Chapter 52: Revenge with the Child of the World

"Yuko, did you find anything on your side?"

Ako, while operating the mouse to check Shengzai's latest "study materials," asked her younger sister on the side.

"No, except for a manga with a cult sister-complex theme, Shengzai this kid hasn't had any new collectibles at all recently.

How about you, sister, did you find any useful clues?"

Yuko, while destroying all the sister-complex themed materials she had found earlier, also turned her head to look at her sister and asked.

"Shengzai's 'study materials' have increased quite a bit recently; judging from the file opening records and the number of tissues in the trash can, he should still be in a 'sage mode' recently.

However, the password for Shengzai's LINE seems to have been changed again; I've tried it several times but it's wrong. Do you have any ideas, Yuko?"

Hearing her sister's words, Yuko was clearly also stunned: "No way, changed the password again?

Did sister leave any traces last time that were discovered?

Getting the password out of Shengzai's mouth is simple; how about we find a professional? Later, we can just lie and say the computer has a virus?"

Shengzai, who had left home for his appointment, clearly didn't expect that his two foster mother sisters were already preparing to find a professional to hack his computer.

And dressed in a tracksuit, when he arrived at a park, he also saw Hoshino Aqua, who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting; because there are two very troublesome people at home, it took quite a bit of time.

As for Aqua-san, if I'm not mistaken, you are indeed that survivor from back then, right?"

The reason Shengzai appeared here was naturally because Aqua had made an appointment with him.

After obtaining Shengzai's LINE from his sister Rubi, the message Aqua sent him was also very simple.

【If you want to know the truth about that day, come to Yangdong Park before 8:30, and I will tell you everything you want to know.】

Regarding the world of *Oshi no Ko*, Shengzai hadn't watched much of the plot, probably just an episode or two.

Because it was "stabbed" (heartbreaking) from the start, Shengzai directly abandoned it.

But even knowing little, Shengzai also knew that Hoshino Aqua and Hoshino Rubi were the children of the world in this world.

Hoshino Ai's death was quite heartbreaking; however, it was a pity that he was only a child at the time, and he hadn't shared power yet, so he couldn't stop anything.

Hoshino Ai's death was not simple; Shengzai naturally knew this very well, and he had secretly investigated it over the years, but unfortunately, he had gained nothing.

Hoshino Ai protected her secrets too well; even the few people in the know, such as Ichigo Saitou of Strawberry Pro, and their current guardian Miyako Saitou, treated Hoshino Ai as their own family, and their lips were quite tight.

His cheap brother and Ako ending up paralyzed from the waist down was, in the end, an unprovoked disaster, but this didn't mean Shengzai was willing to let the mastermind behind the scenes go like this.

So when Aqua approached him and said he wanted to tell him the truth, Shengzai responded immediately.

It had nothing to do with using or being used; now it was just because everyone had the same enemy, so they chose to cooperate temporarily.

"My name is Hoshino Aqua; the popular idol Hoshino Ai, who died in an attack more than ten years ago, is my mother..."

"No need to say these things I already know. I didn't come out in the middle of the night to listen to you tell me these irrelevant pieces of information.

Do you think I haven't investigated Hoshino Ai's affairs over the years?

You just need to tell me the mastermind behind the scenes who ordered that fan to kill!"

Before Aqua's words were finished, he had already been interrupted by the impatient Shengzai.

And subsequently, Aqua didn't continue to talk nonsense, but took out a piece of paper with a few names written on it from his pocket and handed it to Shengzai.

"The place where Ai and we lived back then was quite secret; even for me and Rubi, we told the outside world that we were Miyako's children.

And that fan was able to accurately find our accommodation and confirm that we were Ai's children; there was only one possibility, and that was that someone leaked the information.

And the person who leaked the information was also quite familiar with Ai, and it was even very likely to be our father..."

"This list I gave you is what I found from Ai's private phone; I suspect the real mastermind behind the scenes might be among these people."

Shengzai was clearly also stunned when he heard Aqua's words; he hadn't expected that the child of the world in this world would play so big—was this guy actually preparing to kill his father?

And when he watched this show before, didn't the introduction say it was a romance/stock-market show? How did this turn into an ethical drama?

Of course, these didn't have much to do with him, Shengzai. After all, even if the real culprit was Aqua's father, the other party wasn't his own old man; if he wanted to take revenge, he wouldn't be soft-hearted at all!

"Toshirou Kindaichi, Masaya Kaburagi..."

"I see. Judging from the characters on this list, these people are indeed quite influential in the industry.

No wonder you chose to join forces with me; you want to rely on my current influence to help you approach these people, right?

Tell me directly, what do you want to do? Or rather, how do you want me to help you?"

Shengzai was not a fool; when he saw the list, he could roughly guess the reason Aqua had asked him out.

"Since the target I suspect is the biological father of me and Rubi, as long as I find a way to get the hair of these people on the list, or saliva on cigarette butts, I can perform a DNA test.

Previously, I helped Arima Kana, which ruled out Masaya Kaburagi on the list.

However, he seems to know more secrets about Ai, but he also put forward a condition.

That is, not only does he want me to participate in the *Love Now* reality show, but as the producer, he also hopes that this variety show can gain a certain amount of heat."

Hearing Aqua's words, Shengzai also understood; in short, Aqua and Masaya Kaburagi had reached a certain agreement.

If he wanted to know more secrets about Hoshino Ai from him, he had to ensure the heat of this variety show.

However, the *Love Now* reality show was basically for the purpose of making those young people in the entertainment industry popular.

Although the people participating were indeed handsome men and beauties with good looks, they themselves didn't have much popularity to speak of.

Masaya Kaburagi's ambition was very big; the guests for this season of *Love Now* were all arranged by him. If these couples could all become popular,

not only would the industry recognize his ability, but these young people who became popular would also owe him a favor because of this.

Participating in *Love Now* was no problem for Aqua, but he really didn't have the confidence to ensure the heat of the show.

And just approaching one person on the list, Masaya Kaburagi, was already completely relying on luck, so finally, after hesitating for a long time, he decided to seek Shengzai's help.
