[Afterwards, Toyokawa Shoko invited Ruoba Mutsumi, who was standing beside her, to join her. Ruoba Mutsumi's amber eyes reflected Toyokawa Shoko's hand, and beyond that, her face.]

[After that, the highly proactive Shoko Toyokawa found the other members of the band. Just as they were preparing for their first live performance, Shoko Toyokawa's mother had an accident.]

However, this did not make Shoko Toyokawa give up on the band.

The real reason that made Shoko Toyokawa give up was that her father failed in business and was swindled out of 163 billion yen.

Furthermore, Toyokawa Shoko's father was driven out of his home by her grandfather and became a homeless person.

For her father's sake, Toyokawa Shoko broke ties with her grandfather. Although her grandfather's promise to make her his adopted daughter and Ichinose-kun her fiancé made her hesitate, the thought of her father alone led her to flee the Toyokawa family home.

That day, besides Toyokawa Shoko escaping, Ruoba Mutsumi also fled.

Hearing her father and mother's words of regret—that they still wanted Ichinose-kun to become Mutsumi's husband, since Mutsumi and Ichinose-kun had a good relationship—Mutsumi felt a void in her heart upon learning that Ichinose Wakaba had become Toyokawa Shoko's fiancé.

[What filled the heart of the doll named Ruoye Mutsu was Toyokawa Shoko's need, but recently, that need has diminished, as Ichinose Wakaba forcefully stuffed half of it in.]

But now, the doll's heart no longer belongs to her.

After that, every time Ruoye Mutsu wanted to go find Toyokawa Shoko, she always saw you beside her.

[Ruoye Mutsu realized that she was no longer something Toyokawa Shoko needed, no longer an inseparable part of him.]

The doll's heart began to break, and the multi-headed monster began to weep.

[And it was under these circumstances that something happened.]

After witnessing Toyokawa Shoko, who had given up on Crychic, invite you and be accepted, Ruoba Mutsumi begins to look forward to your invitation.

Even if she wasn't the first one invited, Ruoye Mutsumi didn't mind, since Toyokawa Shoko needed her. Besides, the two people who filled Ruoye Mutsumi's heart were both in the same band.

However, the doll-like girl waited for a long time but never came.

For the first time, a longing arose in Ruoye Mu's heart.

[Is augmented reality mode enabled?]

Clicking "Start," Ichinose Wakaba quickly walked into the alleyway soaked by the early spring rain, and immediately saw a thin figure huddled in a corner.

The girl's pale green hair clung wetly to her cheeks, water droplets sliding down her forehead and landing on her clothes, which were already soaked by the rain.

Her face was as pale as a porcelain doll, devoid of any color, with only her slightly trembling lips tinged with a hint of red.

Ruoye Mu's body trembled slightly from the cold, and she hugged herself tightly, as if desperately drawing out the last bit of warmth.

Ichinose Wakaba stepped forward, the umbrella shielding her head, the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella surface crisp and rapid.

He crouched down and looked into her eyes. The doll's empty gaze revealed a heartbreaking sense of bewilderment and exhaustion.

"Mu, what are you doing here?"

Ichinose Wakaba's voice was low and gentle, as warm as the afternoon sun. Even though the doll had become like this because of him.

The reason why Toyokawa Shoko didn't invite Ichinose Wakaba after inviting Ruoba Mutsu was because he said, "If Mutsu also comes, our roles will overlap."

Although she is world-renowned for her piano playing, Ichinose Wakaba is playing guitar this time.

Because of her love for music, Ichinose Wakaba is proficient in all kinds of musical instruments. Therefore, after listening to Ichinose Wakaba's guitar playing, Toyokawa Shoko chose him instead of her childhood friend, Ruoba Mutsumi, as a member of the Galactic Fleet.

"If it's Wakaba, then there's even less of a problem."

Whether it's guitar technique or the influence of being a celebrity, Mutsumi Ruoba is not as good as Wakaba Ichinose.

For this reason, Toyokawa Shoko, who wanted to become an instant star, gave up inviting Ruoye Mutsu, which also disappointed the latter.

As for the matter of her fiancé, it was Ichinose Wakarei and Izaki Inoba Shiya who spread it.

""

Ruoye Mu seemed not to hear, but slowly raised her head, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately no sound came out. In that instant, the doll looked as fragile as a piece of paper that could be washed away by the rain at any moment, making one involuntarily want to hold her in their arms.

