That Time I got Reincarnated as Son of an Idol

Ai Perspective

I want to know why this could happen...

I thought this happened when I heard from Ichigo that I received an offer to make a cameo appearance in a show. It didn't seem to be a cameo that caught Ichigo's attention, especially when the show was a small one and I had more important work to do at the same time. However, there was one thing that caught my attention about those shows. 

One of my twins, Aqua, was also performing at the same time. Which made me very interested in making a cameo appearance in that show. If I think about it, the two of us rarely perform together to avoid mistakes that could make our secrets public. 

No, it's not that we rarely perform together. We actually only appeared together once, when Aqua made his debut as an actor and I appeared as a supporting actor in a movie directed by Taishi a few years ago.

In the past, I've always tried to spend my time with my kids, and to be honest, seeing them grow up even just a little always makes me a little teary-eyed. 

I wonder if this is a feeling a mother often feels. 

Anyway, when I heard that I had the opportunity to perform in a show with my son. Of course, I was eager to perform with Aqua.  

"Oh, I'd like to take this job..." I said those words to Ichigo, who had a bewildered face. 

"Eh… But… this kind of cameo is a little unnecessary… Also, we had more important jobs at that time."

"I don’t care about that… I want to take this job… or I don’t feel like doing anything…" I said it in such a slightly threatening way that it made Ichigo face defeat…

In the end, Ichigo let me take those jobs. But on that day, the one who would be with me was Miyako. To be honest, sometimes I wonder why she is still doing this kind of job. I mean, her side jobs or a lot of her investments paid off big time. 

I think her game name FG/O was released and was such a big success. Then it seems that she also made a program called V-Tuber, which will debut in the near future. I think Miyako uses a name almost similar to mine, Kizuna Ai or something like that...

As Ichigo told me, appearing as a cameo in a show like this is not a difficult thing and doesn't really require a lot of time. However, I'm very happy to be appearing together with Aqua. 

I think this can be a good memory for my family. Then I also get to see Aqua act live. Seeing him perform like that sometimes makes my feelings a little complicated. Aqua really resembles his father in terms of looks, even though their attitudes are vastly different. However, when acting, they feel very similar to each other.

"Ah, he looks at me…" I waved my hand when our eyes met each other. Also. he waved back at me before going back on his stuff. 

"Hm… Isn’t his serious look really cute…"

"Geez, please don’t do anything too much. Interact naturally and minimally with him. When you take a job like this... there will definitely be people who will gossip on the internet… Especially, when there's been a big scandal lately… People really like this kind of stuff after all…" 

"Are you talking about the scandal about the idol who was found out to have a boyfriend. Even her video had been released to the internet. That’s really horrible." 

"Yeah, that’s horrible, and if people knew about you… they would be more crazy about their speculation…" 

Miyako spoke about the truth while reminding me about what has happened lately and, of course, asking me to be careful. 

"Yes… I will be careful…" 

"How about we go to the room they've prepared..." 

Un, even though I only made a cameo appearance. With my fame, they gave me great hospitality.

"Yes…" I replied while humming happily and following Miyako to the room.

However, it wasn't long before we reached the room. I seemed to hear a bit of commotion, and it seemed that the idol I was talking to wanted to talk to me. From the message I got, she felt that I could help her with the problems she had.  A very small thing I can do. However, there were some things he said that honestly didn't make me feel good. At the same time, I don't think I can just let it go. 

To be honest, I don’t know how she could be here. Well, I think even though she is in trouble, she still has her way to do a little thing. 

And when I saw her… To be honest, I don’t feel good, as I feel like she would become trouble. 

Yeah, at first… our conversation was about if she was alright or something… before it started to become weird. 

Especially when she started to say what happened because of me or my plan to make her idol career such a downfall. It was such a blatant accusation. Well, it looked like, in her mind, I may be jealous of her rising, which is really familiar to me. 

That’s not true, but at the same time, her rising as an idol is very familiar to me. But even so, that’s not good enough to accuse me, right? 

The girl in front of me was so hysterical that she even brought out her knife out of nowhere. This is kind of seriously dangerous, right?

"This is all of your fault…" She said this while glaring at me with such hatred and resentment in her eyes that it felt like darkness itself. 

"Wait… Think about it clearly… There’s no way… I do something like that…" 

"Shut up!! You can do it… I knew that you and your manager had that girl over there… Hired a private company called Hayashi and observed many people!!! I don’t really care about my secret leak… But.. Haru… Haru is dead too… I can’t forgive you all!!" 

Wait, she said some stuff that I don’t know about that made me look away from her toward Miyako and ask her in confusion. 

"Miyako!?"

"Wait… I may rent those people, but I never try to pry into someone's secret…" Miyako herself looked confused, but to my surprise, she answered that she hired people, like a private company… to do something else behind my back. What are you doing, Miyako…

Because of that, I was distracted, and the girl took advantage of that by lunging at me. I, who was quite confident in my physical abilities, was still able to dodge the sudden attack, but because I was moving suddenly in shoes with a fairly high heel, I lost my balance.  

