Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

...What's going on here?

Chapter 123: If you’re going to do something, you’ve got to do something big!

...What's going on here?

The masked cat rested its long legs on Lowe's thighs, and opened its mouth with a leisurely look on its face, looking like a young lady who was ready to eat. Lowe scooped up a spoonful of cake and put it into her mouth.

At that moment, they saw the big cat narrowing its eyes with an expression of great enjoyment on its face. Liliae and Manchong were a little amused and helpless about this situation for a moment.

"Ahaha, I just promised Kamen-nyan a reward for participating in the script. There's nothing I can do about it. After all, Kamen-nyan has to sacrifice for the script, and this is also a necessary reward~"

After this was said, Liliae and Manchong naturally became more curious. What kind of role did Lowe give to make Masked Cat propose such an exchange condition?

"Let's keep this a secret for now. Although I'm not sure what the result will be, I guarantee that the stage effect will be absolutely unique. It will either be a great job or a complete failure~"

"… Ugh, is it that extreme?"

Liliae was also shocked by Lowe's words. It's either a great job or it's a complete failure. You don't even consider the in-between situation.

In a normal competition like this, shouldn't one aim to be the best, but just to keep a middle position or to advance steadily? Why did Lowe do the exact opposite of what is normal?

This can only mean that the way powerful people think is completely different from that of ordinary people...

All I can say is that Lowe participated in the gorgeous competition with the goal of doing something big. If he fails to do something big, it would be too meaningless to just advance normally.

The script is almost ready, and all he has to do is wait for the competition in three days. But before that, Lowe still needs to prepare a set of performance costumes.

Before, Lowe took a quick look at the performance costumes provided by the venue, and just as the staff lady on the scene had said, the performance costumes provided were just some very basic styles. Although basic styles are not bad, they still felt a little lacking.

However, at this point, there are still three days left and it is too late to think of a solution. It turns out that we are still not well prepared.

And Lowe did not expect that this problem would be solved in a way he could never have anticipated.

After Lowe filled out the application form, the next step was to arrange the corresponding procedures for the competition schedule. The most critical point was naturally the review and the judges.

In addition to the regular reviewers and judges of the gorgeous competition, there are usually one or two special judges...

Generally, those who can be responsible for this position must be the big guys ranked in the top 100 in the gorgeous competition points competition, and in most cases they start from the top 30.

However, Lowe was participating in a super competition, which was only one level higher than the entry-level competition. Therefore, in theory, it was in compliance with regulations to arrange no more than 80 people to serve as judges.

Before the competition begins, the competition officials will routinely send invitations to all qualified people, and then determine the specific candidates after multiple confirmations.

"Hmm~"

Lukia, who had just finished a tour, was lying on the sofa in the preparation room without any proper posture, humming a light tune and browsing the web leisurely.

If fans see this lazy look, it may cause a devastating blow to his image. Of course, it may also make his popularity even higher. Some things are really hard to predict...

In short, just as she was leisurely passing the time, a prompt message suddenly popped up.

She took a quick glance and saw that it was a message inviting her to be a special judge. Normally, Lucia would receive this kind of message every few days, after all, she was an active idol in the gorgeous contest and a master-level ribbon holder.

It was natural for her to receive the invitation, but in most cases no one thought she would accept it. After all, her schedule was packed with various performances and she really couldn't spare much time.

She had originally planned to decline with an official reply, but when she clicked on the link, she caught a glimpse of a familiar name in the list of contestants.

So, she jumped up from the sofa in a flash. Seeing this, the agent next to her sighed helplessly, holding her forehead.

"…Rukia, your physique teacher is crying. Do you know how much your physique class costs?"

"Ahahaha, I don't know, I've never thought about this question!"

The overly confident answer made the agent even more helpless...

"...That's right. Anyway, we will help you arrange the money no matter how much it costs. So, our princess, what brilliant idea do you have this time?"

"Hmm, I feel like your opinion of me is subtly getting worse and worse."

"It's great that you have such self-awareness..."

The girl stuck out her tongue lightly as she complained without any tone fluctuations. "Ahem, anyway, I don't think I have any schedule after three days, right?"

“…Not yet.”

The agent opened the navigator and glanced at the electronic schedule. Indeed, there were no special activities scheduled for the next three days. After all, idols also need personal time and cannot spend all their time performing.

"...Okay, I'm going to Green Shade Town to participate in the special judging of the Super Tournament there~"

"Why? Why do you have to use your personal rest time to do this kind of thing when the company arranges it?"

The agent girl expressed her doubts. Just as she said, participating as a special judge is also a means of showing up in public and increasing exposure, so the company will naturally arrange some competitions for Lucia to participate in regularly.

Therefore, there was no need for her to use her personal time to do something that was obviously work-related.

To give an inappropriate example, have you ever seen anyone voluntarily work overtime on their day off?

