Let me see your shine!

The audience was completely intrigued and wanted to know what the truth was.

That morning, Hualian tried to call Guang again, but still no one answered.

She sent her a message as usual:

【Good morning】

There are three more messages above this one:

I'm so lonely

If Guang-chan isn't here, I...

【Waiting for your reply】

Guang never replied to her, only Hualian sent her messages.

After sending the message, Karen put on the hairpin and went to school with Mahiru.

They walked to the mailbox on the road and wanted to send a letter to Guang in London.

Nana and Junna just arrived. Seeing that Karen had a complicated expression, Nana came over and hugged her, saying:

"Aren't you cold, Karen-chan?"

She joked: "Hot BANANA."

Hua Lian smiled.

At the same time, Hua Lian said in the voiceover:

"Your regards, Lord Kagura Hikaru."

"It's been cold lately, how are you doing?"

"The 100th Seizo Festival will be here soon. We are training hard every day to ensure the success of the official performance."

"Class B also works late every day preparing for the stage."

Scenes of practice and preparation appeared on the screen.

"Starlight has evolved beyond last year's performance."

"This was supposed to be the first time Guang-chan and I were on stage together..."

Then the camera cuts to her returning to the dormitory and looking at the table.

There was a stack of letters on the table.

All the letters Hua Lian sent were sent back because no one was found.

"Hey, Hikaru-chan."

"Do you still remember our agreement?"

One day, at dusk.

After Junna confirmed who would stay and continue working, Nana came over with dessert.

When everyone was about to eat, a voice suddenly came from next door:

"Stop, stop."

The camera turns to Hua Lian and others who are rehearsing a stage play.

Hua Lian was holding her knees and gasping for breath.

Amemiya, who was in charge of the script, said, "Aishiro-san, are you feeling unwell?"

"Do not……"

"Then why can you only perform like this?"

Hua Lian stopped and didn't answer.

Mayu asked, "Is it because of Kagura-san?"

Hua Lian's body trembled:

"what……"

Chapter 334: Stage Girl's Experience Intermission

"Ugh."

Yu Gong couldn't help but sigh: "She dropped out of school half a year ago, right? How long are you going to keep agonizing over it?"

"Amamiya-san!"

Mahiru interrupted her.

"……sorry."

Amemiya: "I know you're sad, but you have to calm down. The Seiyuu Festival is just around the corner."

"Well, I'm sorry."

Hua Lian apologized quietly.

At this time, Zhenjing said in a gentle tone: "If it really doesn't work, we can find a substitute, okay."

【Hua Lian has become useless in an instant. 】

Without light, she is no longer able to function.

【But this Masai-san seems pretty ruthless too.】

What else can we do? If the actors are useless, what's the point of keeping them if we don't replace them?

The audience chatted while watching.

Hualian continued to practice.

After a while...

"What's wrong with me?"

She thought to herself:

“I can’t… feel anything.

The tension of standing on the stage, the excitement of singing on the stage. Everything that feels like being on the stage shines..."

Hua Lian stretched out her hand and made a gesture.

But soon, her hands dropped.

"Karen-chan?"

Mahiru said worriedly.

The others also stopped and looked at her.

Hua Lian's voice trembled: "I don't understand anything."

"Why on earth am I standing on the stage when Guang-chan is clearly no longer here."

Hua Lian whispered, "Why should I go on stage?"

After she finished speaking, she was surprised:

"No, this is my favorite stage. I just said 'why'."

Hua Lian covered her face sadly.

Then she remembered what Guang had said:

"If I don't pass that audition, it's over. If I don't pass, I'll lose the most important thing about being a stage girl."

"--I see."

Tears continued to fall, and she said sadly: "Although I don't understand, I understand."

"Guang-chan once lost the most important thing to her."

Mahiru murmured, "Karako-chan..."

Hua Lian cried and said:

"Hikari-chan—!"

The next day, Hua Lian didn't come to school.

Maya and the others were resting and chatting under the pavilion at school.

Maya said: “The joy, happiness, and excitement of standing on the stage, the happiness of dancing on the stage, the beauty of singing, and the glory that illuminates the stage.

Kagura-san, who was deprived of all this, was once a dead stage girl.

She recalled what she looked like when she first transferred here.

Claudine said: "But we haven't lost anything. The joy, happiness and excitement of standing on the stage are still there."

Futaba asked, "Is it because Kagura didn't take it away?"

Xiangzi was a little confused: "But why? She has obviously become a Top Star, why?"

Mahiru speculated: "It's not that you can't take it away, but you don't want to take it away, Karen-chan's brilliance."

Futaba interface: "And by the way, he also protected us."

Xiangzi: "Obviously no one asked her to do this."

Nana also said: "But, if that's the case, Guang-chan went to Guangmang first, so where is he now and what is he doing?"

The audience also understood:

[So that's how it is. Hikari didn't want to take away Shine, so they didn't change.]

But in the end, we still don’t know where the light is.

【It's really full of mysteries.】

[There's been no news for seven months. Could Guang be dead?]

[Fuck, you're not the one who guessed Guang was dead before, are you?]

[Don't even mention it. He hasn't been seen for seven months. He might really be dead.]

The audience began to speculate in dangerous directions.

"Perhaps, as BANANA said, Starlight is a tragedy where the protagonists will eventually separate."

Hua Lian started reading a book in bed.

"I can't understand it by myself, Hikaru-chan."

But as she was reading the book, something suddenly occurred to her.

At dusk, when Mahiru returned, she found Karen sitting at her desk, translating Starlight.

"Are you translating Starlight?"

Hua Lian said absentmindedly: "Yeah."

Seeing that she had found what she wanted to do, Mahiru smiled with relief.

Then the soothing BGM sounded.

Hua Lian worked hard to translate books.

Mahiru and the others would also take care of her so that she could concentrate on translating.

Time passes day by day.

“…picking the stars is the forgiveness of sins, picking the stars is the miracle of the night.”

"Flora, her eyes burned by the starlight, fell from the top of the tower, leaving Claire behind to pay for her crime of trying to pick the stars... eh?"

Hualian found something wrong:

"Imprisoned in the Star-Picking Tower, a new sinner..."

"Imprisonment?"
