The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

Regardless of that haggard, sallow complexion.

[He looks like a zombie... Did this guy go out at night doing something idols shouldn't do?]

A brain that isn't sharp enough because of staying up all night.

[Seriously, why is this guy just spacing out? Where's his professionalism? Who's he trying to fool with that look on his face?]

Because of being busy, I often can't find time to train or keep up with my schedule.

[It's her again... She's dragging so many people down!]

After that, a sharp drop in popularity was inevitable.

Six months ago, after Shiori Hachiya resolved her mental meltdown, she planned to take a break, and her already limited popularity plummeted to rock bottom.

Since it was my own decision, I won't react too much to other people's ridicule.

However, she still wanted to hold one last concert.

It's not for better future development, but just to say goodbye to my few fans.

After all, as the only remaining psycho-type among the special-class, Shiori Hachiya, after weighing her hobbies against hero activities and realizing her indispensability, still chose hero activities.

Although Uncle Frozen Frame said that even if one Special Grade is missing, more Special Grades will be added in the future.

Furthermore, the National Hero Academy is about to open and enroll students, so the shortage of heroes will not be so severe in the future. However, Shiori Hachiya still feels that she should wait until the industry no longer needs her before leaving.

Every night she dreams of people who are genuinely grateful to her.

This city has entered the dreams of countless people and brought them beautiful dreams, weaving happiness that lasts only one night with her imagination and blessings.

But the praise and gratitude he received at that time far exceeded his achievements on stage over the years.

In her dreams, she wouldn't scrutinize people's posture with a magnifying glass, nor would she need any further training. She only needed to use her abilities to protect people's peaceful sleep.

Since that's the case, I might as well focus on becoming a superhero.

For Shiori Hachiya, professionalization is the choice that lies before her.

Should she continue to act as her omnipotent dream weaver, or continue to struggle on a road with no future as an idol covered in scandals?

It's actually a very easy choice.

However, looking at the girl in front of her, Shiori Hachiya for some reason felt a slight radiance emanating from her...

...retreat and resentment.

The other person was more like an idol, or rather, someone standing on a stage, than she was.

"Could you tell me the title of this song?" she asked, dispelling the strange feeling in her heart, before the elevator doors opened.

The latter simply showed a slightly regretful expression: "I'm sorry, this song was actually recorded with my friends, so it can't be found online."

“…Ah, I see. I’m sorry,” Shiori Hachiya said, then quickly added, “But it sounds really good.”

The other person's eyes lit up immediately, their expression quickly turning cheerful, and then they made a suggestion.

"Thank you for your compliment. Actually, if you don't mind, I can send you this song."

"Eh, is this okay?" Shiori Hachiya asked, somewhat bewildered.

The other person replied cheerfully, "Of course! Everyone will be very happy to know."

So, Shiori Hachiya added Nana Ohba on Line.

A few minutes later, the other party sent her a song.

The name is "よろしく九九组".

P.S.: The author who thought he could finish writing before midnight: How despicable.

good night!

29. STARLIGHT theater

In short, "Yoroshiku Kuku-gumi" is an upbeat song used for self-introduction.

The nine girls of Group 99 introduced themselves through their lyrics, not only leaving a lasting impression on listeners with their voices and singing styles, but also revealing their personalities through the lyrics. The characters are vividly portrayed.

For viewers watching the live stream, this song was practically a huge spoiler from Nana Ohba herself, and fans of the song were practically celebrating the New Year on the spot.

[Group 99, nine people, and the 99th Seisho Festival that Nana is always struggling with... This must be the main storyline of her origin story.]

[The members of Group 99 who appear in the song in the following order: Junna Hoshimi, Nana Oba, Futaba Ishidou, Kaoru Hanayagi, Maya Tendo, Clotina Saijo, Mahiru Rusaki, Hikari Kagura, and Karen Aijo, a total of nine.]

[I feel that Edison Chen will play a very important role.]

[After all, the main characters are always the ones who arrive late?]

[They seem to have similar personalities too]

What?! There are eight more beautiful girls like Banana?! I'm speechless!

I'm now certain that the origin story of "banana" will be revealed soon; otherwise, they wouldn't have released this song so readily.

[It feels like there's absolutely nothing related to battle in this song.]

[It's like a group of girls who love the stage getting together and spending every day happily together.]

["In short, I love the stage the most"—this statement, though straightforward, is truly wonderful; you can hear Banana's passion for the stage.]

