Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

She has now grasped the most important treasure, and she cannot make another mistake or lose it again.

"...?" Tsugumi Yuzawa just clenched her delicate little fists, raised her brows, and was about to persuade this junior, but then she was dumbfounded.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong with Xiangzi's words, but she was not quite sure: Is the girl band such a heavy topic?

"Really? I understand. Then I'll wait for news from Xiangzi." Saki didn't force him to do anything. She understood that too much is as bad as too little, and she thought there was still a long way to go.

But what she was thinking was, "According to Kasumi, the lead singer is the star that guides everyone. Since my attempt here isn't working for now, let's try over there. Speaking of which, that kid's name is Takamatsu Touma."

Maybe it's because this world is so small? Saki just happened to know where to find the lead singer who loves gazing at the stars.

ps: Happy New Year to everyone

Chapter 14 14. Made her cry on the first meeting?!

Whether it was simply good luck or the simplicity of Takamatsu's movements, the search for Takamatsu was much smoother than Saki had imagined. She had only to go to the planetarium to meet the lead singer.

The two of them weren't old acquaintances; it was just that Saki was familiar with him. Stargazing was a niche hobby, after all, and she'd always seen the child at the planetarium, so naturally she'd noticed him and remembered him.

It is customary in Sakura society not to disturb others, and since the other party had never encountered any trouble in the planetarium, Saki naturally would not take the initiative to chat with him; and the two of them were used to sitting quite far apart, so it was normal for them to keep such a distance when they did not know each other.

In addition, Saki noticed another girl with short blond hair and a hat. It was a new face, at least to her.

After all, she only comes four to five times a month, which is neither too much nor too little, so it is possible that the two of them missed each other the whole time.

But if he had been coming to the planetarium so frequently for nearly two months, then he was undoubtedly a genuine newcomer. At least before the beginning of spring, Saki had never seen him at the planetarium.

However, Takamatsu Deng was the focus at the moment. Saki didn't take the blonde girl's affairs to heart. He just took the initiative to deviate from the original fixed trajectory and sat next to Takamatsu Deng.

Because it was a sudden "disturbance", Saki took the initiative to smile. Takamatsu Deng seemed to be out of the situation, giving Saki a dazed feeling.

What Saki didn't know was that the moment she saw her smile, Takamatsu Deng's reaction was not just dazed, the girl was really stunned, and then, her breathing suddenly became rapid, it was like she was taking off!

"Saki-chan!" Takamatsu Deng called out loudly, sitting up in shock and grabbing Saki's hand that was pressing on the armrest of the chair.

The girl's reaction was much faster than her brain's thinking speed. When she realized that Saki was not Xiangzi, she had already grabbed Saki's hand tightly and was almost in tears.

Because it was so loud, Saki noticed that the blonde girl sitting a little further away also looked over.

“...No, I..." Gao Songdeng reacted, but he couldn’t stop crying, and big drops of tears rolled down from his eyes.

Gao Songdeng tried to rub it with his palms, but with little effect.

She wanted to apologize to Xiaoxiang and ask for his forgiveness. She had so many things to say to Xiaoxiang.

But she woke up at the critical moment and found that the girl in front of her with the same smile as Xiaoxiang was not Xiaoxiang.

The huge sadness of losing what she had gained suddenly gripped her heart, causing the girl, who was already not very good at controlling her emotions, to completely lose control.

"Um..." Looking at Takamatsu Deng like this, Saki couldn't hold back and thought to herself: "Are the members of you crychic a little weird?"

First it was Toyokawa Shoko, then Takamatsu Tomo, both of whom loved to cry their hearts out. Is this the underlying logic of crychic? As expected of a band with the word "cry" in its name?

If she hadn't seen crychic's video, it would have been hard for Saki to imagine that this was actually the lead singer of a band.

If she hadn't heard Xiangzi praise Gao Songdeng's singing beforehand, she really wouldn't understand why Xiangzi chose him as the lead singer. It couldn't be...he was just trying to cultivate her, right?

Saki, while secretly criticizing the elegant taste of a certain Toyokawa lady, said to her consoling friend, "Hello, I'm Konoe Saki. It's definitely Saki, but should we be...?!"

Saki wanted to pretend to be a normal stargazing girl passing by so that Takamatsu wouldn't misunderstand her purpose. What if Takamatsu was still thinking about the criticism she gave Shoko when she left the group? Right?

But Saki never expected that Takamatsu Deng would run away before she could finish her words.

