Star X Star[Skip Beat]

Now, within the short time he was thinking, the two life-threatening spirits had rushed within a hundred meters, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly staggered back—subconsciously covering his face—! !

Eh?Wait a minute, why cover your face?

The moment he realized, looking forward from between the fingers covering his face...

Crack, the sound of the finish line breaking apart.

At that moment, as if in slow motion, Mogami Kyoko and Ozawa Hitomi rushed to the finish line at the same time, and the expression that was originally like the king of Hades showed an incomparably comfortable expression at the moment when they reached the finish line——

They have arrived.

Silence.

Snapped.

The ribbon of celebration seemed to be pulled subconsciously, but unfortunately it was a squib.

"Huhu... eh..." Jingzi sat slumped on the ground, looked around at the stunned faces of everyone, then turned to Ozawa, "I, we—huha—ha—we—crime, sin , Fouled... Is it..."

"Ghost...Ghost, ghost knows..." Hitomi Ozawa was too tired to speak, and collapsed on the ground regardless of his image.

Until this moment, the surrounding staff just woke up like a dream——

Slap—wow——

With the sound of the salute, the colored stripes flew all over the sky in an instant, and landed on the heads of the two of them in an eloquent manner.

The two dirt buns, who looked like they had rolled in the mud several times, finally settled their minds and were surrounded by the staff.

"Congratulations—congratulations for being tied for No.1——"

Hearing these words, Kyoko also collapsed to the ground.

Panting heavily, the violent ups and downs of the chest seemed to be unable to restrain the joy from the bottom of my heart.

It doesn't matter if the legs and feet are about to be broken, No.1, they are No.1!

"You... you... obviously... faster than me..." Hitomi Ozawa lay side by side on the mountain road with her, his dirty face turned to her: "w-why... on purpose... slow, slow Come down—"

"I owe you... what I owe you - even..."

"Then, why not just...give me No.1..." Ozawa Hitomi sneered and turned around.

"You, you think beautifully—"

At the end of the conversation, the two of them burst into laughter together in tacit understanding, and were finally helped up by the staff on both sides.

At this time, Lily Rainy and Arai Saki arrived late.

The two of them, who were supposed to win, looked at the two "indigenous people" who came out of nowhere on the ground and looked at each other. Perhaps their first question was——

Who are these?

"Miss Kyoko from the LME office, come to tell us about your victory at the moment—?" After the players arrived one after another and rested for a while, Ryu Ikema also approached them.

Kyoko was basically unable to stand up straight at this time, but she still held on to the tree trunk and did not sit down, because all the experience told him that the result of sitting down——

vomit--

Well, the lessons learned from sitting down are the group of beautyless beauties on the side of the road who are spitting out breakfast.

The program group is really ruthless. They chose this kind of competition event that makes people make a fool of themselves on the first day.

The camera pointed at her——at this moment, Kyoko's face had been wiped clean by the assistants, and she couldn't help but rejoice that she didn't put on makeup in the morning, because the faces of all the girls who put on makeup in the morning were already close to gods and monsters, sweat and tears covered their faces. Their delicate makeup was all in one piece, and even after wiping it off with a towel, the cosmetics under the banner of "waterproof" still stuck to their faces and faded away unscrupulously.

So instead, she didn't apply makeup, and after wiping her face, she looked fair and pure.

She didn't rely on her appearance to grab people's attention, but there was a contrast in everything. Although her body was in a mess, her pretty and clean face was as beautiful as a fairy compared to the ghosts and gods behind her.

Especially those amber pupils that exuded radiance and vitality, embedded in her quiet face, although they could not be said to be breathtakingly gorgeous, they were radiant.

With short hair and slightly sweating, she stretched out her hand to lightly touch her, revealing her small earlobes, as graceful as a swan's neck.

Chi Jianlong also lost his mind for a moment.

"Huh?" Jingzi tilted her head: "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now." With a slightly apologetic expression, Jingzi put his hands together and apologized softly against his lips.

At this moment, it seemed as if a drumstick was really hitting my heart.

"It's, it's... the feeling of victory."

