The strategy of the other world of the love game

After that, she lost contact with Ruby Hoshino and Kana Arima, and even had little contact with MEM-chu, and she fell into a state of autism.

In the past few months, she has devoted almost everything to acting and devoted herself to studying acting skills.

It was because of this fanatical concentration that she was able to almost single-handedly support the LALALAI troupe after the loss of Ryoma Esaki.

However, no matter how focused and dedicated she is.

The figure of Ryoma Esaki always lingered in her mind.

During the period when Ryoma Esaki first disappeared, Akane Kurokawa had been frantically searching for him.

The first person she looked for was Ruby Hoshino. After all, Ryoma Esaki disappeared after he went to look for Ruby Hoshino that night.

Also missing was Himekawa Daiki.

In other words, it was Ruby Hoshino's biological father, Kamiki Hikaru.

Although Ruby Hoshino admitted that Ryoshin Ezaki's disappearance was related to what happened that night, she said that she didn't know where Ryoshin Ezaki had gone and had been looking for him.

If even Ruby Hoshino doesn't know the whereabouts of Ryo Esaki, then Akane Kurokawa has completely lost all clues and doesn't know where to start looking.

After spending a while in a daze, Kurokawa Akane slowly cheered up with the help of the theater troupe and decided to devote himself to work in order to forget about Ryoma Esaki.

But if it were so easy to forget someone, most of the misfortunes in this world would probably be reduced.

Especially since Ryoma Esaki had just confirmed their on-screen relationship and their feelings were heating up, yet he disappeared from her world in such a dramatic way.

Even though Kurokawa Akane had no special feelings for Ryoma Esaki, the many mysteries behind Ryoma Esaki's disappearance were enough to occupy her mind for a long time.

What's more, she has an inseparable attachment to Ryoma Esaki.

Finally, after working for five months in torment of missing his mother, Kurokawa Akane felt that he had reached his limit.

She wanted to give herself a break, even just for one night.

She needed to empty herself and stop suffering from the double torture of work and missing Ryoma Esaki at the same time.

Although she couldn't stop herself from missing Ryoma Esaki, she could at least put her work aside for a while.

So, after unilaterally standing up the theater troupe, Kurokawa Akane boarded a train heading in an unknown direction.

Then, randomly choose a stop to get off.

I don’t know if it was fate or a miracle of probability, but Kurokawa Akane chose to get off at Shimokitazawa as if possessed by a magic spell.

Although she has lived in Tokyo for more than ten years, this is the first time that Akane Kurokawa has come to Shimokitazawa. The freshness brought by the unfamiliar environment slightly washed away her accumulated pressure.

Kurokawa Akane took a deep breath and strolled along the unfamiliar streets. Everything around her made her feel extremely new.

The style of Shimokitazawa is very different from the area where she lives. The pace of life here is not so fast and depressing, and people are more energetic.

Although the area where Kurokawa Akane lives is more prosperous, the people on the street are all walking in a hurry with a clear leader, and they don't even have time to look up at the scenery on the roadside.

The dense flow of people coming and going gives people a lifeless feeling.

This kind of atmosphere also made Kurokawa Akane relax unconsciously. She walked and strolled along the way, feeling the joy of strolling for the first time in a long time.

This is the happiness she should have at her age.

On the way, Kurokawa Akane met many people of his age. After school, many high school girls were walking in groups on the streets arm in arm, or gathering in various shops that young people liked.

Whenever she met these people, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but go up to join in the fun, wanting to see what the extracurricular life of a normal female high school student is like nowadays.

Suddenly, at a street corner, Kurokawa Akane saw a large group of young men and women queuing in front of a store.

Her curiosity was aroused, so she went over to take a look as usual and found that this seemed to be a place for some kind of performance.

"STARRY...is it a livehouse?"

Kurokawa Akane looked at the store name on the sign and for some reason felt a strong curiosity.

She had heard of livehouse before, which was mainly used for offline performances by bands.

After all, she is also a live performer, although in a different field, but she also wants to take this opportunity to experience what it's like to watch an offline performance as an audience member, which may help her future performances.

But after watching for a while, Kurokawa Akane was disappointed to find that he had to buy a ticket before entering.

The time available for ticket purchase had already ended, and judging by how popular the event was, it was obviously impossible for there to be any tickets left.

"It seems like I can only wait until next time..."

Kurokawa Akane felt a little lost.

Because I don’t know when I will have the chance to come again.

But just as she was about to turn around and leave, perhaps God heard what she was thinking, and the sound of a quarrel reached her ears.

She didn't hear the content of the argument very clearly, but just vaguely heard one sentence.

"We're breaking up! I won't watch the show anymore! I'll tear up my ticket!"

Kurokawa Akane turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, only to find that it was a girl who was on the phone.

Perhaps because of some reason, there was a conflict with her boyfriend, which led the girl to say such words in anger.

Originally, Kurokawa Akane thought he was just speaking in anger, but after the girl hung up the phone, she actually took out the ticket and pretended to tear it up.

"ah!"

Kurokawa Akane exclaimed and was about to stop the other party from wasting the food, but he was too late because of the distance.

Just as she rushed towards the girl, another person had already taken the lead and grabbed the girl's wrist.

She was a girl with short blue hair and a bass bag.

"Although I don't know what happened, the ticket is innocent."

