Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 18 Lament (Part 1)
“…”
'Why would someone like that appear?'
After closing the closet door and looking at herself in the mirror, the girl felt some inexplicable thoughts in her heart.
In the mirror, a radiant purple girl appeared. Because she was going to meet the fans, she had to act like a normal girl, but she couldn't ruin the fans' dreams. Although she was exhausted from the training, after the rules, the girl in the mirror became the idol 'Vanilla' again.
She wore a mysterious pink and purple shirt, and had cute little jewelry on her wrists. Although her slightly cool face was unusually eye-catching, she looked a bit more like a normal person because of her hair tied up in a bun. Her body curves and features, which she was proud of, were her weapons of pride. Whether it was her slender, smooth and delicate long legs, or her thin waist that could be held in one hand without a trace of fat, everything was as beautiful as in a dream.
And even though she barely caught up in the last round, through hard work and practice, she is now the fourth in the idol rankings, and is not too far behind the third place who was just eliminated. If the fan club is well managed this time, it is not impossible to surpass her directly. In that case, she can make a wish through that wish, hoping to become the happiest girl in the world. It was originally like this, even if she worked hard until now, it is still like this. Singing for others is basically to make yourself happy. Even the Holy Light cannot deny the correctness of this behavior.
but……
"That's nothing..."
Looking at her face in the mirror, the girl bit her lip, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Inferiority complex.
What echoed in my mind was that person's smiling face.
As a woman, she naturally knew why Mary acted so impulsively and even showed such sharp hostility. It would be better to say that if she didn't do this, she would not be herself. Because if it continued like this, even Vanilla herself would not be able to help but have such thoughts.
What is this? It's like when you are trying hard to race with others, someone of your age appears in front of you, and then runs past everyone like a puff of smoke, and in the end you say that this person is not here to participate in the race, but only to participate in the martial arts competition, and to help you watch the venue. What is this? Something that is regarded as a treasure of life is just something that others don't even bother to participate in. Because you can tell from the face and details of that person that he disdains it.
An idol has to observe everyone's thoughts and try his best not to disgust or scare people. This is just a natural ability acquired after such efforts. So even if he didn't say it, everyone could sense and realize that the person who had suppressed everyone's aura since he walked in was fundamentally disdainful of this activity. He didn't care about singing and dancing, nor did he care about culture. The strong smell of rust on his body was unbelievable. In essence, he was no different from those terrible warriors who were dressed in heavy armor and had almost no human emotions that they had seen before.
However, however, isn’t it because of this that people are drawn to it like moths…
"What kind of holy light is this... crushing someone's self-esteem and then saying that they are not a contestant... how can this be justified..."
Looking at the face in the mirror that she once approved of, the girl's mood became increasingly gloomy.
It felt like I was just a fragment that had been peeled off from him.
Although ordinary people who don't pay much attention to it won't notice it at all, but if you observe it a little bit, you will know it. It is because he is an idol that I will notice it.
Everyone subconsciously revolves around him. As long as he speaks, someone will definitely listen, and his every move will attract other people's attention. Whether it is good or bad. Looking at his face and posture, you will have the urge to interact or attack.
His long black hair was draped over his white robe without any decorations, and his star-like eyes looked at everyone equally. The rough and mysterious cross medal hung on his chest, and the bracelet on his wrist looked simple but full of charm. There were also six pairs of light wings looming behind him that could only be seen by people with awakened magic or some special means. The hymns and praises were only used to praise him alone.
The vague arrogance, the compassionate attitude, the disdain hidden in his eyes when he looked at them, the small movement of raising his eyebrows and twitching when being insulted, as if everything around him was an illusion, and only he was real. If you are next to him, all your sense of existence and all your actions will become weakened and foiled. If you walk on the street, it may not cause any sensation, and even not many people will turn around, but no one will forget his attitude. The feeling of encountering fate in a trance will never be forgotten. That is a "reality" that is different from any aggressive charm.
It's more of an infectious disease than beauty.
A supernatural infectious disease that can be spread simply by witnessing it.
If he really unleashes his abilities, the world will be filled with the poison of conflict.
That shouldn't be Holy Light, right? That kind of person shouldn't be there, right? It should be something opposite. Rather than saying it's the light, it's more like the person who took the light away. What on earth was Holy Light thinking of using such a person as a bodyguard? Why did he do such an outrageous thing?
Is he dissatisfied with us? Because they are civilian idols, they are not as good as those trained idols? So they plan to use this method to drive them away? No, it's impossible. It's because of the Holy Light, so it can't be a conspiracy. It's just that he is a general with outstanding military achievements, and he happened to come here to help them. That's the only reason, there won't be anything else.
"...But this is really infuriating." The girl couldn't help but feel a little angry with herself.
Inadvertently, people compared it to...
If this person exists, then I will be unhappy all my life.
Living in this world full of inferiority, how can I be happy when I see someone who is so perfect and surpasses me? Is my happiness just something that others just throw away?
"No... I have to show my best to my fans..."
It's not okay to feel sorry for yourself.
If people see you like this, you are not worthy of being an idol. Even if you don't like the dream maker, you still have to be responsible for others.
Looking at her face in the mirror, which had been distorted at some point, the girl sighed, took the makeup touch-up water and patted it on her face. After confirming that the last wrinkles were gone, she breathed a sigh of relief. After closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Vanilla opened the door and showed a business smile.
"Okay, I'm out."
"Ah, you finally came out. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Then let’s go quickly .
However, what made the girl unbelievable was that at the door of the dressing room, the figure in a white robe gave her a friendly smile.
