Osaka is a place that retains a lot of heat from the summer, the temperature is in full swing even in September. Iâve also thought this back when I was in college before but Minami Kawachi especially , where Geidai is located, leans on the hotter side of things.\nWhen the season passes however it gets cold in the blink of an eye.Â
The wind from Mt. Kongo cools down the surrounding neighborhood, freezing the students one by one in the process.
âAnd henceforth I will establish the nation of kotatsuâŠâŠâŠ..â
With only her head and neck sprouting from the kotatsu, Nanako casually heralded  what could potentially be the destruction of humanity.\nâBut mankind wouldnât be able to withstand that and besides thy need to endeavour oneself into practicing singing.â
While breathing out a magnificent sigh I attempt to somehow take Nanako ,master of the kotatsu ,to the outside world.\nâCome now, your singing teacher is waiting for you at schoolâ\nâDonât wannaâŠâŠâ
And then now even her head is inside the kotatsu.\nâHey Nanako you need to get to practiceâ
âN-O-, No!â\nHer tantrums could be heard coming from inside the kotatsu.\nâThatâs a splendid spoiled kid actâ\nâI had no idea that Nanako could act like a kid~â\nThe two outfielders had this feeling of amazement as they looked on.\nâHey both of you donât just look, help me. Fine then Iâm forcing you out heave ho!â\nâKyaa!â\nI forcibly dragged off the kotatsu futon that was above, pulling out Nanako who was hiding inside.\nâGet off! Â What a brute! Iâm done already, I wonât go to practice~!â\nNanako puffs up her cheeks like a child all the while struggling rampantly.
âHey listen to this Kyouya! These days it take so loooong, and itâs even the same sets of practices. It feels like a chore , It is not fun at all. I donât even feel like Iâm getting better at it!â\nâYou are doing lessons it isnât supposed to be all fun and gamesâ\nâHow long do these boring lessons have to continue~! Iâve been doing nothing but his for about a week now!â\nâOk, ok calm down calm down, I get it so letâs just go outsideâ\nIt feels like Iâm a parent comforting a child.\nI stand against the kotatsu table completely obliterating Nanakoâs defense wall.\nâUwaah! No way! You would just hate me if I sing like this even now.â\nOh boy the crocodile tears are here.\nâNo way! I really love your singing, Nanako! Donât you know that Iâve been waiting for it all this time? Even with all the preparations .â
Nanako has finally calmed down
âReally?â\nâTrust me. I wouldnât lie to you just like that.â
I grab Nanako by the hand and pull her up.\nâYou know I was deeply moved by your singingâ\nâUuuuuâŠ.-butâŠ..â\nâIâve been thinking that someday Iâd be able to hear your song without any tuning. Itâs something that only you can do Nanako.â\nI pat on her shoulders
âIâm looking forward to it. Thatâs whyâŠ..!â
*Uuuuuu*\nEven when the person herself is still poutingâ\nâI-I give up! Iâll go ok! Donât look at me in expectation with those sparkling eyes! Itâs that , the pressure you know? Really now!â\n\nÂ
*batabata*\nEscaping from the embarrassment she fixed herself right up putting on her shoes in an instant.
âIâll be going off!!â
And just like that she went out of the house in a sprint.
*Wew*\nI saw her off until she was gone , then sighed in relief.\nâHmm, at that rate would she be able to hang on I wonder?â\nFeeling like a parent watching over my child, I prayed to her good luck.
âRegardless of the tuning was the singing really that great?â\nâNanako was motivated that much, it must be so~â\nTsurayuki and Nanako have yet to actually listen to the Nanakoâs auto tuned song.\nâWell just look forward to it. Sheâll be able to sing for you someday.â\nI want those two to be able to have a taste of her greatness with a live song one day.
âIâll also be going out nowâ\nâYouâve still doing those part time job huhâ\nâIâve found a good one it will give me steady income for a while. Iâll also be staying out overnight.â\nâSo you wonât be coming back today. roger that~â\n âAnd with thatâŠâŠ.woah woah woahâ\nTsurayuki quickly raised himself up with one hand, he fell on his backside as he was leaving.\nâOw, That was pathetic of me, Iâm getting on in years.â\nâYou arenât even 20 yet thatâs a strange thing to sayâŠâŠâ
With his wry smile he pull up my hands and for an instant, Tsurayukiâs face caught my eye, I noticed something off.\nâHuh?â
His complexion is visibly bad. The skin is somewhat burnt with summer tan though that doesnât really raise any alarms but there were bags under his eyes plus his breathing is also rough.Â
Did he catch a cold? I try to call him out but
âThanks for that. Then now, Itâs time for me to actually go,â
Standing up, Tsurayuki says his thanks, turns his bike key and leaves the house.
âAh, Iâve never really heard the reason on why he works so muchâ\nIs there something he wants?
Or maybe because he is a diligent student and uses it as fuel for his scripts. I wonder what heâs vying for going so far as to go work even when his condition is somewhat bad.\nâKyouya-kun will you be doing anything?â\nShinoaki aske me looking a bit giddy. Judging from the flow of this, she may want to show me her new illustrations again.\nâI donât have anything planned soâŠâŠâ\nAs I was saying that I was free today, my phone rang.\nâOh, Itâs an incoming call.  I wonder who its from? Give me a minute.â
âYup, go ahead~â
A call from someone outside of Team Kitayama, that's unexpected
âHello, Hashiba speaking. âŠItâs been a whileâŠ..â\nIt was a senior from the club.\nââŠâŠEh?â
After hearing the contents, Naturally I ask about it again.
