I don't want to be an elf!

The person who was announced as the winner was herself.

"This guy... is trying to put me in a very difficult position."

Miku Izayoi doesn't believe that Pedra didn't go to see her.

Clearly, Pedro hadn't found her, but still decided to award first place to her.

While this may increase discussion and give bored netizens something to argue about, it can easily backfire and become a prime example of infamous marketing, forcing her to bear the brunt of criticism.

On a stage where all the girls aspiring to become idols are fighting tooth and nail for the opportunity, she made a domineering entrance, snatching the first place that the other girls treasured, and didn't even show up at the awards ceremony, as if she disdained such glory.

They carelessly discarded the trophies that the girls had fought so hard for, treating them like trash.

This is clearly something many people cannot tolerate.

As expected, a glance at the comments section revealed that many people were questioning Miku Izayoi's attitude.

Some fervent fans of other idol groups even believed that it was Miku Izayoi's appearance that prevented their idols from winning awards, and they made sarcastic remarks in the comments section.

Miku Izayoi squinted her eyes, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

She really didn't expect that Pedro would still award her first place even though he knew she wouldn't be attending the awards ceremony.

This is an open conspiracy.

The decision to award the coveted first place prize to someone who was unlikely to attend has sparked outrage among netizens.

If she doesn't come forward to clarify, this will be the biggest stain on her idol career, and no matter what achievements she makes in the future, people will bring this up again.

If she decides to come forward and clarify, it will play right into Pedro's hands.

In the video, Pedora, announcing the competition results, has a kind smile on her face.

But in Miku Izayoi's eyes, no matter how she looked at it, that smile seemed cunning.

"They actually used two schemes to force me out; that's quite a feat."

Miku Izayoi, however, did not become angry or embarrassed.

After all, the fact that Pedra would take such an extreme measure for someone as insignificant as herself also proves her importance in her heart.

And Miku Izayoi can take advantage of this.

Her original plan fell through because she couldn't control someone with too much star power, and she was worried about what to do next.

Pedrola's actions gave her an opportunity.

"Although I didn't plan to meet her so soon, the original plan didn't work out, so the plan needs to be changed a bit."

Miku Izayoi found the contact information for the chairman's secretary on the website of Aoi Eun-wi Children's Academy.

"Since she wants to see me so much, let's give her a chance."

----------

That afternoon.

A high-tech car, hovering above the ground, entered the entertainment district and stopped in front of the Knights Women's Association headquarters.

The car door opened, and a woman in a white-collar uniform got out of the car with her secretary.

Taking off her sunglasses, the woman, exuding a mature air, surveyed the building before her with a half-smile on her face.

“I never expected that Princess would be hiding in a place like this. No wonder we couldn’t find her on Yaoguang Star,” Pedra said. “If she hadn’t contacted us herself, I don’t know when we would have met again.”

This floating city was built by six integrated conglomerates, and nothing that happens in any area can escape their notice.

But Pleasure Street is different; it's the only area that even the Hexagram Guards are unwilling to set foot in.

If I had to use a metaphor, this would be the black area of ​​a six-pointed star.

Kidnapping, assassination, banned drugs... too many shady things happen here every day.

Nobody wants to put their hand in here.

Because if one is not careful, the secret hidden here will be exposed to the light of day, causing unnecessary trouble.

And these secrets, if investigated further, may be related to the six major integrated corporate conglomerates.

With a tacit understanding between them, the conglomerates turned a blind eye to the entertainment district, making it one of the few areas in the entire Hexagram that were not under their control.

“However, I really didn’t expect her to be connected with the gangs in Pleasure Street. I guess you can’t judge a book by its cover?” Pedra’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “The Knight Women’s Association… if I remember correctly, that’s a group that’s connected to the Rewolf Black.”

"Yes, Chairman, so please do so within my protection limits."

The secretary warily scanned her surroundings, her gaze sweeping over each member of the Knights of the Night as if an enemy might leap out at any moment: "Our relationship with the financial group behind Rewolf Black, [Yang Xue], isn't exactly good. If this is a trap for you..."

"You're overthinking it. Yang Xue's decision-makers aren't stupid enough to attack me; it's pointless."

