Haru immediately awakened all the girls.
The girls who were sleeping also got up, their sleepiness also disappeared immediately when they knew that Umi had disappeared.
After all, Umi was known for her diligence, and as long as she didn't encounter tsunami or landside, she would definitely wake up all the girls, but now, it was already half-past seven, and she didn't do anything which was quite strange, or rather the situation might be quite serious.
In truth, Haru knew where Umi was, or rather when Kotori had helped him last night, he knew that Umi was moving around which made him a bit startled and wondering whether Umi knew what he had done with Kotori, but it seemed that wasn't the case, however, even though he knew where Umi was, he needed to pretend that he didn't.
Everyone moved out in a group to search for Umi, and just as he and Rin stepped out of the villa, they heard Nozomi's voice from the second floor, shouting, "Haru, I have found Umi!"
---
Haru came to to the study room on the second floor and looked at Umi, who was sleeping on the table and let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing Umi was safe and sound, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
"But why did Umi come here to sleep? She is also sleeping on the table, nyaa," Rin asked in confusion.
Kotori blushed and wondered whether Umi knew that she and Haru had done a perverted thing together, if so, then she wasn't sure what to do and could only hide behind him, and at the same time, she also realized that Nozomi, Eli, and Maki had been looking at her thoughtfully which made her face turn red.
"Let's just wake her up," Nico said, after all, it was better to ask Umi directly what Umi was doing in this place. She stepped forward and was about to shake Umi's shoulder, but as she moved, she was immediately caught by Honoka and Rin.
Honoka: "Idiot!"
Rin: "Stupid, nyaa!"
"You two are the ones who are stupid! How dare you call the world's most intelligent Nico stupid?!"
Nico's round eyes widened when she was scolded by Honoka and Rin for being an idiot and she felt that she had been greatly insulted.
"Stop, don't fight."
Haru made a silent gesture and said, "Umi looks tired, so let her sleep for a while." He then looked at Rin and Honoka and said, "You two are surprisingly considerate today, you two should be like this every day, you know." If both Rin and Honoka could be like this every day, then no one would be worried about them anymore.
"Haru, what are you talking about?"
Honoka puzzled and said, "If Umi-chan wakes up now, she'll tell us to train again, it is a rare time for us to go on a trip on the beach, of course, we have to have fun!"
Rin nodded several times and said, "That's true, nyaa!"
Nico was surprised, but then she nodded thoughtfully. "I see, then we don't need to wake Umi up."
"..."
Haru was speechless and he was lost for words.
When everyone was about to go out, Umi suddenly moved slightly which caused everyone to feel surprised, and her lovely appearance made him unable to look away for a moment, but she didn't wake up and continued to sleep, but she moved her left arm slightly, and a piece of paper dropped from under her arm.
"What is this?"
Haru took the paper and read what was written there. In the paper, there was a string of words written there, and he read it subconsciously.
(BGM: Natsuiro Egao de 1,2, Jump!)
"Summer wing
Flying High, Summer Wing
Why did tomorrow's heart-pounding excitement appear to me… What should I do?
Catch it, Shinin' more, Dreamin' more
We'll have so much fun!
Wings sprout out, taking my heart above the clouds
Lured to a distant sky, a distant beach
Speed up and F.L.Y!!"
Haru was surprised and said, "This is a lyric!"
Maki took the paper directly from Haru's hand, read it carefully, and nodded. "This is definitely a lyric for the new song written by Umi."
"Well, it is definitely Umi's style, and she also added the concept of summer to her song."
Haru was quite surprised since he planned to let all the Muse take a holiday, but with this song, it seemed that it was better to create another PV for their new song. He thought for a while and wondered whether he should bring all of them to his Lanai Island since his yacht was ready already.
His subordinates had told him that his yacht was ready and it was docked on the port in Chiba.
Haru then made up his mind and nodded since he wanted to spread Muse's influence further.
"Umi must have been inspired last night and then came to the study room alone after she wrote the complete lyrics, she fell asleep directly since she felt tired."
Nozomi reproduced what probably happened last night with the narrative.
With her voice, everyone seemed to be able to see a blue-haired girl who seemed to be working really hard behind the scenes and because of that, it made everyone turn silent.
"Let's... let's go training..." Hanayo said in a soft voice.
Maki: "I'll take the lyrics first, and I will create a suitable score based on the lyrics as soon as possible."
Eli: "I will go with you too, and see if I can find inspiration for choreography."
