In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"We are still idols today, but we are here as school idols!"

Ruby confidently made a big V sign to the camera.

"We're already officially debuted idols, but we're still pretending to be school idols here. What's the reason?"

The camera was given to Kana, who is indeed a powerful veteran actor. The moment the camera turned to her, Kana's expression changed, from a helpless and lonely smile to a sweet smile like soda pop.

"Because, there is a very interesting program arranged in this Sapporo Ramen Festival."

By spinning her fingers in circles, Kana focused the attention of the audience in front of the TV on her hands. This was a small trick that was neither big nor small.

"What program is it?"

Ruby asked as if she was joining in the fun.

"Of course, it's the Sapporo Ramen Festival School Idol Competition, known as this year's LOVELIVE preliminary round."

Kana revealed the answer, "Not only will local school idols from Hokkaido be invited here, but school idols from all over the country will gather here to compete before the official LOVELIVE competition."

"Wow, that was really fun."

"Kana, Ruby, let's hurry in too! If we're a little slow, we won't have the super delicious ramen. Charge, B-Komachi."

MEM appeared and jumped onto Kana and Ruby's backs.

"B Komachi, let's go to the delicious ramen!"

"Ka, good, this one is perfect, everyone can take a break now."

The director clapped the megaphone in his hand with satisfaction.

Following the director's order, Kana and Ruby's smiling faces changed instantly.

"Ah—I'm so tired, MEM. You're so heavy. Come down quickly."

"Why did we have to shoot the first shot at 4:30 in the afternoon when we had already finished shooting today?"

Compared to Kana who wanted to pull MEM啾 off, Ruby leaned back on MEM啾 as if she was exhausted.

"Didn't you see how many people were here this morning? There's room for us to set up the cameras and lights."

"But aren't we filming news? Isn't this fake?"

Ruby, who once believed that being an idol was a high-paying profession, was puzzled.

"hehe."

Kana laughed and said, "Ruby, anything that's on TV is more or less fake. There are so many fake things in the entertainment industry."

"Here we go again! Even though it's just her brother who didn't come with her, Kana seems to have developed a Chuunibyou syndrome."

"What's this about Aqua!?"

"It's true that I don't care about my brother's affairs. Now my brother is in Tokyo with his girlfriend and is being affectionate. Damn it."

Thinking of Akane resting her head on Aqua's shoulder at home, watching a romantic love movie together, while she was currently working overtime in Hokkaido, Ruby felt unhappy.

Looking at Kana who was sipping water angrily, Ruby sighed and shook her head three times, which made Kana very unhappy.

"Why?"

"It's useless to give you a chance. You're such a good match for my brother, but you live like a loser."

"what!?"

Kana didn't know what was going on in Ruby's little head, but it was definitely not something good.

Before Kana could ask Ruby what she meant, MEM came back skipping and waving a few pieces of paper in her hands.

"Ruby, Kana, look what I got?"

"Ramen vouchers?"

Kana took it and saw that it was a voucher that could be used at any store participating in the Ramen Festival.

"The staff said that as long as we have this coupon, we can eat at any ramen restaurant we want, and we don't have to wait in line."

"Ramen is such a high-calorie dish that idols who want to maintain their figure can't eat it."

Kana starts from the perspective of an idol.

"Besides, I've already eaten several times while filming the show today. My calorie intake has seriously exceeded the recommended limit. I need to step up my yoga session before bed."

B Komachi's trio came to shoot the Ramen Festival, so of course one of the indispensable parts was eating various kinds of ramen. Starting from seven in the morning, Kana ate more than ten bowls of ramen. Although she only took one or two bites, after eating several bowls, she felt full in her stomach, and the calorie intake was seriously exceeded.

"They're giving us this ramen voucher at this time. They're not trying to say this is our dinner, are they?"

Ruby said.

"Given how stingy the TV station is, it's not impossible."

When Kana was filming in the past, she had seen all kinds of money-saving tricks used by TV stations. It was very normal to use free food from the filming location as working meals for the artists.

"Then do you still want Ruby and Kana?"

"want."

Kana thinks ramen is high in calories and as an idol she shouldn't eat too much of it. She took the voucher just as a courtesy and had no plans to eat it anyway.

Ruby also took the one that belonged to her. Unlike Kana, Ruby really wanted to eat it. She had been an islander for both of her lives, so of course she loved ramen, a national food of the islanders. During the filming, she noticed that the ramen made by a pink-haired proprietress looked super delicious, and Ruby could take this opportunity to go and eat it.

