Star X Star[Skip Beat]

So many forgotten memories began to wake up in my mind little by little.

Why should she give it up to Tsuruga Lian? She is clearly destined to be deeply bound with her.

It's just...it was just being fooled by Tsuruga Lian.

That man in a hypocritical shell—yes, he read it right. On the steps that day, Tsuruga Ren's aura once exuded definitely did not belong to the well-known gentle gentleman who was exposed to the flashlight!Even if Tsuruga Ren was furious because of his actions, there is no reason why he would change so much... that kind of... that even I don't want to admit...

Bloody and unbridled violence.

Like a messenger from the abyss and purgatory, with the ecstasy chain to snatch the cruel breath of the soul.

Tsk, it's disgusting to deceive Kyoko and pretend to be a gentle and generous senior in front of her.

To get her back, let her escape from harm before Tsuruga Ren gets tired of her.

Since she can't see through, let yourself remind that stupid woman.

[You are... so childish! ]

Are you childish...

Well, let's see when I get serious——

Mogami Kyoko!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Long Island, in front of an ordinary apartment.

On the nameplate, the word "Chisong" is hung. It is not a famous person, nor does it have a special background. It is as ordinary as this apartment.

There is a little girl running around in the courtyard, chasing a beige Shiba Inu behind her, wagging her tail and sticking out her tongue, chasing after the little girl and barking stupidly.

The little girl didn't grasp the rhythm of her feet for a while, and fell to sit on the lawn. Immediately, the dog threw herself into her arms, and her wet tongue licked her face with saliva.

"Mom~ Mom~ Jiro licks me! Oh, Jiro, stop making trouble!" The little girl pursed her mouth and pushed the Shiba Inu, which was only one size smaller than herself, away from her body, but the dog thought its owner was playing with her, and was happy rushed forward again.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh, stinky Jiro, dirty ghost!"

The woman next to the hanger turned around and glanced at the group of people hugging a dog on the grass. She couldn't help showing a soft smile. She flipped through the last white shirt in the clothes basket and hung it up to dry carefully. clothesline.

Then, in the background sound of "Stinky Jiro, big bastard, little dirty dog", the woman walked into the house with a clothes basket in her arms.

The sun in the afternoon is not very strong, and occasionally a few clouds will drift by, but it is better than the hazy weather in the past few days. It is not a solution to pile up clothes for a long time. Taking advantage of this weekend, the housework should be cleaned up. There is new business to do, and then there will be no time...

The woman was thinking in her heart that the TV in the house was being skipped one by one. She passed the man who was sitting on the ground leaning on the sofa watching TV, and said without looking back: "The shirts have been put out to dry, iron them tomorrow morning." Take it out and put it on again, next week you send Xiaokui to class, and I have morning meetings all week."

The man raised his head in response, and the screen on the TV was jumping to the entertainment news of JBS TV station.

In the past, men would never spend extra time on this kind of program, but at this time, the popular drama "Dark Moon" is being introduced. My wife must watch it every day, and men know more or less, so I slowed down. The action of the turntable key.

"—Behind the scenes, Director Keifu Ogata gave an affirmative answer. This remake is one of the rare high-level works in recent years whose evaluation is comparable to the original——"

It turned out that it was still hype, and the filming was good, but as for the major TV stations all day long, are they holding it like this?The man was about to press the button with some disappointment——

"What is unexpected is that in this new work, although there are many superstars, there are still some newcomers who perform well and are highly anticipated by the audience and the industry. For example, they have been performing midnight short episodes before, but have never participated in TV drama Tatsuzawa Yamaguchi, who was filmed, and an unofficial artist affiliated with the LME agency, Kyoko who played Mio Hongo in the play this time..."

The woman's hands of folding clothes stopped suddenly.

"Dad——I want to watch "MOMO"!" The little girl who had escaped from the claws of the dog in the backyard at some point ran to the man, and at this time the man's hand just pressed the turntable button. ——

The sound of intense gun battles echoed through the house.

"Turn back—"

The man was puzzled to hear what his wife seemed to say.

