October 26, 8:10 p.m

"Come on~"

"Just believe in yourself!"

"Up~~~!!" The moment they stepped on the stage, there were already audience members waving glow sticks waiting, and even Takasaka Honoka, who had already had experience, couldn't help but be a little nervous, not to mention Koizumi Hanayo, who was on stage for the first time

"What to do... Huayang pro... Rin is shaking......"

"I, so am I... Woo...... It feels so bad."

"Mahime-chan... Remember to hold my hand later? ”

"No kidding...... How can you dance in that case..."

"Is Eri scared?" asked in her ear, and when Eri looked away, she saw her friend with a smile but sweat on his forehead

“… No, not at all, after all, I chose to come by myself," Eri Ayase replied with a smile, and this smile quickly infected the others, and the originally somewhat messy team also stood up straight as scheduled after a moment of rectification

"Eri is really good."

"No, it's everyone" Let's start dancing!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――-――――――

"I'm the one who lives in anticipation," Yuyun Chong had told himself a long time ago, at first he wanted to respond to that expectation, and then he had to become the person who was expecting it

"I don't have talent, I'm just an ordinary person" is a point that Yuyun Chong has to admit, compared to the other "protagonists", he is unremarkable, even if he has no ability, he can rely on hard work to gradually climb the ladder at the top, but what?

-- From the very beginning, when he had no talent, he was already doomed

"Talents without talent deserve more attention--" Am I wrong when I say this? Since I was a child, I have lost the attention of my elders because of my lack of talent, and even if they were willing to give me a little bit of the resources allocated to others, I would not be where I am today

"Who doesn't like to be strong, who doesn't want to be strong" This is self-deprecation and expectation, and he also hoped that the fate of that day was just a joke, but it turned out that until now he is just a fool who has been ridiculed as a "thief", "despicable", and "wild dog", and ambition can sometimes only indulge in the mire and become a ridiculous lie that cannot even be ridiculed

"I have not been envied by others, and I don't need people to look up to me" That envy can't be my fangs, that longing can't sail for me, and it shouldn't change and gradually pass away with me, but what should change is like me standing in place and looking around, the world can't do what you want

"Then why don't I stop" Looking at the layers of tall buildings falling from his side to his back, watching the little starlight flicker and dim in mid-air, there are some things that he can't hope for in a lifetime, but there are also some things that he can get even if he doesn't have extravagant expectations, and that's why he keeps moving forward

"I can learn magic, I can spawn and convert guns, I have amnesia, I can transform myself...... Isn't that enough?" even though he had to lose more, he still managed to get closer to the apex than most people, so what more could he ask for?

“…… I see" I don't know what I understood, Chong made it easier for his body to adapt to the direction of the wind, so he blew him to the other side of his dream

-- But no matter what...... I still hope to be the kind of person I imagined

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Eri is very powerful" is a phrase that Eri Ayase often hears, she has inherited both Japanese intelligence and Russian developed nerves since she was a child, and many things can be done faster than ordinary people, so she has enjoyed what it is like to be longed for from an early age

"Eri is an ordinary child, so she doesn't need to think too much," her parents often said to her with a smile, because at some point the world has become unusual, and what she can do is no different from a child's house in the eyes of some people, and that's why her parents tell her not to care too much

"So who's the genius... Who is the unusual person? "Eri has been entangled in this question for a long time, because until now there has been no specific technology that can distinguish that group of people, and they are no different from ordinary people in their daily lives, but rather that they are human beings

"Genius is made by effort, and unusual people are raised by talent," she asked on October 18 to a person who possesses both qualities, and the latter replied to her

"I still don't understand it," Eri Ayase said with a wry smile at the time, "I'm sorry, it's rare that you explained it to me."

“…… Have you ever played a game, it's the kind of game that has a data sheet?"

"Ah, if it's an RPG, I've played with Arisha."

"Genius is a person who grows tall, and unusual people come out with high stats and equipment, that's it, by the way, I haven't played a game, but this explanation is what someone else told me" He said very bluntly, "Do you care about this?"

"It's just because of your words in the afternoon," by the way, the patient lying on the hospital bed still peeled two apples while she spoke, not knowing who was taking care of whom

"That's not what I can say because I'm Yukumo Chong, but what I'm able to say as Yukumo Chong" This soft murmur made Ayase Eri very puzzled, but it was rather strange why such a vague sentence was used to play with words

"Do you want to worry about this kind of thing?" asked the young man named Yuyun Chong as he looked at the blood vessels

"Usually people think like that, like being better than other people's kids," she laughed and joked

"So are you longing for someone else's child?"

