Origami and Mana looked at each other, and Origami reluctantly explained to her what happened.

"Oh, so you two are fans of Meijiu." Guan Meng said happily, "Old man, I am also a fan of Meijiu. This is a rare opportunity, why don't you come in and have a seat, and let's have a good chat."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

"As expected of a Meijiu parent, you are always reasonable."

"Grandma, I don't think this is the point of the problem..."

Seeing that Guan Meng didn't seem to understand the situation, Zhen said with a blushing look on his face.

"It's fine."

However, Guan Meng just shook his head calmly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and showed a friendly smile.

"I, your grandmother, will try my best to persuade them."

……

Somewhere in Japan, a disaster area that was destroyed by the global air disaster seven years ago.

Thanks to people's efforts, civilization and vitality have reappeared on this barren wasteland. In one of the rebuilt dome stadiums, tens of thousands of spectators are looking forward to their idols' appearance.

"The concert will officially begin in half an hour. Are you ready, Miku?"

After checking the time on his phone, Subaru Kurumiya asked Miku who was sitting in front of the makeup mirror.

"Of course, no problem at all."

"That's good."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Murasakibara looked in the mirror at Miku, who was dressed like a fairy-tale princess, and couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile.

“Honestly, when you said you were going to do a charity concert for the disaster area and donate the money you earned, I thought I had misheard. I didn’t expect it to gain so much popularity and even get sponsorship from Ratatoskr.”

"Haha, maybe I have more talent and brains to be a manager than Miss Subaru."

Miku said proudly. To this, Kuribayashi Subaru said unhappily.

"It was just an accident. Don't get carried away."

Sticking out her tongue playfully, Miku looked at herself in the mirror and spoke softly.

"I used to say this: 'Idols are people who bring courage, dreams, and hope to their fans.'"

"To be honest, I really looked down on the idol profession at first. I thought it had no privacy, was hard and tiring, and had no benefits at all. But later I changed my mind."

Miku did feel that her singing in the past had a power that could touch people's hearts. She did not indulge in self-expression alone, but tried to share her joy with fans through her singing.

"I'm very happy now. However, there are only a few people as lucky as me. There are many people in the world who are immersed in sorrow because of disasters. Unfortunate people will only feel angry when they see happiness that has nothing to do with them, right?"

"Miku..."

Unexpectedly, Miku would say such a thing, and Subaru Kurumi's eyes widened in surprise.

“That’s why I came here. Even if it’s just a tiny bit of strength, I want to use my singing to bring courage and hope to everyone. To let everyone know that there is more to this world than despair and sadness.”

Feeling Miku's sincere feelings, Subaru Kurumiya closed his eyes and said with deep admiration.

"It seems that I am indeed the superficial person. Miku, you are now undoubtedly a true idol."

"Ms. Miku, there are still ten minutes until the concert starts."

At this time, the staff suddenly issued a notice.

"Looks like it's almost time to start. Just in case, let me confirm again. Are you really ready? You won't lose your motivation just because Ms. Guan isn't here, right?"

"How could that be? I'm not a child anymore. Grandma is not in good health, how can I force him?"

As she said this, Miku stood up from her chair lightly.

"Then, I'm off."

"Well, come on."

……

—Tit-tat! Tit-tat!

The high heels landed on the ground, making crisp sounds beside her ears. Meijiu lifted both sides of her dance skirt with both hands and stepped onto the stairs one by one with brisk steps.

The corridor was not long, and she soon reached the end. The moment she passed the exit, the bright light made Mijiu squint her eyes.

Slowly opening his eyes, Mijiu was greeted by the vast and gorgeous stage and the deafening cheers and shouts of tens of thousands of spectators in the distance.

(I really miss it...)

Looking at everything that was already familiar to her, Meijiu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

I remember a similar scene when I first performed at a concert a few years ago, but that time, Mijiu felt more fear.

This is the expectation for the "Miku" of the past, and it is also a pressure that is far beyond imagination for Miku, who is performing officially for the first time.

Can I play the role of Yui Miku well? Will I fail? What will happen if I fail?

Due to excessive nervousness, Mijiu couldn't remember the lyrics and dance steps she had practiced in advance. She stood awkwardly under the spotlight, enduring the stinging gazes of fans.

To be honest, Mijiu at that time had never been so eager to recall her past memories and let her past self deal with everything.

(but……)

——Mijiu…Come on~Mijiu…Come on~

To this day, Meijiu still remembers it clearly: a familiar old lady and her family were sitting in the front row of the audience, waving their light sticks slowly without paying attention to the atmosphere around them.

If it weren't for this, Yuiya Miku probably wouldn't be standing on the stage like she is now.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Miku smiled and began to sing in a gentle tone.

The stage fell into silence, and the audience stopped cheering at the same time, feeling the tenderness in Mijiu's singing.

Observing the reactions of the audience, Miku continued to express her feelings through singing.

Once, she naively wanted to ignore everything and tried to hide in the paradise and enjoy herself alone.

Afterwards, she competed with her past self out of spite, wanting to gain everyone's expectations and recognition.

Finally, she realized how precious everything she had was, accepted herself as she was, and was determined to pass on the kindness she had received to others.

(--Um?)