So here's the question: Why isn't she with the rest of Group 99 right now?

The final barrage of comments ignited the discussion.

After all, the loneliness that Nana Ohba exuded was noticed by the audience almost every time she appeared.

A person was handing out flyers, hoping that someone would attend the 99th Seisho Festival, but it was never held.

Despite having so many friends in this cheerful song, we only see her with the members of Silver Garden, and never see Nana Ohba's other friends.

Could it be that……

...Is she the only one left on this stage?

Where did her friends go? To the next stage? Or are they no longer on stage?

This song is like a family portrait of the 99th stage girls, leaving only Nana Oba, who is left alone at the 99th Seisho Festival, listening to it with a nostalgic and lonely expression.

However, Shiori Hachiya's understanding of the song wasn't as deep as that of the viewers with an omniscient perspective. After all, she didn't know Nana Ohba, nor did she know that the other was actually a member of the Silver Garden. At the meeting, she was frozen in time from the very beginning and couldn't see the members' faces at all.

Her focus was on the other side.

Personally, she really likes this song, a cheerful song that praises the stage and the people on it.

A song has a soul.

Although Shiori Hachiya is not well-known in the industry right now, it doesn't mean she lacks professional skills. She can tell that all nine singers genuinely love their stage.

You can hear in it a love that sparkles like the most dazzling gem in the world.

The girl's feelings for the future and her dreams are passionate and sincere, dazzling, joyful, and wonderfully exciting, making them irresistible.

But it was precisely this kind of emotion that made Shiori Hachiya, who had already decided to give up her own brilliance, feel a voice gradually rekindling from within, while also admiring it.

That's wonderful. To still be able to stand on my own stage.

If only I could do that...

...Never mind, I shouldn't think about it too much.

If I keep thinking about it, I'll break down.

Shiori Hachiya is good at adjusting her mindset. She simply cherished the song that brought her long-lost emotion, then bought natto and returned to Saki Koizumi's house.

Nana Oba had already parted ways with her, saying she was going to buy supplies and that someone was waiting for her to eat.

Shiori Hachiya was very impressed with her new friend, after all, the other person was good-looking and sang well.

If I debut, I'll probably surpass myself easily within a year.

However, the other person is a completely different type from me, so it's not really a matter of debuting.

The other person is a stage actor, and will probably become a very outstanding actor in the future.

No, not probably.

With such talent, one is sure to shine in their field.

very nice.

Next time, I'll ask her if she wants to come to my concert.

Actually, I also wanted to see her perform on stage...

With that thought in mind, Shiori Hachiya returned to Saki Koizumi's house with the natto she had bought from the convenience store.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard her own voice singing lyrics from her early debut years ago, coming from the tablet in Saki Koizumi's hand.

On the sofa, Kita Kirihara and Koizumi Saki were huddled together, intently watching Hachiya Shiori's embarrassing past from a few years ago. From Hachiya Shiori's perspective, one dark-skinned and one fair-skinned head could be seen pressed together.

Shiori Hachiya froze on the spot, and the shopping bag in her hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "thud".

"...What are you looking at?" Shiori Hachiya asked, her voice trembling. She just wanted to disappear into the ground.

My heroic colleagues would find out about my friendly smile and sweet voice... How embarrassing!

It felt like trying on your own handmade hero costume, covered in lace and bows, in your room when your family suddenly opened the door.

Saki Koizumi looked up when she heard Shiori Hachiya return, quite pleased: "Dreamweaver, you used to be so cute."

The praise was so direct that Shiori Hachiya didn't know whether she should be happy or angry.

Her face flushed red from her neck to the top of her head. Driven by intense shame, she rushed over, snatched the tablet, and turned it off: "Don't look!"

Kita Kirihara apologized profusely, trying to make amends for his Saki: "Actually, it was me who suggested that I take a look."

She felt that Saki's statement was too rude, and out of curiosity and guilt, at her suggestion, the two decided to learn more about Shiori Hachiya's career.

Saki Koizumi solemnly said to Shiori Hachiya, "You're doing so poorly because others are blind."

At least she really liked Shiori Hachiya's style and felt that the dream weaver standing on that stage was shining brightly.

Upon hearing this, Shiori Hachiya's already red ears almost bled even more: "Don't flatter me so much... what if I take it seriously?"

She looked both embarrassed and angry, and snatched the tablet away. The two knew that she was about to leave the idol industry, so they didn't continue the topic.
