Dream Star

Following day

Every girl talk she has had are not about her, but about others love life — the usual conversation with friends . Her everyday boring life is one without twist but after she met Teras.h.i.+ma Lila, all of that changed . Yori"s gaze darted towards the email she had been receiving from her singing instructor," Those two girls are great, they may not be your standard . But I can genuinely see a bright future ahead of them . "Although it was only supposed to be until the festival ended; the two pleaded for it to continue .

Despite being amazing idols already, both Kira Maaya and Tachibana Miu are working hard to ensure that they reach it . A kami level standard for everything . As for her, she has no particular weakness . It"s strange to be saying so, but singing, dancing, acting, and fas.h.i.+on are all fields she can excel in well without much help . What can she do right now as an idol, to improve herself?

After having that talk with that person and seeing Lila"s live, it became clear to her that she really does want to lead the idol world with the person named Teras.h.i.+ma Lila . But the way she is now, she won"t be able to beat Yos.h.i.+kawa Ageha let alone stand on par with Lila .

Yori isn"t discounting her own abilities because she too understood that, there might be something different in her aura then all the others . Whether that something is the sees of the center that person pointed out, she has yet to know . But Yori does understand that it"s something that will continue on growing . Unless she grows as an idol, it may end up becoming harmful to her .

"I"m sorry to do this so early in the morning . But when I heard you were in the area for work, I wanted to be able to get the chance to talk to you . "

This person in front of her is a former legendary idol . Sora Yuko .

"You don"t need to be sorry . What did you want to ask?"

"Actually, I"m feeling a bit stuck . Even though I have a goal, I don"t know what is it that I can do to improve myself . "

"Let me think," Yuko trailed off, "I thought long and hard how I could improve myself, even though I was at the top . I refined my skills every day . " So that really is all that can be done . But for a person like her, who"s somehow able to excel in those fields without trouble, this is a problematic situation . "But there"s one thing more important than all that . "

Siena glanced over at her with wide eyes .

"You have to gain experience, so performing many stages . "

"A performance . . . But at this point .   . " Lila is far too busy with her solo work, and they even have a show coming up . Not to mention her other work keeps her busier than ever . Whenever her friend has free time, she"s working on training for the compet.i.tion .

"If you have no opportunities, just make one yourself . "

"Eh?"

Yuko-senpai winked, "I"m sure if it"s Lilchan, she will be willing to make some time for a stage with you . "

. .

Main Street (Star Town) 8:30 am

"That"s what Yuko-senpai told you?" Lila said . The two of them were in a cafe, which was unusually quiet for this time of day . People were either still sleeping or had long gone to work .

Yori fiddles with the straw of her drink . "And I"ve been thinking .   . Do you want to hold an event with me? "

"An event?"

"Yeah . The main stage could be a unit performance with you and me . The G.o.ddess4 could perform too, and maybe your sister will be available for at least a song . But our unit will be in focus . How"s that sound? What do you think?"

It may be too soon asking her this . Although they are on talking terms again; it isn"t easy to erase what happened . Lila"s feelings were at her peak; then, Yori knew she should have been more understanding . When Yori looks back at it now, she can"t help but feel bad about it .

"A stage with you," Lila trails off, her eyes sparkle, "That gets me going! Let me do it! That"s what we can do right now . "

"You"re right! Let"s do it together . "

It didn"t take them long before they were discussing the details together, "I"m all for your idea about the performances . But hmmm I wonder if it would be okay . . . "

"What"s wrong?" Lila asked .

"Actually the three of us wrote a song not too long ago, and we"ve finally finished the details . "

"Eh, your new units new song?"

"We were actually planning on performing it when we got back since we don"t have an opening slot to perform here . But since we are given this chance of two songs, I wonder if it would be okay . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

"I don"t mind it all . It is supposed to be our event . So the units we center in can also be promotional . Besides, I want to see you, Jae-hee and Kotori as a unit . I missed the first performance . "

"That"s because you snuck away with your boyfriend . "

"Wahh, not true . I rushed back for Kiryu not to have a secret honeymoon with Haruka . "

Hey, hey, she didn"t even mention that "Okay then, but you have to perform with the G.o.ddess4 . "

At that comment, Lila flinched, "You know I can"t . wahh, don"t ask . "

Yori rolled her eyes as she patted Lila"s head .

That"s right if it"s the present Teras.h.i.+ma Lila; she can picture it clearly, a beautiful, dazzling and powerful performance .

