Backstage dressing room at the concert venue――――

Chris Maya rubbed her eyebrows, she still couldn't wake up from the shock she had just received. Alien, brother, she has long doubted her background, but she didn't expect that the fantasy that has been haunting her mind since she was a child suddenly came true. The land beyond the stars is her true home.

"Maya, I'm here to pick you up. Leave Earth and join me to live on other planets! ”

The man who claimed to be his brother made a request to her. She can feel that behind this voice lies a long-term loneliness and a desire for family affection -- the other party is not lying.

However, she did not immediately agree.

"Please let me think about it first."

Leaving the earth is not as simple as going out for a trip, but giving up everything on the earth to meet an unpredictable future.

Wealth, she doesn't care, fame, she can look down, but what about those sweet, bitter, hard, unforgettable memories?

Can everything that has been the existence of Chris-Maya for 15 years really be easily discarded?

The brother from the alien is a relative, and the relatives on the earth who have raised him for decades are also relatives, which is more important than the other, and it is not something that can be simply measured by putting the scales.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Didn't I tell you that Miss Maya is resting right now and can't see guests?"

・・・・・・

Backstage at the venue, Minako is tiptoeing forward.

[Nobody, it's really Lucky!] 】

She clenched her fists and made a small celebratory gesture. In front of me is the lounge, and Chris Maya should be resting in it.

"Hey, who are you--"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.

[Oops! 】

She chuckled inwardly.

・・・・・・

There was a banging on the door of the lounge, sandwiched with the protest of the agent Nanami Aoki.

Anxiety added to her already irritable heart, and she simply opened the door and yelled loudly outside.

"Didn't I say, please let me be quiet for a while!!"

A man and a woman who were arguing outside the door stopped.

"Sorry, Maya, it's just a fan clamoring to meet you, you can go back and rest first! I had them kicked out right away. ”

[What did the security team do, I told them in the morning that non-staff were not allowed to enter, and they actually put such a big living person into the backyard? They will have to be paid later. 】

He wronged the security team, Minako just showed her press card, and deduced that she had an interview appointment with Chris Maya, and those peripheral staff who were paid by the hour had the heart to ask this and that.

While apologizing to Maya, Aoki issued an order to the black-clad guards who rushed over.

"Can't you hurry any longer?"

"Miss Maya, wait a minute, I'm--"

Minako was just about to say something, but something was gagged in her mouth while four men grabbed her limbs. Forcibly carried her out of the venue.

"You fans might as well think about Miss Maya."

Aoki reprimanded him that unruly fans were the biggest headache for him.

[Failed!] But in this way, Aki's side should succeed! 】

・・・・・・

Shortly after Minako was carried away, there was another knock on the door to the lounge.

"Who are you?"

Standing outside the door was a strange young girl.

"I'm a friend of Xincheng."

"New Town ???"

The door, which was about to close again, stopped. There was a slight change in the expression on Chris Maya's anxious face.

"Yes, I want to talk to you about him."

After a moment of silence, "Come in." ”

・・・・・・

Street Park, Open-air Cafe

"Let's have a cup of green tea."

"Oh, thank you!"

The man took the steaming teacup from Dagu's hand stiffly.

"As you can guess, I'm not Xincheng, I'm just temporarily borrowing his body to act."

"You killed him?"

Sensing the implied murderous intent in Mo Yu's voice, he hurriedly explained, for fear that Mo Yu would kill him in the next moment.

"How come, I'm just borrowing his body temporarily, and now the consciousness that belongs to Xincheng is in a deep sleep, and when he wakes up, he will only think that he has had a long, long dream."

Friends are fine, Mo Yu and Da Gu are relieved from the bottom of their hearts.

"What is the purpose of your coming to Earth?"

Judging from the information collected so far, "Xincheng" has a strong sense of purpose. It's hard to imagine such a person wandering around without a purpose.

"Actually, I'm here to pick up my sister Maya."

"Maya, you won't be talking about that?"

"That's right, it's that star, Chris Maya."

・・・・・・

"Fifteen years ago, an alien family was forced to land on Earth in an accident on their way to migration. Because of the failure of the life-support system, when the spacecraft starts again, it can only carry two people away. At that time, a car accident occurred on a nearby mountain road, and all three members of the family who were driving away died, so they decided to leave their youngest daughter on earth, borrowed the body of the 6-year-old girl who had died, and vowed to pick her up in the future. Many years later, that little girl became a famous singer, and that was me. ”

The story that she had heard from someone else dozens of minutes ago was now relayed from her mouth to a third person, and the audience behaved exactly the same -- dumbfounded.

"You may not believe it, the real Chrismaya died at a very young age, and now all you see is an alien from a distant planet."

She didn't expect her words to be believed, after all, it was too mysterious, and she wouldn't believe it if she hadn't experienced it herself, explaining it to others was just a way to vent her inner surging emotions. "I'm sorry that my soliloquy has bothered you. If you can't understand what you just said, please forget it. ”

Sure enough, no, how can ordinary people understand the entanglement in her heart.

"No, I do."

Kiki Akiyama's expression was not so much surprise as it was clear, "I have been thinking for a long time that Miss Maya's soul-stirring singing voice is not at all like what humans can make, in Ayu's words, it is 'the sound of heaven'"

"Oh, thank you."

It was so easy to believe it, Maya was taken aback, and most people should be resistant to this kind of thing.

"What are you going to do with your brother's invitation?"

[This girl, something is different. 】

It's obviously just something related to his future, but the girl named Kiki Akiyama in front of him cares more about the outcome than himself. From her, Chrismaya faintly sensed that something was attracting her. Plagued by similar pain, tormented by the same uneasiness, mixed with the tossing and struggling between two different lives.

-- It is a peculiar feeling between people who are sympathetic.
