I Was Confessed To And Got Dumped, So I Devoted Myself To My Hobbies, But Things Somehow Got Out Of

Chapter 8: The childhood friend's attack and the 2nd twitter account

"What in tarnation!?" 

I took a look at the smartphone screen and let out a scream that sounded like an old man. 

The song I uploaded on Youtubo last night on my account called "Hartman" , Blue Elfin, exceeded 1 million views in a single night. 

I uploaded it with the comments disabled, so I don't know what people are saying about it. 

I did something regrettable. 

Blue Elfin. 

It's a blue flower with petals that look like butterfly wings when they bloom, so it's also called Blue Wing or Blue Butterfly. 

In the language of flowers it means "A large hope". 

The good title might've been effective. 

"Well in the meantime, congratulations on 1 million views."

I congratulated myself. 

I thought about wanting to make the next song. 

"But, it took me 2 years just to make 1 song."

The time I thought about wanting to make a vocaloid song was back in my 2nd year of middle school. 

It was around the time I just completed "Mission". 

If I remember correctly, it was due to my childhood friend's influence.

How nostalgic. 

*Ding dong*

Without a care that it was 8am, the doorbell rang. 

I don't think anyone notified me they would be coming over today. 

Is it a surprise attack by Tenrai-kun? 

While thinking that I opened the door. 

"Hm? there's no one here." 

I went outside and took a look around, but there was no one there. 

"I didn't think anyone would still ding dong dash these days."

Dang, I should've looked into the interphone instead. 

I returned to the living room while reflecting on what happened, and there was someone there. 

They were lounging on the sofa in front of the tv. 

It was like they were here from the start. 

"Yo." 

"Haa…  Why do people around me keep coming over with no notice- Konoha!?" 

There was a beautiful girl with semi-long black hair. 

This was exactly the aforementioned childhood friend that got me into vocaloid, Umine Konoha. 

She says in an emotionless voice. 

"I properly rang the doorbell." 

"Can you please stop coming in without me noticing!?" 

She probably came in when I was looking around outside after ringing the doorbell.

Isn't she too fast? 

"Rather than that, I brought over a good vocaloid song today." 

Konoha goes to a different school from me and Tenrai-kun, it's a school that requires a higher standard score. 

She sometimes comes over like this to introduce new vocaloid songs. 

"You don't have to come over every time, you know? You have LIME, right?" 

"It's too much trouble to use it. And it's much more fun to meet up directly like this."

"That's true, but…" 

"In my school no one really listens to vocaloid, so I have no one to really talk to. That's why with Haruto as a sacrifi-... venting partner I can talk as much as I want." 

Don't make me a sacrifice… 

But I am grateful for Konoha introducing me to this great genre called vocaloid. 

"I got it, so which song is it?"

"This, [Blue Elfin]." 

Bfft!? 

"What is it?" 

"Nothing." 

Isn't that my song? 

"It's a song that just came out yesterday, but it's a wonderful song. The music and lyrics match well, and really resonate in your heart."

Ooh,Thank you. 

"The fact that it already has 1 million views is proof of it's popularity. Have you already listened to it, Haruto?" 

"I've listened to it." 

"This song is really amazing."

"Thank you." 

I reflexively said my thanks. 

"...? Why did Haruto thank me?" 

Konoha tilted her head.

Un, I should properly tell Konoha. 

Since it was her who introduced me to this wonderful genre called vocaloid after all. 

"I made this song." 

"Ha?" 

"Hi?" 

"Fu?" 

"He?" 

"Ho?" 

"Why the Ha row?" (TL Note: Ha row as in the row for Ha in Hiragana, Katakana, or just vocal practice in japanese lessons.) 

Konoha is severely shocked. 

it's rare for her, who's always calm and unreadable. 

"Evidence." 

"This is my account [Hartman]." 

"...It's the real one. I thought it was a coincidence." 

My phone was taken at the speed of light. 

"Autograph."

"N?"

"Give me your autograph." 

"Didn't you change your mindset too fast?" 

"I'm sure this song is gonna become famous. I will become the number 1 fan." 

"I haven't decided on an autograph yet though." 

"Mu…" 

Konoha puffed up her cheeks in disappointment. 

"Will you continue making songs from now on?" 

"Of course, although I think it will take some time." 

"Let me take a listen once you've completed it." 

"I don't mind, but why?" 

"Because I'm the number 1 fan." 

If she's going as far as to say that, it makes me happy. 

"I got it." 

"Then I'll go home." 

"Eh? That was it?" 

"Today seems like it's gonna be a good day." 

She said that, and left without me even having the chance to stop her. 

"... anyways, I got a fan?" 

That's all I could think about. 

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

[Make a twitter account.] 

A few minutes after Konoha left for home, a LIME message from her came. 

"Even though she said that writing messages was a pain earlier." 

I let out a small laugh, and replied with a [Roger.].

[Make it restricted] 

"Won't making it be meaningless, then??" 

[It's fine, so just make it.] 

Her pressure is amazing. 

I gave in, and quietly opened up twitter. 

I started making a new account. 

This time I didn't leave it with the default profile picture. 

"Let's name it [Hartman] and we'll make the profile picture a [Blue Elfin]." 

I was able to finish making it faster than when I made my account for "Haru" 

"I made the account." 

When I said so, I sent the username in a message to Konoha. 

[A follow request has arrived.] 

And a notification from twitter immediately arrived. 

Fast-!? 

"It's just written plainly in English letters as [Konoha], should I just push the [accept] button?" 

[I did it.] 

[Thank you.]

Was the reply. 

So this is all good then. 

Should I just leave it restricted as she said then? 

"Well then, what should I do today?" 

In the meantime, I started thinking about what to do today. 

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

"To think that [Hartman] was Haruto…" 

A girl with semi-long hair muttered as she skipped while walking. 

"I'm the number 1 fan!" 

In the smartphone in her hand, the twitter account of [Hartman] was displayed. 

Followers: 1 

The girl showed a happy smile. 

" Would it have been better to tell him that I was a singer?" (TL Note: would it be better to use singer or utaite here? since utaite is more of a sub genre of singers where they're mostly active online, but the only available translation for the word itself is singer.)

The girl muttered to herself. 

Haruto didn't know. 

That his childhood friend Konoha was the super popular singer [Konoha].