Makoto Jiangto couldn't help but want to knock Ryuya Ikema's head off with the list behind the camera.

Although, he was also attracted to this girl just now.

A very amazing girl, not to mention pretty, not to mention cute, and to say that her temperament is just the nature of the girl next door... If you really want to compare, a pure and natural beautiful girl like Hitomi Ozawa can beat her by a few blocks .

But there is something special about it, for no reason.

He finally knew that this girl was indeed qualified to be appointed by the LME.

"How do you feel..." Jingzi raised his head and thought about it, and then said seriously, "Okay..."

"--tired."

puff.

Almost everyone interviewed couldn't help but fell to the ground.

There are cameras interviewing you, sister, even if you pretend to be cute and say "I'm so happy", "It was a fierce competition, I did my best to get such a result", "Thank you to the people who supported me..." etc., etc. It is much more meaningful than the two words "so tired"!

"Hey, isn't it right? Is there a fixed answer?" Kyoko looked at their shocked expressions and asked again without knowing why.

They asked her feelings, and of course she answered her most realistic feelings, the only thing she felt now was tiredness.

Forget it, Chi Jianlong also found that the girl seemed not very clear about the routine of the interview, so he changed his way and asked: "It took so much hard work to win the marathon on the first day of today, is there anyone you want to thank?" ?”

Jingzi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "The person who wants to thank has never thought of it..." Obviously she got No.1 through her own efforts, should she thank herself?

"But..." Hearing that Jingzi seemed to have something to say, the crew listened attentively.

Her quiet and gentle face instantly turned into a cold demon: "If you ask me who I want to take revenge on, it will be much easier?"

……

……

"She played the cards too unreasonably, Wuwuwuwuwu—" This was Ito's immediate reaction after hearing this sentence that night.

☆☆☆

Public rest area.

After bathing and lunch, Jingzi leaned on the lazy chair. There was still an hour before the four o'clock match schedule. She didn't really want to go back to the Japanese room, because the fatigue of the marathon in the morning had exhausted her body to the extreme. She had a hunch that if she watched When you arrive at the tatami, you will fall asleep for the first time.

There are quite a few girls who think the same as her, so although the public rest area arranged by the show is not big, there are more or less a dozen of them at this moment.

Unlike her solitary family, the girls always seem to move in small groups.

The corners of her mouth curled up a little bit bitterly... This reminded her of the time when she was in Kyoto in the past.

"Hi, senior." An impressive voice sounded next to her ear, Kyoko turned her head when she heard the words... she was the first girl she met during the marathon!

"I didn't abstain." She smiled, "At first, I thought that I would at least have to run to the end to make myself willing, but I didn't expect that those who fainted, those who abstained, and those who couldn't run later, they all add up to make you happy. I got No.15."

Jingzi's eyes lit up, and she was sincerely happy for her: "That's great, then you won't be eliminated!"

"Not necessarily, the announcement of the candidates for elimination will be tomorrow morning, and it depends on the comprehensive score of tomorrow's approval rate and today's results..." The girl shook her head, but she didn't seem to care too much: "It doesn't matter, I have tried my best, so it is true I don't feel too bad about being eliminated. Oh, by the way, my name is Rena Higuchi."

"Please give me more advice. I am Mogami Kyoko." Kyoko nodded politely.

"upper most……?"

"Oh, yes, that's my surname, you can call me Jingzi."

"It's really wise to be ready to be eliminated at any time like you." A voice abruptly interrupted the conversation between the two.

Lily Rainy and several other girls passed by their seats, and the lukewarm comment just now seemed to come from Lily's mouth.

Lily has a good body and a good body, with a high ponytail paired with her suspenders and hot pants, she looks simple and capable.Her long and narrow phoenix eyes were raised slightly, and she squinted at Kyoko, who seemed to have no combat power at the moment, "It's not like some people who obviously have no chance with No. When attacking Jingzi, every word is insinuating.

Kyoko, who was being targeted, didn't say a word, which intensified the other party's interest in bullying.

"Those who know they are wrong should think about it and leave as soon as possible."

