in a country like Japan Idols were in existence capable of mesmerizing everyone the embodiment of Brilliance dancing gorgeously to glamorous music they were genuine worshipper of their amazing appearance and work and now one of such being was living next to our main character Kazuki one day he was returning from his music school along with his Junior Cena who was also his very good friend Cena asks him if he finished his assignment that was given he was the only one she heard had not submitted it yet then Kazuki asks her what genre of music did she
admit for her assignment Cena replies in excitement that it was anime music is obvious she was very much in love with that genre and then he asks her why she was following him to his apartment Cena makes sad face and tells him that she does not want him to live on a cup of noodle again so she wanted to provide him some good cooked food of hers Kazuki replies that he was glad to hear that and he asks her again to tell him the truth about what she really wants Cena then tells him that she
wants him to help her in her studies as if she fails one more time any of her fundamental subjects then she will have to repeat the year there was no second chance for her this time Kazuki agrees and takes her for some shopping first it was shocking for him that she was scoring so well in the music but her academic performance was so bad then after the shopping was done they goes to his place and Cena tells Kazuki that every time she comes to that place it gives a creepy Vibe for some reason Kazuki tells
her that since he cannot count on his family for support he has to get by with such a cheap place but there had been talks of demolishing that place lately he was not happy to hear that he was hoping that the place would remain there until he graduates Cena asks him to come and stay at her house Kazuki replies that he knows it will cost him much more later on then while they were entering the apartment an enigmatic girl in Black specs Peaks on them Cena ignores her and enters inside Kazuki Waits there to see
what the girl was saying she asks Kazuki if the other girl was his girlfriend Kazuki laughs it off and replies that she was not that she does not have a girlfriend after hearing that much the girl slams the door and goes to her apartment right next to his Kazuki also gets inside his room and Cena puts the food in the refrigerator and then they together start studying just after a while Cena starts getting frustrated she was wondering why she was forced to study even in a music University Kazuki replies that she was no different to
other musicians when it comes to her academic catastrophes Cena tells him that he was exact opposite to her she blames him for her repetition of 2 years but still she was glad that she could help him in her ways Kazuki also replies that he was grateful for her help and would love to ask for more in the future she asks him again if he has finished his assignment Kazuki tells her that it has been 19 hours since he completed it then Kazuki turns on the television and they sees the idol group called true Mirage on
screen Cena tells Kazuki that she has not seen them for a while now they were off for a while but still they were the most influential Idol group of all she realizes that Kazuki always watches them she asks him if he was was a fan of them Kazuki tells her that he recently bought 10 copies of their latest single Cena tells him that his taste does not match his image then she asks him if he wanted any favor from her again without taking a second of time Kazuki replies that he likes the girl in the
center she was the best in the whole group she was tju mitsuki and was very talented Kazuki tells Cena to see how beautiful she was he was wondering how much practice she must have done to sing and dance that good the group was third in the chart so they were not far from being on the top Cena askk him again if he was done with his assignment Kazuki this time hands over his assignment to her Cena sees that it was actually done and asks him how did he sink it without humming or using a piano
he replies that he had a lot of free time while she was groaning Cena tells him that he was acting awfully weird that day she was sure that he will get a passing Mark with his assignment Kazuki was not sure if she was praising him or not Cena replies that she always Praises him then she asks him if he plays his piano at all anymore for a moment Kazuki does not speak anything and then he replies that he played his piano so much in the University that he got sick of it then Cena gets up
and thanks him for all his help that day and gets ready to leave Kazuki offers her a company but she refuses and tells him to not treat her like a damn child while leaving she tells him to give her a call whenever he wishes to eat something delicious she considers it his tutoring fee after she left Kazuki was still wondering about what she said he really was not playing the piano anymore then suddenly the next apartment girl Peaks at him again she calls him a bad boy for bringing over another girl to his house Kazuki
wonders what was her deal and her childish way of speaking the he ignores her and was about to get back to his apartment and then the girl calls him by his nickname and asks him to hear her Kazuki was shocked to know that she knows his nickname there was only one person who used to call him by that nickname then she finally removes her specks and reveals that it was none other than his childhood friend and neighbor mitsuki she tells Kazuki with a smile that f has made them neighbors again Kazuki invites her inside mitsuki
used to asks him to play piano all the time she used to dance whenever she was hearing him playing the piano because of only her Kazuki was also very excited to play it but now he was meeting her after a long time and she was acting a bit weird Kazuki makes some tea for her and asks her to have it mitsuki asks him why he was talking so formally with her her hands were trembling but she somehow picks up the teacup and starts drinking Kazuki recalls that she was ALS so panicking when she saw Cena
