Gravity Girl Shining

Everything is exposed.

From the time he transferred to Yuqiu until now, the castle he had built with all his efforts has collapsed.

What a lucky day! It turns out that I have used up all my luck today and finally became an unlucky BADEND.

……

Chihaya Aine began to fall.

speechless.

Unable to move.

Unable to think.

The soul separated from the body and fell into the cold pool of water behind it.

Chihaya Aine fell into the abyss.

……

then.

Uehara Hibiki grabbed Chihaya Aine.

The temperature of the soul is warmer than the sun, piercing the darkness and tearing apart the abyss.

It spread throughout the girl's body through her warm palms.

Before Chihaya Aine's body collapsed in reality, Uehara Hibiki grabbed her in time, supporting her last bit of dignity.

"ring."

Chihaya Aine murmured in an almost inaudible voice.

But Uehara Hibiki still heard it clearly.

Aine, are you calling for help?

Then I will definitely save you.

……

Supporting the powerless Aine, Uehara Hibiki doesn't know the truth, but the current situation is clear. Chihaya Aine's past friends come to her, while Aine herself is running away from the past.

Just like Shoko Toyokawa.

But unlike Toyokawa Shoko's ruthless cutting that hurts others and herself, he uses sharp thorns to protect himself.

The path chosen by Chihaya Aine is to forget, as if if she pretends that the past does not exist, it will really disappear.

Only now, the past had caught up with her.

Uehara Hibiki doesn't know about the past that was deliberately hidden. He knows nothing about the reason or position, but he is Chihaya Aine's friend.

Therefore, Uehara Hibiki will only stand on Chihaya Aine's side now.

……

"Sorry, Meow Meng-kun. When the white crane flew over just now, Aine seemed to have been splashed by the pool water, and her makeup was a little smudged. Could you please take her back to the lounge to touch up her makeup first, please."

Uehara Hibiki supported Chihaya Aine, his tall body slightly blocking the girl's face. He turned to Meow Mengqin and lied in a casual tone.

Even though I had some prejudice against you before, you are Aine's idol after all, and you are a good person that Deng intuitively identified, so I believe you now.

please!

Miao Mengqin heard the hidden meaning behind the last three words. Although she noticed the subtle change in Chihaya Aine's mood, she also didn't understand the crux of the matter. But...

She is a kind-hearted Miao Mengqin, and she cannot let her sponsor suffer any injustice.

"Understood, Mr. Leader."

Miao Mengqin responded with a smile and turned to his fans.

"I'm sorry, I'm at work and can't interact with you all. But you're all Aine's acquaintances, right? If you want an autograph, I'll have Aine pass it on to you later."

As if it were a genuine job, Meow Mengqin stepped forward and helped Chihaya Aine to her feet. Her sexy body swayed gently, and at a perfect angle, it cleverly obscured Chihaya Aine's pale face. Holding the girl's hand, Meow Mengqin guided her slowly towards the nearby rest shed.

Chihaya Aine did not resist. At this moment, she was like a puppet, allowing Miao Mengqin to control her.

Feeling the emotions conveyed in the eyes of those fans, Miao Mengqin smiled slightly.

Although the acting skills I have worked so hard to hone are not used on stage, they seem to be pretty good here.

What did the teacher say in the acting class?

The veteran actor can handle anything and his impromptu performance on the set conquers the director.

As for the rest, I leave it to you, Mr. Handsome.

Looking at Miao Mengqin's receding figure, Uehara Hibiki breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't relax yet, as there were still these people on the field...

"Excuse me, are you Aine's classmates?"

Uehara Hibiki tried his best to put on a business-like smile. Just based on his looks, he could at least leave a good first impression. The rest was just a matter of slowly fooling people.

"Well, we were both students at Fukuromori High School in junior high. May I ask why Chihaya is here? What are your jobs?"

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the leader of the professional band MyGo. Chihaya Aine is the band's contracted guitarist. We were just shooting the band's promotional concept art. Meow Mengqin is our makeup artist."

"Professional band?"

After all, it was the era of big girl bands, so Chihaya Aine's classmates weren't particularly surprised by this statement, but...

"I remember Chihaya went to England..."

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about Aine's future university aspirations in junior high school, but now Aine has chosen to stay in Japan and continue her band activities."

Uehara Hibiki tried his best to maintain his facial expression. Besides, what he said was not entirely a lie.

It's half true, half false, just use your imagination.

According to the Intuition skill, this is the best way to say it.

"Wow! A professional band! The president is certainly talented in this area."

Chihaya Aine's junior high school classmates looked at each other, as if they had convinced themselves.

After all, Chihaya Aine in junior high school was the epitome of perfection, and her fans had no doubts about her at all.

Besides, this was the era of big girl bands, and playing in a band was much more fashionable than studying abroad in the UK.

How could the perfect Chihaya be a London deserter? She must have given up studying abroad for her music dream. How great!

Seeing that these people had temporarily believed it and exchanged a few polite words, Uehara Hibiki also found an excuse and ran away.

I don't know how long this excuse will last, but... Tokyo is so big, it will take you at least a day or two to find the whole place, right?

