In fact, Ruby's problem is very obvious, that is... she has been imitating Hoshino Ai.

Duanmu Huai is very clear about this. After all, she has been a fanatic fan since she was a baby, and he is tired of it.

In fact, the answer is also very standard, just tell her "Don't imitate Hoshino Ai, just be yourself".

But in reality, it is not so easy. Human beings are the type that will not stop even if they know they will make mistakes.

Not everyone can correct their mistakes.

It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to really change.

So Duanmu Huai gave Ruby a strong dose of medicine.

He first found Kurokawa Akane - this ghost-possessed acting is indeed first-class. Obviously, Ruby has been obsessed with Hoshino Ai since she was born, but in imitating Hoshino Ai, she is completely inferior to Kurokawa Akane, who spent two nights investigating materials and interpreting Hoshino Ai after being commissioned by Duanmu Huai.

Not only the tone and movements, but even the sense of presence can be imitated. This is the most terrifying part. When there is an enemy that you can never defeat in front of you, what any wise person has to do is to change the track.

So Duanmu Huai took Ruby to watch the idol performance at the music festival and told her that idols are not the only way to be Hoshino Ai, and other idols are not copies of Hoshino Ai.

So in the end, Ruby finally understood her own ideas.

It is not to become Hoshino Ai, nor to surpass Hoshino Ai, but to perform on the stage with Hoshino Ai.

Then what she has to do next is very simple.

"Hey? Ruby wants 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 go on like this, but now I understand that my goal is not to become Hoshino Ai... I just want to be myself... the real me, so I want to change my image."

"…………………………"

Hearing Ruby's words, MEM and Fengbin Kazuka looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... I'm glad you can think it through."

"Yeah, yeah, you finally figured it out, and we're relieved."

"Huh?"

Facing the two people talking, Ruby was surprised.

"Have you figured it out a long time ago?"

"Well... Of course, after all, we're together."

MEM scratched his cheek and said with a wry smile.

"We've also figured it out a long time ago. Ruby, you obviously don't just want to be an idol, but you're imitating someone..."

"Then, why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"Looking at your desperate look, we can't say anything."

Toyohama Kazuka also spoke 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 we can easily interrupt, and it's not a trivial matter like you wore the wrong clothes today. Although MEM and I have discussed it, if you continue to be so distressed, we can only fight to say it..."

"Is that so...!"

Hearing this, Ruby threw her head on the coffee table.

"Wow... If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been beaten so badly by my sister..."

"Sister?"

"Yes, I told my sister about my troubles, and then she gave me a good beating. Although it is also thanks to this that I finally see the path I want to take, but the process is still very... painful!"

After all, seeing someone acting more like a real mother than herself, and it was something she thought was absolutely impossible before, for Ruby, it was like seeing the sun rise from the west with her own eyes, and almost overturned common sense.

For Ruby, this was much more painful than spanking.

"Is Ruby's sister an idol otaku?"

Toyohama Kazuka asked curiously.

"No, it should be said that my sister doesn't like idols, and she also hates idol otakus, and even said that 'idol otakus are all people with mental problems'."

"Wow... This is really... "

Hearing this, MEM and the others were speechless for a while. After all, this is indeed common sense in the world. At least in the eyes of society, idol otakus are indeed... not serious people.

"But even so, your sister still supports you to be an idol?"

Toyohama Kazuka was somewhat surprised.

"I thought she would object."

"Well, my sister told me that if you want to do it, just do it... Speaking of which, it was beyond my expectation that she didn't object."

Ruby scratched her head, but soon came to her senses.

"Oh, forget it. I don't understand what my sister is thinking anyway. Although I have to work hard, what should I do now? Can I just show myself to the fans?"

"Hmm......"

Looking at Ruby who was in distress, MEM and Fengbin Kazuka looked at each other, and then MEM smiled and reached out to pat Ruby's shoulder.

"Although showing the real self to fans is also a way, it doesn't mean that you have to show the real self completely."

"???"

"Everyone does this."

Fengbin Kazuka also spread his hands.

"It's too scary to completely show your true self in front of fans. All we do is to show one side of ourselves to fans. If we completely play a character that doesn't match ourselves, it will only feel painful. But it's completely Showing yourself will only hurt you, so everyone can only show part of it. Take me as an example. Although everyone says that I am outspoken, I don’t say anything regardless of the situation. I just know how to speak. Just a little bit sharper.”

"But those fans still like Xiao Xiangxiang's tricks."

“Woo………………”

MEM teased Toyohama Kazuka, then looked at Ruby.

"Me too, I'm an idiot, so it's enough to play such an idiot and funny character. The relationship between me and the fans can be said to be bad friends. We make fun of each other and laugh together, although there are also some harassing text messages that are very annoying. , But in front of the public, that’s all. After all, even if you are a friend, you can’t ask the other person to show everything in front of you. "

"Well...that's what I said..."

