It was a cold autumn dusk. That was the night where I first met her. Everything's doing fine, the group performance, the skit, I enjoyed doing those. But there's one thing I'm worried about, Juon-bu. Since I was a child, I fear a lot of things, but I keep it subtly. What I fear the most is going into the unknown and I find metal music as something unknown to me. It was like a deep cave which you can't see its destination. It was new to me, the beat, the rhythm, I don't have any idea what's going on. The fans of the music seem to be weird males who are ready to devour everything in you, your flesh, your soul, everything. I haven't told our manager Koba-san about this. I am really afraid that he might be offended.
"Airin, have you heard that Su-san created a rather unusual club at school?" Ayaka, the emcee, said.
"Yah! I heard about that. I know it's some kind of music club but what kind of music do they play?" Airi, the other emcee, responded.
"From what I learned from research, Su-san wants to try some different kind of music for a change. Instead of making a Keion (Light Music) Club, she created the Juon (Heavy Music) Club which plays heavy music or heavy metal."
"That's interesting. I think we should learn about that kind of music."
"Yes! So Fukei-sans, help me welcome, the Juon-bu!"
The audience clapped after their introduction. Of course I knew that was some kind of cheer to make us do our best but its effect is rather different on me. My heart beat faster which made me feel like I'm going to die. The fictional story of the emcees makes it worst. I should convince the fans that Juon-bu is my idea and not anyone else. I was stiff, and I couldn't move myself towards the stage until...
"Don't worry, everything will be absolutely alright" a feminine voice whispered at me.
I didn't know who or where that voice did come from. I've never heard of her but she's familiar. A ghost? But I wasn't scared at all? In fact, I became confident. I moved myself towards the stage and sing and dance the way I should do, but this is different. It's like I'm watching a cool girl performing with this kind of music. She's enjoying it and felt neither shame nor fear that she might get into any mistakes. She is so professional and I like this kind of girl. I know it wasn't me. No, this girl is indeed not me.
After the show, I looked at my hand mirror and saw a girl with a blissful face. She was smiling at me. I didn't smile back. She is my reflection yet she reflected a rather different image of me.
"Tell me, who are you?"
"I am SU-METAL, your guardian angel."