for the first time she used to react like that even before whenever he used to meet other girls she used to ask him the same question as well that wo was the girl he was talking to he wonders if it really mattered for a nationally recognized Idol like her he finally replies to her that Cena was his Junior at the music University and was like a little sister to him mitsuki was still staring at him he explains further that Cena has a talent for music but had no hope in studies and she also took care
of him many times as he was living alone he wanted to repay her so he was helping her with her studies so she does not have to repeat a year then Kazuki asks her what he was curious about he asks her why she moved to such a cheap place even after being an idol she replies with a smile that it was all to be neighbors with him again she was separated back then by the company that sponsored her as Idol but she had no interest in becoming an idol the last time they met was right
after she was scouted by her company it was before the debut so more than 3 years had passed he told told her back then that if she dislike moving out so much then she can chose to come back to him after reaching the top and becoming an idol he told her that they can be neighbors again when that happens but he never thought that she would take it so seriously she tells him that now that she has reached to the top she can have a marriage interview from him Kazuki freaks out and tells her to
calm down she apologizes him that their last single only reached the third spot in terms of ranking so she was still feeling like she was just a neighbor who happens to be an idol Kazuki tries to explain her that he was joking when he told her all that but mitsuki was looking like she was very serious about it all she tells him that she will definitely become the biggest Idol in all of Japan and then she will start living together with him Kazuki was wondering what she was thinking no matter how he looked at it
he came to the answer that the reason she became an idol was because of him even though he always supported her but he knew it was not possible then mitsuki asks him what was the matter is he was making a very stiff face her reply is that he was wondering if the mitsuki he was looking at and the mitsuki he looks at on screen were the same person or not he turns on the television and shows her that he was just watching her performance she starts telling him the stories of her rehearsals they were watching
an interview of hers where she was asked what comes to her mind when she hears the word Idol she replies to them that the youth that she and her friends created they serve as a medium to share that with all their supporters that was how she felt about it mitsuki was feeling like she said something very complicated there but it was all taught to her she was lying on kazuki's lap peacefully then the interviewer asked her why exactly she decided to become an idol the same question was asked by Kazuki as well in the television
mitsuki said something like it was a very common reason that she enjoyed dancing and singing she now tells Kazuki that she forgot the reason she started but Kazuki could remember that a long time ago he asked her the same question and she replied to him that Idols belongs to everyone but she only belonged to Kazuki he has observed that she has been giving a lot of effort lately she has been doing solo projects as well he wonders if living next to him was that important for her he was trying to convince himself that there must
be something else as well that was pushing her to work so hard and push past her limits mitsuki was already asleep on his lap she was so tired that she did not even think of returning to her own house for a moment Kazuki feels like it was normal but then he suddenly realizes that she was an idol he might come in the headline the next day if some body sees the scene he tries to wake her up and send her back but mitsuki was in deep Sleep Kazuki he was worried and was wondering what should
he do about it it was not any laughing matter at all it would be destructive for her image if she was caught like that he was brainstorming on what should he do if he should call her agency or should he call Cena he thinks of carrying her to her room himself but he remembers that mitsuki was disguised perfectly when she was peing on him it was probably for her experience with Paparazzi he wonders where would the paparazi would even hide he was feeling as if they were surrounded from all directions then mitsuki calls Kazuki and
sleep and mumbles that she did her best for him so now they both should do their best living together he realizes that she was right everyone could see the unrealistic efforts that she was putting in he was feeling like she did not change at all it was his same silly neighborhood friend who was just a bit more famous now he sleeps beside her that night the next day morning mitsuki takes a lot of pics of Kazuki while he was still asleep and was drooling she adds all those piics to her Kazuki folder it had been
3 years and 164 days since her last ENT she could see that he really had become an adult his skin had been a lot more healthier than before he recalls that when they were in the middle school she used to love dancing to the songs that he played with his piano she would make up lyrics to sing along to his Music kazuki's musician parents recognized his talent for music and when they started high school they forced him to spend every waking moment playing the piano and as the pressure mounted his smile disappeared forced to live
up to the unrealistic expectations of those around him he was shattered from inside he won the T cup and then stopped playing piano after that forever as he was the only participant there who played music that he had composed himself people regarded him as a child prodigy who would open up a new chapter in the University's history but mitsuki knew exactly when she saw her that it was his last performance with that performance he won the competition and got a scholarship and he stopped playing the piano after that she Pats him on his head and
