If I don't capture the girl, I will die

The familiar melody of the song resounded throughout the venue.

"I Say..."

"Hey, hey, hey, START;DASH!"

Oh, it's such a classic.

Ji Qi picked up the phone with one hand to record the video, and tapped the beat on his knee with the other hand to the melody. Unexpectedly, he could actually keep up.

In a more secluded corner next to him, a girl with black twin ponytails and wearing a mask, which looked a little weird, popped her head out.

Looking at the three dazzling people on the stage, complex emotions such as envy, longing, jealousy, etc. were intertwined together.

"Don't give up easily no matter what."

"The day of success will surely come."

"I believe you can feel it too. The agitation that is about to begin."

Perhaps she was thinking of her recent experiences, the girl on the stage sang with extraordinary devotion.

Very contagious.

Sitting in the front row with two excellent viewing spots, Koizumi Hanayo and Hoshizora Rin felt it the most deeply.

In the former's world, there were only three girls performing in ecstasy.

Maybe other people only see their current glamour, but only Ji Qi can understand how much they have silently paid for it.

At this time, his cell phone seemed to ring a few times. But he was enjoying the concert and didn't notice it...

"What a group of innocent girls. I can't help but want to help them."

The loud music coming from beside him completely drowned out his quiet mumbling.

The atmosphere in the auditorium gradually became heated, and no one noticed this inconspicuous man with warm eyes.

The song ends.

In the audience, under the anxious gazes of Kousaka Honoka and the other two, there was an eerie silence for a moment.

Then, it completely boiled over.

Many people even shouted out their support.

A place that gathers the spotlight, at this moment, the three girls are so suitable for it.

They looked at each other, seeing tears in each other's eyes, and then they hugged each other tightly.

five minutes.

A very essential and wonderful five minutes.

There were constant cheers and applause from the audience.

"..."

“That’s great.”

Perhaps someone's whisper was completely drowned out by the audience's applause and cheers.

No one responded to him.

……

PS: It’s already the 100th chapter without me noticing, so here’s some flowers~

By the way, I wish I could get 100 monthly tickets today (sincerely pray)

Chapter 101 Recognition

Outside.

Eri Ayase, with her dazzling blonde hair tied into a simple and clean ponytail, has a complicated expression.

The outstretched hand was retracted.

“Now I can only agree with them.”

Next to her, a gentle, plump, purple-haired beauty spoke in a somewhat strange Kansai accent.

"Do you agree?"

Eri Ayase followed her friend's example and leaned against the wall, listening to the songs, applause and cheers that even the door could not block, and sighed deeply.

Nozomi Tojo, with her mysterious purple hair and giving off a very reassuring and reliable vibe, nodded obediently.

Then, with a smile on his face, he cast his gaze to a corner not far to the right.

Ah——

Has he been discovered again?

Maki Nishikino, who thought she was well hidden, touched her hot and smooth face.

……

——"Main quest completed"——

Currently completed mission: "Help campus idol μs successfully hold his first concert."

Rewards: Presence +10; Pseudo-protagonist halo, successfully unlock the next main quest.

Just after Ji Qi finished enjoying μs's first concert, a long-lost system message from him popped up in his head.

It’s done…

Ji Qi smiled casually. This mission reward could be said to be earned for free. Even if there was no such mission, he would still help μs as much as possible.

Moreover, it is really much simpler than conquering Kasumigaoka Utaha or Yukinoshita Yukino.

There is no big psychological burden yet.

Oh, and there is the next main quest, what is it...

"Ahem, good afternoon everyone, thank you very much for coming to support us!"

Now that the song is over, they still know what to do next.

The girls first bowed to express their gratitude, and then Minami Kotori and Sonoda Umami, with sweat on their heads, gave the chance to speak to Kousaka Honoka at the same time.

She was originally the leader of the team, so this was what she should do.

Honoka Kousaka did not refuse. She held the microphone and spoke with some nervousness and stuttering.

"To be honest, we really didn't expect so many people to come to our first concert. I was really shocked when I went on stage just now."

In front of so many people, after experiencing the initial nervousness, Honoka Kousaka is now obviously in much better condition.

The words no longer trembled and stuttered.

Bring your usual generosity and naturalness.

She is a girl born to stand at the center of this kind of stage.

The audience responded with a burst of good-natured laughter.

There are many places where you can tell that this is their first concert.

But so what, as long as she's cute!

"Anyway, today, I really want to thank you all so much!"

Honoka Kousaka walked to the front of the stage and gave another very standard 90-degree bow.

The audience burst into applause.

Standing up straight, a brilliant smile bloomed on Kousaka Honoka's pretty face covered with sweat, and she continued, "Also, I want to give special thanks to another person here. Although we don't know your name, whether you are a man or a woman, or even whether you are here or can hear us, but..."

"Thank you so much!"

"You supported us in our most difficult times."

"If it weren't for your encouragement, we really don't know if we could have persisted."

"But from now on - we have decided to cheer for the school idol."

"We will do our best to protect our campus."

"So just watch carefully, we won't give up."

“Even if there is sadness and pain, no matter what happens, we will face it with all our strength and smile, because our dream is to become idols who can convey that brilliance to everyone.”

"We always start from a completely blank page, right? Besides, we have already taken the most difficult step!"

"From now on, we will definitely do everything in our power to work hard for the campus idol!"

"Can you hear me?"

"It's good to be able to hear it."

"Please give me more advice in the future!"

After saying so many words in one breath, Kousaka Honoka took a few breaths.

But her eyes were frighteningly bright.

By now, I no longer have any stage fright.

Influenced by her, Minami Kotonari and Sonoda Umi also regained their usual grace and elegance.

As soon as Kousaka Honoka started talking, Ji Qi temporarily put aside what was in her mind and listened to her carefully.

He listened quietly with a gentle smile on his face.

They are all good girls.

no doubt.

As a reward, he accepted these words of thanks with peace of mind.

After saying these words excitedly, the girls bowed collectively again, then went off the stage to change their clothes.

The main characters had left, and the audience below the stage also left the venue like birds and beasts scattering.

Ji Qi also heard a lot of whispered discussions.

There is almost no dissatisfaction.

Anyway, most people are not professionals and can’t see any specific tricks. As long as the girl is cute and the song is enjoyable, isn’t that enough?

After a pause, Ji Qi did not reveal his identity and went backstage to talk to a few girls.

It doesn't make any sense.

Besides, he didn't do anything big.

Whether it is encouraging them, secretly telling them about the existence of Maki, or promoting it, they are all small things.

And they are strangers in reality.

If they really meet, even with this layer of relationship between them, girls from μs will still feel awkward and uncomfortable.

That's it.

After a while, almost everyone who needed to leave the auditorium had left.

Ji Qi was still sitting in his original seat.

He wanted to see what would develop next.

Although the concert is over, there will probably be more things happening.

Taking advantage of this time, Ji Qi checked the new main task and attribute panel which he had not had the chance to look at immediately because he was interrupted by Kousaka Honoka.

Presence - 20 (Congratulations! You are no longer on the brink of death!)

I said, I have been living on the brink of death?!

The strong feeling of death was very strong except when he just crossed over. As his relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha developed smoothly, he almost forgot about it...
