Flying over the bubble era

When the rainy season arrives, it will be misty and rainy for days.

After the "Word Magic" incident, Hamasaki Ayumi went out earlier than anyone else every day. He met Shinichi Iwahashi face to face and exchanged hurried greetings. The tit-for-tat confrontation that he had in the past disappeared.

Shinichi Iwahashi was a little surprised by the sudden change of attitude.

However, he was too busy every day to guess a girl's thoughts.

On the other hand, when staying with Akina Nakamori, this girl still behaved close and considerate towards Akina-san, whom she admired.

Akina Nakamori did not doubt Hamasaki's feelings for her, and she also felt the admiration and admiration from this girl. However, this girl seems unable to face Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori at the same time. Whenever Shinichi Iwahashi appears, this tenderness ends abruptly.

The girl's behavior made Akina Nakamori feel an indescribable sigh of relief. ...It was as if he acted like this on purpose in front of her!

Akina Nakamori was not so much angry at Ayumi Hamasaki for her actions that seemed to be deliberately targeted, but rather angry at this girl for looking down on her.

In the eyes of Shin Iwahashi, Hamasaki Ayumi is a blank sheet of paper waiting to be painted with color. What he said about "word magic" to Ayumi Hamasaki was just to guide her to transform her internal self-consumption into words that could be communicated to the outside world.

He has high hopes for Hamasaki, but he is also afraid of hurting her nature. However, the girl still doesn't realize this. Not only that, but he went on his own and headed in another direction.

Ayumi Hamasaki likes Akina Nakamori, and he feels extremely happy when he is in the same room with the woman he admires. However, if she wants to find her father's figure in Iwahashi Shinichi, Nakamori Akina's existence is like a cold wall separating her.

Ayumi Hamasaki has a crush on Akina Nakamori, and therefore also has a crush on Shinichi Iwahashi. But the reverse cannot be true.

Such a fierce conflict made the girl's emotions erratic. In front of Nakamori Akina, she sometimes showed attachment and sometimes showed provocation. To Shinichi Iwahashi, he sometimes showed rebelliousness and sometimes seemed docile.

But no matter how turbulent the girl's heart was, Shinichi Iwahashi remained indifferent to it.

Whether it's Hikaru Utada or Maiko Haruyama, Shinichi Iwahashi seems to have a gentle and tolerant heart for everyone. Hamasaki wanted to pursue something in him, but gradually felt at a loss, fearing that what she was pursuing was just an illusion.

She was helpless and wanted to escape.

In Tokyo, when she walked out of the door of Iwahashi's house, the only ones who accepted her with open arms were Ayako and her friends.

……

When Ayumi Hamasaki began to escape from the Iwahashi family, he was naturally attracted to Ayako.

He sarcastically called her a "weird", sometimes showing subtle contempt, but at all times, he always left a place for her by his side. Such Ayako is like Hamasaki's savior.

In other words, when Hamasaki wanted to fall, he should be greeted by someone like Ayako.

With Ayako and her friends, Hamasaki felt an uncontrolled freedom. I don’t know who I am, and I don’t care who I am. It's such a freedom to go wherever the wind goes.

Once free, man becomes energized. The kind of freedom you get is the kind of vitality you get. The restless factor of "bad girl" in Ayumi Hamasaki's body is finally ready to stir up in her body again.

The first time he came home late, Iwahashi Shinichi protected Hamasaki Ayumi in front of Nakamori Akina. This incident was like a lamp that flickered on and off, casting unstable light and shadow in the heart of the girl Hamasaki Ayumi, releasing an atmosphere that tempted her.

Maybe what aroused the restless factor in Hamasaki Ayumi was not the hanging out with Ayako, but that night, Iwahashi Shinichi was generous and gentle, protecting himself in front of Akina-san, and Iwahashi Shinichi handed it over, but was The "word magic" she lost.

Do words really have magic? The more Ayumi Hamasaki threw away what Shinichi Iwahashi handed over, the more he cared about what he said.

But these days, not only Shin Iwahashi goes out early in the morning and comes back late, but Akina Nakamori isn't at home much either. This new provocation is more like a girl having a carnival while the adults are not at home and there are no tigers in the mountains.

Ayumi Hamasaki was so immersed in hanging out with his bad friends that he even paid less attention to the other girl at home.

Utada Hikaru also seemed to have no interest in Hamasaki Ayumi.

……

Among the students in the art class, not many can truly become stars, but when a certain star becomes popular in the world, they are more sensitive than anyone else.

On this day, Hamasaki was sitting in the classroom, holding his chin in a daze out of boredom. Several female classmates in the same class who usually didn't talk much suddenly looked at her position, whispered and laughed a few times.

Ayumi Hamasaki was a little unhappy. He was tired of speaking ill of people behind their backs and hated being discussed in person. She picked up the pen and turned it around a few times impatiently. The pen fell to the table with a "clack" sound.

The female classmates who were whispering to her just now looked at each other. One of them suddenly came over and said, "Hamazaki-kun."

Someone came over to strike up a conversation, and Ayako, who was sitting in the corner, cast her gaze this way. But she waited patiently and had no intention of coming over.

Ayumi Hamasaki looked at the other person with an expression of "Is something wrong?"

The female classmate asked her: "Does Hamasaki-san know about Namie Amuro?"

"What?" Hamasaki was stunned for a moment.

The female classmate laughed. She explained to Hamasaki that Namie Amuro is the lead singer of a girl group called SUPER MONKEY'S. This group was discovered in Okinawa and has become very popular recently. As the core figure of the group, Namie Amuro, in addition to participating in group activities, is also an exclusive model for girls' fashion magazines.

"Amuro-chan has a small face and perfect body proportions..." The female classmate faced Ayumi Hamasaki and unfolded the magazine in her hand. In the photo on the inside page, a girl with wheat complexion and long straight hair has an aura that belies her age.

Hamasaki stared at Namie Amuro's photo, but heard her female classmate tell her: "We were talking just now, Hamasaki-san and Amuro-chan seem a bit similar."

Hamasaki was even more confused than before, "Do they look alike?" Even in terms of race, they don't look alike.

"It's about feeling." The female classmate showed a harmless smile, "Hamasaki-san has a small face and a beautiful forehead. She looks very suitable for being in a magazine..."

This is a compliment in person. Ayumi Hamasaki was a little embarrassed and muttered: "That's not the case."

The female classmates who seemed to be talking bad about her actually meant no harm.

Ayumi Hamasaki returned to a state of boredom, but Ayako came over at some point. This friend joked: "If Ayu-chan develops her entertainment activities properly, she might become an exclusive model for a magazine like Amuro-chan."

When her female classmate praised her, Hamasaki felt a little shy.

But when it was Ayako's turn to say these words, she suddenly felt rejected and unhappy: "I am myself."