recognizes all the sacrifices he made she answers him to the question he asked her the previous night about why she decided to become an idol the answer was that he seemed to be enjoying himself whenever he played the piano and thus she also sang and danced along and she wanted everyone to see how much fun they were having those were the happiest times of their lives she wonders if she could make him remember how much fun they used to have back then then he might start fooling around with the piano again she was blaming herself
for leaving his side otherwise it could have happened she wanted to be beside him if he ever play piano again that's why she was so determined to be with him and when they will start having fun again then she will share his music with the whole nation with her influence which she always wanted but to do this she needed to become the reigning top Idol of Japan but she was confident that she will do it then that day it was time for Kazuki to show his composition for the presentation in his music school he introduces
himself to the judges and Cena was also there cheering for him he sits on the chair in front of the piano and looks at it it had been a while since he played it for the last time after the presentation later Cena was shouting at him for Chang changing his song a day before she was also shocked on how he played the new song so perfectly even without any practice she was excited as well as pissed at him Kazuki explains the romantic story behind his play and tells her that he just felt like playing it
then Cena asks him if he was hungry he replies that he was going to the cafeteria Cena decides to tag along when they reaches there the whole place was really crowded with a lot of people for someone's concert Kazuki was refraining from entering inside but Cena pushes him inside through the door when they gets inside they sees user was also there Kazuki wishes her all the best and was leaving but she grabs him and forces him to stay she wanted him to listen to her performance she promises him that she will give him a special
seat and requests him to listen to her play for once th Kazuki and Cena agrees to go lucera starts performing and gives Cena and Kazuki a seat beside the stage which was not what they were expecting when she said special seat Cena was really pissed looking at her she tells Kazuki that user was still sour that he came second in the Entrance Test Kazuki tells her that the entrance test was about 3 years ago he also tells Cena to look at the number of people that were there to watch her they were huge then she
starts playing a powerful Melody which was expressed using her whole body on by one the notes piled on top of each other which created an overwhelming Atmosphere by the time Kazuki could realize even Cena was lost in it when the play ends everyone stands up and starts clapping for her it was a piece that portrays her as a heroine it was perfect for her confident and challenging Kazuki recalls that he used to be like that as well once Cena asks Kazuki if the melody she played was a piece for winning Kazuki agrees Kazuki was the
same he also loved playing such powerful music Cena asks him what was he doing then usra shows up and asks them if they admits defeat Kazuki replies humbly that she did nice usra starts bragging that she maintained a s+ skill rating for the past 3 years Kazuki admits that it was incredible as he always stays around a b or c grade she keeps bragging more about her achievements and Kazuki admits defeat then she was walking away and then stops to tell him that she will be going to Vienna to represent their University she tells him
that the Practical exam at the end of the term will be her last concert so she calls him to watch it at all costs Kazuki promises that he will user tells him to keep his promise and leaves then after the busy day at University Kazuki decides to return home he was also thinking that he has not seen mitsuki for quite some time when he gets to the stairs he was shocked to see mitsuki lying down there he rushes to her and asks her if she was okay he ask her manager number and also tries to
call a doctor and then mitsuki speaks up and tells him that her muscles were all hurting kizuki takes her to his room and asks her what happened he gives her a nice massage mitsuki was really enjoying a massage from his hands she tells him that it had been a while since she could go home early so she put more effort than usual and after getting there she failed to climb the stairs Kazuki tells her that her risk calculation also has not changed at all she was Reckless as always mitsuki tells him that it was not
a bad thing for her if she will get such care from him Kazuki replies that he does not feel too bad to take care of her if she was feeling happy about it he asks her if it would not be bad for her image if someone sees them like that and gets the wrong idea mitsuki replies that nobody would see them as they were inside the apartment and also she owned all the surrounding properties Kazuki was shocked to hear that but the only complex they could not buy was the one they were staying in it
was bought by a large corporation called kagari instruments company she remembers it and asks him if his Junior had the same name Kazuki replies that it was then Kazuki asks her if she was still doing well in music mitsuki thinks for a bit and then answers that one can have fun without winning as well but to truly have fun winning was a must that was where she was at the winners were always allowed to be selfish and they always gets better treatment than the others but if one makes winning their sole goal and end up
