With the distractions and misunderstandings behind them, Morfonica refocused their efforts on practicing for the upcoming concert. Each member poured their heart and soul into perfecting their performances, determined to deliver an unforgettable show for their fans.
The sound of instruments filled the rehearsal room as they ran through their setlist, fine-tuning each note and lyric until they resonated perfectly.
Mashiro's vocals soared above the melodic strains of Nanami's guitar, Futaba's powerful drumming driving the rhythm forward, while Nanami's steady bass provided a strong foundation. And, of course, Rui's masterful violin added an ethereal touch to the ensemble.
As they practiced, I watched from the sidelines, impressed by their dedication and talent.
Despite the challenges they faced, they remained united in their passion for music, each member contributing their unique skills to create something truly special.
The morning sunlight streamed through the windows of CirCLE Livehouse as Marina-san and I worked tirelessly to prepare for Morfonica's concert.
"Looks like today's the day," I remarked, wiping sweat from my forehead as I lugged a heavy box across the room.
"Indeed it is, Part-timer-kun," Marina-san replied with a smile, her hands busy arranging posters and flyers. "We've got a lot to do before the concert starts."
I glanced at the stack of posters and flyers she was sorting through. "Are these for Morfonica?"
Marina-san nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, they are! Would you mind taking some of the flyers outside and handing them out?"
"Of course," I said with a nod, eager to help spread the word about the concert.
"Thank you, Part-timer-kun! Your help is greatly appreciated," Marina-san said gratefully, her eyes sparkling with appreciation.
I grabbed a stack of flyers and headed outside, ready to promote Morfonica's concert to anyone who would listen.
I remember this...?
As I passed out flyers under the scorching February sun, I couldn't help but feel the weight of the task bearing down on me.
Sweat beaded on my forehead, making the flyers in my grasp slightly damp. The relentless heat made me long for a cool breeze or even just a sip of water.
"Geez, where's a breeze when you need one?" I muttered to myself, feeling the intensity of the sun's rays.
Seeking refuge from the heat, I crouched down beneath the shade of an electric pole, hoping for some relief. But even there, the sun's heat seemed unrelenting, and I found myself yearning for a drink to quench my thirst.
Just then, a soft voice broke through my thoughts, drawing my attention. I looked up to see a figure standing before me.
"A-Ah, thank you, angel," I said, overwhelmed by her kindness.
"A-Angel?" She seemed taken aback. "I-I see you're still calling me an angel... Isn't that a bit much?"
S-Sorry," I stammered, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Do angels have names?"
"You already knew my name though!?"
"I'm just kidding around, Oh, I'm villager A, By the way!"
"Eh?!"
As I finished off the bottle of water in one gulp, I couldn't help but notice the smile that graced Mashiro's lips.
"I see that you still remember our first encounter here," I remarked, returning her smile.
"Yeah," Mashiro replied softly, her gaze wandering over the familiar surroundings.
We shared a moment of quiet contemplation, the memories of our previous meeting lingering in the air between us. Eventually, I broke the silence, "Kurata-san," I began, meeting her gaze with sincerity.
"Yes, Nakasone-san?" Mashiro responded, her eyes bright with anticipation.
"Good luck," I said, offering her a reassuring smile.
Mashiro's smile widened, and she nodded in appreciation. "Yeah, Thank you..."
With a nod of my own, I acknowledged her gratitude. "Now then, I should get back to work and try to attract as many audience members as possible."
"Hehehe~ Thank you, Nakasone-san! Please don't overdo it!" Mashiro said, her tone filled with warmth and concern.
"I won't."
And just like I returned to my job and then a few hours later that night came.
As I returned to CirCLe after distributing the flyers, my eyes widened at the sight before me. A long line of people snaked its way from the entrance.
"Uwah... That's a lot of people," I muttered to myself in astonishment.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mingled with nervousness. The anticipation of the upcoming concert buzzed in the air, palpable even from outside the venue.
Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I made my way through the bustling crowd, weaving between excited chatter and laughter.
"I heard it's a cover song!"
"Oh?! Cover song!? I guess that's going to be challenging for the violinist."
"Part-timer-kun! Help me here!" Marina's voice cut through the din of the crowd, calling for assistance.
I hurried over to her side, weaving through the bustling throngs of concert-goers to reach her.
"What do you need, Marina-san?" I asked, ready to lend a hand.
"We need to keep this line moving smoothly," she explained, gesturing toward the entrance. "I'll handle the tickets, but I need you to help direct people to the right entrances and answer any questions they might have."
"Got it," I nodded, falling into step beside her as we began to coordinate the flow of people entering the venue.
As the line slowly shuffled forward, I found myself fielding questions from excited fans, pointing them toward the right entrances, and ensuring that everyone was welcomed warmly to the concert.
The lights dimmed, casting a hush over the crowd as anticipation hung in the air like a tangible presence.
The members of Morfonica stood poised on stage, their instruments at the ready, their expressions a mix of nervousness and excitement.
A spotlight illuminated Mashiro, the lead vocalist, as she stepped forward, her eyes sparkling with determination.
With a deep breath, she raised the microphone to her lips, her voice ringing out clear and strong as she began to sing.
The melody swelled around her, filling the room with its power and grace, and soon the other members joined in, their harmonies blending seamlessly together. The music soared, carrying the audience along on a journey of sound and emotion.
As the concert progressed, the energy in the room became electric, the audience cheering and singing along to every song.
Each member of Morfonica gave it their all, pouring their hearts and souls into their performance, and the crowd responded in kind, their enthusiasm palpable in the air.
And then, as the final notes faded away, the room erupted into applause, the audience cheering and clapping with fervor. Morfonica stood on stage, their chests heaving with exertion, their faces flushed with the thrill of the performance.
"Thank you, everyone!" Touko called out, her voice filled with gratitude. "We couldn't have done it without you!"
The crowd cheered even louder, their voices echoing through the venue as Morfonica took their final bows, their smiles radiant with joy and satisfaction.
As I watched from the sidelines, a sense of pride swelled within me. This was what it was all about—the magic of music bringing people together, creating moments of pure, unbridled joy.
And as the concert drew to a close, I knew that this night would be one that none of us would ever forget.