"Should I say that his mobility is unexpectedly strong?" Saki sighed softly, and ran out without caring whether his actions would attract the attention of others.

Regardless of whether or not she had made Gao Songdeng cry, just seeing him run out crying made her feel uneasy. There were stairs outside. What if he fell down the stairs because of blurred vision? That would be extremely dangerous!

Saki's worries were immediately realized. Takamatsu Deng had only run down a few steps when he stumbled and fell. The girl felt dizzy, and at that moment, there were only two thoughts in her mind:

First, she seemed to be making her parents worry again, and she felt very sorry.

Secondly, she hasn't apologized to Xiaoxiang yet, which is really a pity and she feels very sorry.

The girl closed her eyes tightly, quietly waiting for her ending.

But Gao Songdeng did not feel any pain, she only felt that her body seemed to become lighter. At the same time, she heard a serious voice.

"Even though I don't know what happened, you should always pay attention to your surroundings, especially where you step! Remember?" Saki warned seriously.

At this moment, she raised her eyebrows, her face looked serious, without a trace of smile.

If she hadn't run fast and been agile, and hadn't grabbed Takamatsu Deng's waist the moment she lost her balance and picked up the girl's legs, Takamatsu Deng would definitely have been injured!

Seeing this scene, Sanjiao Chuhua, who followed from a distance, gasped. She saw clearly that the girl with magenta hair hugged Gao Songdeng by leaning forward, and did a somersault in the air. She crossed more than ten steps in one breath and landed steadily on the next platform. She also adjusted Gao Songdeng's posture and gave him a princess hug.

Her body and brain were both amazed: What a great kung fu!

"Saki... No, not Sa... Saki?" Takamatsu Deng opened her eyes and looked at the serious Saki. Her mind was suddenly a little confused. She already knew it wasn't Xiaoxiang, because Xiaoxiang wouldn't... No, actually, he would, Xiaoxiang would have a serious expression. It was on that rainy night when she quit crychic.

But the two are indeed different.

[This Saki... even if her expression is serious, it's out of concern.] Takamatsu Deng's mouth opened slightly. He had figured it out in his head, but he still didn't know what to say.

Because Xiaoxiang is Saki, but Saki is not Xiaoxiang, which is very... right? It feels right, but also not quite right.

"It's Saki, yes, but it's probably not the Saki you're thinking of," Saki said, putting Takamatsu Deng down and grabbing the girl's hand, writing on her palm with her fingers. "This is how the Chinese characters are written. Although you're very concerned about Saki, this is definitely the first time we've met. The Saki you're thinking of is not my Saki."

"Do you understand now?" Saki felt that the child was a little dazed, and maybe she would need to say it again.

Although she was sometimes slow to react, Takamatsu Deng was no fool; she truly understood. Looking at the girl in magenta, she nodded gently, "I understand. Xiaosaki is not Xiaoxiang."

[But... for some reason, when I see you, I remember a lot of things...]

Takamatsu Deng murmured, "Sakichan."

She didn't know whether she was calling Xiaosaki or Xiaoxiang, because tears blurred her vision.

In a trance, there seemed to be a hint of blue in the magenta figure?

P.S.2: What a strange sensitive word, is this the real name of some big shot???

Chapter 15 15. When someone looks a bit like you, I panic

Maybe it was because they both pronounced it "sakichan," or maybe it was because the polite smiles of the older ladies were so similar? Or maybe it was because Saki had rushed over to protect her? Takamatsu Deng felt a little dazed.

I didn't think they looked alike at first, but now the more I look at them, the more they look alike.

Gao Songdeng stood there blankly, tears streaming down his face like a tide.

In her blurred vision, the girl saw the magenta figure approaching, gently wiping her tears with a handkerchief and comforting her.

They sat down beside the flower bed, looking up and just enough to see the stars in the sky. Even though Tokyo's light pollution is incredibly intense.

Noticing that Takamatsu Deng just lowered his head, Saki took the initiative to say, "Look, it's rare to see the stars. The planetarium was supposed to introduce the Summer Triangle today, right? Uh... little sister?"

Saki pretended to be silent. She wanted to use this method to tell Takamatsu Deng: I have introduced myself before, but you haven't said your name yet, little sister.

Crychic has only recorded one song, "Spring Shadow." She couldn't possibly claim to be a die-hard Crychic fan and then directly recognize a certain lead singer, right? That would be too strange. It's better to start with the stars.