Ruoye Mu didn't understand why this was happening.

Although she disliked Ichinose Wakaba's assertiveness, her demands made Ruoba Mutsumi feel needed. Two joyful things overlapped: her first important friend and the first person to forcefully enter her heart.

These two moments of joy should have brought Ruoye Mu even more happiness. What she received should have been a blissful, dreamlike time…

But why does it become like this...

Ruoye Mu didn't understand why Toyokawa Shoko didn't invite her and let her experience this joy.

Even though Ruoye Mu had done so much for Fengchuan Xiangzi, she didn't understand.

She is not reconciled!

The dappled light and shadow under the umbrella softened the pale face of Ruoye Mutsu. But just as Ichinose thought she was still a puppet to be manipulated and was about to unleash his desires on the pale green-clad girl, he caught a glimpse of an expression he had never seen before.

For the first time, an expression appeared on Ruoba Mutsumi's face that wasn't because of Ichinose Wakaba.

It wasn't because of him, but because of her.

Ruo Yemu slightly raised her head, raindrops sliding down her hair, but unable to conceal the brief yet clear complex emotions in her eyes. Her lips moved slightly, as if long-suppressed emotions were finally overflowing, no longer the usual obedience and bewilderment, but a kind of stubbornness that was almost a struggle and a self-awakening.

"Mu..."

Ichinose Wakaba called out softly, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

Ruoye Mu did not respond, but instead cast her gaze toward the distant rain, as if trying to break free from something or searching for something unknown. In that instant, the doll no longer seemed fragile, but rather possessed an indescribable vitality.

Her world seemed to have acquired its own unique color.

Because of Toyokawa Shoko's betrayal, and the betrayal of the person in front of me.

When Ichinose Wakaba saw the genuine expression on Ruoba Mutsumi's face, his heart felt as if it had been struck by something heavy, followed by an overwhelming surge of uncontrollable joy. For a moment, he even held his breath, as if the whole world had stopped for this moment, leaving only the rapid beating of his heart in his chest, which made his eardrums tingle.

His fingertips trembled slightly, the umbrella handle he gripped so tightly seemed about to break, yet the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turned up in a suppressed yet frenzied arc.

She wavered, she broke free. She finally found her own color!

It's because of me!

Ichinose Wakaba gazed intently at Ruoba Mutsumi before her, raindrops streaming down her face, blurring her otherwise flawless features. She resembled an exquisite doll, breathtakingly delicate, yet her brokenness evoked an indescribable sense of pity and heartache.

He slowly reached out and brushed the wet strands of hair from the person who was no longer a doll behind her ear, feeling the coldness of her skin with that touch.

"A perfect doll is certainly beautiful, but isn't a broken doll even more heartbreaking?"

"A crack, a flaw, can make people want to repair it, protect it, and even—"

Ichinose Wakaba paused for a moment, gently wiping the water droplets from her face with her fingertips, "I want to hold it in my hand and not let anyone hurt it again."

A frenzied desire swept over him like a flood, destroying all of Ichinose Wakaba's composure and rationality. Every nerve in his body screamed to hold onto this moment tightly and not let it slip away.

Ichinose Wakaba wanted to possess her completely, to freeze this moment into eternity.

Ruo Ye Mu was slightly startled. She raised her eyes, which were somewhat empty due to the cold, and stared blankly at him, as if she did not understand the meaning of the person in front of her.

But it doesn't matter, now Ichinose Wakaba is in front of Ruoba Mutsu.

The sound of rain still echoed in her ears, but the girl's world seemed to stand still. She lowered her head, her lips trembling slightly, but she didn't utter a word. She simply let the person in front of her tilt the umbrella towards her, shielding her from more of the wind and rain.

She let the other person take her away from there, let the other person tear away her disguise, and let Ichinose Wakaba invade her body.

It occupied more space in her heart.

jijibo!

Chapter 18 Two Letters from Toyokawa Shoko

[At 23, you got married. Because you didn't use protection that day, Ruo Yemu vomited during a family dinner.]

However, Ruoye Mu's parents didn't care. After all, these two were the kind of scumbag parents who would lock their mentally ill daughter in a room instead of taking her to see a doctor.

[But when my daughter caught a cold, I didn't tell her to take care of herself, or maybe I've just gotten used to it.]

The two, busy with work, left again.

[Until Ruoye Mu's belly became completely swollen.]

Whose child is this?!

