Fuyume Hanamura Idol Story 1
ăŒThe Yumenosaki Academy library, two years since the establishment of ES.
Are there any fairy tales here�
Oh, the shelf over there is the section for picture books and stuff?
(Ah, she was right. Yume recognises a bunch of the books over here.)
(Theyâve got a good selection to choose from but the categorising is a mess. Theyâre just randomly thrown onto the shelf without any care for alphabetical order or release date.)
(Oh wellâŠapparently no one has any love for fairy talesâŠ)
(âThe Little Mermaid, âMomotaroâ, âTale of The Bamboo-Cutterâ, âSnow Whiteâ, âUrashima Taroâ, âCinderellaââ)
(Oh! It might not be the one Yume was looking for but heâs in the mood to read Cinderella today.)
(This story is another one that Yume adores.)
(Itâs a tale about love being rewarded.)
Fuyume: âŠ? Hm? Oh, uhm, youâre that nice person from earlierâdid you need something?
You were so kind to Yume earlier, so heâd be happy to give you some company.
Huh? The Yumenosaki Academy library is off-limits to anyone that doesnât work for or attend the school?
How could you tell that Yume isnât a student here?
Ooh, cause Yume isnât wearing the uniformâŠ?
That makes senseâŠno biggie, Yume will be sure to wear the school uniform next time.
Yume is really good at sewing, so it wonât be a problemâŠfufu âȘ
Huh? Thatâs not the issue?
Yume doesn't like anything youâre saying right now.
Here he was thinking you were a nice person.
Fuyume: Huh? Yumeâs name is Fuyume Hanamura.
And you are? âŠAnzu-san? Youâre a graduate of Yumenosaki?
Youâre here at your old school to do some producer work, huh? It made you feel nostalgic so youâve been walking around the groundsâŠ?Â
Oh, is that the case? HmmâŠâȘ
Then, arenât you and Yume in the same boat? Yume goes to a middle school separate from Yumenosaki and youâve already graduatedâŠright?
It sounds like neither of us are allowed to be here.
Let's work together then, okay? If you pretend you never saw Yume, he wonât go around yelling, âThereâs a trespasser in here!â âŠâȘ
What do they call it? A contract, business, bargaining? Letâs do something like thatâŠâȘ
If youâre willing to comply, Yume will leave you be. He isn't particularly interested in you anyway.
Yume is just here to read some fairy tales.
Fuyume: Huh? Did you need something else? You want to know what Yume is reading?
Ehehe, youâre interested in fairy tales? Sounds like we can get along.
Ehehehehehe. Yume is just reading a picture book about the massively popular princess, Cinderella. Though, he actually wanted to read something else.Â
Maybe youâve heard of it? For some reason, no one in Japan knows about itâitâs a fairy tale about an amethyst.Â
Even if you donât know the story, maybe youâve heard this quote before?
ââThe amethyst broke into pieces.â
Fufu. I guess you havenât heard of it. Oh well.
Basically, itâs a story about an ordinary girl that comes across an amethyst that can grant any wish that she desires.
In fact, she actually fuses with the amethyst and becomes a crystalised-human of sorts.
Itâs a curse put on her by an evil witchâŠehehehehe âȘ
The plot is kinda similar to âThe Happy Princeâ. Actually, something like âArabian Nightsâ or âThe Monkeyâs Pawâ might be a better match.
After transforming into the wish-granting amethyst, the girl wishes for her crush to pay attention to her, or to become better friends with peopleâ
With each little wish she makes, the amethyst uses its power and gradually begins to crackâ
AahâŠâȘ Eventually, her body becomes so fractured that it crumbles away and she loses all of the love and friends that she had been granted.
Her loved ones view her like a monster and chase her away in fear.
After everything, the final wish she makes isâ
Fuyume: âAh, wait, Yume thinks you should read it for yourself to find out what happens next. Spoilers are a crime!
Ehehe. If thereâs one thing Yume can say, itâs that he empathises with the amethyst girl and even admires her.
At the end of it all, the final remaining piece of herâ
Becomes a ring that showers the wedding between her best friend and the one she loved in joy.
After everything, her final wish isâwait, oops, Yume just realised how much heâs spoiling. Heâs really really sorry.
You donât mind? Really? Youâre super kind, you know?
Ehehe. You see, Yume shares the same wish as the girl who became a ring.
â-âI wish for your life to be full of joy.â
During her final moments, the girl whose selfish asks led her to break apart used her last wish to bring someone else happiness.Â
Ehehe. Yume doesnât have the power to grant wishes but heâll do everything he can to achieve that too.
For example, Esu goes to Yumenosaki so Yume snuck in to watch over him in secret.
It depends how you define âloveâ but yep, Yume loves Esu.
But it's sad, isn't it? The reality we live in isnât a fairytale.
âThe amethyst already shattered long ago.
