My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

"You're kidding me, I can't handle that." Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. It would be better for him to get a massage himself than to have Kagurazaka Ayame give him one.

He came empty-handed today, without bringing anything, because the musical instruments had already been placed here at the venue. Dengeki Bunko's grand gesture is truly impressive, with their publicity efforts reaching the maximum.

I reckon that if you randomly picked a primary school student from the street and asked them, they would know that there is a band performing at the Budokan. Even a world-class band might not get this kind of publicity.

It would be quite difficult for Dengeki Bunko to achieve this with its financial resources, which made Dongfang Bai involuntarily suspect that his hometown might have secretly carried out some kind of publicity campaign, otherwise how could they have such a strong publicity campaign?

If it weren't for the ban on posting small advertisements indiscriminately, the walls and streets would probably be covered with them.

However, the vast majority of those who came to the performance were his fans and after-school tea party enthusiasts, and there were even a considerable number of Chinese people mixed in. If you looked outside the venue now, you would see a very interesting scene.

Two Japanese people were asking for directions from a Japanese person who looked like a Chinese person, speaking in Chinese.

"But you are really amazing. You are the only writer who can write novels to this level."

Kagurazaka Ayame couldn't help but sigh. She simply couldn't imagine that the gem she had found among a pile of text garbage submitted by newcomers could shine so brightly.

In the blink of an eye, she became a top celebrity in the Japanese industry. This transformation made her wonder if she was dreaming, as it was too bizarre.

Just as the two were chatting, the door to the preparation room was suddenly opened.

"Oh no! Editor Kagurazaka, something's wrong!!"

"What are you doing? Why are you making such a fuss? Shizuka, didn't I tell you before that you should stay calm no matter what happens? You shouldn't panic..." Kagurazaka Ayame waved her hand dismissively and took a sip of water with a relaxed expression.

"The power's out! It might affect the later performances!"

"Pfft...! Something really bad has happened!! Shiro, I'm going first!!! Don't wait for me, don't worry, everything will be fine!" Kagurazaka Ayame's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"..." Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. The person who was just telling others not to panic was now the most panicked one. So this guy is completely unreliable. Why did he even choose this older single woman to be his editor in the first place?

"What happened to the power outage?" Dongfang Bai ignored the editor who had already lost his composure and looked at the staff member next to him. She was a new editor who had recently joined the company and was also in charge of this performance.

"Ah, yes! It's the backup power supply that's malfunctioning, causing a power shortage. It'll probably be several hours before the power is restored, which won't be enough to support the high power consumption of the venue..." This was the first time the new editor had spoken directly to Dongfang Bai, and he was trembling with nervousness.

Is the man sitting in front of her really Mr. Yakumo Haku himself?! The closer you get, the younger he seems, and his good looks are ridiculously high!

"I see..." Dongfang Bai stroked his chin. Actually, this matter wasn't unsolvable. He happened to have brought a helper with him today.

……

"This should be it, right? As expected of a martial arts gym, even the power room is so well-equipped." Dongfang Bai said with admiration. The problem now is the lack of power, and they have to supplement the power supply from the outside.

And right next to him was a portable power bank.

"Kanna, please."

"Oh!" Short-legged Kanna raised her hands. Although her face was expressionless, her slightly flushed cheeks showed that she was very excited.

She is a dragon, and a 'Thunder Dragon' at that. All the food she ate in the human world was converted into electrical energy and stored in her body. Now she needs to help her recharge a little to get through these few hours.

sizzle...

Kanna gently placed her small hand on the charging port, and the deep blue current flowed into the port through her fair hand. Dongfang Bai watched as the battery level began to rise rapidly and sighed in amazement.

That's an incredible amount of battery power, enough to power the clubhouse for several hours. But for Kanna, that's just a drop in the ocean; she can accomplish it with ease.

"Thank you! I'll treat you to a big meal after my performance."

"Mmm!" Kanna nodded, the dragon horns on her forehead swaying gently with her little head, and the fluffy pom-pom tail on her back also began to wag. She was in a very good mood.

