Chapter 1614 Truth and Lies (I’ve been so bored lately)

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

Duanmu Huai knew this very well. After all, he had been a fan of stars since he was a baby. He was tired of seeing it.

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

But the reality is that it is not that easy. Human beings are the type who know that they will make mistakes and will not stop there.

Not everyone has the ability to correct mistakes when they realize they are wrong.

It's easy to talk about it, but it's not that easy to change it.

That's why Duanmuhuai gave Ruby a strong dose of medicine.

He first found Kurokawa Akane - this ghost's acting skills are indeed top-notch. It is obvious that Ruby has been obsessed with Hoshino Ai since birth, but in terms of imitating Hoshino Ai, she is completely inferior to the one who just After being commissioned by Duanmu Huai, I spent two nights researching information to interpret Kurokawa Akane of Hoshino Ai.

Not only the tone and movement, but even the quality of presence can be imitated. This is the scariest part. When there is an enemy in front of you that you can never defeat, what any wise person has to do is Naturally, the track is changed.

So Duanmuhuai took Ruby to watch the idol performance at the music festival and told her that idols are not the only ones who follow the path of Hoshino Ai, and other idols are not copies of Hoshino Ai.

So in the end, Ruby finally understood what she was thinking.

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.

"Huh? Ruby, do you want to change yourself?"

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 become Hoshino Ai... I just want to be myself... my true self, so I want to change Change your image."

"…………"

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

"Huh... I wish you could think about it."

"Yes, yes, you finally discovered this, and we are relieved."

"Why?"

Ruby looked surprised at what the two said.

"Have you discovered it a long time ago?"

"Well... of course, we are doing activities together after all."

MEM scratched his cheek and said with a wry smile.

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

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

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

Toyohama Kazuka also answered 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, and it is not a trivial matter like you wearing the wrong clothes today. Although MEM and I also discussed it , if you continue to be so distressed, we can only fight to the end..."

"That's it...!"

Upon hearing this, Ruby threw herself on the coffee table.

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

"elder sister?"

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

After all, seeing someone act more like her own mother in person than herself, and this was something she thought was absolutely impossible. For Ruby, it was like watching the sun rise from the west, and it almost overturned her common sense. .

For Ruby, it hurt a lot more than a spanking.

"Is Ruby's sister an otaku?"

Toyohama Kazuka asked curiously.

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

"Wow...this is really..."

Hearing this, MEM and MEM 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 in becoming 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, I was surprised that she didn't object."

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

"Ugh, forget it. Anyway, I don't understand what my sister is thinking at all. Although I said I have to work hard, what should I do now? I just need to show myself to the fans frankly?"

"Um…………"

Seeing Ruby in distress, MEM and Toyohama Kazuka looked at each other, and then MEM smiled and reached out to pat Ruby on the shoulder.

"Although there is a way to show your true self to your fans, it doesn't mean you have to completely show your true self."

"???"

"That's what everyone does."

Toyohama Kazuka also spread her 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 my 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 to you. "

"Well...that's right..."

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 can 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 themselves, a genuine female high school student, 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 haven't given up on 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!"

While saying 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 **** 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? 】

At first, some people in the comments accused MEM of cheating, 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. For a while, the atmosphere in the channel also 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 - admitting that he had lied about his age, but did not announce his true age. He downplayed the incident through gags and jokes, and finally succeeded in minimizing the impact of the incident.

"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 important.”

"Um………"

Staring at the screen, Ruby nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand, sister."