losing then he will break down and will quit she tells Kazuki that she has a lot of friends who had quit like that Kazuki thinks about it then he tells mitsuki that he has something he would like her to listen to he takes the curtain off the piano and touches it after a long time to fulfill the obsession which compelled him to play playing mechanically was the only way he could maintain his sanity but he was sure that if mitsuki will be by his side like earlier then he will be able to do it when
they were kids mitsuki used to show Kazuki some notes from his music notes book and then by just looking at it once Kazuki would play it he remembers that he was able to put quite a show back then he was trying to do the same now he recalls an old note he used to play and tries playing it again it was a piece he used to hate back then but now even that was so pleasant the rules were simple you start playing you start over again if you make a mistake you play the next note
if you do not make any mistake he used to get pressurized to win by him parents all the time back then mitsuki tells him that his piano was looking beautiful as always Kazuki blushes and looks at her he tells her that it has been while since he played it so he was not sure if he can still play it like before then she starts talking more about his notes and gave him a Carefree smile that blew away all the fear he had from his past 3 years he was telling her how to play a piano
and then she gets up and starts dancing on it Kazuki replies that it was impressive and close to her on television mitsuki freaks out and asks him if she was not what she looks like on screen Kazuki replies that he was still glad to witness it from So Close from a special seat then he checks on the time and sees that it was already very late and as per the apartment rules they were only allowed to play until a certain period of time mitsuki picks up her phone and calls her manager to ask him if
he can purchase the complex they were staying it by any means Kazuki stops her and tells her that it was not the problem mitsuki was not happy with it and starts making faces Kazuki promises her that he will let her listen more to it the next time he was also unsure about his current old piano which was a secondhand model and the keys were shaky mitsuki calls her manager again and asks him to bring a grand piano Kazuki tells her to stop doing that all the time she tells him that she will spend her every
last bit of money for him Kazuki replies that he will do something about it on his own and tells her not to worry so much she still insists that as he played so good for her that day she will take him to a place where he will be able to cheaply borrow a piano she tells him to consider it as a sign of gratitude Kazuki wonders if such a place even exists he was just a music student so he wonders if he would be allowed to borrow a nice piano mitsuki tells him that he will
surely get it mitsuki asks him if he does not want to do it with her Kazuki replies that he was not opposing to her idea at all mitsuki was happy to hear that and finalizes the upcoming Setter to head to that place then the next day at the cafeteria Cena was telling Kazuki about the new anime she was watching she was forcing him to watch it as well slowly slowly she was spoiling the whole story for him Kazuki tells her that her exams were coming but Cena was ignorant about it then that day Cena was
also about to perform on the stage Kazuki recalls that she also did an anime song the last time she goes to the stage and looks at Kazuki and then starts singing her motive was to become a songwriter but she lacked skill to sing very well but that night she sings so well that it was a powerful demonstration of will it was as if she was telling the world that she exists everyone in that Hall started clapping as though they were Charmed by her even though there were some critic to it Kazuki had to give her
a Ramen treat for what she did Cena was delighted to eat such delicious Ramen the shop owner asks her if she wants anything else as it was a treat from her senior Cena asks him to bring a kimchi fried rice bowl the shop owner was glad to do it Kazuki asks her why she chose his secret spot for the treat but as she did so well he did not really mind Cena was happy to hear him praising her so much and was ready to listen even more Kazuki pats on her head and tells her she
did a good job then they gets to know that the week's number one on the music chart was sasaka miky's play the shop owner was also surprised to hear hear that Kazuki sees that his favorite T was on third place he thinks of buying 10 CDs of her sasaka was playing a famous anime song she was being loved by all they were all discussing about all this and then a girl suddenly shows up there and asks Cena if she was the girl that performed at the Imperial College of Music Cena replies that she was the
one who performed at the Imperial College of Music then the girl asks her is very peculiar question she asks Cena if she was a virgin a man beside jur tells her that she asked the wrong question and apologizes to Cena the girl tells him that it was an important thing to know for her the guy tells her to tell Cena what she wanted to then the girl in mask tells Cena that she played so good that her heart was dancing out she keeps praising Cena for a while and then she asks her if she was
perusing a career in entertainment Cena thinks and replies that she just wants to add lyrics to kazuki's pieces with her best feelings she speaks of it in such a way that it sounds very important for her and everyone else the girl was very happy to hear that she tells Cena that she really wants to support her and asks her if she wants to express her outstanding charm as an idol or a singer songwriter Cena always wanted to get a chance like that so she apologizes Kazuki for her selfishness and tells her yes Kazuki does not
