The World God Only Knows GS

"Miss Hoshino—"

(Oops,)

(Oops,)

(Oops.)

He was clearly aware of the alarm sound coming from the depths of his mind, but his body didn't listen.

"Guide," unable to escape the clean eyes of the person in front of her, all Dongyue can do is call the other person's name softly: "Qiwen..."

"Um,"

Holding Dongyue's hand very happily, Qiwen was much more energetic than usual.

"May I call Ms. Hoshino 'Fuyutsuki'?"

The smile of the beauty in white was like moonlight, bright and clean, soft and dreamy.However, it was this extremely beautiful smile that made Dongyue's blood tremble like it was about to freeze.

(cannot.)

(no.)

(Can't.)

"……Can."

What came out of his mouth was an affirmative voice that went against the results of his thinking.

Dongyue can be sure that nothing good will happen to him and Ogata Qiwen if they continue like this.

From the initial dinner for two to a walk after dinner, it quickly turned into a rest day where the two studied the progress of "Darkmoon" together, occasionally went to the movies, visited art exhibitions, and was invited to attend certain events or parties.

Unknowingly falling into the pace of Qiwen, Dongyue can neither refuse Qiwen's invitation, nor shake Kaiwen's hand to hold her, let alone keep Qiwen at a distance from herself.Dongyue, unable to say "no" to Qiwen, gradually became unable to count how many times she and Ogata Qiwen got along alone.

This is definitely not a good omen for Dongyue.

"I thought you'd be back later."

When Dongyue, who was sent back to the temporary residence by Qiwen, walked into her bedroom, Qiqi, who was lying on Dongyue's desk and looking at the computer screen, was lazily wagging her tail.

"...Hey, Kiki,"

Knowing that she was suspected of being pretentious by asking this question, Dongyue still wanted to hear what others had to say from an objective point of view.

"What do you think of me now?"

"The situation of being attacked."

The meat pad pressed the mouse, and double-clicked it twice with its sharp claws from time to time, and the mint-colored eyes reflected the strange and indifferent words of the reasoning-oriented word game screen.

"..."

Feeling exhausted by Kiki's very affirmative words.Although she doesn't want to admit it at all, Dongyue must say that Qiqi is right.

(If this continues, I will definitely—)

"Miss Hoshino. 』

The most annoying surname to be called with such a soft voice.

"Winter Moon. 』

That voice full of emotion makes it hard to breathe.

"...After the filming of "Darkmoon" is over, I have something to say to Fuyutsuki. 』

I don't want to guess what he wants to say, I hope everything is my own sentimentality and excess self-consciousness.

Closing her eyes, she opened them with such an aura that chills Qiqi's entire back, Dongyue said coldly, "Let's make it quick, Qiqi."

If it continues like this, it is inevitable that the person who attacks others will not be attacked by someone who is unexpectedly able to grasp the key points of attacking women.

(So ​​I have to get out of this job before things get like that.)

"We have delayed this work for too long."

The TV series "Darkmoon" is still filming.After successfully overcoming the inability to shape Jiayue's image, Tsuruga Ren returned to the crew and the entire crew was in excellent condition, and the shooting scene was even more enthusiastic than ever.

In order to match Lian's improvisational acting skills, Dongyue repeatedly changed the script.Knowing that she had caused a lot of trouble to Dongyue who was in charge of the script, Lian, who had apologized to all the staff, took the initiative to find Dongyue, and solemnly apologized to Dongyue alone.

Surprisingly, VG, which has been silent for several months, has made a strong comeback.As if on purpose, the release date of VG's new single collides with the release date of the new single that is not broken.The unbreakable new singles on the sales charts were suppressed at or below the second place, and the championship, which had always been within reach, seemed extremely far away to Shang at this moment.

"Can you imagine!? Those above me are those plagiarists who win by quantity!"

"I don't need to imagine, right? Isn't this a fait accompli? Just look at the rankings in this issue."

Sitting on the bed, leaning against the phone with her shoulders, and using the tablet with both hands free, Fuyutsuki answered the person on the other end of the phone.

"You really have no blood or tears. Ordinary humans should be comforting others at this time."

Hearing this, Dongyue asked back: "Did you call because you wanted to hear my comfort?"

"If that's the case, I'm sorry I still have work, so I won't accompany you." Dongyue said as she was about to hang up.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

"Ok?"

With a protracted nasal sound, Dongyue temporarily stopped the action of hanging up the phone.

"I--"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little hesitant.

"what?"

As if he had given up on pretending to be a cool and handsome man in front of Fuyutsuki, the person who was talking to Fuyutsuki, Buposhang, made a sighing voice: "...I hurt Kyoko's cheek today. .”

"I don't know what's wrong with me... the moment I heard Kyoko say that my status as a deity would be taken away, I couldn't control my body, so I did it to her—"

Lying on the sofa, Shang stretched out his hand, watching the light fall from his fingers.

