In the past, she thought Teacher Haibara was a little scary, but after chatting with her for a while, she found that Teacher Haibara was a very nice person.
Gentle...like it.
Moreover, Mr. Huihara’s lectures are also very good. Although everyone may find them a bit boring, if you listen carefully, you will find that the knowledge is organized very clearly and the important parts are also very clear.
It would be nice if I could get to know more about Mr. Haibara in the future.
However, today she actually lied to Teacher Haibara.
She became an idol not for noble reasons like wanting to bring smiles to others' faces; that was just self-deception.
She just had to be.
Because the family is short of money, or rather... owes money.
At that time, the only remaining option for her family was to get an introduction to the agency she knew. If she didn't go, Chika Sakaki didn't know if she would do something even more terrible.
But with a personality like hers, she never had a friend to talk to since she was a child, and she didn't dare to dance or sing in front of others, so she could hardly do it.
The other members of the girl group also disliked her and often excluded her, such as hiding her shoes during practice and tampering with her clothes.
Just when she was about to despair, perhaps it was a miracle, perhaps it was good luck after a long period of misfortune, something incredible happened to her.
She became a magical girl.
It is a relic left to her by her grandmother.
When she was feeling extremely depressed, the pendulum her grandmother left her began to shine, turning her into a magical girl.
Her magic tool magician has a variety of magical abilities, including the ability to change her appearance.
After putting on a disguise called "Tachibana Airu", she can become as confident and courageous as the magical girl Hoshika.
After that, the idol's path began to go smoothly.
The debts owed by my family have been paid off, and I no longer have to be harassed by debt collectors every day. Many people also like me. After becoming a magical girl, everything seems to be getting better.
However, that was just an illusion...
Chapter 21 Huiyuan's Home Visit
At night, the clouds in the sky were gray and thin, and the moonlight was also dim. The light shone on the empty streets, and only the street lights illuminated the drifting dust.
Before she knew it, Chika Sakaki had arrived at her doorstep.
Although she is a very popular idol, her conditions are not as good as others imagine. Her house is barely big enough for two people.
Because being an idol doesn't earn much money, most of it is used to pay off debts. Now Chika Sakaki doesn't have much money on her, barely enough for her daily living.
Even when she reached the door, Chika Sakaki hesitated for a long time before knocking gently.
After a while, the door opened.
A middle-aged man who seemed to be in a very bad mental state was standing at the door, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He looked like a drunk and failed middle-aged man, and it seemed that he could not even stand steadily.
"I...I'm back."
Chika Sakaki lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
At this moment, she suddenly thought inexplicably that Teacher Huihara seemed to smell of alcohol today, because she was very familiar with this smell.
The man didn't say anything and just let him in.
As soon as she entered the door and took off her shoes, Chika Sakaki felt that she stepped on pieces of paper. She lowered her head and found many pieces of paper with words written on them and covered with tape on the ground.
When seeing those pieces of paper, Chika Sakaki's body stiffened a little.
You don't need to look closely at the words on it to know that it's another IOU.
She lowered her head, her voice trembling:
"Why is there another IOU... didn't I pay it off last time?"
There was fear in Chika Sakaki's eyes.
These IOUs were like a nightmare to her.
She would clearly pay off the money and throw it away every time, but then it would return to her home again as if cursed.
That's why she didn't want to go home...
In the face of Sakaki Chika's questioning, the drunk man seemed not to have heard it at all. He just staggered and kept muttering something about money.
This drunken man is her father, a man she fears and hates.
Probably since she started junior high school, he hasn't had a job. He gambles and drinks every day and stays out all night. Pachinko is just the basic thing, but later it got worse.
Later, her mother abandoned her alone and fled to an unknown place because the family was in debt.
When she was in junior high school, she would see IOUs on her doorstep every time she came home from school, and she might even have her windows smashed by gangsters when she was sleeping at night.
During that period, she always cried in fear and covered her head with a quilt when she slept, trying to tell herself that these were all nightmares and that everything would be fine after she woke up.
But the reality has always been this.
From childhood to adulthood, the only person who was very kind to her was her grandmother, but her grandmother passed away long ago.
Later, because her family owed too much money, she tried to be an idol in an agency with the help of a relative, and only then did she fill the hole in her family bit by bit.
But even so, the nightmare did not end.
