaikara - kokoro wokakushiteta

Warai kaketekuretane - hontoni ureshikatta

Boy watashi ni yuuki woataetehoshii

Kinoumadeno subete - zero nidekiru chikara

Dare nimo naishode - sotto kuchiduke shiyou

Itsuka yoma nakunatta - furui ehon no youni

Asatsuyu ichimen - kaze gakira mekasetara

Hikaru michi wa massuguni tsuduku yo

Dokomademo

Callin' you

Kanashi i yoru ha kimi no namae wo tonae runo

Callin' you

Sore wa sekai no kusari wohodoku jumon nano

Dare nimonaishode- ashita machiawase shiyou

Itsukaminna tabidatsu - mirai no mie ru oka de

Tsume tai asa moya kimi to aru kidashitara

Hikaru michi wa massuguni tsuduku yo

Dokomademo

Diana still loved hearing that song. It was like a lullaby. She loved that song and it was one of her favorite songs to listen to. She couldn't wait to hear the singing that Akko would be doing tonight.