"Die, you bitch…" She once again attacked me… at that moment, since we were busy with our things, even I didn’t realize someone entered the room and jumped in front of me without any fear at all. 

It was a small kid that I knew very well… My small boy named Aqua took the knife that tried to stab me. 

It was an unbelievable scene that made the world feel like it was moving slowly. As his small body fell in front of me with a lot of blood and a knife in his stomach…

My eyes were glued on Aqua, and it looked the same as the girl… I think I heard her say something like, I want to kill Ai, not a child… kill a child…

While Miyako called the staff and an ambulance too. She was a quick-thinking woman, after all. As for me, I just came to Aqua…

"Aqua!! We’re calling an ambulance and a staff medic… So stay… strong…" I said that while grabbing his little hand, at that moment, I wished I knew anything about medical things… But I don’t know about that stuff, and it would be better if I left it to the more professional staff, as there are usually medical staff on sets like this.

"You'll be fine! Please!" I said those words... rather to Aqua, the words were more to reassure myself... The blood was still coming out, and it felt like his eyes weren't really focused... Aqua also looked like it was difficult to breathe… 

"Why… they took a long…" I wanted to bring him out of here, but I was afraid to make it worse. At that moment, Aqua stared at me… 

"Ai…" Even at this moment, he was still thinking about my own career and didn’t call me mother and such… 

"I’m glad you're fine… and safe…" He said, while his small hand tried to reach me…

"Yeah… I’m fine… and you will be too…" I can’t… I don’t think I ever cried, even when my mother abandoned me, but this… I can’t hold back my tears… I can’t… 

"Un… You don’t have to worry…. I… fine…" 

It wasn’t that long that medical staff came and took care of him before the ambulance took him to the hospital. Of course, I went with him. Even some medical staff encourage me to make sure that Aqua doesn’t lose consciousness. 

I tried my best, but to my surprise, Aqua always said that he was glad that I was okay and safe... not get killed by that woman.. 

I just don’t understand why he prioritizes me like that… I thought a lot while waiting for him as he brought to the operating room. 

I just don’t understand… How did he sacrifice himself for me like that?

He is glad that I don’t get killed, and without any fear or hesitation, he shields me from getting stabbed. He was in a dangerous situation, and maybe he got killed by doing so… 

Why?

For me, who has never and ever experienced someone projecting me like this… I don’t know… this feeling.

I don’t even know my father… My mother abandoned me… threw me out… 

But Aqua projected me… me… A mother who actually selfishly never told the world about him as one of her children because of her jobs. Who never said she loved him… 

Such an awful mother, but he didn’t let out a single sound of pain and comforted me instead… 

Yeah, I was an awful mother, and there was no love around me… or maybe I just don’t want to recognize it.

There was love… Isn’t that shown by Aqua’s action? The only thing he cared about at that moment was me. To save me… Do not let me get hurt…

He suffered and got hurt… or maybe died from it…

How could he do that…

Why did he go to such lengths for me, as if I had such a special existence for him. How did he give away all his… love…

"Hahaha… Yeah… right… That’s how it is… He is always willing, understands anything, and gives it all for me… That’s love." 

He loves me…

He treasures me…

Even though I cowardly never tried to give his love back…I even never say that I love him… 

That’s why please god… Please give me another chance to say it…I will do anything… 

It feels like my first time really praying to God with such sincerity, but when the doctor came out from the operation. His looks weren’t that good, which made me scared, and I jumped at him. 

"How… doctor? He’s fine, right?" I asked, but the doctor's reaction was just to shake his head and answer with the answer that I didn’t want to hear… 

"What are you saying, doctor…? Please save him… I will pay for everything... I will do anything... So please... please save him... I can even donate my blood if he needs it... His blood type... is the same as mine... Did he pass away?" I talked to the doctor, but his face became sadder and sadder as I was talking to him…

When I said that, it made my body lose all of its energy and fall to the floor. And in desperation once again… I pray to God. 

Please… Please give me my baby back… I will do anything… as long as my baby is back and this time… this time I will love him properly…

I love him 

I love him. I love him. I love him.

I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him I love him 

I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him 

I prayed to god… At that moment, I felt something… I don’t know why I feel a familiar voice and a familiar figure that I haven't seen for a long time, and he is already dead too. It was a figure with a doctor's attire, and he said that my baby would be fine. 

He was a doctor who was gone for a long time before I gave birth to my twins… Gorou. 

I don’t think he looked like someone who was alive and gone as soon as he said my baby would be fine. 

And so… I heard the nurse come to the doctor and say to him… 

"Doctor, the patient… the patient… he came back alive!!" 

 Ah… the god… answer my prayers.