After shooting the last shot that was supposed to be the beginning, B Komachi's work for the day is over. The filmed materials are entering the stage of rapid editing. The program will be broadcast at 7 o'clock tonight, and they have to race against time.

After a day's work, it's time for free time. B and Komachi are a very close group, but they don't need to be together all the time. The three of them also have things they want to do. Ruby wants to go eat Mitsuri's ramen, Kana wants to go back to the hotel to practice her performance, and MEM啾 picked up the sports camera and started shooting videos.

After this period of activeness, Ruby is now a popular idol, although she has not reached the heights of her mother. She has already held concerts at the Kyoto Grand Hall. Compared with those underground idols who have to sell tickets on the street themselves, she is no longer on the same level. She even has to wear sunglasses when going out shopping.

Perhaps because of the general popularity of idols, whenever Ruby passed by a few underground idols who wanted to take advantage of the large crowds at the Ramen Festival to sell a few tickets, she would always pay out a few bills to get a few tickets. She bought tickets for Kana MEM啾 and Aqua, but did not buy tickets for Akane, who is currently considered Aqua's girlfriend.

Following the route in her memory, Ruby came to a seemingly inconspicuous ramen restaurant. The queue was already very long, so Ruby naturally stood at the end of the line. This queuing is something that Japanese people have to experience.

"Brother, this, this is the one owned by the lady who owns that delicious ramen shop in front of the hospital. Let's get in line quickly, or we won't be able to eat any more."

There was a familiar voice. Ruby turned her head and saw Coco, who had changed out of her stage costume, pulling Ouyang Xuan behind her, with Chloe following beside them. They looked like a mature big brother taking two little sisters out to play.

"Wow, the line is so long. How long will it take for us to be there?"

Chloe looked out at the crowd.

“Waiting makes food even more delicious.”

"That's because they waited in line for so long that they got hungry."

"Anyway, the organizers gave us these free ramen vouchers. I really feel bad if I don't treat you to a meal of this super delicious ramen."

This ramen roll is not a perfunctory treatment from the TV station, it is the perfunctory treatment from the organizer.

After hearing what Coco said later, Ruby suddenly understood.

Coco and her team were the opening and first team of the school idol competition. When they were performing, Ruby was recording the show below. She took the opportunity to comment on Coco and other informal idols in front of the camera. Although they were not formal commercial idols, it must be said that Coco and her team had very solid basic skills. They could sing and dance without getting out of breath, and they would be able to become professional idols seamlessly after graduation in the future.

"Big brother, big brother."

Chloe poked Ouyang Sun's side and whispered, "That person in front has been peeking at us. Is he someone we know?"

"She?"

Before standing behind Ruby, Ouyang Sun noticed and recognized her, explained to Chloe, and said: "She is the daughter of love."

“Oh—ah!”

The calm Chloe took only 0.1 seconds to react, and then she screamed at an uncontrollable volume, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. However, it was nothing serious, so they just took a look and turned back.

When Ruby turned around, even though she was wearing big sunglasses, Chloe could still recognize that the girl in front of her did look somewhat similar to Ai.

That's not right. Wasn't I only 20 when I fell in love? Me!!!

Chloe's eyes were shaking as she guessed when Ai might give birth. Although Chloe said that Huahua wanted to push Ouyang Xuan over, she had never put it into practice. She didn't expect that Ai, who looked like a useless ghost at home, would actually do the amazing thing of entering the cafeteria without ringing the bell.

If love can do it, I can definitely do it too!

What's that kid doing behind me? The way he's looking at me seems a little strange, like he doesn't recognize me. Weird.

Coco was looking forward to the ramen, Chloe suddenly had the goal of learning from love, and Ruby was suspicious about why the little girl behind her was staring at her like that. With this mood, the group moved forward little by little and quickly entered the store, which took only half an hour.

"Today's performance was amazing! Coco-chan!"

"I think so too, Mitsuri-nee!"

"yeah!"

Sitting at the bar, the only available seat, Coco and Mitsuri excitedly high-fived each other, while Ruby also sat down with the group, next to Coco.

"As a token of my support for Coco-chan, would you like to have a bowl of Mitsuri's special super-strength ramen today, too?"

"Oh, absolutely not."

Coco refused with a smile, just kidding, if you eat that big bowl of ramen, you won’t need to eat for three days.

