The answer to Kotone's question didn't come from Akira, but rather, a certain somebody who looked a little familiar. 

The certain somebody was a senior around the school who she could have sworn she saw doing some investigation work. Probably about Miss Okamoto, since she was big talk around the school not that long ago. She saw him around from time to time and recognized his face, but she didn't know him personally enough to just go up and strike a conversation with him. 

Speaking of conversations, he contributed that, in other words, Akira would have more luck just playing on a street corner than actually getting gigs. It made Kotone frown a bit to hear Akira call herself "not good enough".

[color=758fff]"Don't sell yourself short. You play better than some adult musicians I've seen."[/color] She told her, finishing the statement by eating some of her lunch. Granted, it wasn't many and they were all amateurs, which Kotone and Akira [i]technically[/i] classified as, but Kotone meant what she said. 

Her attention turned to Hakuro. [color=758fff]"Nice to see a new face. Who are you?"[/color] She asked him. Better to get a proper introduction than to be left guessing, right?