She spoke earnestly to the girl who was planning to kill her.

"If you have lost interest in our performance tonight for some silly reasons, then you might as well return the ticket to me. I think there must be other people who are upset about not being able to watch the performance tonight."

"cold......"

The girl obviously recognized the girl with short blue hair in front of her, and couldn't help showing a guilty expression when she heard what she said.

"I'm sorry, I'm really not in the mood to watch tonight's performance. I don't want to ruin the viewing experience because of my own affairs and let down the hard work of everyone in the band."

As she spoke, she held the ticket in both hands and handed it back to Yamada Ryo respectfully.

"I was impulsive when I was about to tear up the ticket. I'm really sorry. Please give it back to me."

"Well, it's good that you realized your mistake in time."

Yamada Ryo took the ticket and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Don't worry, I will get this ticket to someone who needs it."

After returning the ticket to Yamada Ryo, the girl apologized several times, then ran away covering her face with shame.

After the girl left, Yamada Ryo looked at the ticket in his hand and finally couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect that being late for the show would bring me an unexpected bonus. If I sell this ticket now to someone who needs it urgently, I might be able to sell it for a high price."

As she spoke, she looked up and around, beginning to look for someone to sell tickets.

Soon, her eyes were fixed on Kurokawa Akane who was not far away and witnessed everything.

On the other side, Kurokawa Akane saw Yamada Ryo stopping the girl from killing the hostage and heard the conversation between the two, and he couldn't help but feel some strange feelings in his heart.

——That short-haired girl is so cool, is she one of the members performing today? She actually took the initiative to stop others from killing the ticket, she must value this performance very much!

Just as Kurokawa Akane was feeling emotional, he suddenly discovered that Yamada Ryo turned his head and looked at him.

Then, she saw Yamada Ryo walking towards her quickly.

Kurokawa Akane was a little flustered for a moment, not knowing what to do, so he had to stand there obediently.

But when Yamada Ryo came up to her, the first words he said stunned her.

"Sister, do you want some money?"

Yamada Ryo held the ticket in his hand and shook it in front of Kurokawa Akane.

"Fresh tickets. The show is about to start. The original price is 1,000 yen, but now it's only 5,000 yen. How about that?"

——Hey~! It’s fine if you just resell it, but instead of discounting it, you even raise the price?!

Kurokawa Akane just felt that his momentary admiration for Yamada Ryo was really blinded by greed.

"Yama...da...Ryo!"

Just as Yamada Ryo was still trying his best to promote the product to Kurokawa Akane, suddenly, a shout from a distance was approaching at a very fast speed.

Upon hearing this, Yamada Ryo's face suddenly changed and he hid behind Kurokawa Akane.

"Hide? Where are you going to hide?!"

Yamada Ryo was only concerned about her head and she hid behind Kurokawa Akane, but the huge bass bag behind her had nowhere to hide, exposing her whereabouts.

Ijichi Hongxia grabbed Yamada Ryo and scolded her harshly.

"Is there any performance you're not late for? Do you always have to wait for me to come out and catch you in person before you're satisfied?"

"Not every time, didn't you come out to catch me last week?"

Yamada Ryo said stubbornly.

"That's because you were still sleeping at home when your performance had already started, okay?! Do you really have to let me go to your house to catch you?"

"But you guys still managed to complete the performance without me that time."

As he spoke, Yamada Ryo became a bit emo.

"So this band doesn't need a bassist?"

"...It's just that laymen can't hear it, but there are still many old fans and people who know the business who are asking why you're not here, okay?"

Seeing that Yamada Ryo was starting to get upset, Ijichi Kouka had to slow down her tone.

"Okay, let the past be the past. At least you are absolutely needed for today's performance. Come with me now."

After saying that, she pulled Yamada Ryo and gave a slightly apologetic smile to Kurokawa Akane beside her.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I'll take her away now."

"Wait...wait a minute!"

At this time, Kurokawa Akane tried to persuade him to stay.

She reached into her wallet and pulled out a 10,000 yen bill.

"Um... I also want to watch your show tonight, but I didn't buy a ticket. Can you sell it to me?"

As Tuo spoke, she handed the banknotes to Yamada Ryo.

"Five thousand yen, I'll pay!"

When Yamada Ryo saw the 10,000 yen in Kurokawa Akane's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The magical piece of paper seemed to have some kind of powerful gravitational force, sucking Yamada Ryo over there.

Ijichi Kouka almost failed to grab Yamada Ryo. While wrestling with Yamada Ryo, she squeezed out a few words with difficulty.

"I...I'll take you in, don't buy a ticket from this guy!"

"Eh? Is it really okay?"

Kurokawa Akane was a little hesitant.

"Really? Put the money away! I'll take you in right now!"

Ichichi Hongxia couldn't hold on any longer and shouted to the sky.

"Okay...ok!"

Seeing this, Kurokawa Akane hurriedly took the money back.

The moment she put away the ten thousand yuan bill, Yidi Chi Hongxia's hand suddenly loosened, she took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

"Hongxia, do you know?"

Yamada Ryo turned his head and stared at Ichichi Koka with a resentful look on his face.

"I will never forgive anyone who cuts off my financial resources, even if it's you."

"......If your way of making money is all this crooked, no matter how much you hate me, I will cut off all your wealth!"

Ijichi Hongxia's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
