Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1501. Magic Appears

Ayako responded positively to all Matsuura Katsuto's invitations, even though she knew full well that Matsuura Katsuto's target was not Ayako but Hamasaki Ayumi.

However, without Ayako to go with him, Hamasaki would also lack the mobility to see Matsuura Katsuto.

The two delinquent girls have unknowingly become some kind of subtle, tacit partner.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina are both coming back tonight. If they go to the disco with Ayako, they may bump into each other when they come back. Thinking of this, Hamasaki frowned as if he was stung by something.

That night, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori witnessed from the stairway, making Hamasaki unable to face his own heart afterwards.

This summer, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori and his wife were not at home very much.

Ayumi Hamasaki felt relieved at the sudden arrival of a free life, but she couldn't tell whether the reason for her relief was that she had gained freedom or that she didn't have to face it.

After that night, when the girl went to the disco again, she gradually could no longer feel the joy of rebellion and temptation at the beginning.

Not only that, when her thoughts settled down, she looked at Matsuura Katsuto, and knew clearly that this man had such expectations for her to "become the singer he made", she began to feel that Matsuura Katsuto's posture was a bit dazzling.

In Fukuoka, when the president Sang first found her, he wanted her to become a singer. When Hamasaki began to look directly at Matsuura Katsuto's thoughts and desires, she realized that Iwahashi Shinichi's invitation had already taken root in her heart.

However, the president Sang never mentioned letting her sing again.

Was it the process of her focusing on her inner feelings and constantly provoking him that made Shinichi Iwahashi disappointed in her and gave up on that idea?

Hamasaki was unable to ask Shinichi Iwahashi what the answer was. However, in private, I remembered what he said to me when Iwahashi Shinichi broke into me the first time I came home late.

“Write it down and the words will work their magic.”

At that time, Shinichi Iwahashi was sure that this sentence was true. Not only that, but later, he met Maiko Haruyama, the girl who had sent a letter to the record company - the girl who made him realize that "words have magic power".

That night, Shinichi Iwahashi, who said these words to her, seemed to put something in her hands. However, Hamasaki Ayumi threw the thing he handed him back.

Later, Maiko Haruyama’s mother joined GENZO and became an employee of the record company. On Sundays, occasionally, the two children, Maiko Haruyama and Hikari Utada, would meet up to explore the company.

For Qingshan and her daughter, that was probably a magical letter. But, wasn't it Shinichi Iwahashi's response that gave that letter magic?

Could it be that when Shinichi Iwahashi said that words have magic power, was he talking about writing letters?

Do you want to write a letter to Shinichi Iwahashi and that president-san?

Such an idea came to Hamasaki's mind, but he immediately rejected it.

Instead of writing letters to Iwahashi Shinichi, when she sat in the classroom and listened to the lecture absentmindedly, she couldn't help but write and draw, piecing together short sentences one after another.

From when I was an ignorant toddler, I went to karaoke parties with my mother, and then when I grew up to be a young girl, I sang enthusiastically in karaoke with my friends. Using songs to express moods and enliven the atmosphere is so common that we don't pay special attention to the fact that music has brought so many effects to people.

Hamasaki hummed quietly in his heart, imitating the phrasing of his favorite singer, sorting out his troubled heart and writing his own lyrics.

"Hamasaki-san!"

The teacher's voice rang in her ears.

Ayumi Hamasaki was called unexpectedly. He opened his eyes wide and saw the displeased face of the math teacher.

Students in art classes have always been sloppy in their homework, and even their attendance rate is always worrying. The teachers who teach the classes often turn a blind eye and will not have any strict requirements for the students unless they go too far.

Even so—— "Hamasaki-kun, please don't sing in class."

Hamasaki's face suddenly became warm. There were bursts of laughter around her. When she raised her eyelids, she first saw Ayako with a smile. When she turned her eyes, she saw another overly bright smiling face.

It's the person who starred in "Twin Teachers" together, Nagase Tomoya. This person seemed to enjoy seeing her make a fool of herself and laughed harder than anyone else.

Hamasaki sighed quietly in his heart, stood up, apologized to the teacher, and straightened his sitting posture.

……

During lunch break, Ayako walked up to Hamasaki and said to her: "Ayu likes singing so much, so he should agree to Matsuura-san's proposal."

Hamasaki was noncommittal about Ayako's words.

The two girls were whispering, and suddenly a voice sounded in their ears: "Hamasaki-san, do you like singing?"

It's Tomoya Nagase.

The young man was holding his schoolbag on one shoulder and seemed to be preparing to leave. Unlike Ayako and Hamasaki, Tomoya Nagase is already a frequent guest on television, and fans often lurk near the school for him.

Hamasaki glanced at him, but before he spoke, Nagase Tomoya smiled and said, "I haven't heard Hamasaki-san sing before. How about we go to karaoke next time?"

Ayako stood aside and asked, "Will Nagase-kun bring Johnny's companions with him?"

Hamasaki Ayumi suddenly fell silent and only listened to Ayako and Nagase Tomoya talking.

Avoiding the question is not because of any dislike towards the person. Previously, Matsuura Katsuto asked her this question, and further back, at the beginning, it was Iwahashi Shinichi who asked her this question.

Avoiding Iwahashi Shinichi's question was out of rebellion, and avoiding Matsuura Katsuto's question was out of escape.

However, when faced with Nagase Tomoya's question at this time, Hamasaki Ayumi's reason for avoiding the answer was neither rebellion nor escape.

It was a sincere solemnity that I hope I won't speak easily until I think about the real answer to this question. It’s not directed at Nagase Tomoya, or maybe anyone else. Just for her own sake.

Nagase Tomoya looked at Hamasaki, but did not ask the previous question or invite her again. He said goodbye to the two girls in a brisk tone: "I'm leaving now. See you next time."

Even among idols, Tomoya Nagase's appearance is outstanding enough.

Ayako watched the promising Johnny go, and suddenly said meaningfully to Hamasaki Ayumi: "Ayu is really popular."

Hamasaki pretended not to hear the hidden meaning of Ayako's words. However, such calmness made Ayako feel slightly unhappy.

"How's it going?" Ayako asked her, "Matsuura-san's invitation tonight, does Ayu want to go? I've decided to go, right?"

In Ayako's tone, there was a determination that Hamasaki Ayumi could not refuse.

Matsuura Katsuto said that tonight, there are important people they want to meet who are going to the disco.