"Those who can't get No.1 can only rely on lip service." Another voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and after the crisp female voice, Hitomi Ozawa's figure came out.

In such a tense atmosphere, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at the two groups of people in unison.Unexpectedly, Hitomi Ozawa, who has always been docile and pleasant, would actually join the battle after his image was subverted this morning. Lily and the girls behind him changed their targets instead.

"Hitomi Ozawa, don't think that you are proud of taking the first place, you are a foul just like her—"

"The trail we took was 1.5 kilometers longer than the track, according to official data." Suddenly, Jingzi, who had been quiet beneath him, said coldly.

"More or less, who knows how you go? If you don't go on the track, you have violated the rules. Such a No.1, there is no rematch, it is not fair at all!"

"Oh?" Kyoko stood up slowly. Of course, the height of 1.62 meters was not as high as Lily's height of 1.7 meters, but the distance between the two made it unnecessary for her to look up at her. On the contrary, the moment Kyoko stood up, there were faintly dark ice crystals. Separating from her body, the cold icy eyes are like the locks of the underworld, tightly holding Lily's soul.

The dark vortex swirled behind her, and even time seemed to stand still.

"If you knew at the time that you could 'foul' take the trail, then you—would have chosen to take it?"

"Dang—" The word "ran" can't be said.

Yes, only a fool would knowingly commit a 1.5-kilometer trail, and it would be hypocritical to say "of course" in this case.

The dark atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and Jingzi smiled softly: "So before complaining, please be sure to think about your retreat."

"I can't see it, so you are not easy to bully." The farce paused, and the rest room returned to calm.Hitomi Ozawa joined Kyoko and Rena in their place.

"I'm just telling the truth." Jingzi sighed. She has seen too many girls like this. , the group of girls in the school who do everything they can is much better.

It's a pity that she was not who she is now.To this day, she really has to endure, those words are not scary to her at all—it's just that she doesn't need to bear it anymore.

The TV in the rest area began to broadcast entertainment news, and a name caused other girls in the venue to scream.

"Before Tsuruga Ren, who disappeared for a week, finally returned to the screen - this morning, at the Porsche new car conference, the appearance of Tsuruga Ren as the spokesperson caused a wave of enthusiasm, and the media completely threw the beauty of Xiangche On the one hand, all the topics revolve around the return of Tsuruga Ren. Although as a professional artist, Tsuruga Ren did her best to bring the topic back to the theme of the press conference, but it did not detract from the gossip enthusiasm of the media—”

Kyoko found that she couldn't suppress her gaze at all, just like everyone else in the lounge, all the focus was on the handsome man on the LCD screen.

"So Lian-kun's body has fully recovered?" A pile of microphones were placed in front of Tsuruga Lian. He was like the supreme moon among the stars, controlling everyone's every move.

He smiled lightly, his brows seemed to be embroidered with stars, making it impossible to take his eyes off——

"In order to make up for the work lost during the recuperation period, this time I returned to work after my body fully recovered. Thank you for your concern."

"Indeed, Mr. Lian looks healthier and energetic now than before the serious illness, it's really great——"

... Of course he has spirit.Jingzi slandered in his heart... To use his words last night - he was satisfied both physically and mentally, so?

Thinking of this, Kyoko rolled her eyes shyly and amusedly.

He was looking into Ozawa's thoughtful eyes.

"Senior Tsuruga is so handsome—it doesn't look like he's just recovering from a serious illness—"

Nonsense, he wasn't sick at all!Not daring to confront Ozawa's eyes, Kyoko quickly turned her head to draw her attention to other things, for example, the exclamation of the girls in the rest room.

"Where, didn't you see that there is a bit of sick beauty in his handsome face? Lian Jun, who has always looked so strong, also makes people have the urge to care for him..."

"Aren't you enough? Isn't it enough to participate in the selection of "Seven" to enter the entertainment industry? If you want to enter the entertainment industry, you must first know one of our iron rules—Senior Tsuruga does not allow anyone to get involved——" A certain girl who is one of the newcomers in the firm began to serve as a warning to the seniors for the newcomers who passed the audition.

Eh?Is there an iron rule? !Kyoko's eyes widened in surprise.

