Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

"Yeah……"

Hoshikawa Taku smiled but said nothing.

He was already looking forward to seeing that "famous scene".

While the band was performing on the stage, in the lounge backstage, the members of [Mygo] were nervously waiting for their turn to perform.

The lead singer, Deng Takamatsu, was extremely nervous. Her fingers were tightly gripping the edge of her pants, her face was frozen, and her body was shaking constantly, as if she would slide off the sofa at any time.

Her breathing was rapid and shallow, and she held her breath as if she was afraid of being heard, but she could not hide the panic in her heart.

Aiyin, on the other hand, appeared much calmer.

She has been the lead singer on big stages like music festivals and has stronger psychological qualities than others.

But at this moment, seeing Gao Songdeng seemed to be on the verge of collapse, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous and worried.

After thinking for a while, she walked out of the lounge, brought back some snacks, put them on the table, and comforted him softly: "Deng, don't be nervous, eat something sweet to calm your nerves... Relax a little, we are a team, you are not alone on the stage, don't be too nervous..."

However, Deng just stared blankly at the box of dessert dumplings in front of him, as if he didn't even have the strength to reach out.

Nagasaki Suyo, who was sitting next to her, had no time to comfort Deng. She had her head lowered and her eyes fixed on the screen of her mobile phone.

As her phone dinged, a message was received. The light from the screen reflected on her face, revealing her expression of instant relaxation - she saw the message sent by Taku Hoshikawa and the photos of the scene.

The corners of her lips slowly rose, and an indescribable sense of security surged in her heart.

That’s great…Xiangzi really came to the scene.

A gleam flashed in her eyes, and in that moment, it seemed as if the whole world came into focus again.

She performed this time mainly for Xiangzi to watch. If Xiangzi was not there, her performance tonight would be meaningless.

Nagasaki Suyo put away her phone with satisfaction, and when she looked up, she saw Shiina Riki standing with his hands on his hips, scolding Kaname Rina.

Not long ago, it seemed that Kaname Lenai noticed the increasingly intense "pressure field" in the lounge, so she ran out of the room and didn't come back for a long time.

Shiina Riki had to go out and find her himself, which took up a lot of time.

Li Xi said angrily, "Yao Lenai, can you be a little more disciplined? Just now during the rehearsal, you suddenly ran away and didn't even try to check the sound! Do you know how much trouble you caused others by doing this?"

Her words were fast and urgent, almost like a machine gun, and her eyes were filled with anger and anxiety.

"Forget about what happened before. Remember, when you're on stage later, don't play the guitar casually. You must wait until the light starts talking before you start playing!"

Kaname Rakuna tilted her head, blinked, and held out her hand. "Is this a new request? Give me a matcha parfait."

At this critical moment, she is still thinking about dessert!

"You guy..."

Li Xi was almost about to laugh out loud because of her anger. He clenched his fists, but still took a deep breath and chose to compromise. "Okay, I promise you, I will buy it for you after the performance!"

She suppressed her anger and looked away, repeating to herself that she needed to stay calm and control herself. She didn't have much time left to team up with this guy, so she just had to get through this performance.

"Alright, let's take advantage of this time and rehearse some more. Maybe cramming at the last minute will be helpful!"

She waved, trying to draw everyone's attention back to the performance.

However, before everyone stood up, the backstage door was pushed open again, and a staff member poked his head in and reminded with a professional smile:

"It's your turn to perform soon, so hurry up and get ready."

There’s nothing I can do… the time’s up, I can only go on stage.

Li Xi stood at the door, looking at his teammates who "lacked professionalism" and were doing their own things, and suddenly a complicated emotion arose in his heart.

She knew that no matter how hard she tried to organize, worry, and coordinate, she was not the core of the team.

She finally realized how important Xiangzi was to the team.

I really am not suitable to be the leader... I have to let Xiangzi come back.

Chapter 254: The lead singer works too hard!

Even though he was not prepared, time was approaching, and Shiina Riki had no choice but to take the first step with a heavy heart as if he was going to the execution ground.

She was not someone who got easily stage fright, but when the door to the stage slowly opened and the glaring spotlight shone in through the gap, the suffocating tension still hit her suddenly.

The one who was in the same mood as her was Gao Songdeng.

Even though the brief exchange with Aine just now had eased her emotions a little, when she actually stood in the center of the stage, the tension and fear completely engulfed her like a tide.

Her fingertips were trembling slightly, her lips were almost pursed into a line, and her whole body seemed to be surrounded by coldness, her face so pale that it was almost transparent.

【The lead singer is working so hard! 】

She still remembers the comment she saw after a CRYCHIC performance.

After that, Shoko Toyokawa left.

She always felt that it was her singing that was not good enough that caused the team to fall apart.

What if she makes a mistake again on this stage this time?

Will...Mygo also reach the end like CRYCHIC?

Although she didn't know about the secret plan between Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Riki, her intuition had already detected that the atmosphere during this period was terribly depressing.

And she is exactly the kind of singer who relies a lot on her state.

The depressing atmosphere and shaken confidence caused her to make frequent mistakes during practice, and she even doubted at one point whether she was really suitable to stand on this stage.

But, no matter what, there is no turning back now.

"Don't be nervous, relax, we are here for you."

Aine whispered in her ear, her tone brisk as the breeze.

The difference between her and Takamatsu Deng is that after experiencing the big stage of the music festival, Aiyin is no longer stage-frightened, but instead seems to enjoy the spotlight on the stage.

