She paused, "Then I started thinking... is it just because I have no talent, just because I was born into this family, that I am destined not to have a life of my own?"
"I thought about rebelling against my destiny. But I couldn’t do that. If I say that maintaining the status quo, I am merely an ’invisible person,’ then after rebelling, in my father’s eyes, in the eyes of my family, I would be nothing but a ’dead person.’ That’s far more terrifying than being invisible."
"So, I never rebelled."
"There was a day when I even thought about jumping into the ocean. However, just then, I saw the figure of Magical Girl Ash on TV."
You Minglu listened silently, sipping his Coke through a straw.
Amemiya Sakura continued, "Ash was truly different from other magic girls, independent, stirring up discussions among people shortly after she appeared. Many disliked her, denigrating her, saying things as if they wanted her to vanish from this world, but she never changed herself, living as if she wholeheartedly followed her own ideas."
"At that time, I greatly admired her unrestrained by the world, not bound by the gaze of others, and then thought, maybe I could also be like her, maybe I could try rebelling once."
Hearing this, You Minglu was slightly taken aback.
She thought to herself, sister, guess when you first saw Magical Girl Ash on TV, how old she was... She couldn’t have been in the sixth grade of elementary school, seeing a primary school student as a life mentor is really something.
Thoughts aside, she dared not say that, so she hesitantly asked.
"So... did you become a magic girl?"
Amemiya Sakura said, "Yes, I became a magic girl. During that time, my greatest joy each day was to turn on my phone and flip through to see if there were any new stories about Ash. Then one night, the shard of wisdom within me suddenly awakened. At that time, I hadn’t thought being a magic girl would be so exhausting, so I was so happy I didn’t sleep all night."
Speaking of this, she sighed self-deprecatingly, "Looking back, it was really tough in the beginning: I had to go to school, undergo family training, attend social functions, and only in the dead of night could I transform, slip out of my room window, and catch a breath of fresh air."
Speaking, Amemiya Sakura propped up her chin, her eyes swirling with thoughts.

"Back then, I often played atop Tokyo Tower, I liked flying under the night sky dyed with neon lights, watching those tourists in the exhibition area pointing and shouting at me. For the first time, I felt ’seen’... no longer an ’invisible person,’ I was seen."
"Later, I learned from Ash, kept my identity hidden, and joined the Tokyo Magical Girl Alliance, attending school by day and fighting criminals by night…"
"Afterward, I discovered that I unexpectedly had talent, making my journey as a magic girl smooth sailing, and I made a name for myself in the Japan Magical Girl Alliance."
"As you can see, I even became such a representative figure, and after that, I formally revealed my identity to my family. They were shocked at first, but gradually they started to take me seriously."
She suddenly curved her lips, "So... in a sense, Ash changed the course of my life. Without her, I certainly wouldn’t have taken that first step."
As her voice fell, silence briefly enveloped the two of them.
Amemiya Sakura sipped her Coke without continuing the conversation.
"So that’s it." You Minglu broke the silence, pondering thoughtfully, "I’m sorry, I had some misunderstandings about you before, that was my fault." Enjoy new tales from Freewebnovel
"It’s okay, I understand your views about me. Many people think that I became the spokesperson for the Japan Alliance because of the power of the Amemiya Family, but actually, I never relied on my family’s power."
As Amemiya Sakura spoke, she suddenly smiled and clapped her hands, changing the topic, "So, can you arrange a meeting with Ash so I can talk with her?"
You Minglu was stunned for a moment, thinking she had indeed fallen for this woman’s trick.
She shrugged her shoulders, aware it was a trap but nonchalantly said, "Perfect, she’s been looking for me."