"Strange... how come it can move again?" Kagurazaka Ayame rushed backstage to check the situation, only to find that the power was working again, leaving her completely baffled.

What the hell? She went through all that trouble to run downstairs, only to be told that the instrument was displaying an error. Was this some kind of joke?

"Ah... cough cough, Xiao Jing, you see? When you encounter a problem, you have to stay calm, and the problem will naturally be resolved properly. This is a principle that your senior taught you."

"Yes." The new editor, called 'Xiao Jing,' covered her mouth and answered while trying not to laugh. This senior colleague was just too funny, and she couldn't control her laughter at all.

After the power issue was resolved, time quickly passed to an hour before the performance began. The girls from the Light Music Club arrived one after another. Even Hirasawa Yui, whom Dongfang Bai was most worried about, arrived at the Budokan on time.

Although they all looked very nervous, especially Hirasawa Yui, whose way of jumping up at the slightest sound was really too funny.

"Is there any need to be so nervous? Everyone has been practicing diligently for a month already, haven't they?"

Dongfang Bai looked at the expressions of the group and couldn't help but laugh. For the past month, their light music club had been practicing from beginning to end, and they hadn't even had tea more than a few times. It could be said that everyone was extremely serious.

Because this is the Budokan, a dreamlike performance venue, a musical mecca that countless bands yearn for. This is the moment for them to showcase their martial arts. Anyone would be incredibly nervous stepping onto such a stage for the first time, right?

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of audience members inside the venue and tens of thousands more waiting outside. They could feel the presence of such a large group of people waiting for their performance as soon as they entered the venue.

"Isn't it all Shiro's fault? He suddenly said he was going to perform at the Budokan. I think we've been pretty calm, haven't we!"

Nakano Azusa's tone was somewhat resentful. If she had been told earlier, they could have prepared in advance. Instead, she was told this news suddenly. Do they know how confused they were at the time?

"Isn't this just to give everyone a surprise? Besides, the ultimate goal of the Light Music Club is the Budokan, right?" Dongfang Bai shrugged.

This wasn't a surprise, it was downright horrible! Everyone thought to themselves in unison.

"Hoo, ha, hoo..." Akiyama Mio had been taking deep breaths ever since she entered the club. She kept writing the character '人' (person) on her arm, then opened her small mouth, trying to swallow her entire arm.

Even the usually carefree Ritsu Tainaka was no better this time. She held two drumsticks in her hands and banged them in the air, occasionally hitting her own leg and screaming in pain.

The only one who could remain calm was Lady Kotobuki Tsumugi. However, she was not as composed as usual today. She sat upright on the sofa, and this time she really looked like a noble lady.

"You've practiced for so long, isn't it all for today? Cheer up." Dongfang Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, clapped his hands, and pulled everyone's scattered thoughts back. If he didn't pull them back, they would all be so nervous that they would lose their focus.

"That's right! Okay, this time we must make this concert our best ever!" Ritsuichi Tainaka pinched Mio Akiyama next to him, then suddenly stood up and spoke with righteous indignation.

Completely ignoring Akiyama Mio, who was clutching her waist and convulsing on the sofa after being pinched by her.

"Ritsu! Ouch, that hurts!"

"Wait a minute!! Mio, look, you're not nervous anymore, are you?!" Tainaka Ritsu watched as Akiyama Mio stood up with a dark expression, her forehead instantly covered in sweat, large beads of sweat slowly sliding down her cheeks.

"Huh? Ah, you're right." Akiyama Mio took a closer look at her fist and realized that she was indeed much more relaxed than before, and didn't seem as tense as she had been at the beginning.

"Right, haha, you should thank me!"

"Yes, thank you so much, '150'!"

boom!

With a muffled thud, Dongfang Bai calmly looked at the small bump that had appeared on Tainaka Ritsu's head, feeling a surge of laughter, but he still managed to suppress it.

"Anyway, just do your best," Dongfang Bai said, encouraging everyone.

