When I tried to proceed with discharge procedures the next day, my family actively tried to stop me.
"Ah, Yume's physical condition is already in top shape, so there won't be any major issues if you're discharged."
At the doctor's words, they just stared at me blankly, and I looked back at them.
"I told you. I'm a bit different from other people."
I said goodbye to the doctor who always takes care of me and took the children out.
Fortunately, when we returned home by car prepared by senior, who expected us to be discharged the next day,
Aqua and Ruby went to the living room, and Ai headed to the kitchen.
"By the way, it's almost lunchtime. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Huh? Yume?"
"Let's order."
"Yume, is takeout possible?★"
"Not possible, so go quietly to the living room."
"Yes~"
Why can't I shake off the feeling that I'm being pushed around? Is it just my imagination that I can already see my future of being tied down?
I thought about ordering delivery, but decided to make a light dinner with food at home instead.

Third-person Hoshino Aqua/Ruby
The sensational news that an idol was nearly killed by a fan and the perpetrator turned themselves in spread one day after the incident occurred.
Normally, such articles would spread within an hour, but
the company used a day to buy time for senior's 'work' by keeping it quiet.
When the news broke, most of the public reaction was sympathetic, but
just as there is light, there is darkness, and human nature's dark side led to not a few posts written by those who toyed with the attacked child's misfortune to seek attention.
Fortunately, since Aqua and Ruby were known to be under Saito and Miyako, they weren't mentioned in the center of the news.
And most importantly, Hoshino Yume was also strongly silenced by the 'company', so there was no reporting on any broadcast stations or news outlets.
It was only natural. No one had the courage to touch the 'company' that Hoshino Yume belonged to.
While Aqua and Ruby were browsing Twitter on the smartphones Yume bought them,
they read many absurd speculations and bizarre documents, and among them, there were quite a few close to the truth, so they were not a little surprised.
Among them, one post that caught Ruby's eye said:
[The stalker found out that Ai has a man]
[Yeah, if that's the case, it can't be helped that she almost got stabbed to death]
Fortunately, Yume doesn't use his phone much, so he wouldn't see such posts, but if he did, he would hack all the personal information of the humans who wrote such things and try to bring them down physically or socially.
"It can't be helped? What?"
Ruby, as if her emotions exploded upon reading that post,
"An idol almost dies because she's in love, and that can't be helped? Huh? That can't be right!!!"
Ruby knew that Ai and Aqua were nearby, but she couldn't hold back her bursting emotions.
"You have real love for an idol!! Isn't it too shameless to deny that!? You're just pouring out your lack of a girlfriend onto women, and it's disgusting, die!! Just die!!"
"Ruby."
Ai approached such Ruby, carefully hugged and stroked her, and while being hugged and stroked by Ai, Ruby shed tears and said,
"Mama... why is the internet like this? Mama almost died. Yume almost died after being stabbed in the stomach... Is it that if you're as famous as Mama, you have to put up with any words?"
"Ruby, that's"
Ai tried to say something else to Ruby, but.
"What's fame? Customers say things like gods or whatever, but that's not for you to use! Don't use the words that hurt people use to make sense of their wounds as an indulgence to hurt others..!!!!"
'Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!'
"That's right, that's right.... Ruby always thinks of Mama."
Ai continued to stroke Ruby until she calmed down, and Aqua just watched the two silently lost in thought.
Actually, the news that Ai was nearly killed died down after about three days, as if the content consumption was over, and after news that snow quickly fell and paralyzed the transportation network, it was no longer a topic.
But, if it had been Hoshino Yume instead of Ai, this news would have been covered for at least a week. Ai is certainly a celebrity, but the position of top executive in the 'company' that Hoshino Yume belongs to has even greater fame.
Thus, the snow covered up the incident where Hoshino Ai and Hoshino Yume were nearly killed.