"Turn back—turn back to the channel just now—"

"Oh, I know you like Weixu, every time you see Weixu, you won't let it go..." The man sighed, "But Xiaokui wants to watch "MOMO", so don't compete with the kids—"

Before he finished speaking, he realized that the woman had walked behind him from the inside at some point, grabbed the remote control in his hand, and quickly switched back to the one just now.

On the screen, Hongo Weixu's wonderful performances in the play were replayed. The woman looked straight at Weixu's distorted smiling face, and her eyes were stained with a layer of sadness, which could not be wiped away. The poisonous color dyed the pupils layer by layer from the bottom of the eyes until some light blurred the vision.

"Why do I want to cry every time I see Weixu... Really—" the man propped himself up, hugging her body to comfort him: "It's just acting, although the character is very pitiful, but it's just acting... ..."

Pitiful?

The woman looked at her man with a self-deprecating question in her eyes.

Then she shook her head.

Can't stop shaking his head.

"It's not...acting..." She murmured, her hands that had already been imprinted with time tightly gripped the apron on her body.

that kid...

She didn't dare to look back, for fear of hurting her heart.

But she couldn't help looking back, the ruffles on the apron were deeply embedded.

"I...after this period of work is over...I want to—go to Tokyo."

Taking a deep breath, the woman made a decision.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Three quick and loud sounds echoed in the empty gun room.

The bullets were like thunderbolts of lightning, piercing the calm airflow in front of them and hitting the bullseye in the distance.

"9.6, 9.0, 8.7." A slightly immature and clear voice came from behind, although he couldn't hear it very clearly, the man took off his shooting earmuffs, put them on his slender neck, and smiled slightly.

A figure that was not as long as his legs leaned over from behind, looking at his skillful posture of changing magazines from bottom to top.

His movements are smooth and steady, even a little casual and lazy, as if what is filled in his hand is not a bullet, but a bracelet with dropped beads.

The smaller body leaned on the table next to it, kicked its feet, and sat on it nimbly. At this time, the man just finished filling the magazine.So the little guy bent one knee, put his left hand on his knee and propped his chin, and said in a naughty tone: "It looks easy, Tsuruga-kun."

Tsuruga Ren shrugged, expressing noncommittal.

"If you say that you have never played with a gun before, I will not believe it." This cannot be the level that a person who is exposed to a pistol for the first time should have, even if he has used a prop gun, even if the previous TV series made him have to be on the shooting range. The need to be familiar with shooting, this kind of marksmanship and the sophistication of guns cannot be developed overnight.

But obviously the person in front of him didn't intend to give him a convincing answer: "I used to play with the gun at home when I was a child." At the end of the sentence, there was an elegant smile, which added a frivolity to the answer.

"Even your parents are fans of model guns? Tsuruga-kun, you've been fascinated by it since you were a child..." Chiba Kiya curled her lips, agreeing in complete disbelief.

There is still a difference between model guns and real guns Hey, do you think I'm really a fool?

"Young Master..." Shi Yuan behind him tremblingly stretched out his arms and spread his arms, worried that he would fall off the table all the time. "Sit, sit on a chair!"

"Call me Guiya!" Qianye Guiya waved at him, "Go back to grandpa, are you tired every day?"

"...But the master said that if I dare to lose the young master, I will pack up and go back to Osaka."

"If you bother me any more, I'll go back to Dotonbori to play Yoshimoto Kagetsu!" Chiba Takaya raised her face, with a grumpy face, and the next moment Ishihara disappeared as if evaporated...

puff.Lian smiled softly.

Qianye stared listlessly at the direction where Shi Yuan disappeared, "Living under surveillance every day, even Shi Yuan bores me."

"So... how about it?"

"Ok?"

"The disagreement about the roles of "Seven" has caused trouble."

"Hahaha——" Qianye Guiya raised a bright smile. At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary little boy, with a carefree and innocent smile: "Anyway, those old guys have long seen I don't like it, but if it weren't for me, it would be impossible for JBS to enter the film industry at such a fast speed and become a hit."

With a bit of frivolous conceit, but Tsuruga Ren clearly knew that what Chiba Takaya said was the truth.

