Nightfall (Teras.h.i.+ma household) 7:00 PM

"I"m so sorry," Yori apologized, "I didn"t mean to rush off like that, uhh, you see."

Lila chuckled, she already overheard the girl speaking to herself a few hours back. What a foolish person. "It"s okay; I was going to find you to apologize to. I mean, after I heard that story I went ahead and.."

Yori shook her head, "Don"t apologize. That guy probably forced you right? He"s so insensitive."

Her sweatdropped, "Well, he isn"t a completely bad guy," despite Soichiro"s rash methods. Lila does understand everything he does is for her sake. Lila wanted to encourage

"By the way, I"ve meant to ask but this tree.."

"This is known as the tree of bonds," Lila turned her attention back to the tree.

"The Tree of Bonds?" Yori repeated.

"Look," Lila pointed and watched as her friends gaze darted towards what she was pointing at, "Can you see these four branches? To me these four branches represent the bones of the G.o.ddess 4."

"G.o.ddess 4 and bond, huh? I envy that about you Lila, unlike you I have nothing like that."

"But you do, you just don"t see it."

"Are you sure?" Yori asked her.

"There"s still time until the end. Although we won"t be competing against each other, you have until then to rethink what exactly it is you can do. If you make use of the remaining time, the final stage will be no mere dream."

Yori sighed deeply and sank to the ground, "Ah geez, you make it sounds like something amazing."

"Because isn"t it? Even though we are all in different groups now, it doesn"t change the fact that our origin was that place," Lila smiles brightly, "I"m very happy."

"You are?"

"En. Because I"m performing alongside such amazing people, even though we all started off in the same spot, we all realized that there"s more we can contribute to the idol world if we left it. Sure that itself is sad, and honestly, from time to time I always think back yo those days, the theater especially, as well as the senpai"s that came before us. But when we think back to how we were when we first started in contrast to now, we have all come along way since then."

"The compet.i.tion too may just be a stepping stone for me," Yori mumbles, "Truthfully unlike you and the others, I"ve never seriously thought about what I"d do once the tournament ends."

"Eh, well considering our ages already. Marriage."

At that comment, Yori"s face flushed red, and Lila chuckled, "Ah, bingo," Lila thought.

"M--mar--"

"And since it"s you, Yori, your partner will be Soichiro."

"Why would it be him?!!"

"Because I thought you two are super lovey-dovey now. Ah, well, even if you two aren"t yet. Hasn"t he made a move on you?"

Yori sighed, "More like he"s making moves on you."

Lila sweat fell, "Um, that..."

"Well, it"s not like I expect anything from him," Yori looked at her, "Can I ask? About you two? I never truly understood it..."

Lila smiled, "If you come with me to the drama set tomorrow, you"ll understand."

Yori nodded, "So uhh, about what you said regarding ..."

"Oh, that? I was joking," she trailed off and chuckled when Lila saw Yori"s puffed cheeks, "I was only joking. But, from that reaction, he really must have done something."

Her friend frantically shook her head, "No, nothing."

A chuckle escaped Lila"s lips, "Yori your so cute; it makes you a perfect target for teasing."

"That doesn"t make me happy at all."

"But it should," Lila smiles softly, "Contrary to what I may have told you last time. If you were to become the sweetheart inside Soichiro"s heart, I wouldn"t mind."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Lila, perhaps . .. "

Lila turned to the tree and placed her hand in the center, as she does so though the tree began to glow.

Yori spoke up from behind her, "Say, this tree."

"It"s called the tree of bonds for a reason. It represents the life form of all the lives in the world. This tree will continue to s.h.i.+ne as long as it hears peoples thoughts."

A warm light seems to be spreading across her heart.

"It seems to be welcoming you."

"It would be nice if that was the case. I haven"t come here in a long time after all," Lila whispered. Quite some time has pa.s.sed since she last came here, but it hasn"t changed at all.

"Say, Lila," Lila turned to Yori who continued, "They say those who become the ultimate idol, is chosen as the messenger of all peoples hopes and dreams in the universe. When your dreams come true, you not only have responsibility to guide the idol world but the rest of the world too. You might experience even more painful things. And yet, can you withstand them?"

