Competition

  This conception has always existed in human society, from the primitive era to the modern era. Everywhere you go, you can catch a glimpse of its presence. For example, in the animal world, the male has to show their prominent and attractive points to invite his partner. Like the peacock, it spreads its wing and feather's tail to show its might and prove its worth in the female peacock's eyes. It must compete with other male peacocks to get the female's attention. You can see competition everywhere in many species.

  Humans are no exception to this concept from the primitive era.

  This conception doesn't get erased but intensifies to the extreme in modern times.

  Since childhood, children have stepped into the competition called 'school', a mini-society. The ranking system is a double-edged sword because it was originally created to motivate children. Instead of a positive effect, it turned its edge against those inferior students. A healthy competition took a turn to be more toxic and unhealthy. Especially, those schools that pursued achievement.

  When they transfer to adult society, they will have to compete with other candidates to get a job from a certain company. Even when they get a job, they must compete with their colleagues to be promoted or keep their stable position. It can be said that humans can't escape from competition.

  Since it is a competition, there is always a winner and a loser. However, no one is willing to be a loser because it's human nature.

  Viliness of the game 'Solfacord Rhapsody' is created from this concept.

  'She's here, huh?'

  Sakura murmured, her eyes covered with a yer of frost.

  "Viliness? Nah~, she's just a loser bming others"

  "A mere tool from those corrupted scums"

  Witnessing the appearance of the self-procimed 'Viliness', Sakura's mind rewound the memories and knowledge about this character. She said that girl was a c*mpdupster but it wasn't wrong.

  According to the background story, her name was Kurabeji Meiko, a child from a middle-css family, yearning to be the greatest pianist. Carrying the hope and dream, she was crushed and shattered by the heroine of the world, Hoshiyuki Suiri. While she just practiced the pieces left by many greatest deceased musicians, Suiri has already come up with her own and made a name for herself.

  Comparing left and right, Meiko had no chance to achieve the result of her dream. Even she had to admit Suiri's talent in her heart.

  Unlike the safe and fair competition at school, the piano competition was even more ruthless than anything.

  Suiri occupied the champion's position for three consecutive years, and Charlotte was the runner-up. She only took the third pce. How could she be the greatest pianist? If it were a school competition, the third pce could be invited by many universities. Unfortunately, no one remembered the second and third pce.

  First, it has to be the first so your chance in the future could be opened.

  She both hated and liked the heroine, Hoshiyuki Suiri. She liked Suiri's talents and uniqueness but hated her because she couldn't keep in pace with her. The gap between them was as vast as the universe.

  Bming Suiri for being too good, Meiko was an insignificant figure in the music industry. Therefore, her desire and complexity became distorted. She became more and more impatient. She was thirsty...

  Meiko thirsted for power, fame, and other's recognition.

  After being differentiated into Omega, she took a path with no return. Just as you thought, a true c*mpdumpster was born. She realized that in the entertainment industry, talent was as insignificant as her existence. As long as you have retionship networks, you can achieve whatever you want.

  As an Omega, there always was a temptation from the dark side. In Japan, this matter became ordinary because the sex industry was recognized as a legal profession. They were open about sex. No one gave care because it was a matter of FwB (Friend with Benefit). I sleep with you and you give me what I want. The transaction was just as simple as that.

  Hence, Sakura said Meiko being a c*mpdumpster wasn't an insult but the truth.

  Now, Sakura understood this girl's mentality. Looking at the crowd, their eyes all locked on Hoshiyuki Suiri's figure instead of the Greatest Pianist in name.

  Kurabeji Meiko was famous, yes, but it was only in name. The audience didn't know how she could be famous but they had their ears. They could tell that Meiko's signature piece wasn't as good as Suiri's. Even though Hoshiyuki Suiri had transferred to the Rock and Roll genre, her mini piano piece in the album easily overwhelmed Meiko's in this life.

  Sakura could only compin that Suiri didn't even major as a pianist in this world but still easily suppressed Meiko. Who was to bme now?

  Soon, Sakura withdrew her attention. After all, this girl hasn't stepped on that path yet. Unlike the original, Suiri didn't participate in the third piano competition because Shimori Akane had given a bait to drag Suiri into her field.

  Of course, Kurabeji Meiko easily won first pce in the piano competition.

