LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 45 – After the Concert
Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796
I didn't want to sound overbearing, just like I usually do. For the most part, my plan has always been successful in the past until now, and this wasn't that different. Even though most of my plans were something based on my previous world, I was just tweaking it for a bit.
The B-Komachi concert was a huge success, and just like Ai promised, she sang the song made by me. Well, it was our plan anyway. Since at that moment, Ai would sing solo, which was the best moment to put Starlight to perform together with Ai as backup dancers, copying what Idolmaster did to Rin.
Of course, there was another reason to choose this moment: To promote Starlight and me simultaneously. I had confidence that I would be a success after Ai finished her solo part. There was a lot of music I could remember and write, but in the end, I settled on Ai's song to be an anime song from the previous world called My Dearest. It was a song by SuperCell. I thought that song was a really good song.
(E/D: It has been 11 years since Guilty Crown… I feel old.)
Ah, when I talked about My dearest… It made me remember what happened when I wrote that piece of song. I mean, I didn't know how Ai did it. But I thought it was such an easy guess that she knew about my conversation with Ichigo. This means she made him talk… and to be honest, Ichigo was very weak against Ai.
"Hm… I hear you're making songs for the new girls…" Ai said with such contrast within her smiling face and pleasant tone while her eyes told me another story.
"Hahaha… I was quite excited when I heard about the new girls and, to be honest, forgot about you, Mom… But it's fine. Ichigo already told me, and I already made one for you." I replied to her honestly since I didn't feel any good lying when dealing with Ai, who acted like this.
"Geez, I knew you were really smart… But just like I said before, if you try doing something. You need to tell me, okay? I don't want something to happen without me knowing anything again." Ai scolded me while she pinched my cheek with her two hands. It was quite painful but gentle at the same time. After what happened years ago, she kept meddling with everything that I was trying to do, and it looked like Miyako didn't keep any secret from Ai like in the past.
"Yes, Mom… I will be careful next time." Well, to be honest, it would be quick just to act like a good child. Ai nodded her head when she heard my answer, as if she was satisfied with my answer.
"Okay… So where is my song…?" Ai smiled in a rather good mood when she asked me those questions.
"Well, this is something I made for you, Mom…" I gave her the paper with the music on it.
"Hm, good… Ara—Ara— ‘My dearest’... Huhu… I wonder if this is what you thought of me when you wrote this…" Ai smiled happily with a satisfied face and, without hesitation, showered me with love. She kissed my cheek—right and left, even my forehead. Sometimes, I did think this kind of love was excessive. I mean, I didn't remember my mother in my previous life giving this kind of kisses and stuff like Ai. I always thought maybe it was because it's an anime world, so things like that are common. However, I guess my thinking wasn't right after all these years.
But at the same time, I was getting used to it and probably didn't think much of it other than enjoying what was happening. Yeah, I guess at this point, I've gotten immune and gone too far. I think I couldn't say that Ichigo went easy with everything Ai wanted since, in the past, I tried not to let her kiss me like this, and she showed such a painful, sad face that I immediately gave up and let her do anything she wanted…
Ultimately, I was like Ichigo, very weak on her, and spoiled Ai a lot. Yeah, I couldn't complain when he told Ai about our conversation.
Ah, it looks like I remembered the past too long…
Anyway, people were really surprised by the song Ai sang in the solo part…
Most people thought this part would be wholesome, where Ai sings a song made by a kid that saved her in the past. But what the people heard and saw was a banger song. It wasn't only the song; the dance was good too. The clip about Ai introducing the new idol group on the stage after the song was over was quite popular on the website.
After the solo part, Ai thanked her fans before talking much about me.
"Thanks, everybody!! Do you like the song? This is a song made by Aqua. Isn't it good? He is such a cute but talented child… *bla—bla—bla—* so you must cheer for him too, okay!!"
The crowd was excited and cheered for Ai and screamed my name too. Well, it was very well-known in the Ai fan group that I saved her from that hideous incident.
"Ah, by the way, about today's backup dancers… I invited them to come on stage this time—even though they're still new… All of you may know them already…"
"Oooooo" The crowd was excited as Ai introduced them individually.
"These girls are my first juniors. That's why I'm quite excited and told them to join me today… I helped them a lot with their training, too, right? Mem-cho…” Ai asked Mem-cho, who at this point had already changed her appearance the same as in the manga, blonde hair and blue eyes using a contact lens.
"Yes!! Ai-senpai was always nice to us. I'm so honored to be on stage with her!!!" She replied while looking very nervous.
"Is that so? I'm happy to hear that!! Ah, let's ask them what they thought of performing on stage?" Ai asked them, this time toward Sora, who was surprised and looked at their friend, Mem-cho and Rin, who nodded at her. It was as if they were communicating by telepathy before answering Ai's question at the same time.
"It was wonderful!!" They answered with such passion.
"I'm glad the three of you like to perform…. Ah, I hear your group already has a song, right?"
"Yes, our song was made by Aqua too…"
"Really? I can’t wait to hear that… Ah, you all— can’t wait to hear too, right!!?" Ai asked them before she changed her focus to the crowd, who immediately answered her with passion.
After the concert, Starlight's name, my name, and, of course, B-Komachi became top search trends. People were surprised and praised the song that I made. Although, of course, there were various negative comments about me, mainly that they couldn't believe a nine-year-old made the song and that it was all made by Strawberry Pro.
It was so natural for some people to think about a conspiracy to entertain themselves.
Even so, Starlight immediately blended into the documentary very well. They started to appear in the episode, even in the last episode of the documentary; they publicly showed their song made by me, Beat Eater.
It was so good that their song became viral and the number 1 hit on the charts. Their songs were great; they were a group that would be successful. People who deserve to be successful will eventually become successful, these are the words they say, but they can only say those words because they have become famous.
As their song became number 1— of course, my name was carried with their success too. Just like I thought there was a lot of praise and, at the same time, ridicule, and people said stuff like, 'There was no way a child made those songs, and the company made all of this up.'
Well, it was still quite manageable… until the news about the movie that I acted in and directed by Taishi had the screenwriter as Taishi himself and the co-writer myself.
After that news came out— the Japanese media went into an uproar.
If these were born of a genius or a fraud— or a fake driven by a company became a hot topic.
This time—My name was literally everywhere. For better or worse— I like this free advertisement since the movie will finally premiere soon.