October XX - H Studio -

"Focus, if you get into the finals, I"ll tell you. Everything that I haven"t told her yet. "

Haruka made that promise with her that he would reveal everything. The current scene is the President of the school Saionji Yura got kidnapped by a group of delinquents to lure the new student in.

"Action !"

"Yura!" s.h.i.+chiro exclaimed.

Lila"s eyes went wide. Uwaaah? What what? He"s not tired, but he"s sweating a lot like he just ran here. Amazing. She thought so earlier despite s.h.i.+chiro being in a slightly dazed state but -- could it be that s.h.i.+chiro"s an excellent actor?

"d.a.m.n you; I"m going to send you to h.e.l.l," s.h.i.+chiro said, clenching his fist, punching the nearby boxes causing them to stumble over and immediately being surrounded by other guys.

Uwaahh, even though she knows its pretend. s.h.i.+chiro is really good …at fighting too. Eh eh? What? Even though he usually had such a calm appearance. Perhaps there are things she doesn"t know about s.h.i.+chiro just yet. She can"t let herself be outdone. Because even though Mother, Ren-san and her sister are her inspiration. The same goes for them, the guys in the G.o.d5.

"Your coming with me, Yura," the man who was holding onto her was trying to drag her away.

Her gaze sharp, threatening tone. "Let me go." She immediately broke free and then twisted the man"s arm.

"Ow- ow-."

"d.a.m.n you."

Lila his fist in mid-sentence with a flying kick, only to receive another attack on the right. It missed but not without tearing a bit of her skirt. Ah!! Lila tears the bottom.

"Don"t you dare lay a hand on me.."

...

"Scene 50, this is when Taiga"s been at the school for two months already. Yura for once is late and rus.h.i.+ng to make it on time. Coincidentally, she meets with Taiga, along the way. Taiga, who was on his way to school early, got attacked by another group … this scene is key. From this point onwards, Taiga and Yura relations.h.i.+p will change," the director announced.

Despite the sudden switch in scene, Lila immediately prepared herself.

"Taig- Taiga?!!!"

"Yura…ah, I see even you can be late for once."

Lila bends down examining his wounds, "This is awful... But how could they get to you?"

"A little girl. .they were using her as a hostage, she…sorta resembled you, with that idiotic face of yours."

"Your very kind."

"Heh, you"re flattering me now? I just got beat up you know?"

"That doesn"t matter! Just now I lead a little girl at the police station and reunite her with her mother. That was the girl you saved, right? Because you took action, that girl was able to get away to safety. For once you fought honorably. I"m very happy."

"Even though you"re against fighting, with your strength -can you really just fight battles of justice?"

"I, am not as strong as you think. I cultivated this strength by overstepping a dangerous boundary. True strength ought to be pure and n.o.ble, not something that has been tainted. With the way I am now, I"m only doing so much with this strength of mine. That"s why I envy people like you Taiga; I may have insulted you this entire time for getting into random fights. But the truth is, I know the reason why you get into so many of them. Today"s incidence may be the first time you"ve saved someone, but this entire time you"ve been fighting for others. Your…completely different than me."

She add libed, and he followed. But these words, she is saying it from experience. Lila took out her handkerchief and began to wipe the trail of blood on his forehead, "Your very cool, I admire you, Taiga."

He grabs hold of her wrist, startling her - before he could so much do anything. She saw s.h.i.+chiro legs go wobbly and eventually rests on her lap. ". .. T--this is very inappropriate."

"Either that or I rest on your chest. Which is it going to be?"

"F--fine you have it your way."

"Just now, when you said we were different. What, did you mean by that?"

"It"s exactly as it sounds."

"Are you involved with something dangerous?" s.h.i.+chiro asked.

Lila shook her head, "Past tense. I was. In the past, I was involved with someone dangerous."

"A former lover?"

Lila shook her head, "No, just a dear friend. When I was on the verge of despair and could not rely on the person that was most important to me, that person extended their hand out to me and helped me through my darkest times. Even though I had someone I could rely on; I saw how much he was suffering already and didn"t want to burden him with my problems. That"s when I took the hand of that person and engaged in dangerous activities. Thinking back, that life of bloodshed was so dark and yet the atmosphere was always very warm in that place. And yet I understand that it was wrong. That the strength I gained wasn"t used to protect anyone but carefully?"

This is the reason, is Yori observing?
