Dream Star

"Ahuh, even so. Agehsan told me something not too long ago, before I upgraded my star wings" Only a handful of stars can outs.h.i.+ne the rest. Become the world"s brightest star, s.h.i.+ning more brightly than anyone else. Teras.h.i.+ma Lila, to accomplish that, you must upgrade and evolve your yourself. I believe you will can do so . "Those handful of stars are most likely there to support the brightest star because even the brightest star cannot stand there alone. Even stars must go through the process of love, pain, sadness, joy. . That"s why there is no such thing as someone who wants to be alone."

"No such thing as a person who wants to be alone?" Yumeko repeated.

"Un. Especially for you, Yumeko. You"re not the alone type. You don"t deserve something painful like that. So cheer up !!! If there is anything wrong, please feel free to consult me. Oh but, right now I"m taking a break from helping Haruka. If you need me today, I"ll be in the Austin family mansion !"

With those words said, Yumeko watches as the black hair rushes off at full speed.

She runs quite fast. But, shouldn"t she spend her free time in the hospital?

"Her break consists of practice. Somebody better wisely inform her that"s dangerous for her body." Satoru commented. He took out his phone, "I will tell Ameno."

Her sweatdropped, "Isn"t that a bad idea? He will surely mess with her."

"n.o.body else will tell her otherwise. If you leave it to Karas.h.i.+ma or Kiryu-san, she could easily bribe them."

Her sweatdropped. "Only Haruka can do something like that. I wouldn"t be surprised if he realize that she left, and chased after her. After all she ran off with lightning speed just now. Perhaps she saw him."

"An accurate a.s.sessment that"s become the truth."

Huh? Satoru pointed to the direction where Lila had just run off to see that she halted... There stood none other than Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka. He was leaning against the pillar. Yumeko sweat fell, "It seems like he still has that habit of following her." When Lila was, "Kiku Ari." Yumeko noticed Haruka following her around a lot.

Haruka picked her up. Despite how easily he did this. Yumeko noticed something different. He seemed very cautious like he was holding something very precious. Yumeko blinked and yet. "So something has changed?"

"That"s enough," he scolded. "Weren"t we going to flirt?"

"I agree, Haruka, you"re so warm !!!"

"Not listening." Haruka shook his head. "Well that"s fine, let"s go back."

"Alright!" Lila quickly turned in their direction and happily waved her hands.

It"s the same as before, and yet Yumeko sensed something different. The difference other than Haruka"s clumsy movements?

There is something gentle in Haruka"s expression. A gentleness she never saw before. Watching this warm-hearted scene is quite embarra.s.sing. But, unlike before, her heart feels at ease. It seems like

Her thoughts broke off when she saw Haruka glance over. He mumbled something, and it took her a while to realize what he said. Her eyes twitched in annoyance.

"d.a.m.n that guy." Why does he purposely stir her up? Ever since middle school, he"s been like this, purposely winding her up.

"From now on, those two will only continue loving each other more, no matter what difficulties they"ll face. They will come out of each challenge with stronger feelings than before. I"m quite jealous." Satoru commented.

"You could have had a normal love story if you continued dating Hanazo."

Satoru laughed, "A normal love story? That"s not possible."

"Was it that bad?"

"No, no it"s more like.. Love isn"t normal. The moment you fall in love, you end up going crazy. If you don"t go crazy because of love, then there is a problem with you."

Yumeko blinked once and then again. She didn"t expect that reply. It"s normal to go crazy when you are in love?

Her thoughts break off when she hears his phone ring.

"I have practice. But my offer still stands! Come see me anytime. Oh, hey, is your number still the same?"

"I"ve changed it."

Satoru took out his phone, "Add me."

Yumeko nodded and took her phone out from her bag.

"That"s a cute charm!" Satoru commented. "It looks familiar, actually…"

She tried to hide it, but Satoru laughed. "I see it"s the one Atsuysenpai gave you. Do you still like him? I thought as much."

"Maybe I do, maybe I don"t," her gaze softened. "Honestly, I don"t understand that stuff. So even if I were to meet him again, I wouldn"t know what to say."

"Meet him again?"

"Lately, I"ve been sneaking around a lot, and I discovered some interesting things—the report from HYOU4"s quarters regarding that incident. I recently accessed it. It seems like there is a chance for Atsuya to be alive."

Satoru looked down, "So that"s why you came to Star town? Did you find that much out?"

"Did you know?"

"I know who the person you want to meet is."

At that comment, her eyes widened. Satoru didn"t directly tell her anything, but those vague words clarified what she just said. So it"s true? That guy, Atsuya, is alive? Yumeko bit her lip. She thought she resolved herself already. But it turns out that isn"t the case here.

"Listen," Satoru said awkwardly. "I"m glad I b.u.mped into you today. I wanted to meet with you and talk to you about this." He extended his hand out, but she immediately pushed it away.

"Sorry," Yumeko apologized. "Just give me some time."

Kanehera Manor -

As the daughter of a wealthy businessman, her family had several houses. Of course, there was one in Star Town.

Usually, she wouldn"t stay in places related to her family. She liked to live low-key. But Yumeko didn"t want to brood by herself in a hotel room. It"s quiet in this manor too. However, she would occasionally hear the sound of the servants vacuuming. Yumeko tossed and turned in her bed. "Why is she so surprised?"

She already saw those records, so isn"t her reaction strange? But, Yumeko thought she was misinterpreting things. Her IQ is low; she isn"t smart at all.