She immediately spotted Taku Hoshikawa in the crowd, smiled broadly without restraint, and waved her hand to greet him enthusiastically.

Taku Hoshikawa, standing at the back of the crowd, also raised his hand in response.

Seeing how relaxed Aine was, Takamatsu Deng bit his lower lip and nodded with all his might.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to walk to the center of the stage, and gripped the microphone tightly with both hands.

"that……"

She tried to speak, but found that her voice seemed to be blocked in her throat and she couldn't make a sound.

Looking at the large audience below the stage, he suddenly forgot all the speeches he had prepared before going on stage, and his mind went blank.

At this moment, Su Shi stood up and took over the conversation calmly.

She said in a gentle and calm voice, "Hello everyone, we are a new band performing on stage for the first time. We are all very nervous. We hope that the audience will bear with us..."

Compared with others, Su Shi is the eldest daughter of Yuezhisen. She has seen many big scenes. Her tone is neither hurried nor slow, and there is even a hint of soothing in her voice.

This can barely be considered a decent rescue.

Her eyes moved and she saw Taku Hoshikawa, Shoko Toyokawa, and Mutsu Wakaba, who were standing at the back of the stage. The smile on her face suddenly became more intense.

"Everyone, are you ready? The music is about to begin."

As she said this, she turned and gave Shiina Riki a look.

Originally, Takamatsu Deng was supposed to give the opening remarks, but she was too nervous to speak at all.

Although the situation is different from what we expected at the beginning, we can only adapt to the situation and continue.

Shiina Riki looked at Takamatsu Deng worriedly, but still took a deep breath, raised the drumstick, and tapped the air lightly three times.

"Da da da--"

As the rhythm signal was given, she hit the drums hard, and at the same time, the sounds of bass, lead guitar and rhythm guitar also sounded.

Although it was obvious that the coordination was not smooth enough, the rhythm was smoothed out.

Standing under the stage, Taku Hoshikawa raised his eyebrows, looking slightly surprised, but not too surprised.

Originally in the anime, Aine was too nervous and made two mistakes in a row, and only started successfully on the third time.

But now she has performed on the big stage, and her guitar skills have been guided by two talented guitarists, Ichiri Goto and Elisa Shimizu. Her technique and mentality are no longer the same as before. Her experience is much richer than that of her contemporaries in the animation, and she can smoothly connect with the rhythm of others.

It started off well, but... the lead singer, who was least expected to make mistakes, still faltered.

As soon as the lead singer, Teru Takamatsu, opened her mouth, people couldn't help but frown - her voice was so soft that even the audience in the front row could hardly hear it.

Her voice seemed to be suppressed by something, her voice was weak and almost without penetration, and was completely drowned out by the strong sound of the instruments.

She did this for several lines of lyrics.

She was so nervous that she didn't dare to exert any strength at all.

The comment that "the lead singer tried too hard" lingered in her mind and became a shackle on her throat.

Taku Hoshikawa was not surprised, as all this was within his expectations.

Suddenly, he heard Toyokawa Shoko beside him let out a soft "tsk".

"How can you sing like this..."

She whispered softly, her brow furrowed.

Shoko Toyokawa knew that this was not Takamatsu Touma's true strength.

She's not a newcomer performing for the first time, so how could she act so lame on stage...

Xiangzi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and suddenly raised one of her hands. In this not-so-crowded seat in the audience, her action immediately attracted the attention of Gao Songdeng and Su Shi.

She didn't make any sound, but just raised her hands and put them to her mouth, making a silent shout.

This seemed very confusing, but Takamatsu Deng understood it immediately.

She suddenly recalled the night past.

That was when CRYCHIC was still around, before she stepped onto the stage. At that time, she performed poorly in the practice room, and was as timid and unconfident as she is now. She was afraid of being laughed at and didn't dare to sing out loud.

Xiangzi saw her condition and took the initiative to accompany her home after the practice.

Xiangzi said that the reason she chose her as the lead singer was because she was moved by her lyrics, which were a cry from her heart.

So, there is no need to be afraid, just shout out what you want to say.

She still remembered the words Xiangzi had shouted out on the overpass to demonstrate to her:

"I really want to be human!"

Miss Xiangzi can shout out loudly without caring about her image, so what is she afraid of now?

That’s right, there’s nothing to be afraid of. You don’t need to care about other people’s opinions at all.

So what if I try my best?

Her singing is meant to be sung for herself and the people she cares about. As long as her voice can reach the other person's ears, it doesn't matter if she is criticized by others!

Once your mind is freed, you will feel the world is wide.

She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and gripped the microphone tightly with both hands.

When she spoke again, her voice seemed to be reignited, and she shouted loudly with all her might!

Her voice was full, firm, and touched people's hearts. At that moment, the atmosphere on the scene finally became warm.

Some people in the audience also began to sway their bodies, and the rhythm and emotions were slowly driven up.

Gao Songdeng's voice became steadier and stronger, as if it was a bird that had broken free from its own restraints and soared into the sky.

The corners of Xiangzi's mouth slowly rose.

Sure enough, as long as she wanted to, she could do it.

Chapter 255 Why should we play "Haruhi Shadow"!?

When the song ended, many people in the audience were impressed by their performance and applause broke out like a wave.

Hoshikawa Taku, Shoko and the others also applauded.

Xiangzi originally wanted to avoid meeting them, but when she really met their eyes, she suddenly realized that the emotions that had made her uneasy were actually not that serious at all.

When I asked her if she had any, she said no, and the excuse she kept giving to avoid the issue wasn't some big grudge.
