Hearing the word "money", Fukuzawa Sakura turned around, changing his previous cold and ruthless appearance. He instantly smiled and spoke in a gentle tone. He clasped his hands to his face and said to Nakamura Oto in a flattering manner:

"Okay, honey, how much money would you like to discuss first?"

"..."

The rapid change in Fukuzawa Sakura's attitude made Nakamura Oto feel a little at a loss. Nakamura Oto estimated his limited bank savings and gave a price he had in mind.

"How about talking about 5,000 first?"

Fukuzawa Sakura, who held the philosophy of refusing to take advantage of others and believing that money makes things easier, nodded and said in a low voice:

"Honey, sure. Which topic do you want to talk about first? You can only talk about one topic with 5,000~"

"Um... So, how have you been?"

"Very good, honey~"

"...Sakura, can you please speak normally, like before? It feels weird for you to be like this now."

"Oh, okay, go ahead."

"..."

The rapid change in Fukuzawa Sakura's tone disrupted the emotions that Nakamura Oto had prepared in advance. For a moment, Nakamura Oto didn't know what to say.

Looking at Nakamura Oto who was thinking about what to say next with a slightly embarrassed look under the spotlight, Fukuzawa Sakura thought about the five thousand dollars, sighed, and decided to help Nakamura Oto continue the topic.

"how have you been?"

"Ah I..."

When talking about himself, Nakamura lowered his head in disappointment.

"The eldest daughter of Dongyue Agency was involved in a scandal some time ago. It was said that she cheated in competitions and replaced rankings. The development of Dongyue Agency was also affected. Now the idols and groups in the agency can't get any notices. They can only take extra money to make ends meet."

"That's not easy~"

Nakamura Oto thought about his recent life and laughed at himself.

"I can't do anything right. I've found my talent, but I still do a terrible job."

"Yeah, you're really bad."

"Eh?"

Nakamura Oto, who habitually belittles herself and makes fun of herself, had expected to receive encouragement and comfort from Fukuzawa Sakura as she had done countless times before, but she did not expect that this time, what she got was Fukuzawa Sakura's ruthless affirmation.

"Wait, Sakura, what did you just say? I don't think I heard it clearly."

Nakamura Oton thought she was hallucinating. Fukuzawa Sakura, who had always been in her heart and who had encouraged and supported her when she was at her lowest, would never say such cruel words.

"Ok?"

Fukuzawa Sakura looked at Nakamura's ears in a strange way, thinking that it was because of the stage in-ear monitor that Nakamura didn't hear her words clearly, so she quickly walked onto the stage, took off the in-ear monitor from Nakamura's ears, and said loudly next to Nakamura's ears:

"I say! You—are—really—bad—!"

Nakamura Oto, who was originally feeling amorous because of Fukuzawa Sakura's sudden approach, was suddenly hit by the extremely loud sound, and his brain went blank in an instant.

"Eh?"

Seeing that Nakamura was still in a daze, Fukuzawa Sakura thought that she had not explained it clearly enough, so she explained:

"After all, you are a guy with no talent, no strength, and no effort as hard as a genius. Of course, you will become nothing if you leave me. What's more, the eldest daughter of the Dongyue family is also a fake. Of course, two losers together can't produce anything. So it's normal that you didn't cause any movement in the circle after you went to Dongyue. But at least you have self-knowledge and know that you are a loser~ This is much better than others."

"No talent", "no strength", "fake", "waste" these cold words came out of Fukuzawa Sakura's mouth and pierced Nakamura Oto's heart.

"Sakura? What... do you mean? You must be lying to me, hahahaha that's really funny, but I don't like this lie, don't tell it next time."

Nakamura Oto shook her head in disbelief and looked at Fukuzawa Sakura.

"Lies? I usually say nonsense, but this time it's true, not a lie."

Fukuzawa Sakura tilted her head and observed Nakamura Oto's expression, as if she wanted to see something from Nakamura Oto's face.

"Not a lie? Then, is it a prank show? I know, it must be a prank. I said how could Sakura, who has always been willing to encourage and help me when I was at my lowest, say such cruel words? This must be a prank show, right? Yes, that's right. After all, Sakura said before that I have a talent for singing. How could she say I'm a loser now? Hahahaha, Sakura signed up for the prank show behind my back to help me. She wanted me to be a comedian, right? I know!"

