3rd person POV

It's been a few months since Ai has returned to being an idol, and B-Komachi hasn't begun their steady rise in popularity yet. Unfortunately due to that pay hasn't been good. "My pay this month is 200,000 yen. This agency sure is stingy with money!" Ai complained to Miyako, who was working at the dining table. "The single we just released hit #3 on the Oricon charts, didn't it? Aren't the middlemen taking too much?" She continued. 

"Too late to be complaining, no? Big companies have the funding to do everything from production to distribution, unlike them, we're a small player. Besides you accepted this knowing that profits are slim." Miyako explained to Ai.

"I've finally come to realize how the world revolves around money."

"That's a depressing realization."

"Being an idol is fun, and I wouldn't mind living like this if It was only me," Ai explained as she picked up [Name] and held him above her, "But I want to give my kids a good life, have them go to good schools, let them take extra lessons and so one. If I want that to happen I've got to sell better and earn as much as possible, don't I? With how things are now, I won't be able to make them happy." She finished looking into [Name's] eyes with sadness. 

Small tears started welling up in his eyes at Ai's declaration, when she put him down he immediately snuggled into her lap, hoping to reassure his mother that everything is fine and they would always be happy as long as they still have her. "I wish that I could've gotten some job offers for a commercial or film...maybe if I was with a major agency..." She said, eating some ice cream. 

"Well first you could start by laying off the expensive ice cream," Miyako suggested. Ai sighed and moved [Name] off her lap and onto the sofa. She got up and grabbed her thing, "I'm heading off to my lessons. Be good for Mama okay?" She smiled waving at her children as she left the apartment. 

When the door shut Ruby quickly asked Aqua, "Don't Idols usually make like one million Yen a month?"

"Far from it," Aqua replied shocking his little sister. He explained to Ruby how Idols get paid and what happens if a concert doesn't sell much merch. "Only a select few manage to make one million a month." He finished. Ruby went on ranting about how unfair it was for idols to be treated like this, but then she went off into creepy territory again. 

"You know, if all Idol creeps could start offering Ai their livers for us to sell." She started a dark look on her face, "That's messed up." Aqua interjected. "You should stop thinking like some post-apocalyptic religion leader," he added. [Name] was still on the sofa thinking about ways how to set his plan into action. 

[Name] POV

'What do I do, oh what do I do? Preventing Ai's death would alter the course of this story drastically obviously...but what if it didn't? What if no matter what I do to prevent her from opening the door she still ends up dying one way or another.' I think to myself. 'There are many possible outcomes if my theory is true, she can either unlock the door and then open it, the stalker could break-in, he could kill her sometime during or after the dome concert, the possibilities are endless! Not to mention he doesn't have to be the exact person to kill her, she could get hit by a bus or something, wait but then what about Hikaru's plan?' I keep on thinking until I end up confusing myself. 

I need to be on high alert when we turn 4 in order to keep her from dying, maybe I should do something about Hikaru as well? I should try to somehow implement the idea that he's harmful so that she doesn't even think about contacting him, of course, Ruby and Aqua wondering about who our father is lead her to have contact with him. If I want to keep this family together I need to root out the problems at the source!










Ruby and Aqua.


"Come one [Name], it's your turn to get dressed." Miyako announced as she picked me up from the sofa, startling me. I squirmed around in her arms not wanting to change my outfit. "Eh? Clam down it's not like you'll die." She said trying to calm me down, I refused to listen and kept on fussing and squirming not wanting to go anywhere, all I need is more time to figure things out, not an outfit change! 

"Fine, I'll just put a sweater over you. If I keep trying to change your clothes we'll all be late for Ai's mini concert." Miyako muttered under her breath. 'I'm so stupid!! How did I forget that we're supposed to go see Ai peform tonight?!' 

I kept still and let Miyako put a sweater over me, she too out our triplet stroller and loaded us in one by one. She took us outside to the car and sat us in our individual carseat before driving off to the place. When we got there she took us out and put us in the stroller again so we could go inside. 

Ruby kept fan girling about the promo event and mini concert just like I remember seeing in the anime and manga, Miyako bent down to remind us about keeping quiet and not causing trouble. She put a pacifier in our mouths to make sure of it as well. 'Even though I'm a literal baby it still feels humiliating.' I thought to myself as I opened my mouth to let to pacifier fall out and hit the dirty floor below. 

The lights dimmed and the stage lights turned on. "Today, we have 3 members of B-Komachi with us!!" 

Ai and the two other Idols started performing 'Sign wa B', the same song that was first performed by Ai when she got back to being an Idol. She doesn't look like how she normally does this time, her eyes are shinning as brightly. Those comments on twitter really got to her, now that I'm in the world for real and as her child...the scenes are hitting harder than it did back in my world. Should I join my siblings in their dance or not? I'm not even meant to be here, Aqua and Ruby are the only children Ai should have. I shouldn't be allowed to take part in the main story, I shouldn't get involved. Ai is mean't to love Aqua and Ruby only, I was never supposed to be apart of this.

I shouldn't exist in this world, maybe if I die instead of Ai the story will set back to it's original plot...That it!











The one way to save Ai and not have her die at any point in the current timeline, the only way to keep her here for everyone isn't Aqua and Ruby.













I'm an error in this world...
