They all pushed me!

The pregnant Ms. Kurokawa waved her hand and said with a gentle smile:

"Miss Hondo, you don't have to bother with us. After all, you told us yesterday that that's your new guest."

"Well, thank you for your understanding."

Hondou Mai nodded, but her conversation with the Kurokawa couple was heard clearly by Kitagawa Ryo on the other side.

Seeing Mrs. Kurokawa with a peaceful and happy face, Kitagawa Ryo couldn't help but think of Ms. Arima, who walked into the theater with a big belly, whom Toshiro Kindaichi complained to him last month.

Although Ms. Arima did not cause any more trouble until the performance of "Youth Forbidden Game" was completed, Toshiro Kindaichi, who was forced to be on edge throughout the whole performance, could not help but find someone to investigate her afterwards, fearing that she was an "actor" specially prepared by the rival troupe to cause trouble.

However, the final result turned out to be that the other party did have a little connection with the entertainment industry. This Ms. Arima seemed to want to be an artist when she was young, but because she had no talent and connections, she has hit a wall everywhere until today, so she looked like she was pinning all her hopes on her unborn child.

To use the words of Toshio Kindaichi, this is probably like the stupid bird that doesn't want to fly first, but instead chooses to lay an egg and force the egg to fly.

If you think about it carefully, his adoptive mother Kitagawa Tomiko actually held a similar mentality.

Compared with the two of them, Beichuan Liang naturally felt that the family in front of him, which looked harmonious and happy, and the couple's eyes were full of anticipation for the newborn, was quite pleasing to the eye.

Just in time, they noticed this side, so Beichuan Liang simply walked over and greeted them politely.

When Kitagawa Ryo came so close, the Kurokawa couple recognized him, but what made him feel relieved was that they were simply familiar with him, and their hearts were now basically all on the child in Mrs. Kurokawa's belly, so their attitude was only slightly warmer.

During the brief conversation, Kitagawa Ryo also learned that the couple also worked in Tokyo. Both their conversation and temperament were consistent with his impression of a small middle-class family.

In fact, in the first few years after Beichuan Liang traveled to this world, when he was in the orphanage, what he had always hoped to be adopted by this type of family.

Although I might not be able to achieve what I have today, I might be able to enjoy another kind of happiness in life.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Liang also subconsciously looked at Mrs. Kurokawa's belly, which was already showing obvious signs of bulging.

In a sense, the unborn child was much luckier than him from the very beginning.

Hoshino Ai, who also noticed the situation here, also jumped over, followed Kitagawa Ryo's line of sight and looked at Mrs. Kurokawa's belly, and asked with interest:

"Speaking of which, have you two thought of a name for the child in advance?"

"Well, we already know it. It's a cute girl like you."

Mrs. Kurokawa smiled and praised Hoshino Ai in front of her, while Kitagawa Ryo tilted his head slightly to the side.

Although the sex of the fetus can be determined through B-ultrasound three or four months after pregnancy, hospitals actually prohibit doctors from disclosing this information to pregnant women and their families.

This is essentially to protect newborns and pregnant women. After all, every family wants a child of different genders. If the answer they get is not satisfactory, the pregnant woman may even be forced to have an abortion.

However, Goro Amemiya should have realized that the couple did not care about the gender of the child, but were genuinely looking forward to the new member of the family, so he chose to reveal this answer privately.

"As for the name, my husband and I are currently thinking of Akane."

"Akane? Akane, Akane, Ayane, Akane?"

Hoshino Ai pronounced the name, but since Japanese names have different pronunciations and writing methods, just like Kitagawa Rumi is written as Rumi and pronounced as Ruby, she didn't know which one it was.

"It's Akane, Akane."

Mrs. Kurokawa nodded and repeated the name twice:

"Akane Kurokawa."

"A very nice name."

Beichuan Liang smiled and nodded in praise.

After chatting for such a long time, Mrs. Kurokawa also showed a somewhat tired look, and Mr. Kurokawa immediately asked with concern:

"How about it? Do you want to go back first?"

"Ah."

After receiving his wife's reply, Mr. Kurokawa said goodbye to the three people one by one, carefully helped his wife back to the car, and prepared to return to the hospital.

After this little episode, Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai continued their journey under the guidance of their tour guide Mai Hondou.

Together we climbed to the top of a not-so-steep mountain to watch the sunset sinking into the forest; together we teased each other on a small boat on the river and posed in our signature poses from the movie "Titanic"; together we leaned on the railing of the observation deck where we could see the sea and watched the color of the sea change from light green near the shore to blue, gray-blue, azure blue, dark blue, dark blue, and then to the horizon.

Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai both don't like having their pictures taken. Hondou Mai was a little uncomfortable at first, but eventually got used to it.

In fact, this was not the first time she had encountered this type of traveler. A long time ago, she met a newlywed couple who also had this strange habit.

Because we firmly believe that we will spend the rest of our long life together, we won’t be too concerned about capturing every moment we spent together with a camera.

The other person's eyes are the only key to open the safe called memory. One only needs to look at one's reflection in his pupils, and all those things, those scenery, and those smells will come flooding back to one's mind in an instant.

-------------------------------------

"I am back."

After spending three or four days of pleasant vacation in Miyazaki Prefecture, Kitagawa Ryo finally returned to his home in Tokyo with a lot of luggage.

"Welcome home, brother."

As if she had been waiting at the door for a long time, Kitagawa Rumi looked up at him and gave him a sweet smile, and even tried to stretch out her little hand to help bring in the luggage.

"But why is it one day earlier than the scheduled date?"

Beichuan Liang smiled and put his luggage aside. He reached out and touched his sister's head:

"Because I don't want to miss Ruby's dance, is that an okay reason?"

He felt that his sister's hair seemed to have grown longer, and compared to the time when she was in "First Dispatch", it now covered her entire shoulders.

Kitagawa Rumi was quite resistant to the idea of ​​cutting her hair short, as if every strand of hair was her precious personal property, but Kitagawa Ryoya respected her opinion and simply let her keep her hair long.

“That’s the best reason.”

Kitagawa Rumi hugged his neck, and her warm breath tickled Kitagawa Ryo's earlobe:

"Brother, you must watch over me then."

"And—you are only allowed to look at me."

-------------------------------------

"I will put more energy into idol work in the future."

Hoshino Ai looked at Saito Ichigo in front of her and spoke seriously.

"I know that your wish is to see B Komachi perform on the Tokyo Dome stage."

"I will work harder to realize this wish."

"But if that day really comes, I also hope that the president can terminate my contract and let me graduate from being an idol."

It was the first time that Saito Ichigo saw Hoshino Ai show such a determined attitude.

On August 1997, 8, Japanese diva Namie Amuro held the first dome tour concert by a female singer in Japanese history. At the age of 2, she became the youngest female singer to perform at the Tokyo Dome.

Hoshino Ai didn't think her talent could surpass that of the queen, so she postponed the deadline by one year.

Twenty years old.

If I could achieve President Saito's vision and successfully graduate from being an idol by the time I'm 20 years old.

It was cool at that time.

I am already able to fall in love.

Sixteen years old.

I don't know where to start, so let me talk about this book first. Regarding the concept of the Fader fan fiction, I have almost overturned four outlines. Because of the inherent problems in the setting, it is difficult for the Fader fan fiction to achieve the best of both worlds.

If I write about the offspring along the lines of the original work, even if I change the world line where Hoshino Ai was murdered, it still won't feel satisfying enough, so it's best to solve the tragedy from the root.

But in this case, Aqua and Ruby from the original work would be removed, which would fundamentally destroy the setting of the original work. So when I was just conceiving the idea, I was troubled by this paradox for a long time.

It was almost the beginning of last month that I established the settings that you see now. I used the time difference that Ruby was reincarnated four years after her death in the original work to preserve this character, while also trying not to delete her cute points in the original work (for example, she had online confrontations with people when she was a baby), and then let Aqua choose to continue living as Dr. Goro.

As for the protagonist's age, I also adjusted it many times. She must be younger than Hoshino Ai, but not too much younger, otherwise she would not be able to keep up with the plot timeline. But she cannot be too close, otherwise the age difference with her descendants, Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa, will be too big.

So in the end we chose the setting that she is four years younger than Hoshino Ai. In terms of age, she is eleven years older than Kana and Akane.

If you have read the original novel, you will know that when Akane and Ruby were discussing their views on love, they both said that they could accept an age difference of more than ten years, and that mental age was more important. Coupled with the heritage of the LALALAI troupe, there is no problem in writing this line.

As for Magana, she didn't have a good life when she was a child star because of her mother. If the male protagonist wants to intervene and solve the problem, he definitely cannot be like Aqua in the original work, who is about the same age as the other party. After all, it is inconvenient for a three or four-year-old child to do anything, and no one cares.

Therefore, in the story line of Arima Kana's child star, the protagonist who appears as a fifteen-year-old boy is more capable and equipped with the means to directly solve problems.