"Grandpa is worried that they will be unfavorable to me. After all, JBS movies have gradually gained fame. Now we just need to expand the capital in our hands and follow up gradually. But I always block the way for those old guys to make money."

"I understand, because what Guiya wants to do is to make a good movie, and what they care about is profit. You need to understand the world of those businessmen."

"I care so much about them. Anyway, I don't want those people to get involved in my script."

"Even the audition meeting is not a safe method, and there is no guarantee that they will not tamper with it."

"Naturally, I expected it from the beginning."

"Then..." Lian frowned, a trace of worry flashed across her eyes: "How far can they go?"

"It depends on the person they are going to deal with. If the opponent is a character who can be solved by coercion and temptation at the beginning, then the degree is naturally lighter. If the opponent refuses to obey easily..."

Lian seemed to hear something unharmonious from Qianye's words, and the wrinkles between her brows became tighter and tighter: "Just to replace the person they want?"

"Substitution?" Shi Yuan slapped his thigh with a smile: "Don't be kidding, it's the dominance! Dominance!"

Lian turned sideways, facing Chiba Guiya, leaning against the edge of the table behind her: "About JBS?"

"Obviously, I don't know the specifics. Anyway, according to what my father said, JBS's current properties, owned by those old guys, are equal to those of the Chiba family. But if you look at the group's sense of belonging, Most people still think that the Chiba family has the right to control, and now there is a freak like me, the old guys feel that their status is threatened."

...Is this called not understanding?Lian couldn't help dripping sweat and cursed.

"So whenever I make a request, they must compete with each other to prove that their decision-making power is still firmly in their hands. Every time whoever makes a concession first, he will be weaker. Every three years there will be a The general meeting of shareholders will have a corresponding response to the shares in hand..."

"It's better not to tell me so detailed, after all, I'm not from JBS."

"Oh, I forgot, but Tsuruga-kun has long been regarded as one of my own, so you don't have to worry about that."

Lian smiled lightly and shook her head: "That's not the point."

"Well," Chiba Takaya bit her lips in frustration, "There are not many partners to talk to, even Tsuruga-kun has to maintain this sense of alienation, the world of adults is too boring."

Looking at the dejected look of the child in front of him, he couldn't help but feel that there was a corner in his heart that had been dug up again. The powerlessness and loss that had been buried deep in layers, he and Qianye actually came to the same goal by different routes.

Get in touch with the real world too early.

Prematurely annihilates pure thought.

"Other things, you can talk about it." Lian Qing gently reminded, but the gentleman's face was less hypocritical and sincere, enough to warm people's hearts.

The boy raised his eyes, and met the comforting eyes of Shang Dun He Lian, "But, in my world, there are only these things."

"There's always something else, even if you don't have it, let yourself have it." Lian added lightly.

As smart as Chiba, he sensed something almost the moment he uttered this sentence: "Is this from Tsuruga-kun's experience?"

Lian was stunned for a while, then nodded.

"Okay." The boy jumped off the table, just as someone walked in from the door.The man was carrying a heavy suitcase and walked to them with tired steps.

"Max, finished?" Chiba Guiya couldn't wait to greet him: "You are indeed the top prop master."

"...I don't want to say anything about you anymore, young master...M82A1, you are too much trouble." The middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body neatly put the box on the table, and Chiba Guiya is full of people. Slowly opened under expectant eyes——

In the box, there are a bunch of sniper rifle components that are difficult to distinguish between real and fake. From the workmanship to the color, people are amazed at its ingenuity.

"Here, Tsuruga-kun, come and see your partner!"

Without Chiba Guiya's reminder, Tsuruga Lian had already stood behind them, silently watching the things in the box.

"BJ's only trusted partner, you have to develop a relationship with it from now on."

Lian raised her steps, stepped forward, and brushed her hands over the props that were still faintly shining——

It's as tender as the touch of a lover.

Chiba Guiya gave Max a few words of advice and let Max leave first. At this time, Lian had already withdrawn her scrutiny.

