Characters: Rimi

510 Words

As the New Staff reminisces about their lonely high school years they stumble upon a girl practicing by herself.

--

"Hm? New Staff, you're still here?"

"Yeah, yeah, I am. I just...wanted to get more practice in, that's all!"

"Okay then... We'll be hanging out at the mall later. Wanna come?"

"Oh sorry I, um, can't."

"...alright. See you later then."

"See you."

"..."

...

I enter the studio room, knocking before I enter. 

"Hmm... Maybe if I play it like this?"

I hear a soft bass line playing along with a recording. I stop to listen.

"Ah, I did it...!" The girl breathes a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll try it one more time rom the top-"

Without thinking I start to clap. The girl jumps, looking to my direction.

Oh, it's Rimi. She's the bassist of Poppin'Party. 

"Eek! Were you watching me?!" She starts to frantically pick up her bags and case. "Sorry, I'll pack up immediately..."

No, it's fine. I was just coming to see if everyone was done for the day. Is there anyone else here?

Rimi shakes her head. "I had trouble today with the phrase I was just practicing... I know why though..."

Really?

"It's because I still need more practice." She looks down. "You think so too, right New Staff-san?"

Not really, it seemed pretty okay.

No, it sounded okay to me, at least.

"...Huh? Really?"

Really.

"You think it'd sound good live?"

Yeah, sure! There doesn't seem to be any mistakes, and people will barely hear it anyway. It sound, to me at least, pretty good!

"Ahh~," she looks down, embarrassed. "S-stop being so kind...!"

Hahaha. But seriously, it sounds good.

She looks up at me. "...I feel so embarrassed... but, thank you."

...

"New Staff! Wanna come hang out with us? We're going to grab something to eat!"

"Come with us! It'll be fun."

"... Sorry, but I can't. I have...stuff to do."

...

"I'll practice more and more, and get better at the bass..." Rimi grips her bass. "I hope that someday I can play as cool as my sister does..."

Her sister? Oh, Yuri-san from Glitter*Green.

"That's kind of my goal." I blink.

That's nice.

"...Umm," Rimi fidgets with her fingers. "Do you mind if I stay and practice a little longer? If I'm in the way just tell me and I'll move...!"

Of course. I can watch your performance, if you'd like.

"Oh! Uh, I'm not sure I want you to watch..." She puts her hands together. "I...I still feel a bit nervous, so..."

O-oh, okay then. 

"...Sorry I'm being so selfish."

N-no, it's my fault. I'll leave you alone.

To be honest, I kind of understand the feeling.

"...Thank you!" She looks up at me and smiles. I feel my cheeks start to heat up.

"I'll keep practicing really hard, so that we can play a big concert one day!"

A big concert...

"You can watch me play then!"

...

A smile forms on my face.

Yeah, I'll be watching.

...

...

"They're practicing alone... again?"

"Yeah, it's been the third time this week."

"They always go here after school.  It's kinda...sad."

"Haha, right? They aren't even in a band or anything."

"What a weirdo."

...
