Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

"We just arrived on site and were planning to go to our lounge, but we happened to see the sign on your door, so we came over to say hello."

Kondo Hina had her usual arrogant smile on her face, her hands in her pockets, and she looked lazy and calm to the point of being annoying.

She asked knowingly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she taunted, "Why, seeing us coming, are you panicking? Don't be nervous, we won't let you admit defeat now. Let's wait until we're on stage and let you see the difference with your own eyes."

Rencai was so angry that she was shaking, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, raising her head and panting: "Who would be afraid of you? It's not certain who will win or lose, so don't talk big here!"

"Instead, you should think carefully about what to do if you lose to us and we steal all your band's fans!"

The two lead singers exchanged harsh words and sparks flew in their eye contact.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, a gentle hand pressed on Nina's shoulder - it was Momoka.

Momoka looked at her former teammates behind Kondo Hina with a nostalgic look. Without any harsh words, she said to them calmly: "Let's all cheer each other on and give our fans a wonderful performance."

"Well, we are also looking forward to your performance, Momoka!"

The children from the two families were baring their teeth at each other, but the adults were getting along harmoniously. This scene was quite strange.

After greeting each other, the Diamond Stardust members walked into their own lounge.

After watching them leave and closing the door, Rencai said indignantly, "Momoka, you were way too nice to them just now! They're our competitors! Aren't you afraid of being looked down upon by speaking so gently?"

Taoxiang's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of cunning on her face.

"Nina, I just want them to underestimate us. Talking nonsense won't earn you anything substantial. We should show our weakness to our enemies, so they'll be careless. When we crush them on stage, it will be too late for them to regret it."

"Have you forgotten what our band name is? [Thornless] We want to extend our thorns at the most critical moment."

Rencai suddenly realized that this was what Taoxiang was planning.

Rencai said excitedly, "I understand. Just like 'the barking dog that bites', let them think we are pushovers. When we get on stage, we'll give them a counter-attack!"

"Who are you calling a dog?"

Taoxiang rolled her eyes helplessly and reached out to mess up her head. "Can't you give me some better examples?"

Nina thought seriously for three seconds.

"That's a cat that looks well-behaved on the surface and lets you pet it. But when you're not careful, it suddenly hisses and paws you unexpectedly, forcing you to get an expensive vaccination!"

"Forget it, you'd better stop giving me examples. Just listening to the examples you give makes me want to breathe heavily."

Taoxiang was completely speechless.

Just at this moment, there was another knock on the door.

Nina thought that Kondo Hina and the others had returned, her eyes became fierce, and she was ready for the "second battle".

But unexpectedly, after opening the door, the person standing at the door was Taku Hoshikawa.

"what are you doing?"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at Nina with a strange expression as she bared her teeth and claws at him.

"Nothing, I, I'm just practicing my facial expressions!"

Renai quickly retracted her fierce expression, put her hands behind her back, and showed a well-behaved and harmless smile.

Hoshikawa Taku didn't care and said to them, "The stage is ready, your band should go up and rehearse first."

Chapter 302: The first meeting between "girlfriend" and "lover".

The rehearsal went smoothly.

Everyone has been preparing carefully for today's performance for a whole month, and the tacit understanding between them has already been honed to a very solid level.

After getting used to the stage space and checking the sound effects, they quickly regained their form and began singing as freely as if they were in their own rehearsal room.

This stage is much better than the one in the rehearsal room, with speakers surrounding it delivering rich and clear sound.

The treble is sweet, the mid-range is accurate, and the bass is deep. In a word, it is transparent.

In this environment, Renna cooperated with her teammates well and sang with all her heart, but when she sang the ending of the song, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards the backstage entrance.

That was none other than Kondo Hina.

Rencai's eyes rolled and he came up with an idea.

She deliberately pretended to be off-tune in the last few high-note passages, producing some somewhat awkward tones.

When the song ended, the stage fell silent for a moment. Momoka, Xiangzi, Subaru and the others all frowned and looked at her with a slightly puzzled look on their faces.

Renai turned around, put on an annoyed and innocent look, bowed her head and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I've never sung in such a big place, I'm a little nervous..."

As she said this, she kept winking at them, asking them to look at Kondo Hina's location.

An and Subaru were the first to react and deliberately banged the drum angrily.

"Nina, you can't do this! We're about to perform, and you're letting us down at this crucial moment!"

"I can't help it. Before I stood on the stage, I didn't know I would be nervous..."

Rencai pouted, pretending to be aggrieved.

They performed a double act in front of Kondo Hina, acting out a scene of "conflict breaking out" between teammates.

When Kondo Hina heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she came over and said mockingly:

"Nina, if you're not used to this stage, I think a small livehouse would be more suitable for you. This time, there's a live broadcast. If you embarrass yourself, you'll embarrass the whole country."

Rencai turned around, puffed out her chest, glared at her, and replied unconvincedly: "Hmph, just wait and see, you're the one who loses the most this time!"

After saying that, she feigned annoyance and said to the staff member who was tuning the instrument: "Sir, could you please kick this irrelevant person out? We need to rehearse, and she's really in the way!"

The staff member who was called out was stunned.

Isn't that an artist from Diamond Stardust? How come he's an "unrelated person"?

When he was in a dilemma, Kondo Hina chuckled and said, "Don't bother, I can walk by myself, you guys can continue rehearsing."

"But..."

She gave Renna a meaningful look and said, "If you perform so poorly during the actual performance, I'll be very disappointed."

As soon as she finished speaking, she left the rehearsal area on her own.

