Volume 1 Chapter 2 — The Girl Who Came From The Future

Revolution of Illusions



The morning after the concert...

The world had changed.Yoko Kazesaki sat on her bed, silently staring at her phone.

The screen was filled with countless articles.

"Mysterious Girl Appears During Asterion's Concert!""

A New Idol Star Born From Light?""

The Angel-Like Singer Who Shocked Japan!

"Videos of the mysterious performance were everywhere.

People were sharing the moment when Yoko descended onto the stage surrounded by white feathers and silver light.

Nobody could explain what had happened.

Some believed it was an incredible performance prepared by the agency.

Others believed they had witnessed something impossible.But everyone agreed on one thing...

The girl on the stage was unforgettable.Yoko covered her face with her hands.

"No way...

""That was really me..."

She remembered the moment.

The light.

The song.

The voice.

The strange feeling that her body already knew the performance.

"It wasn't supposed to happen...

"She whispered.

"Why did everyone see me?"

The concert had happened during the weekend.

But today...

It was time to return to school.

Yoko hoped that everything would return to normal.

However...

The moment she entered the school building, she realized that was impossible.

"Yoko!""

Is it true?""

Are you the girl from the concert?""

How did you appear on that stage?"

"Are you secretly an idol?"

Students surrounded her with questions.

Yoko became nervous.

"N-No..."

"You are mistaken."

"It wasn't me."

But her red face betrayed her.

Ayaka Fujimori looked at her and smiled.

"Yoko..."

"You are terrible at lying."

"I-I am not!"

Ayaka laughed.

"But if it wasn't you, why are you so embarrassed?"

Yoko didn't know how to answer.

However...Something else bothered her.

Naoki Takeru and Minoru Shihai were not at school.

"That's strange..."

"They never miss school.

"Yoko wondered what happened.Then suddenly...The classroom door opened.

A man entered.

Everyone became quiet.

"I am looking for Yoko Kazesaki.

"The man introduced himself as the producer of Asterion.

The entire class was shocked.

"A producer?"

"Why is he here?"

Yoko froze.

"Me?"

The producer nodded.

"Yes."

"I need you to come with me.

"At the agency...Yoko looked around nervously.

This was the place where famous idols worked.

The producer sat in front of her.

"I know this is sudden."

"But after what happened at the concert..."

"People are waiting for you."

Yoko was confused.

"Waiting for me?"

The producer nodded.

"The fans who saw your performance..."

"They want to know who you are."

"They believe you are a new idol.

"Yoko quickly shook her head.

"No."

"That's impossible."

"I'm not an idol."

"I don't even understand what happened.

"The producer looked serious.

"But that performance was real.

""Your voice..."

"Your presence..."

"It touched thousands of people.

"He leaned forward.

"Please."

"Become an idol.

"Yoko was shocked.

"Me?"

"No way."

"I can't do that.

"Then suddenly...A strange feeling appeared.

Her vision became blurry.Another memory.Another illusion.

A different world.

A different time.

Yoko stood on the same stage.

But everything looked different.The lights were darker.

The atmosphere was heavier.

She was older.

She was still an idol.

But something had gone wrong.

A voice spoke.

"You came back..."

"You finally returned to the past.

"Yoko tried to understand.

"Past...?"

"Future...?"

She realized the truth.

She wasn't seeing a dream.

She was seeing memories.Memories from the future.

But before she could hear the rest...

Everything disappeared.

"Yoko?"

The producer's voice brought her back.

She was sitting in the agency again.Her hands were trembling.

"What was that...?"She didn't notice it herself.But while lost in confusion...

She answered."

...I understand."The producer looked surprised.

"Does that mean..."Yoko realized what she had said.

"W-Wait...""I...

"But it was already too late.She had accepted.

From that day...Yoko Kazesaki's life changed forever.

The ordinary fourteen-year-old girl became a new idol.

She entered a world filled with lights, expectations, and pressure.

A world where every mistake could be seen by everyone.

But behind her new career was a much bigger mystery.

Why did she have memories of a future she had never lived?

Why did fate bring her back to the past?

And what was the mistake she failed to prevent?

Yoko didn't know the answers yet.

But her new journey had already begun.

The story of an idol who came from the future...was only beginning.