"But Coco-chan sang and danced on the stage today, so she must have used up a lot of energy. If she doesn't eat more, how can she recover her energy?"

"Mitsuri-san, the amount of ramen you're serving is way too much for a human."

"Woo woo~ I get it~"

Seeing that she couldn't recommend her favorite set meal to everyone, Mitsuri could only cry and look miserable. She was soon pushed aside by Xiao Banei to cook noodles, and Xiao Banei was the one who entertained everyone.

Ouyang Xuan ordered the light-looking seafood ramen, Coco confidently ordered the tonkotsu miso ramen, a representative of the island nation's ramen, and Chloe looked at the novel ramen on the menu, but chose to turn over and eat the ordinary traditional ramen, and ordered a seafood ramen like Ouyang Xuan.

Ruby is an idol, and just like Kana said, ramen is too greasy. If she eats too much, her waistline might not be able to support it. If she can't wear the customized stage costume, then she will be disqualified as an idol. Therefore, Ruby ordered a vegetable ramen that looked the lightest.

After ordering ramen, while Ruby was drinking hot tea, her attention couldn't help but fall on Ouyang Xuan. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that Ouyang Xuan's charm is so great that Ruby's favorability is full at a glance. How could such an outrageous thing happen in the real world? Ruby felt that Ouyang Xuan was very familiar, and she seemed to have seen him somewhere, and she was very impressed.

Tokyo? Shibuya? Chiba? Or... Kyoto!?

I saw this man in Kyoto? With whom... Mom? Mom and this man? No, me and Mom.

In the performance in Kyoto, when her daughter was in danger, Ai, who was already a ghost, tried her best to temporarily break through the limitations of the spirit body, saved her daughter, and was able to say a few words to her daughter. However, in the subsequent handling, Ruby had her memory erased by the Hakurei Shrine maiden because she was not from the other world. After many hardships, she finally saw her mother again, but the memory of her mother only lasted for a short time in her mind.

The memory erasure technique of Hakurei Shrine is much stronger than that of the group of people in Tokyo. It should have painlessly and completely erased Ai, Ouyang Falcon, and Reimu from Ruby's mind, but now vague impressions remain. This shows how deep Ruby's memory of that day is and how strong her soul is beyond ordinary people.

I have vague memories, but I can't recall the specific details. Whenever I think about it, my head hurts as if fireworks are going off inside, and the stars in my eyes turn black.

Holding her forehead, Ruby's expression couldn't help but tighten in pain. This had been happening from time to time recently.

"Sister, are you okay? You look so ugly."

Following a worried cry, a steaming hot towel was placed on the forehead.

Ruby looked up and met Coco's worried gaze.

Chapter 60 This restaurant is killing people!

"Sister, if you have a headache, putting a hot towel on your head can relieve the pain."

As Coco said this, she adjusted the hot towel on Ruby's head, which was handed to her by Xiao Banei.

"Thank you, Koko-san."

"Huh? Sister, do you know me?"

Coco had no impression of the beautiful older sister wearing glasses in front of her, and she didn't notice the figure in the audience during the performance.

"Of course, your performances are so-so. You can all become real idols."

"It turns out that my sister watched our performance."

Coco touched her head proudly. Getting the first place in the country in the exam didn’t mean anything to Coco, but if you praised her school idol’s performance, she would be so happy that her nose would turn up to the sky.

"But sister, we are not ordinary idols, we are school idols."

"Koko-san, do you want to be an idol in the future?"

"I don't have that kind of idea. I'm only interested in school idols. I'm not interested in ordinary idols at all. Those kinds of things that are too commercial are meaningless."

"You actually said something like that in front of me, your idol. Humph, Koko-san is really bold."

The headache had eased a lot. When Ruby took the hot towel off her head, she also took off her sunglasses, revealing her cute idol face. Her pair of pink eyes sparkling with stars looked at Coco confidently, looking forward to Coco's scream when she discovered her idol was beside her.

In response to Ruby's actions, Coco just smiled, tilted her head, blinked her eyes and looked at Ruby. The smile on Coco's face did not fade, but Ruby gradually lost her temper and finally hung her head in frustration.

This kid really just loves school idols wholeheartedly and has no interest in idols in general. This can be seen from the fact that Coco doesn't even recognize herself, the first-class star of the new era. This makes Ruby, who was confidently preparing to give Coco a surprise, feel disappointed.

Woo woo woo, if it was mom, she would definitely be recognized. I, I really am still not as good as mom.