Seeing the other party leave, Renai also retracted the hostile attitude from before, turned around and looked at her teammates excitedly, with pride in her eyes.

"How's it going? My acting is okay, right? Now, they'll definitely let their guard down!"

However, Xiangzi, who was standing behind the electronic organ, said calmly:

"This girl named Kondo Hina seems very smart. She might not be fooled by your tricks. Nina, let's focus on our own performance and not try to make others make mistakes."

"Yes, yes, what you taught me is..."

Renai nodded obediently.

Rencai has some respect for Xiangzi.

The other party is a "senior" in the agency. He is willing to condescend to help his band, and he has never let down his team. He is very serious in every rehearsal. He can't let him down.

Although there must be at least one idiot in every team, now is not the time to act like a fool. Rencai also wants to be the Dragon Warrior. C wins this time!

On the other side, Kondo Hina returned to the lounge of Diamond Stardust with brisk steps.

As soon as she pushed the door open, several teammates who were sitting on the sofa looked at her.

"Didn't you go to the bathroom? Why are you so slow?"

The drummer raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Are you going next door to 'inquire about military intelligence'?"

"Well, almost."

Kondo Hina's mouth curled up in a smug arc.

"Huh? You really went..."

The drummer was a little surprised, but also curious and asked, "What did you find out?"

Kondo Hina said slowly, "When I went over, Youci Wuci and the others were rehearsing on stage. When they saw me, Renai deliberately sang the wrong note and performed a duet with her teammates, hoping that I would let my guard down."

"Of course, her little tricks can't fool me. Instead, I can be more certain that they came prepared and wanted to paralyze us by showing weakness in reverse."

Kondo Hina has been with Nina for too long and knows too well the little tricks this girl likes to play, so she naturally won't fall for it.

She paused, then lowered her voice a bit: "Judging from their appearance, they must have practiced a lot this past month, so we can't let our guard down."

Upon hearing this, the teammates all smiled at each other.

"Isn't this just perfect? ​​If our competitors are too weak, then all our efforts over the past few days would be wasted."

"Especially you, Hina-chan. Aren't you always talking about showing that little girl named Nina a lesson? Are you lacking in confidence now?"

The bassist teased.

Kondo Hina snorted lightly, and said with a slight smile: "How could I not have confidence? Seeing Nina's aggressive look, I actually want to defeat her even more and make her cry in front of me."

Kondo Hina never looked down on Nina and the others from the very beginning.

She was contemptuous in words but took it seriously in tactics. Over the past month, she was the most serious in practice and was looking forward to the performance the most.

She wanted to see Renai kneeling in front of her with a look of regret on her face.

……

The closer we get to the official performance, the faster time seems to pass and the less time it feels like.

Fortunately, no one was the type to cram at the last minute, and everyone was well prepared for the performance.

Everyone's rehearsal went smoothly. Not only did it not make them feel tired, but it actually boosted their confidence and made them look forward to tonight's performance even more.

After everyone had rehearsed and the lighting, sound, special effects, online streaming, stage equipment and other parts were tested, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Next, after everyone has finished putting on makeup, they can take a break and wait for the performance to begin.

"I'm so tired. A proper concert is so troublesome..."

Pochi sprawled on the sofa and sighed.

As a person with social anxiety and physical weakness, Boqi felt exhausted when he was surrounded by so many staff members during the rehearsal and had to constantly test the equipment.

"After all, this is a large-scale performance for 2500 spectators, so of course we have to prepare everything well and not make any mistakes."

Meow Meng said with a smile as she put makeup on Aine.

There are two makeup artists for this concert, one is Miao Meng and the other is Hoshikawa Taku.

Meow Meng was responsible for the members of the Extension Line Band, Hoshikawa Taku was responsible for the Thorns and Thorns, and the protagonist Mizuno Ai's makeup was also done.

Pochi rarely wears makeup and she knows very little about it.

However, in the previous makeup competition between Taku Hoshikawa and Meow Meow, she, as Taku Hoshikawa's model, won with a big advantage, which gave her a wrong perception: if Taku Hoshikawa is a professional makeup artist, then Meow Meow is at the level of an amateur.

Although Miaomengren is very friendly, his technology...

So Pochi subconsciously said: "Since this performance is so important, why let you, Miaomeng, do the makeup? Shouldn't we let a more professional makeup artist do it..."

Miao Meng raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that she would be questioned in the field of makeup.

She paused for a moment, then looked at Pochi with a half-smile: "Little Pochi, you're very brave. Although my skills are not as good as the boss's, they are still much better than those of ordinary makeup artists."

"Since you won't be showing your face on stage anyway, and you'll still be wearing that Guitar Hero outfit, let me do some special makeup for you so you can see my skills."

Miao Meng deliberately threatened: "What do you like, ghost makeup or zombie makeup? I can satisfy you~"

Pochi hadn't even put on makeup yet, but her face had already turned pale with fear.

She shook her head repeatedly and screamed, "No, I have to go see Hongxia and the others soon. Please be magnanimous and spare me!"

Pochi immediately slid to his knees.

Miao Meng was just talking, and of course it was impossible for her to really put that kind of makeup on Pochi.

After she finished putting makeup on Aine, her next target was Pochi.

She did not take the opportunity to retaliate, but carefully applied appropriate makeup for Pochi based on her face shape and skin texture.

Looking at his face in the mirror becoming more delicate and soft little by little, Pochi was also convinced by Miao Meng's makeup skills.

She blinked and said in annoyance: "My dear Miao Meng, I was wrong. Your makeup skills are really amazing..."

"Of course, I learned a lot of skills from my boss."

Miao Meng said with a smile.
