Ai, who easily fit in with the group, caught the attention of Ichigo Saitou. He approached her, interested in recruiting her for B-Komachi. However, due to her young age, Ichigo had to make a significant payment to a woman at the facility to act as Ai's guarantor and sign the contract on her behalf.
Shortly after, Ai was warmly welcomed into B-Komachi by Ichigo. It was then revealed that the captivating visuals that fans were admiring were actually being filmed for the movie "15-Year Lie." After the scene was completed, Kana, Mem-Cho, and Akane engaged in a discussion about how much of the script could be based on reality. While Mem-Cho and Kana had their own theories, Akane believed that approximately 90% of the story was true.

In the subsequent chapter of Oshi no Ko 131, the focus shifted to Aqua Hoshino, who found himself face to face with his maternal grandmother, Ayumi Hoshino. Ayumi confessed her deep affection for Ai and expressed her desire to reconcile with her in the future. However, she also revealed that there was a compelling reason behind her decision to stay away.
Ayumi Hoshino's envy towards her daughter stemmed from her exceptional beauty. In the past, Ayumi had been in a relationship with a man, intending to establish a life together through marriage. However, the man became unduly captivated by Ai, Ayumi's eight or nine-year-old daughter, sparking deep-seated concern within her. Discovering this disconcerting truth, Ayumi's anger towards the man intensified, accompanied by a growing jealousy towards her own flesh and blood. As a consequence, her family disintegrated, leading to Ayumi's subsequent arrest for minor thievery.
Following her release from prison, Ayumi deliberately distanced herself from Ai, determined to ensure her daughter's well-being and safety. In light of this, Ayumi expressed gratitude to the universe, particularly to Aqua, acknowledging that she did not believe she deserved the opportunity to meet her grandson.

Upon leaving Ayumi's place, Aqua unexpectedly encountered Akane Kurokawa, who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival. Concerned for Aqua's well-being, she had taken it upon herself to discreetly monitor his activities in the rural setting. Despite her efforts to gather information on Ayumi Hoshino, Akane had come up empty-handed. Consequently, Aqua and Akane jointly decided to return to the city.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am captivated by the latest chapter of Oshi no Ko, which delves into the mysterious past of Ai Hoshino. The chapter titled "Atonement" finally sheds light on the haunting history that has shaped Ai's character. Through the "15-Year Lie" film production and Aqua's confrontation with his grandmother, we are given a glimpse into the dark secrets that have tormented Ai.
The revelation of Ai's past is both heartbreaking and enlightening. We learn that she was abandoned by her mother and raised in a facility. Her desire to escape her troubled life leads her to Tokyo, where she is discovered by Ichigo Saitou and recruited for B-Komachi. However, the truth behind her captivating visuals is far from glamorous. The scenes being filmed for the movie are a reflection of her traumatic past, and the discussion among Kana, Mem-Cho, and Akane highlights the fine line between reality and fiction in the story.
