After all, Japan is not South Korea, and most of the artists and idols here are not provided with accommodation.
Afterwards, the group uploaded the recorded version of "Running Towards Night" to the platform, and then Kitagawa Yu and Ayako went downstairs together.
"Hey, what are you still doing here?"
As soon as Kitagawa Yu stepped out of the elevator, he spotted a somewhat lonely figure in the dim light of the vending machine.
"There are still some things I don't understand about those two new songs that I'd like to ask you about, Kitagawa-sensei, so I've taken the liberty of waiting for you here."
Hoshino Ai spoke very respectfully, her expression appearing quite natural.
Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu and Ayako, one knew her too well, and the other had long since developed a keen eye for discerning people through her years of battles with Yukiko, and they saw through her ulterior motives at a glance.
Ayako frowned slightly but didn't say anything. She simply turned to look at Kitagawa Yu.
Hoshino Ai came to see Kitagawa Yu, so even if she was unhappy, she wouldn't take the initiative and make decisions for Kitagawa Yu.
Moreover, she sensed from the beginning that Kitagawa Yu seemed to know Hoshino Ai and harbored strong and complex feelings for her.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Even though he was extremely fond of Hoshino Ai in his past life and felt incredibly sorry for her experiences, he wouldn't completely disregard Ayako's feelings because of that.
"Go wait for me in the car for a bit. I'll talk to her for a bit, it should be over soon."
Ayako felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and a gentle smile bloomed in her pure, jewel-like eyes.
"Okay, senior, we'll wait for you in the car."
With Ayako gone, only Kitagawa Yu and Hoshino Ai remained in the hall.
Their eyes met, and Hoshino Ai remained silent for a moment before finally abandoning her fake, formulaic smile and choosing to get straight to the point.
Did you know me before?
"Well, you could say we know each other, or you could say we don't. It's complicated, and I need to confirm a few more things," Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.
Although it has been confirmed that the girl in front of us is Hoshino Ai, this world is obviously not the world of "My Child Is My Push". After all, the Hoshino Ai in the anime was fourteen years old in the early 2000s and was still using an old-fashioned flip phone.
Therefore, he needs to confirm whether the Hoshino Ai in front of him will have the same experience as in the anime.
Hoshino Ai looked puzzled, not quite understanding what he was talking about.
However, given her advanced lying skills, she was able to confirm that Kitagawa Yu was not lying to her.
so.
Do you like me? Why are you so good to me?
Kitagawa Yu was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself that this personality was indeed very much like Hoshino Ai's!
Although both Hoshino Ai and Shimizu Yuna grew up in single-parent families, their experiences were completely different.
As a child, Hoshino Ai was often subjected to domestic violence by her mother until her mother was sent to prison for theft, and she was sent to an orphanage.
Therefore, she has always longed for love and to be loved.
She originally thought that becoming an idol would fulfill this wish, but unfortunately, after three years of hard work, although she has gained some fans, what those people like is just the false mask she wears to deliberately imitate those successful idols.
Those who saw through her facade all disliked her and ridiculed, slandered, and insulted her online.
This made her feel increasingly frustrated and lost.
If we follow the trajectory of her fate in the anime, her self-destructive tendencies become increasingly severe until she meets the villainous psychopathic killer, who tricks her into falling in love with him, and only then does she gradually improve.
Unfortunately, in the end, she was killed by her own fanatical fan at the very moment she was about to achieve her greatest happiness, thanks to the meticulous schemes of that twisted villain.
Thinking about this, Kitagawa Yu's emotions couldn't help but fluctuate violently.
"like!"
"Although your fake smile is cute, I prefer your true personality and the genuine smile that comes out unintentionally."
"As for why I'm nice to you, isn't it only natural that I'm nice to you because I like you?"
"Of course, strictly speaking, I should be considered your true fan who has grown up with you. I genuinely like you and sincerely hope that you can become a better person. However, rather than hoping that you can grow into a dazzling super idol or even a top artist, I hope that you can be happy and joyful. After all, that's what a true fan is!"
Hoshino Ai stared blankly into his eyes for a long time before she came to her senses, a strange expression appearing on her face.
"How do you know my true personality? And when have you ever seen me genuinely smile? You... you wouldn't actually be a voyeur who installed surveillance cameras in my apartment, would you?"
As she spoke, she exaggeratedly hugged her arms and trembled, looking as if she had been frightened.
"Your acting skills still need improvement," Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
However, he suddenly realized something was wrong. In the anime, Hoshino Ai went to a theater training class and met that psychopathic killer because she felt her acting skills were inadequate and wanted to improve them.