"By the way, I must tell you about this matter, I think you will be happy—" Chiba Guiya seemed to remember something suddenly, and she walked in front of Lian with a little joy: "You know the villain this time Who will play the big boss?"

Lian looked puzzled. When the personnel were not yet determined, his identity as the leading actor had already been confirmed, so he didn't know any other actors who were confirmed.

"He's a top Hollywood star, and most importantly, he's a Japanese—"

Her complexion suddenly subsided, and a harbinger of crisis flashed in Tsuruga Lian's mind.

"As a capable actor, you must know him—"

Not that name.

"he is the one--"

No!

"Cool Huxley."

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

12 month 24 day.

After the "Speeding Car Incident"—or "Kyoko's Captivity" incident, finally there were a few days of peace. Buposhang was ordered by Chishi Company to recuperate, and Tsuruga Lian continued to work with a shoulder injury. What about Kyoko?Except for the fact that Mogami Kyoko was in a dilemma when facing the tumbler couple who were concerned about where she spent the past two days when she returned to the tumbler on the second day, the rest of the time should be defined as a happy one for her.

The filming of "Dark Moon" has ended, and she has received some job requests from Mr. Yan, but because they are all inclined to the dark faction similar to Weixu, she has always been at a loss as to where to start.

[Your character may—— be stereotyped because of this. ]

Up to this moment, she still deeply remembers President Baotian's warning to her. Even if she has already mastered some experience in playing such a resentful role, she can guarantee that she will be more diligent in performing such a role next time, but... ...Is this really good?

It is precisely because characters such as Fallen Angel, Weixu, and Nan (Arzael's PV) are all perceived to be dark and tainted by evil, so the owners of those appeals must also think—"It is most suitable for this girl to be competent for this type of character." But that's it?"So once the word "suitable" appears, she will inevitably face many difficulties if she wants to stand up again.It's not that she puts on a self-righteous posture, but because what she wants to shape is a variety of herself, not a self that always lives on the dark side.

Her eyes stayed on the several petitions in her hand, and she frowned slightly.

The focus of future work must be the selection of "Seven", but according to the advice given by Mr. Yan, she should choose a different job at the same time. After all, the filming of "Seven" will not end at least in the short term. What's more, the number of auditions is uncertain, and only by taking advantage of the popularity of "Dark Moon" to push herself to the screen can she truly gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.

"Goodbye, Kyoko—"

She turned her head in surprise and saw a few girls in the same class talking and laughing with their backpacks on their shoulders. When they met her eyes, they waved the things in their hands to her and left the classroom contentedly.

They were talking to her.

The greetings that took the initiative to say hello, the joy of farewell after class, the inevitable communication between those lovely girls-this is the first time she has experienced it!

Although she knew that the root cause of all these changes was not herself.

It is the rise of "Hongo Mio", and... Tsuruga Ren.

——But so what, she shook her head, took a deep breath, as if there was a raging fire burning her fighting spirit behind her clenched fists—something is better than nothing!

Just wait, one day I will let you choose me because I am "Mogami Kyoko"!

Nodding vigorously, feeling again that he was full of energy at this moment, he noticed that the sunset had gradually set outside the window.

Oops!

She lowered her head to look at the time, hurriedly packed up her books, grabbed her backpack and rushed out the door.

It's too late... Tonight is Maria's Thanksgiving party!

"what!"

She almost bumped into someone head-on, and she stopped suddenly.

The visitor also stopped in her tracks, her slender legs looked even more graceful under the colorful folded skirt, she raised her chin slightly, her eyes and brows were full of contemptuous arrogance, after seeing who the reckless figure was, She blinked slightly, and her lips curled slightly.

Chizuru Saine!

For some reason, her heart trembled violently, and Kyoko frowned for no reason.

"Go home?"

Unexpectedly, Qianhe actually took the initiative to talk to her, which made her feel a little inexplicable and terrified.

Ever since Lian told her about Qianzuru's plot last time, Kyoko has instinctively listed her as an enemy. Although she is not a person who likes to make enemies, but she can do such a thing to Lian, Qianhe Saane is definitely not a kind person !

