Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 280: I Will Help You, Sora Well, this....

Lucas Reeve had a lot to say, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say. It was a good thing he hadn’t revealed that he was, in fact, Lucas Reeve right from the start. Otherwise, he would never have known that Sora was hiding such a secret in her heart. Tsk tsk...

In the future, if Sora found out that he was actually Lucas Reeve, she’d probably die of social embarrassment again, wishing she could crawl into a hole in the ground.

Since it had come to this.

Lucas Reeve decided not to expose himself. After all, a girl’s pride was important. He would just obediently be an unfeeling wish-granting tool. He’d pretend he didn’t know anything.

”Uh... I’m sorry, that wish might be a bit difficult.”

Lucas Reeve waved the teddy bear’s small hands, saying regretfully.

Sora had naturally expected this, so she wasn’t too disappointed.

After all, if Bailey really did grant her wish and brought Lucas Reeve here, Sora would instead be completely at a loss.

”I’m sorry, could you please make another one?”

”It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Sora quickly waved her hands.

After chatting with Lucas Reeve for a few sentences, Sora’s earlier tension gradually dissipated. She pulled up the strap of her nightdress that had slipped off her shoulder, then tugged at her slightly messy skirt. She sat down on the carpet next to the bed in a cute ’duck sit’ pose.

Sitting up straight, she was just in time to make eye contact with Lucas Reeve, who was standing on the bed.

This teddy bear wasn’t very tall.

It was bigger than Little Moti, but not by much, only about the size of a regular backpack.

”Uh... actually, Bailey, I used to fantasize about what I would wish for if I got a magic lamp one day and the genie could grant me several wishes. When I was younger, my wishes were to be able to appear on the big screen, to hold my own concert, and to find someone I like. But these wishes... I seem to have achieved them all... So, for a moment, I don’t know what I should wish for.”

Sora clasped her hands together, resting them on her lap.

”It’s okay, I can wait.”

It was similar to Jessica back then; she couldn’t think of any wishes right away.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably, without any hesitation, wish for a lot of money, enough to last a lifetime. If they made such a wish, Lucas Reeve wouldn’t be surprised. But after fulfilling the wish and collecting the Prayer Power, Lucas Reeve would definitely retrieve that soul fragment, unwilling to let his fragment follow such a person any longer.

”Um... Bailey...”

Suddenly, Sora said slowly.

”Did you know? I used to really want to be an idol. Because my dream was to become an idol, to bring happiness to every fan, to infect every fan with my energy. But...”

”Lately, I’ve suddenly felt... a bit numb.”

”Numb?”

Lucas Reeve listened intently. This was basic respect.

”Yeah.”

”In the past, when I wasn’t very famous, even if something went wrong with my performance, my manager wouldn’t say much. She cared about me. I didn’t have much pressure back then. I could freely show my best smile to my fans. But... I can’t seem to smile lately.”

As she said this, Sora’s expression gradually darkened.

”Why?”

”Because as my fans increased, the negative comments and malicious comments online also increased. There were even a lot of rumors. And, I often get followed by some fans on my way home from the company... Also, the parent company above mine seemed to have noticed my value and replaced my original manager-sister. They assigned someone else to be my manager. She is very strict... and often makes me shoot commercials I don’t want to shoot. As for my usual regular activities with my fans, she has strictly forbidden them.”

Sora said a lot. Having someone to vent to was always better than keeping it all bottled up inside.

After she finished, Lucas Reeve generally understood.

It was a typical example.

Although Lucas Reeve didn’t understand the so-called entertainment industry, the gaming industry next door had similar situations. For example, a game studio makes a great game, it blows up, and it attracts the attention of the parent company. Then, the parent company will directly let other studios that specialize in making money take over the game. Then, this studio will use any means necessary to make money. To them, the game is just a tool for making money. As for the operations, if it dies, they just make a new game.

Idols were similar.
