~ 望濃ツグミとアッターゴルナール ~
Golnar had always treasured her friend, Tsugumi Mino, a royal from a nearby kingdom. She had always visited her best friend every day without fail. Tsugumi had become very precious to Golnar as she was her only true friend in the whole world, it seemed for the lonely princess. The pair would do all sorts of activities together, such as browsing the royal gardens which bloomed magnificently; painted vividly with colors one can only dream of, and practicing singing together, voices complementing each other; Golnar’s mature, calm voice backing up Tsugumi’s sweet, delicate voice. Golnar never minded being a backup vocal to Tsugumi; she was happy just bringing out Tsugumi’s voice. That’s how it had always been. Golnar in the background with Tsugumi taking the spotlight; Golnar wanted to bolster her dear friend’s popularity within both her and Tsugumi’s kingdom. Golnar didn’t care for her own favorability, she was content with helping out her only friend.
One night, Golnar decided to spend the night over at Tsugumi’s palace, as she had done many times, but the princess didn’t know what her friend had in store for the night. As the pair finished playing a round of various card games, Tsugumi sighed.
“I don’t want to be a royal,” She spoke quietly, staring at the ground.
“I don’t want to be a royal either, but what are we going to do about it?” Golnar inquired, brows knitted.
“Can’t we just run away?” Tsugumi asked, hopeful.
“I somehow doubt that we’ll get very far…” Golnar muttered, crossing her arms.
“But Golnar, we won’t know unless we try!” Tsugumi snapped. Golnar was taken aback by her friend’s tone, but she quickly composed herself. She thought for a short while.
“…If you want to run away, you’ll need a foolproof plan,” Golnar replied after a few moments.
“That’s the thing, you see….I actually already planned to leave tonight,” Tsugumi confessed.
“T-Tonight? Of all nights?” Golnar asked, eyebrow raised.
“Think about it: tonight, both of our parents will be busy negotiating with another foreign kingdom. There’s hardly anyone here,” Tsugumi started. “Plus, Kimu told me to follow my dreams. Remember that song, Stargazer? She was the one who sang that song to me when I was younger…and I dream of becoming and idol, you know this, Golnar.”
“Yes, I know very well…” Golnar replied, giving a closed eyed smile.
“Why don’t we both become idols? I’d like for my best friend to join me on my adventure!” Tsugumi mused, smiling.
“M-ME? An IDOL?….alright, if it makes you happy, I’d like to join you,” Golnar spoke confidently.
“Then it’s settled! Let us leave under the cover of darkness…Kimu got us a boat ready tonight, we’d better get going!” Tsugumi beamed.
“Jeez, you couldn’t wait a little longer?” Golnar groaned, getting her items ready for their departure.
“Hey, Golnar?” Tsugumi started.
“Can you sing with me one last time before we leave?” Tsugumi asked.
“Of course, let me guess, Stargazer?” Golnar smiled.
“Yeah… you know me so well!” Tsugumi gushed. And so, the pair, ready with all their belongings, promptly left the palace, singing along as they went far, far away, and now, their legacy begins to unfurl before their very eyes.

Happy birthday, Tsugumi! I hope you like my drawing and story to go along with it. Btw, Kimu is an anagram for Miku, as Miku is the original singer for Stargazer… I hope that was a nice touch to the origin story! Anyway, happy birthday! ^_^ Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, I really appreciate it!
With Love,
