Star X Star[Skip Beat]

After a while, he couldn't help raising his eyes to look in a certain direction again, but before he caught the figure he wanted to see in the crowd again, he heard a crisp voice like a yellow warbler calling his name.

Following the sound, it turned out that the child Maria ran towards him with open arms.

Just when he raised his doting expression and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, Maria stopped not far away.

He blinked puzzled.

Pulling up the corner of her skirt neatly, making herself bow like a pure little lady, Maria then continued with a smile: "Welcome to... our party."

"You are so polite..." Lian bent down gracefully, and returned the standard gentleman's courtesy, her manner and speech seemed to be plated with elegant gold rims, making her look noble and refined: "It is my honor to be invited to participate. "

The extremely gentle expression made Maria laugh happily.

Allen is still the best!Well, of course, the big sister also makes her like it!

The gentleman's show here just ended, and suddenly there was a voice between them: "Welcome, please have a drink."

She turned her head and saw a plain and undressed girl in a chef's gown, holding a tray and saluting to him.

"Hey! Kyoko!"

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate." Kyoko still nodded politely in response.

"Chef?" She Xingyi was a little curious: "Why are you dressed like that?"

"Well, I'm a chef and pastry chef!" He replied energetically. At the end of the sentence, Kyoko secretly glanced at the man squatting in front of Maria.

"The dishes and desserts in the venue are all made by my elder sister!"

Hearing this, Jingzi hurriedly defended: "It's only the first plate of each course, there's not much left from what I made myself~"

"Thank you." Lian stood up from the half-squatting position in front of Maria, smiling.

The words "Thank you" came out of his mouth, which made her feel a little sweet.

Three days away... Maybe the word "far away" is not used... But she really felt that it seemed that she hadn't seen him for a long time.

Maybe it was because of the sudden change in those two days of getting along day and night, which made her unable to adapt.

The wine specially prepared for them was sent out, and the venue suddenly darkened for some reason.

President Takarata's unique mellow voice sounded in the venue, with an unusual sense of eerieness in his composure.

Both She and Maria were attracted by the light in the center of the stage, and they took a few steps forward in unison.Jingzi was still in a daze, but felt a breathless powerful aura suddenly added to her side.

She raised her head slightly, she was too familiar with this breath, so familiar that even if she didn't look at her, she could be sure who it was.

"Lian?" He didn't keep up with Shangshe and Maria, but stopped beside her, making her feel that Lian must have something to tell her.

He just quietly looked up at the searchlighted stage in front of him, holding the cocktail she made for him in his hand, as if he didn't pay attention to her question at all, but his low and intoxicating voice was surrounded by President Baotian's strong presence. Under high power, it still clearly eliminated all obstacles, and passed it into her ears——

"It's so hard to be alone."

Suddenly, he looked him over and over again - Lian really didn't look at her, but that sentence should be said to her, right?

It would be too embarrassing if she didn't tell her but she took the initiative to respond... So she still asked suspiciously: "Talk to me?"

Turning her head slowly, Dun Helian was quite helpless: "Tell me, who else can I tell?"

"...Because...because...you didn't look at me."

"I'm watching." Lian gave her an unexpected answer, "It's just that you didn't feel it."

"Where are you watching?" She still asked in puzzlement, which made Lian Dun feel powerless.

This girl's ability to get to the bottom of things far exceeds her level of romance.

So he made a decision without hesitation.

While Kyoko was still waiting for Lian to explain, the hand hanging by her side was taken into the palm of her hand without any trace.

The dark venue, the jubilant crowd, they are among the star-studded, today he is no longer the protagonist who will always be watched, he can enjoy this rare peace in the corner comfortably.No need to worry about being noticed, no need to worry about being disturbed, raised the cocktail and took a sip, continuing to maintain the superficial grace and elegance, but the continuous heat from the right hand seemed to pass through the blood vessels and pour into the atrium.

Until this day, I was finally able to no longer force myself to do any patience, and held this soft but firm hand according to my heart.

Just holding it, the heart throbbed uncontrollably.

