Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

"To be honest, we should be putting all our time into making games right now."

"What's the point of this kind of event?"

"And that crime warning..."

"Leave the crime warning to me," Shotaro said confidently. "Don't let my good looks fool you." He struck his signature hat-adjusting pose and said, "Protecting people is what I do best."

"Wouldn't it solve all the problems if I just resigned from my identity as Kazamatsuri Meihisa?"

Moriguchi Momanoko exclaimed loudly.

But at this moment!

"It's your turn, Yaku." A staff member approached and reminded him.

"I really can't take it anymore." Moriguchi Momanoko tensed up again, grabbed the staff member next to her, and started crying.

"Where...where is the producer?"

"Don't say that."

A staff member encouraged them, saying, "A huge crowd of spectators is waiting for you, and Wang is here too..."

"You should know that Ms. Wang and Ms. Wakana are usually very busy, right?"

"We absolutely cannot let them down since they've come to participate in this event."

Moriguchi Momanoko, who was crying and making a fuss, was taken aback by what she heard, while the audience was also shouting loudly:

"Bujiu, Meijiu!"

"There are so many people!"

After watching, Shotaro couldn't help but worry for Moriguchi Momanoko. Could this tech-savvy female programmer handle the stage? However, at this moment, Moriguchi Momanoko had changed her attitude. She stood up, straightened her clothes, took the magic wand, waved it stylishly, and then walked towards the stage with a gradually firm look in her eyes.

Inside the guild hall.

"Mejiu! Mejiu!"

The audience cheered even more excitedly, the stage lights came on, and the audience immediately stood up.

"I'm coming!"

The host appeared in the spotlight and said enthusiastically, "Welcome to the Monster Golden Kingdom Third Anniversary Celebration."

"first!"

"Please turn your attention here."

She pointed to the large screen, which displayed a battle scene featuring Kazamatsuri Meiku:

"The Demon Princess Descends. 893"

"Release the magic."

"Demon Realm Whirlwind Slash!"

Finally, on the screen, Kazamatsuri Megumi smiled and said, "I'll come find you right away."

The host then announced, "Next up is a huge surprise."

Then, Kazamatsuri Megumi burst out of the screen and leaped onto the stage.

"Ya-Ku jumped out of the screen."

The audience cheered excitedly.

The host introduced, "The super idol of the Monster Golden Kingdom: Kazamatsuri Megumi!"

"Good evening, everybody!"

"Moriguchi Momoe said sweetly."

The audience went wild instantly.

"Meiji has appeared!"

Moriguchi Momanoko then began singing the game's theme song. Not only did she sing beautifully, but she also knew how to engage the audience. Her every move was in sync with the music, and she frequently interacted with the audience, stirring their emotions.

The audience went even crazier.

"That was really exciting!" Shi Mo, watching Moriguchi Momoe's performance from the sidelines, couldn't help but comment. Wakana, standing next to him, raised her chin and said:

"It's just so-so."

"You're nowhere near as good as me."

"Stop joking, your popularity has been gone for a long time." Saeko sneered. Wakana wanted to refute it, but she couldn't because it was true.

Finally, she could only pout her little mouth in a huff.

Since she officially became Lu Chen's woman.

Its popularity has dropped considerably.

After all, many of them are male fans.

If Cai had a man, and it was none other than Lu Chen, the king, people would certainly not dare to have any other thoughts, and a decline in popularity would be inevitable.

But Moriguchi Momanoko is different.

Still single.

suddenly!

Shi Mo lowered his head, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen asked with concern when he saw this.

There was a disturbing sound.

Shi Mo answered through gritted teeth.

At this moment, as the theme song reached its climax, an actor dressed in a monster costume walked onto the stage. According to the original plan, there should have been a short battle performance segment here.

But unexpectedly, just as the monster actor raised his weapon, preparing to fight Moriguchi Momanoko, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

A dark shadow flashed by, knocking the weapon from the actor's hand, and both actors fell to the ground.

Shotaro looked up and saw a bee-shaped hybrid flapping its wings as it descended from the sky.

"It's a dopant!"

"Shotaro Satoshi exclaimed in surprise."

"The time for sanctions has come." The dopant fired a needle, knocking down the speakers next to the stage.

"Fuji Meiku——!!!"

It said viciously.

At this point, the audience below the stage sensed that something was amiss.

"That's not a character from Monsters of the Golden Kingdom," someone muttered.

"No...don't kill me!" Moriguchi Momanoko said in terror as she looked at the hybrid in front of her.

Her words, carried through the microphone she wore, echoed throughout the venue, instantly igniting panic among the audience. Akiko, who was in the audience, quickly stepped forward to direct everyone to leave:

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Shotaro Sato rushed onto the stage, shouting as he ran, "Stop!"

"Don't get in my way!" the hybrid said contemptuously, casually throwing another needle, pinning Shotaro to the wall on the side of the stage.

Then, it approached Momoe Moriguchi.

"Momoko!" Akiko cried out in alarm from the audience.

At this moment, Moriguchi Momanoko looked at her trembling self in the eyes of the hybrid with horror, and heard the hybrid's mocking voice in her ear:

"Let me give you a good test and see if you have the skill outside of the game."

With that, it grabbed Moriguchi Momoe, flapped its wings, and flew into the sky.

"Look forward to what's coming next!" it announced loudly in mid-air.

"I won't let this guy get away with this anymore." With that, it grabbed Moriguchi Momanoko and flew away amidst her screams.

At the same time, a long-absent system notification sounded in Lu Chen's mind...

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first meeting with Mihara Mutsuo! You have received two gifts!!!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the Mihara Mutsuo character gift - T2 Giant Pulse Dragonfly Memory!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the Mihara Mutsuo character gift - T3 Giant Pulse Dragonfly Memory!"

"Honestly, why cause trouble at a time like this?" With her good mood ruined, Wakana, who was already dissatisfied, became even more unhappy.

"Anyway, let's get out of here first."

"Shotaro will handle it well."

Lu Chen smiled and said, remaining quite calm about the sudden turn of events, after all...

This was expected.

Wakana and the others nodded in agreement, and then the group left the scene with the NEVER team led by Daido Katsumi.
