A month after providing a song to Harushita Suzune, I received a call from her.

[I’ve got a CD ready and I’d like to give it to you, do you have time?]

When I saw the email, I let out a sigh once. Or is it more of a sigh?

…..

“I said we should avoid seeing each other right”

My angry voice that echoes through the house of one person. I’m not that furious when I say I’m furious, but I’m somewhat angry because of how many of them are similar to me.

“What is it? Is it that guys who get popular are made to not listen to others? Huh? Isn’t that right?”

Whether it is Mirei, Azusa, or Kotoha, why do so many of them not listen to me?

As I was thinking this, I received a text message that continued.

[I’m sorry, but it’s too loud. I can hear you outside.]

…… What? Outside? How far outside?

Then I thought, “No way,” and fearfully approached the front door to look out through the through-hole. And what did I see there?

“Good morning, Nagishiro san.”

There was. Harushita san, Harushita Suzune, was there.

“Waa!?”

“Don’t react as if you’ve encountered such a ghost, Or rather, open the door quickly.”

“W-Wait, why are you here?”

“Just please.”

It’s not fineeeee!

A-Anyway !

“How did you get here!? I don’t remember letting you in the apartment!.”

This apartment building is very secure and you should have to be let in by one of the residents to get inside the apartment……!

I have given the keys to Kotoha and Mirei so they should be able to get in, but of course I haven’t given them to Harushita san.

“I told the landlord what happened yesterday, and he let me through right away?”

That old man! Protect my privacy!

“So, I hope you’ll be quick.”

Betrayed by the most important position as “landlord,” I had no choice but to raise the smiling Harushita san to my house.

“So why did you suddenly decide to come to my house again?”

At any rate, there was no doubt that she was a VIP, so I prepared the best tea (note: just black tea) and the most expensive sweets (note: common akafuku) that I had at home. Yeah, definitely not enough.

Anyway, I put them down, she sat on the couch and I sat on the cushions and we started talking.

“You know what you said in your e-mail? I just finished a song and thought you should hear it.”

“….I guess with the CD you could have just mailed it to me at or just sent me the data for the song in the first place…”

“Oh, yes! I hadn’t thought of that.”

Harushita san reacts in a deliberate manner. This is definitely a sure thing.

What on earth is the purpose of this?

I thought she seemed to have a kind and gentle personality as far as I could see. At any rate, I found out that she has a pretty good personality this time around. ……

“Here it is.”

Harushita san hands me a CD saying so. It is a blank CD.

“Thank you. May I have a quick listen?”

“Eeh, of course”

After receiving Harushita san’s approval, insert the CD into the computer.

I actually wanted to hear it as soon as possible, as it has been on my mind for a long time.

I put the earphones to my ears and press the play button with nervousness and excitement in my heart.

—From that moment on, I forgot that Harushita san was right in front of me.

“How is it…..?”

As expected, she was anxious, and when I removed the earphones, she asked timidly.

Hmm, impressions. I’m not sure how I feel about it.

“…… was so good. Really ……. Thank you.”

When I first offered the song, I tried to apply Harushita san’s voice to the song using only my imagination, but it matched the song far better than I had imagined.

Not only the skill with which she sings beautifully on high notes, but there is also something about the lyrics that carry all the emotion and appeal directly to our hearts. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be heat.

(Is this the retiree’s song ……?)

If so, she is clearly a genius. Harushita Suzune is a genius.

The woman in front of me is an undeniable genius.

“That’s good to know…….”

The person in question, by the way, looks deeply relieved and relieved at heart.

Let me ask her at this point.

“Harushita san is …… it, were you really retired ……?”

But my question didn’t seem to make sense, and she asked me back what it was about.

“What is it?”

“No, I don’t mean to be rude about that ……. It was so good that I didn’t think it belonged to someone who was retired, so I thought maybe you were working somewhere ……”

When I honestly revealed what was on my mind, Harushita san giggled. Her smile, which was quite dainty, reminded me of the way she used to be when she was an idol.

“Is there something wrong …..?”

“N-No, Nothing !”

She laughs at me, saying I’m a strange person.

“So, to your question, I was really retired. I wasn’t particularly active, or under any other name, for that matter.”

[I kept training, though] she says shyly.

I, on the other hand, am stunned. She is a true genius, after all.

She is as talented as Kotoha and the others – although it is not a good idea to compare them because they excel in different ways – or even more talented than they are.

This is definitely the song.

“I think it will sell. I’m sure it will sell. In fact, I will buy it.”

“T-Thank you?”

She was now puzzled by my serious declaration.