If he didn't have excellent acting skills, maybe he would have exposed his restlessness long ago.

It is not as warm as suet white jade, let alone as smooth as brocade, and may have a little callus on the palm or fingertips—but it is more tender than any other hand in this world. He can't be himself.

"...will...will be seen." Unprepared, Jingzi suddenly lowered her head, as if she could no longer lift it up, thinking of Mr. She's warning, she hurriedly tried to break free.

However, it was held even tighter.

"You can't escape."

She raised her head slightly, and he was looking at her.

The edge of light in the distance shines along the air, and spreads a halo like a mist on his side face. The side facing the light is like a holy outline like a poem, but the side against the light is as deep as midnight. And mysterious.

The icy eyes in the darkness, faintly revealing the brilliance of stars, turned into black color that dazzled her.

She has seen Tsuruga Lian's smile countless times, anger, joy, ridicule, sadness, helplessness... He can express all emotions with a smile, but at this moment, she admits that she has never felt him like this With a smile, his heartbeat stopped and he got out of the car.

No words can be found to describe it, and no description can compare to the feeling that my heart is beating wildly at this moment. The corners of his mouth slightly hooked, captured her thoughts of trying to rein in the precipice.

so cunning...

She once said...

He is too cunning.

For a man like Tsuruga Ren, he only needs to use the masculine charm he is used to, not to mention a young girl like her, even a mature woman who has experienced many battles, cannot resist this ambiguous attraction.

So he used this trick on her! — so cunning!

Pressing her heaving chest, she even wanted to close her eyes to calm down, but she refused to admit that she would have such a reaction.

His hand was still firmly held by him, the warmth of the big palm expelled the chill, the nerve line connected to the heart seemed to be firmly locked with him through the heat source in the palm of his hand, his slightest move could make him sensitive extremely.

The next moment she tried to escape, she felt that her back seemed to be trapped in a thick leaning, and she opened her eyes suddenly, only to find that she was already in front of him at some point, being embraced by him.

"Mr. Tsuruga——!!!" The title that reminded herself to be careful in public was remembered this time, and she raised her head anxiously, wanting to move her body even more.

"—Hush." ​​Lian's long fingers lightly touched her lips, but her smiling eyes couldn't allow her to retreat: "Do you really want people to find out?"

The dark screen is their best protection, and even with the faint light, if you don't look carefully, you will think they are very close at best... Who would have thought that it was he who hugged her in front of him—now The flow of people all leaned towards the center of the stage, even to protect her from being crowded, this level of hugs made people doubtful.

He is not really that impulsive person, at least he knows when to do what is most suitable.

And he has missed so many impulsive opportunities, at this moment, it can only be regarded as belonging to Tsuruga Lian, a little bit, a little willful.

Mogami Kyoko was about to faint.

No, no, I won't be dizzy because of a hug. Although it does have a little influence on this aspect, what is lingering in her mind now is Mr. She's advice, even if the people invited to this Thanksgiving party are all She and Maria have carefully screened out the small journalists who are not so easy to sneak in, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case...

"do not think too much."

The bewitching voice sounded softly in the ears, bringing a burst of numbing heat.

She couldn't help trembling slightly.

No matter how many times she tried to adapt, she would still blush.

No one could see her flushed face clearly in the dark, but she knew very well that the temperature on her face at this moment would definitely be able to cook a poached egg.

... Lian, are you making fun of her?

The more dangerous the thing, the more he happily carried it out——

"Aren't you afraid of being seen?!" The voice raised slightly, but still maintained a frequency that no one around could hear.

"will not."

She suddenly turned to look at him, and he winked at her mischievously——

"Believe me."

……

……

...can—how can I do it?

If you don't believe it, you can't escape.

Ugh.

She was still wearing the clumsy chef's gown, just like the most loyal old servants in the castle, with a humble posture and ordinary servant attire, but he was wearing the latest Armani long coat this year, holding a high He held her in one hand and took her into his arms.This weird combination made her look even more embarrassed.