"It can't be helped? What?"
In the kitchen, cooking, I stopped my hands at the sound of Ruby's voice,
"An idol almost dies because she's in love, and that can't be helped? Huh? That can't be right!!!"
Clearly, Ai and Aqua must be by Ruby's side now, but it seems like Ruby isn't caring about such things and is exploding with emotion.
"You have real love for an idol!! Isn't it too shameless to deny that!? You're just pouring out your lack of a girlfriend onto women, and it's disgusting, die!! Just die!!"
I can understand what emotions Ruby is speaking with, but seeing Ruby explode like this is the first time; I guess the shock was that great.
"Ruby."
"Mama... why is the internet like this? Mama almost died. Yume almost died after being stabbed in the stomach... Is it that if you're as famous as Mama, you have to put up with any words?"
"Ruby, that's"
Even cutting off Ai's words, Ruby had a lot she wanted to say.
"What's fame? Customers say things like gods or whatever, but that's not for you to use! Don't use the words that hurt people use to make sense of their wounds as an indulgence to hurt others..!!!!"
'Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!'
"That's right, that's right.... Ruby always thinks of Mama."
From now on, I should learn how to use smartphones a bit.
To prevent Ruby, Aqua, or Ai from suffering, I need to consider deleting information focused on hate comments first.
I'll have to rely on the help of not only senior but other 'seniors' as well.
Thinking about the increasing help from seniors, I carefully sighed and finished preparing dinner.
Thus, time passed and flowed, and before I knew it, the day of Ai's dome concert arrived, and I was now talking with senior.
"Oh my, oh my, as expected of a dome, there are so many people, aren't there?"
"That must be it."
Most of them must be people coming to see Ai.
"Well then, shall we get to the main point?"
"Yes, please go ahead."
"What I want to ask of you is just one thing."
"That's an unexpected thing to say."
"Ahaha, I knew you'd say that, youngest."
Senior stroked my head and spoke. Actually, I've been treated like a child quite a bit in this way, but considering senior's age, it's not something to mind much, so it was best to just stay still.
"You know that our company is preparing a new project this time, right?"
"Yes, I heard that the broad outline has been set, though the detailed plan hasn't been finalized."
"Right. Among them, the new project we're doing is that each of us executives will select three people to become singers, actors, and voice actors for new activities."
"Ha! You mean us?"
At senior's words, I was so shocked that I laughed hollowly and said,
"Yes. Honestly, youngest, you and I can't say our personalities are good, but you know that among our ten, we're considered normal, right?"
"That's..."
After a moment's thought at senior's words,
"Hey!! Let's fight!!"
"That crazy bitch is at it again!!"
"Kyahaahahahahahahahat!!!!"
"Bring the alcohol, alcohol!!!!"
"Hey, I'm getting hungry, aren't you serving food?"
"My sister has a piano recital, can I go?"
"Wow, I want to go home."
"Shall we lightly hack NASA today!?"
I thought of the images of the executives flashing through my mind, and
"Wow, is that fcking possible?"
"Lately, it's good that our youngest is expressing more emotions, but it seems like the swearing is increasing too, which makes this senior a bit sad."
"I'm sorry. I'll correct it."
But no matter how I think about it, it seems absolutely impossible, so I say,
"That's why I called you like this, right?"
"Don't tell me."
I really want to decline any more troublesome tasks increasing, but.
"Yes, youngest. You choose one of these three to proceed with. That's the condition I'm imposing on you."
"Wow, you're really making it so there's no escape route."
"Ufufu, that's this senior's charm, isn't it? By the way, this senior is out of the question."
That must be because she has a husband.
"Well then, what is our youngest's choice?"
"........I'll choose actor, please."
"Good choice. I was planning to make 'that child' the idol."
"Ah...... you mean 'her'."
"Yes, she has the face and talent, so we should use her, right?"
"Well, if it's her, she'd probably agree right away, saying it sounds fun."
"Fufu, then this senior will be going now. I guess my work for today is done."
"Did you really come just to say this?"
A three-hour round trip?
"Then, as a bonus, I came to give you this information too."
Senior handed me a document paper and then,
"It's information extracted as much as possible from that guy. Honestly, we didn't get much useful information, but it's better than nothing, right?"
"Thank you."
After handing me the document, senior, as if she had finished her work, turned her back without hesitation and left, and I quietly put the document in my bag and headed to the waiting room where Ai was waiting.
"Is the preparation going well?"
"Ah, Yume?"
Arriving at the waiting room, I approached Ai, who was alone, and spoke to her, and upon hearing me, Ai turned around and,
"Yume energy charging★"
"Don't hug me."
What if someone sees you hugging me so openly?
Actually, since B-Komachi doesn't know about my relationship with Ai, we need to be careful, but Ai has been getting bolder lately, which is troublesome.
After hugging for about ten minutes, Ai, with a satisfied expression, broke away from my embrace and,
"Yume energy charging complete★ Today's performance will be the best performance!!"
"Yeah."
Your current self is exactly the you I wanted to see, Ai.
So go show them and come back. Show your charm to the whole world.
From now on, you will become the 'perfect idol' and become everyone's idol, flying even higher.
The fact that I have the privilege to watch that from the side is something to be so happy about.
I really am a greedy man.

First-person Hoshino Ai
So this is the dome~ There seem to be so many people.
Are all these people the ones who came to see me?
Probably so.
Hmm~ I'm in a better mood than usual today. I wonder why?
Of course, it's because right now, I, Hoshino Ai,
am in love.
So from now on, there's no need to lie anymore.
Because now, I have people I truly love by my side.
Yes, that's right. As Yume said, I, Hoshino Ai, am greedy.
I want to have happiness as Aqua and Ruby's mother.
I don't want to give up on sharing happiness and love with everyone as an idol.
And because of Yume, one more thing has increased, hasn't it?
I want to have an even deeper relationship with Hoshino Yume, the person I love the most.
So after showing Yume the best performance at this dome concert, I'll tell him.
"Yume, love me even more. Fill me with everything of Yume."
Share Yume's love with me. I'll be waiting, Yume!
[B-Komachi members, please come out!!!!]