Ruby carefully recorded what the two said, but soon hugged her head again.

"But I still don't know what to do. Even if I say I want to show it, how do I show it..."

At this moment, a hand was placed on Ruby's head. She looked up and saw MEM looking at her with a smile. It was a gentle smile that was different from the usual energetic one.

"MEM?"

"Actually, I think it's almost time."

"???"

Faced with MEM's incoherent words, Ruby and Toyohama Kazuka were a little confused.

"Isn't B Komachi becoming more and more popular now? Everyone is becoming more and more interested in us. I think things about me can't be hidden for long."

"ah…………………"

After hearing this, the two of them remembered that unlike a real high school girl like themselves, MEM was already 25 years old and just called herself JK.

"Actually, there are quite a few people who know about me, including high school classmates and some staff. After all, it is impossible to write false information in the contract. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before my true age is exposed. ”

"Then...senior, do you plan to graduate?"

Ruby swallowed and looked at MEM uneasily. Although MEM is older, the two of them are actually quite at ease because of her care. Even though she looks relatively young, MEM is a real social person. There are many times when they don’t know what to do, MEM will respond with a smile.

From this point of view, Ruby and Toyohama Kazuka still rely on MEM.

"Ha, how is that possible?"

However, the next moment MEM smiled and patted Ruby on the head.

"I have worked hard to get where I am now. Let me show you how a reliable adult handles this kind of thing! Don't forget to watch my live broadcast tonight!"

"???"

Soon, at night, Ruby and Duanmuhuai also sat in front of the computer, looking at MEM who appeared in the camera.

"Good evening everyone, there is a major announcement to be made today, and there is one more thing I have to apologize to everyone for."

Staring at the camera, MEM seemed a little nervous, but he still spoke with his usual smile.

"Actually, I MEM... am not twenty years old! I lied about my age! I'm really sorry!"

【Hey hey hey! ? 】

Faced with MEM's sudden self-destruction, the viewers who left messages were also quite surprised.

[Real or false? 】

[No wonder the jokes mentioned are a bit old-fashioned]

[Why has it not been announced until now? 】

[It’s absolutely impossible to tell if you don’t say it! 】

"hehe."

Looking at everyone's messages, MEM smiled bitterly.

"Because my dream is to become an idol. Even though I am already a YouTuber, I still can't give up this dream. If you are not young enough, people will definitely not accept such an idol. It is because of this idea that I can't help but lied about his age.”

"If you feel it's unforgivable, you can unfollow me, or you can say whatever you want on SNS. But it's thanks to this that I can carry out activities as the idol I once dreamed of in B Komachi. I have people who know all this and are willing to accept it. My firm and other members are by my side and let me continue to do this job. Now I am really happy, so..."

At this point, MEM closed her eyes.

"I don't want to hate the person who once called myself JK. This is also my true thought."

Faced with MEM's confession, everyone who left a message also had different opinions.

[Could it be that MEM already has a grandson? 】

[I still feel a little bit betrayed]

[It’s better not to retire]

[Is it possible that MEM is a cute boy? 】

[But lying is lying]

[It’s okay if you don’t cause trouble to the people around you...]

"Of course, I don't think I can get away with just talking to myself, so...in order to make a break with the past, I want to challenge such a project from today on!"

As he said this, MEM held up a big sign!

"YOUTUBERMEM of unknown age has become a self-proclaimed JD! This time, in order to obtain a completely false identity, I have to seriously apply for college! I will never give up until I succeed in the exam!"

【…………Huh? 】

I have to say that even the audience expected this kind of development.

[What the hell is this? 】

[Where did the tears just go? It was obviously a very moving atmosphere! 】

[I can no longer understand what I see here]

[So can we call MEM Sister Tou? 】

[Or call me aunt? 】

[Can I call MEM grandma? 】

In the beginning, some people accused MEM of cheating in the comments, but later it became a carnival for fun people. Everyone used the unknown age joke to torture MEM, and MEM was also happy to play this self-abuse joke, and the atmosphere in the channel suddenly changed. Became cheerful.

"It's amazing..."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ruby couldn't help but widen her eyes. She originally thought that once her true age was revealed, she would definitely get angry, get scolded and then retire. Unexpectedly, MEM actually used this method - admitted that he had lied about his age, but did not announce his true age. He downplayed the matter through jokes and ultimately succeeded in minimizing the impact of the matter.

"This is the social wisdom of adults. You have to learn more."

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he reached out his hand and touched Ruby's head.

"I'm not asking you to lie. After all, lies will be exposed one day. I'm not asking you to tell the truth. After all, the truth can also hurt people. It's not bad like MEM. She admitted that she lied about her age, but she didn't say that she would. The real age that has been affected by the factors has a way to advance and retreat. I know you want to be a true and unpretentious idol, but you must also understand that truth and lies are not just a simple opposition, there is a gray area between them. It’s also very important.”

"Um……………"

Staring at the screen, Ruby nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand, sister."