"You're such a weirdo..." She was talking to herself, and there were many things she hadn't discovered about Tsun Helian's other side, which made her dumbfounded again and again, and she felt that she was getting more and more incomprehensible about him.

Thinking about it, but involuntarily clenched his hand.

It doesn't matter whether you are blushing or uneasy, since you can't escape, why not follow your own heart...

She clearly... misses it.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

"The ribbon of 'Joan of Arc'!" Maria's face flushed, "Huh? This is the first time I've seen this style!!" After seeing Lian give him a birthday present, the excitement was beyond words , holding the ribbon in his hand and couldn't put it down.

"I put a little effort into it, and it's specially designed for Maria," Lian Ban knelt down, letting Maria and Yi Yi get close to him: "To Maria who is still in love with me this year as always—" Seeing He couldn't help but feel happy when she jumped up and down: "The gift prepared with the 'heart' of gratitude..."

A shy smile appeared on the little girl's round face.

"Thank you or something, it's too strange ~ Lian..."

"Starting today, please take care of me too—"

An extremely familiar face came into view the moment Ren Tsuruga turned her head, and Maria, who turned her head to look at the same time, also widened her eyes in amazement with him.

The vivid "Tsuga Ren" with the same proportion as Maria is waiting for Maria's embrace with open arms.

"Come~" Kyoko held up the arm of "Tsuga Ren", imitating Ren's gentle tone of greeting.

"This is what I gave to Maria—the 'heart' of gratitude!!"

Jingzi grinned happily, her brows and eyes almost connected together.

Click, the sound of someone's jaw dropping.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Under the exclamations of "Unbelievable! Such a huge Ren doll! So beautiful! So gorgeous!", everyone looked at Maria who was dancing and dancing with the Tsuruga Ren doll in cold sweat, and The girl next to her, who looked at the recipient with a sense of accomplishment, immediately sympathized with Tsun Helian.

I really... like it very much——Sokoichi suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Sure enough, I like it very much——Qinnan Zuojiang feels that he should not belong to this planet.

There was silence all around.

[Because it's too realistic, and it's that size, I'm the only one who feels horrible...] The expression of astonishment froze on Sha Xingichi's face, and his face looked pale, while Soue who was on the side was already speechless.

...But no matter how surprised you are, it's not as sympathetic as the dazed and silent back of Tsuruga Lian.

"Oh~ why?! Why~ sister!!"

"Ok?"

"Didn't it mean that Lian's doll would not be given away!"

"Because..." Jingzi raised a smile: "It was a trial product at that time..." And it was the first one.

——"I can't, give away the trial product, right?

——"It was originally a trial product for Maria."

The shallow smile slowly entered the hearts of the people, and the warmth she radiated at that moment seemed to be able to melt all ice and snow.

Maria hugged her excitedly: "I'm so happy!!"

Infected by her joy, Kyoko gently hugged her back, but unexpectedly met his gaze.

He was looking at her, but he didn't know what emotion to use.

[It was a prototype at that time...] It's just...is that so?The reason for not giving the Maria doll back then?She looked a little embarrassed by him, but she kept thinking about the answer he gave Maria just now.

Because...that was the first one, she made it, the original "Tsuga Lotus"...

Letting herself clear the redundant thoughts in her mind, she made a face at him, and said again: "Since—Maria is so happy, then look at this again!" She took out two Gadgets: "'Refreshing Mask' and 'Serenity Mask'!! Two-style package replacement FACE set comes with a set!"

It turned out to be a replacement mask with a different face of the Tsuruga Ren doll...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah'

"No way——!!!" The surroundings were even more amazed.

Maria was so ecstatic at the moment that she didn't know what to do, she just kept waltzing with the Tsuruga Ren doll, shouting, "It's amazing!! It's amazing!! Sister——!! I'm so happy ~~~"

To make Maria happy like this, she is also very happy.

With a smiling expression, she feels that today's goal has been accomplished.

"...Starting today, please take care of me too~"

There was a sudden chill down the spine.

