"?"
A big question mark appeared on Chinatsu Aihara's head, and she looked at Makoto Sakaki with great confusion.
In the two years since she joined the Sunshine Circus, she worked hard and never missed training day and night. After everyone had rested at night, she often went to the yard to practice alone.
In her opinion...
I have already learned the essence of my master and can perform on stage.
But in Sakaki Makoto's eyes...
Just as Captain Haneda commented, she is still too young.
"Your master, Nishijo Masato, whether on stage or off stage..."
Sakaki Makoto looked up at the sky. The sunlight shone through the leaves, casting scattered shadows on his face:
“They all treat themselves as clowns.”
"To be fair, he is indeed a performer."
"But you are different..."
"You are just imitating his behavior, and you are complacent about the superficial knowledge you have learned. No wonder Captain Haneda doesn't let you perform on stage, because you can't make the audience laugh from the bottom of their hearts."
Aihara Chinatsu was stunned.
She had never thought about it so much.
I chose acrobatics at first because I felt I was suited for it.
When she heard that she had to learn to perform clown, she was a little reluctant...
But later...
Aihara Chinatsu suddenly realized that her efforts were not rewarded as they should be.
I can't even perform on stage.
From that moment on...
Her mindset changed.
"Didn't the teacher say that as long as you perform with all your heart, you will surely succeed?"
Chinatsu Aihara asked:
“I am very dedicated and work very hard!”
"Can you make yourself laugh in the mirror?"
"Why do you want to make yourself laugh?"
She was puzzled:
“Isn’t performance for the audience?”
"This is why Captain Haneda didn't let you go on stage."
Sakaki Makoto shook his head:
"The heart that Masato Saijo talks about is not just hard work. Acting is a very profound subject. If you want to master it, you need to put in a lot of effort, just like the master Charlie Chaplin."
"Chaplin once said that for an artist, if he can break the rules and create completely freely, his achievements will often be amazing."
"But you've always been imitating Nishijo Masato and never break the rules."
These words seemed to have touched the pain point in Aihara Chinatsu's heart. Her face darkened and she stroked her ponytail:
"so what?"
"You know..."
Sakaki Makoto suddenly sighed:
“When people look in the mirror, they sometimes have two thoughts.”
“1. Appreciate the beauty reflected in the mirror, admire the beauty, follow the beauty, and then become more beautiful.”
“2. Dislike the false self in the mirror, break the mirror, hate the mirror, and want to escape from him/her who is lingering.”
"Ms. Chixia, which one do you think you are?"
Pursing her lips, Chinatsu Aihara did not answer.
She understood.
The two ideas correspond to the good and evil in one's heart.
If she hopes for light and yearns for light, then what she sees in the mirror is light.
On the contrary, if she hates reality and escapes from it, what is reflected in the mirror is a dark world.
Every time late at night, she stood alone in the deserted yard, facing the bonfire, looking down at the mirror in her hand...
It always gives me a shock.
Although she was smiling in the mirror, her smile was ugly, as if she was wearing a fake mask.
Even the glowing bonfire cannot dispel the negative emotions bred by darkness.
She was jealous, she was angry, she was resentful.
She knew what expression she had behind the mask.
final....
She saw the shadow of Masato Nishijo in the mirror.
She threw the mirror into the bonfire and watched the flames devour the mirror bit by bit, cold as ice.
This moment...
She took off her mask and danced gracefully to the roar of Yan Nan.
The feeling of breaking free...
Make her intoxicated and fascinated.
"It seems that you have understood."
Looking at the ferocious-looking Aihara Chinatsu who had been freed from her shackles, Sakaki Makoto said expressionlessly:
"What does it feel like?"
"Um...."
She looked around, smiled and stretched:
“It feels pretty good, but it’s a little too bright.”
The circus members took two steps back in fear and looked at Chinatsu Aihara in shock, who seemed like a completely different person.
The appearance and voice remain the same, but the temperament exuded...
It's unsettling.
"Are you guilty?"
Sakaki Makoto said:
"If you surrender yourself, maybe the sentence will be lighter."
"No."
She shook her head.
"Why do you have to interfere with me, Mr. Detective?"
"You have no evidence anyway, so why not take your girlfriend out for a sightseeing trip?"
"If you waste your time on me, my girlfriend will be angry..."
"No, I can't."
Miss Miyano glanced at her and said coldly:
"It's the time spent with him that's important, not the things that are done."
"Do you understand the principle of contentment?"
As if it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, Chinatsu Aihara suddenly exploded.
She hugged her head and roared unwillingly:
"Why....why do you all have to lecture me?!"
"Why does happiness always elude me, while misfortune always stays around me?!"
