Chapter 1614 Truth and Lies (I’m so bored that I exploded recently)
Actually, Ruby’s problem is very obvious, that is... she has been imitating Ai Hoshino.
Duanmu Huai knew this very well. After all, he was a fan of chasing stars since he was a baby, and he was tired of it.
In fact, the answer is also very standard. Just tell her, "Don''t imitate Ai Hoshino, just be yourself."
But reality is not so easy. Humans are just types that know they will do something wrong, but they will not stop there.
Not everyone can correct mistakes when they know their mistakes.
It’s easy to talk about it, but it’s not that easy to change it.
That''s why Duanmu Huai gave Ruby a dose of strong medicine.
He first found Kurokawa Akino - this ghost''s acting skills are indeed first-class. Ruby has been obsessed with Akino Hoshino since she was born, but in her imitation of Akino Hoshino, she was not as good as Kurokawa Akino who spent two nights of investigation information to interpret Akino Hoshino after being entrusted by Duanmu Huai.
Not only tone and movement, but even that sense of existence can be imitated. This is the most terrifying thing. When there is an enemy you can never defeat in front of you, what any wise person has to do is naturally change the track.
So Duanmu Huai took Ruby to the idol performance of the music festival and told her that idols are not the only way to go, and other idols are not replicas of Ai Hoshino.
So in the end, Ruby finally understood what she thought.
It’s not about becoming Ai Hoshino Ai, nor about surpassing Ai Hoshino, but about performing on stage with Ai Hoshino.
Then, what she has to do is very simple.
"Hey? Do Ruby want to change herself?"
MEM looked at Ruby in surprise, and the latter nodded.
"Well... I was a little confused before, whether it would be good to continue like this, but now I understand that my goal is not to be Ai Hoshino... I just want to be myself... the real self, so I want to change my image."
“………………”
Hearing Ruby''s words, MEM and Toyohama and Kasumi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh...you can just think about it."
"Yes, yes, you finally found this, and we were relieved."
"Why?"
Ruby looked surprised when they spoke.
"Did you find out long ago?"
"Well...this is of course, after all, we are moving together."
MEM scratched her cheek and said with a wry smile.
"We have seen it a long time ago. Ruby, you are obviously not just trying to be an idol, but imitating someone..."
"Then, why didn''t you remind me earlier?"
"Looking at your desperate look, we can''t say anything."
Fengbin and Xiang also answered the conversation at this time.
"Although I don''t know what the situation is, that person must be very important to you. This is not a topic that we can easily interrupt, nor is it a trivial matter like wearing the wrong clothes today. Although I have discussed with MEM, if you continue to be so distressed, we can only talk about it..."
"That''s it...!"
Hearing this, Ruby threw herself on the coffee table.
"Woooo... I would have said it earlier, I wouldn''t have been so badly dealt with by my sister..."
"elder sister?"
"Yes, I told my sister about my troubles, and then I was well prepared by her. Although it was a blessing for this, I finally saw clearly the way I was going, but this process is still... painful!"
After all, watching others in person is more like a mother than I do, and it was something I thought was absolutely impossible to do before. For Ruby, it was like witnessing the sun rising from the west with her own eyes, almost subverting common sense.
For Ruby, this hurts a lot more than spanking.
"Is Ruby''s sister an idol otakus?"
Fengbin Kazuka asked curiously.
"No, it should be said that my sister doesn''t like idols, and she also hates idol otakus, and even said, ''Idol otakus is a person with a problem with his brain''."
“Wow…this is really…”
Hearing this, MEM and the other two couldn''t speak for a while. After all, this is indeed common sense in the world. At least in the society, idol occupants are indeed... not serious.
"But even so, your sister still supports you as an idol?"
Fengbin and Xiang were somewhat surprised.
"I thought she would object."
"Well, my sister told me that you can do it if you want to... Speaking of which, it was beyond my expectations that she did not object."
Ruby scratched her head, but she soon came to her senses.
"Woo, forget it, I don''t understand what my sister is thinking anyway. Although I have to work hard, what should I do now? Just show myself to the fans directly?"
"Um…………"
Looking at Ruby who was distressed, MEM looked at Toyohama and Kasuga, and then MEM smiled and reached out and patted Ruby on the shoulder.
"Although it is also a way to show your true self to your fans, it does not mean that you should fully show your true self."
“???”
"This is how everyone does it."
Fengbin and Xiang also spread their hands.
"It''s too terrifying to fully show your true self in front of fans. What we do is just to show our side to fans. If we completely play a character that doesn''t match our own, it will only feel pain. But fully displaying ourselves will only be hurt. So everyone will only show some of it. Take me for example. Although everyone says I''m outspoken, I''m not talking nonsense, but I just speak a little sharper."
"But those fans are quite good at Xiao Xiangxiang''s style."
“Woo………”
MEM joked about Fengbin and Xiang, and then looked at Ruby.
"So, I am a fool, so it''s enough to play such a fool and funny role. My relationship with my fans should be said to be a bad friend. I joke with each other and laugh together. Although it''s annoying to harass text messages, it''s fine for the public to do this. After all, even if you are a friend, you can''t ask the other party to show everything in front of you."
