The so-called principle of majority rule is a practice that stifles the minority.

At least... it shouldn't be like this in a star cluster.

But what should we do?

Shibuya Kanon sighed, her eyebrows drooping habitually.

"what?"

Her gaze paused for a moment, and Tang Keke walked past not far away, as if she had something on her mind.

Let's not bother her...

The moment this thought crossed my mind, another image simultaneously appeared.

"It sounds so good!"

"You sing so beautifully! It's simply heavenly!"

"I just heard you singing. Shall we sing together sometime?"

【"Let's sing together..."】

"Let's become school idols together!"

That was what Tang Keke said when they first met.

It is written in Chinese.

It wasn't until later, when Shibuya Kanon remembered, that she asked Tang Keke what she had said.

Looking back now, it's really not easy for Coco to take the initiative to talk to me when I came to a strange country.

Without Coco, there probably wouldn't be a star cluster today.

If only she had...

Shibuya Kanon's thoughts paused for a moment.

Too many thoughts flooded her mind, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Yes.

If... if Coco had hesitated even slightly, been even slightly shy, even slightly introverted, all of this would have vanished into thin air.

What brought the star cluster to life was Tang Keke's initial passion and courage.

That courage to move towards your dreams without giving up easily or being timid!

But just now...

Coco, however, made that expression and said those words.

Because of her own worries, and because of everything that hadn't happened yet, Tang Keke also lost her original courage.

That courage to approach her and talk to her, that courage to defy the school's opposition, that courage to stand on stage even when a companion couldn't sing...

That kind of courage that isn't afraid of failure.

What am I even doing...?

The connections between star clusters are not meant to hinder each other.

Shibuya Kanon ran towards Tang Keke, just like the first time she ran towards her.

I'm not reconciled... How could I possibly be reconciled!

After all that hard work, is one runner-up finish enough? Absolutely not!

Shibuya Kanon loves to sing and wants more people to hear her voice.

No... it's the Star Cluster's singing!

"cocoa!"

"Xiangyin?"

"Leave it to me."

"Give it to you?" Tang Keke was completely confused. "What?!"

"Your courage!" Shibuya Kanon looked intently at Tang Keke. "I want to participate in the project, I want to solve the problem, I want to guide the star cluster in a better direction, instead of letting it fall apart. But... I don't know if I can do it, so I need your courage!"

"But," Tang Keke was bewildered, "how do I pay it?"

"Do you... still believe me?"

Tang Keke was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Does that even need to be said? My trust in you has never changed."

“Me too, I believe in you, so I believe in the me you believe in!” Shibuya Kanon smiled. “I truly appreciate your courage!”

-

“Well then…” Kobayashi Sora put away the signed document, “I hereby declare the Superstar project officially launched!”

Splat splat splat splat!

Applause erupted in the coffee shop, startling the owl at Shibuya Kanon's house.

"So," Shibuya Kanon looked at Kobayashi Sora with some nervousness, "what should we do?"

Kobayashi Sora replied, "We'll follow the proposal and then make adjustments based on subsequent developments."

“For now,” Kato Megumi flipped through the plan, “you…don’t need to do anything.”

"Huh?" Ping An Ming Jin was taken aback. "No publicity or anything?"

“Not so fast yet,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “First, we’ll establish an official website, register accounts, publish project previews in relevant magazines, and then announce character designs and the official website in the magazines.”

"In other words, we're currently in the preparation stage, and you can continue with your previous activities," Kato Megumi added. "When we're working on the character designs later, we'll need to take your ideas into consideration."

Hazuki Ren blinked blankly, "Character design?"

"It's the character illustration of anime/manga characters."

"Anime/manga?" Hazuki Ren was still confused.

“This is a sheltered young lady, please understand,” Tang Keke sighed. “Don’t worry, I will explain this to her.”

Lan Qiansha understood. "So, you're the ones who are having a hard time right now. Is there anything we can do to help?"

"In that case..." Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, "If you have time, you can learn more about anime and manga."

"Leave this task to me!" Tang Keke patted her chest and guaranteed, "Absolutely no problem."

Hmm... Although it's a bit strange, Tang Keke is definitely the best choice.

With this in mind, SST can finally officially begin operations.

Hopefully, there won't be any major problems...

"This is a huge problem." In the office, Kobayashi Sora frowned deeply. "It's unacceptable."

"But......"

“No buts,” Kobayashi Sora said, looking at the artist. “I’ve given you all the information you wanted. You even came with me to Kiyokaki Girls’ High School and saw how they train and attend classes. Why is the character illustration still like this? I need a silhouette to show something different, but you gave me a Yu-Gi-Oh! hairstyle. School idols aren’t visual kei. I can’t even show this illustration to them and ask for their opinion.”

Chapter 330 New Goals

After telling the artist to leave, Kobayashi Sora reached out to tap her forehead, but her fingers were caught by a soft hand.

Kato Megumi brushed Kobayashi Sora's hand away and gently pressed his head with her soft fingertips. "I didn't feel it before, but after seeing other people's creative process, I realized that Eriri is really amazing."

“The difference between people…” Kobayashi Sora sighed. “Eri draws quickly and well. She can draw Junri and Ruri in their past and present lives with similar appearances but completely different temperaments.”

Compared to Eriri, a high school student, this artist is really...tsk.

Think about it.

If this artist were truly talented, she would have been taken away and exploited by Akane Kousaka long ago.

"If the character designs can't be finalized, a lot of subsequent content can't be developed." Kato Megumi adjusted her tone. "Eri is at a very busy time... Should we find a new artist?"

"This is the only way. Let the previous artist draw the background." Kobayashi Sora took Kato Megumi's hand and pulled the OL-dressed Kato Megumi into her arms. "Everything is difficult at the beginning."

"President..." Kato Megumi shifted, sitting up a little more steadily, "You can't do this."

"What can't be done?"

"Like this." Kato Megumi lowered her head and kissed Kobayashi Sora's lips.

To prevent Kobayashi Sora from making a mistake, Kato Megumi set a bad example.

-

"President, what brings you to call me?" Iori Hashima answered the phone with a frivolous smile on his face. "Because of your previous actions, I've been blamed by many people and have had to resign and leave RER."

"These were all part of the plan, as you know," Kobayashi Sora said calmly. "But why were we withdrawn from the sea voyage as well?"

"Knowing that you almost beat up Tomoya, she probably won't stay at RER, even though she would have a better future there."

"I got accepted to Toyonosaki after leaving port, so I can work with them," Kobayashi Sora pointed out. "I currently have a project in hand..."

"Kuyou, guess... why do you need to take the Toyonosaki exam to go to sea?"

"..."

"You really didn't know... Let me think. Because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to resist doing something underhanded, I deliberately ignored any news about Tomoya." Iori Hashima chuckled twice. "So you still don't know, do you? Tomoya has reorganized a club, aiming for Winter COMI, and is currently making a game. One of the members is Izumi."

"This is a waste of talent for going to sea."

“I don’t want to be criticized like this by Eri Kasumi’s organizers.”

"..." Kobayashi Sora realized, "You joined too?"

“The producer and director, huh?” Iori Hashima confessed. “Well… because your father always reminds me of you, I’m sorry, I can’t work for him.”

"Want to prove your skills with this game?"

"I really want to see those guys regret it."

"I'm looking forward to it too." After ending the call, Kobayashi Sora let out a long sigh of relief.

It's clear that sailing out to sea from Po Island is no longer an option.

We can only look for other targets.