mind it he tells her that it was an honor and he was also happy for her then the girl in mask sees Kazuki and tells them that his face looks similar as well she asks Cena if he was her boyfriend Cena for some reason replies yes Kazuki asks Cena what was she saying but Cena was not even looking at him the girl pies her and tells her that if she has a boyfriend then she should pursue a different career then she removes her specks and mask and turns on the TV and they sees that she
was none other than sasaka Miku her manager tells her that she was exposing herself too much in the public sasaka replies to him that she was just giving some advice to a junior she was actually the lead member of the Misty Eyes she was the cutest member of the group which also had a rivalry with the cool Beauty group the true Mirage together with mitsu they had an industry-leading presence and were both highly recognized but in terms of fans and sales sasaka mikyo had the edge in terms of national level it was mitsuki but on
a global level it was her then the ramen shop owner tells Kazuki that sasaka was a graduate from the Imperial College he was very happy while telling them how much she liked his Ramen and tells them she used to sit in the very same seat they were sitting sasaka tells them that she was so busy that she could not attend much of the second half then Cena asks her what did she mean before when she said by doing something else sasaka replies that if she wants to become an idol then she cannot be someone else's
girlfriend it was as if anoshi has a lover then the fans will be sad she gives Cena three Idol lessons she tells her that she must follow three things if she wants to become the number one Idol firstly Idols do not poop secondly her body will belong to everyone and third and most important of all she must be a virgin Cena understands why she asked her if she was a virgin earlier s aaka tells her that c canot show anything improper to the world even if there was any she tells Cena that it surely was
old-fashioned and she was also taught the same way but it worked perfectly for her she and her fans now were willing to give everything to each other and her manager comes there and tells sasaka that it was time for them to head out sasaka gets pissed with her manager nakazaki and scolds him for always being so impatient then nakazaki realizes that he had not yet introduced himself to Cena and Kazuki unless he does so then sass seaka gives Cena her business card and tells her to contact her whenever she need her she promises Cena that
she will make her the number to very soon then true Mirage comes on the TV to perform sasaka before leaving tells them that true Mirage were also the same age that of Cena and were very good kids she was thinking that they will be the one leading the industry but right now she was not willing to hand over her spot that easily she wanted to fight for her fans Cena asks her how long she thinks she will be able to maintain her position she replies that as long as her name remains in the market she
will be on top only th with that she and her manager leaves Kazuki sees with his own two eyes what being a top Idol meant he asks Cena if she was not glad that she was approached by a major company and the topmost idol Cena asks him if he thinks that he should have accepted the offer then Kazuki also tells her that he has also made up his mind now then later that day Kazuki goes to the star planet music where mitsuki Works he was finally thinking to show his work to get a job there
it was a huge building and Kazuki was feeling way out of place that it was hurting him he realizes what a huge Star mitsuki had become he was feeling awkward and was wishing for mitsuki to come and meet him soon so that he will feel a little relieved then then suddenly a lady asks him if he has an appointment or something Kazuki freaks out and replies to her that he was waiting for someone he knows but the lady was even more surprised and asks him if he was Kazuki Kazuki replies yes and assumes if she
was mitsuki's manager then suddenly mitsuki comes out of the building and the manager grabs Kazuki and takes him to hide behind the bushes she tells him that she will explain everything later on Kazuki asks her why she was doing that she replies and tells shim that no matter what he cannot be out in the open mitsuki was right outside and was busy talking to someone the lady tells him that they have avoided the worst case scenario for now then she finally apologizes him for the suddenness and introduces herself as sharai Kumiko mitsuki's manager Kazuki simply
shows her mitsuki's messages where she was asking him where he was in a very loving manner Kimiko was shocked to see that he had her personal contact number Kazuki asks her what should he reply Tumo tells him to text her that he was fine and knows the way and that she should head inside for now and not to take a single step outside for some time Kazuki does what she said then Kumiko explains him that there was a reason she was hiding him there she tells him that they both know is a top secret about
kazuki's face that no one else do and exposing it outside would be not good for her image then they sees that as soon as mitsuki receives the reply from Kazuki her facial expressions changes she starts acting like a little baby and starts dancing she rushes inside the building as Kazuki had instructed her to and as soon as she enters the building her expression again changes to as it was before that is serious bold look even Kazuki was shocked to see it humo asks him if he understands it now humo feels like now she will have
to tell him everything everything about mitsuki's Kazuki deficiency Kazuki wonders what in the world it was Kumo tells him that as he just saw right in front of him a moment ago whenever mitsuki hears or speaks of his name she starts becoming pure and extremely childish in demeanor it was the extreme opposite of the cool Beauty type Idol image that she was supposed to maintain Kazuki was wanting to speak something in the middle of her explanation but Kumiko gets pissed and scolds him for interrupting her she tells him that what she was talking about was
