There were nine people in total. After they all counted, they hugged each other and shouted in unison: "μ's! Music START!"

The prelude of the song sounded, and as the girls danced, the stage lights focused and dispersed, and the lines appeared.

"Ah! It's the beginning of the feeling"

"Ah! Hope of the starry sky"

My body couldn't help but follow the rhythm. After listening to their performance, I recalled the host's introduction and only had one thought in my mind: [I will always support μ's!]

Then after μ's left the stage, a few more groups passed by and TEA came on stage after school. They sang a new song that had never been heard before.

It was a great listen, the new song is really good~ I will always be a loyal fan of After School TEA!

But they were not the last to perform, and Fujiwara Haru was a little curious about who would be the last to perform this year.

As time passed, after the last band of the White Team finished singing, the Red Team performed the finale, which was also the finale of the entire Red and White Song Festival.

As she walked in the darkness, the lights always came on a step behind her. After she walked all the way to the center of the stage, the lights came on fully and as the music started, her full appearance could be seen.

The green curly hair and twin ponytails hang down to the feet, and the knee-length black stockings and skirt form an absolute territory. As the pure and lovely voice sounded, the song entered the mind, bringing the final ultimate experience.

"Boldness is no match for the Haruka Revolution."

"Lei 々 Luo 々 rebel against the country."

Recalling the host’s introduction just now.

Singer: Hatsune Miku

Song: Senbonzakura

This rehearsal for the Red and White Songs Festival was not in vain. The feeling of listening to it live was really shocking.

Fujiwara Haru has a new goal in life, which is to listen to the Red and White Songs Contest live in the future, not during rehearsals or live broadcasts, he wants to listen to it in a formal live event!

------

I slept soundly in the hotel until the next day, went out for a morning run, and wandered around Tokyo.

Fujiwara Haru is opening the map. There is too much fog in Tokyo on the system map, so some areas need to be opened up.

As he was opening the map, he noticed a yellow exclamation mark appearing close up on the map.

Hey, there’s a story!

I stopped running decisively, squatted on the side of the street and looked in the direction of the yellow exclamation mark, wanting to see what would happen.

Curious ~

Not long after squatting, a blond-haired man wearing sunglasses came over and said, "Young man, would you like a Matcha Frappuccino?"

Look at him and shake your head.

The uncle kept pestering me, saying something like, he was a scout, and he thought Fujiwara Haru was talented, with a great figure and looks, and was definitely capable of entering the entertainment industry, so he asked if I wanted to go to him to sign a contract or something.

Fujiwara Haru refused. Putting aside the fact that he had no desire to act, the image the uncle saw at that moment was likely a younger version of him, altered by the gods. In a year, he would be much different, completely different from what he saw now. He couldn't harm others.

I glanced at the system map and the yellow exclamation mark disappeared.

What just happened?

Because he was constantly being harassed by the scout, he didn't notice who was there or what happened.

Fujiwara Haru missed the yellow exclamation mark and felt a little unhappy.

He took a step forward and walked away quickly, deciding not to bother with the scout uncle anymore.

After running away from the scout uncle and preparing to continue exploring the map, I found a new exclamation mark.

Red.

Click to view.

Event: Transformation/Diving into the Sea/Self-Destruction

A time countdown may occur

100~101. Relationships that started with support

The newly appeared red exclamation mark is not far away from the yellow exclamation mark just now, which makes people wonder whether these two incidents were caused by the same person.

The yellow exclamation marks on the map usually indicate some eye-catching stories. Even the most common and frequently refreshed exclamation mark of a ramen shop clearly shows a girl named Koizumi eating ramen.

However, when Fujiwara Haru was harassed by the scout, nothing obvious happened on the street. As usual, pedestrians came and went, and the yellow exclamation mark disappeared.

If we talk about the thing that is most likely to attract people's attention, it is the incident where he was harassed by the scout uncle on the street.

Not long after that, the red exclamation mark appeared.

This time the yellow exclamation mark means that he was discovered by a scout?

