Chu Hua shouted excitedly; her favorite food was hamburger patties.
After we sat down at the dining table, Dad and my older sister Hatsune were already there.
However, compared to these things, her attention was drawn to the hamburger patties on the table.
"Chuhua, do you remember what day it is today?" her father said in a gentle voice.
"It's my sister's birthday!" she shouted.
"It's also your birthday. Remember that, and say it when you're out." He said in a strange, commanding tone.
"But my birthday isn't today." Chu Hua pouted slightly.
At that time, she didn't understand why her parents pretended to be twins, even though they really looked alike.
Her parents would compensate her on her birthday, which meant she celebrated her birthday twice. It didn't really matter, but sometimes it just felt strange.
"Why are you home so late today? Everyone's waiting for you," the father said.
"Hehe, it's a secret." Actually, Chu Hua went to the beach to collect seashells, and then used her spare change to buy a rope to string the seashells together, just to give them to her sister as a birthday present today.
However, she wants to give everyone a surprise, so she can't reveal it now.
"Mmm, Mom's hamburger patties taste so good," Chu Hua said happily.
“Eat slower, learn from your sister, you’re like a wild girl,” the father scolded.
This made Chu Hua feel a little unhappy. In her eyes, her older sister was not like a child who grew up on an island. She had a kind of inexplicable tranquility, which was somewhat similar to her mother, but quite different from her.
When I ask her to go out, she rarely goes out and prefers to stay at home, and I don't know why.
And... Dad prefers a well-behaved and quiet older sister...
Before we knew it, everyone's hamburger patties had been eaten up, leaving only a small piece of hamburger patty, probably a scrap left over because it wasn't enough for a full patty.
Chu Hua naturally wanted to take the small hamburger patty, but her father said, "Give this hamburger patty to your sister; it's her birthday today."
"But...but there are so many other dishes, and my favorite is just hamburger patties," Chu Hua exclaimed.
"How about we split it into two pieces, one for each of you sisters?" Mom said gently.
"Let's give it to Hatsune Miku, it's her birthday today." The father gently shook his head.
Chu Hua looked at the hamburger patty. Actually, she was already full and didn't really want to eat it, but... but after hearing her father's words, she angrily picked up the hamburger patty and stuffed it all into her mouth in a few bites.
"Chuhua!" the father called out in an angry voice.
But Chu Hua's eyes were already brimming with tears as she cried out, "Dad, you're always like this, you only ever spoil my sister!"
After saying that, she angrily threw the seashell necklace from her pocket to the ground and ran back to her room.
With a click, as if a scene from a movie, the triangle was frozen in that instant.
Then, three more teenagers appeared in the living room.
The now-adult "Misumi Hatsuka" said to Shoko and Banami, "This is the daily life of the Misumi family. When I was little, I didn't understand why my father made my sister and me pretend to be twins."
Why does she always favor her older sister?
Later I learned that my sister and I weren't biological sisters with the same parents. My father didn't want my sister to be criticized by the islanders, so he had us pretend to be twins.
Then, Xiangzi and Banami looked at Hatsune and sneered: "Dad always thinks more about my sister. After all, she's the one who's best at playing the victim."
She had a quiet, gentle style just like her mother. Her father preferred her older sister to me, the wild child.
The birthday party that night ended badly, and in the end, I never gave Hatsune Miku the seashell necklace I had prepared for her. Or rather, I never prepared a birthday gift for her again.
As Banami and Shoko listened to Mikasa's accusations of injustice against her father, their sense of unease grew stronger.
Because, although she is Hatsune Miku, she is now accusing herself in the voice of her younger sister.
Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, Hatsune Miku, who was sitting next to the table, disappeared, and even the chair she was sitting on was gone.
After all, what Hanami created was a world "without the triangle of Hatsune Miku".
Then, as if Miku Miku had never existed in the world, and in the Miku Miku family that Miku Miku had never existed, the birthday party continued.
"You can have the rest of the hamburger patty, Chuhua."
"Wow, thank you, Daddy! Daddy is so good."
"Thank you, Mom. She works very hard cooking too."
"Yes, I love Mom and Dad the most! Today is the happiest birthday I've ever had!"
