Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

Chapter 425 Awakening under the Starry Night

Main World, New Week

Summer has arrived. After a whole year, Xue and Xiao Mo put on Yuqiu's summer school uniform for the first time in a long time. It looks like a thin sweater over a white short-sleeved shirt, but is actually a fake two-piece summer school uniform.

After getting off the train, the two of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at Haneda, and then they happened to run into Aine who was walking towards them.

"Good morning~Aine."

"Aine, good morning~"

The two of them greeted Aine, who was stunned for a moment, her eyes becoming a little vague.

"Ah, good morning, Nana-san, Yuki-san. Um... last Friday, I'm so sorry..."

Aine still remembered that she ignored her cousin and senior last Friday, and an apologetic look appeared on her face.

In response to this, Xue and Xiao Mo smiled helplessly. Of course, they didn't care.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. You don't have to apologize to us~"

"Aine, what happened in RiNG that day? Can you tell me, your sister?"

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, the apology on Aiyin's face instantly turned into deep loss and gloom, which made Xue and Xiao Mo realize the seriousness of the situation.

“…It’s all over.”

Aiyin clenched her fists and whispered something in a low voice. Xue and Xiaomo were stunned. They didn't know what she meant.

With Nagasaki-san's departure as the trigger, has the band completely fallen apart?

"Is this so..."

"...Nana-san, Yuki-san, um, I'm leaving now. See you later!"

Aiyin forced herself to cheer up, picked up her schoolbag and quickly disappeared from their sight.

Watching Aiyin leave, Xue and Xiaomo looked at each other in silence. Now, even if they wanted to help, it would be difficult...

……

The day's classes passed and it was afternoon.

After school, Xue did not go home with Xiaomo as usual, but went to RiNG alone.

However, she did not come here for afternoon tea today, but had an appointment with Qian to meet here and go to the immersive planetarium in Sunshine City to watch the stars together. In other words, it was a date.

"Good afternoon, Akane~"

Xue waited for a while at the RiNG door, and our Qian arrived a little later.

"Good afternoon, Xue, you've been waiting for me for a long time, right?"

"No, no, I just got here not long ago, let's go~"

"Hmm~"

The two held hands and strolled leisurely on the streets of Ikebukuro. After a while, they arrived at their destination.

After getting their tickets and entering the Planetarium Theater, the two found the two adjacent seats corresponding to the ones on their tickets and lay down on their backs.

After a while, the lights in the theater went out with a click, and as the broadcast sounded, a gorgeous starry sky was projected out from the planetarium in the center of the theater.

Looking at the starry sky dome above her head, Qian unconsciously relaxed completely and immersed herself in it.

As for our Xue... to be honest, she didn't feel anything too special about it. After all, as a star god, she had already seen the real starry sky, and the projection of the planetarium was still a little lacking for her.

Of course, it has a different flavor compared to the real starry sky.

……

In the quiet theater and the beautiful projected starry sky, time passed by unknowingly.

The lights slowly came on. Qian, still reluctant to leave, stood up, stretched her slightly stiff body, and interlocked her fingers with Xue again.

"Akane, you really like stars~"

Looking at the genuinely happy expression on her lover's face, Xue sighed a little.

"Yes, when I was a kid and I was in a bad mood, I would sit alone in the yard and look at the stars."

"courtyard?"

Hearing this, Xue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She didn't remember that Qian's house had a yard?

"Oh, by the way, I haven't mentioned this to you, Xiaoxue, but before I started high school, I lived with my grandparents on a small island in the countryside."

"Is that so..." Xue nodded in understanding. She really didn't know about this.

"Let's not talk about this, Xiaoxue, I'm hungry~"

Qian hugged Xue's arm and began to act coquettishly and sweetly, to which Xue could only smile helplessly.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and eat."

The last part of the date is naturally to enjoy a delicious dinner together, but today, the two of them are not planning to eat out, but are going to go home together, and our Xue, who is an excellent cook, will cook for them herself.

The two turned around and planned to leave the planetarium, but two somewhat unexpected figures appeared in their sight.

"Xiaoxue, look at those two people..."

“…It’s Deng and Chuhua, right? Let’s follow them and see.”

"…Um."

As Deng's cousin, Qianke knows her little cousin's personality too well. After the team's bombing last Friday, she must be feeling extremely depressed and confused.

They activated the range-defying breath shielding together, and Xue and Qian followed Deng and Chuhua silently not far behind them, and followed them to the long steps of Sunshine City.

The absent-minded Deng almost missed the stairs, but fortunately Chuhua was quick to pull her back.

Seeing that the crisis was over and Xue dissipated the power that quietly emerged in her hands, Qian also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go and talk to Deng."

"Um"

After stopping to listen for a moment, Xue and Qian lifted the breath mask and walked towards Deng and Chuhua who were already sitting side by side on the steps chatting.

"Are you talking about the stars?"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Deng and Chuhua looked behind them together. After seeing that the people coming were Xue and Qian, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"...Akane-san, Tennouji-san?"

"Sister Qian, Sister Xue!"

Unlike Deng's doubts, Chuhua was actually happy after seeing Xue and Qian.

"Hello~"

"Good evening, both of you~"

Xue and Xiao Mo greeted each other and sat down on the two steps behind Deng and Chuhua.

"good evening!"

"...Good evening, Sister Qian, why are you...?"

Deng asked the question that was in his mind, and Xue and Qian smiled slightly at this.

"Is it possible that we were both in the planetarium just now?"

"Eh?"

"Is that so?"

After hearing Qian's words, Deng and Chuhua were stunned again. Is it such a coincidence?

"By the way, do you two know each other?"

Looking at her cousin and her godsister whom she had met on the island before, Qian couldn't help but feel curious about their relationship.

"No, today is also the first day we met."

"That's it..."

"...?"

Listening to the conversation between Chuhua and Qian, which seemed like old friends, a hint of curiosity appeared on Deng's face.

Why does my cousin seem to be very familiar with this strange girl who just helped me?

"Deng, you may not know this, but Chuhua is your cousin's godsister."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Deng and Chuhua both showed a look of shock on their faces. The former was because he heard that Chuhua was his cousin's godsister, while the latter was because he heard the word "cousin".

"Xiaochu, you heard it right. This child is my cousin."

Deng and Chuhua looked at each other. The former had not yet recovered, while the latter had quickly digested this slightly explosive news.

"So your name is Deng? My name is Sanjiao Chuhua, nice to meet you~"

In response to Chu Hua's self-introduction, Deng spoke slowly after a slight hesitation.

"...Takamatsu Touma, my name is."

"Hmm? This is..."

Xue picked up the green notebook next to Deng and a page that had been torn out of the notebook.

Seeing this, Qian and Chuhua also came over curiously.

Looking at the words written on this page that looked like both a recitation and lyrics, the three of them smiled in agreement.

“It’s so well written~”

“It’s just like the lyrics~”

"that…"

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Deng, Xue spoke softly while returning the notebook and the page to him.

“Sometimes, songs can touch people’s hearts better than written words.”

"If you can't express yourself, just sing to Aine and the others what's in your heart and everything you want to express."

A word awakened the dreamer. The lamp suddenly started and recalled some things that he had temporarily forgotten due to confusion.

Seeing Deng's reaction, Xue, Qian and Chuhua smiled at each other. They knew that the other party already understood what they should do next.