Pedra was completely unsuspecting and even somewhat impatient.

After receiving the news that Miku Izayoi was willing to meet with them, she canceled all her afternoon meetings and official duties and rushed over without stopping.

Although she didn't know why Miku Izayoi was hanging out with people from the Reiwolf Black Academy, it didn't really matter.

Since Miku Izayoi took the initiative to contact her, it means that the other party also wanted to negotiate.

Even if she doesn't, Pedrora will offer her a deal she can't refuse.

Even if the other party really is from the Reeves Black Academy, or even has a connection with Yang Xue, she is determined to poach this person.

Allowing an idol of this caliber to stay in the Raeworth Black Academy is not only a waste of talent, but also a loss to the entire world.

"Excuse me, are you guests from Quenwei Children's Academy?"

A girl who looked very innocent and cute, and who seemed somewhat out of place in this place, walked towards them.

“Yes,” Pedra replied.

"Then please follow me."

The girl gestured for them to proceed.

"Lady Miku is waiting for you."

Chapter Seventeen: The Private Life of Idols

Pedrora and her secretary went to the top floor of the building.

She arrived at the door of a bedroom and knocked.

After waiting for a long time, the door still didn't open.

However, the door was not locked, and after receiving no response, she pushed it open and went inside.

The sight that came into view made them pause in surprise.

The girl, dressed only in a thin nightgown, lay surrounded by swallows and orioles, like a fairy among a hundred flowers.

Large swaths of snow-white skin were exposed outside, and the girls gathered together intimately. Some held grapes, others held sliced ​​apples, serving the girl in the very center who was resting her head on the laps of the others.

Upon seeing this, Pedra's eyes twitched a few times.

As for idols and people in the entertainment industry, she's seen far too many who act one way on stage and another off stage.

However, when she saw Miku Izayoi on stage yesterday, she still had some expectations.

After all, she is a genius whose appearance and strength are no less than Sylvia's.

But unexpectedly, the disillusionment came so suddenly.

However, she wasn't too disappointed. Compared to other hobbies, lesbians were arguably the most harmless.

After composing herself, she deliberately coughed loudly a few times to indicate that someone had come in.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

The girl on the bed stopped playing with the others and looked at the two people standing in the doorway.

Although it was an apology, there wasn't much remorse in the tone.

"Let's go out for now, girls. We'll continue the game later."

After letting the girls leave, Miku Izayoi stretched and then slowly got out of bed.

With a shift in the light, her pajamas transformed into stylish casual wear, and she sat down on the sofa in the room.

Although it's still not suitable for a formal interview, it's at least much better than the pajamas I was wearing earlier.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Izayoi. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing that Miku Izayoi was finally ready to talk, Pedro went over and sat down opposite her.

Her secretary stood silently behind her.

"It wouldn't be accurate to call it our first meeting. I believe we already met at the gymnasium," Miku Izayoi said casually. "However, I don't really want to see you guys. Do you know why?"

"Of course, I'm not proud of my methods."

Facing the slightly aggressive Miku Izayoi, Pedra's expression remained unchanged, maintaining her professional smile: "After all, if we don't use some extreme methods, it's very difficult to even see you."

"Well, I suppose you're prepared to bear my dissatisfaction?"

Miku Izayoi slightly raised her swan-like chin, as if she was thinking about how to get revenge.

A moment later, as if she had come up with a good idea, a smile appeared on her lips.

"I've heard there are quite a few pretty girls at the Quinvé Girls' Academy. If you could introduce me to a few, we'd be even."

When she heard her request, Pedrora was momentarily stunned.

However, the stinging sensation in her brain quickly brought her back to her senses.

Just now, it was as if there was some magical power in Miku Izayoi's voice, making people unconsciously want to obey.

A glint flashed in Pedra's eyes; a guess had finally been confirmed at that moment.

Yesterday, after Miku Izayoi left, she went to ask each of the backstage staff why they had let her in.

However, she received the same answer every time.

I agreed because I was asked to.

These are all long-time employees who have worked in the stadium for over a decade. No one is more professional than them, so it's impossible for them to do something so unwise.
