Chapter 23: She Who Has Fierce Look And A Soft Heart
(Author's Note: You guys are so demanding. Fine, I'll continue the fanfic. Hope you enjoy!)
(Y/N)'s POV
LAYER told me that we'll go out on a date after Raise A Suilen's next live performance which is next week. She also told me to come over and watch her perform.
So, while waiting for the day, I went to gain knowledge about music and skills on playing instruments that I chose which is piano and violin.
You might be asking, why do I choose these two instruments? Well, it's complicated, but I'll try to explain it with what I can. These two are really good in giving an emotional and powerful atmosphere whether it's romantic or sad.
I love it whenever music has these two instruments played especially in video games music.
(Y/N)'s House
Saturday, Night
I decided to self teach myself to play violin and I'm having a hard time. Really, really hard. I couldn't hit the notes right and the violin didn't sound right when I strum them.
(Y/N): Man, this is really tough to master. I guess the violinists out there put a lot of dedication until they've lost count.
I keep messing up even the simplest step on how to play the violin. I even looked up tutorials on the Internet and it didn't help much.
(Y/N): I might need help later. Self teaching wouldn't help much.
So, I continued learning the basics of violin for the night and headed to sleep after a few hours of failed self teaching.
Hanasakigawa Co-Ed Academy
Monday, Afternoon
Right now, it's lunch time and I was heading to the student council's room as usual. I knocked at the door and Rinko greeted me.
Rinko: Hey, (Y/N).
She gave me a quick hug and I sat down on the chair with Rinko beside me.
Rinko: Hold on. I got something for you.
She went to her table and came back with a plate of dango on it. The fluffy taste of the rice balls fill my mouth with happiness.
(Y/N): The deliciousness and the texture in my mouth is really good, I must say.
Rinko: Fufu~ Glad you enjoy it.
(Y/N): Hey, Rinko. I have something to tell you.
Rinko: What is it?
I told Rinko about my new passion toward music and me deciding to play the violin.
Rinko: You want to be a musician?
(Y/N): Yes, I have decided. I can't let you girls fall for someone like me who has no life goal.
She was confused at first, but then giggled at me.
Rinko: You're so funny.
(Y/N): I'm being serious here.
Rinko: I know that, but I can't help but to laugh at your attempt. It's quite adorable.
She then looked at me still smiling a little.
Rinko: Not to lower your spirit or anything, but you should've started this when you were in your elementary school time.
I guess she's not wrong with that. Maybe, if I started earlier, I won't have much problem to play violin.
(Y/N): Well, you know what they say. Better late than never.
I said, not being quite confident with my words.
Rinko: Nonetheless, whatever you will do, I- no, we'll give you our support.
She gave me the most gorgeous smile ever. Man, when she gets this charming?
(Y/N): Thank you, Rinko.
Rinko: Don't mention it. You're our boyfriend after all. Besides, we want you to only love us and no other unknown girl can have you.
(Y/N): Yeah, I know that. You remind me like, thousands of times before.
Rinko: And I will keep doing it.
So, we had lunch together before the school bell rang and headed back to our classes.

GALAXY Live House
I'm at one of the live house and decided to practice there. I know that I could have just try to attend a violin class, but I don't see any availability nearby me.
I was too busy playing the violin that I didn't realize that I was being watched.
???: Oh, you're that guy from our concert.
I gazed at the voice saying those words and it was MASKING, the drummer of Raise A Suilen. I'd never thought to see her again.
(Y/N): You're that Raise A Suilen drummer.
MASKING: Yup, that's me. I think I should reintroduce myself. My name is MASKING. That's what everyone would call me.
(Y/N): Nice to meet you.
MASKING: Are you trying to be a violinist like Rui?
I didn't know that MASKING was Rui's friend, but I'm not going to question it.
(Y/N): Well, kind of. I mean, I want to be a musician like the other band girls.
MASKING: Huh, that's really good. I admire you a little for it.
(Y/N): I'm only a beginner for now. So, don't expect me to be like those other skilled violinists out there.
MASKING: Fine by me. You don't get good in something overnight. It takes time and dedication to do so.
(Y/N): You're right.
She smiled at me and I admit, it's adorable even if she's somewhat of a tomboy.
(Y/N): Is it okay if I use the stage to practice?
