Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

After exiting the game, Mi Ye blinked, then suddenly remembered that she was still in her dormitory.

The dormitory ceiling slowly emerged from the darkness, and a small patch of pale blue light peeked through the gap in the curtains from the glowing vines on the peach tree outside the window.

She removed the sensor ring from her forehead and quietly peeked half her head out from the gap in the bed curtains.

The situation outside was even more chaotic than she had anticipated.

Asase and Yoru were snuggled up on the bed next to each other, with Yoru's tablet computer propped up between them. The lamp was turned down to the lowest warm light, and the screen's light reflected on their two focused faces.

The tablet was displaying the main channel live stream of "A Thousand Stars Adventure," with comments still popping up, indicating that the live stream wasn't over yet.

Upon noticing the movement around Miya, Asase and Yoru turned around simultaneously, their gazes falling on Miya's head peeking out from behind the bed curtains.

"Are you awake?"

Asase pushed the tablet towards Yoru, then turned to look at Miya.

Miya's little mind reacted instantly, so she reached out and rubbed her eyes, and also messed up her hair a little, like someone who had just woken up.

"Just woke up... Hehehe, why aren't you guys asleep yet?"

Xiao Ye tilted his head, a small tuft of his short red hair sticking up against the pillow, and looked Mi Ye up and down, his tone somewhat worried.

"You've been sleeping for almost three hours. Are you feeling unwell?"

Miya waved her hand guiltily, climbed off the bed, and walked over to them in her slippers.

"No, no, I'm just a little tired from running around all day. I went to the hospital at noon and picked up a package in the afternoon. I was sleepy when I got back, but I feel quite energetic now."

"Hospital?"

Asase raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to visit a friend who's in the hospital; I'm going to bring her some things."

Mi Ye quickly changed the subject, then moved closer to Xiao Ye's tablet, pretending to be very interested in the live stream.

"What are you looking at?"

This tactic of changing the subject was very successful.

Asase turned the tablet around so that Miya could see it more clearly.

The live stream on the screen froze on a scene that Mi Ye was very familiar with: the banyan tree, the stage, the plaque that read "Pilgrimage Platform," and the golden sparks that had fallen from the fireworks still lingered on the deep red velvet carpet.

The main channel's director had clearly noticed the hottest topic of the night and was using slow motion to replay the exciting moments from the broadcast.

Miya's eyes widened as she saw the character model she had created clapping and making sounds in slow motion.

She is currently wearing pajamas, barefoot on the dormitory floor, looking at herself from a few minutes ago.

Asase, however, did not notice Miya's unusual behavior at all. He just pointed at the screen, and his voice sounded much more excited than usual.

"It's such a shame you were asleep! A newlywed couple went up to sing at the recording booth just now. One wore a white veil and the other a fox mask. Their collaboration was absolutely amazing, especially the one in the white veil; she sang so well!"

"And look, with the night view of Dengrong Street, with banyan tree lanterns overhead and fireworks behind you, the scene—oh my, I was thinking at the time that if you were awake, you would definitely like it."

"And you know what!"

Asase swiped her finger across the screen, bringing up another recorded clip.

"Hoshimachi actually showed up! She's the same Hoshimachi from 'Maya-shita'—the composer, arranger, and producer! She handled all three of 'Maya-shita's' original singles all by herself!"

"I've always loved listening to her songs. I was heartbroken for a long time when she left Mayo-ka, thinking she wouldn't be involved in idol projects anymore. But today, she rushed up to those newcomers at the radio station and said she wanted to be their manager!"

"Upon hearing this news, the live chat exploded! Hoshimachi is making a comeback, a new team, a new direction! With her creative talent combined with these two incredibly promising newcomers, this new group is definitely worth watching!"

Asase now had the expression of someone who had been suppressing her expectations for a long time and finally found an outlet, a stark contrast to her usual expressionless demeanor as she carried her katana out of the dormitory.

Miya silently complained in her heart that Asase's rejections, besides Nyanko-sensei, might also include Hoshimachi.

"Oh, right, I have something to show you."

Xiao Ye, who was standing next to her, also pulled out his phone from under his pillow, opened the photo album, flipped to a screenshot, and handed it to Mi Ye to see.

On stage, the black-haired girl in the fox mask is standing on tiptoe, placing her hand on the shoulder of the girl in the white veil, and the two of them are simultaneously making a peace sign at the camera.

Xiaoye held her phone up next to Miye's face. The fox-masked girl on the screen and the light blonde girl off-screen were close together. She looked left and right at the screen and then at Miye, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"Miya, look, doesn't this person look a bit like you?"

As she spoke, she took her phone back, examined the screenshot carefully, and then laughed at herself.

"But her hair is black, and yours is light blonde, and you were sleeping the whole time, so I guess I was just overthinking it."

Miya wore a smile on her face, but in her heart, alarm bells were ringing wildly.

Xiaoye, you usually seem so lazy and carefree, how come you have such a sharp eye for observation?

Miya subtly took a half-step back to prevent the light from the tablet from shining directly on her face, then tilted her head and spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone.

"Really? Let me see—hmm, it does look a little similar, but with masks on, everyone looks pretty much the same, right?"

Xiaoye hummed in agreement, then turned his attention back to the tablet and continued discussing the details of Hoshimachi's comeback with Asase.

Asase said that if Hoshimachi's new group releases an original single, she will buy both the digital and physical versions.

Xiao Ye was counting on his fingers, calculating which streamers who had already been revealed in the first test were worth paying attention to, and even said that Mi Ye needed to catch up on her studies.

While the two were engrossed in their discussion, Miya quietly took a few steps back and crept to the bathroom door.

"I'm going to take a shower first, you guys can take your time watching."

Asase grunted without turning her head, and Xiaoye raised the cola in her hand as a gesture.

Miya closed the bathroom door, leaned against the door, and let out a long sigh.

She unbuttoned her pajamas, turned on the shower, and hot water poured onto the tiles, quickly filling the bathroom with rising steam.

Next, I wet my hair, squeezed out some shampoo and lathered it up, rubbing it while recalling the thrilling moment I had just experienced.

Xiao Ye is indeed not to be underestimated; he was almost recognized right there in the dormitory.

However, Asase said that she was heartbroken for a long time when Hoshimachi left Mayoshita. She had no idea about this before. Asase never mentions these things, but she was really touched today, which is why she said so much.

Miya rinsed her shampoo off and then remembered the little ghost singing on stage.

Asase said the scene was as beautiful as a fairyland, and Miya agreed wholeheartedly. She had been wondering what the little ghost would look like, but she didn't expect it to be so beautiful, with such an ethereal aura.

Miya chuckled.

To be honest, the image of Little Ghost looking at the starry sky back then really resembled March Summer. But now that I think about it, Little Ghost sings enthusiastically every day in her live streams, while March Summer is clearly a patient who is out of breath even when walking. Where does she get the energy to sing?

...Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore!

Miya was also tired after a long day and didn't want to think too much, so she found the recording she had just watched on Mikufans and let the little ghost's singing echo in the bathroom. She couldn't help but sing along for a couple of lines.

"Crossing the stars and the sea, I've come to your side~♪"

"La la la~♪"

……

Outside the bathroom door, Xiaoye and Asase heard the noise, so they turned off the video, then tacitly turned on the recording, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
