Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 424 Offline Secret Fencing
"Really? Anyway, don't work too hard. If you need my help, just let me know."

When Xia Fan thought that the Hoshina Hanami in front of him was no longer the real her inside her body, his smile became a little forced.

"Mr. Xia actually cares about me so much. I'm so touched! If there's anything I can do to help, there are indeed some..."

But Hoshina Hanami obviously misunderstood his micro-expression and took Xia Fan's arm like a spoiled child.

"Ah? What is it?"

Xia Fan asked curiously.

“When I think about standing alone on a stage as big as the Kanda Festival and singing a new song, I get so nervous…”

"It just so happens that I heard that your AFO group will also be performing that day. Why don't you come on stage with me, Xia Jun, and sing "Fireworks" together?"

"Anyway, we already agreed to sing together, right?"

Half of her little face was hidden in Xia Fan's sleeve, and Xing Minghua's eyes moved like a cunning fox.

"Ah? I am indeed going to perform at the Kanda Festival, but we are going to sing together on stage, and S Club is..."

This sudden proposal left Xia Fan stunned.

"Oh, Xiaohuajian, you've given Xia Jun a hard time... Why would S Company, who came here to play the theme song, agree to this kind of cooperation..."

Tachibana Ryoko, who knew the rules of the entertainment industry well, couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard her request.

Hoshina Hanami's suggestion is not without reason.

As a "popular idol on the surface", Xia Fan now has far more fans than Hoshina Hanami, and his singing ability is also incredibly strong.

With him on stage singing together, both the popularity and the singing effect of the song will be better than that of Hoshina Hanami alone.

But given S Company's attitude towards Xia Fan and the relationship with the Burning Department, it would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Promise her..."

"People who are 'replaced' by the Yunwai Mirror, except when facing the mirror, usually continue the host's obsession and perform positive and positive behaviors. Hoshina Hanami's suggestion is probably due to his special feelings for you and his ambition to succeed."

"Using this excuse, Mr. Xia Fan can get a chance to make direct contact and test the situation, and perhaps get more information about Mirror Sky..."

"Don't worry about anything else. Section 9 and I will support you in secret."

Just as Xia Fan was considering how to decline politely, the voice of Aoi Jinguji came from the headphones.

"I'm sorry, I was too willful just now..."

"Okay, it's settled. Let's sing together on the stage of the Kanda Festival."

Just when Xing Minghua was a little disappointed and was about to withdraw the invitation, Xia Fan agreed with a firm look on his face.

"What? Xia Jun, do you know what you are talking about?"

"S Company and AFO Group have even rejected the plan to release a song together. How could they agree to let you sing on the stage of the theme song with the artist of the Burning Department and steal the limelight from their own company? Isn't this a 'stage NTR'?"

After hearing his words, Higashino Yoshihide, who was standing at the door and watching silently, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Don't worry, Uncle Higashino, I'll take care of S Company."

"Well, Hanami, you must rest well these few days. I will need your guidance in the subsequent practice."

After giving a look to Higashino Yoshihide, Xia Fan turned around and spoke seriously to Hoshina Hanami.

"Mr. Xia is willing to support me. I feel full of strength and I will be discharged from the hospital soon!"

Having never expected Xia Fan to agree, Xing Ming Hanami looked at him passionately, her little face flushed with rosy red.

... "I've agreed to sing with you, but what are you going to do next?"

Coming out of the ward, Xia Fan breathed a sigh of relief and asked Jinguji Aoi who was waiting in the corridor.

"During this time, Section 9 will provide backup and keep an eye on Hoshina Hanami's whereabouts."

"I'll leave the positive information probe to Lord Xia Fan. You must make full use of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn about the situation of 'Mirror Sky'."

"It is important to note that before confirming a complete method of exorcism, you must not rashly stimulate the Yunwai Mirror and repeat the mistake of Mingri Yihua."

Jinguji Aoi pulled him to the stairwell and whispered.

The other victims controlled by the Yunwaijing may have known that they had been exposed, and no matter how Lesson 9 asked their family and friends to test them, they did not reveal any information about the "Mirror Sky".

This time, Xing Minghuajian's "mirror" was unaware that she had been exposed, and with Xia Fan, a powerful psychic, personally coming out to test her, this was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"I understand... No matter what, we must find out the situation of 'Mirror Sky' and let Hanami recover herself..."

Looking back in the direction of the ward, Xia Fan's eyes became extremely determined.

……

At 11 o'clock that night, at Shinjuku Prince Hotel.

Iijima Yozo sat up from the bed in high spirits, his waterfall-like black hair falling along his surging curves.

"Hmph... You're so young, but your health isn't very good."

Lighting a thin cigarette, she glanced disdainfully at the drunk, skinny young man beside her.

This person was a member of another group under her command. They were also close friends in private and would play poker together from time to time.

“So many missed calls?”

Picking up the phone, Yozo Iijima found more than a dozen missed call records, all from employees of the agency team.

"It's me... Is there something urgent? I was busy just now and didn't hear you..."

Knowing that these old employees usually wouldn't call her during their "personal time", she called back out of curiosity.

"I'm sorry, Big Sister... Because you asked me to pay special attention to Xia Fan's public opinion, I disturbed you during the break..."

"Xia Fan? What happened to him?"

Hearing the name "Xia Fan", Iijima Yozo frowned slightly.

"It's like this. Since this morning, Xia Fan has started to talk about 'CP hype' again. But this kind of fencing topic has never stopped among those rotten girls, so we didn't pay much attention to it..."

"But the popularity of that topic has been rising all the way, and just now it has entered the top ten of the hot search list..."

"The key words are, 'Master Kazama and Captain Hijikata are fencing offline.'"

On the other end of the phone, the staff reported carefully.

It has been more than two months since the final episode of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" was aired. Although the ratings of the series have slowly recovered during this period, the popularity cannot be maintained due to the limited audience base...

But with Xia Fan's outstanding performances in the "Idol Birth Festival" program, the final episode in which he participated was also repeatedly found and "excavated" by new fans.

Among them, some of Xia Fan's fans became the fresh blood of the "Fengjian School". The fan group of the "Tufeng Sword School" which was considered to be "evil" flourished again and its composition became more and more complex.

And just in the early hours of last night, an unknown trumpet released a close-up video clip of Xia Fan and Sakamoto Xiu "biting each other's ears" and "whispering" on a bus...

This caused the members of the Tufeng Sword School, who had been using "old spellcasting materials", to have a collective climax and started discussing it with great interest. The topic of "Young Master Kazama and Captain Hijikata's secret offline fencing" continued to rise in the dead of night.