The three looked at the Miku house without Miku Miku. Miku Miku said to Banami and Shoko, "See? As long as Miku Miku isn't there, Dad won't have to deliberately favor my older sister, Mom won't always be torn between her two daughters, and I won't always have to grow up in an environment where I feel unfair."
Xiangzi pursed her lips slightly, her throat trembling slightly: "But the person you're denying isn't your sister, it's... yourself."
Chu Hua shook her head slightly and said, "I've already said all this, but you still firmly believe that I am Hatsune Miku."
Seemingly frustrated by her childhood friend's lack of understanding, Chu Hua gently waved her hand, and the scene began to change.
"Chuhua, your singing is so beautiful, it's simply heavenly!"
Xiangzi saw his own small self under the night sky, holding Hatsune Miku's hand, and said excitedly.
"SAKI-chan, do you really think I sing very well?"
"Of course, Chuhua, let's go to Tokyo someday, and sing there together!"
The scene freezes again, with Chu Hua looking at Xiangzi with a slightly reproachful expression.
Xiangzi, on the other hand, lowered her head in shame. She was completely unaware of the difference between the two sisters and couldn't recognize them at all, otherwise...
Then, the girl waved her hand gently, and the night sky transformed into a triangle, with little Xiangzi holding the hand of Xiao Chuhua lying on the bed.
Banami and Shoko know that this is the future "without Miku ...
"SAKI-chan, I'm sorry, I... I couldn't keep our promise."
But little Xiangzi held her hand tightly and said, "It's okay, Chuhua, look, I've come to your door."
"Hatsuka, you must get better. You sing so beautifully. When you're better and all grown up, come to Tokyo. I'll definitely treat you well."
Chu Hua, who was running a fever, was so moved that she wanted to cry: "Yes, when I grow up, I will definitely go to Tokyo, and I will definitely... I will definitely reunite with you, Xiao Xiang!"
Two innocent little girls made the purest promise.
However, the next moment, this scene was torn apart by "Triangle Hatsuka".
“Miss Xiangzi, you should understand now, right? If Hatsune Miku hadn’t impersonated me to keep the appointment, you probably would still have come to my door out of concern for me.”
Then, we will still make the promise to meet again in the future.
Xiangzi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, because in the background of this scene, Toyokawa Mizuho was leaning affectionately against Misumi Nao, and Toyokawa Kiyoko and Hatsuka's father also seemed to be having a very happy conversation.
If... there were no Misaki Miku, the Miku family and the Toyokawa family would probably be able to maintain a very good relationship.
Instead, the Toyokawa family came to the island for vacation, but Nao Misaki still ignored Toyokawa Mizuho, whom she had raised, and even asked Hatsune not to let her see Shoko.
If Miku ...
Chapter Twenty: The Girl Who Shouldn't Exist
Hatsuka showed what she envisioned for the future without Hatsune Miku.
It seemed that everything was moving in a better direction.
"Triangle Hatsuka" looked at the girl in front of her and said in a low voice, "So, Miss Xiangzi... Xiang, in your eyes, between me and my sister, who is your true childhood sweetheart?"
Is it the original me, or Hatsune Miku who impersonated me and later fulfilled her promise to go to Tokyo?
"I..." Xiangzi's eyes wavered slightly. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer this question.
Hatsune Miku, or Hatsuka? What should she choose?
Banami promptly took the girl's hand and comforted her.
"I...I don't know," Xiangzi said in a low, sincere voice.
Chu Hua chuckled lightly upon hearing this, seemingly without blaming the other party.
After all, it wasn't Xiangzi's fault to begin with. The fault lay with someone else, because the existence of that girl caused everything to go in a terrible direction.
"If Dad hadn't been trying to buy you a gift, he wouldn't have drowned at sea!" Chu Hua, who looked a little older than an elementary school student, scolded her older sister with a slightly ferocious expression on her face.
That was a scene from my father's funeral.
Then, after their father died, their mother took them away from the island and came to Okinawa to work for others, working from dawn till dusk every day just to support the two sisters.
Her body became increasingly frail.
Banami and Shoko exchanged a glance and finally understood why Sankaku Nao was hospitalized—it was the pain she had endured.
