Let me see your shine!

"It's okay, everyone's together."

Mahiru looked at her smiling face and said blankly:

"Forever?"

"?"

Hua Lian tilted her head in confusion, then smiled brightly, "Yeah!"

In Mahiru's eyes, Karen's smile filled the world with sparkling fragments of various colors.

This scene was so dreamy and so fascinating to her.

"Karen-chan."

From that day on, Mahiru fell in love with Karen and regarded her as his best friend.

…Memories gradually faded, and the shrill sound of the alarm clock reached my ears.

Mahiru woke up from her dream.

"Good morning, Karen-chan..."

She sat up in bed and found that Hualian and Guang's beds were empty.

They were not in the room.

Mahiru senses something is amiss...

"I see, this episode is about a fight with Mahiru."

Mai and Kurisu were watching the drama together as usual, and the former said this when she saw this.

"Mahiru, that's quite interesting too."

Kurisu finds Mahiru’s character very interesting, and how her feelings for Karen will play out will definitely be a highlight.

At the same time, many people also realized who the protagonist of this episode would be.

The barrage of comments on the small broken station has been brushed up:

"Oh my god, the Corridor Goddess!"

"Don't persecute my goddess!"

"Come on, Ms. Lu!"

"It's going to twist."

While everyone was watching the fun, the view shifted to the school.

Xiangzi, who was on duty today, hung behind Futaba and walked into the practice room, but found that there was already someone inside.

Hua Lian and Guang changed into gymnastics uniforms and stretched in them.

Karen hugged Guang and pressed against her chest. This action was the same as when Karen pressed against Mahiru in the first episode.

As Kaori and Futaba were observing the two, Mahiru arrived and saw this scene.

She couldn't help but ask, "Hua Lian-chan?"

Futaba said, "They'll be there as soon as we open the door."

"Good morning, everyone."

Karen greeted them, and then Maya, Claudine, and Junna also arrived.

While Mahiru was in a daze, Karen asked Maya if he was okay, then said confidently:

"I'll catch up with you."

Maya was a little surprised, but then smiled and said, "Okay."

Mahiru looked at this scene and said blankly:

"Karen...chan?"

Hua Lian heard her talking and gave her a vibrant smile.

Mahiru looked at her smile and suddenly realized something.

Something must have happened to Hua Lian that she didn't know about.

Something is different...

OP sounded at this time.

The audience happily chatted about Mahiru, and time passed quickly.

After the main film started, the changes in Hua Lian were captured.

She changed her usual behavior and practiced very seriously. She was the first one to come to practice in the morning, did not fall asleep in class, and practiced on her own until late after school.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

“That’s the way it should be.”

Seeing this, Li Xi finally nodded with satisfaction, expressing his approval of Hua Lian.

Back to the plot.

Kaori and the others were discussing Karen curiously, but only Mahiru felt depressed.

She understood one thing.

Something must have happened on the day Hua Lian and Guang didn't come back.

Just when Mahiru was at her lowest point, she received a package from her hometown.

It was a box with potatoes, vegetables, snacks and other things in it.

In addition, Mahiru also found a letter from her grandmother.

After lights out, she quietly came to the living room while Hualian and Guang were asleep.

In the voiceover, she read out the contents of the letter:

"Mahiru, are you doing okay?

I sent you a lot of new harvests from my fields. Let’s eat them together with Hualian and the others…”

In the living room, Mahiru put a DVD into the player and watched it on TV.

It was a treasure her grandmother had found while tidying out her cabinets, and she had sent it specifically for Mahiru to see.

At this time, the camera reflected a photo placed on the letter.

It was a photo taken when Mahiru was in middle school, a family photo of nine people including Mahiru.

The DVD starts playing.

The content is an interview with Mahiru by a local TV station after she was admitted to Seihō...

From the reporter's introduction, the audience learned that Mahiru's family runs a farm.

She is the eldest daughter among six brothers.

She joined the choir at the age of four on the recommendation of her grandmother, who loved musicals and plays.

After picking up a dancing stick at the age of six, her talent finally emerged and she won numerous awards.

When the program introduced her, various images of Mahiru as a child appeared on the screen.

...By the way, these are real images that Yuto asked for from Mahiru's family.

258 Don’t Take Hualian-chan Away!

When the audience saw this, many people complained on Twitter:

"Six brothers and sisters, this is too much..."

"Huh? Six people? Do families like this still exist in modern Japan?"

"I think so, right?"

"It's amazing."

"Is this Hokkaido?"

"But it seems like Mahiru is pretty good too, having won so many awards. As expected of a top student at Seihō..."

"Hey, wait, I feel like I've seen this interview somewhere."

"Me too, I feel like I have a vague impression of this. Where have I seen it before..."

"I checked, and there's no Kitachian Junior High School in Hokkaido. It must be a fictional place."

"I was Mahiru-chan's middle school classmate, and I remember this interview; it was a real interview on a local TV station that I saw on TV back then.

But the place names in this video have been changed, so I guess that’s why it can’t be found online.”

"Yes, that's right. And the Mahiru family also runs a farm, but in real life it's called Iwata Farm."

"They're right. I'm Mahiru-chan's middle school classmate. I've been to her house before. The people in the photo are Mahiru-chan's family."

"Huh? So this is a real character background? Qin Youren used it directly in the drama? Is there such a thing?"

"By the way, it seems that Kagura Hikaru did transfer back from England."

"Come to think of it, Kaori said in 'Soul Eater Zero' that she and Futaba have known each other since childhood..."

"If I remember correctly, Claudine was also a child star."

"So, Maya's parents are indeed stage actors."

"What? Are we watching a documentary?"

"Is there such a thing? I suggest you check if there are any giraffes in Shengxiang!"

"I've seen all sorts of things (crossed out). I've never seen anything like this."

"Could it be that the graduates from Seihō were serious when they said they also participated in the auditions?"

The audience was a little overwhelmed when they suddenly realized that the drama was so closely related to reality.

But the fifth episode was still airing, and they didn't have time to discuss the topic in depth.

During the interview, the reporter asked a question:

"You'll be taking a new step in your life in Tokyo starting in April. Can you tell me what kind of star you want to be?"

Middle school student Mahiru was a little flustered by this term: "Star?! That..."

Before she could answer, Mahiru turned off the DVD.

She stayed in the dark living room in silence, staring at the black TV screen in a daze...

Then the camera switches to the next day.

Class A is practicing "Starlight" in the classroom.

Mahiru stood at the end of the crowd, watching Futaba and Claudine sparring, with a frustrated expression on his face, he thought to himself:

"Grandma, Shengxiang Music Academy is an amazing place."

“Everyone is excellent, talented and shining.”
