“……Eh?”
…..Eh?
No,……I was stunned in this way, or rather, I could not help but be surprised,…..right?
I opened the SNS and found a message from someone.
The sender was Satsuki Rei…..the name of a popular idol of the moment.
“Is this real…..?”
Or is this an impersonator…..?
Thinking so, I checked the source of the account, and it turned out to be the person who sent it…not only does it have a verification mark, but it also has almost a million followers.
“…It’s real.”
I couldn’t help but say so !
Isn’t this… some kind of mistake? Because the content is [I want to talk to you.]
There was no sudden apology before or after…it seems as if she typed this sentence out of the blue.
“……Hello, you’re real, aren’t you?”
I wrote the sentence while saying it out loud and sent it.
I immediately received a reply.
[Yes…I’m real. I’m sorry to come out of the blue….but I really wanted to talk to you. Why are you giving me words of encouragement?
Celebrities are nothing more than names, and people are always bombarded with abusive language, so I’m curious that you’re telling me to do my best.]
…….When an idol say this to me, I knew this world, it’s over.
I checked just in case, but I noticed that Satsuki san had just posted something that said, [I’m going to take a break today, and I’ll do my best tomorrow] but there were a lot of heartless words in response.
In the public world, people who are genuinely in love, genuine fans, and not only Japanese people but also foreigners give words of encouragement, but in this world, all of that has turned into abusive language.
(Even though the characters remain as digital characters, they all change into something bad, so it’s all over.)
This is lukewarm slander.
Perhaps the reason she doesn’t break even after being told this much is because somewhere in her heart, her glorious days in the original world are supporting her.
No,……it’s the same for all of us.
“…However, what should I do?”
While thinking about this, I couldn’t stop typing.
By exchanging with her in this way, first of all, I not only understood that she is genuinely Satsuki, but also that if I make one wrong response, the bomb is going to explode in a bad way.
……This is something to be expected.
If it can cheer up Satsuki san, who is feeling worn down in this world, then let’s do what I can.
[If you don’t mind, let’s have a call.]
“……………”
Calling is indeed a recent new feature that has been implemented in this SNS.
It is a feature that can only be done between two accounts…..but I was having trouble replying for a while and then a text was typed asking if it was possible.
I knew that it was definitely my imagination that the letters seemed to be shaking, but I replied that I understood.
[Ah…..ah….can you hear me?]
“Ah~yes I can hear you…..”
[Good evening,….]
“Good evening, Satsuki san.”
[….Ehehe♪]
As soon as the conversation started, she laughed happily.
Of course this is the first time for me to hear her voice, but I know what she sounds like from the short videos and TV news.
I knew it, she really is Satsuki san.
[I really……didn’t think you would really respond. I even sent you a message out of the blue, and yet, you responded.]
“No, I mean, I was more surprised than you were. I never thought an idol would send a message to such an ordinary person.”
[……Just a regular person……I guess you could say that. But to me, you are a big deal,……because your words gave me hope, courage, and energy.]
“……………”
[Actually, I was also scared….a few times, people gave me kind words, but they all just enjoyed my reaction….. and there was malice in them. But you don’t. I have a sense of what it’s like to be in show business…..that’s what makes you a good person.]
Is that how much you’ve seen people’s bad intentions?
This sharpness, or rather….the words and weight that you wish to cling to, made me think of Yume chan.
And the feelings she has..I think there are some similarities with Minase and Noto, and I’m wondering if I should continue like this.
“…Isn’t it too early to conclude that I’m a good person?”
[I know–you are a kind person. I think so.]
If you assure me that, I can’t say that I’m not, even in jest.
At this point, I thought there was no need to think so hard, so I decided to just say what I was thinking.
“Satsuki san, I don’t say abusive words and I never do violence just because the person I am talking to is a woman. I would never do that to my mother or my friends.”
[……So there is. A woman who receives your kindness up close.]
“……? Um, that’s why I’m honestly telling you to do your best. For all your activities, and for all your unreasonable words. I can only tell you that.”
For a moment, I thought her voice lowered, but then she finished.
[Thank you. Your words save my life.]
I smiled, glad to hear that.
After that, I suggested to her that we stop talking about dark topics, and we talked about our hobbies and bright topics.
Satsuki san said it’s been a while since she last had a conversation like this, and she made me worried about how dangerous the world was, but by the time 30 minutes had passed, her voice had become as cheerful as the world outside.
[Yeah……I’m really happy, I’m having fun,……phew, it’s given me a zest for life !]
“Zest for life is…..”
[Ah, please don’t take it in such a disturbing way, okay? It’s true that there are many difficult times, but as long as I have your words, I’ll be fine !]
Isn’t that like saying I’m the only one who actually supports you?
Despite all the trouble, it was already late at night, so the call ended.
Soon after, a message arrives with a ping.
[Thank you very much. I love…..talking to you.]
….It was fun, I responded.
This exchange will disappear when the world changes, right? If it goes back and stays like that, she will think it’s creepy.
Unlike Minase and Noto, I have no actual relationship with her, and she doesn’t even know my face in the first place…well, I’ll have to check this out when the world switches again.
“But….. a connection with idols?”
The slight elation in my heart will soon disappear.
An exchange with an uncertain future….I can’t make any decisions based on today alone, which is why I can’t help but sigh again.
“Eh?”
Additionally, she followed my account.
I didn’t think anything of it and reflexively followed her back, but….just thinking about what would happen again made me want to sleep.
“Fwuah ……”
Let’s just go to bed today,……so I lay down on my bed and not long after I fell asleep.

The next day, my mother had returned to normal and the world had switched again.
Then I checked yesterday’s exchange…and of course everything was gone, so I couldn’t confirm the exchange I had with Satsuki san, the occurrence of the contradiction about the world.
However, the fact that I’m a mutual follower with her has not disappeared,……and even though the exchange has disappeared, there are still traces of the call, so I wondered what Satsuki san on this side would think about this,…..that’s all I was worried about.
“…..?”
At that time, Satsuki san sent me one emoji…..a heart emoji.
What does this mean?
I didn’t know how to respond to that, and in the end I didn’t reply until a long time later.