What Saki didn't expect was that when talking about stars, Takamatsu Deng entered a very strange state, and she began to look for the Summer Triangle seriously.

"Haha, it's better to go to a high place and a place without interference from strong light to watch the stars." Seeing the girl start looking up at the starry sky without saying a word, Saki felt a little amused.

The Summer Triangle is an important symbol of the summer starry sky. It is composed of the Milky Way, a band of light extending from the northeast horizon to the southern horizon, and three bright stars [Vegna (Lyra, also called Vega) located on both sides of the Milky Way, Altair (Aquila, also called Altair) and Deneb (Cygnus) located in the Milky Way].

But seeing Takamatsu's seriousness, Sakiya took the initiative to introduce: "To the west of the triangle is the silvery-white star Vega, to the east is Deneb, and the bright star in the southeast is Altair. The magnificent Milky Way extends outward from the triangle, running north and south, and splitting into two forks."

"But then again, the Summer Triangle isn't only visible in summer; it can be seen almost all year round. Summer is just the best time to observe this astronomical phenomenon. June to September, which happens to be right now."

"How amazing!" This was the first time that Gao Songdeng met an astronomy enthusiast like himself in real life. He excitedly clenched his delicate little fists, and his eyes, which were a little red and swollen due to crying, also lit up with a bright light.

She immediately said, "In autumn, there's the Autumn Quadrilateral, also known as the Pegasus-Andromeda Square. It's a nearly square formation of stars that spans two constellations. It's made up of Alcyone in Andromeda and Alcyone, Alcyone, and Alcyone in Pegasus. It's the symbol of the autumn sky in the Northern Hemisphere!"

The girl spoke very quickly, but her pronunciation was quite clear, and there was no trace of her previous timidity and confusion.

"Uh..." But she got stuck. It wasn't because she forgot the words, nor was it because she didn't know what to say next. It was just that she saw that Saki didn't say anything, just smiled at her. She didn't know if Saki was interested in what she said, and she felt a little guilty for a moment.

Since she was a child, she has shared her interests and hobbies with her friends many times, but the response she got was...she was very worried.

"?" Saki didn't know why Takamatsu Touma paused, and the timid expression she had at the beginning slowly returned to her face. So she tentatively continued, "Pegasus soars in the sky, the Milky Way hangs diagonally across the sky – this is the symbol of the autumn sky. Every October, choose a clear, moonless night to look up at the stars. Find the Summer Triangle in the southwest sky, and slowly move your gaze eastward until you find the Autumn Quadrilateral."

As she listened, a flush of excitement appeared on Takamatsu Deng's fair face. The sparkling light in the girl's eyes spread and magnified further, almost turning into stars.

It was because of this that Saki shared with Takamatsu Deng a folk story from the neighboring country of China, which was related to the autumn quadrilateral, and the girl became more and more fascinated by it.

A little further away, I heard the two girls

In the absence of any human conversation, Sanjiao Chuhua also showed a look of surprise and exclaimed softly, "How amazing."

She then looked up at the starry sky, as if she could find the autumn quadrilateral that did not exist in Saki's description.

"To survey the autumn sky, you can start with the autumn quadrilateral. This quadrilateral is very similar to a square. When it is located directly overhead, each of its four sides represents a direction..."

The blonde girl murmured, "Saki-chan too. Xiaoxiang and Xiaosaki, is this fate?"

A huge smile appeared on the girl's face, as if all the fatigue brought by the heavy idol training had been dispelled.

Whenever she felt tired, she would come to the planetarium to look up at the "starry sky" and recall the brilliant galaxy she saw on her hometown island.

For Sanjiao Chuhua, life as an islander was dull and tedious because supplies were too scarce. In this situation, the galaxy stretching across the sky was the only free and beautiful gift she could enjoy, carefully prepared by the gods.

But the doll-like Xiaoxiang she'd met by chance was another matter entirely. Almost like Cinderella, but she was the real Cinderella. Every summer, she'd see Xiaoxiang on the island, a city dweller who seemed to know everything and was completely different from her country girl.

Sanjiao Chuhua longed for such a beautiful new world. To her, everything Xiaoxiang talked about was so novel and so attractive; and all she had was the starry sky that she could look up at.

So, when she heard Saki, who was similar to Xiaoxiang and seemed like a young lady, talking about the starry sky, she had a feeling of being recognized, as if she was back to the day when Xiaoxiang and she looked up at the starry sky together.