"...Hmm." Kyoko responded uncomfortably under Qianzuu Sayin's eyes. Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, she always felt that Qianzuru would be able to find something in her. Yes, this kind of shuddering feeling that makes people's skin crawl is really annoying.

She was not worried about what would happen to herself, but about Lian.

Qianhe Sayin's method was able to directly target Tsuruga Lian, which obviously should not be underestimated.She also heard rumors about Qianhe in her class. As the daughter of a big consortium, she doesn't need to join the entertainment industry to enjoy the wealth and glory that ordinary people can't enjoy, but she faces huge resistance to choose She has embarked on the path of an artist—this person should be admired by her, but after learning about her personality and behavior, now Kyoko Mogami just feels insensitive to her.

"See you tomorrow." It was just that, and then Kyoko passed her by—passing by.

"Hey Chizuru—"

Looking sideways at Kyoko's leaving back, she gave a brief glance, and then Chizuru Saine slowly walked into the classroom.

Several girls who usually followed her in front and behind gathered together, and she could feel the unusual excitement from a long distance.

Qianhe Sain didn't care much and found a seat to sit down. Anyway, those idiots' stupid behaviors didn't happen once or twice, she was used to it.

"I didn't expect it to be possible. I just asked him to sign words of encouragement to me. In the end, I got such a heartfelt blessing. Alas, the hard work that has been devoted to collecting has finally paid off! It's great!"

"I got it too, signed it on my bento box, and it will whet my appetite every day after eating~"

"Meika, why are you so disgusting, you actually asked Tsuruga-kun to sign such cheap goods—"

A few sparrows chirped and croaked, which made Qianhe Shayin tap the table with her fingers even more displeased, to draw the girls' attention back.

"What are you discussing?"

The girls still couldn't get rid of the joy on their faces, and squeezed towards her: "Sayin, it's Tsuruga Ren's signature, we got it—"

Tsuruga Ren?

At this stage, Chizuru, who is really afraid of this name, can't help but thump, but still maintains a calm face and asks: "It's just a signature, what's the fuss?" Didn't she cooperate with Tsuruga Ren in a large fashion show? , and also... attended the banquet of celebrities in the industry together.

"What... When you were working with Tsuruga Lian before, you refused to ask for some autographs for us." Some complained and muttered, of course, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, Qianhe Sayin was one of them. Among the individuals with the most potential, even in this class, apart from Nanakura Misen, everyone was unanimously optimistic about Sain at that time.

"I'm not a nymphomaniac like you, how could I chase after Tsuruga Lian for an autograph?"

The arc of the smile with slightly raised lips seemed to be mocking, but it was not so clear, making it difficult to know whether it was a joke or not.

"Hey, Saine, that's too much."

Qianhe Sayin smiled and bent her eyes: "Oh, is anyone upset?" Her eyes swept over the things that the girls were holding, and found that there were quite a lot of autographs this time, and there were not many autographs. It's not just a signature on paper, but even things like lunch boxes and dance shoes are signed with the name "Tsuga Ren".

When did Ren Tsuruga hold an autograph session?How could she not know.

"It's Kyoko——Kyoko helped us find Tsuruga-kun's autograph." Mika Oike explained as if seeing Chizuru Saine's question.

Kyoko?Mogami Kyoko?

This answer made a certain string in her mind vibrate again, reminding the existence of something.

"Didn't Kyoko play the role of Hongo Mio in "Dark Moon"? We thought she could at least have some friendship with Tsuruga-kun, so we tentatively asked her for a favor, but we didn't expect it to succeed!"

"...Is it just some friendship?" Qianhe Sain's index finger stroked the three words "Tsuga Lotus" on the signature.

"What do you mean, Sain?"

"Yeah." Qianhe Shayin shook her head: "It's nothing."

Who is Tsuruga Lian, after going through the previous transaction, she is now more clear.

The gentle gentleman on the surface maintains an elegant and modest posture, but in fact, the conspiracy and unstoppable deterrence in his bones are his true side.

