What Is Love? [UtaPri: Ai Mikaze Fan Fict]

Rejections

"Rejections"

Today, we will introduce Haruka Nanami.
The remarkable composer of STARISH.
She was invited to Saotome's office...
There she walked in... and found Quartet
Night sitting inside, speaking to Saotome.

"Um.. excuse me?"
Haruka shyly speaks.

"Oh, Ms.Nanami. Come in."
Saotome calmly told her.

"Oh, okay."
Haruka walks in gently, Reiji
eyeing on her with a smile.

"Domo, Haruka-chan!"
Reiji greeted her as she
sat down.

"Uh.. d-domo..?"
She hesitatingly greets back.

"This is Quartet Night."
Saotome says.

"Oh.. Starish's mentors, hm?"
Haruka smiles at the thought.

"Hai! I'm Tokiya-kun and Otoya-kun's
  mentor! They're really good boys~!"
Reiji happily informed her.

"I see!"
Haruka happily smiles at him.

"Now I'll tell you why I called you all
  over here. This is a project to help
  promote my dear Quartet Night."
Saotome grins as he speaks.

"A project to promote us? No offense
  but, we can do that by ourselves. We
  don't need her help. I can guess that's
  what you are thinking." Ranmaru
 directly speaks with his thoughts.

"Ran-ran! That's so rude!"
Reiji frowns at him.
"Gomenosai, Haruka-chan!"
He apologizes to Haruka.

"Oh no.. it's okay.."
Haruka says.

"We are not actually a group. We most
  often work individually. Is it really neccessary
  to do this?" Camus questions.

"Groups only make things complicated and difficult.
  I've calculated the possibilities of failures and time
  that will take to perfect everything. As a group, that
  would either take forever or never. It's better to work
  by ourselves." Ai suggests as he explains.

"(They sure are rough eh..)"
Haruka comments in her mind.

"Well, Ms.Nanami. I'll give you a chance to convince
  one of them to let you become their composer. If you
  convince them as a group too, I'll give you AND STARISH
  a special reward. Okay?" Saotome cheerfully informed
Haruka, ignoring the negativity of Quartet Night.