MASKING: I think there's no problem for that. But, after that, let me use it, okay?
(Y/N): I got you.
I practiced my violin a little bit more before MASKING went to use the stage to beat some drums.
Timeskip...
It's already evening by the time I'm done practicing my violin. I decided to pack up and get out of GALAXY. As I'm heading home, someone called my name.
MASKING: (Y/N)-san...
She was beside her bike and was about to ride it.
(Y/N): What is it?
MASKING: How about I treat you with ramen? You must've been tired from all of these.
(Y/N): Umm... no, thanks.
MASKING: Oh, come on. Just for a moment.
As I was about to say something, I heard someone called my name.
LOCK: (Y/N)-san...
It turns out to be Rokka. She seems to be jealous when I'm having a chat with MASKING.
(Y/N)/MASKING: LOCK...
It was quite awkward between the three of us.
LOCK: What are you doing with him, MASKING-san?
MASKING: I want to take (Y/N) for a ramen. What's wrong? Want to tag along?
LOCK: No, you guys just go ahead. My work shift isn't over yet.
She said, upset that she couldn't come with us because of work.
(Y/N): No worries, we'll spend time later.
I give LOCK a head pat and she blushed from it.
LOCK: You better not cheat on me, okay?
(Y/N): Why would I?
LOCK: Good.
And with that, me and MASKING went to a restaurant together.
To summarize my experience with MASKING, she's a worker of a ramen shop called Ramen Galaxy. Her skills in cooking is also pretty good, I must say. The shop's rice is really appetizing and I even lick the plate clean as she laughed when I did.
For the night, she sent me back to my house with me showing her where is the direction to get there.
Timeskip...
Saturday, Night
Another concert of RAISE A SUILEN is here. There seems to be a lot of people. I can't believe they have this many fans.
The stage darkened as the concert began with CHU² introducing her band members. Here they are, LOCK and LAYER, in their rocking outfits.
As before, their performance is really good. The songs that they sang for the night are Rettou Joutou, CORE PRIDE and The Declaration of XXX.
Once the concert is over, I head out and got greeted by LOCK and LAYER.
LOCK: (Y/N)-san!
She gave me a huge hug. LAYER is just smiling at both of us.
(Y/N): Hey there, girls.
LAYER: Do you think we did well on the stage, (Y/N)?~
(Y/N): Yes, m- LAYER.
I controlled myself from calling her "mommy" because we're the same age. It's her fault that she's being this attractive that I almost called her that.
LOCK: I'm so glad to be complimented by you.
She get off me and look at her watch.
LOCK: Oh, no. It's getting this late. I have to go now. See you!
LOCK kissed me at the cheek and excused herself out as she went home. Now, there's only me and LAYER alone.
LAYER: Hey, umm... this might be a weird thing to ask you.
(Y/N): What is it?
LAYER: Can you call me Rei? I mean, when we're all alone, of course.
(Y/N): Sure thing, Rei.
She smiled after I called her by first name instead of the one that CHU² gave her. Then, she did something that I didn't expect.
She leaned over me and said...
LAYER: I'll have my turn with you someday~ Good night, darling.
She whispered at me before leaving. Man, is she just alluring?
Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) and Chibi MASKING riding a bike.
The next day...
CiRCLE Live House, Evening
I decided to visit CiRCLE Live House after my violin practice since they got a cafeteria and it caught my interest. Of course, the worker at there took my order.
???: Didn't expect to meet you here.
I heard a familiar voice and it's Sayo in her casual outfit with guitar at her back.
(Y/N): Sayo... come and sit with me.
Sayo: Don't mind if I do.
She sat at an empty chair at the front of me and begin the conversation.
Sayo: I heard from Shirokane-san that you wanted to play violin, right?
(Y/N): True indeed.
Sayo: But, out of all instruments, why violin? Not that I'm telling you to quit playing, but I'm just curious.
(Y/N): I guess I just really love calm music, so I went for violin.
Sayo: Piano can also create a calm music, you know?
(Y/N): Of course I do. However, it's just my preferences.
Sayo: I see. Well, whatever you do, I'll support it.
She gave me a small smile that melts my heart. Dang, even Sayo can be this cute.
After my time at CiRCLE, I decided to go meet someone and it's Rui. I asked Morfonica where she lives and even give me the address. I head there and went to meet her.