That was a sentence she said herself, but when a man imitated it in a feminine and sweet tone, she only felt goosebumps all over her body.

Stiff as if she had become a puppet in Maria's hands, being tightly restrained and unable to move, Mogami Kyoko felt that her future was in jeopardy.

"Because I want to answer this sentence, so let me say it first..." She gave the gift first, and then imitated her own tone, and let the "Tsuga Lian" doll make a grand debut. She really had the wishful thinking Good - Ren Tsuruga thought so.

Tension, tense body.

Is he... angry?

She took a sudden step excitedly, wanting Lian to notice herself who was anxious to explain: "No!! I didn't mean that! Actually..."

Uh……

brake.

Slightly raising her eyebrows, Lian was puzzled: "Actually?"

She quietly lowered her head: "...That...isn't..." She concentrated on putting together the words she wanted to express in her mind, but no matter what, she felt that it seemed difficult to explain her feelings clearly to him, so she hesitated intermittently endlessly.

"...I'm sorry... I think so..." No, it's not just sorry!

"...I have asked so much from you...but I..." Clutching the hem of the chef's robe tightly, she pressed her lips tightly for a moment, and finally summoned up the courage to say: "...do it like letting Lian The thing about you selling yourself..."

"...Do you feel it?" If you do this without considering other people's feelings, it will indeed make people uncomfortable. "Are you so eager to push me to another girl?" He looked very hurt.

"Wait, wait a minute, how can Maria count?!"

"If..." he said quietly.

"Eh?

"If I give the Kyoko doll to Fuposhang..."

"How can Maria compare with a bastard like Shotaro!"

"Or you give the Tsuruga Lian doll to Miss Qinnan..."

"Zoujiang definitely won't want it!"

……

……

This girl, is she trying to piss him off?

"Why can't it be counted? Maria and Bupo both like the owner of the puppet, right? As for Maria and Qinnan, they are both your most important friends, aren't they?" He turned his head and looked at her calmly, looking There was no expression of joy or anger, but Kyoko could feel a wave of disappointment in the aura around him.

She couldn't help imagining along with his assumptions... If Lian really gave her doll to Bupo, as far as the current Bupo is concerned, she probably wouldn't refuse... On the contrary... maybe... just maybe!Like it maybe?Of course, the premise must be that the person who gives the doll is not Lian... However, thinking about it like that, it feels like a big hole has been opened in the heart, and something is constantly being sucked out of her heart. I'll give it to Bupo...to her...

[Here, Kyoko's doll, I don't want it anymore, I give it to you! ]

[What are you doing to me, I don't want such disgusting things! ] After Bupo finished speaking, he grabbed the doll and threw it on the ground.

[Neither do I! ] Tsuruga kicked him back again.

[Who wants something like this for little girls to play with! ] Bupo picked up the doll and made a gesture to throw it far away, but his eyes met the pure and charming eyes of the doll, but the hand that wanted to throw it away hesitated a step.

[It’s up to you whether you want it or not. ] Tsuruga Lian waved her hand and walked away.

Seeing him disappear, Bupo raised the full-length Jingzi doll in his hand, and suddenly smiled evilly.

——Mogami Kyoko's brain theater, completed.

"Don't ah ah ah ah——" Jingzi let out a heartfelt cry of unwillingness, and her face was distorted into "Scream".

"Does it hurt?"

Kyoko nodded hastily with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Do you know my sorrow?" The wicked demon king followed step by step.

Even if it’s not for Bupo, give Lian’s doll to Soujiang... I think of the doll with Tsuruga Ren’s face being hugged by Soujiang...a beautiful and elegant lady with a handsome and noble perfect gentleman ...

——I feel very uncomfortable.

Why does she have such strange thoughts...

Is this... jealousy?

Holding her flushed cheeks, she suddenly felt that she had no face to face Lian and Zuojiang.

"You seem to be thinking a lot."

"I'm very sorry~~~~~~~!!!" She didn't dare to raise her head, but instead bowed deeply: "Please forgive me for being a villain who will take revenge~~~~!!!"