Recalling the moment when he hurt Kyoko's cheek, Shang subconsciously frowned and closed his eyes.

"You're such a scumbag."

As expected, Dongyue's scolding came from the other end of the phone.

"You know Kyoko is an actress, but you still have the ability to hurt her face."

"...Well, I'm sorry."

He didn't make any excuses, and he didn't blame the provocative Kyoko or say "it was an accident". It was rare to apologize frankly.

"Apologize to the wrong person?"

Dongyue's tone of disgust was even worse.

However, this tone is not annoying.

Dongyue is upright, no matter when or where she will not favor Shang, let alone anyone else.Although she said she was subjective, in Shang's eyes, Dongyue was always objective.

Objective accusations, objective comments, and an objective look at the real Shang.

In front of Dongyue, you don't have to pretend to be that high-ranking popular idol, you can be a singer who just likes to sing.

"If you have time to ask me to be your confidant sister, why not apologize to the person who should apologize the most."

In front of Dongyue, Shang can discuss matters about Kyoko with Dongyue without any reservations.

Including the desire to possess Kyoko, including the unwillingness to admit that she has such a desire for Kyoko, including the apology for Kyoko, including the truth that she once said to Kyoko but was unable to say it no matter what.

——In front of Dongyue, there is nothing to hide.

"Now that the new song is not No.1, you have time to work, don't you? Go find Kyoko and apologize. Remember to kowtow on the ground to admit your mistake."

"I won't kowtow to the mere Kyoko to admit my mistake."

Negating the second half of Dongyue's sentence, but before speaking, he affirmed that he was going to apologize to Kyoko in person. Somehow, after talking with Dongyue, he felt a little relieved and smiled slightly.

"A dead duck with a hard mouth."

"I want you to manage."

Perhaps it was because the two had a very bad impression of each other at the beginning, because it was impossible to hate each other more, so they looked at each other with admiration after knowing more about each other.

Both parties have no intention of getting along with each other, but in fact, the relationship between the two is still deepening with a wonderful balance.

"You are unexpectedly a good woman. 』

After Shang sang in the street for the first time, looking at Dongyue's back, Shang couldn't help but speak.

The one who answered him was the back of Dongyue who seemed to find Shang's words quite boring.

"Of course, right? 』

The next day, Shang who came to the set to look for Kyoko caused a big commotion.Many people have witnessed the scene of Monk Kyoko throwing the ointment used to treat the wound around and falling into the opponent's hands, and Ren is one of them.

After that, Dongyue used some means to distract the others, so that Kyoko, who was changing and resting, and Lian, who was on standby, were in the same room.

"Is it my illusion? Ms. Hoshino."

Standing outside the lounge door, Lian's manager She Xingyi looked at Dongyue leaning against the wall next to the door.

"Mr. She's intuition is so keen, how could it be an illusion?"

In this regard, Dongyue reported with a half-smile expression.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time read the same message in each other's eyes: the person in front of them is a companion, a comrade-in-arms.

Hoshino Fuyutsuki and She Xingyi are both on the front line of matching Ren and Kyoko.

"It's time for Lian to play in 5 minutes."

"Mr. She will call Mr. Tsuruga again in 10 minutes. I can still win a few minutes."

The two looked at each other, She replaced Dongyue who was originally guarding the door of the lounge, and Dongyue left quickly.

"Mr. Tsuruga is a bit weird..."

(coming.)

Kyoko's words cheered up the tired Fuyutsuki.

After the filming of the TV series is over, Dongyue follows Kyoko to the Dharma House after using Kyoko as a shield to reject Qiwen's irresistible invitation.

At this time, Fuyutsuki and Kyoko, who had had dinner at the Dharma House, were having a girl conversation in Kyoko's room that was very suitable for their age.

"what happened?"

Dongyue pretended to ask casually.

"...today, in the lounge," Kyoko hesitated a little.

(Oh... it seems that there is progress.)

Before Kyoko lowered her head, Fuyutsuki saw the "girly expression".

"After I said 'please go slowly' to Mr. Tsuruga, Mr. Tsuruga—"

Kyoko lowered her head lower and lower, almost digging a hole in the ground like an ostrich at this moment and burying her head in it.

"after?"

Dongyue took a sip of tea, looking calm as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

"after……"

"Well, after?"

From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Kyoko's ears and neck were both red, and Dongyue guessed that the influence of exorcism had been further manifested.Because even Lian's amazing self-control is not at her command, it proves that Exorcist has grown to a certain extent or that Exorcist feels threatened.

"Mr. Tsuruga—"

"he?"

(In terms of time... a forced kiss?)

Seeing the flushed Kyoko staring at herself with moist eyes that were about to drip, Dongyue thought more than that.Unexpectedly, the next second Kyoko burst into tears.

