Chapter 58
"Run and chase with a thirsty heart."

"Sorry, I can't do anything for you."

"I want to share your pain."

"But you don't want that."

"Just to live purely, and never look back."

"With my back to you, I will leave."

“on the lonely rail”

……

……

In the dim and narrow concert hall, the stage was lit with lonely lights, and the girl's singing echoed.

Off the stage, the few spectators symbolically waved the light sticks in their hands.

Brighter than glow sticks is the light of mobile phones reflected on the audience's faces.

"Thank you everyone, we are happy Parfait."

The girls on the stage bowed, and the male audience standing in the foreground shouted their names loudly, which seemed extremely abrupt and funny in the unresponsive concert hall.

The girl smiled wearily, waved to them, and then walked off the stage with her guitar in her arms. She could actually sing, but the audience didn't seem to want her to continue singing.

Backstage in the lounge, the other bands were getting ready and no one was watching them.

Put the guitar back into an old one-shoulder guitar bag. The position of the shoulder strap has been slightly opened, and there are a few traces of friction and damage in some places on the surface.

In the corner of the locker room, he changed into casual clothes, picked up his sports bag, and didn't communicate with anyone.

Saying "Thanks for your hard work" symbolically, the band members didn't look at her, and said "hmm" perfunctorily, the girl didn't show any expression, put on her guitar bag, and left the Live House alone.

In Akihabara in July, the neon lights are flickering, and the wind blowing in the ears is slightly hot.

No matter how many times she experienced it, she still didn't like summer in Tokyo.

There are no stars in the big city, and the surrounding buildings seem to shine brighter than the stars in her memory.

It has been many years since she saw the stars, maybe she can see them in Tokyo, but she doesn't know when, she didn't even have the strength to look up at the stars.

Like a puppy abandoned on a rainy night, crawling in the dark alley, unable to make a weak bark.

On the huge screen of the building, the PV of the popular idol was played, and the shining girls were releasing their heat with all their strength.

Has nothing to do with her.

Walking alone on the streets of Akihabara, standing outside the cafe, a woman in a flamboyant maid outfit handed her a flyer with a smile on her face, with a weird mouthfeel of "meow" at the end.

Glancing at the plush cat ears on the top of the opponent's head, she reached out to take the flyer, and after walking a certain distance, crumpled the flyer into a ball and threw it into the empty trash can next to the vending machine.

Someone should take care of it.

she thought so.

When passing by a certain game center, I saw the poster of the claw machine pasted at the door, and the new five-pointed star doll was a new variety of her favorite series.

I took out my phone and checked the time. There is still some time before the tram stops, and I have saved a lot of money from part-time jobs. Let’s post after a long time.

With this in mind, the girl walked into the game center.

After wandering around the game center for half a circle, I finally found the claw machine with the five-pointed star doll. Someone was operating it. The girl who had a lot of experience in catching dolls shook her head when she saw the man's operation method.

Like him, even if you catch it overnight, you can't catch it.

She didn't plan to go up to talk to him, she was going to wait until the man gave up before going over.

The girl stood in the game center like this, and coldly dismissed a few fancy-dressed youths who came over to strike up a conversation, and it took a full 10 minutes.

However, the man in front of the claw machine didn't seem to give up at all.

Back and forth, about [-] or [-] times, maybe that person had been there for a long time before she came.

For the money you spend, you can probably buy a box and take it home.

What a weirdo.

People are still addicted to food, probably talking about such a guy.

She thought it would be her turn when he ran out of coins, but when she took a step closer and saw hundreds of coins on the claw machine, the girl fell into speechless silence.

If we continue to wait like this, we will not be able to catch up with the final call.

The uncle is going to play pachinko, don't you feel ashamed to grab the crane machine with a teenage girl?
She couldn't help but slander.

Although things like catching dolls can be done at any time, she can't let go of the aggrieved feeling that she can't get what she wants immediately.

She didn't yearn for that doll so much, but wanted to release the depression accumulated in her heart.

Finally, after the young man failed to grab the doll again, the girl couldn't stand anymore and walked over.

"Hey, uncle."

The man didn't seem to be able to hear her voice, so she had to poke his shoulder with her index finger.

When the young man turned around, he was not the bearded uncle he imagined. On the contrary, he was an extremely rare handsome guy with fair skin and good looks.

Even she was almost stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

He seems to have heard the phrase uncle.

Maybe a girl in her teens can hardly resist an adult man with such a face, but she is not the kind of girl who loves to dream, and she is very clear about the fact that appearance cannot judge a person's character.

Besides, I'm only 19 years old, and I'm still a minor from a legal point of view, so it's okay to call him an uncle.

"excuse me."

"what?"

"I come."

She is not good at communicating with people. If it weren't for the resentment in her heart, with her character, she should have gone home long ago.

Fortunately, the young man seemed to be easy to talk to. Although he looked like he didn't understand the situation, he still gave up his seat.

Put down the sports bag, pick up the two coins on the operating table, put them into the machine, the light bar on the frame of the claw machine flashes, and makes a lovely sound effect.

"Ah, that's my coin."

Ignoring the young man's voice, the girl waved her left hand back and forth expressionlessly, looked at the right moment, pressed down with her right hand without hesitation, and swung the hook inside the doll machine obliquely to drop it. With undoubted precision, the bright yellow five-pointed star doll Catch it tightly.

Crouch down and take out the five-pointed star doll from the drop opening.

"Give."

The young man stared blankly at the doll handed over by the girl, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The girl frowned slightly, put the doll on the console, turned and left without saying a word.

She did want the pentagram doll, but that was something she could do anytime, even if it wasn't today.

The pressure accumulated in her heart was released, and her goal had been achieved. As for the doll, it would not be too late to catch it again tomorrow.

Take the stress away and save you money, there's no better ending.

In this way, she can continue to work hard tomorrow.

Putting her hands in the pockets of the sweater, she walked out of the game center, and the girl walked towards the station.

However, just after walking a certain distance, she suddenly froze.

Looking down at his sweater, the pockets where his hands were inserted were slightly bulging.

"Ah... my gym bag."

 The story has officially entered the second volume "The Girl Who Chased the Stars", I hope you will like it.