Fujiwara Haru reserves this guess, but feels that it is unlikely. After all, he has lived for so many years. If there really is a yellow exclamation mark that will appear in his own story, he should have discovered it long ago.

He felt that something had happened that caused the exclamation mark to disappear.

Fujiwara Haru thought for a while, and after ruling out all other answers, only one reason remained: his appearance attracted the scout to discover him, causing the yellow exclamation mark to disappear.

The yellow exclamation mark just now is likely to mean that the scout uncle will discover a legendary idol, which is the beginning of a legendary story?

Then because the scout saw that he missed the target, the target person was not discovered and the red exclamation mark event was triggered again?

Event: Transformation/Diving into the Sea/Self-Destruction

Fujiwara Haru couldn't understand the word "transformation", but he knew about going into the sea and self-destruction.

One is engaged in special film shooting, and the other is suicide, neither of which is a good word.

The reasons for "going into the sea" may be lack of money, being drugged, being coerced, etc.

The reason for "self-destruction" is probably that one has no hope in life anymore. It may be that life was very bad in the past, or life will be extremely bad soon.

Fujiwara Haru thought and analyzed a lot, and finally he decided to make an attempt to confirm whether the protagonist of the story with the yellow exclamation mark just now was the protagonist of the story with the red exclamation mark now.

Following the instructions on the map and following the red exclamation mark for a while, I confirmed the target person: from the back, she was a girl with purple hair.

He was short, and judging from a distance, he was half a head taller than her, and it felt like the girl was less than 150cm tall. She looked petite, but her legs were well-proportioned, not thick like carrots, but rather beautiful, slender legs.

This reminded Fujiwara Haru of the 1/6 figurines he had seen when making props before. The original characters were 176cm tall, but when they were scaled down and made into figurines, the legs still looked very long, which was the beauty of harmonious proportions.

After following her for a minute, I thought she looked petite and cute. My initial guess was that she had either been dieting on purpose or she just didn't have enough to eat like he did before.

The back view is perfect, now let’s look at the front view.

Fujiwara Haru walked up quickly and said, "Hello, please wait a moment."

The girl turned around so that her face could be seen.

With a slightly childish and very perfect face, and bright stars in the dark purple eyes, it is extremely attractive and unforgettable at first sight.

This was the first time Fujiwara Haru had examined a girl from all angles, and he was now certain of one thing: this was the person the scout had been looking for, a natural-born idol!

The girl looked at Fujiwara Haru and had a good first impression of him. She asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Fujiwara Haru decided to make a final confirmation: "How about a Matcha Frappuccino? I want to talk to you about something."

The girl's eyes lit up and she nodded: "Okay!"

What the scout said just now seemed like special attack to her.

It was confirmed that the girl in front of me was the protagonist of the story with the yellow exclamation mark. She should have been discovered by a scout and embarked on a shining life.

However, his appearance set her on another path in life, a path that would self-destruct in a few days.

Fujiwara Haru felt very heavy, as he had inadvertently changed her life.

"Come with me." He sighed softly and decided to make it up to her.

Fujiwara Haru felt that he might not be able to make her a legendary idol directly, but he was still confident that he could let her enter the idol industry and deal with the red exclamation mark incident in advance!

Don't underestimate his address book!

He took the girl into a Starbucks, ordered a Matcha Frappuccino for her, and then tried to order a coffee for himself.

The two sat in a corner, and Fujiwara Haru introduced himself first.

"My name is Fujiwara Haru, I'm 14 years old, a third-year junior high school student, and I live in... I like eating meat and don't like dry food. My goal in life is to pass the exam..." He spoke in more detail because he wanted to know more about the girl and chose to be honest first.

After briefly introducing himself, he asked, "Can you tell me some information about yourself? I'd like to know more so that it will be easier for us to communicate later."

The girl looked at the sincere boy and blinked. "My name is Hoshino Ai, I'm 14 years old, a runaway from the third grade of junior high school, and I don't have a home address yet. I love eating all kinds of delicious food, and I'm currently wandering around the amazing Tokyo. If I run out of options, I'll just go to the street and wait for the gods."