Just as the concert was about to come to an end, for some unknown reason, a light snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.

But soon, Meijiu noticed that these were not snow, but unknown points of light, like gorgeous fireflies, embellishing the dark night sky.

There was some commotion on the stage, and the audience seemed to interpret this as some kind of special stage effect created by the organizers, and they cheered in amazement.

Without responding to the audience's cheers, Miku simply cupped her hands gently, trying to hold the falling light spots in her palms.

However, at the moment of contact, the light spot evaporated and turned into light dust and dissipated.

(So ​​warm...)

Mijiu didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness or discomfort. It was as if she had fallen into a warm embrace, making her feel extremely comfortable.

——Tick!

“Eh… weird… why am I… uh… ah…”

Surprised at the inexplicable tears that were flowing down her face, Mijiu kept wiping her tears.

However, at this moment, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

45 If Line Separation and Intertwining Lovebirds (Part )

==============================

In the eyes of others, Yamai Yakuya and Yamai Yuzuru are undoubtedly a pair of very good sisters.

They lived together, played together, grew up together, sat next to each other at meals, went to the same school, were in the same class, and even lived in the same room.

Looking at them, one can't help but think of the legendary lovebirds, who always stay together wherever they go.

But at the same time, in the eyes of Tohka and other acquaintances, the Yamai are a pair of extremely stubborn sisters.

They have different personalities, different hobbies, and even the social circles they interact with are very different.

So, even though they seem to be in love, people can't help but wonder if they are secretly having an ambiguous relationship that goes beyond family ethics. But in fact, they often have disagreements over trivial matters.

Of course, they didn't quarrel because of this. When they couldn't agree with each other, they would use games to solve the problem. The one that impressed Tohka and others the most was that not long after they were discharged from the hospital, the two spent more than a month and had dozens of duels to decide who was the older sister of the twins. In the end, they were evenly matched, and the two insisted on not giving in, so in the end, it ended in nothing.

"They are both so clumsy."

As the guardian of the Yami sisters, Guan Meng, she said this with a helpless smile.

——————————————I am the dividing line for scene change————————————

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the sky from the distant distance is dyed with a layer of quiet twilight red.

As the evening breeze blew, the curtains in the classroom swayed like waves. The rays of light filtered through the gaps, flickering and swaying in the empty and silent classroom, as if conveying some unknown message, mysterious and weird.

“Kuku——”

Being in a classroom that seemed like a different dimension, the girl couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and let out an evil laugh that seemed to be driven by madness.

"The time of the devil has come, and the boundary between the living and the dead has become unclear. Therefore, the demons in the underworld will sneak across to the other side and harm others for their own selfish desires. In order to protect the place of survival, the living and the demons will fight. In the end, the world that has experienced three Fingal Winters will be riddled with holes and will end under the sunset of Ragnarok. Then, the next round of reincarnation will start again, and everything will start over again..."

The girl sighed, then sat down on the second to last seat by the window, leaning lazily against the back of the chair.

"Battles have never changed since ancient times..."

He looked out the window with playful eyes, as if he was watching a world completely different from what the world knew, and he revealed a sarcastic smile.

——Clang.

Suddenly, the door of the classroom opened. A girl with a similar appearance walked in and asked calmly.

"Question. What is Yakuya doing in an empty classroom after school?"

In response to Yui's question, Yakushi turned his head, slowly raised his hand to cover his right eye, and chuckled in a chanting voice.

"Kuku - you're asking even though you already know the answer. It's my half body."

"I am the host of the Devil's Eye of Judgment, walking on the inner side of the world, and the judge of the Libra order. Naturally, I must remove the 'filth' that has infiltrated the outer side of the world when no one is around."

"Suddenly. I was just having a normal fantasy."

Yui nodded in understanding, and Yakuya covered up with a bit of embarrassment.

"Ku——It's fine. It would be too boring if the world could see the truth so easily. Speaking of which, Banshengyo——the battle is almost over, and meeting each other is fate. Why don't we return to the base together?"

Is he waiting for me to go home together? Looking at Yakuya who was inviting me in a roundabout way, Xixian couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I agree. Yui also wants to go home with Yakuya."

"Kuku——You are so frank in wanting me. You are such a lovely fellow. My half body."

"Rebuttal. Yakuya is obviously cuter."

After an unconvinced retort, the two stared at each other's faces. The warm sunset lightly sprinkled on their red cheeks, which made people smile knowingly.

……

"My half, the agent of Hypnos has just summoned you to her city. What is the matter?"

On the way home, Yakuya asked Yui curiously.

By the way, Hypnos's agent is Teacher Ayata who teaches them mathematics. Every time she attends class, Yakuya will be hypnotized by her overwhelming arithmetic formulas and fall asleep with drowsy eyes and shaking head.

After being called out in class and embarrassed once, Yakuya arbitrarily gave her the name of the goddess of sleep in mythology.

"Answer. A discussion about career path."

Xixian replied.

"Have you received the invitation as well?"

Hearing what Xixian said, Yajuya raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised.

"Well, it is indeed a pity that my loveliness and talent are confined to such a small place."

Seeing Yakushi's smug look, Xixian couldn't help laughing.

"Inquiry. How are you, Yakuya? Have you decided to continue your studies or find a job?"