very serious matter then she starts her story that a few years ago it was only her and the company boss and it was her duty to secure the future of the company by finding some talents for their group in search of them she went to a certain high school during a certain cultural Festival but it was not that easy to find someone with shining attributes a person with idol-like appearance was nowhere to be found she tries a lot and when she thought that everything was lost she saw a dancing Maiden in front of the crowd
she was an unpolished gem her dancing figure had exactly an idol-like atmosphere and she could not take her eyes off her mitsuki's dance fascinated the surrounding people as soon as Kumiko saw her she took immediate action to acquire her Kazuki tells her that it was when mitsuki pestered him to play some music because she wanted to dance Kimo asks him in surprise if he was also there now she realizes that there was a strange driving force behind mitsuki's dance that day that was pushing her and after that the boss and she visited mitsuki's house many
times mitsuki was not even aware that she could also become an idol Kazuki tells her that mitsuki that day hid behind his back so they could not even talk to her properly Kumiko was shocked to know that he was there as well and as they kept inquiring one day suddenly she came to them herself and told them that she wants to become an idol so that Kazuki and she can live together forever that was when Kazuki gets to know that she had the intention to becoming his neighbor from the beginning since she decided to become
an idol it was all for him humo and her boss did not know what she meant by that back then but they made a contract with her and entrusted the company's success to her but suddenly after one year something went wrong suddenly her Elegance was lost her smile was gone and their expert could not do anything about it they kept wondering what should they do and then one day she was curious about something it was a little before the weird things started happening she once went to her room to check if mitsuki was practicing well
and then she saw that mitsuki was looking at her phone and was telling everything that was happening in her life it was Kazuki she was talking to but there was no reply coming from the other side then Kumiko realized that she was not actually chatting or calling to Kazuki but she was talking to his pictures that made Kumiko feel uncomfortable after such weird incidents the boss of the company made a condition for mitsuki to let her use her smartphone only for a limited period of time but day after day the condition of mitsuki got more
and more severe she could neither dance nor sing like before and then Kumiko gave her smartphone back to her and just after looking at kazuki's picture once she came back to life again just as before so they started calling it Kazuki deficiency that was why the boss of the company took it seriously and permitted her to live near him Kazuki Now understand how she got to live in the apartment she wanted so easily the company was ready to go to any extent for their talent Kumiko tells him that mitsuki was a savior for their company
she saved them and made them famous so they just wanted to keep her safe under their care and give her all the support she need they helped her to live near him in an instant and after that she started performing good again Kazuki was surprised to see what extent mitsuki was going to be with him he now had a responsibility as well to not let her effort go to waste humo tells him that it would be a big help to them if he cooperates with them but before all that she wanted to ask him a
few questions they were standing right in front of mitsuki's dressing room chimo tells him that there was a whole different world behind the door that he was about to enter she tells him that they have prepared well for that but still he will have the option to turn back if he want as if he does not then he will lose his identity as an outsider forever Kazuki replies that it was too late for that he has been mitsuki's friend for a very long time and would do anything to support her to become the top Idol
he does not want mitsuki to perform poorly due to him and mitsuki also never cared about what the outside world thinks about her beside Kazuki Kimiko calls them both two peas in a pod and then Kumiko remembers and tells him another thing that mitsuki thinks that she can keep her affection towards him from everyone else then she knocks on the door and takes him inside she tells mitsuki that she has brought her a friend and tells her to keep the meat up short mitsuki without out looking at them replies that she was aware of that
then as soon as Kazuki enters in mitsuki changes in a flick of a second and becomes childish again humo asks her if she has any specific reason to invite kazuko there without any notice mitsuki tells her that kazuko was very skilled so she wanted the company to see him Kazuki was still shocked although Kumiko explained him everything in brief but still the personality Gap was too big mitsuki wanted to get him a piano and a studio humo was willing to help but she could not as the the accounting department was not willing to even though
he was her friend the fact that he had no relation to the company was still a big problem then Kumiko asks Kazuki to confirm if he was a student Kazuki replies and conforms her that he was a composing major from the Imperial College of Music Kumiko asks him if he was talking about the same College from where mitsuki came as well Kazuki replies that it was correct then Kumiko tells him that 3 years ago his college was added to their company's scouting list their boss suddenly recently said her to keep an eye on the Imperial
