"Onee-chan, uwahhhhhhhh~"

Akari began to cry out loud in the living room. She didn't expect that her band had come to an end. Her dream was shattered and her heart felt cold. Now, she had to fulfill her promise to her sister. If you couldn't succeed in your band, you would have to put your studies first to get a stable job. It was not that Akane was a villainess or something. Akari knew that her sister dedicated the best for her. She couldn't complain because Akari allowed her to be in a band so that she could know clearly her level, the distance between reality and her dream.

"hah~, you remember your promise?"

Akane sighed and didn't know what to do. Today was busy with many things. The culprit brought to her many useless thoughts was sitting on the sofa and hugging the ungrateful bastard. The next time was the disbandment of her sister's band. She also was caught off guard by this unexpected development.

Akari sobbed as she nodded her head.

"I will study hard...hic~"

"That's right. At least you need a stable job first. For a Rock band, you can do it later in your free time"

Akane comforted her sister. After reading Suiri's lyrics, her blood for music was boiled once again as she had the urge to pick up her guitar to play. Those arrangements were addicted in her ears and her mind played it countless times. As expected of the composer of 'Zense' (Past life). She was surprised that this girl not only played well Japanese Musical Instruments and Piano but also had her hands in various fields of other musical instruments like Violin, Bass, and Drum. She was an overall musician.

Akari widened her eyes as if she heard something wrong. Was she really her sister? Akane knew how far her talent could reach so she convinced her to study hard first. The promise was born from here. After 'that incident', her sister avoided it as if allergy. Besides that, her sister once had an uncomfortable expression when she declared that she wanted to be in a band.

Akari forgot to continue to sell her miserable state and looked at her sister in disbelief.

"..."

"What are you looking at? Didn't I make it clear?"

Akane was puzzled. She felt a sense of deja vuu. If she was not wrong, Suiri girl once smiled and turned expressionless in a second. It was her sister's turn this time. Why didn't you sob? You just sobbed pitifully just now and stopped abruptly in the next second. How could I guard it?

"..."

Akari nodded as she remembered the 'last' words of her bandmates.

'It hasn't ended yet, Akari'. A male voice appeared in her mind. The lead singer of her band had told to her.

However, the question was how? How could she shine? She knew she didn't have any talents in music or any cheats like perfect pitch, or manipulative hands to play guitar at the professional level. She was useless. A hopeless person wandered around the Music World. She wanted to give up...But she was reluctant. She wished she had her sister's talent. A person who had once shined brightly under the colorful lights of the stage brought her name to the bigger world. Yet, unfortunately, the core member of the band had disputed with her and left the band. Although she had begun to 'hate' music, she was still listening to many genres in general.

Akari was puzzled because she didn't know the details of her sister's story. In addition, she didn't have the mood to stick her nose in. She curled up her knee and muttered.

"Ah, I'm so useless, let me disappear from the world"

"Oi, don't be so negative and declare suicide in front of your sister!!!"

Akane was furious by this girl's mindset. Although she was an Alpha with the attractive and manly appearance of a strong female, her personality was completely opposite to the shell outside.

"Hah~, everything is over~..."

"Let me be a dust in this cruel world~"

"Stop there! You Idiot!!"

Akane scolded angrily.

"Can you give me a face in front of my student?!!"

Akari was frozen as she realized at the moment that her family had an extra honorable guest visiting her home. As if a bolt of lightning struck right at her head. She felt that today, the world began to spread its malicious fang to her life. She not only lost her band but also her face in front of her favorite musician. 

'Did she think of me as a weirdo?'. Akari got panicked. Subconsciously, she let out a bocchi noise.

However, her eyes followed the direction of the sofa. The white-haired mixing blue color teenage girl was playing with Shiho innocently as she didn't notice the situation on her side. She felt lucky and worshipped Shiho as her savior.

'Shiho, thank you, you keep my face safe'. Akari was grateful for Shiho.

