Fake Idols Escapes

—I don’t have a brother.

.

.

.

“You’re Child☆I’m Child☆”

.

It’s a small live concert but the fans are still desperately cheering me on.

The one who drew my attention the most was Tatsuyuki-san, the first member of my fan club.

.

.

A person who feels like an ideal older brother to me.

Must be nice.

.

.

I’m StarChild.

I’m an idol.

.

.

Before I knew it, I was already in high school.

I’m currently attending the [5th Gift Academy] a school dedicated to studying Gift.

I’m trying my best both as an idol and as a student here.

.

.

.

.

I get a lot of fan letters. They’re all saying [You will be my Oshi for life!], [You’re what I’m living for!] [You’re the best!].

I no longer have the time to read all of them but their feelings were conveyed to me.

.

.

Miko-san was all smiling saying [You’re going to keep growing! Man, my stocks are going up too].

Mom and grandma also said [We’re glad you get to become an idol], they’re happy for me.

They still can’t make peace with the fact that I have a Gift but it looks like they understand me.

.

.

LeafChild said [It’s too hard to keep up with you now!? Now that’s a good rival!]. She complained but she also cheered for my success.

.

.

Meanwhile, Tatsuyuki-san was smiling and said [It seems your [Feelings] are strong huh.]

He’s like an older brother who sometimes scolds me and gives kind words.

.

.

Their voices gave me power.

They’re my source of energy.

I want to make them all happy.

I want everyone to be happy.

.

I put that [Feeling] into StarChild’s songs.

I put that [Feeling] into StarChild’s words.

I put that [Feeling] into StarChild’s gestures.

.

.

At school, I’m the same old Hosokawa Seiko.

But I’m also the StarChild everyone looks up to.

.

.

Save for my brother……

.

.

Even still, my life is smooth sailing.

It’s a satisfying life.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Everyon~e, Thank you for supporting StarChil~d!”

.

.

[[YEAHHHHH]] Cheers rose in response to my words.

I’m tired, my voice is hoarse, and I’m all sweaty.

The make-up I applied is running because of all the sweat.

.

.

But my life is fulfilling.

.

.

I only use my Gift to switch between Hosokawa Seiko and StarChild.

.

.

.

.

.

To my mom in heaven!

Look!

Your daughter is leading such a happy life!

.

.

.

.

.

.

I’m thankful just for being alive!

.

It was at the end of that refreshing concert.

That I saw shocking news on TV.

.

.

It was a report of the death of a criminal Gift Holder.

My eyes were glued to the TV.

.

.

.

.

Eh…..?

That person…..

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It was the report of the death of the Gift Holder [Akechi Hideyori].

TLN: And it begins……6 chapters of pain………..