Such a powerful person, even if he would satisfy the little girl's request, he would not be so thoughtful and meticulous, and even have to sign something as required... If the target is her, he will definitely be treated like a poisonous snake Smile and shirk it.Holding a bunch of items that strangers want to sign, let yourself satisfy the requirements of others like a signing machine, such a self-deprecating thing, even if you don't care, it will only meet the basic needs.

It seems that after the phone number incident last time, there are some new and interesting things worthy of her attention.

Kyoko Mogami, what method did you use to get Ren Tsuruga to accept you?

I need to observe more carefully.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

7:00 p.m.

"Okay! It's done!" Squeezing the sweet fresh milk cream on the last small cake, she was finally relieved and let go of her hands happily.

"An additional dinner No. 2 in the living room—!"

"Please send Dessert No. 2 into the living room—!"

Eh?

"Sorry—! Please check the Devil's Forest Dinner No. 5—!"

"Number 6, please, too—!"

what?

"Excuse me—please check the dessert No. 3 in Devil's Forest and Fairy Valley——!"

"Okay! Number 3——! Finished——!"

Wow!

Big...Although everyone has very low qualifications, they are all professionals...!

Their hands and feet are so fast that I am dizzy!

"Big sister~!"

Hearing this familiar call, she quickly liberated herself from the state of being overwhelmed: "Ma, Maria? Why did you come here? This is the kitchen!" Dirty and messy, no matter what she said Tonight's birthday star, how can he come here?

Maria was wearing a decent little suit, even her hair was done like a polite British gentleman, and she smiled at Jingzi obediently: "Big sister, Mo Zi is here~"

"What——?! But I can't go there for the time being!" Although she was still wearing a chef's robe, although she was not stained with any oil, after all, she had been designing dessert dishes, but she just rashly left the unfinished work Letting go, she also felt uneasy.

I promised Maria that I would cook 3 more dishes and it would be over. Kyoko clapped her hands together and accompanied her with a pitiful face, which made Maria laugh loudly: "Big sister, you are helping me, why did you say sorry to me?" Well~"

Jingzi couldn't help but bent her head and patted her head: "Because it's your birthday, you have to help reception—"

"I'm very happy!" Maria shook her head hard and said with a smile. "And it's agreed, today is my big sister's Thanksgiving party, you have a part too!"

Kyoko's face was filled with tenderness: "It's good that Maria is happy, and I will be happy too."

"...I think this sentence is very perfunctory." Puckering her mouth, Her Lady Queen showed suspicious eyes: "Big sister, are you unhappy?"

Why do you think so? Does she look unhappy?Kyoko just wanted to explain, but she couldn't ask Maria quickly——

"Is it because—A-Lian didn't come?"

Ok?

--ah? !Ma, Maria, why would you think so!

Realizing what kind of weird question Maria asked, Kyoko suddenly felt a little at a loss as to how to respond. "How could it have anything to do with this?!"

"Big sister is lying!"

"Where am I lying?"

Maria smiled maliciously: "Look, look, your face is blushing~" Sure enough, the eldest sister has been a little bit wrong recently, and she will become very sensitive to any issues related to A-Lian. The last time she and Grandpa observed There is nothing wrong with it.

Kyoko was still caught in the vortex of contradictions and couldn't extricate herself. While worrying about what Maria would find out, she was really aware of her own thoughts.Because the incident between her and Bupo happened a few days ago, Lian was injured a little bit, and the work announcement was adjusted accordingly, so they were temporarily notified tonight that they might not be able to be there, so they had to try their best to come.

In this way, the chance of seeing him today is small again.

Three days, three days is not long... But now, it is not short.The work adjustment made Tsuruga Lian busy for three whole days. Naturally, she was not as busy as the No. [-] ace in the entertainment industry, but she would not want to disturb him by herself and bring him unnecessary trouble.

Although she made a call, since those two phone calls during his free time interrupted his interview work, or disturbed (in Kyoko's opinion) his rest, Kyoko patiently stopped trying again.

On the other hand, we will meet anyway!

She was only worried about Tsuruga's injury, and whether he would encounter problems in his work after that, which was not a very important matter.

