Dream Star

But, if there is one person who would come close to that, it would be…the woman named Yos.h.i.+kawa Ageha.

Lila"s eyes sparkled. "Acchan has gotten so much better." It isn"t just Acchan, but Kasumi and everybody else too. They all worked hard to fulfill their promises. She should also do the same from now on. There are so many things going on, and she really ought to list things in order and prioritize a few. But, while her dreams are important, she can"t ignore her love life either.

…...

Universal Star Academy - Gardens -

Lila debated about it, but in the end, she brought Acchan to Universal Star academy. Unfortunately, Miu has work in the next town over; she knew the girl has wanted to meet Acchan.

"Unbelievable, she just came back, and yet these views..and comments."

"It"s expected; if you can"t do this much even now, then your future is bleak," Ageha said as she drank a sip of tea.

Miu looked furious, but Rinna quickly calmed her down.

"But, you came just like that. Is it fine?" Kasumi asked.

"I promised Lila that I"d return to the stage if she performed with all of you as a member of the G.o.ddess4 anyway."

Kasumi smiled, "I see, then that works too. I received word from Kiryu; he already left Ayase-san"s place. I asked Wataru to fetch him. They should be on their way here."

Kiryu is coming here.. Kiryu... Lately, things have been pretty strange between them. She genuinely doesn"t know what to think when it comes to him anymore. But, he seems a bit down these days. With the way things are now, she can"t do anything to help him openly.

Ageha looked over at where she left Haruka, waiting, "Invite him inside?"

"Uh, but.." Lila glanced over at the others.

"I heard the news too. But surely, we all knew that was fake?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Kasumi nodded, "I thought as much too. But it looked very realistic. It was disturbing for us. I don"t hold a grudge against him. It"s cold outside, so you should invite him in."

She cautiously looked over at Maaya, but the ginger-haired girl nodded.

After a few minutes, Haruka strolled inside, and he made his way over to her. "Wear this, and this," he mumbled, placing a hat and a scarf around her neck. "It"s going to snow tonight, so if you stay here long, take this.."

Lila laughed, "Um, what about you?"

"Hm? I"ll head back by car."

"Haruka, you"re going now?"

Haruka smiled, "Not yet. But I don"t want to disturb you."

Kasumi coughed, "Ahem. Even if it is fake, so you don"t accidentally cross any boundaries, we need to have a serious talk with you," with those words said, Kasumi dragged Haruka away.

Lila looked worriedly at the other side of the garden. She could still see them. But she could not hear their conversation from here.

"You don"t have to worry about them so much. They won"t do anything but lecture him."

"I--I know, but uh Haruka is sensitive, and he takes people"s words seriously and…" Lila trailed off, "Lately, he"s acting very strange. I want to be a source of strength for him. But it seems like all I do is cause him trouble." She really wants to help him, but why does she keep causing him more heartache?

"He"s distracted you."

Her sweat fell, "Well, uh... that"s true."

Ageha sighed, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

--

"Lilsan, what do you intend to do now? You"ve already accomplished your dream of becoming the first star."

"That"s a silly question, Acchan."

"Silly?"

"Yes. After all, it"s obvious. "Lila rushed up to the deck, a strong gust of wind blows. Ageha"s eyes go wide. This feeling. Lila draws a round circle shape with her fingers, and in that instance a beautiful rainbow coloured light, no a beautiful light filled with all the colours surrounded her palm, then it shoots up in the air and explodes.

A gorgeous aura covered the pitch-black skies.

The already large aura seemed to wrap around the sea and s.h.i.+p, too, causing it to illuminate.

"The next step, it"s the world. To become the world"s brightest star."

--

Lila"s gaze softened, "I haven"t forgotten. I"ve indeed been a bit sidetracked, but I won"t forget. My dreams have changed slightly. I still want to conquer the world music scene. But," her gaze fell on Haruka. "I want to do so with him."

Ageha sighed, "I suppose that"s like you too," she looked over at Haruka. "That man, even when I was abroad, I heard the most disturbing rumors about him."

"Wah, Haruka is famous international."

"Don"t be so happy, the things I heard were outrageous. I was very worried about you. So I got in contact with Kanehera Kouta, and I asked him to update me on your situation."

"Koutkun?"

"He did his job, and while he quote expressed his concerns. He told me that you looked the happiest he had seen you in a long time. Last time we met, I didn"t ask you too many details. However, it must have been hard for you."

"Mmm," Lila nodded. "It was when I first went to Light Town. I thought it was the end of the world. I missed everybody so badly that it was driving me crazy. I wanted to meet them all. I wanted to see them. But, I stopped myself and tried to adjust to my life in light town. Looking back, I should have just broken the rules and met with everyone."

It"s not like anything bad would happen to her if she met with everyone. That point was proven when Kasumi abruptly came to see her.

"Do you, not like Austin Kiryu anymore? That guy wasn"t a bad person. He may have cheated on you, and he wasn"t the best at words. But he loved you; he still loves you."

Lila nodded, "Yes, I know. Honestly, the cheating thing? Yes, it bothered me, like it would anyone. But my main fear and worry was something different. Even before Kiryu let go of my hand earlier this year. There were plenty of occasions in the past where he did something similar. Kiryu loved me for a long time, I"ve known that since I was a child. His feelings for me. But whenever I get close to anyone of the opposite gender, Kiryu thinks that person is better for me. He often ran away. Whenever he did that, I"d feel very lonely. Kiryu not believing in himself only came about because he didn"t think I loved him."

"Lila.."

"So you see, it was a lot more complicated than what people made it out to be. That"s why this is

…

"I"m so sorry, Lilchan," Kotori apologized. "Austin-san too."

"Don"t mind it, don"t mind it. Hey wait here for a minute, I"ll fetch you that CD."

"Thank you."

Lila looked over at the two back and forth and smiled. That"s good; they seem to be getting along. Because she was always hogging Kiryu before, Kiryu didn"t have any proper female friends.

After she parted ways with Kotori, Lila made her way outside and extended her hand out. It"s raining again… She forgot to bring her bag and left it behind at the apartment. What a long day, shes very tired. It does not seem like she has anything else left to do; she ought to head back home. However, as she turned to the right and her eyes widened when she saw Haruka there.

"Haruka!" Lila rushed over and hugged him. "Why are you still here? Didn"t you leave?"

"I waited for you."

Lila laughed, "Okay, I see." She wants to stay by his side forever, these feelings have only grown stronger since that time.

"What"s wrong, wife?"

"Nothing, can we go grab dinner somewhere? I"m a bit hungry."

"Yeah, I know a good restaurant. Let"s go," Haruka kissed her lips gently. "Its a date, right?" these words seemed clumsy, and Haruka kept looking away. But her gaze brightened at his words; he really is doing his best for her.

"Yes, yes, it is."

Even if this happiness is short term, it does not matter to her. Right now, she is here with him, her most beloved person. Whatever storms they will face in the future, that can wait for now.