(Y/N): Hello, Rui.
Rui: (L/N)-san, what brings you here?
(Y/N): I have something to ask you with.
Rui: What would it be?
(Y/N): I want you to teach me in playing violin.
A moment of silence from her and she said...
Rui: Come again?
(Y/N): I want to become a musician, and I chose to play the violin. Can you teach me to play them?
Rui: To be honest, I don't mind.
(Y/N): Wait, really?
Rui: I don't want to be too arrogant when it comes to sharing knowledge. So, I'll help you out.
(Y/N): That would be much appreciated, Rui.
Rui: So (L/N)-san...
(Y/N): Oh, come on. What's with the formalities? Just call me (Y/N). It's not that hard. The others easily said it to me, why can't you?
Rui: It's just not what I want to do. I'm used to it.
(Y/N): Please... I really wanted to hear it from you.
I beg Rui a bit and she seems to slowly accept my offer. She sighed and said my first name.
Rui: (Y-Y/N)-san...
(Y/N): There we go.
Rui: It's really embarrassing.
(Y/N): Why is that?
Rui: I'm not not used to calling people by their first name. You're the first one I did to.
(Y/N): I see.
Rui: Let's just start our lesson. We're not here to chit chat.
(Y/N): Right.
So, Rui taught me how to play violin and I managed to catch up with some of her lessons. I think I'm making slow progress thanks to her.
The session wasn't too long, it was only for around 1-2 hours. After our class, she give me her honest thought.
Rui: You're slowly improving. Keep it up.
(Y/N): For real?
I looked at her in excitement when I heard that I'm slowly becoming better.
Rui: Yes, I mean it. Stop being childish and grow up a little.
(Y/N): You're telling me this, yet I'm a year older than you.
Rui: You want me to drop you out of my class?
She threatened me and was being serious about it.
(Y/N): No! Please, Ms. Rui.
Rui: Stop it. As I was saying, yes. Despite you being a beginner, I can tell you're passionate in trying to play the violin.
(Y/N): Glad that I am. I got to appreciate you for teaching me.
Rui: You're the one who insisted me to.
She stared at me blankly and then she said...
Rui: But, I'm glad that you did.
She gave me a hug and it makes me blush. I didn't expect to see Rui having this soft side of her. But, I'm not complaining because I love it when she does.
Rui: You should be going home now. It's getting late.
(Y/N): Yeah, I agree.
Rui: Be careful out there, and don't talk to other girls that we don't know.
(Y/N): Rui, there's no way I would do that.
I excused myself out from Rui's house and head back to mine for the night.
Third Person's POV
CHU²'s Penthouse Studio, Afternoon
Right now, Raise A Suilen is having a break after rehearsing their new song. It went well even with some mistakes and everyone is happy.
MASKING: That (Y/N)...
She asked herself while drinking some water.
MASKING: ...why is he just too nice? Why can't I get rid of him from my head?
Then, a flashback of her with (Y/N) at the restaurant together plays in her mind. His cheerful expression when trying out her cooking is something that she can't forget. Everytime MASKING remember her face, it seems that her heart flutters. Then, it hits her when she realizes...
MASKING: Am I... having a crush on him?
???: Interested with (Y/N), are you?
Someone called her out and it's LAYER who's been hearing to her.
LAYER: I heard from LOCK that you're trying to get close to (Y/N).
She was a bit shocked that her friend knows about it.
MASKING: What is it to you, anyway?
She asked, a bit annoyed by LAYER.
LAYER: Everything.
MASKING: Huh? You're telling me that you're jealous if I were to befriend (Y/N)?
LAYER: Not only me, his other girlfriends would feel the same if you're to be involved.
MASKING: Wait, he has several girlfriends?
LAYER: Even precise...
LAYER leaned close to MASKING as she whispered...
LAYER: ...he has 32 of them including me, and all are band girls.
Her eyes widened and she's struck in awe from what LAYER just told her.
MASKING: 32?! How did he get that many?!
LAYER: Beats me. I think he has a secret charm that attracts us, or he's just being a nice guy.
MASKING couldn't believe what she heard from LAYER.
MASKING: Whether you like it or not, you won't stop me.
MASKING gave her an angry look.
LAYER: Your fierce look didn't make me flinch, not even a bit.
