[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

24# Broken Dreams

The match between Haichang High School and Tonghuang Academy fell into fierce competition from the very beginning.It kicked off with the fierce competition between Ryota Kise and Daiki Aomine.The entire stadium fell into an extremely tense rhythm at the beginning, and even Lu Sheng in the auditorium couldn't help but tighten his breath.

Mana unconsciously grasped the railing tightly.

"Come on, Mr. Liang." She murmured, "Stop Mr. Qingfeng here, don't lose."

"Are you worried about the two of them?" Lu Sheng asked.

Nana nodded slightly.

"Ryota-kun, it seems that I have realized where my problem is. But Aomine-kun hasn't." Mana smiled bitterly, "It seems that friends can easily become that kind of relationship. We used to work hard together, but in the end we became rivals. .No, and it shouldn’t be said that in the end, competition exists from the very beginning, whether we or they are both partners and rivals from the very beginning.”

"Aomine-kun is exactly the same as Aoi at that time." Mana sighed softly, "... You can't let Aomine-kun go on like this. But you can't wake him up with words. Ah Zhe didn't stop him, Ryo It's fine for Taijun to stop him... as long as he wins against Lord Qingfeng, he can come back from the wrong path. After all, they are a little luckier than us, and there is no interest involved, just a pure dispute of ideas."

Mana's water-blue eyes quietly looked at the court.

"...At first, I thought that it would be all right if I beat Aoi. When I couldn't convince her, it was enough to let her understand with the facts. As a result, from that day on, Aoi seemed to see nothing but beating me. .Although there is a reason for Mr. Xun to push her down, but in the final analysis, I was the one who pushed her down with my own hands."

Mana smiled wryly.

"Lu Shengjun asked me, what happened to the matter of 'voting to determine the position'?"

Lu Sheng heard her voice, it was so low.

"At first, I proposed it." Mana said.

"Of course, in the beginning, it wasn't votes that decided where to stand. It was two people who went to the fan show together. After dressing up, they sang at the two booths to compete. The plan we agreed on was as simple as that. Concealing our identities Let the audience decide who they like more."

Mana's eyes were so bitter.

"In the beginning, I just wanted to let Aoi know that music has no limits. Don't feel that there is no room for effort just because you can sing beautiful high notes. I just want to beat her with my singing and tell her that even me like this Anyone can beat her, she still has a lot of room for development, there are as many opponents in front of her as she wants, so don't relax, continue to work hard with us, let us sing better songs than now... I I just wanted to tell her about it."

Her hands tightened around the skirt.

"But Xun-kun knew about this. He brought many reporters that day, and he suddenly appeared at the end of our game..." Mana paused for breath, "I will never forget the look in Aoi's eyes at that time. No."

Lu Sheng could imagine that scene.

Countless lenses protrude like the eyes of a beast, approaching the two bewildered girls, the proud Aoi, watching her miserable defeat being captured by the crazy flash, at that moment she will reveal What kind of expression is self-evident.And seeing her best friend being humiliated because of herself in front of her, what kind of expression did Mana show at that moment?

She will probably try her best to hold Aoi's hand.But it will definitely be thrown away severely.

At that moment, the flash surrounding the two girls must have exploded with white light one after another, capturing Aoi's resentful and humiliated expression and Mana's bewildered expression into the camera lens.The hands of the two passed by in the air, and they never had a chance to hold each other again.

"After going back, Mr. Xun made that plan - votes determine the standing.

"In any case, the core of the band must be the person standing in the middle of both the concert and the CD cover. Mr. Xun put the votes of the three of us into the CD, and the CDs with different votes were distinguished by the color of the ridge— ——I am blue, Aoi is gold, and Erica is pink——fans bought the CD and mailed ballots to the company, and the number of ballots determines the order of standing.

"Xun-kun told us, 'make good use of this news', 'make your discord bigger,' 'you can vote for yourself to decide the fate of idols, those otaku must be very happy to pay'...our CDs sold five times as much. But things just got out of hand.”

Mana's fingers trembled slightly.

"I brought Aoi back from the forked road, but I pushed her onto a more twisted road with my own hands."

Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, then lightly patted Mana on the shoulder.

"That man named Xun Jun, who the hell is it?"

"He is Aoi's older brother, Kuga Kaoru. He is also the producer of bios." Mana said softly, "After graduating from high school, he ran away from home to join a punk band. It is said that he was a guitarist in ST for a while. Ichinose quit the band by coincidence. Later, he returned to his hometown because he was visiting Aoi, and then encountered the bankruptcy of Kuga’s family... Later, he stayed and became the producer of bios. When we entered Garia, he also entered Garia , but only responsible for bios."

"Obviously the elder brother, does he treat his younger sister like this?"

"Xun Jun... is a practical money supremacist. 'tule.thosewhohavethegoldmaketherules. (We follow the golden rule, those who have the gold make the rules)' he often said so. For him, getting the money is the most real Yes, everything else is meaningless. He uses this standard to demand himself and Aoi.

"For him, everything can be consumed, including himself. When we first debuted, he even sold his own past to reporters and asked them to edit it to hype the topic. At that time, there were many fierce fans who surrounded him. , wanting to save our 'poor girls from the control of the devil', and even wounded him and hospitalized him.

"Can you imagine? The first thing Mr. Xun did in the hospital was to call familiar reporters and ask them to hype this up, so as to make bios more famous. Even if he was interrupted for a while, He didn't delay his work with one hand, and he stayed up late in the hospital until three or four o'clock. How should I put it... Although the method is very problematic, no one can accuse Mr. Xun of not being careful."

Mana sighed softly.

"Mr. Xun...is a cruel adult after all. He doesn't allow us to live in the world of children, he doesn't believe in dreams, he only believes in money. To him, we are just tools to sell dreams, and use these tools to consume He made money from the hands of the former. Our dreams have long been trampled like that by him, and what is sold to the audience is just the bubble of the dream he made with it."

She quietly looked at the two teams on the court. The teenagers were sweating for their dreams, fighting with all their strength, without weighing or shrinking, they were so passionate and youthful.

"I'm really envious." Mana said softly, "They don't have to be trampled by interests to dream, and they won't become like us."

Mana lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow.

"so good."

she said with a smile.