  She didn't know whether that girl kept the status of a c*mpdumpster or not. It would be better to raise her guard against this girl because she had no clue about those changes in the real world. After experiencing those outrageous butterfly wings, she would rather rely on reality instead of the knowledge of her past life.

  Kurabeji Meiko was a second-year high school student. She wasn't originally in this school but transferred in this year, so Sakura couldn't wash away the dirt of prejudice against Meiko.

  When pying the game, she first thought Meiko was also one of the heroines at the first stage. However, pyers unknowingly fell into her trap and helped Meiko steal Suiri's piece under the disguise of cking innovation. The naive Sakura handed them over and indirectly pushed Suiri into the bottomless abyss.

  Later, the game revealed that Meiko had slept with countless big bosses to get the opportunities to reach the peak of her life.

  Hinata, a former woman, also found it nauseous when witnessing this kind of woman.

  "So disgusting"

  Himeki excimed while walking out of the door with Hinata. Hearing the narrated version of her friend, Himeki couldn't help but want to strangle the author who could come up with such a plot. After experiencing many things, Himeki still found uncomfortable when listening to this kind of story.

  "The big bosses behind the girl want to sleep with the heroine but they don't expect her suicide attempt, huh?"

  Himeki understood instantly how dirty the entertainment world was.

  "Yeah, people die but they just felt pity when such a beautiful Omega passed away and can't taste yet"

  Hinata lowered his head in depression.

  "Shinonawa Charlotte and Otonashi Sakura are currently cohabiting with the heroine, Hoshiyuki Suiri. It's hard to approach her when another Alpha like me gets close to her"

  Himeki's hand held her chin, falling into a deep thought.

  "Shinonawa-san just now shot a death gre toward me"

  Himeki recalled the scene at the club. Her trick to approach Suiri was good but how could it pass through the eyes of the daughter of the Shinonawa family? As the same Alpha, she knew Charlotte's possessiveness.

  If another Alpha approaches Hinata, she will probably do the same.

  Meanwhile...

  Sakura had been in an observant mode. She realized Shinonawa Charlotte was extremely talented and excellent in many aspects. However, meeting Hoshiyuki Suiri, Charlotte suddenly dropped her IQ on several levels. She could tell the difference when Charlotte talked to her and when she was in the same environment as Suiri.

  Charlotte was like a virgin boy in Sakura's previous world.

  Sakura just now witnessed the mighty and cool Charlotte in the cssroom, but compared to the current Charlotte in front of Suiri, she looked so stupid.

  No wonder Suiri had so many anti-fans in school because one part of them was Charlotte's suitors.

  "Kukuku~, my rival, only you have to pretend not to know her"

  Charlotte smugly smiled and tried to catch a depressed expression on the other party. However, Sakura was not the original and had a third-person perspective so she could only compin that it was 'childish' in her heart. From Sakura's perspective, Charlotte deserved to stand by the side of Hoshiyuki Suiri. It was just that she was too immature.

  Her mission in this world might match them and eliminate future threats. However, life was unexpected. She could protect in high school, but what about University and Adult life? Sakura was in a dilemma so she decided to train Charlotte under the disguise of a love rival.

  "Is that so?"

  Sakura just asked back, revealing her sarcastic smile to stimute Charlotte. Seeing Charlotte losing her composure, Sakura felt speechless. Anyway, she couldn't ask and force Charlotte to have a mentality like her, an old woman more than 30 years old in a spiritual sense.

  "Hey, you!"

  A voice called out to Sakura, raising her vigince to another level.

  "Huh, are you calling for me?"

  "I don't know what do you need me to do?"

  Sakura looked at the girl, who wore a standard Stardust Academy uniform. Her long straight golden ptinum hair reached her slender waist, the red lycoris accessory y quietly on the side of her ears, and her facial features reached the standard of a heroine in this world, making countless pyers think she was one of the capture targets. Her emerald green eyes shone slightly, giving others a charming allure of an Omega.

  It was a pity that Sakura couldn't erase the pictures in her mind. 'Slut'. No matter how beautiful she was, Sakura couldn't easily erase the prejudice. Transmigrators had their own arrogance, and so was Sakura.

  "What's with that kind of look, junior? I remember that I didn't know you before"

  Meiko looked at Sakura's outfit. Seeing that she was a first-year student, Meiko was even more puzzled because she thought this girl realized her identity as a famous pianist. However, it was more wrong as time went by. She felt that the crimson-haired girl thought bad about her. Was she her anti-fan?