Honoka smiled and raised her hand with a smile. "Then it has been decided! Let's train together!"
Nico: "Hmph! Who said that we didn't need to wake up Umi so she could play around earlier?"
Honoka: "What are you talking about? You might mishear me."
"..."
Watching the girls rush to training noisily, Haru smiled that everyone was really diligent and as their producer, he was very happy, but he also knew that he might have lost his chance to tell everyone about his relationship
At this moment, Umi was awakened, probably because of the voice of everyone, looking at everyone in a daze, her amber eyes were half-opened, and when she saw Haru, she asked, "Haru, what time, is it?"
"Let me see..." Haru pretended like he looked at the clock and said, "It's just at four in the morning, it's still early, you should go back to sleep." He then closed the curtains quietly, and Umi, who hadn't fully awakened, seemed to not notice his movement at all.
"Then I can sleep for another hour..."
Umi murmured and closed her eyes again.
"Go to bed and sleep."
Haru said, but Umi didn't move.
"Sleeping in a bed is not only more comfortable, but it also helps you to recover faster from the physical fatigue, only when you sleep well, that you can have more energy to exercise in the morning."
Haru said gently, and Umi got up from the chair, as if sleepwalking, with both of her eyes half-open and half-closed, she staggered to the bed on the study room, and fell over with a "bang".
"At least, you should put your quilt before you continue to sleep..."
Haru was helpless after he saw that Umi didn't show movement. He bent down and covered Umi with a quilt. From how Umi was, he could tell that Umi was very tired, but he knew that it was normal since, among all the nine members of Muse, each of them had a unique characteristic and what Umi represented was hard-work.
If someone wanted to compare a Muse with a car, then Nozomi was the one who created the car, Honoka was the one who steered the car, and Umi was the gasoline that powered the car. It was because of her hard effort that she led everyone by example and gave everyone motivation to move forward.
"But now, you should take a good rest."
Haru came out of the study room and closed the door, but then he saw everyone on the outside, which surprised him since he thought that everyone had already gone on a train.
"Haru, don't you have something to announce to everyone?" Nozomi asked with a smile.
"...."
In truth, everyone wanted to go on training directly, but they were stopped by Nozomi and she told them that Haru had something that he wanted to announce which made them curious about what he wanted to say to all of them.
Haru was looking at Nozomi, who gave him a beautiful smile, then he looked at Kotori, who seemed nervous, but he gave her a reassuring smile as if telling her not to worry.
"Well, there are two things that I want to announce," Haru said.
"Two?!"
Not only everyone, but Nozomi, Eli, Maki, and Kotori were surprised since they didn't expect that he had two things that he wanted to announce.
"The first thing that although all of you have been doing very well for the past few months, you still lack professional knowledge, so I have thought to invite a professional teacher to train all of you and I've also prepared a place for you to train besides the shrine," Haru said.
"What?!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard it.
Haru raised his hand, telling them not to be surprised, then said, "I know that you might be surprised, but I also have a talent agency now, so if possible, I hope that you all can sign on my talent agency, but you don't need to worry about the contract since I won't do something bad to all of you and once you've returned, please consult this matter with your parents whether you're going to join---"
"We will join!"
Everyone said without hesitation.
Haru was surprised and asked, "You should talk with your parents first, Honoka. I also haven't given you the contract."
Honoka shook her head and said, "No, I believe in you so you don't need to worry."
Rin raised her hand without hesitation. "Me too, nyaa!"
Nico was flushed in excitement. "Ar - Are we going to become actresses?"
"...."
The girls were in shock since they didn't expect that they would sign on to the talent agency, and they also didn't need to doubt Haru's credibility since they were in the presence of the biggest mogul in the world and they also had known him for a long time, so they didn't need to worry.
Based on his whim, it was also possible to create a movie for all of them.
Well, Haru might not have made a movie for them, but an anime was possible.
"For the details, let's talk later when we have returned from Enoshima," Haru said.
They nodded and knew that it wasn't a good time to talk about this matter.
"Then lastly, I have something to announce again," Haru said.
Everyone was curious what Haru was about to say, but...
Haru pulled Kotori to stand beside him and said with an awkward expression.
"In truth, I started to date Kotori last night."
Kotori was very shy and blushing, but she was very happy, holding his hand tightly.
"....."
Except for Maki, Eli, and Nozomi who had prepared themselves, the rest were too dumbfounded to say anything.
