Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 83 A Tale of a Girl Idol Shaking the Darkness

The dark space became colorful.

After being stunned by the dazzling first sight, the crowd's enthusiasm shot up like a deflated spring, reaching the ceiling of the underground space. The crowd's cheers and the loud speakers collided with each other.

Jun Matsueda looked at the girl standing in the center of the stage. Idol groups take turns singing lyrics and standing in turns during their performances, but he knew that Lai Qi Yang Shi was the undisputed focus tonight.

"An unexpected encounter~"

"When I noticed it, I had already fallen~"

After singing these two lines, the pink-haired girl stepped aside, letting others stand in the C position, but the audience's eyes could only follow her.

Compared to the other girls on stage, Kurusu Yoshi was a truly unique presence. Her radiance was dazzling, like a burst of compressed, long, boring life. It wasn't so much an infectious force as a primal release of energy, even causing Jun Matsueda to harbor a sense of unease about her, like a summer cicada missing the winter sun.

"[Seeing you] is the highest priority~"

"It feels like something is falling~"

"I only see the accumulated longing day after day~"

The girls waved their arms in unison, and the glow sticks in the audience also waved.

Lai Qi Yang Shi returned to the center, and the others squatted beside her like stars surrounding the moon. The girl covered her face with one hand and whispered into the microphone.

"Guilt mixed with other feelings~"

"Why can't I leave you?"

The music changed, the tune becoming more passionate, and the girls stood up, like buds blooming, and sang in unison.

“No matter how many times we meet, no matter how much I miss you, this feeling will never change.”

"The words I want to say to you pile up day and night"

“A buffer period in pursuit of the meaning of existence”

"Everything is covered up with shouting!!"

The girls gathered around the center position again, stretched out their hands and danced towards the devilish girl, "Haruyo!"

During the interlude of the music, Kurusu Yoshi, who was standing in the center, raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and slowly lowered his arm, pointing to the audience seats in front.

Haruyo is the romanization of "Yoshi", and it was not until now that Kurusu Yoshi officially appeared.

"Haruyo!!!" The cheers from the audience were about to break through the roof. Jun Matsueda could hear that the man sitting behind him, who originally supported Meijiang, was shouting the loudest.

Jun Matsueda looked at the glittering stage. The girl's magic was almost visible to the naked eye, floating down from the stage and surrounding his seat.

From his angle, he could clearly see that the pink-haired girl's wink and index finger were both directed towards Matsueda Jun.

The girl named Kurusu Yoyo dominated the stage for half an hour until the end of the performance.

"How about it? All my poses are for you? You're my exclusive idol! Pretty awesome, right?" In the performance corridor, the girl patted Matsueda Jun's shoulder proudly.

It was past nine o'clock and they stood at the back door of the venue, waiting for the enthusiastic crowd outside to disperse.

Matsueda Jun leaned against the iron gate. "Your performance is truly impressive. I mean. Your mother might have been right to let you become an idol."

"You were born to be on stage."

"Matsueda thinks so highly of me? I'm a little happy~" the girl giggled.

"Tonight is your debut performance as a new member. Won't the girls in the group have a welcome party or something?" Jun Matsueda was a little curious. Whenever he found a part-time job in a supermarket, everyone in the department would hold a welcome party.

"They were going to hold it, but I said I had a night shift job, so I canceled it." "Is that an excuse?" Jun Matsue looked at the glass window of the back door, where many fans who had been captivated by the girl were still there.

"Do you think being a young idol has it easy? Many of them have part-time jobs while also running their business."

Lai Qi Yang Shi let her hair down and put on a baseball cap. Her body after exercise exuded a faint fragrance in the closed and narrow space. Her face was flushed and she was breathing slightly.

"Follow me to the employee passage on the other side." The girl pushed open another door and waved to him.

The two walked down another corridor. The girl who had been enjoying the cheers on the stage just a dozen minutes earlier was standing in front of Jun Matsueda. Her long pink hair swayed, as if waiting to be grasped by a large hand. Then, in this underground space, shielded from the desires and gazes of many, she would become his exclusive idol.

After opening the door, there was an underground passage in Shibuya, and the two people who were trapped in the venue by fans finally escaped.

Kurusu Yoshi held the baseball cap with his left hand and turned the brim to the back of his head with his right hand. His long hair fluttered and his posture was handsome.

"Let's go get a midnight snack! A midnight snack! I didn't eat much before the show, and I have to sing and dance all the time. I'm starving!"

The two walked into a shop called "Gokumi Teppanyaki" and sat down at the bar-style seats surrounding the central kitchen.

"This restaurant was recommended by my new teammate! He said the hamburger patties are delicious." Kurusu Yoshi picked up the menu and ordered the L-sized hamburger patty set meal.

The barbecue guy put the big piece of meat patties on the iron plate and grilled it to bring out the aroma of raw meat. Jun Matsueda didn't place any order because he was not hungry.

"Are you satisfied with your performance tonight?" He felt that he had been trained by Tsushima Kou to become a qualified member of the news department.

"I think it's great!" The girl stared at the hamburger meat, which gradually turned from red to brown. "It's just that the song selection doesn't seem to suit me, but it's work after all."

"Some people are more suited to singing these sad, unrequited love lyrics. I'm the energetic type on stage, so the compatibility is average."

Matsueda Jun thought of a certain girl again and decided to change the subject. "So this is on the right track? Can things continue well?"

The barbecue boy picked up the half-cooked meat, sprinkled it with chopped onions, and handed it to him on a tray. Kurusu Yangshi took it eagerly, used silver chopsticks to tear the large piece of meat into small pieces, and placed it on the iron plate for further processing.

"It's hard to say. The underground idol scene nowadays isn't as simple as it was back in my mom's time. The competition is fierce, and there are a lot of dark sides."

"The kid who's been so popular at the Tokyo Idol Theater recently debuted as a local idol when he was only eight or nine years old. Can you believe it?"

The girl took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks and put the roasted meat ball into her mouth, chewing it with great enthusiasm, looking like she was about to fly.

Nine-year-old underground idol Jun Matsueda can only lament that the Japanese are becoming increasingly perverted.

Kurusu Yoshi swallowed his hamburger meat, picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and continued, "And even if this company's operating model is relatively healthy, it still depends on the atmosphere within the department and the group."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that we were holding hands on stage at the end of the performance just now, and we looked very friendly. Someone might already be plotting how to suppress me."

"Even if you have the talent, connections, opportunities, and background, you still can't necessarily make it in Tokyo's entertainment industry. Not to mention all the random people who sneak in and use their status as underground idols to boost their status."

"The place where I fought was much more terrifying than you think!"

Kurusu Yoshi placed the last bite of meat in front of Matsueda Jun, "But none of this matters. Come and share the joy of my debut!"

The steaming hamburger meat moved closer and closer, almost touching the tip of Jun Matsueda's nose. He opened his mouth and swallowed it.

"good to eat."

Juice from the grilled meat oozed out of his mouth, and Jun Matsueda looked at the girl in front of him who was licking her chopsticks.

Clearly, what she was talking about was darkness, competition, and chaos, but the girl's tone seemed to be saying.

She came here just to release the light.