"—Last night..." Her widened eyes froze because of Ozawa's ear-piercing question——

"...Is it Tsuruga Ren?"

……

……

"Eh?Is there an iron rule? 』This was Tsuruga Lian's inexplicable reaction immediately after receiving a questioning call from Kyoko that night.

85☆ACT.78 Hitomi Ozawa

In this space where black forms the main theme, all the elements are embedded with sad notes.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge black and white portrait, with lotus lanterns, flowers and fruits on both sides.

The mage's monotonous chanting echoed in the main hall.

The long silver hair was tied in a neat knot at the back of the neck, and the tail of the hair swayed slightly as the man bowed.

After the man and the woman beside him bowed to the family members on both sides, they finally bowed solemnly to the portrait in the center, and then left quietly.

After the farewell ceremony, they left the mourning hall and walked to the crossroads in silence.

A white flag was planted on the side of the intersection, with the words "Asano Family Shiba" written on it.

The man stopped suddenly.

"... Sha Ye?"

"...No, it's okay." Sifengyuan Shaye held his forehead, seemed to be adjusting his emotions, and didn't speak again for a long time.

"...The deceased is gone, let's mourn." Seeing him who had been forbearing for so many days, it was the first time he couldn't restrain his emotions, the girl didn't know what to say. "Gui Yu doesn't want to see you guys sinking from here on...do you?"

"Zoujiang." Sha Ye of Sifengyuan bowed his head and dragged Qinnan Zuojiang slowly along the avenue: "When he was seriously ill, we were all ready...but no one thought... ... so fast, so suddenly ... human life ... is fragile."

Qin Nan Zuojiang sighed softly: "I'm sorry for Gui Yu. Under such a serious illness, he still insisted on working in the band for half a year...he is not fragile at all."

Hearing this, Sha Ye's originally sad eyes melted into a bitter smile: "...he is very strong, if it were me, I might not be able to do it..."

Seemingly disapproving of Sha Ye's self-deprecation, Zuo Jiang stood firm and looked at him seriously: "If you can't do it, after this injury, you will never be able to return to the band's stage." While speaking, She held Sifengyuan Shaye's hand in her arms. The usual hand was always wrapped with a black ribbon. The mysterious decoration that aroused the suspicion of countless music fans did not appear today.

Those were supposed to be a pair of slender and beautiful hands playing the piano, but now, they were covered with terrifying scars.

The tangled scars meandered all the way, penetrated into the cuffs, and concealed their traces.

"It's different...even though I can't play the piano anymore, I'm alive and well."

"Moreover, you have become the core of Azrael's soul." Zuo Jiang added, and then, as if trying to divert Sha Ye's attention, she asked pretendingly seeking knowledge: "I still want to know... where did this scar come from?" Come here." Although it was to divert attention, Qinnan Zuojiang had always cared about this scar in his heart, it was a turning point in Sha Ye's life, but he never mentioned it.

After a long pause, a trace of memory flashed across Si Feng Yuan Sha Ye's delicate face.

"... a fire in... New York."

"New York?"

"Well, at that time...a friend ignored my dissuasion and lit a big fire. In order to stop him, I was accidentally burned—the nerves in my hands were damaged, so I couldn't play the piano flexibly anymore." He quietly narrated He said, "If there is no injury, maybe the Sifengyuan Shaye you saw today is not in the Azrael band, but in the concert hall in Vienna."

"Do you hate him?"

"Hate?" Sha Ye raised his chin, looked at the sky covered by trees, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head negatively: "I don't feel that way."

"Why, didn't he destroy your ideal?" Qin Nan Zuojiang asked a little dissatisfied, feeling aggrieved for his sweetheart.

"At first, I was a little reconciled." He took her hand and walked forward again: "So we broke off communication. So many years have passed... Maybe it's because of the change of mood, maybe it's because I don't know who I am now. Don't fail - I really feel relieved when I think about it again. After all... he is also a... poor man."

Living in the abyss of true destiny... poor people.

Tsuruga Ren opened her eyes.