  "I'm sorry. It's the first time I've seen people wearing lycoris on the head. Especially, the red color..."

  Sakura understood the flower's nguage. A red lycoris represented the death fg of the main heroine, Suiri. The author had designed this girl to wear this ominous flower...

  "Ah, I understood. Junior, you watch too many tragedy dramas. But you're right..."

  "..."

  Meiko didn't speak as if it touched her sore spot.

  "Sorry, senior, if you feel uncomfortable, don't push yourself"

  Sakura let out an awkward smile. The depressed Meiko soon woke up, regaining her composure so she continued to ask. Without Meiko's expnation, she had already understood her past. Her obsession with the piano was quite extreme.

  "So, you're her fan huh, junior?"

  Sakura nodded.

  "As expected, more than half of the people today are all here for her"

  Meiko said in an unsatisfying tone. What was more unsatisfying was that no one recognized her identity; however, it couldn't be helped because Suiri was the purpose of her life.

  "No one is qualified to join this club today, even you!"

  "Ah, I'm sorry"

  "I'm sorry for my rudeness, you just pretend that you didn't hear anything"

  "???"

  Meiko said, leaving the club after handing in the registration form. Her green eyes flickered at the sight of our main heroine with twinkle stars. With that, she left the room immediately.

  Sakura was dumbfounded by the girl's outburst. This feeling...

  "An extreme fan?"

  Sakura murmured in her heart. She couldn't help but curse the author in her previous world. Damm you, how many hidden settings in the game you didn't show me? Was I not an investor?

  Now, Sakura was speechless because the characters in the game were all colpsed. The c*mpdumpster transformed into an extreme fan. She didn't know whether it was worse or better.

  Looking at the situation, Charlotte had left her sight and come to Suiri's side for a rescue. Knowing that Suiri was a social scumbag, Charlotte mediated the crowd with her strong Alpha aura.

  "Ah, so tired"

  Suiri heaved, walking to the teacher's office to hand over those registered forms to Akane. Akari accompanied Suiri, walking over the long road ahead. Behind them, Mizuno Sasaki secretly followed to watch out for her Oujo-sama, protecting her in the dark.

  "*Sigh*"

  Sasaki couldn't help but bme herself. Living without purpose, Sasaki didn't have anything when Suiri stood at a higher pce. She was poured a bowl of cold water on her head when she called for reinforcement from her close half-sister.

  In short, she suffered from heartbreak in love. The love that didn't even have an initiative point. Their family was just a messy pot that didn't have a single uniqueness. The Otonashi family and the Shinonawa family were at another level higher than she could imagine. Political means and struggles were linked in a complicated net that Sasaki, an ordinary member of the Mizuno family, couldn't interfere at will.

  Not to mention, her contract with the Hoshiyuki family held Sasaki back from taking any action. As expected from the head of the Hoshiyuki family, Shiori could see through the means of the Mizuno family. Since she could hire her; obviously, everything must have been investigated clearly.

  "Sui-chan, can I ask? I mean, Pgiarism..."

  Akari muttered up her courage and asked her Oshi.

  "Hmm...What's wrong, sensei?"

  Suiri titled her head, expressing her doubt.

  "Ah...It's nothing big...But I wonder where your inspiration came from?"

  Akari was a little hesitant. In the past 2 years, Suiri's lyrics lines were written under the influence of literature story. Even the kid stories, she would borrow to write them. Like the song Shoes and Star, it was written based on the story named 'Yodaka no Hoshi'. For the structure of the story, it was about the hawk having the mindset of a vegan. Due to its inferior complex of appearance, its kind isoted and drove him away. One day, it realized that it could survive due to its sughter of insect, countless lives taken away by its fang. Seeking a away for redemption, the hawk asked the sun to lead it away for not suffering this kind of torture but the sun said 'Let ask the stars'.

  Many songs were inspired that way so the big bosses of those literature department were very pleased with the existence of Hoshiyuki Suiri. In the original plot, her influence threatened their positions so the conspiracy was inevitable. It could be said that the path Hoshiyuki walking this time was protected by the plot arm...Ah, the butterfly effect and her great karma in previous world.

