Chapter 1291: After The Rain
Single debut song.
It was the most important thing before Iwasawa started her debut.
"I have."
Iwasawa nodded without hesitation and said, "Let's go to the studio. Let me sing the song for you."
"Good."
Haru nodded without hesitation.
Everyone was looking at each other before all of them went to the studio on the underground of the cafe.
Everyone gathered in the studio and watched Iwasawa who was holding her guitar.
Haru looked at Iwasawa and asked, "You're going to create a rock band, right?"
"Yes." Iwasawa nodded and said, "The genre of my band is rock." She looked at him and asked, "In your opinion, what is the best genre for my band?"
"It's rock," Haru said without hesitation since he also thought that Iwasawa was more suitable to sing a rock song.
"Yeah. I know that you know me the best," Iwasawa said with a smile.
"..."
Everyone who heard Iwasawa felt that her words seemed quite misleading, but they didn't think too much.
"So what is the title of this song?" Haru asked.
"Crow Song," Iwasawa said. She thought for a bit and said, "Wait a moment, I'll take the lyrics and the music score from my room."
Haru didn't say too much and watched Iwasawa who ran toward her room.
When Iwasawa had gone out, Yuri couldn't help but ask, "Haru, is it only me or you don't want Iwasawa to debut so early?"
"Yeah, you're right." Haru nodded and said, "I don't want her to debut too early."
"Why? She's ready and I'm sure her songs are great," Kosaka said. She knew Iwasawa's talent at singing and she knew that Iwasawa would become a great singer, but then she thought of something.
"Is it the pressure of media or something? If it's something like that then there's nothing to worry about, right? You're a mogul in this country after all."
Everyone knew that Haru's business was mostly related to media and he could control a lot of things and even hide a lot of things easily since he controlled the media.
"If it's the media then it isn't a problem, but the real problem is Iwawasa's parents." Haru looked at everyone and said, "What do you think will happen once Iwasawa becomes famous? What will her parents do?"
"..."
Almost everyone forgot about it, but Iwasawa ran away from her parents because of how abusive her parents were.
"What are you talking about?" Erina asked with a frown.
Unlike Erina who was clueless, Kosaka, Yuri, and Shiina understood what had happened to Iwasawa's family.
"I'll tell you later," Haru said.
"Well..." Erina nodded and didn't force him to talk about the details.
"Is there something that you can do, Haru?" Yuri asked.
"With money, there are a lot of things that can be done, but this is Iwasawa's parents after all and there's no way that I'll do something similar to yakuza or action movie to them," Haru said.
"....."
"I was joking," Haru said.
"..."
"Just for reference, what can you do with the money?" Yuri asked.
"I can ask someone to trap a random guy in a barrel that is filled with cement before turning this person into a fish pellet for the fishes in Tokyo Bay," Haru said.
"..."
It might not be related, but he had done this kind of thing several times. The first one was the robbers that had done cruel things to Yuri's family and the second was the group of young men who wanted to **** Yuri at that time.
Haru didn't need to do it by himself and could ask his subordinates to do it by paying someone to do the dirty jobs for him.
Looking at Yuri, Haru was wondering why this girl was so unlucky. The robbery incident was one thing, but the **** incident at the underground concert at that time was also another unfortunate event for her which made him sigh.
If he wasn't there, then he wasn't sure what her fate was.
"Haru, you don't need to worry about such a thing. I'll handle it myself."
Suddenly Iwasawa entered the studio and her eyes were red since she felt that she was really lucky to have someone who was worried about her this much.
Waving his hand, Haru said, "You don't need to worry about such a small thing. If you want to debut then let's debut. I'll help you."
"But..." Iwasawa wanted to say something.
"My words might make you worry, but there are a lot of things that can be done with both money and law," Haru said.
"Law?"
Everyone was looking at Haru curiously.
"But first, let me ask you what do you want to do with your parents? If your dream is to work with my company then you don't need to worry about your parents, but if you want to become a popular singer... you need to know what you want to do with your parents," Haru said.
"Just for reference..." Kosaka looked at Haru and asked, "If Iwasawa's parents know that their daughter has become a famous singer then what will they do?"
"Money."
"Money?"
"They'll take all the money Iwasawa has and then exploit her to become their money piggy bank," Haru said.
"....."
It sounded so simple, but it was so cruel since they felt Iwasawa's parents were cold-blooded parents who didn't care about their daughter!
Iwasawa sighed in relief and said, "So it is only money..."
"....."
"Iwasawa, is that alright with you? You'll be exploited by your parents!" Yuri said since she was worried about her friend.
"It's alright. I just love to sing and it isn't about money," Iwasawa said.
"....."
"Haru..." Yuri looked at Haru since she didn't know what to do after this.
"Iwasawa. You don't need to worry. Just sing all you want and do your best. I'll be your shield and protect you from anything," Haru said.
Iwasawa's eyes were red and nodded. "...Thank you." She looked at him and felt happy, but...
"Is it really alright?" Erina asked worriedly.
Haru patted Erina's head and said, "It's alright. You don't need to worry about Iwasawa's parents."
"Then why did you have to mention this to her?" Kosaka asked with a frown since she felt that this method was too cruel.
"Because she needs to know that being a popular singer isn't that easy. Before you enjoy the rainbow, you need to endure both storms and rain." Haru looked at Iwasawa and said, "That rain and storm have passed and now, you should enjoy the beauty after the rain."
"Yeah!"
Iwasawa didn't hesitate and started her song!
(BGM: Girls Dead Monster - Crow Song).
"There's a wall of shutters behind me.
My fingertips smell like iron.
Moving forward! Strum those strings! It's crowded, at any rate.
Find a way from here."
Haru watched Iwasawa and he decided to protect this girl no matter what!