To be honest, in Akari's point of view, Suiri was some kind of gap-moe girl. The shell outside had a distant barrier equipped with the icy cold atmosphere that made others hard to intrude in her life. In contrast, behind that shell was just a little innocent girl who respected others and was sensible with mature thinking. Akari realized that she, an adult, was not on an equal footing with her. She was a shameful existence in the world. She wanted to dig a hole to hide her head.

So...She decided to stop sobbing and regain her dignity as an adult, but she realized the problem was that she didn't even have any dignity to lose anymore. She laid her body on the ground and rolled back & forth.

"..."

*Bocchi noise*

"You girl!!!"

Akane held her forehead as she felt powerless. And then, she looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

"Oh, it's already late"

On the other hand, Suiri had to pretend that she didn't see or hear anything. With that loud noise, who could not pay attention to that heroine? In the original plot, Akari was a true bocchi who had given up on music, but the hero's kindness had ignited her passion again. She had a delusion that the male protagonist had feelings for her because he spent so much on her.

In the real world, his behavior in the novel was suspicious in Suiri's view, because countless people needed help, who would have the mind to meddle with others' affairs? With his lifestyle, were you not worried that others would take advantage of you? Maybe this was a plot hole in 'Rhapsody under the Moonlight' (Tsukiakari no shita ni Boku no Rhapsody).

He stuck his nose in every affair. As long as something didn't meet his standard, he would correct it until he was satisfied. Those people who had received his help were some big shots. If she recalled correctly, it seemed to be so. All heroines in the novel had their unbelievable backgrounds. Although Himeki had lost her parents at an early age, her grandfather was still there for her at a later stage. As for the Shimori family, they had a positive reputation in Yokohama City as the reseller of many musical instruments from famous brands. It meant that all of them weren't normal daughters.

Suiri gave up those useless thoughts. She knew that she couldn't set the content of a certain fictional novel as a standard criterion to compare to this realistic but strange world. As for the plot, she chose to stay away from it but these recent events had indirectly dragged her into it.

Observing the little white ball smile satisfyingly under her hands, Suiri couldn't help but be proud of her techniques to pleasure this guy.

Out of the blue, Akari dragged out her electric guitar without plugging to play and sing pitifully her sad song.

"Wah, the world has abandoned me ♫ ♫ How can I achieve my dream in the future? ♫ ♫"

Suiri listened from the other side. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She obviously played so well now but on the stage, she made such an amateur mistake. In the original plot, she didn't know at all because the author just said that she was talentless. Suiri began to doubt this world more and more. How authentic it was to compare to the original one? Suiri was clueless.

Akane yelled out: "Stop girl, hah~"

Suiri watched Akari hugging her guitar and avoiding her stare. In the next second, Akari sped up and ran to her room.

"..."

Then, she turned to Suiri.

"Sorry, student Suiri, I let you see those shameful things....Today, that's it"

Suiri nodded her head.

"I've learned more about you now"

"And I will send you a Line message about your song"

"If it passes the plagiarism test, there will be no problem"

Akane explained several things about how it would be released. She intended to establish an exclusive channel for her Club. The profit would go to the pocket of Suiri more than 85% because she was the main core of this channel while the rest was the fee to maintain the club/band. If it were a live performance, the profit would be fairly shared with future members.

"Student Suiri, is there any question?"

Suiri shook her head.

"No"

"Meow~"

"..."

An unexpected voice reached Akane's ears.

"No, I don't ask you". Akane resentfully glared at Shiho. If the outsiders saw the picture, they would think that Shiho was Suiri's cat instead.

"Meow~ meow~". Shiho spoke his animal language but Akane felt that she was insulted by him just now. Unfortunately, she didn't have any evidence except for the smug look on his face.

Sasaki chose the timing to step in.

"Oujou-sama, the car has arrived"

"Um..."

Suiri bent herself to let Shiho step down reluctantly. He was also the same as her. He was reluctant to part with his newly special 'servant'. As if there was a love story happening inside the house. Sasaki clenched her fists and sent a deadly stare to this cat.

Suiri stood up and said.

"Akane-sensei, see you next week, and.."

"Send to Akari-nee-san my condolence and goodbye"

Akane nodded and sent her guests to the door.

