(Nnnngh… I still need to finalize Knights’ proposal for their upcoming live in a few days.

Tenshouin-senpai’s gotten quite strict with the quality of the paperwork recently, but hopefully I can get this approved by the end of today.

After that, I also gotta review their funds since they did a ton of volunteer work and had no source of stable fundings ever since DDD…

I don’t think we can even afford any sort of fancy lighting and props at the moment but, if I can get the approval of the stage crew, I think I can whip something up to their standards for cheap, fufu~♪

Hmmm, after that I gotta talk to the broadcasting committee for the sound design to make sure the instrumentals don’t overshadow their voices this time ‘round-)

(Oh?! Phew, thank god I saw him in time otherwise I would’ve walked right into him and that would’ve been so embarrassing!)

Hmm… I’ve never seen him before, is he a new student? Wait, that can’t be. Kunugi-sensei and Sagami-sensei would’ve informed Anchu and I if a new idol was enrolled.

But, at the same time, he’s wearing the idol course uniform so he can’t be from general education…

Uwaaa, I’ve been standing here and staring at him for too long! I must’ve looked really creepy! Thank god he didn’t notice! He seems busy though, so I won’t disturb him.

Lemme just walk around him and make sure that I don’t step on his papers- Oh?

Wait a second… That’s-?!)

AaAH! No way!

The main melody accompanied by the subtle modulation with the background instruments creates such an interesting chord progression in this section! Especially when you take the lyrics into account~

That’s such an emotionally powerful verse!

Not only that, but the backing instruments form such a beautiful counterpoint that supports the main melody perfectly!

The harmonies sound fantastic together and, wait… Is that the bridge?

Ahh, it so catchy~♪ I can already hear the song playing clearly in my head ♪

This is amazing! A one-of-a-kind masterpiece! I never heard a song this beautifully done before-

</aside>

Wha-wha? Who’re you?!

</aside>

O-oh! I’m so sorry! That was quite rude of me. My name is-

</aside>

Wait! Don’t say it! Let me think about who you are!

Simple answers will ruin the ever expanding fantasy that spreads infinitely across the universe~

Ahh, it’s spreading! The infinite cosmos is spreading right before my very eyes! Inspiration’s gushing forth! If it’s now, I can write a masterpiece~☆

Wahahahaha☆

</aside>

U-um… To answer you’re first question, my name’s Elira and-

</aside>

Eh? You’re an Alien?! [1]

Wait, don’t tell me... Are you here to abduct me?!

If that’s the case then try me, I dare you! Grr, I won’t go down without a fight!

Let’s fight to the death with our swords held high and defeat the enemy within this battlefield to determine the true victor of this duel once and for all!

</aside>

What?! No! I don’t want to fight you at all and I’m not even an alien in the first place!

(Though, I guess it is weird for a complete stranger to randomly start gushing about your work outside the internet…)

Don’t worry, you won’t get abducted…? Either.

I was just gonna say that I’m a transfer student enrolled in the co-ed program with Anzu~

I transferred a while ago, a few months after her actually, so I’m not that new, technically…

</aside>

…Huh, now that you said it. You are wearing the same uniform like Anzu!

So another producer, huh? In that case, Uchuu~☆ I made up this greeting for the universe! As an Alien, I’m sure you’d be able to understand, Wahaha~☆

Argh, wait just a sec! Don’t be a nuisance, I’m writing a masterpiece right now! If you interfere, the symphony shall fade into nothingness and disappear completely!

The opera would come to an abrupt end!

Lemme write this down while the spring of inspiration gushes upon the seeds of infinitely spreading music and, maybe, I’ll listen to you later~

♪~♪~

</aside>

(So he’s in the zone, huh?)

Don’t worry, that’s understandable. I’ve been there before~

Though, if you’re gonna continue composing, be careful with your papers.

It would be a shame if someone were to step on them and ruin your masterpiece.

</aside>

Eh?! You even organized my papers in the correct order?!

Thank you so much! I really like you, you’re not a bad Alien after all! I love you!

Wahahaha ☆

</aside>

Yeah, I know how to read music notes so it wasn’t difficult to sort out your papers~

But you shouldn’t really use loose sheets otherwise they can get lost easily so I’d definitely recommend a noteboo—

</aside>

Ack! Wait, it’s fading! The inspiration that has descended upon me has completely disappeared! The divine melody of a genius composer is now gone, forever lost to the cosmos!

What a loss for the whole world! What a waste, such a shame!

That’s why I said to not talk to me! (sniff)

</aside>

Eek! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin your flow!

I just wanted to try and help since I was the one that disturbed you in the first place so the least I could’ve done was to give some advice and I couldn’t help but be amazed by your song since it truly is a masterpiece so I didn’t want it to get ruined or lost—

(Uwah! I’m doing it again!)

—S-sorry. Never mind, forget what I said. This is a bad habit of mine, I should really stop talking now…

(Elira, you idiot, what are you doing?! At this point, bumping into him would’ve been the least embarrassing thing you could’ve done!)

</aside>

Wahaha ☆ There’s no need to be so jumpy, Alien. It sounds like you’re still getting used to Earth, right?

Wait! Don’t answer that! This time, let me dabble in this wild fantasy. As long as you don’t answer, the infinite possibilities will spread across both “time” and “space.”

I feel it… Inspiration is bubbling within me once again, I can write a song about this! As expected I’m a genius, after all~☆

Quickly, quickly I must write this down before it disappears for good!
