Well, a part of my soul hurt her deeply... the insatiable search for my mother ended up making me cold.
"Aqua, I want to ask you something very important and serious, I want you to be honest with me."
I ended up hearing this with a lump in my throat and watched her eyes, waiting for her answer.
"You've changed a lot from yesterday to today, you're more expressive and... strange at the same time, always looking at something."
"I'm slowly overcoming my pain, but I think it will take a while to overcome it completely... and being a little more expressive helps with that."
It went from 0 to 100 very quickly when she described how she was today, and this lack of habit will always surprise her internally.
But there was something I needed to ask her: if she is still persisting with this goal... things might get a little easier for me and I can continue with my systems development and social cycles.
"Ruby, can I ask you something too?" 'Huh? Ehhh... Go ahead, Aqua."
"Are you still trying to become an idol in a group?' In my head, I feel like this question could lead to something, so it wouldn't be difficult for me to ask it.
Suddenly, she looks down at the floor, her eyebrows slightly lowered... showing that she's a little disappointed with something.
"Hmmm..."
And that's what happened, touching a deeper part of her. I know that her dream has always been to be a successful idol like our mother... but she needs to be inspired by that and not get discouraged easily by her attempts.
"Aqua."
"Tell me, dear sister."
"I'm trying so hard, sacrificing every drop of sweat from my forehead and all my strength, from head to toe, to be accepted by an agency or group... it's so hard and I always give it my best, you know?"
As I listened to this in detail, flashbacks ran through my head, where I always ended up identifying with every word.
"I guess after what happened to us... it's normal to keep trying, even with the past events, but that's not the main reason."
"It has an influence, I know, but... it's not just because of that, I've always wanted to be an idol and see her sensual smile."
Suddenly, she touched on a more detailed part... our mother's death was one of the main reasons she continued to try so hard to be an idol in our country.
"And those other reasons you didn't mention to me, are they on par with our mother's main reason?"
"Not really, but they have an impact, you know? Seriously... the entertainment world has always been very problematic, Onii-chan."
When we reached a crosswalk, the traffic light stopped and we crossed the street to reach the school gate, which was only a few meters away.
Seeing it from afar is like seeing the beautiful landscape of Liyue that I loved to explore in Genshin Impact when I was still strong and healthy in my past life.
It was a completely open campus with an incredible view of the distant but visible mountain... there were several different blocks, study blocks, dormitories, restaurants, shops, and leisure facilities such as a swimming pool, sports courts, and much more.
"Well, at least studying here is nice... I can always hone my idol skills at the gym, which is empty at certain times."
"I see... would you like to grab something to eat later at the bakery across the street?"
"Later, Onii-chan, I really need to meet my daily goal now... I'll see you later, kisses."
I end up saying goodbye to Ruby for a moment with a kiss on top of her head and a wave with my right hand... she heads for the study block.
- Beep beep
"Hm? The system beeped, what does it mean?"
[You are in a universal area, all the people you wished existed study at this college]
[Conditions: Be exemplary and excellent, if you fail... your personal development will be more problematic and imperfect, and in the end, people will know your intentions]
Intentions? He must be referring to my deep actions, since the system has been adapted appropriately for these situations as well.
As much as supernatural power is necessary, social power is also necessary to have on hand... and the first step is to get to know other people on campus, where I'm sure all the people I ended up wishing for in heaven are here... well, that's what I hope.
In any case, I ended up reflecting for a moment and remembered that the only people I know who might be here and others who aren't are Kotori and Origami Tobichii... since Reine Murasame doesn't attend the campus here. The rest are spirits and haven't caused anything yet, and I ended up deciding to look at my cell phone for specific information.
[Google search: Are there any underground facilities here in Japan?]
When I looked for an exact source, I found out that some regions, which happen to be near the school, 20 minutes away, have an underground facility for protection against impending earthquakes.
So, yes, they haven't reached our planet yet and no earthquake has occurred in our region... so I'll stay calm about that and get to know the others, which I didn't want to have to do.
I didn't choose Boku no Hero precisely because it's much more complicated, but I think it will be easier to interact here... although it's still a little unpleasant to have to start from scratch and get to know the students here.
- Failure...
The system opens before my eyes without letting me execute the opening command and ends up leaving me with a serious and important notification.
[On city televisions, a warning has been issued to the population that a possible earthquake will hit the country soon]
[Conditions: Upon contact with this earthquake, the danger level will be deadly... be well armed and prepared if you plan to investigate areas possibly affected by the natural disaster]
Well, I'll have to be more cautious when navigating this city and country... I need to make good use of the rewards the system offers me.
As I walked to the block where the students' lockers were located, I tried to find mine to store my belongings, and when I found it... I saw a familiar girl with blonde hair, green eyes, short stature, and an air that conveyed an enormous adoration for God.
"Ah? Hello? Do you need anything, kid?"