"No, it's not that far..." Huh? ——Everything he did to her was nothing more than "benevolence" in her eyes?

Jingzi obviously didn't listen to Lian's last words. In her heart that couldn't calm down, one thought after another flashed across her like a sea tide...

It must be——it’s because of a sense of guilt... why did I only feel it a little bit now——something bitter came up in my heart.

Seeing her expression of deep self-blame, Lian realized that she seemed to have teased her a little too much, so she cleared her throat and coughed twice: "If you really want to make amends—"

"I want Kyoko doll."

bang.

There was a stone hitting her back, and it was even more difficult for her to straighten her waist while maintaining her bowed posture.

"Jing, Jingjing... Zi... Jing Zi's... doll?" A trembling voice came out from under her covered hair.

"Maria can have Tsuruga Ren's doll, why can't I have Kyoko's doll?——Am I not more important than Maria in your heart?" The new wave of teasing, but he didn't even speak. He couldn't hold back the smile that leaked to his lips.

"No—well—are—?" Her waist lowered.

"Okay? Well, that's a promise."

"No—" Jingzi raised her body in a panic and pulled him back, just in time to bump into his teasing expression. After a while, she gritted her teeth and popped out a few words between her teeth: "You——teasing me?"

He pretended to be innocent.

"Tsu Helian, are you teasing me?!" She clenched her fists tightly, seeing her as a joke like this made her struggle with herself for a long time, forcing her to cry with guilt, and it turned out to be another vicious joke from him in the end ?

You old and cunning thousand-year-old fox!

"It looks normal."

"what--"

The people around had already dispersed following Maria's path to find her father with the doll in her arms. Only She and Zuojiang watched the scene of happy enemies from a distance, paying attention with great interest.

"I've recovered from the emotion just now, that's good." Lian stretched out her hand to scratch her hair, letting her short hair slip through her fingers smoothly.

So...was it to cheer her up?

"Don't push me to anyone—" Stroking his hair, he murmured, "Unless it's Mogami Kyoko."

Boom~ There is a fire burning presumptuously.

……

……

"Speaking of which, since I can make my doll so exquisitely...that is, when I'm not paying attention, you..."

ah?

"You've been seen as an adulterer—" Sighed, I don't know where I was seen... I'm so sorry...

! ! ! ! !

The fire was so hot—hot enough to burn through someone's face, so hot that it scorched—

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and a and

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

At midnight, the clock strikes 12 o'clock.

…it's over…

12 month 24 day.

"...The 25th..."

"Yeah," Jingzi turned her head with a hearty smile, "It really makes people reluctant to part."

--ah?Society...President?

Realizing that the middle-aged man in his field of vision had replaced Tsuruga Ren's original position, Kyoko couldn't help but wondered in surprise: "President?" What's going on, why is he dressed like this again?

At the same time as he was wondering, a sense of disappointment that he couldn't even detect clearly occupied his heart.

... Didn't even say hello ... When did you leave?

Or was he too engrossed in the party to ignore his farewell?

"No, I'm Daddy-Long-Legs!" The coquettish middle-aged man still didn't give up on his cosplay.Under the background of the traditional British gentleman's clothing, even the tone of speech has a deep British demeanor, and the unpredictable and serious expression makes Jingzi even more inexplicable: "It's ready, let's reveal the second part of the party. Come on, girl."

"what……?"

After finishing speaking, she was so shocked by what she saw in front of her that she couldn't say anything... Those smart eyes were wide open, and even the opened mouth could stuff an egg.

The gorgeous floats pushed the huge castle cake in front of her little by little, and the salute was fired not far away. The faces of those present, those who knew and those who didn’t know, were full of excitement——

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY—Kyoko—!"

The mood seems to have wings, and it turns into a happy blue bird. With the birthday song sung in unison, it flies out of the window, flying higher and higher, farther and farther...

The words "Happy Birthday" I've been...

It was heard on the 24th.

--always……

The holiday celebrated alongside Christmas, with...twice the excitement and joy, is my favorite day.

However, I always feel...

