MyGO!!! I am the succubus Xiaoxiang?

Because, among Mana's fans, there have been instances where someone said they sold their car and spent money just to meet her.

. . . . . .

Such heavy emotions~

"Eh? Mana?" Her partner, Mikami Hatsuka, instantly changed her expression, becoming kind and approachable.

It's like being as close to someone as you are to yourself.

. . . . . .

"Chuhua, are you alright?"

"Great!"

"Chuhua performed very well today too! She sang very well!"

"Because I feel very relaxed with Mana!"

"Eh? I got praised!" Mana, the shop manager, smiled to herself.

"Oh right! You should try what I bought."

"do not want!"

"Hey! That's too much!"

"Mana, I'm not really interested in those randomly flavored donuts you make right now!"

"Hey! I only support one wasabi flavor."

"It's more like the fact that the donuts have such a weird and wonderful flavor is like a cult. I can't really accept that people would do that!" Chu Hua sighed.

"Hmm, okay." Mana sighed. Was she going to have to eat all those donuts again?

. . . . . .

Mana, who came in with a donut, tried to start a conversation several times.

You sang really well today.

Things will definitely get better in the future.

And what? There are a lot of reporters at the entrance, so we'll have to get around them later.

Haven't they finished watching the video over there yet?

In short, I tried my best to liven up the atmosphere of the whole room.

However, for Chu Hua right now...

I just want some peace and quiet.

Record continuously, searching for the best presentation.

Therefore, the performance is repeated over and over again, and each time it must be done in the best possible condition.

And various idols gathered around.

They were saying things they didn't mean, but deep down they were yearning for what they represented.

And also, Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Xiang, how is he?

Xiao Xiang~

I opened CRYCHIC's webpage, but it hasn't been updated since.

It was like a band that had only been around for a fleeting moment and then suddenly disbanded.

However, Shiina Tatsuki, a classmate, recently formed a band.

It probably wasn't the original band.

After all, CRYCHIC hasn't been updated.

In other words.

Besides, the other party mentioned before how angry Xiangzi looked.

So, Xiao Xiang.

I took out my phone, wanting to make a call, but then I started to feel afraid.

Will I bother the other person?

Because you miss the other person, you go and bother them?

Well!

Then, he said his performance in today's recording was very good!

. . . . . .

After doing those things, and seeing Xiangzi fall into such a state, he didn't say a word. Then, a year later, he suddenly sent a message to Xiangzi because he was doing better and better.

"Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, look at me! I've become a super awesome star!! I recorded a great music video!!"

. . . . . .

That's far too provocative.

It was clearly my own fault.

A year later, the culprit sent a message saying that he was doing very well.

. . . . . .

Will Xiao Xiang be very angry, upset, and in pain?

Will I hate myself?

I didn't send any messages for a year, but I did care about the other person. Then, because I was doing well, I sent them a message.

. . . . . .

just forget it.

"Saki-chan~" Chu Hua hugged her phone, lying on the sofa, the screen still showing Xiangzi congratulating her on becoming an idol.

Gradually, I sensed Xiangzi's joy upon hearing the news.

That kind of happiness comes from feeling others' feelings for you.

But I did that kind of thing.

Caught in a vortex of joy and despair, where one feels both joy and repulsiveness, the more one seeks solace, the more disgusted one feels with oneself.

The initial triangular formation cannot be escaped; the only option is to delve deeper and deeper.

I savored that sentence again and again, imagining Xiangzi happily congratulating me.

It was just a simple sentence, a congratulatory message.

From needing a minute to be satisfied, to ten minutes, and now, thinking about Xiangzi's joy for half an hour allows me to stop thinking about what happens next.

Chu Hua opened her eyes, her gaze bright. After slightly shaking off her uncomfortable feelings, she came to her senses about the quiet room in front of her and her impatience with Mana.

"Mana?" Chu Hua propped herself up on the sofa and looked at the tatami mat behind her. In order to ensure that the idols could get enough rest, there was a dressing table, a Western-style rest room, and a Japanese-style tatami rest area.

He himself occupied the Western style.

Turning my head, I saw Mana sitting on a Japanese tatami mat, wearing headphones and listening to something on her phone.

I would occasionally open my phone and have a voice conversation with the other person.

Listening to the slightly leaky headphones, and hearing that very familiar voice coming through them again, Chu Hua felt a little itchy and subconsciously stood next to Mana to listen.

"Well, so I don't know if I've actually helped those who needed it, those KRKR fans, or if everyone just wanted to take advantage of me!"

Mana poured out her sorrowful emotions.

As Chu Hua listened, she lowered her head in self-reproach. She realized that Mana had encountered the same situation as her. Not only that, but Mana had also actively shielded her from many things and always faced everything positively. Even though she often forgot that Mana was about the same age as her and also needed a response.

Mana, who came to the agency with her sparkling idol dream of KRKR, faced a more realistic idol world, where idols would do anything to gain popularity and fans.

. . . . . .

"Hmm~ It sounds scary, like there are so many idols who aren't really that KRKR shining brightly!"

Hearing the voice coming from the earphones, Chu Hua felt a warm, ticklish feeling in her heart.

It felt like someone had breathed on my heart.

"But, wait, Mana said she met a hundred idols, and ninety-nine of them had ulterior motives. What about the one who didn't?"

"If that one isn't, and that one is like Mana, thinking the same way as Mana, wanting to become a shining idol, KRKR bringing the light she sees in her heart to everyone, then Mana helped her, becoming her light. Not only that, one Mana brought out a shining idol out of a hundred people."

"If there's a second one, there will be a third, and then there will be more and more. There may still be many idols that you don't think are idols, but there will be more and more idols like MANA. In the end, one day, everyone will shine, won't they?"

"What Mana did was not meaningless. For that shining idol, Mana's image is perhaps the light that they persevered in and passed on to others!"

"Just like mana!"

"It's not a wasted effort, you know. Those shining idols will remember what they care about!"

is it?

Will anyone keep track of it? Xiao Xiang will write down my performance, will he see it?

What I did was not a wasted effort.

Chu Hua relaxed immediately upon hearing the words leaking from the earpiece.

If Xiangzi could see it.

Xiao Xiang is probably looking forward to his new music video right now!

"I've been looking forward to sumimi's new song!"

Just like that little fan standing opposite Mana right now, eagerly anticipating it.

Looking forward to my performance.

Chu Hua took a deep breath, wanting to tell Mana to work together and not let the fans down.

Yes, don't let Xiao Xiang down!

However, when he lowered his head...

“Hehehe, hehehehe!”

"Mo~ It's not as good as you say!"

"Hehehe~ It's just that being able to become someone else's light or something!"

"Hehehe~"

"Mana, mana will try her best! She'll respond positively to everyone!!"

"Hehehe~"

Looking at her partner's expression, Chu Hua suddenly realized something.

This way.

It's just that fans are gradually being influenced by their idols!

Wait! What you're saying sounds so nice, so beautiful.

It's like, very sunny.

Can there really be such a sunny and understanding girl?

The kind of girl who casually puts herself in other people's shoes, thinks for them, believes everyone is good, and never doubts whether the other person's words are biased towards her own perspective.

The kind of girl who is considerate of you.

As long as people have their own opinions, doubts and differences will exist.

Even I, when I meet Mana, will doubt whether she is really as sunny and kind as she seems.

Even now, I sometimes wonder if Mana forced herself to be so cheerful and optimistic.

The girl across from me was someone who immediately drew me in and was very positive and encouraging to Mana.

Is she really that positive and cheerful?
