The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Kana stepped forward without giving in to grab the spotlight.

The others were influenced by these two guys who were trying too hard, and could only force a smile and cheer for Mu.

"that,"

After the camera moved away, Kurokawa Akane asked curiously, "Are Arima-senpai and Miss Wakaba familiar with each other?"

"Haha, should it be cooked or not..."

Kana looked at the girl standing on the diving board, who still had no expression on her face, with a subtle expression.

"As for me, when I was little, I could cry in just three seconds, didn't I?"

"Yeah, it's super amazing, how did Arima-senpai do it?!"

The smile on Arima Kanai's face gradually turned into a hollow smile. "I participated in a program. The production team asked us to make faces. Whoever scares the other children first wins.

At that time, even boys were no match for me, until I met her..."

The red-haired girl's breathing became rapid, as if she had remembered something terrible.

"Eh? Miss Ruoye, are you good at making faces?"

It was a little hard for Chi Yin to imagine that Mu, with his expressionless face, had a distorted and funny look.

"No,"

Kana turned around and looked at Akane with an 'anthropomorphic' smile.

"She looked at me expressionlessly and made faces. At that moment, I suspected that there was a real ghost standing in front of me.

For a long time after that, I could burst into tears within three seconds just by thinking of her expressionless face."

Chapter 92: Please look at me carefully

"As we all know, MS is equipment developed to adapt to space warfare.

In the vastness of space, there is no gravity and no concept of up and down. It can be said that you are truly soaring outside the 'sky'."

The host with beautiful appearance and wine red hair,

He explained to the camera in a very spirited manner, "The first test that our "Who is the Next Gundam Pilot" program team has prepared for the young trainees is,

It is to overcome the fear of heights and the feeling of weightlessness when falling!

If you can't move because of fear, there is no point in fighting.

To simulate these feelings, there is nothing better than bungee jumping, apart from the professional and dangerous sport of skydiving.

So, our first challenger, student Ruoye Mu, do you have anything to say?"

On the preparation platform several dozen meters high, Mu put on his bungee jumping suit and other equipment, and looked up expressionlessly.

Not far from the host, in a corner that was out of reach of the camera, Mu's mother and the director were both watching her.

As if afraid that she would forget her lines due to nervousness, the director's assistant held up a sign that read: "Say I'm not afraid at all."

"I'm not afraid at all,"

Mu recited it emotionlessly, like a mechanical puppet, reciting the lines programmed in the play.

"From childhood to adulthood, whether it's insects or other things that everyone thinks are scary, I have never been afraid."

"Oh~~" the host stretched out his voice, "Is that really the case?"

One of the most unpleasant things about this program is that it makes the participants "make harsh remarks" in a semi-enclosed preparation room.

Let them see what the real height is. Most girls will definitely feel weak in the knees once they go up.

If you get scared and cry, it will be more delicious...Phew, it will be more interesting.

Mu wasn't a tsundere blonde with twintails, which disappointed the host somewhat. But if this "three-nothing" girl was even scared enough to bring tears to her eyes...

She wants to see...ah, this is what the audience wants to see!

"The surname Ruoye is very familiar to people in the industry. Student Mu, are you acquainted with the comedian Mr. Ruoye?"

"Hi, I'm my father's useless daughter," Mu read the words on the sign. "Because I have difficulty expressing my emotions, I have no chance of joining the industry."

The host asked and answered a lot of questions in a harmonious way.

When broadcasting on TV, the length of one person's segment is definitely not that long. The final decision on which scenes to broadcast is entirely made by the director.

In this kind of show, the words and actions of the "actors" are likely to be taken out of context and edited by the director to create drama and conflict.

The so-called stealing the spotlight does not mean that the photographer is shooting at himself.

Instead, he was supposed to "perform" something dramatic. According to the director and his mother's "script," after Mu finished his "harsh words," he should have felt terrified as he stepped onto the diving platform. It would have been best if he had been so frightened that his legs were shaking.

Let her, a "cold" girl, create a pitiful contrast.

On the contrary, there is the weak girl who is so scared that she wants to cry when facing the camera and expresses her fear of heights.

With everyone's encouragement, I overcame my inner fear and took a brave leap, which was a "highlight" moment.

"Then, the last question is a rather personal one. Student Mu does not need to answer it, and it will not be counted in the assessment."

The host lowered his voice slightly, as if whispering, and asked, "Student Mu, are you friends with the pilots from Organization Y?