College of Music for new talents thus they were on the lookout and aside from usra they have not found anyone else notable yet and now they were finding Kazuki then mitsuki starts praising Kazuki that he was the best pianist in the world and makes perfect music she calls him the definition of perfection she starts loosing her mind standing beside him Kazuki Pats her on the head and tells Kumiko to excuse her for some time then Kumiko tells him that their company does have some other business with the Imperial College the company was also participating in
the college's last concert Festival Kazuki wonders which festival they were talking about and then he recalls user was also talking about her last concert in the college Festival Kimo tells him that the festival was a way for the high Achievers to receive a special slot to perform on a public stage and being judged by them and in the case any of them signs a contract with them they will be able to access their facilities if he was looking to borrow a studio and Equipment then it was the best shortcut for that then someone someone knocks
on the door and tells them that the children have arrived for the field trip Kumiko confirms it and then tells Kazuki and mitsuki that she needs to go immediately and leaves them alone then mitsuki tells Kazuki that she was thinking of helping him more than that but she could not Kazuki replies that he was happy with whatever help she did then she asks him if he wants to play the piano again Kazuki replies her honestly that he came all the way there so that he could play the piano then mitsuki shows him a key and
tells him that it was the studio key then she takes mits with him to the studio and tells the guard that she will return the key to the management office later on then the guard also mentions that some Kinder gardeners were visiting the office for a field trip that day he tells her to give them a good show if she meets them then they both enters into the studio Kazuki was looking at such a big Studio he could tell that the company went all in while designing the studio even though there were not much equipment
the amount of available space was making up for it mitsuki shows Kazuki the grand piano and tells him that she was ready and asked asks him to start playing then Kazuki bring out a music notebook from his back mitsuki recognizes it that it was notebook that he used to use back then she asks him if he wrote any new songs in it Kazuki replies that he did some mitsuki begs him to show all of his new songs she was Restless Kazuki agrees and wonders what should he play then all of a sudden he starts playing
a powerful note mitsuki rushes and grabs a microphone she was shocked that he was playing one of her recent songs that was just released last week she knew that he had had made all the arrangements the song was the slash of a thousand blades where a sword dance was performed with the mic at the start it sold well right after its release it surpassed all the previous records and sets new ones the primary reason for it were the Innovative performance produced by true Mirage with dancing is their strong point and also the solo part with
mitsuki Zora it was a beautiful thing to witness then Kumiko was busy in a call and after it she was searching for the kids who were there for the tour the guard asks her if she was looking for the kids and tells that they were all in the studio where mitsuki was practicing humo freaks out after hearing that the guard asks her if they were not supposed to see mitsuki performing with the student boys playing mitsuki and Kazuki were testing each other to see how good they both were mitsuki was so lost in the amazing
chores of Kazuki that she was feeling like she can dance to it forever Kazuki also wanted to keep playing for her then he hears some noise from outside the kids and a girl looking after them were right outside the room the kids were asking her if they can go in side to see the true Mirage the girl was trying to convince them to go back but they were not listening the girl explains them that mitsuki was inside and they should not disturb her while she was practicing then suddenly the door opens and the kid sees
mitsuki dancing they could not stop and rushes inside humo knew that it was a bad news C was rushing at the studio as fast as she could she was doubting that Kazuki might not be that good and that people might see them as lovers as they were alone inside a room she needed to stop the session as soon as possible when she finally reaches there and hears the song that was mitsuki singing she was moved by how amazing it was and it was all perfectly blending with kazuki's piano the kids were sitting and admiring her
the true Mirage always resonated with the fans she earlier thought that Kazuki was dangerous for mitsuki but now she was realizing that he might actually be the last piece that true Mirage needed they stopped playing and the kids and even their Sensei were touched the kid starts hoping in joy and asks them to do it one more time the Sensei tells Kazuki that she has been a fan of mitsuki since her debut Kazuki tells her to tell it directly to her the girl tells kazuko that she was just so precious that she could not look
directly at her so she was telling him instead Kazuki could relate to her then a little kid comes to him and asks him if he can play more piano he replies that he would love to but it was not possible at that moment his fingers were trembling and he was feeling like electricity was running through them that was what 3 years of not playing piano did to him but still he was glad that he did complete the song then he looks at mitsuki who was still dancing with the kids and wonders what kind of stamina
she had then the Sensei shows up and asks Kazuki who he was as she has never seen him in any event or fan books but then Kumiko shows up and interrupts them she asks the Sensei if she can keep everything that they saw their confidential the girl was very excited to see her and knew everything about her as well then she asks Kumiko why she wants to keep it confidential humo replies to her that it was because Kazuki was the newest performing musician of true marage later when Kazuki shows his notebook to Cena she did