"If you can't stop it anyway, it's better not to stop it." His wide palms naturally drooped, opening and closing constantly, as if he wanted to grab something, but he had to let go, but he was walking towards the person in front of him step by step. Woman, that unstoppable pace, every step weighs a thousand catties.

"Please... let me go..." The woman in front of her shook her head weakly, and kept avoiding it, "Even if I can't stop it, I won't let it happen—"

He smiled, proud as a lotus, lonely as the wind.

Stretching out his hand towards the woman, that long and pale hand slowly spread out in the dry air.

The white skirt fluttered in the wind, and he stood there, as if standing at the intersection of fate and emptiness, alone, lonely for a lifetime.

The twilight dissolves, and occasionally a sigh slips away in time.

Like the softest whisper between lovers, softly, raised——

"This gamble, whether we win or lose, we can't go back."

"Because my only bargaining chip..."

"It's you."

The outstretched hand, like redemption, like longing, handed out an invitation that could not be declined.

As if her soul had been taken away, the woman walked towards him unconsciously——

"Crack-"

"Youxizi, what's the matter with you, how can you go up! You should run away from the role of Ji Chuan at this time, how could you be really bewitched—" the director was furious, and slammed down the notebook: "It's the second time Now, do you still have self-awareness!"

Although the show has been called off, the director found that, except for a few one or two people, most people in the venue still didn't seem to have come to their senses——

Especially women.

In the next second, as if the "play button" was pressed, everything around him began to move.

"I don't think you can blame Yukiko, if it were me, I would definitely be seduced by Tsuruga-kun—" Female A, a staff member on the sidelines, discussed excitedly.

"That's right, seeing such a charming Tsuruga-kun, how can any woman refuse, the feeling of being lonely because of love makes one can't help but think about it, it hurts in the hand—" The female staff member B nodded sharply upon hearing this .

The female C of the staff also commented: "I really can't stand it anymore. I want to scream once after watching it. The brilliance of Tsuruga-kun's recent love scenes is so hard to look at—"

Tsuruga Ren felt a headache.

As a professional actor, for the first time in his career, he was asked by the director to "act a little more fake".

Obviously, this is the solution summed up by the director, who is a man who doesn't know the truth, after silently absorbing the discussion results of women from all sides.

He didn't know whether he should be thankful that his performance hadn't reached the point where men and women could take it all.

Fortunately, the scene of Himekawa played by him has already been filmed, and he only needs to take it a little bit later, and let the actress in the opposite play finish her part of the performance, but as an actor, his professionalism has made him used to taking every shot seriously. causing this scene to happen again.

"Not bad, Kyoko's proficiency in love scenes has been perfected lately - Kyoko must have contributed a lot." She Xingyi, who was beside her, looked at the chattering women on the set and joked leisurely.

With his chin resting on his interlaced fingers, he quietly looked at the set without saying a word, the corners of his lips curled slightly.

"So what the hell happened!" To be teased by him and not to refute it, She Xingyi felt something was wrong the more she thought about it, and she must have missed some key part.

"I think..." Lian said leisurely after a long time.

You feel?She Xingyi seemed to have seen the dawn of the truth, and quickly raised his ears: "What do you think?"

"Is there less work you have accepted for me recently?"

"Uh?"

"I thought I had been missing for a week, and with the work schedule that was delayed before, I should be very busy when I come back this time." Lian glanced at him quietly: "But this workload makes me doubt your enthusiasm for work recently."

"No, it's not—" As a professional agent, how could She Xingyi allow someone to blaspheme his work attitude: "...Didn't I receive a notice to cancel your performance announcement on "Seven" the day you disappeared? , I thought it was because you couldn't bear the high pressure of work and decided to take a vacation for yourself, so I didn't dare to arrange too much work for you after you came back this time...

"I didn't cancel it."

"--what?"

"I didn't cancel the starring role of "Seven"."

"How, how is it possible..." They were the ones who came to find Lian on their own initiative, and given Chiba Guiya's obsession with Lian, how could they propose to cancel Lian's starring role?

