"Hmm...no problem." Takamatsu Akari nodded slightly and answered Riki's question softly, but her face was still a little pale.
“If you’re scared, it’s okay to run away,” Li Xi said, looking very seriously into Gao Songdeng’s eyes.
“Because, we, Mygo, are a band that will keep moving forward even when we are lost, aren’t we?” Li Xi said softly, leaning against the railing.
“I…I’m not good at being in crowded places…especially with so many strangers,” Takamatsu Akari said softly, but her eyes held a hint of determination: “But, it’s okay…”
"I don't want to run away anymore, I want to face it—"
"Besides... Xiao Mu and Xiao Xiang will be with us too, so it's fine..."
Gao Songdeng's firm words startled Li Xi slightly. Then, she gave a relaxed smile.
"Yes! As for the lamp, there shouldn't be any problem." She straightened up and waved to Takamatsu Lamp. "Well then, I'll head back now."
……
Bathed in moonlight, Sanjiao Chuhua walked home, her expression blank and her gaze deep.
"I... I really can't get close to Xiaoxiang now, Hatsune... Don't repeat the same mistake. Have you forgotten the fact that you caused Xiaoxiang's father to suffer?"
[You are a sinner, why don't you learn your lesson? Do you want to repeat the same mistake?]
Chu Hua silently warned herself... Absolutely, absolutely not, can she repeat the same mistake again.
...But she couldn't do it.
I really want to see Xiao Xiang.
But... if I go to see Xiao Xiang, what will happen if Xiao Xiang finds out about Chu Hua?
Although Momoi Taro hasn't told Xiaoxiang about the existence of Mitsuba and Mitsuba yet, is that really okay? She's placing all her hopes on Momoi Taro.
The answer is obvious... How can I get close to Xiao Xiang without harming him?
She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried... But there was one thing she knew, and that was...
Sanjiao Chuhua trembled as she took out her phone and opened the pinned chat... There were only a few words in the chat box.
She trembled as she pressed the button to initiate a voice call.
……
As Su Shi emerged from RiNG, her phone rang.
Su Shi picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was a Line call from her mother. She quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Mom? What's wrong?"
"Su Shi~ Where are you now?" Mom's slightly exaggerated voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
"I didn't see you when I came out of the live show." Su Shi's forehead broke out in a light sweat from her mother's words.
"Speaking of which, have you seen me?"
"Of course there is," Su Shi answered affirmatively. She kept looking at her mother on the right side of the stage, but she was too embarrassed to turn her head to look over there because she was crying so hard that she was too ashamed to face her family.
"I saw a different Su Shi today~ Mom is so happy." The mother's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with excitement.
"By the way, Su Shi, where are you now? If it's convenient, how about we go home together?"
“Yes! I’m at the entrance of RiNG now…” Before Su Shi could finish speaking, Ms. Nagasaki said urgently, “Then, Su Shi, wait for Mom at the entrance, Mom will be right there.”
Before Su Shi could reply, the call ended. Su Shi wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Mom, really..."
Although she complained softly, Su Shi had a smile on her lips. She was really happy that her mother came to see her live performance.
Today will probably be another unforgettable day. Su Shi held her phone, looking at the hundreds of photos that had appeared on it, selecting the best ones to add to her memory album…
……
“I want to go too—” Aine said earnestly to Momoi Taro, “If it’s about writing lyrics, so be it! I’m going tomorrow too.”
“…I didn’t object.” Taro calmly replied to Aine’s words. Aine smiled and tried to stick close to Taro, but Taro pressed her head down with one hand and pushed her away.
She staggered back two steps, glaring at Taro with displeasure. Just as she was about to say something, Taro's phone rang.
Taro unabashedly took out his phone in front of Aine, and the screen displayed the name "Matsumi Miku".
"Mitsune Miku...?" Aine stared wide-eyed at the name on her phone, wondering to herself, "Could it be Hatsuka's real name?"
Many celebrities use stage names, and I knew about Aine, but she didn't know what was going on and didn't show any particular emotion.
Seeing Taro answer the phone in front of her, she felt a little flustered and didn't know what to do.
"Hello... Is this Mr. Momoi?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little different after being transmitted over the phone, but Aine was certain that it was the voice of her idol, Hatsuka.
"It's me. What's up?" Taro answered calmly.
"Mr. Momoi, is there anyone else with you? If so, I would like to speak with you alone."
"Someone..." Taro had just started to speak when Aine waved her hand and said, "Well, I'm already home, so I'll go back by myself. Taro and Ms. Misumi can have a good chat."
Her smile was radiant and completely genuine. Taro nodded, watching her leave, then said, "There's no one here now. What happened?"
"...Mr. Momoi, could you contact Hatsuka and arrange a meeting?" Misaki Miku's voice trembled: "I need to...face her."
