With You, I Can Sing For Tomorrow ch7-1: My Prayer (part 1)

Yuzuki.

This time for sure, I'll save you.
It's something I have to do.

But what should I do?
Hmm~...
Yuzuki doesn't know me yet...
How did it go last time again?

That's right.
Last time, Yuzuki was singing in this room...

Found you!! I'm here to save you!!

No, no, no, no.
That just made her overly cautious of me last time.

Even if I had to force it, I got her to get away from that so-called "friend" of hers
and broke up with that shitty boyfriend,
but the reality is that it didn't result in a happy end.
I was too forceful and left her with some resentment,
resulting in things returning to the way they originally happened.

I need to be more careful this time.

Being direct is one of my faults.
I should investigate from a distance and come up with a plan.

Yuzuki's singing voice... She sounds so fragile and lonely.

Having become an adult, I've tasted my fair share of music.
I've met many singers with voices as adorable as Yuzuki's,
and plenty who can sing better than her.

But her singing voice at this time holds both beauty and loneliness.
Her voice gave me comfort
while also making me want to comfort it in return.

My music has always been in a shape of a prayer for her.

I'll do it.

Without getting in her way,
without making any waves,
I'll work from the shadows to keep Yuzuki away from the bad people.

But how do I do that?
Hm...?

This'll work...! I'll start by going inside this box and sneaking in!

Mikan

Uwah!
It didn't work!!

Mikan

There she is!

Okay, time for some sneaky eavesdropping...
So like, my papa's such a moron.
When you think of summer vacations, you think of Hawaii, but he went and got tickets to South France.

Keh.
What kind of flex is that?

Duct tape

I won't be found out this way.
Fufufu...
Let the infiltration commence!!

And then~

Terada~
No spacing out~

Hmm~

This is exhausting!

Sneaking around doesn't suit my style at all!
Uwaaaah!

But I gotta endure... Endure it, Hinata!
Don't forget how badly you screwed up last time...
Eh~ Another date with Yuzuki?

I can't help it.
Eh~? But I've been lonely too~

p10

Fine. I'll meet up with you in the evening, Aimi.
Yay♪ 5:30 at the station then.
No running late. I'll get so jealous that I'll tell Yuzuki everything.
Oh...?

Hold back Yuzuki and Kengo until 5
Aimi gets mad and barges in
Yuzuki finds out about the cheating
Goodbye frenemy girl and shitty boyfriend
This is it!!

Okay. Since it's come to this...
Ah! Look out!

Gweh!

p11

S-Sorry. We didn't notice you there...
Geh. It's Terada-san...
It's fine、it's fine~
I'm good...
Eh~ You did that on purpose, didn't you?

Bullying the new kid~
That's not...

Huh? Weren't you acting all big and badmouthing behind her back
about how she's a returnee who won the parent lottery?
That's...

Gyahaha
Sorry, Terada-san. Girls can be so gloomy~

p12

Gwah!

Oh shut up.
It's not really badmouthing if I'm not there to hear it.

Besides, if you're doing that on purpose,
you should aim for the vitals, right?

p13

Th-Thank you~
Eh? It's fine... They just ticked me off, is all.

We've never really talked, but you're amazing, Terada-san.
Oh crap. Have I been standing out...?

That girl...

So her name's Terada-san, huh.

Warning
