[Hurry and upload already.]
When half of the summer break has passed already, a LIME message from my childhood friend Umine Konoha came.
By the way, she already sent over 99 messages.
I was surprised.
When I woke up in the morning my phone was blowing up with 99+ message notifications.
I don't really chat that much, so I thought it was broken at first.
And the message was all the same as what was mentioned before.
There were 99+ of the same message.
Rather than the app, it was Konoha that was broken.
I immediately called her.
It was because writing a message would be more bothersome.
"Um… At the very least I'm slowly working on it."
"Slow."
"No, isn't it impossible?"
The song [Blue Elfin] that I posted under the name [Hartman] has thankfully reached 1.5 million views.
I also have 1000 subscribers now.
But it was only that.
I thought I'd get more subscribers, but it wouldn't increase at all.
"I have other things going on as well."
Like the novelisation of [Mission].
To be honest, there's so many parts I want to correct that I feel like crying.
On top of that I also have to discuss the character designs with Lumi-chan, I don't really have the leisure to work on a vocaloid song right now.
But, Konoha who doesn't know that keeps pushing me to do so.
[You probably just have some unfinished homework right? That kind of thing can be done later.]
"That's not something an honor student should be saying."
It seems like Konoha is one of the top students at her school.
She was bragging about it with a smug face.
[If you want to increase your subscribers, you have no choice but to upload a lot. Also the people subscribed to you are looking forward to your next song.]
"I didn't make a vocaloid song in order to increase my subscribers."
It's just one of my hobbies.
It's not like I don't care about my number of subscribers, but I never thought about increasing it.
"Muu, if it increases then I'll be happy."
"I'm also quite busy after all. And I haven't decided on how my next work is gonna be."
In the first place my work [Blue Elfin] is my first one.
I can't just dish out songs so easily like that.
"It took me 2 years to finish [Blue Elfin], you know? although I had to stop for a while due to my highschool entrance exams."
[... If it's like that, then it can't be helped.]
"It helps that you understand."
It's a relief that I have an understanding childhood friend.
[Oh, by the way, does Haruto know Amatsu Atsume-sensei?]
"Of course I do."
She's [Mission]'s illustrator.
She probably doesn't know, but why is she asking?
[It's been decided that we're gonna have a collab.]
"Ha?"
What are you saying, Konoha?
You really like jokes, don't you.
[Does Haruto know about "Konoha"?]
"[Konoha] ? My childhood friend Konoha?"
[Look it up on Youtubo.]
I looked it up like she told me to, as she said there's a channel called [Konoha] in english letters.
"Is it this channel with 200k subscribers?"
[That's me.]
"Yes??"
[I'm a singer.]
"that's a joke, right?"
"it's true"
From what she explained, she got really into singer's last year, and she also wanted to be one as well, so she uploaded a song and got really popular.
[Am I amazing?]
"Why are you saying it like a slit-mouth woman? It's really amazing! But, I listened to the song just now and isn't the voice kind of different?"
[It's been processed a little bit, I think they call it a mix?]
Wow, so there's something like that.
[I'm going back on topic, I'll be collabing with Amatsu Atsume-sensei.]
"That's amazing, but why?"
[When I thought about doing a cover of Haruto's "Blue Elfin" they contacted me.]
In detail, Konoha was publicly recruiting an illustrator to do the thumbnail, and this time she did so on twitter saying she's gonna cover [Blue Elfin] and Amatsu Atsume-sensei sent her a message.
[This time Amatsu Atsume-sensei is gonna do the illustration.]
That's amazing.
I know from her illustration of [Mission], but her drawings are really moving.
"Isn't that great, Konoha?"
[Yeah, that's fine, but there's one problem.]
Problem?
[We have a plan to meet up to get familiar with each other.]
"Isn't that good? She might draw some illustrations for you again next time."
[Haruto knows my personality right?]
"..."
That's right.
I forgot how shy Konoha was.
Although she can speak normally to me because we're childhood friends, I've never seen her talk to anybody else.
Wait a minute… isn't Lumi-chan also very shy?
What's gonna happen if the two of them meet?
"Won't it be hell?"
Since I know the personalities of the two, I can easily imagine the scene.
[Now do you know how I feel?]
… Am I gonna be asked to be the middle man?
[I've never met Amatsu Atsume-sensei before, so I don't even know their gender, if they're gonna be a man it would be scary.]
If I told her that she's actually younger than Konoha, I wonder if she would actually believe me.
This is where I should do my best.
"I got it, so when do you plan to meet up?"
[... Today at 1pm.]
"It's almost 12 right now though!?"
Um, Konoha-san?
Can you stop telling me these things so suddenly?
"By the way, where are you meeting up?"
[It's at a Karaoke place 2 stations away from you.]
"Are you doing a mixer or something!?"
For now, I hurriedly prepared and headed towards the meeting place.
But thinking of the walk to the station and the time the train comes, I don't feel like I'll make it in time.
Since it can't be helped, I messaged Konoha [I'll be a little late.] and hurried to the station.
Thanks for the new chapter!