"Shiro-chan, don't act like it's none of your business. You're going on stage later too, right?" Hirasawa Yui recovered the fastest among everyone, her nervousness dissipating in an instant.

"I'm still a little nervous..." Nakano Azusa clutched her chest, her expression somewhat stiff. She was very familiar with the Budokan; top-tier bands that she usually only saw on TV performed here, and today she was actually stepping onto this stage herself.

This was a great honor for her, and of course, it was also an honor for the Light Music Club.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Think about how nervous we were at the school festival when we were in our first year of high school. This is nothing."

"The school festival in the first year of high school..." Akiyama Mio's relaxed mood turned gloomy again. She leaned her head on the sofa, her face full of a lifeless expression. She seemed to be recalling some embarrassing memories.

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. If you can't speak, then don't speak. Team Leader Lu is now completely encouraging us from behind.

"How about this, if this performance is a great success, I'll treat everyone to a big meal afterwards?" Dongfang Bai suddenly suggested, holding up one finger.

Normally, no one would fall for the trick of offering a lavish meal to fool a child, but the members of the Light Music Club did, especially Hirasawa Yui, whose sparkling eyes seemed to already see the scene of the lavish meal.

"Great!! Good luck at the after-school tea party!"

"Ohhhhhh!" The group put their hands together and made a standard cheering gesture.

"We'll have tea after the performance!" Hirasawa Yui suddenly interjected, drawing everyone's attention. It made sense, as they hadn't had any time for tea at all this month.

"Okay, let's go for tea right after the performance!"

"I brought Belgian royal chocolates this time, they should go great with black tea." Kotobuki Tsumugi perked up as soon as the topic of tea came up, her little face beaming with a cute smile.

"Then, come up on stage."

……

Cheers and screams from the audience filled the air, yet it didn't feel noisy. The stage, which was two or three meters high, had audience members scattered in all directions, and a huge screen reflected the situation on stage.

Budokan, a sacred place for music, has tens of thousands of spectators even in its inner halls. At this moment, it seems as if the light of the whole world is gathered on the stage, and colorful lights illuminate the entire stage.

The audience was below, and the band was on stage.

At this moment that everyone was eagerly anticipating, the members of the Light Music Club appeared on stage in their exquisite and sparkling performance costumes. With their appearance, the already cheering audience was instantly ignited, and waves of sound surged one after another.

"Amazing..." Hirasawa Yui's eyes were shining. She suddenly felt her heart beating faster and her blood burning. Everyone felt the same way. Their bodies were uncontrollably excited.

"Hoo." Akiyama Mio took a deep breath. She was wearing a black dress, and her long black hair was adorned with a small hat with a dark blue ribbon. With her light makeup, she was incredibly charming.

A determined glint flashed in his dark, bright eyes, and then he cupped the bass in his hands.

Hirasawa Yui and Dongfang exchanged a glance, Hirasawa scratched his cheek somewhat embarrassedly, then coughed lightly twice, picked up the microphone, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Hello everyone, we are! After-school! Tea Party!!!"

She was met with countless cheers.

"Now you don't have to worry about being ignored if you stay in the back, right?" Dongfang Bai chuckled and said quietly. Ritsu Tainaka scratched his head awkwardly.

That's no joke! With such a big stage and only six of them, even if she wanted to hide, she couldn't.

"Old thief Yakumo~~"

"Damn it..." Dongfang Bai's face darkened. He saw the words "Old Thief Yakumo" spelled out in large characters with glow sticks at the back of the audience seats, and he couldn't help but shout out a sentence in Chinese.

But soon he revealed a helpless smile and waved to the audience. This gesture made the fans realize that Yakumo Shiro had seen their actions, and they immediately became as excited as children.

"music!"

The moment those words were spoken, a bright silver light pierced the darkness of the audience seats, then gathered on the people on the stage, so bright and sparkling.

Boom boom boom! The moment Ritsu Tainaka struck the drum kit as the signal, Mio Akiyama grabbed the microphone and stood at the very front to speak.
