Chapter 1860 - Crow (2/2)
”....” Sakura.
”Well, we're going on the trip later, right?” Sakura asked.
”Yes.” Utaha nodded and said, ”But we'll need to go to the summer Comiket first.”
”Summer Comiket, huh?” Sakura rubbed her chin and wondered whether it was an interesting place, but well, she was healthy now, so she also wanted to visit that place.
”Well, if you want to visit summer Comiket, then you need to ask his permission first,” Utaha said.
”.....” Sakura pouted.
”Shh, Iwasawa is about to sing,” Sora said.
”Oh!”
Everyone quickly focussed on the television and watched how Iwasawa sang, but the moment they watched her, they felt like their minds were blown away.
---
Iwasawa closed her eyes and sang with all of her might and feeling.
”With all my power, I'm about to collapse.
My fingers are worn out and in pain,
But, still, I'll perform. Tonight will be a big story.”
This song had a long meaning to Iwasawa. When she wrote this song, she poured all of her emotions, feelings, experiences, past, present, and future into the lyrics, which was why everyone could feel the emotion that she wanted to express in this song.
In the past, before she met him, she didn't live in a good place, or rather, every day was hell for her, and the reason why she could have a hope to live was that she listened to a song in the music store. In her gray world, where everything was vague and when she had never thought about her future, that song gave her a light, giving a color of her world.
In the beginning, everything wasn't good. She sang on the street with the guitar that she got from the street. It was secondhand, but for her, who had nothing, it was something very precious. Her journey wasn't smooth, but just singing saved her from her misery, and her meeting with him was probably the best thing that happened in her life.
The reason why she could stand and sing in front of a lot of people and receive their cheers, she knew that it was because of him.

”She's so amazing...” Suzune said in amazmenet.
Everyone also nodded, but they didn't react that much since they were all affected by Iwasawa's song.
Haru looked at Iwasawa and didn't expect that she would grow so much. When she sang this song, he somehow could see that all of the members of the Girls Dead Monster had become crows, soaring in the sky, chirping happily, without anything to trap them.
”To create art is to convey something, huh?”
”What's wrong, Haru?” Ritsu asked.
”Nothing.” Haru shook his head and said, ”It's an amazing song.”
”Yeah.”
Haru knew that it was only a time before Iwasawa would grow even more beautiful, and his job was to protect her since he knew that all the characters of the Angel Beats were very unlucky.
---
Iwasawa was like a bird, who was trapped in the cage, but now, she had broken that cage, flying freely in the sky. Even if she might be a crow, the most hateful bird, she could soar in that sky with everyone.
”Even you must also be tired.
I want to send this to that back of yours
From within the pitch darkness,
The song of light that gleams with hope…
Yes, that song.”
With those last lyrics, Iwasawa ended her song.
Iwasawa was full of sweat, and she was quite tired, but her face was full of smiles., especially after...
”OOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!”
Everyone cheered loudly.
Iwasawa wanted to meet him now.