"Mr. Tsuruga, he hugged me..."

To what extent do you want to be pure, child, no!How late is it going to be? !Can a hug make you cry? !So what will you do if Tsuruga Lian can't control herself to forcefully attack your overlord? !

There was a roar in her mind, and Dongyue felt that if an elder said to Kyoko, "The child grows from the cabbage", Kyoko would definitely believe that the child grew from the cabbage.

"Do you hate him so much?"

Kyoko opened her eyes wide with unintentional tears.

"Otherwise why do you cry because he hugged you?"

"...!"

Realizing her gaffe, Kyoko hastily wiped away her tears while shaking her head constantly.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"How could I hate Mr. Tsuruga?! Even if—"

Even if the whole world hates Mr. Tsuruga, I will not hate him.

The words were stuck in her throat, and Kyoko sat there stiffly because of the thoughts that ran through her mind.

(…?)

It's not sad, and it's not annoying.It's just that there seems to be some long-forgotten agitation gestating in the chest, and the depression makes people cry.

However, there is a voice in the bottom of my heart screaming desperately: "No!!"

Scenes of being betrayed by Shang emerged in front of my eyes one after another, and every "Declaration of Abandonment" that Shang once said echoed in my ears.

But what is "no"?

Kyoko's intuition told her that once she realized what this "no way" meant, she must have fallen into a "no way" situation.

"Kyoko,"

The handkerchief pressed Kyoko's cheek.The body temperature transmitted through the paper made Kyoko regain her lost souls.

"...?"

"Stop telling yourself 'I don't know' and 'I don't want to know'."

"Don't resist 'wondering' about it until you've figured out what you're about to know."

(Are you qualified to say such things to Kyoko?)

Dongyue also wanted to ask herself the same question.

(...No, Kyoko's situation is different from mine.)

(It is impossible for me to live in this world, but Kyoko must find her own happiness in this world.)

Trying to convince myself with such a reason, I finally found that I just wanted to escape the picture I didn't want to see.Dongyue could no longer preach to Kyoko.

RRR——

Just at this moment, Kyoko's mobile phone rang.Seeing Kyoko rushing to get her mobile phone, Dongyue knew that it would be Tsuruga Ren calling, and said, "I'm going to Karuizawa tomorrow, Kyoko needs to pack my luggage well."

"I go first."

"Ugh?"

Pointing to the vibrating phone in Kyoko's hand, Dongyue, who signaled Kyoko to answer the phone, picked up her bag and walked out of the room, and helped Kyoko close the door by the way.

(...)

Lowering her eyes, Dongyue knew that the day when she had to say goodbye to this world was getting closer.

On the other hand, Kyoko, who recognized that the person calling her was Ren just by saying "Good night, it's me", became a little nervous.

But rather than being nervous, the fact that Ren would call her made Kyoko more happy.

"...ah... no, I just care about you a little..."

The moment she heard Lian say this, Kyoko found her nose was so sore that she almost shed tears again.

(Huh……?)

Are you someone who cries so easily?

Why did I cry because of such a simple sentence?

"Have you got your luggage ready for tomorrow?"

"Did you forget to bring anything?"

"Have you checked again?"

(Always felt……)

So relieved.

It was as if all the pressure on my body disappeared at this moment, and my mood became lighter.

Even the previous urge to cry turned into a smile.

(I--)

The current self makes no sense at all.

Nothing makes sense to me right now.

"Most Miss?"

"Are you listening?"

I don't want to worry about the voice in my heart that shouts "No".I will no longer pay attention to the images of being dumped by Shang and Shang's "Declaration of Abandonment" that appear in front of my eyes and ears from time to time.

Kyoko smiled: "...Yes!"

It doesn't matter if you don't understand anything about your own feelings, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand anything about Tsuruga Ren.As long as I can hear his voice, as long as I talk to him like this, the dry and cracked pond in my heart will be nourished by the rain and dew little by little.

Even if the water in the pool cannot be filled for a long time, even if there may not be a day when the water in the pool can be filled, there is green life around the pool that is no longer dry.

(Without Mr. Tsuruga, I must have been lost.)

It is precisely because of meeting Tsuruga Ren that Mogami Kyoko is not just a person full of resentment, who has nothing but resentment.

(If it weren't for Mr. Tsuruga, I would never know how happy it is to act and be an actor.)

It was precisely because of meeting Tsuruga Ren that Mogami Kyoko knew for the first time in her life that there was still something she wanted to do and a dream she wanted to realize.

(It's all because of Mr. Tsuruga——)

Thank you, thank you.

Respect, respect.

Longing, yearning.

And on top of that—

The feeling of wanting to be closer to Ren than anyone else.

"...Miss Mogami?"

"Thank you for calling me, Mr. Tsuruga."

Filled with tenderness.

"Good night."

"Good night."