Today, I have been pretending not to find...a small hole in my heart.

something warmed... tightly...

Filled with... as if—

No... is it really full?

There also seemed to be a small corner where a vital component was missing and the wind was blowing in.Although it was just a slight wind, it made me feel so real, the temperature difference of that degree was so distinct.

Accepting everyone's gifts and blessings, filled with tears of gratitude and joy, she gradually calmed down when there were only waiters in twos and threes left in the lobby who began to clean up the mess to verify the saying "everything in the world never ends". That excited heart.

Satisfied with the traces of excitement left in the hall, she laughed a little silly.

The cosmetics that Zuo Jiang gave her...

The boss and the proprietress care like parents...

The unexpected surprise given to her by the president and LME...

This birthday was the most unforgettable for her. She had friendship, family affection... All the warmth, compared to the past, increased exponentially... It's just...

Looking to a certain corner, in that direction, at that position, there was a tall, thin and tall figure standing there, holding her hand, and hugging her into his arms - just thinking about it, his face couldn't help Red again.Now, the place is empty, but she still seems to see that there is such a tall silhouette, standing sideways in a beautiful posture, looking at the direction of the stage, so focused and elegant.

Is it her... greedy... Although I found out later that Lian squeezed out time to attend the short gratitude meeting, and left early because of the announcement before 12 o'clock, but...she really hoped that this birthday One day, I can see his figure.

Strange, I was obviously not so self-willed before, Mogami Kyoko, you will cause trouble for others like this!

Seeing him tired from continuous work these days, she couldn't bear to bother him anymore.

As a senior who leads by example, he has worked very hard, let alone for her, he has not given up...

[Don't push me to anyone except Mogami Kyoko. ]

The chest is warm.

The feeling I have never had before is different from the love and care given by the proprietress and Zuo Jiang...even compared to Bu Po Shang.

She had never experienced it before, and she didn't know that she would be so at a loss.

That kind of nervous feeling that I don't know where to put my hands, and I am looking forward to something in the nervousness, but in the end, I can only blush and heartbeat myself... so useless!

She didn't want to be led away passively by him forever, always feeling that she had lost from the beginning.

He looked so calm and calm, but in the end it was her who was ashamed.

Thinking about a bunch of what she had and what she didn't, her messy thoughts made her sink for a long time. Finally, there was a midnight wind blowing across her cheeks, carrying the chill of winter night, which made her shiver and finally woke up.

She was carrying a small bag, standing at the door of the welcome hall, the automatic door behind her had been closed for a long time, she was exposed to the slightly desolate night like this, letting the cold wind sweep over her temples, and a few strands of short hair were blown messy , but she didn't care at all.

Strange... The boss and the boss's wife clearly said they would go back together, why haven't they seen anyone for so long?

Looking up at the sky, it was snowing a few days ago, and today it finally cleared up. At this time, the sky is full of stars, as if countless broken diamonds were scattered on the dark blue sky, shining brightly. Understated yet luxurious light.In the sky where the moon cannot be seen, the stars have instead become the protagonists. Qing Lingling seems to be flowing bright spots of light, spreading farther and farther, scattered all over the entire sky.

"It's so beautiful." She exclaimed, such a day reminded her of the days in Kyoto.

Before I knew it, I had come so far.

It turns out that Tokyo also has such a color.

It's just because this city is too prosperous and violent, even in the middle of the night, there are still neon lights everywhere, so she ignored it, it turned out that this world enjoys the same sky.

And she, no matter how her appearance changes and her style changes, she is still the same Kyoko Mogami.

After being knocked down, will the self standing up again get the same result... After all, she is still her.

In the eyes of that man, a very vulgar and very boring woman.

She only greets and salutes in a regular manner, and she has an ordinary appearance and occasionally runs wild.

Nothing... Confidence.

This is the real reason why I haven't accepted Lian all this time, I don't believe in love, I don't believe who can really love me, let alone Tsuruga Lian who is used to standing at the top all the time?

Afraid of repeating the same mistakes, in fact, the self who said to be strong is still a coward.