Chu Hua said to the two of them with a cold smile, "If it weren't for Hatsune, after Dad died, Mom would even have had the option of going to the Toyokawa family as a backup plan."
But precisely because Hatsune Miku's existence couldn't be discovered by others, my mother had to raise us so painstakingly. For a single mother, two children were simply too many.
Chu Hua clenched her fists tightly, waved her hand heavily, and the scene before her eyes completely disappeared.
Then, Sanjiao Chuhua's father returned safely from the sea, and her mother continued to take care of the family. The three members of the Sanjiao family continued to live happily on the island.
Until Mikami Hatsuka grew up enough to say, "Mom and Dad, I want to go to Tokyo and reunite with Saki-chan."
Then, the couple in the triangle would genuinely smile and say, "In that case, how about our whole family moves to Tokyo?"
The scene freezes in black and white, and Mikami Hatsuka says to the two of them with some excitement: "If it weren't for Hatsune Miku, our family of three would be very happy. In fact, because of our relationship with the Toyokawa family, we could easily move to Tokyo, and the future of the Mikami family would be even brighter."
If... there were no Miku ...
As Banami and Shoko looked at the "Triangle Hatsuka" in front of them, desperately denying their sister's, or rather, their own, existence, they couldn't help but feel waves of sadness in their hearts.
"Triangle Chuhua" is criticizing her older sister.
Miku ...
She said coldly, "Miss Miku is a jinx. Wherever she goes, she only brings misfortune to others."
Hearing her words, Xiangzi became inexplicably angry and said, "What you're saying is really too much. Even if it's Hatsune Miku, I wouldn't allow you to belittle yourself like that."
To Xiangzi, the assessment that someone is a jinx who brings misfortune to others was incredibly tragic.
However, a strange smile appeared on "Triangle Hatsuka's" face.
"What are you... laughing at?" Xiangzi asked, somewhat annoyed.
If it were Hatsune Miku she knew, she definitely wouldn't have shown such a smile.
"You don't know this yet, Xiao Xiang, but part of your misfortune is also caused by Miku Miku."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Xiangzi said angrily.
"Triangle First Blossom" simply waved gently, and then, another scene appeared.
"Dad?!" Xiangzi exclaimed softly as he looked at the familiar, refined man in a suit in front of him.
This appears to be a banquet at the opening ceremony of a shopping mall, and Miku Miku is still wearing her performance costume. However, Xiangzi sees her father, Toyokawa Kiyoshi, saying angrily, "Father-in-law, you made a mistake in this matter. Since you are his daughter, he should take good care of you. He shouldn't have abandoned you."
I will try my best to persuade my father-in-law about this matter. Wait for my news.
"Thank you so much, really, thank you so much, Uncle Qinggao."
Miku Miku felt genuinely grateful to the middle-aged man in front of her.
Then, the scene froze at that moment, and Chu Hua looked coldly at Feng Chuan Xiangzi and said, "You should know better than me what will happen next."
Because he violated your grandfather's taboo, he treated your father's situation coldly and even personally kicked him out of the house.
After your mother died, Toyokawa Kiyotaka, who had always wanted to be your pride, was devastated.
She's a scoundrel. If she hadn't pretended to be innocent and asked for help everywhere, Toyokawa Kiyoko wouldn't have ended up like this.
Miss Xiangzi, you won't be dragged down with her either.
Do you know why she's been hiding this from you? Because, you see, she simply doesn't have the courage to tell you. She's just that kind of dark and timid girl.
Xiangzi shook her head gently, looking at "Chuhua" in front of her with some disbelief. This was the first time she had ever heard of these things.
Banami immediately pulled Shoko into her arms to calm her down, saying, "Shoko, don't panic. Think carefully. If you knew, what would you do..."
"me……"
Xiangzi suddenly realized that she had just been flustered by the unexpected information she had received.
She looked up and took a deep breath: "Thank you, Xi."
Then, she said earnestly to the girl in front of her, "Knowing about this, I... am actually a little happy about Dad's reaction. If it were me, upon hearing this, I would make the same choice as Dad when Hatsune asked for help."