Avemujica - Prelude
#1, The Beginning
Ding dong, ding dong
The doorbell rang again... But Misaki knew who was coming from the other side of the door.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and slowly opened the door. Just as Misaki Miku had expected, standing outside the door was none other than Momoi Taro, who was wearing a red coat.
Momoi Taro's figure blocked out all the moonlight shining through the door, and the shadow cast by his tall figure completely obscured Miku's body.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Taro casually took off his shoes and walked into Hatsune's house, completely unaware that this was someone else's home.
Originally, Taro Momoi would have arrived earlier, but he had to go see RAS's live performance, so Misaki Miku had to wait quite a while.
"No..." Misaki Miku forced a smile. "I just made some coffee. Would you like some?"
"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony." Taro straightened up and sat on the sofa. Miku Miku brought coffee from the kitchen and handed it to Taro.
Taro took the coffee, picked up a sugar cube from the sugar cube jar, and poured it in: "Let's get straight to the point! Was what they said on the phone just now true?"
"Hmm..." Miku Miku gently bit her lip, looking down at the cup in her hand. The coffee in the cup was like a mirror, reflecting her truest self.
The reflection of herself on the coffee cup is haggard, with a broken look in her eyes. If this were a casting call for a tragic protagonist, Miku Miku would be very confident that she would get the offer.
Unfortunately, this is reality, and these are her most genuine feelings.
Misaki Hatsune Miku 2 Yishan Wu Qi Jiu 6 3 2... That's what the outside world calls her, but her real name is Misaki Hatsune Miku.
Hatsune Miku, who stole her sister's name and came to Tokyo, also stole her sister's dream.
I was a little uneasy for the first few days... but Chu Hua didn't call me, so there was no questioning or anything.
To be honest, she was really relieved. It was so good that she didn't have to face it.
However, not long ago, this man brought devastating news... his sister had arrived in Tokyo.
She didn't know why her sister had come. Was it to question her? Or was there some other reason?
Her instinctive cry made her want to escape it all. Would it be better to pretend she didn't hear what was being said?
Is it enough to just leave each other alone and do nothing?
Misaki hesitated for a moment, but not long ago, when she watched the live performance of Mygo, the new band formed by the most important person in her life, Toyokawa Shoko, she found her answer.
Back then, Xiangzi's smile truly showed his happiness.
Miku Miku has a secret.
Her true identity is actually Spider-Man (crossed out), and she is actually the illegitimate daughter of Toyokawa Shoko's maternal grandfather.
Having been warned by her mother since childhood never to get close to Toyokawa Shoko, she disregarded the possible consequences and approached her.
...in the identity of Misaka Chuka.
After that, a small change occurred, and she ran away from home. After running away from home, she came to Tokyo.
Still under the identity of Misaka Chuka...
She became an idol, and then said some things she shouldn't have to Xiangzi's father, causing Xiangzi's father to be kicked out of the house.
All of this is my own fault.
Having committed this mistake, he still wanted to hide his identity and stay by Xiangzi's side...
I should have left, I shouldn't have gotten any closer...! But I just can't... I hate... this part of myself...
If, as before, I have to remain silent and wait, waiting for Chu Hua to confront me at any moment, shattering my current life like a bubble...
The thought is terrifying, so Miku Miku finally made up her mind: before Xiangzi finds out, she will either confess everything or... resolve everything!
Of course, it's not about doing anything terrible, but at least talking to the person involved.
Even so, this was not an easy decision for her, but for Xiaoxiang's sake, she had to do it. So, she called and arranged to meet with Momoi Taro, hoping he could talk to Hatsuka and let Hatsuka meet her.
"You want to meet with Hatsuka, right?" Momoi Taro's calm voice snapped Misaki out of her reverie. She nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed so.
"After you asked me, I went to ask Hatsuka." Momoi Taro's next words greatly excited Hatsune, but she still maintained basic restraint and asked somewhat eagerly, "So, what did Hatsuka say?"
"No, that's what she said." Taro's simple words shocked Chu Hua. She looked at Taro in disbelief and slammed her cup on the table.
What? It doesn't work?!
She asked anxiously, "Why...? Why doesn't Chu Hua want to see me?"
"Could it be... that she wants to tell Xiaoxiang directly...!?" She grabbed Taro's collar, hoping for an answer. Seeing that she had completely lost her composure and calm, Momoi Taro frowned.
"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Toyokawa?"
Taro's words brought Chu Hua back to her senses a little... She apologized softly, "Sorry, I got a little agitated."
"No, it's nothing." Taro didn't seem to care much. He picked up the cup, took a sip, and put it down.
"Hatsuka...did she tell Mr. Momoi why she didn't want to come see me?" Hatsune still seemed a little anxious.
"Yes!" Taro answered without hesitation.
"Why?" she asked, growing increasingly nervous.