"No. You can tell by looking at it. There are no cameras or staff around. It's not a prank show."

Fukuzawa Sakura leaned closer to look at Nakamura Oto's face and spoke cold words in a flat tone.

“Although I quarreled with Akashi and the others at Teiko, I never denied their views on geniuses and ordinary people.

A genius is a genius. The heights that a genius reaches are difficult for ordinary people to reach. The starting points of geniuses and ordinary people are very different, and the efforts of a genius will undoubtedly make the heights that are difficult for ordinary people to reach become heights that ordinary people will never be able to reach in their entire lives.

But I am very curious, if geniuses and ordinary people are at the same level, or even if ordinary people are at a higher level, in the future, will the geniuses surpass ordinary people, or will ordinary people barely maintain their advantage through hard work?

As I was thinking about this, I saw you.

To control the variables, I made you believe that you were one of the geniuses and helped you reach a higher level than the starting line of genius.

Well, but judging from the results of Saotome Academy, my hypothesis has indeed been verified.

Even if they are at the same starting line, or even a higher starting line, ordinary people are still not as good as geniuses.

After all, if the efforts of ordinary people are useful, what is the need for genius?"

Fukuzawa Sakura's emotionless words pierced into Nakamura Oto's heart and were deeply engraved in Nakamura Oto's mind.

Tears slowly flowed from the corners of Nakamura Oto's eyes.

One drop, two drops...

Gradually…

Before she knew it, Nakamura Oto's face was covered with tears.

Fukuzawa Sakura kept looking at Nakamura Oto's expression. She seemed to think that Nakamura Oto's constant crying was a bit boring. Fukuzawa Sakura waved at Nakamura Oto and said:

"The topic is over, I'm leaving now~"

Nakamura Oto seemed not to have heard what Fukuzawa Sakura said, and she still stood there in a daze. Beautiful memories from the past kept appearing in Nakamura Oto's mind.

"What do the good times we had before mean to you?" Nakamura Oto murmured.

"If you insist on saying so, then it's seaweed~"

Fukuzawa Sakura answered without turning her head.

"..."

It was not until Fuzawa Sakura opened the door and was about to walk out that Nakamura Oto came back to his senses from his daze and yelled at Fuzawa Sakura at the door:

"Just wait for me!"

Finally feeling that Nakamura Oton had different emotions, Fukuzawa Sakura turned her head contentedly and continued to observe Nakamura Oton's expression.

However, this time, Nakamura did not give Fukuzawa Sakura the opportunity to continue learning about human emotions. Nakamura walked off the stage aggressively, walked up to Fukuzawa Sakura and asked:

"Why are you doing this to me!"

Fukuzawa Sakura couldn't understand the anger in Nakamura's words.

"What's the problem? I helped you get the success you wanted, and you helped me get the experimental results I wanted. It's a win-win situation. Why are you so angry?"

"You treated me like this, and you still ask me why I'm angry? Fukuzawa Sakura, do you have a heart?"

Nakamura Oto was already somewhat hysterical.

Fuze Sakura touched her heart, felt the beating of her heart, and said seriously:

"I have a heart, my heart rate is normal, my heart is healthy."

"you!"

Nakamura Oto was so angry at Fukuzawa Sakura that she was trembling all over and couldn't speak for a while. She just stretched out a finger and pointed at Fukuzawa Sakura angrily.

Fukuzawa Sakura waited for a moment, and when she found that Nakamura Oto's expression had not changed again, she turned around with some boredom and prepared to leave.

Nakamura Oto was still angry. Seeing that Fukuzawa Sakura was about to leave, he reached out and grabbed Fukuzawa Sakura's arm.

However, before Nakamura Oto's hand touched Fukuzawa Sakura's arm, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand.

"What do you want to do to him?"

A stern young boy's voice suddenly appeared beside Fukuzawa Sakura.

Fukuzawa Sakura looked up and saw a strand of orange hair fluttering in the wind.

It is the center of the Central Plains.
