With You, I Can Sing For Tomorrow ch3-3

It's great that I got them back~
Both my wallet and my pass.
...It's not great.

Ah, because the station attendant got mad at us?
It's fine. It was an emergency, after all.
Not that.

This only happened because of me.
You're the one who caught him in the end, Terada-san.

You saying that again~?

I-I mean...
Don't "I mean" me.

It was your loud voice that gave me the buff I needed.
It spurred the others into action too.
As someone who recognises your efforts,
it's pretty rude when you keep putting yourself down like that.
...

Okay then. If you really feel bad about it, listen to a request of mine.
Eh?

...Depends what it is.
Why you gotta be like that, baby?

I get the feeling it's nothing good.
"Be in the culture festival~"
You can at least hear me out, right?

...Guess I've got no choice.
What is it?

I want you to write some lyrics.

I love your real words.
I want to place your emotions and feelings
that you're always carrying onto my song.

Ah, lemme guess. You thought I was gonna ask about the culture festival, didn't you?
That's already decided.
No, why though...?

...
"Culture festivals are boring anyway"

"so let's smash this one together."

Terada-san...?

Don'tcha think?
E-Eeh~?

That surprised me.

For just a moment,
Terada-san looked really mature.

She had a look of nostalgia and affection in her eyes.
What was that? A line ripped out of a movie?
A movie... Yeah, maybe.

So?
How about it?

Hah~...

Fine.

I'll do the culture festival and the lyrics.

Up until now, I've been through a lot because of your proposals, Terada-san,
but it wasn't all just frustration it left me with.

To be honest, I felt really refreshed.
I get the feeling it'll be really fun if I do it with you.

This has nothing to do with making things even.
I'm doing it because I want to.
I'll do it.

So let me repay you for today in a different way.
Eh? You don't have to.
It's fine. It's my first time doing something like this.
I can buy you a coffee or ice-cream or something.
Let's see...

Call me Hinata.

...We're not close enough to call each other by our first names.
That so?

How about as my savior then?
Why something heavy like that?
Bandmates?
I don't think we're quite "mates" yet.

Well, I guess we don't really feel like friends.
It's not like I wanna be friends with you either, Yuzuki.
...

But it'd be nice if we could understand other as more than just friends.

What does that mean...?
Music isn't something that can be made
without understanding each other's hearts, after all.

So first off,

p10

tell me your contact details.

I wanna talk about a bunch of things
as well as see your lyrics, Yuzuki.

p11

...Sure.