"Well... I''m talking about it..."
Ruby carefully recorded the two of them, but soon hugged her head again. "But I still don''t know what to do. Even if I say I want to display it, how can I display it..."
At this moment, a hand was placed on Ruby''s head. She raised her head and saw MEM staring at her with a smile on her face. That is a gentle smile that is different from the usual energy-filled one.
“MEM?”
"Actually, I think it''s almost time."
“???”
Faced with MEM''s speech, Ruby, Fengbin and Xiang were a little confused.
"Isn''t B Komachi getting more and more popular now? Everyone is becoming more and more interested in us. I think the matter about me should not be hidden for long."
"ah…………"
Hearing this, the two remembered that unlike a genuine high school girl like themselves, MEM is already 25 years old, just under the banner of "professing himself JK".
"Actually, there are quite a few people who know about me, high school classmates and some staff members. After all, it is impossible to write fake information on the contract. If you continue like this, it is probably only a matter of time before my real age is exposed."
"Then.........Senior, are you planning to graduate?"
Ruby swallowed and looked at MEM uneasy. Although MEM is relatively old, it is true that they are quite at ease because of her care. Even though he looks younger, MEM is a real person in society. There are many times when they don’t know what to do, MEM will come forward and respond with a smile.
From this point of view, Ruby and Toyohama Kazuka still rely quite on MEM.
"Ha, how is that possible?"
However, the next moment MEM patted Ruby''s head with a smile.
"I tried my best to get to where I am now. Let me see how reliable adults deal with this kind of thing! Tonight, don''t forget to watch my live broadcast!"
“???”
Soon, at night, Ruby and Duanmu Huai also sat in front of the computer, looking at the MEM appearing in the camera.
"Good evening everyone. There is a major matter to be released today, and there is another thing that I have to apologize to you."
Staring at the camera, MEM seemed a little nervous, but she still spoke with a smile as usual.
"Actually, my MEM... is not twenty years old! I lied about my age! I''m so sorry!"
[Hey hey hey! ? 】
Faced with the sudden self-destruction of MEM, the audience who left the message was also quite surprised.
[Really and false? 】
[No wonder the memes I told are a bit old-fashioned]
[Why is the matter only announced now? 】
[If you don’t say anything, you can’t tell it! 】
"hehe."
Looking at everyone''s messages, MEM smiled bitterly.
"Because my dream is to become an idol, even if I am already doing YOUTUBER, I still can''t give up this dream. If I''m not young enough, everyone will definitely not accept such an idol. It is because of this idea that I can''t help but lie about my age."
"If you feel unforgivable, you can also cancel the following. You can say it on SNS. But it is thanks to this that I can do activities in B Komachi as the idol I once dreamed of. With all this, I am willing to accept my firm and other members by my side and let others continue to do this job. Now they are really happy, so..."
Speaking of this, MEM closed her eyes.
"I don''t want to hate myself. That once called myself JK, this is also my true thought."
Faced with the confession of MEM, the people who left the message also had different opinions.
[Can MEM already have a grandson? 】
[I''m still a little bit betrayed]
[It''s not just about quitting]
[Is it possible that MEM has the possibility of being a cute boy? 】
[But lying is lying]
[It''s okay if I didn''t cause trouble for the people around me...]
"Of course, I don''t think I can just talk to myself, so... in order to break up with the past, I want to challenge such a plan from today!"
As he spoke, MEM raised a big sign!
"YOUTUBERMEM has become the way to claim to be JD! This time, in order to obtain a false identity, they have to apply for college seriously! Until they succeed in the exam, they will never give up!"
[……Ha? 】
I have to say that even the audience thought it would be this kind of development.
[What the **** is this? 】
[Where did the tears just now go? It was obviously still very touching! 】
[I can''t understand it after seeing this]
[So can we call MEM sister head? 】
[Or call me aunt? 】
[Can you call me grandma MEM? 】
At first, someone in the message accused MEM of lying, but later it became a carnival for people. Everyone was willing to persecute MEM with the meme of unknown age, and MEM was also happy to play this self-abuse meme, and the atmosphere in the channel became cheerful for a while.
“So awesome…”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ruby couldn''t help but widen her eyes. She originally thought that once she exposed her true age, she would definitely get angry, and then be scolded and then retreated. Unexpectedly, MEM actually used this method - admitting that he was a lie, but he did not disclose his real age. He downplayed the matter through jokes, and finally minimized the impact of the matter.
"This is the social wisdom of adults, you have to learn more."
Duanmu Huai said as he reached out and touched Ruby''s head.
"It''s not that you want you to lie. After all, lies will always be exposed one day, and you don''t completely ask you to tell the truth. After all, the truth can hurt people. It''s not bad like MEM. She admitted that she lied about her age, but she didn''t tell the real age of the element that would be inflammatory. Instead, she has a way to advance and retreat. I know you want to be a real and unpretentious idol, but you also have to understand that truth and lies are not just a simple oppositional relationship. The gray area between the two is also very important."
"Um………"
Staring at the screen, Ruby nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand, sister."
