(Because it was reviewed, it was revised and re-sent once)

"Yuyi, you have to perform well tonight, Shinsuke is going to come to see your performance tonight!"

[I] looked at the smiling beautiful woman in the mirror in front of me, and a sense of strangeness and familiarity hit me at the same time.

This beautiful woman must have been very good-looking when she was young/so annoying, why did my mother have to ask me to please that person?

Oh, by the way, [I] am Yuri Inoue now.

When he saw this, feelings of irritability and disgust suddenly rose from his heart:

"Mom, I don't want to see that adult..."

"Why? Does Shinsuke usually treat you badly? Every time he comes, he prepares a gift for you, and my mother is envious when I see it. ”

"But... But that man always looked at me weirdly, I—I didn't want to see him..."

The beautiful woman's smile faded away, and she said indifferently:

"No, you can't help your willfulness this time."

"Why!? I don't like him, I just don't like him! His eyes, his eyes make me sick! It's like looking at a beautiful gift! I hate him! ”

My accusation did not come to fruition, and my mother today is like a different person, and the indifference on her face makes me feel scared.

"Yuyi, your age is not too young, there are some things that you should know, the person you hate, the successor of the Mitsui Foundation, Shinsuke Mitsui, will be your future fiancé."

"W-What?! Mom, are you kidding me? ”

I covered my mouth in disbelief, anger exploding in my chest, and even my brain went blank for a moment.

"No, this is your original fate, how do you think that without the support of the Mitsui Foundation, how can I possibly train you to become the most prestigious singer in Edo? And it's not for nothing that they're willing to invest so many resources in you. ”

"So Mom, did you sell me to their Mitsui family like this?! Send your daughter into that ridiculous family with your own hands!? ”

The beautiful woman was silent for a moment, and couldn't bear to look away:

"I'm sorry, Yuyi, you know I can't help it, everything we have now, money, glory, status, is given by the Mitsui family, and we have no right to refuse them."

"Or are you willing to give up everything and go down to the city, or even outside the city, as a pariah who has nothing? We don't have a choice..."

I sat down in the dressing chair and looked at the dressing table in front of me, there were two beautiful women in the mirror, but no matter which one, it made me feel strange.

"Could it be... Is there no other way? ”

"Are you willing to give up everything you have now?"

“… No, the feeling of being on stage fascinates me, that's all I have. ”

"Yes, daughter, we are such people, we are born to be with the stage, we are excited by the fans of 10,000 people, and only the spotlight is the meaning of our existence."

"But marrying into the Mitsui family, isn't it also impossible for me to stand in front of the stage? It's like mom you..."

"Yes, so your mother and I, Inoue Keiko, have been forgotten by the world, and my mother and I used to fight, but ......"

Inoue's mother combed Inoue's hair, and the loneliness in her eyes added to the dullness of the room.

“…… Mom, I understand, I'll be obedient. ”

"Okay, okay, it's best if you can understand, after tonight's concert, you're going to accompany your Shinsuke brother out for dinner and shopping, you'll be obedient, right? You've been very obedient since you were a child~"

"Hmm."

The beautiful woman looked at her daughter's lonely expression, sighed, and asked:

"Yuyi, do you have any wishes that you haven't had time to fulfill? Maybe before you marry into the Mitsui family, your mother can find a way to help you. ”

"Then I don't want to marry into the Mitsui family, is it okay? You know their family..."

"Yuyi—"

"Well, let me think..."

I said to myself in the mirror:

"Mom, you know that I have been very envious of other people's children's life in school since I was a child, so can I experience campus life once?

I want to make some good friends who can talk to heaven, have a love under the cherry blossom tree, and go to and from school with the people I like...... I want to be an ordinary student..."

The beautiful woman frowned:

"It's hard for me to rely on your wishes, but it's not impossible... I can arrange for you to be a transfer student at the school in Heiankyo, you are not particularly famous there, but at most it is only a month or two, and you can't be away from the stage for too long, so can you accept it? ”

"Okay, thank you Mom, that's it."

"Uh-huh, okay, then you remember to perform well tonight, your Shinsuke-sama likes you to shine on the stage the most."

“…… Okay, I'll try. ”

"Well, that's it, you can get ready to go on stage again, and I'll help you arrange other things."

"Okay, thank you, Mom, goodbye, Mom."

I smiled sweetly as I watched my mother leave, and the moment the door was closed, the smile on my face disappeared in an instant, replaced by boredom and anger:

"Damn old witch!"

When the cold swear words came out, the pretty face in the mirror was a little more hideous:

"You like that old monster's bed so much, climb up on it yourself! What is it to use your own daughter! Mean Woman!! ”

I sat in my chair and went berserk in impotence, slumped in frustration, knowing that there was a bottomless abyss ahead of me, but I was powerless to change it.

At the end of the day, that woman was right, I couldn't give up everything I had now.

"But Mitsui's house is a nest of perverts who like to mess around, what is the difference between me going into that kind of place and killing myself?"

"Destroy, annoying."

I shook my head irritably, picked up the lipstick on the table and applied it, and I had to sing later, even if I was going to die, I had to find a place to die.

The old woman was right, I was the kind of person who had to live in the spotlight, both alive and dead.

Then let me give my dear fans my last performance – to this garbage world.

——————

"Uyi-chan! Uyi-chan! Uyi-chan! ""Love~Clothes~Death~Iron~Road~" "Star Dream! Star Dreams! Star Dreams! ”

On the stage of 10,000 people, I made my debut!

"Hello~uyi~wink~!!"

"Oh oh ——!"

"uyi~-chan! uyi~sauce! uyi~sauce! ”

I stood in the center of the whirlpool, and the feeling of being watched by thousands of people was so intoxicating no matter how many times I came.

"Love you guys~ Next is our first song "Vanishing Stars"! I hope you enjoy it! ”

"Oh oh! Ahh——!!!h ”

The atmosphere at the concert was very enthusiastic, and my performance was getting better, and I shuddered when I stood in the middle of the elevated stage, standing alone on top of thousands of people.

But at this time, I was on the VIP platform and saw the well-dressed guy, Shinsuke Mitsui.

Human-like dog-like stuff was still there smirking at me.

Disgusting!

When I thought that I might become a confinement for this kind of person in the future, and I would never be able to participate in the stage I loved again, endless grief and anger were about to overwhelm me.

Why? Why? Why?

I don't want that bleak future.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the countless figures below, I couldn't see their faces clearly, I didn't know any of them, I just enjoyed the pleasure of being supported by everyone.

Ha, looking at it this way, I'm not no different from the garbage that I spit on, my arranged life is really a joke.

If only I could suddenly disappear under the gaze of everyone, like a falling meteor, like a flash of fireworks, let everyone marvel at my beauty, and make everyone regret my passing.

"I want to disappear from everyone's eyes like this, goodbye, garbage world."

I stepped forward, my body falling off the platform.

There was an uproar.