not believe him again that he made an arrangement of Slash of a thousand blades within a week of its release there were no covers present of it online what she meant was that she had a hard time during exam because there were already so many Arrangements of rap years strike that she performed it was a super popular song that topped the chart she did not mean that true Mirage was not popular Kazuki tells her that he knows she does not mean that he tells her that the slash of thousand blades already had a great Melody
but MIT sui took it to a whole different level then he also tells her that he was selected as the penist of true Mirage when the sensei in the studio promised Kumo that she will keep it a secret that Kazuki was the new member of true Mirage Kazuki stands up on his own and swears that he will do his very best to improve the lady apologizes to him for entering in like that and ruining the secret Kazuki replies that it was nothing she promises him that she will keep it a secret she was now willing
to 20 more copies of the album she already had 50 then she looks at mitsuki and again turns away as she was shining so bright that she could not look at her when Kazuki got out of the studio he thought that it was a cover story for the Sensei but later while talking to Kumiko he gets to know that she was serious about it she tells him that he put a great performance and mitsuki started performing way more efficiently on his play she was affected by the affection of him she danced like she never did
before she asked Kazuki if you would like to join the true Mirage as their pists Kazuki really wanted mitsuki to reach the top of the idal world and to do that he knew he needs to be by her side he hated to say it but true Mirage had always stayed under the shadows of Misty Eyes even at that moment sasaka was entering the anime industry becoming more popular than ever before they needed to do something or else the Gap will become too wide Kimiko also knew that so she was hiring him someone who has amazing
skill in music composition and a unique presence on stage she tells him to put his skill to good use and rise to the top with true Mirage it had been a long time since Kazuki played piano seriously he almost forgot how to match someone else's Tempo in addition to how quick the tempo of that song was it really required him to maintain accuracy the whole time no matter how tired his fingers got he still wanted to keep playing and for the first time he felt joy in giving his all to play a piano he played
like that for his childhood friend's sake but at that moment he saw her as more than just childhood friend he tells Kimiko that if they truly want mitsuki to become the number one Idol then they will have to postpone everything else humo replies that they both were already on the same page it seems then he tells her another problem humo asks him what was it he replies that mitsuki was in his room just as always mitsuki wakes up and asks him who is it on the call Kazuki casually replies that it was a girl suddenly
mitsuki gets angry that he was talking to some other girl with a very scary look on her face she asks him what was she talking about Kazuki was trembling in fear and replies that it was just about work and nothing else humo also puts up up an act from the other side to let mitsuki hear that she was talking from some office then they hangs up the call and later after she was asleep again Kazuki calls Kumiko again and tells her that he cannot handle mitsuki's daily needs he was able to take care of her
during rehearsals in public appearances but there was not much he could do outside work humo tells him that when she was staying in the company's house they would have a whole team taking care of her chores and meals nothing major happened but there was a constant risk of a disaster to take place Kazuki could not think of anything that could go wrong so it was fine for him then Kumiko starts telling him all her problems one by one which he needed to take care of Kumiko asks him to check if her room was messy or
not he was the only one she could ask to he was like a lifesaver for them in case anything happens to mitsuki she tells him that mitsuki was extremely reluctant to rely on other people which was way she could also trust to someone she has some history with Kazuki replies that it was better than keeping all her problems to herself then he hangs the call and checks what mitsuki was doing she was still sleeping on his sofa he then wakes her up and tells her that Kumiko has appointed him as her personal manager so he
need to start by checking her room and asks her to join him she replies while still half sleeping that the key was in her butt pocket and asks him to take it out she hugs him and starts pulling him to sleep with her Kazuki recalls that she was like that since the middle school he realizes that he should have stopped pampering her from the beginning then he observes that she was smelling very sweet he tries to focus Fus on the job he controls his desires and somehow takes out the key from her pocket it was
harder than playing piano after 3 years bitsi was also thinking about the previous day she felt so good to dance again on kazuki's song she wanted to do it again she just knew that she waited years for it so she can wait some more time and she remembers what Kazuki said earlier as soon as she understands that he was telling he will go and check her room she gets up in shock and runs at him to stop him but it was already too late Kazuki was in her room room and it was really messy he
now gets it that earlier whenever he tried to enter her room her closet always looked like it was about to explode but without wasting any time Kazuki gets on work then mitsuki gets there and she was planning on cleaning her room later that night Kazuki smiles and looks at her and asks her if he can join her as well mitsuki makes some faces for a while and then gets inside to help him clean her room
