If one had to point out the difference between the two Dolores, it would be that the Dolores on stage is adorned with red gemstones, while the Dolores on the crystal chandelier, although her mask also has grooves, is empty.
"A borrowed mask will rust, and a stolen song will cough."
The newcomer strode forward, her black veil sweeping across the artificial rose bushes on the stage, each step landing on the accented notes of Xiangzi's keyboard. "When you wear my mask, don't you hear it biting your cheekbone? When you sing my songs, don't you notice the thorns I'm stuck in your throat?"
The newcomer, entirely driven by revenge, used songs of hatred and anger to cross over Metis and Amoris, gradually moving towards Dolores.
"Look, the true and false outlines are reflected here."
"When the drumbeats beat towards the rhythm of revenge."
"The sun's firelight will shine on the true Lake of Sorrow."
Dolores walked across the stage without any gemstone inscription, her a cappella singing without any accompaniment. Yet, both Yutenji Wakanagi and Wakaba Mutsumi seemed to realize something.
Whether it's the identical singing voice, the skillful rhythm and lyrics, everything seems to have been rehearsed. Especially since the lyrics were written by a boy himself.
They couldn't help but glance at Toyokawa Shoko, who nodded slightly, and then the melody of the drum kit and guitar skillfully followed.
The twin moons shone brightly on the stage, making the audience's eyes dazzled.
And within it, it has become a stage for the real and fake Dolores.
Doloris, the Sorrowful Lake on the Moon, the Real and False Moons at This Moment—this meaningful performance brought Ave Mujica's live show to another climax.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
The newcomer without gems, Miku ...
Driven by revenge, Hatsune Miku trained with an intensity no less than Ave Mujcia's after being severely humiliated by her younger sister. In fact, she was the most hardworking one before she fell ill.
At this moment, she even seemed to be subtly overshadowing the original Dolores (Hatsuka).
After all, she is the real "Triangle Hatsuka", having performed Triangle Hatsuka on stage for many years.
Overwhelmed by her sister's imposing aura, Chu Hua subconsciously took a step back. But soon, her guilty conscience turned into anger, and the guitar in her hand suddenly emitted piercing notes, while the sequins on her skirt exploded like shattered diamonds.
"It's not stealing, it's taking it back!"
"This jewel is mine, this mask is mine, Dolores is a twin doll, so why... why is it always you who is invited to the dolls' party?!"
What's real and what's fake? Is this a stage, or a confrontation between sisters? It seems like it's both.
Chu Hua, who also immersed herself in the identity of Dolores, shouted in an operatic tone, playing the melody of "Twin Moons" on her guitar.
Ah, silently, silently, I live as your alter ego.
“The master’s favor is always reserved for you, but when I am abandoned, I suffer the same fate.”
"Simply because you and I are so alike."
"This stage should have half a beam of light to illuminate my tear stains."
Everyone, including Hachiman Kairin, stared in surprise at Dolores, who was adorned with rubies, because the lyrics of "Twin Moons" were completely different from the original.
But the lyrics fit the melody and the stage perfectly.
Was this...something she created spontaneously?
Everyone, including Xiangzi, looked at Sanjiao Chuhua with a sudden flash of light.
Hatsune Miku, now avenger, looks down at her sister and thinks, "Hatsuka, you are indeed talented. Unfortunately, I will never forgive you now."
You, who possess the same talent as me, are no match for me, despite my years of hard work.
"I am the Avenger."
"Why did you steal my bonds and glory?"
"Have you noticed that the stolen jewels (firelight) are burning your chest?"
"Lies and truth are intertwined in a fateful knot."
"This solemn judgment"
Hatsune stared intently at Hatsuka, "Why... why did you have to hurt Yuuki even though I gave you everything? Only him, only him, I will never forgive you!"
This time, I will never forgive!
"False gems cannot highlight true eyes."
"The stolen fire will eventually be extinguished."
"The real Dolores has returned under the moon."
"Its identity no longer needs to be verified."
Even though Hatsune had already performed beyond her usual level, no one expected that when Miku Miku unleashed her true power, she would have such an overwhelming presence.
Moreover, her last line of lyrics startled Xiangzi and Chuhua, as if they understood what she was about to do next.
As expected, Miku Miku took off Dolores' mask and then casually threw it on the ground.
Suddenly, the entire venue fell silent.
"Liar..."
"It's Chu Hua..."
"It's SUMIMI's Triangle Hatsuka."
"Aaaaaaah, Dolores really is Mitsumi Hatsuka!"
"She really is Dolores!"
"Then... who was Dolores before she appeared?"
"He's definitely just an imposter. Although he acted very well, he's nowhere near as good as the real Dolores."
“Yeah, no wonder I thought Dolores’ performances were weird before.”
"That's right, actually... I feel the same way."
Whether it's true or false, the moment Hatsune took off her mask, the true identities of Dolores and Mitsumi Hatsuka were already confirmed.
"Get off here, you imposter! Don't try to ride on our Dolores's coattails!"
"Chu Hua! Chu Hua!"
"That imposter posing as Lord Chu Hua is truly despicable!"
The fans' emotions were completely ignited by the opera, while Hatsune Miku coldly watched the losers not far away.
Chu Hua, holding her guitar, slowly backed away. Listening to the fans' shouts and looking at her assertive older sister, she kept shaking her head, as if she couldn't accept this ending.
Without looking back, she turned and ran off the stage.
