Start by Becoming a Mangaka

Everyone went to the studio to check whether Azusa could become the new member of "Hokagou Tea Time."

Yuuki talked with Azusa and learned that her parents were professional musicians and it was her dream to become a musician too. He nodded and thought that she had quite a suitable background. He was sure that her parents had taught her a lot of music instrument during her childhood and her appearance was cute enough since there was a lot of people with a lot of preference in the world.

Rossweisse and Sawako who was in the toilet before also joining them.

Rossweisse wanted to talk about the job but she knew that she could discuss it later when the test was over. She was also quite curious about Azusa and thought that she was quite cute.

Sawako also didn't think much when everyone wanted for Azusa to join. She thought as long as the girl was cute it didn't really matter for her. "Azunyan, wait!"

"Azunyan....." Azusa was quite helpless with her nickname.

Sawako took something from her bag and placed it on Azusa's head. She nodded with a satisfied expression and said, "Good... It's perfect for you."

"...."

They were speechless but they had to admit that the cat ears headband that was placed on Azusa by Sawako was very suitable for her.

"S - Sensei!!!!" Azusa was both embarrassed and mad.

"Don't think too much. The only thing that you need to do is to get his recognization. You're cute and I am sure that he will quite tolerant toward you, but that isn't enough," Sawako said with a strict expression on her face.

Azusa saw the change in her expression and knew that it was quite serious. "R - Really?"

"Yes! This cat ears headband is an important factor for you and can become your support to show your skill in front of him," Sawako said.

Azusa felt quite doubtful but she nodded regardless since she wanted to join the band. She looked at Yuuki and said, "Y - Yuuki-senpai! I'll show you that I have the ability to join the band!"

Yuuki nodded and said, "Good, go and show me your ability." He felt strange when this girl showed such a serious expression when she was wearing such cute accessories on the top of her head.

Yukari and Rossweisse nodded and thought that this girl was very cute.

Azusa took a deep breath and entered the studio alone.

Yuuki along with everyone was in the recording room waiting for her to sing. He took the microphone and asked, "Have you decided what kind of song you want to sing?"

Azusa took the guitar and checked it for a while before nodded. She took the microphone and said, "Yes. I have decided which song I'll sing for this test."

"Oh? Really? Which song?" Yuuki was quite interested.

"It's a "Hanabira". The song which Yuuki-senpai has sung during the "Amateur Music Tournament". I have still remembered it the moment Yuuki-senpai has a song that song on that tournament. I can't forget about it and it is full of emotion," Azusa said when she heard his question. She could remember it and it was a very beautiful song.

"Oh, that song...." Yuuki nodded and started to have nostalgia. He sang that song when his relationship with Yaeko wasn't quite good and he had broken up with her because both of them cared about Shouko during that moment. They didn't want to hurt Shouko but in the end, it was because of this song that both of them knew that they loved each other and didn't want to separate. He couldn't help but grin when he thought that he would have dinner with Yaeko tonight.

They also noticed his grin and thought that Yuuki was quite interested in the choice of Azusa's song.

Yukari also remembered this song since she was beside him when he sang that song. Her cheeks couldn't help but turn red when she thought about the song that she had sung in the past.

"Is there something wrong with this song?" Azusa asked since Yuuki suddenly didn't say anything.

"No problem. I can't wait to see how you sing this song," Yuuki said. He thought for a while and said, "Oh, Azusa, can you wait for a while?"

"Yes," Azusa said.

Yuuki took his phone and called Yaeko.

"Yuuki, what's wrong?" Yaeko answered his phone call.

"Nothing. Let's listen to this song together," Yuuki said.

"Hmm?" Yaeko felt curious.

Yuuki looked at Azusa and said, "You can start."

"Yes." Azusa nodded and started to play her guitar slowly with a beautiful rhythm.

"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."

Different from Yuuki's voice which is magnetic and deep, Azusa's voice is quite soft but it also has different feelings from this song.

They couldn't help but enjoy this song while watching the girl who wanted to join the band working hard in front of them.

---

Yaeko was curious and suddenly she heard this song. She still remembered seeing his figure playing this song for her in front of millions of people. She couldn't help but sigh softly while smiling since it was also the song that made her realize her true feeling.

"Yaeko, what are you doing?" Satsuki asked.

"Shhh." Yaeko looked at her and told her to shut up for a while.

---

"Fuh...." Azusa had done her singing and took a deep breath since it was quite nerve-wracking. She looked at Yuuki and asked, "How is it, Yuuki-senpai?"

Yuuki closed his eyes and was still immersed in the song. The moment he heard her voice he knew that this girl could also become a singer. He had decided to accept her but he thought to tease her for a while. "Azusa."

"Y - Yes!!!" Azusa was quite nervous waiting for his response.

Everyone was also looking at him waiting for his answer.

Yuuki sat down quite relaxed then started to tell her where she had made a mistake one by one.

Azusa, who heard it, couldn't help but skip a beat and her eyes started to become red. She thought that she had been rejected.

Everyone also looked at him with an annoyed but also

"......." Yuuki thought that if he continued this girl might cry. He coughed and said, "Congratulations! You have become a new member of Hokagou Tea Time!"

"......"

"Really?" Azusa looked at him in surprise.

"Yes." Yuuki nodded.

"Yay!!!!!"

Everyone was happy and started to hug Azusa.

Yukari who was beside him couldn't help but ask, "Do we have such a high requirement?"

"No. Even everyone who has joined before is a complete newbie, right?" Yuuki said. He still remembered when everyone needed to practice every day when they would start their debut in "Amature Music Tournament".

"Then why are you saying that?" Rossweisse was puzzled.

"She is so cute that I can't help but bully her." Yuuki smiled.

"......."