I have seen photos of student Mu with them online, so I am a little curious. Can you tell me about them?

Or do you have anything you want to say to them?

Maybe they’ll see this show too.”

Mu subconsciously lowered his head, his thoughts returning to that rainy day.

"Xiao Mu... no, Ruo Ye Mu-san, could you please move away from me?"

Back to Xiangzi's 'funeral'——

The flaxen-haired girl was dressed in plain white and looked haggard. She approached Mu, as if to hug her, or as if to lean her weight on Mu.

"I'm going to kill you, I'm definitely going to kill you!"

The deep regret and sorrow condensed into a hatred that seemed to have substance, completely engulfing Mu.

“Wakaba Mu!

You traitor!!!"

At that moment, Xiao Mu, who felt that he was still dreaming, was suddenly brought back to reality by Su Shi's words.

She finally realized that she was not having a nightmare.

Su Shi will probably never forgive her in his lifetime.

and…

Her only best friend,

The half that would talk to the unwanted doll girl, play with her, dress her up, and be with her forever—

…………

'I'm happy to be your friend'

This is her last words to Mu.

Will you really be happy if you make friends with dolls?

Mu felt that this was the gentleness of the girl with aqua blue hair.

Maybe she only took care of herself because she was gentle, and she never felt happy at all.

"Why is my vision blurry?"

Mu raised his head in confusion. In his golden eyes, the belated sadness gradually evaporated and condensed into tiny droplets.

A moist, warm touch moistened the corners of her eyes. Mu reached out to touch it blankly. A drop of hot, transparent liquid lay on her fingertips, sparkling in the sunlight.

'Am I...crying?'

Mu felt a little unbelievable.

She is an 'incomplete' child.

When I came into this world, I didn't cry even when the nurse spanked me.

Is there any congenital disease?

Or is it that a part of the soul is missing?

The adults couldn't help but doubt this.

So it was inevitable that she was overprotected despite her imperfect condition.

When other adults were eager to let their children crawl on the ground and learn to walk, Mu was lying in the cradle.

When other children were running around, Mu lay by the window and watched them playing.

She never cries or makes a fuss, as if she were a doll from another world, and she only needs to eat on time to "exist".

Until one day, the blue-haired girl chasing butterflies broke into the world of dolls.

"Ah, it flew away."

The Blue-haired Prince's gaze, chasing the flying butterfly, overlapped with the gaze of the doll girl on the tower.

"Hello, I'm Toyokawa Shoko. I didn't mean to barge in. I'll be leaving right away."

The blue-haired prince did not wait for an answer. The doll girl turned and left the window of the tower. Just when she thought that the doll girl was frightened by her and was about to leave,

The towers have their hair down (the doors are opened),

No need for 'dolls, dolls,

Let your hair down,' or some such 'spell',

For the doll girl who has always been in front of the window, as long as someone talks to her, it is a magic spell.

After that, the blue-haired prince climbed up the 'tower' again and again,

then,

The spell that made the doll girl let down her hair turned her into a blue-haired prince.

She told the doll girl about the vastness of the world, the water of fire, the land of ice, the snowfield of sand, and the secret that every star in the sky is a 'world'.

And her grand adventure of escaping from the hands of the black Demon King's army cadres (bodyguards).

Finally, the blue-haired prince escaped from the tower with the doll girl and began a grand adventure.

'Kindergarten is an interesting country,

Elementary school was a little scary.

I really hate junior high school, piano, and dance classes, but I'm happy because of Xiangzi and everyone else...'

She clearly believed this, but on that day, she said, "I've never felt happy playing in a band..."

And then,

The half that would talk to the unwanted doll girl, play with her, dress her up, and be with her forever—

Is gone.

"Perhaps this is the punishment for traitors and liars."

Mu Ru was certain of this.

"There's a lot I want to say,"

On the preparation stage, Mu's voice echoed.

The 'doll girl's' tears seemed to be only one drop, and the host didn't even notice that she was sad. He just thought that Mu was feeling nostalgic when she mentioned her friends.

"Thank you Xiangzi...

And sorry, everyone,

Actually, I have always felt happy about forming a band, but...

But in the end, I became a 'doll' who only thought about myself."

There was nothing on the sign this time. Even if it was filled with "hints", the doll girl wouldn't read it.

"I only wanted to avoid being disliked by Xiangzi, so I lied and said that I had never felt happy about joining the band.