The fans cheered, thinking it was all part of a pre-arranged performance.
Miku Miku raised the microphone, and at that moment, Ave Mujica's live performance seemed to have completely become her personal show.
"Doloris!"
"Triangle Emerging Flower!"
"Doloris!"
"Triangle Emerging Flower!"
"Doloris!"
"Triangle Emerging Flower!"
The fans of Ave Mujica, Dolores, and Mitsumi Hatsuka in the audience were cheering wildly, shaking the entire live house.
The honor belongs to Hatsune Miku, the triangle.
Offstage, clutching her guitar and facing the staff, she ran away as if she didn't want to see their strange looks.
When they arrived at the door, a boy was standing there.
He was also the instigator of tonight's drama.
There wasn't much smugness on his face; instead, there was a hint of hesitation, as if he had guessed something.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Chu Hua say in a low voice, "Could we just let this pathetic clown leave the stage quietly like this?"
After saying that, she brushed past the boy and left.
Chapter Fifty-Nine: Becoming a Father (End of Volume Thirteen)
Ave Mujica's eventful live performance finally came to a close amidst the fans' reluctance to part and their cheers.
Miku Miku gently pressed her burning heart and followed her friends off the stage.
"I said, you're Hatsune Miku, right? So before... the person who's been performing with us all along is actually your sister, Misumi Hatsuka. When did you switch?" Meow Dream spoke first, after all, Ave Mujica's debut was a great success, and she was in a pretty good mood at the moment.
Although she didn't know what the two sisters were up to, Miaomengqin was simply asking out of curiosity.
Hatsune looked around as if searching for something. Upon hearing Nyanko-sensei's words, she couldn't help but say, "I will explain this to everyone properly later."
It didn't seem like something that could be explained in just a few words. However, Miao Mengqin teased her in a tone that didn't sound friendly: "But, Hatsune-kun, I really have to admire you. You can be so ruthless to your own sister."
The emotions you displayed on stage, you were serious, weren't you?
Hatsune paused for a moment, having already released all her anger on stage.
Clearly, Miku Miku is not the type to hold grudges, let alone towards her own sister.
Therefore, when she looked around, she was actually looking for her younger sister.
If she were willing to apologize to herself and to Xi Jun, she... she might consider forgiving her sister.
However, Mikoto's words were too sharp, and Hatsune Miku, who had reverted to her timid golden retriever form, didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Just then, Xiangzi stepped forward and said, "Don't talk like that, Yutenji-kun. We don't know the inside story yet!"
Hearing the girl say that, Miaomengqin gave a soft "humph".
Xiangzi sincerely said to Hatsune, "Alright, I'll take them to the celebration banquet next. Hatsune, you can leave now if you have something to do."
Hatsune stared blankly at her friend, a grateful expression on her face. Soon, she left the group first, seemingly searching for the figure of the girl who resembled her.
However, before she could even speak, she encountered Hachimi at the door and heard the boy say in a somewhat anxious tone, "I just had someone investigate your sister's whereabouts, and we found out that she bought a train ticket to leave Tokyo yesterday, and her departure date is today..."
"Huh?!" Hatsune's mind went blank for a moment.

In the quiet sanatorium, Mitsuka Hatsuka, carrying a travel bag, arrived at the door of a ward, only to see a nurse just coming out. She stared at the nurse blankly, a hint of impulse in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Excuse me, are you Hatsune Miku?"
The nurse also knew that the middle-aged woman in the room had twin daughters.
Moreover, she seems to be a fan of one of them.
Upon hearing the name "Hatsune Miku," the girl paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Oh, right..."
Then, she added jokingly, "Sorry, it's a pity it wasn't Chuhua who came to visit Mom. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
The nurse looked slightly embarrassed and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, please come in, Ms. Hatsune. Ms. Nao is arranging flowers inside right now."
Chu Hua nodded gently, then pushed the door open and went inside.
Ms. Nao looked up from the roses in her hand, looked up at the silent girl in front of her, and said with a smile, "It's Hatsuka. Come here quickly and help me see if this arrangement looks good?"
Hearing her mother call her name, the girl couldn't help but smile: "As expected, only Mom can recognize me and Hatsune Miku."
"What are you saying? You and Hatsune are both pieces of my flesh and blood, how could I possibly mistake one for the other..."
As Ms. Nao was speaking in a kind tone, she noticed the travel bag that Hatsuka was holding, and her somewhat strange expression.
"Chuhua, where are you planning to go?"
"Hmm, I don't know yet. I might travel to other places for a while first, and then... go back to my hometown to continue my studies," Chu Hua said with a light laugh.
Nao paused for a moment, then said softly, "Is it because of... Hatsune Miku?"
"I'm sorry, Mom. I failed to mend my relationship with Hatsune Miku as you wished. Instead, I completely messed things up."
Chu Hua said softly that she had known all along that her mother's coming to Tokyo for health treatment was only a secondary reason. The main reason was that she wanted her to have someone to rely on in the future so that she could live with Hatsune Miku and not be lonely and helpless.
Hearing her youngest daughter's bluntness, Nao seemed to understand something quickly and said softly, "Come here, my little one, come and tell me what you think."
Chu Hua smiled, seemingly very naturally, and nestled in her mother's arms, something that Hatsune could hardly do.
Then, Hatsuka told everyone about how she had recently taken Hatsune's place, without hiding anything except for the parts related to Hanami.
