Chapter 10:

She: Celebrity

That One Fan


''Today is a new day, let's make it better than yesterday''

The Best gift you ever get is the gift of life, you live either a long or a short life. Spend every day with great caution because you don't know when it will end, it could be tomorrow, in weeks, months, or years. Don't regret what you've done with it, when it finally ends in darkness.

Everyone in the restaurant start to swarm to Hina and Eri's table as soon as they noticed Hina. Many people were fans of Hina no matter how young or old they were due to her advertisements all over the place. 

''Does anyone have a pen?'' a fan called out

- People scoured their bags in search of a pen 

''We have a pen'' another person spoke out

''Give the pen to Hina to sign'' As everyone pulled out an item for Hina to sign 

Eri was ignored throughout all of this. As all the focus was all upon Hina the celebrity idol that everybody recognized. Throughout the rush to get Hina's signature, people pulled out their phones. Tapping on the phone as quickly as possible to get to the camera app to take videos and pictures. 

As soon as they pointed the camera directly at Hina

''Wait who's the person sitting opposite Hina?'' 

''Wait let me see! Someone sitting opposite Hina?'' Fans start to mumble 

As people looked at their phones the camera and the images they've taken. She was indeed more strikingly prettier through the camera lenses. However, that presence doesn't show at all in person. 

- A bright yellow glow presents itself when they look at Eri through their camera

''Is that the unknown hidden star Eri Koji?'' 

''Why is she with Hina?'' 

''Wait are they going to debut together?'' Fans start to question

Fans of Hina that didn't take pictures or went on their cameras didn't know that Eri was there. As Eri sits there still with her elbow on the table and her palm on her chin. Being bored as Hina has to sign everyone's items.

- Eri starts to have a conversation with Ryo

''It's nice being a celebrity right?''

''Getting all of this attention is great after all'' Eri conveyed to Ryo

''I mean it's not always great, Hina must get tired of it all of the time'' 

''I don't think she enjoys signing everything for fans'' 

- Ryo gave reasons for the downsides of being a celebrity

''I'll just sit here invisible, while Hina gets all the attention''

But shortly after Eri said that

- The people that pulled up their cameras, came up towards Eri 

''Are you Eri Koji the one that did the cover of BLACKJACK?''

- Eri is unsure of how she got recognized

''I guess, I... am'' Eri nervously spoke

''You glowed when performing that on cameras'' 

''How are you able to give no presence in person?'' Fans questioning Eri  

''We wouldn't have been able to see or recognize you if it weren't for cameras'' 

Eri isn't sure either how her presence or lack off could be explained. Could this be a disease, condition or gods punishment on her? Being invisible to the eye isn't ideal when you try to be a celebrity.

30-minutes pass as Hina finally signs everything

''Phew we can finally order food'' Hina tired after signing for 30-minutes

''Hello, waiter can we order'' Hina calls the waiter over

- The waiter brings over a drink for Hina 

''Oh yes, here is a cocktail free on the house for Hina'' 

That cocktail-coloured emerald described Hina as being straight-up money. With a diamond scraped-shaped ice on top. It certainly didn't look like a cheap cocktail that's for sure. 

''It's a Shochu melon citrus cocktail, a great thirst quencher''

''Thank you''

- Hina takes a sip of the cocktail

''hahhhh'' a sip of relief as the thirst evaporates

''Can we order now?'' Eri is annoyed by Hina's celebrity status

- The waiter was stunned about Eri being there

''Oh yes excuse me for ignoring you miss'' The waiter apologizes to Eri 

- Eri pouts her face in annoyance

''Yes can I get an Oyakodon (Chicken and egg rice bowl)'' Hina spoke to the waiter in an angelic gentle voice

Eri didn't care much about the food anymore. That infuriating celebrity status that Hina has frustrated her so much. Eri grabs the pen as soon as Hina finished ordering... Then signs on a napkin for the waiter. 

- Handing the napkin to the waiter 

''Here's my signature'' Eri gets up and leaves in disrespect

Eri walked out of the restaurant slamming the door in the process. The other waiters only heard a loud banging noise on the door. But not Eri herself, apart from the waiter who served her and Hina. 

- That signature was a sign of threat from Eri

''What's her problem?'' Waiter questions Hina 

''She'll be fine just a little outbreak'' Hina ensures the waiter that Eri will be fine 

As the waiter looks at the signature written spelt out Eri Koji. The shock was bought up as a rush of sweat start spewing out. 

She finally starts to realise who that was

''She's the hid-den my-stery... idol all on the news'' The waiter stumbles on her words 

''Yep, she's the one that did the cover for my song, surprising right?'' 

- Hina puts both her hands on her cheek to show off her cuteness

''But her presence doesn't glow at all to the eye'' the waiter puzzled

''Yes she's special, only a camera lens can see her glow'' Hina praises Eri's hidden condition

''The yellow aura she has, only if everyone could see it she would be a star on the scene'' 

- Hina jealous of Eri's aura 

Ryo hears the conversation between the waiter and Hina. Whilst he's making the delicious, tasty Oyakodon for Hina. As Ryo finishes by putting the chicken and egg on top of the rice with spring onions as a garnish on top. 

- Ryo hands off the Oyakodon to Hina

''Here's your Oyakodon, Hina'' 

''So to continue, I saw Eri's aura clearly without the use of a camera''

''What you saw her aura!'' Hina shocked face showed 

''Yes the first time I saw it was when she was laying on the bench when I first met her''

''That light aura glowed and attracted me towards her'' Ryo rambled on and on about Eri

- Ryo kept on expressing

''I feel like it's a gift. A gift from an angel, her late mother''