The man was drunk, cursing and talking to himself:
"Today... my luck is not very good, I can win it back next time. Where is your money this week?"
"........."
Chika Sakaki didn't have any income this week.
Because Kirishima Ai has been having a hard time fighting alone recently, and she also wants to go back to school to study, she is taking a break at school for a while.
The small amount of income came from her online account and tips from fans, which she had just withdrawn from the bank a while ago and intended to use as living expenses.
"I don't have much money this week. Can you please stop gambling..."
She pleaded quietly.
The man opened his muddled eyes, then moved closer and gave an ugly smile:
"Qianhua... believe me, I was just unlucky today. I can pay you back tomorrow..."
Chika Sakaki stepped back in fear.
"I...I really have no money..."
After she expressed her refusal, the man's expression suddenly became gloomy and he wanted to say something, but Chika Sakaki took this opportunity to escape.
…………
Chika Sakaki fled back to her room, locked the door, and then collapsed on the ground, looking with empty eyes at the room that she hadn't cleaned for a long time.
If the man had been more drunk, he might have hit her.
Although she refused to give the man money, she knew that she would probably have to hand over the rest of the money later.
Because the man knew her most secret that no one else could know.
The one who is the idol on the stage is not actually her, but the magical girl Hoshika.
If this secret were known to others, her life would be over.
In reality, she is actually a good-for-nothing, timid and cowardly person who doesn't even know how to talk to others.
Every word of encouragement she gave to others and the songs she sang on the stage had nothing to do with her; they were all lies covered up by magic.
After sitting on the ground for a while, she didn't know what to do when she thought about the money she had to pay back. All she felt was despair.
In that case...she would have to go back to perform again.
Should I give up on going to school?
No no no...
Otherwise... let's wait until after the midterm exam.
If the results are good, maybe...
Chika Sakaki wiped her tears, searched the room for a while, and finally found the pair of scissors she often used on the table.
She picked up the scissors and cut a bloody mark on her wrist, with a slightly painful expression on her face.
I don't know when she started to have this twisted habit.
“What should I do…what should I do…”
Chika Sakaki muttered to herself in despair while slashing her arms, as if she wanted to chop someone viciously.
Because of the damage, the pendulum hanging around her neck lit up.
This light helps her, as an ordinary person, to protect herself.
Although it can block damage from monsters, it cannot block self-harm.
After her hands were covered with blood, Chika Sakaki felt so painful that she wanted to cry.
Her eyes dimmed for a moment, she put down the scissors, and then took out the magic tool she used to transform.
"Microphone test..."
As the flower opened, the magician opened its flower, revealing the slot inside.
Chika Sakaki took off her pendulum and put it into the magic tool. After a flash of light, she transformed from Chika Sakaki into the magical girl Hoshika.
And the previous wounds were also transferred to the body of the magical girl Xinghua.
Chika Sakaki is a cowardly and powerless person.
If she doesn't transform into the magical girl Hoshika, she won't be able to survive.
"Ah, I accidentally got myself all hurt again. I'm too pessimistic."
The magical girl looked at the blood flowing from her body, smiled helplessly, then sat up from the ground briskly and spun around.
She walked to the mirror, wearing a long dress that was as gorgeous as petals, looked at herself, and then cast a coquettish glance at herself in the mirror.
"No, Chika, the important thing is the smile. When you want to cry, just smile."
Compared to Chika Sakaki, the magical girl Hoshika in the mirror showed the brightest and happiest smile, like a carefree elf.
Magical Girl Hoshika doesn't cry or despair.
It is a completely different existence from the weak side of myself as an ordinary person.
"Like this, smile..."
She stretched out her slender white hands, slowly pinched her cheeks, then used her fingers to pull the corners of her mouth, slowly lifting them up——
"Hey, that's weird...why am I...crying?"
Magical girl Xinghua looked at her tears in the mirror and felt confused for the first time.
...............
Then, soon, the midterm exam arrived.
During this period, the problem kids in Huihara's class skipped classes many times. Maybe after a while, the principal will come to see her.
According to the previous agreement, if they perform poorly in this exam, Huihara will visit each of their homes.
Kirishima Ai's grades are as excellent as ever. This time she is even the top student in the class and among the top ten in the school year. Huibara can't do anything to her.
Shiori Takanashi's performance was as bad as ever, but she was also bad at fighting monsters, so Haibara didn't bother with her.
