🎶春日の響きと記憶の音 — Chapter 38

🌸✨ In this alternate universe, Mio and みお are twin sisters, set in a unified world where the virtual singers of Crypton Future Media, Team TWINDRILL, INTERNET Co., Ltd., and the characters of Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku coexist. 🌙🎶 💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 The Final Note Before Departure The air still carried the lingering rhythm of the fitting session. That sensation, gently pulled by the stage’s flow, had gradually settled into a stable calm. Megurine Luka sat quietly on the side, adjusting small details. That rhythm still felt like it remained within her. Kamui Gakupo gently adjusted a strap on her outfit. At the moment their fingertips lightly touched— she paused for a beat. Then resumed. “Thank you.” “As it should be.” MEIKO clapped her hands softly. “Alright, final check.” KAITO nodded. “Costumes, accessories, backup items—check everything once more.” Rin immediately became energized. “Final check starts!” Len smiled. “Almost felt like a presentation ceremony today.” Kasane Teto stretched. “This kind of pressure is pretty unique.” Miku chuckled softly. “But it actually feels reassuring, right?” “Yeah.” --- Mio was inside the room. She stood by the document board, confirming the final details. Then she looked up. “Alright, listen.” Everyone’s attention naturally gathered. Not pulled— but naturally returning to her. Mio opened the file. “Today, everyone has confirmed the outfits are fine. We’re ready to depart.” Her tone was steady. No exaggeration. But the entire space instantly shifted into a “completed state.” She paused. “Is everything packed?” Everyone nodded. Confirmed. Nothing missing. --- みお stood to the side, observing everyone’s reactions. Then she smiled softly. “If everything is ready…” She lifted her gaze slightly. “See you at the airport tomorrow.” --- The air paused briefly. Then slowly settled. This was not the end. But the final confirmation before departure. --- Rin murmured softly. “…It’s really starting.” Len smiled. “It already started long ago.” Miku clenched her hand gently. “Now—it’s finally going to be seen.” Kasane Teto smiled. “Then let them see it.” MEIKO nodded. “Don’t forget who we are.” KAITO responded calmly. “Preparation complete.” Mio looked over everyone one last time. “Then—see you tomorrow.” --- The atmosphere completely shifted. No longer fitting. No longer rehearsal. But the night before departure. Everyone began packing. Cases closed. Lights slowly turned off. Sounds faded, yet remained orderly. Kamui Gakupo picked up Megurine Luka’s suitcase. “Let’s go.” Luka nodded. “Yeah.” And followed. The door opened. Night air flowed in. Bringing distance—and destination. No one looked back. Because everyone knew— the next time they gathered again, it would no longer be here. But on the other side of the stage. --- Melayu Nota Terakhir Sebelum Perjalanan Udara masih membawa sisa irama daripada sesi fitting. Rasa itu, yang dipandu lembut oleh aliran pentas, sudah perlahan-lahan menjadi tenang dan stabil. Megurine Luka duduk diam di sisi, menyusun perincian kecil. Irama itu masih terasa seolah-olah tinggal dalam dirinya. Kamui Gakupo membetulkan sedikit tali pada pakaiannya dengan lembut. Pada saat jari mereka bersentuhan ringan— dia berhenti seketika. Kemudian meneruskan semula. “Terima kasih.” “Sudah sepatutnya.” MEIKO bertepuk tangan perlahan. “Baik, pemeriksaan terakhir.” KAITO mengangguk. “Pakaian, aksesori, barang simpanan—semak semuanya sekali lagi.” Rin menjadi bersemangat. “Pemeriksaan akhir bermula!” Len tersenyum. “Hampir rasa macam majlis pembentangan.” Kasane Teto meregangkan badan. “Tekanan macam ini memang lain daripada biasa.” Miku ketawa kecil. “Tapi sebenarnya rasa menenangkan, kan?” “Ya.” --- Mio berada di dalam bilik itu. Dia berdiri di papan dokumen, menyemak perincian terakhir. Kemudian dia mengangkat kepala. “Baik, dengar sini.” Semua orang secara semula jadi memberi perhatian. Bukan ditarik— tetapi kembali kepadanya dengan sendiri. Mio membuka fail. “Untuk hari ini, semua orang sudah sahkan pakaian tiada masalah. Kita sudah bersedia untuk bertolak.” Nada suaranya tenang. Tiada keterlaluan. Tetapi seluruh ruang terus masuk ke keadaan “siap sepenuhnya”. Dia berhenti seketika. “Semua barang sudah siap?” Semua orang mengangguk. Disahkan. Tiada yang tertinggal. --- みお berdiri di sisi, memerhati reaksi semua orang. Kemudian dia tersenyum perlahan. “Kalau semuanya sudah siap…” Dia mengangkat pandangan sedikit. “Jumpa esok di lapangan terbang.” --- Suasana menjadi tenang seketika. Kemudian perlahan-lahan stabil. Ini bukan penamat. Tetapi pengesahan terakhir sebelum perjalanan. --- Rin berkata perlahan. “…Sudah betul-betul bermula.” Len tersenyum. “Ia sudah lama bermula.” Miku menggenggam tangan. “Kini—kita akan dilihat.” Kasane Teto tersenyum. “Kalau begitu, biarkan mereka lihat.” MEIKO mengangguk. “Jangan lupa siapa kita.” KAITO menjawab tenang. “Persiapan selesai.” Mio melihat semua orang buat kali terakhir. “Kalau begitu—jumpa esok.” --- Suasana berubah sepenuhnya. Bukan lagi fitting. Bukan lagi latihan. Tetapi malam sebelum berangkat. Semua orang mula mengemas. Kotak ditutup. Lampu perlahan-lahan dipadam. Bunyi menjadi semakin sedikit tetapi teratur. Kamui Gakupo mengangkat beg Megurine Luka. “Jom.” Luka mengangguk. “Ya.” Dan mengikut. Pintu dibuka. Udara malam masuk. Membawa jarak—dan destinasi. Tiada siapa menoleh ke belakang. Kerana semua orang tahu— apabila mereka berkumpul semula nanti, ia tidak lagi di sini. Tetapi di sisi lain pentas.