"Well, there is a very interesting contestant and I want to see his performance~"

"...Super Race?"

The agent's doubts were understandable. Lukia was the holder of a master ribbon, and was currently ranked in the top five in the world points ranking. The contestants in the Super Series were basically entry-level players, with a score estimated to start at the top 100,000. How could she be interested?

But soon, the agent figured it out...

"…Is it Mr. Lowe?"

"Yeah, that's right. If I have a chance this time, I must get his number!"

Seeing Lucia's confident look, the agent had a strong foreboding premonition, and she could only sigh helplessly in the end.

"It's true that it's not easy to interfere with a person's feelings, but let me remind you, Lucia... an idol's love is not something that can be dealt with casually..."

Chapter 124 Idol Love Rules~

In fact, regarding the issue of idols dating, everyone has their own opinions. There are really not many fans in this world who would die for their idols' love affairs.

But the problem is that more than ten years ago, a predecessor gave the entire industry a heavy blow with his practical actions.

In short, he is the genius who flashes by like a meteor, and within a year of his debut, he has reached the Master Ribbon at an unmatched speed, and every performance of his can show incredible stage effects.

In the words of those who have seen it... the best effect can only be felt by watching it live, and any broadcast or recording will compromise the perfect presentation of the effect.

Just when everyone was curious about what kind of performance such a genius would put in to advance to the final Masters Tournament, she announced her withdrawal from the game before the game and simply retired to get married.

That final performance, which no one knew about until now, has become a regret for countless people...

Of course, it is a personal freedom to do what one wants, and in theory, other people really have no right to say anything...

Perhaps this incident left many people with regrets, so now many people have psychological trauma about idols’ love affairs, and they are afraid that another genius will come along and suddenly retire at the peak of his career, so they specifically add a seemingly inhumane provision to the contract.

If an idol wants to have a relationship, he or she must first report it to the agency. If he or she wants to officially announce their marriage and run away, they must also first obtain the agency's consent and arrange a farewell performance of sufficient significance.

These are the rules made by that senior. Originally, there weren't so many messy rules and restrictions on idols dating.

"Haha, don't worry~" Lucia waved her hand calmly, "I'm just curious about what kind of performance Lowe will prepare. I don't have any other extra thoughts or ideas~"

"Really?"

“…Yes, it’s absolutely true!”

Although this is not an explanation that can completely reassure people, but now that things have come to this, it is really not easy to say anything more. The agent sighed.

"I understand. I'll make the arrangements..."

"Well, thank you very much~"

Without hesitation, he rushed over and gave her a big bear hug, but this was probably enough to be considered as the highest standard of "special service", but it only earned him a big eye roll from the agent.

"It's so hot, don't come close...what temperature do you think it is now?"

"Yes~yes~"

“You only need to say ‘yes’ once, and you didn’t even let go. Why are you holding me tighter and tighter? Hey… stop it!!!”

………………

…………

……

In short, Lowe was naturally completely unaware of Lukia's sudden whim. He prepared the script carefully and rehearsed it carefully several times with Kamen Meow and Eevee.

In order to ensure the best stage effect, he even carried Liliae and Manchong on his back. Although they were also very curious about what kind of performance Lowe had prepared, since Lowe said that it would be most effective if they watched it on the spot, they naturally suppressed their curiosity.

"So, the official competition will be this afternoon. How is Lowe preparing?"

Liliae asked about the progress curiously, and Lowe thought for two seconds and gave a ridiculous answer.

"Either it's going to be a great job, or it's going to be a complete mess!"

"Isn't this exactly the same as three days ago? What's the point of rehearsing for the past three days?"

After hearing this, Lowe smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"You'll know when the time comes~"

"..."

It was over. Suddenly, Liliae felt that the reserved manner that she had cultivated for so many years as a young lady was in danger of being shattered in front of this man, and she couldn't help but have a strong desire to complain.

Fortunately, the last bit of dignity as a young lady forced her to hold back her complaints. After a moment of silence, she sighed.

"I understand, I understand. I will look forward to it. But if the final performance is not good, I will be very angry. No kidding, I will be really angry!"

"...Oh, that's quite convincing~"

Seeing Liliae lower her eyes and say that she would be very angry, how can I put it? When the other person is cute to a certain extent, even her anger will only make people feel cute.

There is nothing wrong with Man Chong. He can basically be regarded as a crazy fan of Lowe. Since Lowe said it would be a good job, it must be a good job.

As for the possibility of failure in the second half, he simply ignored it on the spot.

Anyway, I came to the venue, but as soon as I arrived, I found that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.

"Hey, why is it so lively all of a sudden?"

Green Shade Town itself is a rather leisurely town. Even at the venue of a grand competition, there are usually not too many people unless there are advanced competitions or above.

Today is just an entry-level qualifying super match. Theoretically, not many people will come to watch it in person. If they are really interested, most people will choose to live broadcast.