But after savoring it, I felt a little panic again.

After arriving in Tokyo, she had met Xiaoxiang, though she hadn't had the chance to invite him... No, she felt embarrassed. Tokyo was so big, with so many entertainment options, how could she invite Xiaoxiang to the planetarium to watch the stars? She thought it was very rude.

But now, she was looking at the starry sky with the current Xiaoxiang in front of a girl whose name she had just learned... Isn't this too weird?

Although they are both Saki, Shoko is Shoko and Saki is Saki, right?

[Besides, we didn't even know each other, what on earth was I thinking?] After coming to her senses, Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but hug her face. She felt that she needed to reflect on herself, otherwise she wouldn't be able to face anyone!

Saki didn't know about Mikado Hatsuka's affairs. Seeing Takamatsu Deng's infatuated expression, she breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "So this counts as our initial acquaintance, right?"

Then she felt her hands being grabbed.

It's Takamatsu Tomori.

The girl's eyes were as bright as stars as she said, "Saki-chan, Deng, my name is Takamatsu Deng, you can just call me Deng."

"Then, can you watch the stars with me forever?" The girl's words were full of expectations.

"?" Hearing this, Saki gave an awkward but polite smile, thinking, "First you cry, then this becomes a lifelong topic. You're all worthy of being bandmates, you're all so burdened..."

ps: Thanks to 2255667 for the two monthly tickets, and thanks to an ordinary Miss Yuegong for the two monthly tickets, thank you for your support

Chapter 16 16. Nagasaki Suyo discovered you

Saki neither agreed nor refused, but seriously discussed the topic of his life with Takamatsu Deng.

"Hey, Xiao Deng, lifetime is a very heavy topic. Besides, you have to think clearly about the definition of lifetime first." Speaking of this, Saki restrained her smile, lest Takamatsu Deng think that she was talking about lifetime in a joking tone.

"Heavy? Definition?" Takamatsu Deng didn't quite understand, but seeing Saki's serious expression, she also became serious.

"Yes, literally speaking, a lifetime is a lifetime. One day, one hour, one minute, or even one second less wouldn't be a lifetime. But if that's the case, what about the daytime when we can't see the stars with our naked eyes?"

If it were a certain Miss Xianjuanxin, she would probably say, "Then chase the stars and let this night never end", right?

Or maybe just build a space station so that we can observe the stars at all times, or something like that?

"Hmm..." Takamatsu Deng, unaware of the dangers of the world, was immediately misled. He pondered earnestly and painstakingly, then sighed rather dejectedly, "So... it's impossible to achieve this in this lifetime?"

"Now we are going to talk about Guangyi's life." Saki raised his right index finger and shook it gently, signaling Takamatsu Deng to listen carefully.

She is very busy, how can she have so much time to accompany the little girl to watch the stars? Even if Hinata hugged her thighs and asked for help, it would be impossible.

"Guangyi?" Gao Songdeng tilted his head, feeling confused.

"That's right. We don't spend every moment together, but rather use bits and pieces of time, and various experiences to build up the length of a lifetime. For example, drinking tea together, shopping together, collecting interesting trinkets together, traveling together... things like that," Saki invited Takamatsu Deng in the night. "Put all of these together and expand it into the length and depth of a lifetime. I'm sure you're not just looking for a friend to watch the stars with, right?"

"..." Takamatsu Deng opened her mouth slightly, but soon nodded vigorously and held Saki's hand tightly, "I want to be with Saki for the rest of my life!"

It sounded easy to be misunderstood, but Saki quickly understood what Takamatsu Deng meant. She smiled and said, "Okay, then it's a deal, Deng."

"We will move forward together along the way, never abandoning or giving up."

"Yeah!" Hearing that Saki was so serious about reaching a lifelong promise with her, Takamatsu Deng felt even more excited. She even wanted to take Saki home to see the "treasures" she had collected, because Saki had just said "Let's collect interesting little accessories together". She wanted to know what Saki liked, and then pick out the best from her collection to give to Saki!

Even if it happens to be something outside of the collection category, it doesn't matter, she will collect it, because this is a lifelong agreement between her and Saki! Since it's a lifetime agreement, she must abide by it!

Saki and Takamatsu left hand in hand, and Mikado Hatsuka remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she felt the urge to follow and observe closely, because that Saki was the one who could gaze up at the stars with her. But she hesitated, because she didn't know Saki. If she just followed... wouldn't it be really strange?
