Chapter 60
Seeing the message sent by Takamine Mineo, Kosaka Honoka suddenly became incredibly excited!
"That's right! There's still Umi-chan! Why didn't I think of that!?"
In that moment, Honoka completely forgot she was still in the middle of a lesson.
Her loud shout caused everyone in the classroom to immediately turn their heads toward her.
Umi's beautiful eyes also held a hint of confusion. She realized that Honoka had just shouted her name!
The young homeroom teacher stood at the podium, adjusted her glasses, and said calmly:
"Kousaka-san seems to be in a very good mood... In that case, please answer the question I just asked!"
"I'm sorry, Sensei! I... I... was daydreaming!"
Even though she was scolded by her teacher, Honoka's heart remained full of joy. As soon as class ended, she immediately dashed over to Umi.
"Umi-chan, come with me for a second! And Kotori-chan, you come too!"
"Regarding the song problem, I've already found the solution!"
After calling Minami Kotori and Umi to the rooftop, Honoka threw her arm around Umi's shoulders excitedly and said:
"Mineo-oniichan just replied to my message!"
"He gave me a very, very good suggestion!"
"However, whether this can happen or not all depends on you, Umi-chan..."
Seeing Honoka's glowing face, for some reason, Umi suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"I can't write lyrics or compose music, there's no point relying on me..."
"I know you can't write lyrics or compose music, but you can write poetry! I remember you wrote lots of poems back in middle school! Mineo-oniichan said that by adapting your poems correctly, they could definitely become great song lyrics!!"
"Absolutely not!!!"
Honoka's words sent Umi's feelings into a total mess!
"Eh? Why not? Umi-chan, back then you gave us those poems to read, and Kotori and I thought your writing was amazing! If it's you, you can definitely adapt those poems into lyrics!"
"I refuse! I really don't want to do that!"
Umi looked at Honoka and Kotori nervously.
"That... that kind of thing... every time I look back on it, I feel so embarrassed! So I really don't want to... I don't want to..."
Before Umi could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt something flash before her eyes!
Honoka and Kotori had leaned their faces right up to hers.
Four teary eyes were staring at her with a pitiful, begging expression!
"Umi-chan!!!!"
Honoka's voice trailed off, becoming incredibly sweet and pleading. She grabbed Umi's arm and shook it gently while acting spoiled.
"Didn't we promise to work hard together? I'm begging you..."
"By the way, Mineo-oniichan also said your poetry is amazing! He also believes that if it's you, you can definitely create the best work!"
Kotori also immediately grabbed Umi's other arm and gave it a soft shake.
"That's right, Umi. I also believe that if it's you, there won't be any problem! So... please..."
Umi usually wasn't afraid of anything, but she was completely defenseless against the charms and cuteness of her two best friends!
Being stared at with such "tragic" faces, Umi had no choice!
After taking a deep breath, Umi relaxed her tense body.
She looked up, glancing at Honoka and Kotori.
"Alright. Supposing I'm willing to turn those poems into lyrics... what about the music composition!?"
"Without a proper musical arrangement, are we just going to go up on stage and do a poetry reading?"
"You're right! We can't do it without music either. We have to think of a way to find someone who can compose a song to help us!"
Honoka muttered softly, then began to think about who in the school was skilled at music composition.
At that moment, Minami Kotori cutely raised one small hand and spoke in a gentle voice:
"Um... didn't we see a first-year student in the music room yesterday who was very good at singing and playing the piano?"
"Her piano playing was so good; she should be able to compose music for the lyrics too..."
Hearing Minami Kotori's words, Honoka's eyes lit up.
But before she could speak, Umi's voice rang out again:
"I remember Honoka already went to talk to that girl yesterday. She isn't interested in being a School Idol at all. Even if we ask her to help compose, she likely won't agree!"
After hearing Umi's point, Honoka didn't say much more; she immediately pulled out her phone and sent a message to Mineo.
"Mineo-oniichan! Umi-chan has agreed to change the poems she wrote into lyrics!"
"But the composition problem still isn't solved. Yesterday I met a first-year student who is very good at playing the piano in the music room. I even gave her an invitation, but she rejected me! Is there any way for me to convince her? Or should I try asking someone else?"