She said while smirking at MASKING, causing her to pull away and yelled at the vocalist.
MASKING: Whatever! I'll fall for (Y/N) and you can't stop me!
She said as she stormed off the penthouse to ride her motorcycle as she went to find (Y/N). Little did LAYER know what was in her mind.
LAYER: (Y/N)... please...
She said to herself while looking at the view.
LAYER: ...accept MASKING's love and please convince her to share you with us.
(Y/N)'s POV
Another day at GALAXY Live House since Rui is busy with her band practice. So, I decided to improve my violin playing by myself.
After that tiring day of me self learning, it's time to go home. But then, it was cut short when a bike stopped right at the front of me. It was actually MASKING and she seems to be in a hurry.
MASKING: I knew I would find you here.
(Y/N): Wh-What's wrong?
MASKING: (Y/N)... I want to talk to you for a bit.
(Y/N): Let me guess. You love me and won't let me leave if I don't accept you, right?
I interrupted her by guessing what she's about to say next and it seems that I was right.
MASKING: How did you know?
Sayo: Actually, LAYER-san told us before you got here.
Both of them showed up from the stage. My student council's girlfriend.
Sayo: Luckily, we made it here faster.
She said with a slightly annoyed expression while showing her phone with LAYER's message.
LAYER: Hey, it's me LAYER. I'm here to tell you this. MASKING will come and find (Y/N) to confess her love. Then, she will take him away from you girls. You should go find him before it's too late.
She read the message and was in disbelief.
MASKING: Rei...
Flashback...
As I was practicing my violin, my phone buzzed. I opened it and it shows that I received a message from LAYER.
LAYER: MASKING will be coming to GALAXY and confess her love to you. Do you want your student council's girlfriend to know about this?
I think for a moment and then, I decided it. I replied to her...
(Y/N): Yes. Just let them be the judge whether or not MASKING could join the harem.
Few moments later, I got a new message from Sayo.
Sayo: We're on our way to GALAXY. LAYER-san told us to come there.
(Y/N): Get here quick before she does.
Rinko: We know that.
Flashback ends...
Rinko: Can't believe that it actually happened.
Sayo: So MASKING-san, do you have anything to say about this?
Rinko: Are you going to steal (Y/N)?
MASKING: That's not what I'm planning to-
Rinko: Too bad, you're messing with the wrong person.
She said, threatening the tomboyish blonde drummer from getting close to me.
(Y/N): Hold on, let MASKING talk first.
I said, trying to keep things calm between us.
MASKING: I wasn't planning to steal (Y/N) at all! I just wanted to be with him as well!
Sayo: What makes you think we believe you?
MASKING: That... umm...
(Y/N): Calm down, MASKING. Are you sure that you want to be with me?
I put both of my hands on her shoulder, hoping to make her calm and think wisely.
MASKING: Yes, I do.
Rinko: We'll share him equally. No arguing who (Y/N) loves more. Do we have an agreement?
MASKING: Heh, why would I want to steal him away? I just need (Y/N) to love me as well.
(Y/N): I mean, I already am. You treat me to your restaurant at one time. Maybe I'll return the favor later.
MASKING: You being my boyfriend is more than enough to compensate.
MASKING kissed me on the lips and it's really warm. I couldn't pull back because I was enjoying it, so I just closed my eyes.
(Y/N): Ahaha, I love you too, MASKING.
MASKING: If you want somewhere far to go, just ask me. I'll give you a ride.
Right after, she gave me the stare that yanderes would do.
MASKING: Also, I don't want to see you talk to other girls than us, band girls.
(Y/N): Absolutely.
She released herself from me and said...
MASKING: How about we get ourselves some ramen?
(Y/N): Ahaha, of course! Besides, I really wanted a bowl right now.
MASKING: Then, you got yourself one.
Rinko: Well, another one's in his harem.
MASKING: Would you girls want one too?
Sayo: Sure. But, we'll sit beside (Y/N).
MASKING: Okay!
She said happily, knowing that she has become my girlfriend at that moment. With that, I have 33 band girls now. How am I going to explain it to the other about this?
...
I have no idea, but I'm sure they'll accept MASKING with open heart.
(The end...)
(Author's Note: Screw the haters. I do what I want. Also, we're slowly getting all of the girls... kind of.)
