Dream Star 22 My Radiance 8

Kasumi and Hamano-kun should be meeting now. So, she should guard over the gate. Hamano-kun, is reckless though, summoning a gate in the middle of the hallway. He could have gone inside his dressing room at the very least. Still, like this Kasumi will be happy. When Wataru told her what happened, she wanted nothing more than to rush over and help her friend. But, 'Only Hamano can help her.' Indeed, the main cause for this bullying is due to Kasumi's complex about her looks. But that only emerged due to what happened with Hamano-kun.

It's really complicated. But, she needs to confirm something.

"Yumeko-chan, what sort of person is Hamano-kun?"Lila asks.

"What sort of person. A womanizer?"

Lilas sweatdropped, hearing the girls response.

"A womanizer, but," Yumeko trails off, "He's a kind person?"

"A kind person?"

Yumeko nodded, she hears soft laughter escape the girl's lips a moment after.

"It's sort of a long story, do you mind?"

"It's okay, I like stories!"

Besides, she isn't just here to help senpai. Kasumi often said it before in the past. That she would be able to help Hamano-kun. Lila doesn't know exactly what she can do. But from the very start, there is something she has always been able to do better than anyone else.

___________________________________________________

It really did take, nearly all his strength to stop touching her. He wants to do more, but, time is up now. He wants to be with her longer but if Kasumi is gone any longer, she'll most likely get in trouble.

"Kasumi, the next time we meet ought to be 3 days from now,"

He's not saying this because of the limit on his powers too. It's simply because of her boyfriend, if they meet every day, it would be bad for her.

"No, I want it to be tomorrow !!"

He looks at her dumbfounded.

"But, you'll get tired."

"I--I have stamina too."

Is it just him or, Mikami walks over and touches her cheek. Just that mere touch, however, turned her face several shades of red. It's sort of funny. She was getting like this before too. But it's changed now. She's acting like a little kid, being so stubborn like this.

"Alright, but I have a shoot with Lilchan tomorrow. I don't know how long it will be if I'm here in an hour. You should go."

Although he observed work ethics today, the shooting tomorrow is much harder.

"If it's Lila, you'll be done quickly…Mikami, is Lila okay?"Kasumi worriedly asked.

"She seems more cheerful these days. But she still cries and wanders off a lot."

Kasumi slowly nodded and takes the bracelet of her hand.

"Can you give her this?"

"Sure."

"Also. "she takes out a plus.h.i.+e from her bag.

"Huh, it looks like Kiryu-san."

"I forgot to give it before she left. It won't do as a replacement, but she should be fine with this."

Well, that's true. Kasumi shyly presses her lips on his cheek, before bowing and exiting the s.p.a.ce. Mikami stands there dumb folded for a few minutes, before sinking to the ground. It really has been a long time since he saw her, so if she picked up any strange habits, or changed. He wouldn't know this time since s.h.i.+chiro isn't there with her. However, even when he had s.h.i.+chiro reporting, or when he could see her every day. He was never truly able to understand. Why, does she like him? Why does she deal with someone like him?

.

.

Although it's true he left the gate in a strange place. It wouldn't necessarily be found since not many people go to this floor and he set up a barrier. However, the moment he got out, he spotted midnight blue sitting on the bench. Mikami blinks and rubs his eyes, thinking he was just seeing things. But, sure enough, there she was. Teras.h.i.+ma Lila, aka, Kiku Ari now. Mikami walks over and gently touches her face, this girl really is mysterious. The moment he brought up that suggestion to Kouta, Mikami was surprised at his enthusiastic response. The only reason he suggested it was because he simply wanted to see Kasumi. To test exactly how important Teras.h.i.+ma Lila is. Kasumi has had many female friends in the past, but all of them were fake. He just wanted to test it, just like he did all the others.

Not only was he shown the strength of their friends.h.i.+p, and that she isn't like all the others.

He saw it.

Something like what he has. Right, at that moment, he met the girl's eyes and saw something familiar. Since it was only for a split second, he can't be sure. The girl stirs awake and he removes his hand, replacing it with the plus.h.i.+e.

"Wahhh!!!! A Kiryu plus.h.i.+e ~" Lila exclaims cheerfully.

She seems so pleased.

The girl's eyes were bright and seemed to illuminate in the moonlight corridor. "Hamano-kun, Hamano-kun! Do you know where senpai is now?"

Huh, senpai?

Mikami nodded despite his confusion.

"I want to surprise him!!!"

She really is a strange one. But, even he understands it. That there's something more to her than meets the eye.

.

.

So that's why he finds himself accompanying her. But, as expected she really doesn't fit in these places. On the way inside, he could clearly see many guys eyeing her. Even though he made sure she wore a dark cloak, with a hood that didn't show her face much. Everyone seemed to be drawn to her. If it weren't a place he had often visited alongside senpai in the past, he's pretty sure they would all pounce on her by now. It didn't take them long to find senpai. All, they really had to do was follow the area that had the most bystanders. Sure enough, when they did that, they found him. Senpai was heavily going at it with one of the bar women.

"Nnghh. ...nnhngh. Ah. Uh…"

Seeing Lilchan look away, he blinks. Ah.

"Not enough…grow your hair, make it longer. Shrink a bit so your 175cm…"

Dear oh dear senpai. But it's not just him, Mikami watches as the girl beside him face colour turn redder than a volcano. What a silly pair.

"M--me? Is he talking about me?"Lila stammers.

"Pretty sure he is."

The girl upon seeing him and then Lila frowns and leaves senpai before angrily walking away. Dear, oh dear senpai. If you don't care about anyone else but Lilchan now, is there any need to still see other girls? Sleepy, half dazed, senpai grabs Lilchan and pulls her towards him.

"This smell…uhh…"Haruka brushes his lips against the girls neck.

"S--senpai, um, um?!!"Lila exclaims, clearly fl.u.s.tered by senpais sudden actions.

"Nnnmmmgh? Ari?"

"S--surprise?"

"So dangerous."Haruka murmurs.

He agrees. Lilchan is too naive. After hearing its a bar, why did she still insist to come here? What's more, she even approached senpai, right after that.

"Senpai, Um, um,"Lila nervously replies.

"Have you eaten?"Haruka asked, concerned.

Lila shakes her head.

Mikami frowns slightly. She hasn't eaten? How long was she guarding the gate? She could have left, or even moved it. Perhaps, her condition is worse than they all think.

"I'll get you something to eat."

He bends down and kisses the girls lips.

Senpais gaze softens, as he murmurs against the girl's lips, "Be good."

Before swiftly leaving and heading over to the bar counter. Lila is shyly hiding her blus.h.i.+ng face with her blue hair. "Hamano-kun, is senpai always like this? With girls?"

"You've heard the rumours about him, haven't you? Those people spreading them aren't lying."
