The Fate we Choose (Inazuma Eleven GO/CS/Galaxy)

Chapter 8 Shirabe's Problems

Shirabe: "I'd love to be friends with you... Mirai."

"...Okay!"

The two of them smiled.

Shirabe POV

Mirai: "Bye Shirabe!"

"Bye!"

Cat: "Meow!"

I petted the cat.

"It's too bad...."

I started walking home.

"Sorry Mirai."

...But I can't stay as your friend.

I put the cat down.

"Hurry on now."

Cat: "Meow?"

"...Leave before you get mixed up in this mess."

Then I went home. I open the door and then closed it.

"... Names are important huh."

*Flashback*

Young Shirabe: Why did you name me Shirabe, Mom?

Mom: Hm? Well you want to know Shirabe?

Young Shirabe: Mhm!

Mom: Shirabe, my little Shirabe. Means many things in music.

Young Shirabe: In music?

Mom: Yup. You know I love music right?

Young Shirabe: Yeah! That's why you work with Music right?

Mom: You remembered that?

Young Shirabe: Hehe!

Mom: I see. Yeah, I love music just as I love your Dad.

Young Shirabe: Do you love music or Dad more?

Mom: We're getting off topic.

Young Shirabe: So you love music more?

Mom: Silly Shirabe. I obviously love your Dad way more. Anyway, Shirabe means many things. The first four that come up are Tone, Note, Tune, and Melody.

Young Shirabe: It really does have many meanings!

Mom: Yup. I named you Shirabe because all of those meanings, are important in a song.

Young Shirabe: Important?

Mom: Not just because they're important. I also want you to find your own.

Young Shirabe: My own?

Mom: The world is fulled with many sounds, especially here.

Mom put my hand on her chest. I could hear her heart beat.

Young Shirabe: Thump Thump.

Mom: Hehe, yup.

Mom put her forehead to mines.

Mom: Music is a way for me to express how I feel sometimes. I'm not good with words, though your Dad disagrees with that.

Young Shirabe: It's true though.

Mom: Eh? Are you siding with your Dad?

Young Shirabe: Yeah! Plus Mom...

Mom: Hm?