"Speaking of secrets, you"re going to tell me, aren"t you? About you and Soichiro . "

"Uh .   . so you figured that out," Yori scratches her face, "Even if you want to know badly, there isn"t much I can say . "

"So it was that kind of relations.h.i.+p . A pure s.e.xual one," Lila said . For a split second, Yori thought that the girl said that with a straight face . But it wasn"t like that at all .

Lila"s face color turned several shades of red in the span of 30 seconds . Ah ah, as she thought .

"It was that way . But I suppose there were some regular couple like moments," Yori trailed off, "Honestly speaking, I never once saw that person as a romantic love interest . "

"Eh? Then were you only staying with him for the . . "

It"s kinda cute how innocent she is when it comes to this stuff . She"s definitely the tsundere girl in-game routes, the ones you can"t help but want to cuddle . But Lila stares at her with expected looking eyes, as though she was searching for the real reason .

So Yori tells her all about it, how her meeting with Soichiro changed her whole life . How at the start she only got involved with him because of the mission . Yori tells her everything, even the feelings she had when he first kissed her and held her hand .

Kogami has never thought of love . Although she may have been in love with a certain somebody, she may have undoubtedly cared a lot more for her childhood friend . It wasn"t until she met Soichiro, did she realize that there is more definition of love . Even now her eyes naturally follow him, even though she"s longed stopped having such feelings towards him . These days he"s always around one person .

No let"s correct that these past few years - if he is not working . He is always with Teras.h.i.+ma Lila . In other peoples eyes, that"s only natural . Yet she cannot help but find it strange . She knows that the reason they are working together is because of the circ.u.mstance from before . But whenever she thinks of the two being together, her heart begins to hurt .

"In the end, it was nothing more than a fling . The Soichiro at that time simply wanted a subst.i.tute for you,"

Lila frowned at those words, "That"s . . "

"Don"t worry, I understand why . I knew from the very start that nothing would ever come out of our relations.h.i.+p with each other . I was supposed to kill him, and yet at the end of the day, I ended up caring a lot about him . Even now, we haven"t spoken about it properly, what happened in the past, and that"s probably why I can"t pursue a proper relations.h.i.+p with the person I am seeing now . That guy is very kind to me, and I can see he cares for me deeply," Yori trails off and laughs softly, "I thought so with those guys, and yet they didn"t hesitate at all when they left me . Perhaps I unknowingly built a defensive wall in terms of love . "

That"s right before she realized it whenever the topic concerned guys . She would put a distance between herself and them . That person too said it when they were in the a.s.sa.s.sin school," It doesn"t feel like you truly desire anyone . "Desire? She"s had plenty of people who fit that category; but not a person she loved .

"With Soichiro, there was something different . I don"t know what it was, but I felt safe when I was around him . I felt like if I continued spending time with him, any insecurities I have would leave completely, and it really was like that . When I was with him, I did not think of such troublesome things . The safety of the arms of the man I was with, it was strange but not a bad feeling . We had moments where we argued of course, and yet even then he would fall asleep on the same bed with me . He would still have his arms wrapped around me like he already knew, that I felt safe being beside him . I took it for granted that he would always be there by my side . I didn"t think he would suddenly leave . But after what was happening with you, I knew he wouldn"t stay here just to be with me . "

Yori understood it from the very start, no matter how much fun she had with him . If Lila were ever to try and cross the line, then Soichiro would leave her . It"s strange, why is she telling Lila all of this? Telling her all of these things .

Her eyes went wide when Yori saw the tears falling from Lila"s eyes, "Why are you crying?"

"Because your story really is so very sad . Yori, you really must have loved that idiot . "

Teras.h.i.+ma Lila is truly a cute girl, Nase Siena has always thought so before, and Soichiro type is undoubtedly a girl like her . Lila resembles that girl in more ways than one . That"s why when the two of them became close to each other; she wasn"t surprised .

That girl too was like this before, whenever she mentions her past, she would burst into tears . They are both the same, so she can see why Soichiro would go for her . Only Lila has ever confirmed it, but then again she has never really told anyone else before, confirmed that she was actually in love with Soichiro .

Love, huh? Since Yori met him again, she completely forgot about her old feelings for him . She even pretended not to know him .

"Yes, that might be the case . Thank you for crying for me . "

"Wahh, I wasn"t crying for you . "

Yori chuckled, "Yes, yes," her gaze softened, "You were crying for my sake, right? Thank you . "

"Le-- let"s do it! A show that will leave that idiot speechless . Yori, you have to tell him okay? Especially if there"s still something lingering there . "

"I don"t mind telling him . But if I steal him away, don"t complain okay?"

Lila sighed, "Just take him," her friend trailed off, "I probably shouldn"t get involved with Soichiro any further, not only does it make Haruka uncomfortable . People misunderstand . "