The waiter brought the drinks for both of them. Fujiwara Haru tried taking a sip of the coffee, but it was so bitter that he put it aside.

After Hoshino Ai took a few bites, she spoke again: "Hoshino, do you want to be an idol?"

She took a sip of her drink and didn't answer the question directly. Instead, she smiled and said, "Qing can call me Ai-oh, or Ai-chan. In return, I'll call you Qing-jun."

After just three sentences, she started calling me by my name. I felt she was a very cheerful, enthusiastic and outgoing girl.

Fujiwara Haru shook his head, not bothering with the name, and said calmly: "Sure, then, Ai-chan, do you want to become an idol?"

Being an idol? Hoshino Ai felt she wasn't cut out for it. An idol's smile makes their fans smile too, a pure sincerity that rewards sincerity for sincerity. A habitual liar, unable to love others, how could she possibly earn the love of her fans?

She had just spoken to him to build closer rapport and call him by his name, but she was just pretending to be familiar, trying to trick the boy into thinking she was easy to fool so that she could see him more clearly later.

Hoshino Ai, concentrating on her drink, refused, "No, I never intended to be an idol. Why did Haru-kun ask that question?"

After a long silence, he considered the matter carefully and chose to tell her the truth: "Although it may be unbelievable to say this, please believe me, Ai-chan, you have the potential to become a legendary idol. And just now, I accidentally ruined your chance to embark on the road to stardom. Now, I want to make it up to you."

She stopped eating and drinking and looked up: "It sounds like the predictions of the fortune-teller on the street, telling me all kinds of future. I hope Qingjun won't charge me later."

Hoshino Ai lowered her head and continued to concentrate on her matcha frappuccino. "Just to be clear, I only have 2,000 yen on me right now. Like I said earlier, I'm already planning to go out to the streets to wait for the gods tonight. If Haru-kun tries to take the money, I'll run away immediately."

"No, no, I just made you miss a life opportunity, and I really want to make up for it. That's why I want to communicate with you, want to get to know you better, and try to get you into the idol industry and take back your own brilliant life."

"Ah, I believe it, I believe it. Then, Qingjun, can you give me another matcha frappuccino?"

Fujiwara Haru ordered another drink and then said, "Ai-chan, why don't you try to be an idol? I will fully support you."

"I don't want to..." Hoshino Ai decided to elaborate on the reason for the new Matcha Frappuccino. "Haru-kun, to be more precise, I'm not suitable to be an idol."

"I...was originally from a single-parent family, but my mother was caught stealing when I was little, and then I was placed in an orphanage."

"A few years ago, my mother was released from prison, but she didn't come to pick me up. I lived in an orphanage until yesterday. That orphanage wasn't very good, and I didn't want to stay there anymore, so I fled to Tokyo."

She took a sip of her drink. "But speaking of it, life in the orphanage is actually better than at home. At least I don't get beaten all day long, and I can occasionally have a full meal."

"I've lived my entire life and never loved anyone. I can't be an idol. That's a profession that requires sincerity. I can't love my fans."

Fujiwara Haru pondered that idols rely on fans for survival, and that they must serve their fans well and bring them love and hope. Returning sincerity with sincerity is the right thing to do, and what Hoshino Ai said makes sense.

"So, Ai-chan, do you want to be an actor? An actor just needs to play the role well. Although it might be difficult for you without acting skills, I can also contact some friends I know and try my best to help."

"Thank you very much, but that's not necessary."

Being an actor is not that easy. Even for someone outside the industry, Hoshino Ai has heard about all kinds of unspoken rules and connections. The boy in front of her is only 14 years old like her. What kind of connections could he have?

Hoshino Ai felt like she might have fallen for some new scam. You see, they're saying you have the potential to be a legendary idol, and they're saying they'll help you become one, and they're even saying they'll help you live a brilliant life.
