Ren: ...?

Manager: Ren....? Why do you keep looking around?

Ren: ......

(Instead of replying, he walked over to a lamp post nearby...)

Ren: ...what are you doing?

???: Eeek...!

(An unfamiliar girl slowly peeked her head out at Ren.)

Manager: Oh...? Is it someone you know Ren?

Ren: No, not at all. Who are you?

Girl: ! So-so-sorry...! I....I just...
I, was watching TV....and saw Ren singing...and...the song....so great....
After hearing him sing...I really wanted to meet him so....

Ren: ...you liked my song....?

Girl: Yes, YES...! I really like it...!

Ren: .........
For what reason?

Girl: Oh a reason...?

Ren: Yeah, what reason.
You're not just saying you like it right? There must be a reason?

Girl: Be, because....I can't explain the exact reason...but...
When I'm listening...for some reason I feel encouraged...

Ren: Encouraged....?

Girl: Yes...! So....
For a long time now I've been sick....on my really bad days, I can't even come outside like this...
But, the moment I heard your song...I felt like you were saying...it's okay...be strong...
Even if there are hard times, it's okay....good days will come so be strong... Because of that I feel so encouraged.
So...I wanted to say thank you...

Ren: ......

Girl: Th-then, I should get going! Sorry for taking up your time...!

Manager: Uh, wait...!

*Pit pat pit pat...*

Manager: ...she left.

Ren: It's okay...?

Manager: Huh?

Ren: Even if there are hard times, it's okay....?
Good days will come, so be strong...?
...I've never sent out a message like that when I sang.

Manager: Uh....

Ren: Yet, she's saying that she likes my song.....
Is she totally ...misunderstanding something?
...I can't understand.

Manager: Ren.....

Ren: ...I'm going.

Manager: Hey, wait...!

(Moments later...)

Manager: ....Ren, It's almost your turn...

Ren: .....

Manager: Ren...?

Ren: ....I'll be back.

(Then Ren went up on stage and then stood still for a moment...)

Ren: ........
...it's okay.
....be strong.

Manager: Ren....!

(He started the song with the whisper, and it felt totally different.)

(Today, the song...was filled with a message...)

Ren: ...Manager.

Manager: Yeah...?

Ren: Did I....sing well?
I sang it..but I have no idea. I only know that it was different from before...

Manager: .......
...it's okay. Be strong, Ren.

Ren: ...!

Manager: I hope to continue to hear you sing in the future too.

Ren: ....hmmm.

(I don't know if it's okay for me to say this but...Ren has truly matured into a great singer.)

27. All part of becoming a star...

Chances: ☆☆
Basic Conditions: Singer level 10 and up
Location: Office
Repeat: Every 3 other days

Possible Scenario 1

???: Ah!...He is...!!

Touya: Huh?

Girl: Isn't that Touya? The new guy.

Girl: He's probably a look alike. There's no way a celebrity can go around like this.

Girl: No. He's not that popular so he can still go around...

Touya: Manager? I think those teenage girls recognize me.
(As Touya said, they are curious to see Touya.)
It's feels strange. I guess, this is what it's like to be a celebrity.

(Mood: +8 to +29)

 Possible Scenario 2

???: Ah!...He is...!!

Touya: Huh?

Neighbour: Isn't he that guy on TV? The stunning actor...

Neighbour: Yes, right, right. That's him! Looks just like him!
He looked sort of young on TV... But seeing him for real, he's just the right age!

Touya: Er... Orca, I think those ladies over there recognize my face.
(Perhaps you're right...)
So, this is what it's like to be a celebrity. You get attention wherever you go.

(Mood: +21 to +30)

Manager: What? About to collapse? Oh, no! Let's get some rest! Touya!!!

Touya: ...

Manager, you are not doing this on purpose, just to make my fan club suffer, are you?
