Chapter 906 My Beautiful Monster Part 7

MIYA

Nase Siena, one of Sumire's close friends. 'I only saw her from afar before, since Nase-san didn't attend the same school. But, it seemed Sumire talked about her plenty.' Miya didn't expect the girl to offer to help her adapt to the entertainment industry. She is thankful. Thanks to Nase-san's advice, she has learned what not to do.

"Nase, I really am not good with her. So I'm glad you're doing okay."

Seeing his odd expression Miya laughed. "Don't worry, I don't think she will be punching you again anytime soon."

"I think you should be worrying about yourself, not me." Shin suddenly said.

Huh?

Shin pointed towards the double doors, and there a man with golden blonde coloured hair strolled inside.

Tachibana Masaru.

What on earth is he doing here?

"He is the lead actor. The one who is playing the role opposite yours."

Wait, wait what?!!!!!!

Shin blinked. "Didn't you know? I thought that was why you were against it originally."

No, no, no she had no idea! Did Siena-san know? Is that why she persuaded her like that? Come to think of it, Siena-san did say something like 'it will be an interesting experience.' Damn it, she got tricked.

"I'm going to just--" Before Miya could stand up and leave. She hears a familiar voice behind her.

"Are you going to escape and not greet me Miss?"

Damn it.

Shin sighed deeply. "Why on earth are you even taking this job? Your status in the entertainment industry is directly below Yuhi's and M5. You don't need to do work like this."

"Perhaps there is something I am interested in here."

Despite Tachibana's casual words. Miya immediately understood the meaning. Damn it, he really is planning on making her life miserable. Since that day they have reunited. She has tried her best to avoid him. But, he keeps showing up wherever she goes.

"You shouldn't pay so much attention to Shizune. She is still a newbie. It's fine for me to be seen with her since I'm her senior in the same company, but you're not."

"What's this Shin-chan? I didn't think you'd get so attached to someone."

Her thoughts break off when Nakara suddenly said. "I left something behind in my dressing room. I'm sorry about this but could you go fetch it?"

Miya blinked but nodded as she scurried away. Was he trying to help her just then?

_________________

It was her childhood friend Tetsuo on the screen. Just recently she learned that he was a member of M5. Sumire's boyfriend's group. Coincidences really do happen. No, it's almost like fate was telling her to go find Sumire again and to make amends.

"How have you been coping Miya?" Tetsuo asked.

Miya sighed deeply. "You're right, the industry is complex."

"and your covering for Sumire. That definitely isn't easy for you."

"I managed before but thought it through. That was when Narasaki-san was popping in. He is really good at his job and people respect him. Since he stopped showing up, I'll admit I am having some problems."

Rather, it seemed like others found out about her connection with Sumire. So she has become a target. Nase-san however explained that 'the reason they are targeting you is because you're still new to the industry. Once you make a name for yourself they can't bully you. I remember when Nanairofeather was still new, Mikaze had to endure a lot of scrutinising from others. Show them your ability. Show them that you'll stick with Sumire no matter what they say.'

Miya understood what the girl was hinting at. It was an indirect warning not to blame Sumire. But Nase-san didn't have to do that. She isn't stupid. Miya already understood that she would get dragged into Sumire's situation sooner or later. She knew, and could have easily opted to join a company not related to Sumire. But she still chose Jupiter records. This is the path she chose, and she won't abandon her friend just to make her life easier.

"Is Nakura Shin not helping you?"

Miya raised her eyebrow. "Don't tell me your the reason why he watches over me like he does?"

"No, that's Sumire's fault."

"Sumire?"

"Sumire was the one who asked him to watch over you. Of course he would listen to her."

Right, because Nakura Shin is also in love with Sumire. But, unlike the others who like her. He seems to be the one other than Naraskai who doesn't make any moves. 'Maybe he has already been rejected?'

"How is Terashima Yuhi's condition?"

"The doctor insisted that he stays in bed, he wakes up in short intervals and whenever he does wake up. The first thing he does is to try to call Sumire."

Miya sighed deeply. "Obviously the call didn't go through."

"Honestly, I don't know how much longer we can keep him distracted. He is adamant that something has gone wrong, and that he will go to her."

Miya bit her lip. "I have been trying on my end to see if Hiriji knows where she has gone. But, it seems he didn't even know that Lucifer had taken her."

"Do you believe that?"

"I understand why you would doubt him. But, he does seem to be pretty forthcoming about keeping Sumire safe. He even said he would keep me updated if he hears anything."

From what she has observed Jian Hiriji truly cares for Sumire. When she told him that they suspect Lucifer had taken her, he looked panicked. It was the first time seeing him look like that. He may be on the enemy's side, but he cares for Sumire's safety.

Tetsuo paused. "This situation is dangerous, Miya. I think you ought to-"

"Stand down? Definitely not. Besides, I am more than capable of handling myself."

"The black alice organisation is made up of notorious criminals. They will use any means to get what they want." Tetsuo said raising his voice. "I know you are strong Miya. But there are limits to shielding. They can easily catch you before you put your shield up."