"Originally, whether I play this role or not is not that important to me," he said in a very light tone, but said seriously: "But now, please be prepared, we... are bound to take it away." Come back." Out of the corner of the eye, he glanced at a hidden figure in the corner of the studio almost imperceptibly, and the displeasure of being watched made him frowned.

Er, just to let you know—

I will never sit still.

☆☆☆

In the Japanese room, two girls with different expressions sat facing each other.

The book in his hand was spread out for 5 minutes without moving a single page.

"I said... Should we settle the match first, and then talk about this matter?" Jingzi suggested in a low voice.

"No, if this matter is not clear, I can't rest assured to recite the lines." Hitomi Ozawa rejected her proposal very simply.

Perhaps it was due to the high-intensity marathon that was arranged in the morning, and the race that I thought would be exhausting in the afternoon turned out to be surprisingly simple, that is-recite the lines.

The so-called memorizing lines completely tests the actor's memory, which is also the basic skill that all actors should have. When Jingzi heard the competition items, almost immediately, she began to envy Zuo Jiang with tears in her eyes. The dynamic memory of the photographic memory, if you participate in this competition, it is like picking something out of a pocket.

The problem is, she is not Zuo Jiang.

Although she also has a good memory, she couldn't help being shocked when she saw the thick script book.

The organizer didn't give them any hints at all, just told them that the next round of competition was to memorize lines, and then gave everyone a copy of the same line book.

Even Kyoko, who has only one filming experience, knows that under normal circumstances, the lines received by actors are part of the current storyboard. How can anyone use the lines of the whole play as soon as they get it?

Where does this come from?

And what she needs to worry about is not just the competition...

And this new friend who is full of exploring spirit.

Although it is very exciting to have a new friend, this new friend's keen observation ability makes Kyoko feel ashamed. On the first day of getting along, she scared Kyoko into a cold sweat with the word "Tsuga lotus" , How can such a big secret be easily discovered by others, so Kyoko quickly laughed at her "naive" thinking with her excellent acting skills.

And yet—she didn't believe it.

Bastard, you don't believe my acting skills so hard!

"You can't fool me when it comes to men and women." Hitomi Ozawa simply threw the script aside: "When I was filming Helena that time, I was very surprised why Tsuruga Ren offered to be your partner... It turns out You are in this relationship."

"You think too much, Mr. Tsuruga and I are just a simple relationship between seniors and juniors."

"Hey, I didn't seem to say that your relationship is not innocent, obviously you thought of it first."

"...Ozawa..."

"Your appearance can't fool anyone, Kyoko." Hitomi Ozawa leaned back to make himself more comfortable sitting on the pillow: "Women in love will show the same stupid expression as you to the person they like .”

Stupid, stupid...? !What an adjective.

"Fortunately, I just noticed it. Speaking of which, you are really lucky. How could you have anything to do with someone like Dun Helian-he has never been rumored."

Jingzi was completely speechless. At this moment, she really didn't know whether she should confess or not.

"However, maybe the reason why there are no gossips is because they are all lying to innocent girls like you—"

"He didn't!" The blurted retort made Jingzi realize that it was over.

Hitomi Ozawa's pure and quiet eyes were smiling, and her cheeks that could be broken without makeup were all the more lovely because of this smile, but her smile made Kyoko catch some other meanings.

"Don't trust men too much," she said.

Finally, Kyoko couldn't hold back her inner doubts, "Why... are you so repulsive to men?" It was the same this morning, while loathing men, at the same time mentioning the qualifications of being a lover... It's not contradictory.

Is it because of unspoken rules, lost confidence in men?

They were in Ozawa's room, and the lighting was as good as she said - the afterglow of the setting sun in the evening poured into the room from the lattice room, and the golden light added a layer of beautiful color to Ozawa Hitomi's already outstanding appearance.

Hitomi Ozawa turned his head and looked at her for a long time.

When Kyoko was thinking about whether she should take the time to memorize her lines, Hitomi Ozawa finally spoke——

"It's strange, I was still an enemy this morning...but now I suddenly feel that it doesn't matter if I tell you the secret."

secret?

"Maybe, I think you have the same dark wavelength as me."

