FATE: Target of Grand Master

Dinner was spent in a collective chorus of praise for Morgan.

As a king, Morgan should be used to praise, but he was unusually embarrassed by the compliments and quickly said that most of the credit was due to Xia Yan's guidance.

Perhaps this is the difference between the feeling brought about by insincere flattery and genuine praise.

Since no one was cooking today, Xia Yan volunteered to do the dishes.

After washing the dishes, Xia Yan sat comfortably on the sofa, drinking the black tea brewed by Morgan and enjoying Musashi's shoulder massage.

I never expected that there would be such a peaceful way in the Master Trial. I don't have to worry about my safety all the time, and I don't have to use my brain to scheme and fight. Although it is not easy to turn Euryale into the most popular idol, this long-lost feeling of peace makes Xia Yan feel a little intoxicated.

Once the tension in his nerves relaxed, drowsiness washed over him like a tide. Xia Yan unknowingly fell backward onto Musashi, startling Musashi, who quickly checked Xia Yan's breathing.

"It's alright, she just fell asleep."

Musashi carefully pulled himself out from between Xia Yan and the sofa, then gently laid Xia Yan on the sofa.

When Xia Yan woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Because Xia Yan slept too soundly and missed breakfast, Musashi and Cú Chulainn went out together and brought some back.

While eating breakfast, Xia Yan opened several major promotional platforms, and sure enough, Yuri Ellie's single appeared on the homepage's recommended spot, and its popularity soared.

The reviews under the single were almost entirely positive.

"This heavenly voice is like the song of a god!"

"Holy crap! This is so good! Forgive my lack of vocabulary, but I can only say 'holy crap' to get through the rest of the song. This song is just so good it's indescribable!"

"My adorable Euryale, Mommy loves you!"

Xia Yan switched to the idol popularity ranking page again. Yuri Ellie, whose popularity value was 0 yesterday, has gradually increased to 552. She is less than halfway to reach the 1000 popularity value required for the first performance. As long as she releases two more cover songs tomorrow and the day after, reaching 1000 popularity is a sure thing.

After sharing this good news with Euryale and Miss Tsuru, the two were also very happy.

"From now on, Euryale, you are a public figure. You must be careful about your words and actions, and also be careful not to have overly intimate behavior with the O-P."

Miss Crane reminded Euryale once again.

"I know."

Euryale was very unwilling, but she knew that only if she became the most popular could everyone leave together, so she had no choice but to endure it.

"Leave the arrangements for Euryale to me. After all, I am nominally Euryale's manager, and I can't put that pressure on Miss Klein anymore."

After two days of research, Xia Yan discovered that the rules of this world were much simpler than those of the real world. Despite his lack of experience, he still took the initiative to assume the responsibilities of an agent.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Master. I still need to continue making spirit clothes for Euryale."

Miss He looked noticeably haggard after not getting enough rest for several days.

Although he knew Miss He might not listen, Xia Yan still said with concern, "Miss Klein, you should also take care of yourself and get some rest."

"Don't worry, Master Producer. I'm going to see Euryale shine on stage in the costume I made!"

"So, what should I do next?"

Euryale was very happy that Xia Yan had become her manager. Although she had to be patient outside, she didn't need to be in this villa.

Morgan had set up a spell on the entire villa, making remote filming impossible. If anyone dared to get close, Cú Chulainn would intervene and cast a memory-erasing spell on the paparazzi.

So as long as she doesn't leave the villa, Euryale can still be herself.

"Although it might be better to schedule some exposure in the next few days, our goal is to speed things up, so we still need to focus on studying our competitors."

As he spoke, Xia Yan pulled up the information about Tamamo Cat that he had collected and compiled from the internet.

"Let's start with the good points. Tamamo Cat is outgoing and very interactive, her kemonomimi (animal-eared girl) attributes are also very appealing, and she even knows some magic tricks. All these factors combined have earned her a lot of popularity. However..."

Xia Yan changed the subject.

"Her shortcomings are also quite obvious. In terms of singing and dancing skills alone, she is not top-notch, and she often performs based on instinct. Moreover, the number of works she has produced so far is not large."

Finally, Xia Yan gave a summary.

"I think you can definitely beat Euryale with your solid singing skills, but you also need to learn some of her interaction techniques. You can't always have that arrogant attitude of being a goddess and everyone else being just ordinary people. Approachability is also very important."

"Okay."

Euryale stood in front of Xia Yan, turned around, and her white dress fluttered. When Euryale stopped, a flawless smile appeared on her face. Then, she slightly lifted the hem of her dress with both hands and bowed, completely dispelling Xia Yan's concerns.

Xia Yan might have been worried because he got to know Euryale well and realized that she was actually a mischievous little devil at heart. But don't forget, Euryale is a goddess known as the "perfect girl." When it comes to putting on a show, she has a whole repertoire of tricks up her sleeve.

"How is it?"

Euryale playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Perfect!"

Xia Yan gave a thumbs up.

"In that case, let's take a look at the previously recorded performance videos to familiarize ourselves with the process."

And so, Xia Yan led Yuri and Ellie through watching all ten videos of the first round of performances, with Tamamo Cat's performance accounting for more than half of them.

In the following two days, two more of Euryale's songs were released, further boosting her popularity. The three songs even topped the new song charts on major music platforms, and fans were asking on many forums where they could see Euryale's performances.

During this period, Xia Yan deliberately avoided arranging for Euryale to go out, and instead spread the news on various forums that Euryale would soon be performing on the first round of public performances.

This news instantly ignited various forums, and Xia Yan began to systematically guide and build a fan club, increasing anticipation for Yuri Ellie's first performance.

"I'm done!"

With a popularity score of 1846, Yuri Ellie successfully completed the rehearsal for the performance with Xia Yan's help. After returning to the villa, she saw Miss He running up to them with a newly made spirit costume, looking very happy.

Without saying a word, Miss Crane pulled Euryale away to change her clothes.

A moment later, Euryale, dressed in a beautiful white long dress, came out.

Unlike her previous long dresses, this costume, named Mirage, features a bold design with cutouts and lace trim. A diamond-shaped cutout is cut out at the front of the abdomen, and the dress splits at the thigh on the side, making Euryale's fair skin appear and disappear.

The combination of white silk with a hollow design and a black bow gives Euryale a touch of sanctity and sexiness, and a touch of cuteness. Xia Yan can only describe it as perfect.

As expected of a legendary tailor, her skill level is truly exceptional.
