Whispering You a Love Song ch3: After School, Time for the Two of Us.

p1
>Miki-chan!
>Morning!
>S'up.

>I assume from your hyperactivity that something good happened?
>Haha~n
>Hehehe.
>Wanna hear about it?

>Actually, yesterday...
>Kino-san.

p2
>Good morning.

p3
>Yori-senpaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?
>You're that surprised?

>I saw you from behind and decided to call out to you.
>Was I being a bother?

>It made me
>reeeeally happy!

>...Are you gonna come by today?
>Yeah!

p4
>Is it okay for me to come?
>Come by at whatever time you like.

>Asanagi~ Let's go to class together~
>Yeah, yeah.

>Alright.
>See you after school.

>Yeah! I'm looking forward to it!!

>Good to see that Asanagi-senpai seems to be a kind person.

p5
>I know, right!? She's kind and pretty and cool and her voice is so beautiful, right!?
>I didn't go that far.

>For now, I get it.
>You're excited because you made plans to meet up with Asanagi-senpai today, right?

>She said I could come see her every day!
>Everyday!?

>Everyday with Himari... that senpai must be something of an oddball...
>How mean!

>Well.
>Whatever the case, good for you.

>Hah~ I'm so happy to get to see Senpai so early in the morning~
>And I'm gonna see her again after school! Holy cow, Miki-chan~
>Yeah, yeah.

p6
>My special seat, where I can hear your song at its closest.

p7
>So the confession turned out to be a misunderstanding... huh...

>Apparently she meant that she became a fan of mine.
>And you were so cute getting worked up over a confession and everything.
>Too bad.
>I-
>I wasn't worked up!

>Well, I already knew though...
>Nee-chan. Himari fell in love at first sight with that vocalist.
>Heh?
>Ah. As a fan.
>Eh?

>It sounds fun
>so I won't tell her.

>Mizuguchi?
>Yes, yes?
>What's up?
>Oh, nothing~

p8
>So
>I guess if she doesn't have any romantic feelings towards you
>I shouldn't go showing her courtesy, right?
>Well, it is pretty risky.

>That's why for now
>I thought I'd try becoming a cool and reliable senpai.

>You, Yori?
>A reliable senpai?
>Coolness aside...
>What gives?

>Just kidding. Looking on the bright side is just fine.
>Gee, thanks...

p9
>That way, you can write us that love song!
>Of course you'd link back to that.

>We heard what you said!

>We'll support you too!

>I'll prepare a luxury passenger boat for when you confess.
>Tachibana-san will prepare you a lovely bouquet~
>I don't want them!

p10
>This is pretty bad...
>Just the thought that I'll be seeing Kino-san after this
>is making me really cheery.

>Ah.

>Yori-senpai!

>You...

p11
>...surprised me~ I didn't think you'd already be here.
>I totally slacked off.
>Sorry. I got here 20 minutes early.
>20 minutes!?

>I dashed here as fast as I could as soon as school ended.
>Why...?

>Well...
>I wanted to see you as soon as I could...

>I guess I got here a bit too early, huh?

p12
>Aah...
>This is bad.
>She's too cute.
>Our homeroom teacher goes on for way too long~

>They started talking about pyramids for some reason.
>I was just like "just finish up already" the entire time!

>Would that be Ono the physics teacher?
>Yeah!
>That's the one!

>That teacher's famous for their lengthy talks.
>They also shut down any idle chatter in class.
>Eeeh!? They do that too?

p13
>We ended up chatting for way too long!
>You're right. Look at the time.

>Sorry. I was just blabbering on...
>No, it's fine.

p14
>I enjoy spending time
>talking with you, Kino-san.

>Yori-senpai looks
>really
>pretty when she smiles...

p15
>Ah!

>I-I forgot something important...

>Please, Yori-senpai!

>Could you...
>let me hear just one song...?

>A-
>Alright. Just one.
>Yay!
>Thank you so much!

p17
>Phew~
>It really is nervewracking playing for an audience.

>I missed a few notes in the middle of that performance too...
>Senpai!

>I'm
>so happy I could hear your song up so close.

>It's like... your voice is so transparent and pretty...
>The way you look when you sing is charming and cool too...
>Even though I only asked for one song, I already want to hear more.

p18
>...
>...
>Kino-san, high praise is forbidden.
>Eeh~

>I can't help it.

>I...

>really love
>your songs, Senpai.

p19
>Love... Love is dangerous...
>You sure like some strange things, Kino-san...
>Ehehe~

>Come to think of it, are you gonna play with that band again?
>Eh?
>No way. Nuh-uh.

>I'm bad performing in front of others. That was a one-off thing.
>Ah, but...

>Those girls keep telling me to write them a song.
>Write one~
>Write one~

>Wr-
>Write a song!?
>>So cool~
>It's gotten to the point where I can't not write them one.

p20
>I mean, y'know.
>A complete amateur like me has never written a song...
>A band's song is supposed to hype people up, after all.

>Eh~
>You sure?

>I really want to hear
>a song written by you, Senpai!

p21
>!

>If that's what you say, Kino-san, I might have to consider it.

>...
>Hah... wah...
>?

p22
>S-
>Sorry!
>I just kinda...!
>It's fine...!


>It's fine!
>I'm perfectly fine.

>I'm fine...
>but...
>Um.
>For some reason...

p23
>being touched by you, Senpai,
>is making me blush a little.

>Ah
>Oh crap! The go-home music!

>Senpai! Wanna walk home together?
>Ah.
>Sure, okay.
>I just need to grab my bag from the classroom!
>Wait at the shoe lockers.

p24
>What the heck
>am I doing...?

>Kino-san was so cute
>when she turned all red...

>Aah...

>Will I...
>be able to control myself?
