44 - The true identity of Kiyokawa Ayane ③

"Kiyokawa-san wore...... a wig?" (Kazuto)

"Yes. Were you surprised?" (Ayane)

I'm not surprised. Rather, I feel like I'm going to lose my mind.

If my grandfather, who's on the verge of the end of his life, had been here, he'd have immediately ascended to heaven.

"What the, what is the meaning of it――――?" (Kazuto)

Before I have time to ask, Kiyokawa removes the hairnet that keeps her natural hair together―――― then, a cute, fluffy bob perm descended on the head of the neat and tidy idol.　

That curly look is probably.............

"Can that hairstyle, be......?" (Kazuto)

"Yes, this was a natural perm." (Ayane)

"――――!" (Kazuto)

O-oh MY GOD.

This is a fact that will surely shock the public!

That Kiyokawa, who is famous as a neat and tidy idol and yet is also a young lady, has a natural perm!

......No, wait. I do remember something about it.

The other day, when I saw Kiyokawa after her bath, I had a strange feeling about her hair.

It was a wig, so she took it off when she took a bath. Now I understood.

"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, kay~"

"More to the point, I'm not rich." (Ayane)

"What?" (Kazuto)

"I'm extremely poor. I live in an apartment with my mother. My computer has extremely potato specs, and I've set the graphic settings on the Black Plains to the lowest possible." (Ayane)

"That's a d*mn lie! Kiyokawa-san is well-known as a young lady after all!" (Kazuto)

"It's just a matter of characterization. In the past, Star☆Mines wasn't selling well, so I had to resort to characterization." (Ayane)

"B-but even so......" (Kazuto)

"Then, let me ask you, have you ever seen the Kiyokawa family's mansion? You haven't, have you?" (Ayane)

".......I haven't, neither on TV, nor even on the Internet......." (Kazuto)

I've seen many scenes of Kiyokawa acting like a young lady, but I've never seen any scenes that support the fact that she is actually rich.

It was only when she told me that I realized it.

"In other words, my life was built on lies, so to speak, a masked life. This level of impression manipulation is just a piece of cake." (Ayane) (PTW/N: So this is the lore behind 'Masked☆Aaya'.)

Kiyokawa, with her calm facade, says something horrible.

I had been fooled by the image the public had given me and by her behavior.

No, surely I wasn't the only one who was fooled.

I can tell that by looking at Kiyokawa's classmates.

"Are you wearing a wig to create the character of a neat and tidy young lady?" (Kazuto)

"Yes. It's sad to say, but it's difficult for this natural perm to create the character of a neat and tidy young lady." (Ayane)

"I don't think so though......." (Kazuto)

"Then let me ask you, who looks more like a neat and tidy young lady...... the earlier me or the current me?" (Ayane)

"......" (Kazuto)

It's clearly the earlier half-up.

Perhaps realizing the answer from my silence, Kiyokawa smiles resignedly.

It's not that I'm making fun of her current hairstyle. It's just the gap was way too great.

"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, kay~"

"Besides, I didn't originally want to be an idol, I actually wanted to be a novelist." (Ayane)

"You're kidding, aren't you?" (Kazuto)

"No, I'm dead serious. Actually, before I became an idol, I was extremely shy. I was a really dull girl who...... was forgotten by my classmates." (Ayane)

She didn't look like that at all.

However, it is a fact that some of the most successful figures who appear on TV have a history of being bullied or being a loner. Kiyokawa seems to be one of them.

"That's probably why I loved novels that allowed me to enter a world of my own. However, when I was enthusiastically solicited by Senior Nana, I had no choice but to accede to her demands and turned to the path of an idol." (Ayane)

Shocking facts are revealed one after another.

Is this, something I'm allowed to know?

"But that doesn't mean I've given up on being a novelist. After I graduate from my idol career, I plan to make my debut as a glamorous novelist." (Ayane)

"I see. That sounds like a wonderful dream." (Kazuto)

"Thank you very much." (Ayane)

"What did the members of Star☆Mines say about your aspiration to become a novelist, Kiyokawa-san?" (Kazuto)

"They're very supportive. They are really kind people." (Ayane)

Kiyokawa responded, as she's smiling softly.

Just by looking at her warm expression, I can tell how well she got along with the other members of Star☆Mines.

"This is the true identity of Kiyokawa Ayane. Are you surprised?" (Ayane)

"Rather than I am surprised, I just can't believe it's real. Please give me some time to sort it out." (Kazuto)

~"(This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, kay~)"~

Let's see, first of all, Kiyokawa Ayane is a neat and tidy young lady idol who belongs to Star☆Mines.

And by her own admission, she has a troublesome personality, which has made her a bit of a loner at school.

Kiyokawa's hairstyle is a half-up, but it is actually a wig, and her real hairstyle is a cute natural perm.

She lies about being a young lady and has a poor family.

It was all an act of matter of characterization.

Originally, she was so shy that her classmates forgot her.

Her real dream is to be a novelist!

.......

.............

I thought that Rinka is the one with the widest gap among the idols.

But I'm wrong.

Kiyokawa Ayane has――――surpassed it greatly.

"Kiyokawa-san. Why did you confide so much truth to me?" (Kazuto)

"It's because I believe you. Senior Ayanokouji said with straight eyes that he wanted to be my friend. Also, Senior Ayanokouji's feelings for Senior Rinka are genuine....... In other words, he won't do anything that can bring Star☆Mines down. I thought about these things and decided that even if he knows my secret, he won't disclose it to the public." (Ayane)

Kiyokawa states her thoughts.

I don't know what to say, so I keep my mouth shut.

Not too long ago, we were having a silly conversation, but now we're having a serious one.

"What do you think, Senior Ayanokouji?" (Ayane)

"......What?" (Kazuto)

"I'm not a neat and tidy young lady. The real me is a shy and troublesome girl  with a tendency to nitpick." (Ayane)

"......" (Kazuto)

"Toward such me, would you like to be friends with me?" (Ayane)

When Kiyokawa asks me that, she seems somewhat frightened.......

It's as if she's asking me to accept her.

I can only imagine, but it must be hard to have friends leave you once you have made some.

After that experience, it was perhaps natural for Kiyokawa to feel intimidated by the idea of making friends.

If anything, she might be just nitpicking too much so people are keeping away from her. If she doesn't make friends, she won't have to experience the pain of being left by them.......

"Senior Ayanokouji?" (Ayane)

With a fragile smile on her face, Kiyokawa calls my name in a quiet tone.