...Can this sentence be regarded as a compliment? Maria also said so.

"It's fair to exchange your secret for mine." Ozawa Hitomi stood up and walked slowly towards the window, leaving only a backlit back.

"My first time—by force."

The pupils in his eyes suddenly dilated, and the script book on Kyoko's lap fell to the ground following the secret.

Ozawa turned sideways, that bright face seemed so illusory for a moment.

"Using my wonderful fantasies about the entertainment world, I was taken into a suburban shooting location on the first day I came to Tokyo." She paused, as if she was entangled in her own memories: "At that time, I In this circle, I can't even get on the edge, someone is willing to support me and tell me that there is a good starring job, I take it for granted... Who knows, that job is just a trap."

"A man who claimed to be a director fell in love with me, and he asked me to exchange my body for a chance to become famous. I didn't agree..." Hitomi Ozawa sneered, "But in such a remote place, a man's desire cannot Contained, maybe my refusal was beyond their expectations, maybe my resistance aroused their interest... They stripped my clothes, took pictures of everything I was forced to, and then gave me There are two choices, endure all this to become famous, or report them... At the same time, my rape-rape process will be circulated as an underground AV."

Hearing her narrate the tragedies of the past in a flat tone, and imagining the terrible scene that Ozawa experienced back then, Kyoko's body trembled uncontrollably.

"What can I do..." Hitomi Ozawa shook her head. She shook her head slowly and quietly, as if breaking through a heavy barrier: "Tell me, what can I do?" She turned around completely , facing Kyoko.At this moment, she was completely standing in the shadows, but behind her was a bronzing light embedding a dazzling lace for her. The strong contrast highlighted her desolation even more.

Hitomi Ozawa is just a black shadow standing in a false halo.

"So I succumbed." The short number seemed to be the conclusion of her life, crisp and neat.

"Fortunately, that man didn't lie to me... I got the chance to be famous, and AUBE's advertisement made me a hit. Since then, I've been willing to degenerate. I know that if a woman wants to be famous, she only needs two things - her body... …and men.”

The body...and the man.

What a mocking word, like so many nightmares in the past, lingering in her mind and memory.

Maybe only by paralyzing myself willingly, can I let myself live as if nothing had happened.

In this world, live like a walking dead.

"But..." She laughed suddenly, and her self-deprecating laughter sounded extremely harsh: "There is still a price."

No longer knowing what to say, Kyoko wanted to get closer to her, but felt that she was too alienated at the moment, and she abandoned everyone's alienation.

"I have someone I like...but...in this life, I will no longer have the chance to have him—I'm too dirty, I don't deserve it."

A hand lifted her chin——Hitomi Ozawa looked at Kyoko who didn't know when she was standing in front of her in surprise.

I don't know when all the pity was put away, Jingzi's eyes were so cold, there was no sympathy, no sadness.

"You like this—you are never worthy."

There was the rustling sound of cherry blossom trees being brushed outside the window.

"You can choose what the real Hitomi Ozawa looks like."

Whatever the past is, the past is the past.

The self who knows nothing...

[Probably... for the manufacture of... "Mogami Kyoko"... maybe...]

The self who was deceived by stupidity...

[Learning to act, I feel that I can create and cultivate a brand new self by myself...]

— does not determine your future.

She didn't say anything more, just left this sentence, picked up the script book and left silently.

After closing the door, Kyoko closed her eyes, ignoring the sobs coming from behind the door.

It's too easy to say... Everything Ozawa encountered was a world she couldn't imagine.

But... what can she say?

Consolation, sympathy, righteous indignation...all in vain.

The truth she learned today has changed her perception of the entertainment industry.

Everything has its dark side.

The arts world, too.

The author has something to say: Please forgive the mediocrity of the 5000-odd words—there is nothing very exciting, it should be considered a basic transitional chapter, but the plot always has its ups and downs, which can be regarded as some buried for the past An explanation for the foreshadowing, such as Sha Ye's black ribbon (the illness of Asano Guiyu was mentioned before, and few people probably remember it, but this poor man has completely become a driving background for explaining the black ribbon), and Hitomi Ozawa past.