"Huh..." Spread out your palms, and blow a few mouthfuls of hot air on it, the hot air turns into white smoke and disperses.

It's cold, why don't the boss and the proprietress come...

bell bell bell...

At the corner of the long street in the middle of the night, a crisp silver bell rang.

At night in Tokyo, the downtown area is still bustling, but this is not a downtown area, and it is the site of the president of LME. Obviously, there will not be too many messy and redundant places and unrelated people.

That's why the sound was too abrupt. In this era, it's really unimaginable that such old silver bells can still be heard on Long Street at midnight.

So she couldn't hold back her curiosity and looked around.

Faintly, an orange-yellow thing slowly drove up in the night.

She turned her head, and the outline of the thing made her think it was a car, but it seemed too tall for a car.

Then I heard a rattling sound in my ears, rising and falling regularly.

Take a closer look, and there are two clusters of white in front of the orange-yellow thing.

Feeling more and more incredible, she had no intention of avoiding it at all, but took a few steps in that direction instead.

When her eyes completely grasped the appearance of that thing, she was completely dumbstruck.

——"Princess Jingzi, please get in the car~" The thing was already close in front of me, and then slowly stopped. There was a creature in front of the car holding the rein, and nodded to her, with a courteous voice.

The reason why it is called a creature is because she does not know what character is in it—well, are there other possibilities besides humans?The guy was wearing a mouse Muppet suit.

car?Cart = pumpkin carriage.

Mogami Kyoko was stunned in place, unable to advance or retreat.

This, how can this kind of thing be on the street... Well, she shouldn't doubt the supernatural powers of President Takada if she can drive an elephant or a pirate ship into the LME, because this is a shoujo manga... But... Was there a birthday party? Is it?

With a stiff Baozi face and mung bean eyes widened, Jingzi stared at the scene in front of her in a daze.

"If the princess doesn't get on the car in time, the magic will fail~" the mouse coachman learned to speak in a flat voice, but it sounded weird.

However, Kyoko heard - magic, two words.

Pumpkin carriages, mouse coachmen, magic and... Cinderella? !

The two eyes suddenly shot out, shining brightly and full of the dreamy colors in fairy tales.

Clasping her hands on her chest, the girl almost narrowed her eyes in excitement.

Cinderella... Cinderella!

Beloved with magic blessing～cute elf～exquisite clothes～

Just before she stepped into the car, she suddenly realized something: "By the way, the boss and the boss lady..."

"They have already gone back ~ please don't worry princess, this is a special gift for your birthday ~"

Eh--?

"Is...the president?"

"The princess will know right away!" As soon as the words were finished, the coachman drove the pumpkin carriage to turn slowly. Jingzi just climbed into the carriage, but found that there was a figure in the carriage, which shocked her.

"Ha~ You are Xiao Jing? I am JELLYWOODS~" The figure actively lifted the veil on her head and greeted warmly. Although she seemed to want to maintain a sense of mystery, she seemed unable to control herself "It's really difficult to drive a carriage with insufficient lights..." But she didn't say how long, and in the next second, the clean gauze had already been put on her shoulders——

"My name is JELLYWOODS, known as the 'witch' in the beauty industry, and today I am also the fairy who gave Cinderella a new life-with the name JELLYWOODS, let your life..."

The make-up tools in her hand are flying between her fingers——

"Get changed—"

what?

59☆ACT.53 happy birthday

Life like a fairy tale is every girl's childhood dream, right?

Put on a princess tutu skirt and live in a world with elves or fairies. Although there may be bad guys, they will be defeated after all. Although they may be unlucky, they will be happy in the end. Even the most inconspicuous girl, But if you ask her to have a sincere and kind heart, she will always keep the clouds open to see the moonlight.

And most importantly, we are all waiting for the predestined prince.

He either braved the thorns and thorns, or came here on a horse, bravely fighting the dragon, wit fighting the witch, and finally saved the true love from the fire and water, and then the two lived happily together.

Naturally, I didn't know what love was when I was looking forward to it when I was young, but I
