Chapter 122 In Exchange
There was an instant uproar in the audience.
Aoki Yasushi and others hid their achievements and fame, retreated behind the scenes, and left the stage to Nagakura Takuya.
…fragments of a magic show…
On the stage, Yui, Kukai, and Nadeshiko worked together to form a separate space with four large playing card props.
When Nagakura Takuya was performing his magic trick, Yameng, who had just returned from the rooftop, took the opportunity to sneak into the separate space behind the playing cards.
The poker props fell outward, and Yameng inside appeared on the stage with her back to everyone.
Yameng, with a red heart on her head, turned around calmly, waved to everyone enthusiastically, and winked slightly: "Yeah - has the shining love magic been delivered to everyone's heart!"
“Yeah——!” The audience immediately responded excitedly.
Yameng smiled freely and waved confidently: "Shiningzero and Royal Garden, thank you everyone!"
Aoki Yasushi: ...
Nadeshiko, Miya, Yui: …
"Xiao Meng," Miya, "Is this a transformation of the image..."
"Well...it seems so." Fuzi said helplessly.
Aoki Yasu: "...This is really Amu's style." X2
"Oh, by the way, An-chan," Nadeshiko suddenly called her, "I have something to tell you, could you please come out for a moment?"
"?" Qing Mu An, "Now???"
Now the stage is about to end.
"Yeah." Nadeshiko nodded affirmatively.
"But..." Aoki An wanted to refuse, but Miya suddenly pushed her from behind and walked towards the lounge, "Go ahead, An-chan, maybe Fu-chan has something important to tell you~"
"..."
Aoki Yasushi: There is a ghost.
Forget it… She sighed: "Then finish it quickly and come back early."
It turned out that the two of them were not satisfied with just going to the lounge, and they walked to the back of the stage. Fuko suddenly changed her image, took her hand and ran away, and did not stop until they could no longer hear the sound of the stage.
Aoki Yasushi: ...
Is it necessary...
I actually went so far away...
Qing Mu An calmed down his shortness of breath from running, turned his head and looked in the direction of the stage. He could no longer hear any movement over there. "Tell me, what do you want to do now?"
Pulling her so far away, and Miye being such a weird ghost...
After the New Year's greetings when Nadeshiko created a world for him and Kukai for just two of them, Aoki Yasu thought he had seen through Nadeshiko's tricks.
Besides, even if there is something to say, can't we just say it tomorrow, Saturday, at Fujisaki's house... It's too clumsy...
"Oh, I can't hide it from An-chan." Nadeshiko admitted very straightforwardly, "Please stay here for a while, An-chan."
“……”There’s really nothing we can do about them.
He was waiting without saying anything. Qing Muan thought for a moment and then said, "Have you considered what your father told you?"
Fuzi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes dimmed: "Let me think about it again."
"Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. If that day really comes, I think they will mostly bless you to grow."
Knowing what the other party was worried about, Aoki An tilted his head and smiled at Fuko.
Fuzi was slightly startled, then laughed out loud: "What? Are you eager for me to leave?"
Aoki Yasushi: ...
"I didn't say that." Qing Mu An snorted and turned his head away.
Nadeshiko retracted her gaze and looked towards the stage: "Don't tell them for now."
Of course, there still has to be a sense of ritual to say goodbye to the bond between you and Yameng... Aoki An nodded without hesitation: "Okay, in exchange, you are not allowed to tell them about the matter between me and Kukai."
It wouldn’t be too late for her to say it herself after she recovered from her illness and responded to Kukai. Even if she didn’t recover from her illness, she would definitely give Kukai a reply before the end of this semester, because Kukai would graduate this semester…
Nadeshiko: ...
Oh wow.
She blinked and said nothing cunningly.
——.
The sky was orange.
Royal Gardens.
The guardians held a celebratory banquet and filled the table with food and drinks.
"Cheers!" The six people raised their glasses of juice and clinked their glasses together.
Miya is still excited: "Ah~ It's so hot, so hot!"
Qing Muan smiled and said, "There is another person who has lost his enthusiasm!"
The others were stunned when they heard this and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the corner.
I saw Yameng squatting in the corner alone, quietly breaking down.
Six people: ...
"This is fucked up," Yameng said, wanting to cry, "I thought I wouldn't be so nervous if I changed my image."
She took a deep breath, questioning and distressed: "How could you say the shining love magic..."
Nadeshiko laughed helplessly twice, then asked Nagakura Takuya, "Are you happy, Takuya-kun?"
"Yes," Nagakura Takuya smiled, "It feels like I heard the voice of that guy I haven't seen for a long time."
Nadeshiko was stunned: "That guy?"
"Well, my friend, Zero..." Nagakura Takuya explained, "It tells me that it is an imaginary friend."
"Zero, that's where my stage name comes from."
Yui was stunned and couldn't help but murmured softly: "It's Shugo Chara."
Kong Hai next to him responded, "Yeah."
"Even though I can realize my dream, I can't smile," said Nagakura Takuya, "so I might be disliked by that guy."
He smiled helplessly and shrugged, "I don't know when I will no longer see Zero."
"But today, I seemed to hear that guy's voice." Nagakura Takuya thought of something and smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Say "Laugh, laugh". "
"..." Upon hearing this, Qing Mu An was slightly stunned.
Yui narrowed her eyes and said, "This child has never given up on finding her ideal self."
Yui: "Even if adults reject me, I will still perform magic."
Jie Hui continued: "It's the same as An An."
Same as her... Aoki An finally understood why he resonated with Nagakura Takuya's feelings that night. It was not only because of the similar feelings, but also because...
Even though Nagakura Takuya had to compromise with reality, he was still desperately looking for ways to relieve his inner feelings. Unconsciously, he always yearned for his ideal self.
Kong Hai suddenly patted her lightly: "Look, that..."
Aoki An looked over subconsciously and saw a guardian egg with a playing card pattern floating next to Nagakura Takuya.
The guardian egg quietly opened a little gap, and the little man dressed like a magician let out a small hush at her.
"..." Aoki An was extremely shocked. She suddenly figured out why she couldn't see Yui, Yui, and Yuri in her previous life. This was because her state in her previous life was exactly the same as Nagakura Takuya...
The difference is that Nagakura Takuya had seen his companions before, but she, perhaps when Yuie and the others were born, had unconsciously entered into infinite self-blame.
"Takuya-kun," after being reminded by Nadeshiko, Amen also saw the guardian egg, and she suddenly said, "I will definitely see Zero again."
