Eternal Melody



SUMIRE

It's clear even from where she is standing, that there are people in the crowd that are hostile towards her. She can feel their emotions so deeply, almost like they are right by her side instead of in the audience seats.

ONLY ONE YELL

"One day, in the sound of the rainfall, I can still hear that voice

The voice tht called out to me

Through all the thick and thin, you're always by my side

So I can look forward and walk again

At that time, while standing on the stage that I had always dreamed

What will appear in my thoughts,

Indeed, it's the face of you

This song, and this voice, they're all connected to my precious feelings

Everyone was cheering for me before I even realized

I wish for this song, and this voice will reach high and far throughout the world

Little by little, carrying that warm feeling

Your thoughts will become my hope

Following my dream, with only one yell

Someday, when the seasons passed. 

It changed little by little,

and made the future that you and I talked about under that night sky so different

There's something certain inside my heart

I'll tell you, without hesitation

All about this gentle warmth." Sumire sang.

Gentle songs about her dreams, the future and people's hopes.

LOVE CHRONICLE

"Why? I've completely forgotten how to love

meetings will come someday with the beginning of parting

somehow, I have decided upon that idea

you tied my loose shoe laces of my dirty sneakers

your shy smile suddenly shone in the sunlight

it's not that I love for want of love

you gave me the courage to love straight-forward

the two swear to the journey from now

that no matter what occurs, the two hands will never part

it's weird, the everyday landscape begin to seem special

the flowers, birds, and sea the wind, mountains, sweet sun

when everything shines and cuddles together

I found the last piece to the unsolvable jigsaw puzzle

your broad back protects me and I'll continue to follow you

for eternity."

Gentle love songs about the one she loves deeply. The one person who has remained by her side this entire time.

SUPER ORBITAL 

The guitar intro is one of her favourite parts for this song. She remembers how she came up with the idea during one of her video calls with Yuhi-san.

"Though we pretend not to notice.

We gaze at the faraway stairs.

Spread your wings and fly off.

Towards another world.

That now wants to cause a miracle.

No more hesitation." Sumire sang.

She no longer has to hesitate, no longer has to hold back. Music has always been by her side. Even during her darkest moments, music has always shined so very brightly in her eyes. It's the one source of light that ceases to fade from this world.

"Even if we are apart

 I feel you, so I will carry on.

The sky that has begun to take shape, to dash forward, now sparkles. 

Beyond the stars."

The main reason why she can still love this world despite everything she has experienced is music. Music has never lied to her. The lines between dark and light songs have faded and merged into one. The light only her songs can bring.

The light- Sumire shuddered. There is something wrong. There is malice in the air, malice that isn't caused by jealousy. It's not the usual. This is stronger, malice that could potentially harm someone. 'I'm probably the target, normally that would be fine. I always get targeted. But-' Her gaze fell back stage where she had a clear view of her kids.

The kids are here tonight. She will do everything to protect them.

The moment the concert ended, she rushed back stage. She grabbed her kids from Hino, strapped Kyoko and Satomi to her. 

"Hino, can you carry Huan for me?"

"Yeah but-" Hino trailed off. "Are you leaving right away? What's wrong?"

"Uh." Sumire laughed lightly. "I'm feeling a bit unwell. So, I want to go home right away. I know I still have interviews to do after this but-"

"It's fine those can be rescheduled." Hino brushed his fingers across her forehead. "You do seem a bit feverish. It's better for you to get back quickly." He turned to Toh who just walked over.

Toh pressed a kiss to her forehead as he takes Kyoko from her. "This one's been eating a lot lately. So she's extra heavy."

"I never thought you'd comment on a woman's weight Toh."

"Good thing she isn't a woman yet." Toh trailed off. "Let's go, I parked my car in a good location. We should be good to go."

A relieved sigh escaped her lips. It's almost like Toh understands without her having to explain.

"Oh Sumire." A voice said. She turned to see Miya. "You did a great job there. I was wondering if I could stay over tonight. The last train already went."

Sumire paused. If Miya comes along, it's extra protection. Her barrier powers could come in handy. She slowly nodded her head as the four of them headed to the car parking lot. The entire time she kept glancing at her surroundings, and then back at the kids. It's okay, it'll be four against one. Whoever wants to hurt her, won't do it now.

The moment she gets the kids home and makes sure they are safe. 'I'll hunt them down.'

At Toh's apartment 11:00pm

Getting stuck in traffic for nearly an hour, made her incredibly anxious. She kept peeking her head out of the car just to make sure nobody was following them. Hino had to leave immediately since he had to deal with her not attending those interviews, and Toh just stepped out a few minutes ago.

'One of my subordinates are causing issues. It seems they are in the park nearby. I won't be gone long, but if I am make sure you go to bed.'

Is it a coincidence that Toh suddenly had to step out? She feels uneasy. The unease lead to her putting some music on and dancing.

"How do you still have the stamina to dance after that?"

Sumire laughed. "You'll get used to it."

"It seems really complicated. This industry isn't as simple as it seems."

"Going to quit?"

Miya smirked. "Never, I'm seeing this through. Your stuck with me now."

Miya seems motivated enough. But, it's probably not 

Sumire walked over and grabbed the two baby bottles and placed it in the twins hands. 

"You don't breastfeed?"

"Hmmm sometimes. But, I don't want the kids accidentally drinking my blood."

"It must be difficult raising them."

"I'll admit it's not easy. I don't know whether it's because of Hino or not. But, I get more work than most idols would. So, I don't have a lot of time with them. Because if that it's hard for me to learn to be a mother properly." Sumire patted Satomi's hair. "Thankfully these two are understanding for infants. Huan was the same way too."

Miya sweat fell. "I will never get used to your son who is only a year old acting like a four year old."