Because it was her injury, she has the right to worry, right?

...However, she clearly felt that things were not that simple, and that the eagerness in her chest to see Tsuruga Lian could not be explained by just a "worry".

She still remembered that when she called him the morning before yesterday with the mentality of giving it a try, his nasal voice was obviously just woken up from sleep. Even though he tried his best to cover it up and pretended to be awake to return her call, she still knew Having disturbed his sleep—it was 10:[-] in the morning—he must have worked all night the day before yesterday.

However, at that time, she didn't hang up the phone quickly. This was the first time she was so disrespectful of other people's feelings.

He seemed delighted by the phone call.

Tsuruga...Lian...

Chewing this name in my mouth, my heart seems to warm up.

At this moment, looking at Maria, who had changed into a lace dress, with a happy smiling face acting like a baby in President Baotian's arms, Kyoko's eyes turned into a bay of clear spring, the light and lively spring water warmly accommodated everyone The view reflected in the spring.

Happy, feeling it.

"Really...that's great..." Qin Nan Zuojiang, dressed in a noble evening gown, was standing beside her: "You... think you should be responsible..."

Kyoko let out a "huh".

"Because you... made this child say that his birthday was the anniversary of his mother's death, and he became very depressed." So working hard to organize this Thanksgiving party has become the focus of Kyoko's work these days, isn't it? ?

"...Well..." Kyoko raised her face, touched her chin with her fingertips and thought, "It's true to say so—but to be correct, I don't think I have to be 'responsible'..."

"I just feel very sad," she paused, "Because Maria actually hates her birthday..."

"Maria, she must still think that her mother's death is her own fault. Although I really want to spend a happy birthday with the people I like, but if I receive everyone's blessing on my mother's death day, I will feel very sad..."

"The words 'Happy Birthday'...are so heavy..."

"At least, on December 12th."

The phrase "Happy Birthday".

It's just too heavy.

Just like me, I can't hear blessings, but I long for blessings.

Maria, I wish you could be happy, so I seem to have heard that sentence——

happy Birthday.

[Mom, what day is it today, why are you wearing a kimono? ]

[Today is...Xiaojing's birthday. ]

[But why is mother crying...]

[No, come on, Kyoko...]

happy Birthday.

It seems that there is something, following the memory, dripping from the corner of the eye.

When it flows away, it disappears.

"Master Tsuruga Ren—"

"Master Soko--"

"Driving to-"

what? !

She turned her head in surprise...

Among the two neat rows of guards of honor, he was wearing a well-tailored brown woolen overcoat—the long, straight coat was ironed as flat as a military uniform, which complemented his tall and straight figure, making him the most dazzling in the crowd.

Their eyes met in the next second, and he suddenly smiled.

Traveling through the sea of ​​people is only for her smile.

Belongs to her, Tsuruga Ren.

The author has something to say: The latest message: Maria’s Thanksgiving Party is still written according to the main flow of the manga, some parts have been simplified, some parts have been modified, and some parts have been skipped. Although the dialogue is also based on manga, but Added some of my own.The most important thing is that the main line is still serving Lianjing, ahem.I don’t know if it will make people feel weird~ In addition, if the part of Lianjing feels that the writing is too nasty and unacceptable, please leave a message, and I will make corresponding changes, because these few Lianjings have indeed written a lot~

58☆ACT.52 lucky number 25

Master Lian——!Long live--!

Lord Soko--!Long live--!

"How can there be such an embarrassing way of welcoming..." What "Sir Yuki"... If I were to come by myself, I would definitely refuse to do so!Mr. She, who was wrapped up in the ribbons of the salute, couldn't help complaining. His distressed appearance was in stark contrast to the man beside him who was gently brushing off the ribbons on his shoulders, and even smiled at him. .

"As long as you get involved with the president, you will suddenly encounter such a thing beyond imagination." Lian couldn't help but chuckle, comforting the frustrated society.Small accidents of this degree are not surprising to him. When he comes into contact with the president of LME, the hardness of his heart must be increased by 200%. Ah", the leisurely thought surprised him a little.

just one