  As for Suiri, facing Akari's question, she couldn't answer immediately.

  "Sensei, do you know the mold in the entertainment industry?"

  Suiri asked back.

  "Mold?"

  Akari pondered for a moment.

  "Every trend has its mold. For example, manga nowadays abuse the reincarnation tempte"

  "In music, love is the general topic"

  Suiri hinted. Akari caught it as she cpped her hand in realization. As for the deeper meaning behind it, Suiri didn't need to expin and tell her about it. When writing about pgiarism, she couldn't link it to the previous experience so she had to look for something as a substitute.

  "So the album this time is about your sarcasm..."

  "Sui-chan, how can a child from rich family like you be an anti-social?"

  "..."

  Akari couldn't help but be worried about her student.

  "Because I'm free"

  The conversation was immediately terminated by our Heroine.

  "..."

  Akari didn't know what to say. Because she wasn't a producer, she could reluctantly accept Suiri's excuse.

  "Sui-chan!!!"

  A familiar voice called out to Suiri, who was walking to the parking pce.

  "Finally, we're alone"

  The blond girl panted heavily to catch up, and walking behind her was the tall crimson-haired girl.

  "No you're not alone, you idiot"

  Sakura didn't give Charlotte any chance, attacking mercilessly.

  "You! Shut up! Let talk about our business first"

  Charlotte frowned in anger but quickly returned to her silly smile.

  "It's time for us to date!!!!"

  Charlotte patted her chest, decring loudly. If it weren't for the quick hand of Sakura, the whole school would know about it.

  "Huh? Date?"

  Suiri was puzzled.

  "Okay, Hoshiyuki-san, it's like this when you were abroad st week..."

  Sakura ignored the idiot in love, Charlotte. She quickly expined their discussion and purpose. Because Suiri didn't know what love was, they decided to make an outrageous deal. They knew that Suiri was extremely passive. If she were left alone, she couldn't choose anyone. However, according to the deal of Suiri with her grandma, Suiri would engage with Sakura. It wasn't the result both of them would want to see. Sakura, who didn't have a slightest love for the heroine and Charlotte, who deeply fell in love with Suiri.

  "Huh? The three of us date at the same time?"

  Suiri was shocked by the two of them. How come? Weren't they enemies st week? Nonetheless, she also knew the whole situation. It was a mess created by her indecisiveness. Immersing in her music, she had forgotten about this matter.

  Feeling guilty, Suiri bowed her head in front of both of them.

  "I'm sorry"

  Suiri said.

  It would be a lie if she didn't have any feeling toward Charlotte. As for Sakura, she was an innocent girl dragged into this mess by Suiri. No matter who she would choose, one of them would be deeply hurt.

  "Woa~What? Sui-chan, you refused both of us?"

  Charlotte couldn't hold her mouth and said.

  "Yes...No...I meant another way"

  "Let me make it clear"

  Suiri sighed. Receiving the signal from them, she continued her speech.

  "Otonashi-san, I'm deeply sorry for you. You're an innocent outsider dragged into this mess by my indecisiveness"

  Charlotte's eyes went brighter when hearing this from Suiri. Sakura suddenly understood. It seemed that the heroine in this world had a feeling for Charlotte. Realizing her role hasn't been over, Sakura was unwilling to leave. At least, she should be stuck to her after the graduation. It would be strange if Suiri said she liked Sakura. However, her feelings for Charlotte were very subtle, including in the plot of the game.

  "It's okay because you didn't even know what love is"

  Sakura smiled gently, causing Charlotte's face ugly. Damn, this thick-skin f*ta.

  "As for dating, I don't have any idea..."

  Suiri was awkward because she was the person being pursued instead of pursuing others in her previous life. She was like a child practicing to walk on her own.

  "You can date each per week. At the weekend, Charlotte and I will take turn to date you, letting you experience the happiness of love"

  Sakura said so, her disobedient hands held Suiri's chin to look at her face. Sakura's pupil darted toward Charlotte's side, smiling smuggly.

  Wait a minute, why did Sakura act like a NTR antagonist?

  'Damn, I have already shot the bullet, I can only follow the shot'. Sakura cursed.

  'I'm not a NTR antagonist'

  'I'm not a NTR antagonist'

  'I'm not a NTR antagonist'

  Sakura repeated the sentence in her mind.