……

Arriving at the shed, Uehara Hibiki ran into Meow Mengqin head-on. After briefly explaining the cause and effect of the matter, Uehara Hibiki bowed his head solemnly to the girl in front of him.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. But this time, it really helped a lot. Thank you."

This time, my thanks are sincere.

"No problem, Miao Mengqin will satisfy all the fans' expectations."

Miao Mengqin turned around to look at Chihaya Aine who was sitting blankly on the bench, and the expression on his face became a little serious.

"My lovely fan, I'll leave her to you for now. Judging from her expression just now, this is not something a mere anchor can interfere with."

Finally, Miao Mengqin stuffed a few notes into Uehara Hibiki's hands.

"Here's my signature. If Aine is still willing to meet her friends, please help me pass this on to them. Or you can come, too. Come on, Knight-kun."

"Well, thank you too, Meow Meng-kun."

"Hehe, if you want to express your gratitude, just follow me and give me a like."

Miao Mengqin left without looking back, leaving behind only a handsome back.

"Miao Mengqin will respond to all fans' expectations. By the way, since this is a promotional photo shoot for the band, I will delay sending the Lucky White Crane video for a day. I'll be waiting for your news tonight."

What a reliable man.

After watching Miao Mengqin leave, Uehara Xiang took out his cell phone. As expected, Deng also began to ask himself why he hadn't gone back.

It did take a while to come out.

"Sorry, there's something unexpected here, Aine."

Uehara Hibiki thought for a while. This kind of thing cannot be revealed casually, but since two living people have not returned yet, he cannot keep it secret forever and make Deng and the others more uneasy.

"She ran into her friend from before she transferred to the new school, and something unpleasant happened. I'm trying to comfort her, so you guys should go back first."

After sending the message, Uehara Hibiki put away his phone and sat next to Aine.

Once again, he held her hand.

A brief silence fell on the two of them, with only the sound of their heartbeats resonating with each other.

"Hibiki, won't you ask me what happened?"

In the end, it was Chihaya Aine who spoke first. Hearing her words, Uehara Hibiki immediately relaxed.

When the other person is willing to say this, it means that she herself also has the desire to talk.

"If Aine doesn't want to talk, why should I ask? But if Aine is willing to tell me, I will be the best listener."

"That's Hibiki's style indeed."

Chihaya Aine increased the strength of her fingers and held Uehara Hibiki's hand tightly, fearing that this touch of warmth would disappear again.

"Higashi, you know how strange the timing of my transfer was. I was forced to transfer to Hanegaoka from another school because of my parents' job transfer. Those were all lies. I escaped back from England."

Chihaya Aine paused for a moment, then began to speak firmly.

"When I was in junior high school, I was the student union president. I had excellent grades and was good at sports. I even formed a student union band for the school anniversary and became the lead guitarist."

As if she wanted to re-open all her scars, Chihaya Aine gave a wry smile.

"Haha, you're so clueless, aren't you? Guitar vocals... and you're even going to study in the UK. You clearly don't like the UK, and you don't have any specific plans. It's just because my classmate, the one who just called me, said she was going to Tsuki no Mori to attend high school. Tsuki no Mori, the school for young ladies, is like a fantasy paradise to us ordinary middle school students."

Chihaya Aion thought back to Nagasaki Suyo, the genuine Miss Tsukinomori, who was actually just an ordinary band like everyone else, and was not so noble or out of reach.

But for myself at that time...

"I'm the student council president, the best person in the school. Tsuki no Mori is worthy of me. But other students in the class also want to go to Tsuki no Mori. Isn't this stealing my limelight?"

Chihaya Aine almost laughed out loud as she thought about her past self.

"So, in order to suppress her, I told all my friends that I was going to study in high school in the UK. It's funny, what an impulsive decision, what a stupid one."

Listening to Aine's confession, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

How should I put it? It's really stupid. Because of this kind of face issue, I decided the future plan of my life in a fit of anger.

"Then, in the UK, I couldn't adapt to the environment at all. I couldn't make any friends, and my spoken English was terrible. After only half a month, I fled back home in disgrace."

Uehara Hibiki actually knew part of this story.

From the memories obtained from drawing from the card pool, Chihaya Aine was in the dormitory of a private church school in the UK, holding back tears and packing her luggage, preparing to leave.

A foreign country, a strange culture, a strange language, but it was slightly different from what Chihaya had described.

Although Aine said that she has no way of making friends, her roommates are actually very caring towards her.

Although everyone complains about Japanese English, in fact, the pronunciation of Aine in my memory is already relatively standard.

If Chihaya Aine could have someone who could understand her heart and support her, perhaps with a few more months of perseverance, she could have overcome these difficulties with her talent.

However, in that high-pressure environment, Chihaya Aine chose to escape.

It's like her guitar.

Even if you have unparalleled talent, if you choose to escape when faced with difficulties, you will never succeed.

"I originally planned to start a new life in Hanedaoka, but my former classmates found out about my failure in studying abroad..."

Chihaya Aine's self-deprecation has reached its limit.

"My life is over."

"No!"

Uehara Hibiki interrupted Chihaya Aine, tightly grasped the girl's hand, and spoke his own words in a decisive tone.