"Hmm... Not really," she replied after a moment's thought, "because I don't particularly care about this kind of thing."

......Because after saying this, Yuyun Chong got up and went for a walk in the backyard, and she went to bed early because of fatigue not long after saying this, so she had no impression of the last sentence

-- Are you ......? Sigh for me?

"Ha ......" let out a tired and joyful sigh from the depths of his heart, and the girls on the stage proudly showed their most beautiful postures to those who walked in front of them, this was an impeccable performance, which was already impeccable for their group of laymen

"Sister Patrol~" Hatsune, who was in charge of being a judge, looked at her sister with a smile on her face, "It's amazing!" They're really good! ”

"Hmm" the Inspector nodded in acknowledgment, it was already a perfect show for a beginner, and she didn't think she had done as well as the kids at first

"You-"

"......" stayed in the cloudless sky and looked down at the place where the lights had stopped dancing, Chong had already rushed here with all his might, but it seemed that he was still a step too late

“…… "After removing the armor in his left hand, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket "Yes, I'm Yuyun Chong, although it's in a hurry, but I ask for martial law once, that's right, I want it now, the range is a whole piece of Nakano District"

"Just let me be amorous......" Switching the mode to sniper mode, the long-range rifle in his hand gradually began to be aimed at the target, no one knew what would happen next, but he only knew that their performance was as he wished

"So I hate blessings," he said self-deprecatingly, and then waited for the moment when he pulled the trigger

This is the conclusion of the "--unqualified" inspector

“…… Ay?!! "This exclamation did not come from the people on the stage, but from the people off the stage

"Why, Sister Patrol! That's perfect, right? Hatsune shook her green ponytail in confusion, "Why do you want to reject them!" I don't care! ”

"It's just a show for us," said the Patrol after glancing at his sister, "not for everyone."

"They're not spectators, they're idols," said Hono Takasaka and others, pointing to the members next to him, "So your performance can't meet the needs of most people, as I said, it's not a joke."

"Unqualified, I reject your application for admission, everyone's is the same" coldly issued the final result

(Yike...... Unlike the others, Eri Ayase felt that she was unexpectedly relaxed the moment she learned of her failure, as if a foreign object had fallen from her heart in one go, and she was glad that it was?

"It's so dangerous~ It seems that it still failed~" Cast couldn't help but laugh after looking at the crying expressions of the girls on the stage

"Thanks......" The sound that came out of her throat as she recited it sounded hoarse, was it because of tiredness or something?

"That's why I said you don't understand anything, is there really no problem with this way of realizing your dreams" Zhu glanced at the person behind him, "Your wish is too arbitrary"

"Then let me tell you a word, and you must remember it in the future" When I glanced up, I could see the starlight flying in the distance, how beautiful, like a meteor about to fall to the ground

"What you want, what I want to destroy~"

postscript

"Are you still lying here" Cecilia, who had been lying for a long time, opened her eyes in confusion and pulled her up with both hands

(Are there only kind passers-by now...... It's been almost an hour since my house was demolished, and it's too late to come to the rescue

"I apologize first for your business" ...... apologies? Why apologize?

“… My desire is too arbitrary, and I inflict it on others" The voice sounded a little bleak, as if I was faced with the truth that I didn't want to accept but had to accept "I didn't pay attention to what they were thinking, I just used my thoughts to influence others, both in the past and now"

And when he fails, he wants to cover up his mistakes and destroy them...... "He really wanted to pull the trigger just now, if it wasn't for the failure of the so-called "blessing", he was afraid that he would have to carry deeper sins to hell" Every time it's like this, every time the choice is wrong from the beginning, if it weren't for this time there was a chance to correct it......! ”

"Don't let me comfort you......" Cecilia gently wrapped her arms around the neck of the passer, "Na... Since you're complaining to me, can I say a few words......"

"Forget it... I'm a little tired......" Cecilia smiled weakly, why bother him to blame himself even more, "I'll just say a little bit..."

"Chongjun...... I like you... Loved ...... very much"

“…… On the night of October 18th, I asked someone a question, "Chong walked forward step by step, and the weight on his body made him bend down unconsciously" I asked her if she had any dreams of other people's children, and she said no, because she didn't particularly care about this kind of thing, I gave her the answer, but she probably didn't write it down, and now I will tell you the answer too."

"I envy you......" It was a heartfelt, a soft sigh from Chong's face to the future that should have been headed but ended up missing him

-- What I wish for is what others want to destroy