Regardless of whether everyone will be satisfied or not, this is the most perfect solution I can think of to simultaneously unfold the four story lines of Hoshino Ai, Ruby, Arima Kana, and Kurokawa Akane.

Then there's the plot.

I am an author who likes to use the characters and worldview of the original work to construct my own original plot, but at the same time I will echo the original work, which can be seen from the chapters before it is put on the shelves.

For example, MEM啾 has a cute cat mouth in the original book, so I arranged the [Watermelon Kitten] suit for her. Ai’s [Strawberry Bunny] also corresponds to the rabbit suit in the MV.

As for the drama part of the LALALAI Theater, I am a drama lover myself; and for the shooting descriptions of TV series and movies, I will also try my best to collect relevant information, for example, I have read the textbook "Foundations of Drama Performance" of the Chinese Academy of Drama, and try to make it both realistic and interesting.

Like I said before, I wanted to write a Fader fanfiction that removed all the toxic aspects of the original work and kept the interesting parts of the original work, and I hope you enjoy reading it.

It will be officially on the shelves at 12 noon tomorrow. It should be 5,000 words at noon and 5,000 words in the evening, a total of 10,000 words updated.

Thank you for your continued reading and support.

Chapter 28: I've always been a fan of Ruby

LALALAI Theater, in a dedicated practice room with good sound insulation.

"One click, two clicks—"

Kitagawa Ryo was tapping the beat quietly while looking at his sister in front of him. Accompanied by the light music and his beat, Kitagawa Rumi was tiptoeing lightly, and the small hem of her skirt drew a circular curve in the air as she spun.

"Brother, how was my dancing—"

When the song was over, Kitagawa Rumi didn't even bother to wipe the thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She trotted to Kitagawa Ryo, took his arm, shook it, and asked in a coquettish manner while drawing out long notes.

"It's more than enough to debut now."

Beichuan Liang smiled and took out a handkerchief. He squatted down and helped wipe the sweat from his sister's forehead and nose, and praised her very considerately.

"hey-hey."

Seemingly enjoying such comments, Kitagawa Rumi raised her face and revealed a sweet smile.

Because she decided to shift her work focus back to idols, Hoshino Ai submitted her resignation to the LALALAI troupe a few days ago and immediately devoted herself to the release of her next single.

For Kitagawa Rumi, there couldn't be any better news than this.

When she thought of this, she rubbed Beichuan Liang's cheek again:

"I practiced very hard for a long time."

This statement is actually not an exaggeration. When Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai were on vacation in Miyazaki Prefecture, Kitagawa Rumi could be said to have devoted herself wholeheartedly to dance practice. What she is now showing in front of Kitagawa Ryo can be said to be completely presentable.

After all, no one can be too harsh on a child who is just a little bit away from turning four.

In fact, even now, Kitagawa Rumi herself doesn't dare, or is not able to confess her reincarnated identity to Kitagawa Ryo.

The best time for Kitagawa Rumi to confess should have been when she was a baby and had no contact with Kitagawa Ryo, but at that time she was worried that her brother would be concerned about her identity and could not make up his mind to turn against the Kitagawa family, so she endured it and helped to find a lot of evidence against the Kitagawa couple.

After that, because I was too immersed in the daily life with Kitagawa Ryo under the same roof, it was already now when I remembered this incident.

If Kitagawa Ryo knew that the soul of Sarina Tendouji was actually inside her, then many of her actions over the years would have caused Kitagawa Rumi to be socially doomed on the spot.

So forget it.

Kitagawa Rumi looked away feeling somewhat guilty.

"Well, I know Ruby is a good, hard-working kid."

She felt extremely satisfied while enjoying her brother's pat on the head.

Being a child also has its advantages.

It's just that the body is too weak, and it's easy to get tired if the amount of exercise is too much.

"If you're tired, Ruby, take a rest."

Kitagawa Ryoya noticed that his sister was tired. After all, dancing a four-minute dance song was quite a physical drain on a child. So he considerately took out a cushion from his backpack and let his sister rest for a while against the wall.

Then, under Rumi's expectant gaze, Kitagawa Ryo slowly pulled out a wooden sword for practice from his backpack.

One of the siblings is practicing dancing for a kindergarten performance in a few days, while the other is practicing martial arts for next year's Taiga drama. If you round it off, the difference doesn't seem that big.

When he acted in special effects dramas before, although he only appeared as the childhood male protagonist with a small role, Kitagawa Ryo still sought out the martial arts instructor in the crew and asked him for some basic martial arts moves and fighting postures.