A black famous but low-key car had already been waiting outside. After that, Akane waited for the figure of the car to vanish completely from the street which had been dyed black and decorated with many neon lights.

Akane finally let out a sigh.

"Sorry, student Suiri, I shouldn't have implicated you deeply with me"

"Your questions in the lyrics..."

"I can't give you an answer"

Her eyes were moist and a tear was forming under her eyes. She remembered her last incident.

She was a sinner!

"Because I don't have any qualifications"

---

Next week, Wednesday, Stardust Academy.

Everything had passed peacefully without any major accident. Suiri was still the same. She sat alone with a foreign literature book with a detective theme.

Everyone was doing their activities and they didn't even bother with Suiri. After associating with each other for 3 months, the classmate had already formed a circle of friends. Like the previous life, there were still 3 groups as always. The high-class predators, the middle-class castle, and the bottom prey.

In fact, Suiri didn't belong to any of them. However, the classmates had classified her as one of the high-class predators. Good appearance, excellent academic performance, huge background, and talented individual. Although her ability in sports was a little sucked, her classmates still subconsciously ignored it.

As long as you are beautiful, you will be forgiven.

There was a saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover'. Nevertheless, human nature was always the same. They still appreciated what fitted and was pleasing to their eyes. Especially, the teenagers hadn't matured yet and they would choose appearance as their priority. Hence, you couldn't blame them either because they were at the age of adolescence and society put them on a competitive system. They would compare themselves with others constantly. This was a cruel truth of human society.

If not, there would be neither sibling drama nor the existence of inferior complex disease in the psychology book, and the homicides due to jealousy would automatically disappear. Suiri wouldn't have gotten herself disposed of.

"Sui-chan, what're you reading?"

Charlotte, the heroine, had appeared near Suiri and constantly pestered her. She had been differentiated into Alpha yesterday. There was a faint scent of rose perfume that struck Suiri's nose. She wondered if it was the setting of the plot itself. Charlotte had gotten the nickname 'Rose Princess' before her differentiation. Yet, her pheromone was exactly the same as the nickname.

"The A.B.C murders of Agatha Christie"

To be honest, Suiri was surprised that the literature product and author were all as authentic as her previous life. She felt lucky because there were many things she hadn't experienced yet. She loved this second chance of the Death God.

"Woa, you read English book"

Like any residents of Japan, they were scumbags in English as if they were an alien language. The explanation was simple because the Japanese language and American/British languages used the singular different system in letters, vowels, and consonants. Unlike Suiri's peers, she had her cheat as a reincarnated or transmigrated person. Not only that, she had her both mothers to learn from them. Her mom Shiori was a monster because she majored 6 different languages while her other mom Natasha just had 3 languages.

"Um"

From Charlotte's point of view, she was sucked at English. She had the Japanese language as her mother's tongue so she found it hard to learn other languages. Luckily, she knew a little bit of French because her dad had taught her.

Charlotte muttered the title.

"De A.B.C de mudarasu?"

"..."

Suiri caught the sound and was stupid at the same time. Was this the heroine she knew in the novel?

"Shinonawa-san, are you really a top 2 student?"

Suiri was curious. How did this heroine achieve the top 2?

Charlotte's face turned red like a chilly pepper. She was in shame because her crush had looked down on her. However, why did she get so excited? Such a humiliating thing, why did she feel pleasure from it? Was there something wrong with her?

In fact, the answer was simple because she only focused on input skills such as reading and listening. The school tested them on paper, not people so she messed up with her output skills; especially, her speaking skills. The reason was that her brain hadn't gotten rid of the Japanese language system. Besides that, her parents once had wanted her to master everything so she had minimized the efficient time to learn other fields as well. Moreover, she had just been out of the leash to relax lately... All were just her excuses.

"If you can teach me...hehe~"

*Charlotte's Illusion*

Suiri was in the teacher's outfit as her voluptuous figure was exposed under the tightness of the outfit. Her eyes looked at Charlotte with a disgusting gaze.

"Student Charlotte, how many times do you have to study overtime with me?"

"I...I"

Suiri stopped her.

"Shut up!"