Thinking of this, Kitagawa Yu quickly said, "But right now, your most important thing is to sing well and dance well. You can't be distracted at all until you meet my standards, understand?"
Hoshino Ai tilted her head, looked into his eyes, and after a moment suddenly smiled.
"Although I can tell you're hiding something from me, I can feel that you genuinely like me and care about me, so I'll be a good boy and listen to you!"
"President Saito likes me because I can help him and the company make money."
“Nino and Watanabe both like that I can bring popularity to our group, but they also hate that I steal their spotlight.”
"Those fans like me because they like my face, my figure, and my carefully crafted sweet smile."
"Only you are different."
"Too bad you already have a girlfriend, right?"
"I wish you didn't have a girlfriend, then I would definitely pursue you!"
"Here's some red bean soup for you!"
"In exchange, could you please take me to the station? I think I left my umbrella in President Saito's car."
Hoshino Ai stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
At that moment, Kitagawa Yu's heart seemed to skip a beat.
He wasn't sure if Hoshino Ai had suddenly evolved, but he genuinely didn't see any pretense in her eyes.
Even the stars in her eyes seemed to shine exceptionally bright at this moment.
"Ring ring ring~~"
"I'm back~!"
I shook the rain off the umbrella, then folded it up and put it back on the umbrella stand.
Kitagawa Yu glanced at the wall clock, then at Chizuka and Elena, who were already eagerly speculating about which world they would be going to this time, before walking to the bar and pouring herself a cup of coffee.
There are still about twenty minutes until the CD refreshes for the active search, which is enough time for him to do some things.
"Murasame, are you there? I need your help with something."
Before he could finish speaking, a crimson mist, swirling like a vortex, appeared out of thin air before his eyes, just like before, only this time the mist seemed to be spinning much slower.
At the same time, Elena, who was not far away, suddenly changed her expression, pulled out her wand at the fastest speed, and teleported in front of Kitagawa Yu, assuming a defensive stance as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Oh no! Something has broken through my defensive barrier. It's probably incredibly powerful. You take Anya and Chizuka and get out of here quickly. I'll try my best to hold it off—"
Elena's anxious voice rang rapidly in Kitagawa Yu's mind, causing him to pause involuntarily.
Then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't had a chance to tell Elena and the others about Murasame.
Seeing the dazzling lightning gathering at the tip of Elena's wand, Kitagawa Yu felt a warmth in his heart and quickly reached out to pull her back.
"Yu, hurry up and go!"
"Um, she's not an enemy, she's my friend. I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand, I scared you."
Kitagawa Yu looked apologetically at Elena, then glanced at Chizuka, who also realized something was wrong, shielding Anya behind her with one hand and pulling out a pistol from somewhere with the other, and explained with a wry smile.
"What?! You scared me!"
Chizuka let out a long sigh of relief and put the gun away again.
However, Elena was not so easy to talk to. You know, she, who was nicknamed the "scumbag witch," rarely showed such courage!
The thought that she had actually gone against her long-held principles for the sake of that despicable Kitagawa Yu, and faced this seemingly formidable enemy, filled her with both shame and anger.
The key is
She's the youngest genius witch in her country's history, so she wasn't scared at all!

"hehe!"
Elena turned her head and glared at him fiercely, the lightning on her wand growing brighter and brighter.
At this moment, even though Kitagawa Yu knew he was wearing the Conan-brand magic immunity necklace and that Elena wouldn't be so ruthless as to kill him, he still couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I was really wrong. Next time I'll definitely tell you in advance!"
Although he felt he hadn't done anything wrong, Kitagawa Yu still clasped his hands together, lowered his head, and wisely adopted the correct posture for admitting his mistake.
However, Elena did not let him off the hook.
"And next time?"
"Uh, there won't be a next time, absolutely not a next time!"
"How many friends do you have that we don't know about? Well, I'm just worried about accidental harm again, nothing else!"
"Well, the only one who can break through the barrier should be Murasame."
"Muramasa?" Elena muttered softly, then continued with a stern face, "What about those that can't break through the barrier?"
Kitagawa Yu was taken aback.
If you can't break through the barrier, what's the point of asking?
"Oh dear, Onii-chan, you're so silly! Elaina-neechan just wanted to ask if you have any other close female friends~"
"."
Not far away, Anya peeked out from behind the sofa, shaking her head and speaking loudly.
In an instant, the air seemed to become quiet.
