After repelling the man, Rinka would glare angrily at any men who would even think of trying to approach us. Thanks to that, we arrived at the movie theater without running into any more problems.

Rinka kept talking about Shion on the way.

Since I had to keep the conversation going, I said I was also a fan of Shion.

Rinka had always been a strong person, and her figure and atmosphere made those around her fear her for who she was.

Due to that however, she had a lot of followers, but no one to speak to as an equal, or anyone to show her true self to.

During those moments, she found out about Personia’s song, 『So alone』

It seems like this song helped relieve Rinka of her solitude and loneliness.

Rinka said that Shion’s song didn’t feel superficial. In fact, it seemed like Shion really understood how loneliness felt, and this song helped in cheering her up, with lyrics saying「I’m not the only one who’s lonely」

That’s why Rinka told me that Shion is her lifesaver.

Though, this song was just me venting my frustrations when I couldn’t get any friends during high school…

I never would’ve imagined that this song would be able to sympathize with Rinka.

With various mixed emotions, I entered the movie theater.

～～～～～～～～～～

As soon as I arrived at the movie theater, I made my move.

It hurts me to worry Rinka needlessly, but I have no other choice.

After checking where our seats were in the movie theater, I bent down and gripped my stomach.

“Ow, ow… Sorry Rinka, my stomach is aching. I’m gonna head to the toilet for a bit…”

“Eh? Are you ok? Are you having your period?”

“Hell no! It’s probably just diarrhea! You can just wait at our seat for now. I might not be back for a bit, so you can just begin watching the movie without me.”

“No way… I’m really worried, you know? Maybe I should come with you.”

“It’d definitely be embarrassing if you followed me into the toilet! D-don’t worry, I’ll definitely head over as soon as I can!”

“Ah, hey..! He’s already gone…”

I immediately made my way towards the waiting room, where I could see some people were already waiting for Shion to arrive.

I have to quickly change out of these clothes and get dressed up as Shion.

“Excuse me, miss, you can’t pass through here. Only authorized personnel are allowed past this point. Or are you the actress who’s going to meet Director Sakaki?”

I was stopped by the security guard.

Well, that should be obvious given the fact that I’m wearing these clothes.

Just as I was about to prove my identity, Director Sakaki walked past us.

As soon as he noticed me, he moved straight towards me.

As expected of the director, he obviously knows that I’m Shion even though I look like this. 

Feeling relieved, I waited for the director to approach me.

“Y-you! Would you like to star in my movie?”

“…huh?”

I was really confused after hearing what the director suddenly said.

“O-oh sorry. My name is Sakaki, and I’m a film director.”

No, that’s not the problem here. Everyone knows who you are.

Director Sakaki has won various awards and is very famous even in other countries.

“I was instantly charmed by your appearance! By all means, please come and perform in my next movie!”

Director Sakaki’s also known to performers as “Sakaki the Demon”. That very same man is bowing down to me.

What the hell? What should I do?

“Err… Director? It’s me. Shion.”

With cold sweat running down my body, I used Shion’s voice and revealed myself to the director.