"If you can't pronounce correctly, you will get punished"

Suiri continued

"How can you pronounce this?"

Suiri used her stick to point at the words on the blackboard.

Charlotte tried hard to speak.

"A...i"

"Ro...vu"

"u"

Suiri's stern expression gradually turned into a wicked woman.

"Ara ara~, you're so hopeless~"

Suiri said in a seductive tone as she lifted Chalotte's chin.

"Do you want me to punish you that much? Huh~"

"Repeat after me, I ~love~ you"

"I LOVE YOU"

After that, lips met lips and Suiri taught Charlotte a lot.

"Gah!!!"

*End of illusion*

"Guehuehue~". Charlotte couldn't help but let out her somehow perverted smile.

"..."

Suiri didn't even know what was going on. Was there some joke that made her laugh? She was not a psychic who read other's minds at will. This heroine definitely had a problem. It was her hunch.

The next moment, she was caught off guard by a sudden yell.

"Hoshiyuki Suiriiiii!!!!"

The door of the classroom was opened aggressively by a woman who had her uniform with the 8th-grade design. The woman charged forward Suiri forcefully. 

Charlotte was also surprised by this sudden event as everyone in the class wanted to watch the new drama unfolding. She intended to cover for Suiri to protect her.

"You little vixen, how could you seduce my Tatsumi??!!!!"

*Bang*

A loud slap to the table in front of Suiri smashed her ears but she didn't have any emotional fluctuation. After all, everything had already been explained when this woman mentioned that name. Her expression didn't change at all. Her facial features didn't even move a little bit. 

She knew sooner or later, a situation like this would happen. Why did she have to record the process of the confession scene? Of course, it was there. She once was a man and knew that the beauty of 'Suiri' would cause trouble in her life. There was no joke that history had recorded many situations like the country that was destroyed by the beauty of a woman alone.

However, the difficult problem was how could she talk with the angry person when they almost lost their reasoning ability?

No one could speak for Suiri because they didn't know her situation inside or have enough intimacy to be her best friend.

But Charlotte wouldn't...

"Wait a minute, senpai, who are you?"

"Heh, not only did you seduce my Tatsumi but this Alpha as well, you slut"

"My name is Tenonji Miwako, the fiancee of Kunoe Tatsumi, remember me!!!"

She raised her hands as she tried to engage in a violent solution. Then, the voice of Tatsumi on the phone spoke out.

"Please, I don't want to engage with my fiancee at all. Please, be my fake girlfriend"

Miwako was stunned as she stopped her impulsive action immediately. She staggered back because she couldn't believe her ears.

"You fake it right? right?"

Obviously, the rumor that her fiancee confessed to a certain freshman and was chased away by Mio had spread wildly in the 8th grade. As his fiancee, how could Miwako be tolerated for wearing a green hat? Hence, she had inquired him. He said that it was Suiri's fault for seducing him with her body. At that time, she still had her filter of a lover and believed him wholeheartedly.

Now, what's this situation?

Suiri emotionlessly let out a cold voice.

"If you want a video, I will send it to you, Tenonji-senpai"

"I have expected that something like this would happen"

"I recorded it in advance for those misunderstanding situations like this"

"..."

"..."

Miwako was speechless. To be honest, this girl was quite smart. She blamed her impulsive action as she almost hurt the innocent one. Suiri also showed her model of camera. This model was steel-proof because you couldn't fake the video from its hardware in it. The tape was a one-sided recording. It meant you recorded and could only watch again so the video was impossible to be edited or deleted. Once it had been used up all the vacant memory, you had to replace other tape in it.

The classmates were also shocked by Suiri's operation. It was so realistic but effective at the same time.

As it turned out, the problem laid on the fiancee of this Tenonji-senpai.

"ah, I'm so sorry, student Hoshiyuki-san, it's me who was stupid in the first place"

"I will give you my compensation later after I break his third leg"

Miwako bowed her head to 90 degrees. A textbook posture of a Japanese was performed perfectly. Then, she ran away with her head in shame.

As for the fiancee of Tenonji Miwako, who knew what would happen after that?