Faced with her parents' questioning, Ruoye Mu remained silent, like a puppet. Although she had received your guidance and could now clearly express her feelings, years of habit had made Ruoye Mu still prefer this mode of behavior.

Ruoye Mu finds interacting with people troublesome.

Seeing this situation, Ruoye Mutsu's parents decided to make this child, who shouldn't have been born, disappear.

Fearing that this matter would affect their careers, the two didn't consider Ruoye Mutsu's feelings and began contacting acquaintances who could keep the matter confidential.

At that moment, you stepped forward.

You pleaded with Ruoye Mu's father: "Please entrust Mu to me."

[Ruoye Mu was stunned, not expecting you to come. After all, in her mind, you were just a weirdo who had taken an interest in her body.]

Although you occupy half of my heart, Ruoye Mu doesn't think you're that important.

But at this moment, Ruoye Mu suddenly felt that you had become more important.

Upon seeing that the person who got their daughter pregnant was an internationally renowned pianist, Ruo Yemu's parents immediately agreed to the marriage. After all, it would be another source of pride for them to boast about on the show.

And so, you married into the Ruoye family and became their son-in-law.

After the news spread, many people sent you their blessings and congratulations, except for one person.

[Toyokawa Shoko came to your door, her face displaying complex emotions as she faced you, her former fiancé. Facing Ruoye Mutsumi, Toyokawa Shoko tried to say something several times, but each time, due to their long-standing friendship, she ultimately offered only a blessing.]

After that, Toyokawa Shoko never appeared before you and Ruoye Mutsu again.

I heard that because the band called "Mother Hen Card" failed, the other party had to return to the Toyokawa family and become its heir.

And so, you and Ruoye Mutsu lived together.

You and your partner have a daughter.

Because Toyokawa Shoko is no longer around, Ruoba Mutsumi's heart is only filled with you and her daughter.

[You, Ruoye Mutsu, who was needed by two people, lived your life like this.]

At 70, you and Mutsuki learn of Toyokawa Shoko's death. At her funeral, you and Mutsuki see each other again after many years.

This time, however, it's a separation by death.

At the end of the funeral, Toyokawa Shoko's adopted heir gave you and Ruoye Mutsuko each a letter.

The letters meant for you were filled with love for the music you played, admiration for you, and endless regret.

[Toyokawa Shoko regretted not having the courage to express her feelings, regretted that she had acted impulsively. If she had acted first, would things be different now?]

After reading it, you showed Toyokawa Shoko's letter to Ruoye Mutsu. After reading it, Ruoye Mutsu's face once again fell into the silence befitting a doll.

[You haven't seen the letter concerning Ruoye Mu, and you're not interested in it, since you've already successfully made Ruoye Mu your property.]

[At 75, Ruoye Mu passed away before you. Before she left, it seemed she had something she wanted to say to you. But she didn't have the chance, or perhaps she knew that saying it wouldn't have made a difference.]

[At 80 years old, during a magical research trip, you lost control and were blasted into the sky.]

[Simulation ends. 】

Settlement Proceedings: High

[Summary Comment: The methods used in the underworld are despicable in the normal world, but they fit the characteristics of a scumbag.]

[Exchangeable Attributes: Magic (White), Music (Red), Distinguished Family Background (Purple)]

Because the level is high, the level of the redeemed affixes will not be downgraded.

"As expected, a higher rating does not lower the entry's level."

Ichinose Wakaba thought of the "physical strength" attribute he had redeemed last time. If his Sims rating had been "high" then, he would have received the gold attribute.

"However, this is more important than advanced terms."

As she swiped her finger across the three redeemable terms, Ichinose Wakaba didn't choose the red term that appeared for the first time, nor did she choose the prestigious family background that could immediately change the current situation of the working warriors in the real world. Instead, she chose the last of the three, the white term.

[Exchange or not: Magic (White)]

[Already redeemed: Magic (White)]

A soft white light shone down from the void, like the sunlight on a clear winter morning, warm but not scorching. The light gradually condensed into a small sphere of light, which swirled in mid-air, emanating a tranquil and pure aura.

Ichinose Wakaba's gaze was fixed on the sphere of light, his eyes filled with longing. His fingers trembled slightly, and finally he slowly extended them, his fingertips touching the pure white light.

At that moment, Ichinose Wakaba felt a gentle yet profound power surge into her body, as if some kind of restraint had been broken, and even her soul became lighter.

"Is this magic?"
