Start By Becoming A Mangaka

The girls were happy to see Yuuki.

They had heard they were the ones who made the song for Hokago Tea Times. They were curious about what kind of song they would play this time.

"YUUKI!!" Hina-chan was surprised to see him on the television. She knew she would join this tournament but to see him on the television was different.

"Wow, he is on the TV! I need his autograph!" Kuina said.

"W-wow," Mayuki was stunned.

Chiaki also felt quite happy to see him there and wanted to know what kind of song he would sing.

Yuuki took a deep breath and looked at everyone, "The first song is being made for someone special, \'Hanabira\'." He had thought for a few days and felt this was the best song to sing in this tournament. He also had something he wanted to say to Yaeko with this song.

He still couldn\'t forget about her whenever he looked at Shouko. Yaeko\'s appearance kept appearing on his head and he couldn\'t deal with it. He wanted her to be his even though he knew it was wrong but he definitely couldn\'t let her go from his life.

Yukari smiled and nodded at him.

*BGM (Hanabira - Back Number).

The first song was his time and he started to sing.

"One day we watched side by side this scenery with sakura falling."

"Telling each other from the heart words that now are quite all lies."

Utaha looked at his figure who was singing on the stage. She felt this song was quite sad and she also knew for who this song was made. She sighed and looked at Shouko who couldn\'t look away from the screen.

Utaha didn\'t know how the relationship between him and Shouko went when she knew that he had dated her mom before. She knew his relationship was wrong but he had the power to shut everyone up and do whatever he wanted.

Utaha could only smile bitter and listened to his song.

"I forgot to say it but I still love you."

"I can only mutter that by myself but it keeps coming out."

Yuuki started to remember his days with Yaeko who was very cold on the first day he met her. Both of them started to meet each other more often and she started to show her cute and clumsy side to him.

Then both of them met more and more often, they decided to take their relationship into more serious that day. Both of them were happy but they knew someone would be unhappy when she knew about their relationship.

That was why she decided to break their relationship but he still couldn\'t let go, especially when he saw her pained expression whenever she saw both him and her daughter together. He couldn\'t bear to see her sad expression and wanted to make her smile like before.

"But I don\'t want to forget.

"It rewinds many and many times."

Everyone who listened to this song started to cry and remembered their first love. They couldn\'t forget that sweet, sour, and bitter feeling that days. They wanted to forget it but these feelings kept coming out.

They wanted to curse him to make them remember it but they couldn\'t. They really liked this song and sang along with him.

Marika wanted to go on stage and hugged him tightly. She saw him looking very pained when he sang this song. But she held herself and started to think that this was his vulnerable time and she could use this chance to increase his affection for her. But she decided not to do that since she knew both girls in front of her would do that for her.

\'I won\'t lose!\'

Akeno started to remember her days with her parents during her childhood. It was very happy and she always remembered it. She wanted to forget it because she hated her father who left both her and her mother. But her memories of her happy memories with her father kept slipping through her mind. She shook her head and didn\'t know what to do. She looked at his figure who was singing on the stage.

Akeno thought the person who sang this song was the masked man who kept making him annoyed. But she knew he was the only one who would accept her as she was to be.

Koneko also started to remember her days with her big sister. Even though her life wasn\'t easy but she was happy to be with her. She thought as long as there was her big sister everything would be alright but because of her big sister mistakes. She was almost being executed in front of everyone. She still couldn\'t forget about those experiences and wanted to know why her big sister left her.

\'I will go with him, next time.\'

"I want to fall in love again."

"And this time I won\'t let you go."

"It\'s not a lie."

Yaeko tried to hold her tears but she couldn\'t. She started to sob when she remembered her time together with him. She couldn\'t forget about him and she knew about it. She also couldn\'t hurt her daughter for him.

His song kept ringing in her ears and she knew his intention. He didn\'t forget about her and wanted her to be with him again. She didn\'t know what to do with her feelings. At one side, she wanted to be with him but at the same time, she knew she couldn\'t be with him.

Satsuki who looked at her friend could only caress her back. She had also heard this song of him and it was the same as the public confession. But she had to admit this song was really good and it really entered her heart. She also started to feel sad when she thought she didn\'t have anyone who loved her this much.

"I want to meet you once again."

"I want to fall in love again."

"And this time I won\'t let you go."

"I won\'t let you go."

Yaeko took a deep breath when his song finished. She really needed to talk to him and decided whether his feeling was true or not. But one thing for sure was that she still loved him and she couldn\'t forget about him.

"Have you decided?" Satsuki asked.

Yaeko nodded, "I need to talk with him."
