Uneasy daily life

Through the gap in the curtains backstage, four heads looked out from top to bottom, and one could vaguely make out the figures of some loyal audience members.

"Hmm...it's not deserted."

Yamada Ryo, who was at the top, roughly estimated the number of people, which was only 20% less than usual.

"Yes, even though it rained heavily today, there were still a lot of guests..."

The second-ranked Ichiji Nijika excitedly said, "Everyone should do their best later."

Kita, in position three, nodded repeatedly: "Some of them are guests who came for us, so we must give them a wonderful performance!"

"That's right!"

At the very bottom, Goto Ichiri's eyes burned with a small flame, radiating a fighting spirit that defied the odds, a heroic determination to contend with the heavens: "I can't let my fans down! Hehe, fans... I have fans coming to see my performance..."

The fan-shaped figures show a tendency to soften.

The three looked at each other, never expecting that at this crucial moment, the one who was usually the most taciturn would be the most determined.

It's probably similar to the logic that weirdo instilled confidence in Boqi-chan. Although everyone sold their tickets, because of the heavy rain, none of the ticket holders could come, but the two girls who bought Boqi-chan's tickets did come.

If Pochi-chan (Goto-kun) is so energetic, I can't be outdone!

In the area outside the stage, several guests were chatting casually while playing on their phones.

"The rain is really heavy today."

"Yeah yeah."

"Miss Yang's performance... Hmm? Wasn't it scheduled to be the last show? It seems it was changed to the first show at the last minute."

"Yeah."

"The second show, the closing band? Have you heard of it?"

No, no.

"It's pretty boring. It would be great if Ms. Yang added another match."

"Yes, yes."

The gap in the curtain was closed with one hand.

With her hands on her hips, Ichiji Nijika said with great confidence, "After all, we're not very famous yet, and not many audiences know us. Let's fire the first shot to end the band's reign today!"

"Mmm, don't worry about it, don't worry about it."

Yamada Ryo clasped his hands together and mumbled something in his mind, desperately trying to find the perfect solution at the last minute.

"Now is the time to cheer up even more..." Kita was halfway through encouraging him when he suddenly saw a puddle of Goto Ichiri on the ground and exclaimed in surprise, "Goto-kun? Are you alright!"

"I was arrogant and conceited. I thought I was so great just because I have two fans. I should just be a paramecium in the toilet and get sent away with one click..."

With the performance drawing near, has Goto Ichiri lost his fighting spirit?!

The band is in grave danger! The three immediately try to save the day. Yamada Ryo volunteers to crouch down and whispers into Pochi's ear, "Pochi is the best! Pochi is the most amazing! Spallanzani, the soul of the band, the ultimate sunny and popular guy..."

Goto Ichiri remained motionless.

Yamada Ryo asked, puzzled, "Huh? Why didn't it work?"

You clearly borrowed money successfully using this method before.

"Even that move didn't work?" Kita exclaimed in surprise. "Could it be that their resistance has increased?!"

"Oh dear, at a time like this..." Ichiji Nijika crossed her arms, her ahoge (cowlick) spinning in a spiral as she pondered, "That white figure might be able to come up with a solution..."

"Who is praying to me? Who is calling my true name? Since you have prayed so sincerely, we will respond to you with great mercy!"

A powerful voice suddenly came from outside the stage.

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Surely... the people outside couldn't hear them? And that strangely familiar voice...

The two looked at Ijichi Nijika's mouth, probably to check if it had been blessed.

Ijichi Nijika waved her hand speechlessly, and the three of them slightly pulled back the curtain, dragging Goto Ichiri over as well, and looked out again through the gap in the curtain.

The white figure is... introducing itself?

Mai Sakurajima is holding a pen and appears to be signing autographs for someone. After all, she's a former national idol, not to mention she's recently become popular again.

The surrounding area was filled with guests waiting for the show to begin.

"To prevent the world from becoming too dull, to protect the world from its clamor, to uphold love and authentic life, a lovable and charming righteous character!"

"White Shadow, Hero Plus!"

"We are a team that travels the world! A passionate and exciting tomorrow awaits us!"

"That's it—like that—like that—like that—"

Bai Ying delivered a passionate speech, his tone rising and falling. He glanced sideways at Sakurajima Mai, drawing out the last syllable of his words.

Facing the stares of those around her and the fans waiting for her autograph, Mai Sakurajima's brow twitched slightly, feeling immense pressure.

So you were waiting for me here?!

The guests held their breath, some already sensing the strong aroma of the melon and instinctively pulling out their phones. They remained silent, as if a volcano was brewing its emotions, deciding whether to erupt or let out a silent fart. Even the fans waiting for autographs had no interest in whether their autographs had been produced.

This classic line from Pokemon is widely known among guests of this age. Although Bai Ying slightly modified it, the tone and imitation made the change in the content of the line seem insignificant!

Is it coming? Will Mai Sakurajima respond?!

Mai Sakurajima began to think like lightning.

She turned her head to look at the white figure, smiled slightly, and said with a calm expression, "Meow."

A silent cheer erupted from the crowd, with shares, likes, and posts popping up on social media. Many, recovering from their initial daze of their idol, turned their attention to Bai Ying—was this the same Bai Liang Bai Ying?!

"Where is your struggle? Where is your stubborn resistance? Where is your questioning? Where is your attempt to change the subject? Where is your shame? Where is your aggression? How can a grown woman act so coy?!"

Bai Ying said discontentedly, "You look down on me, you won't even blush!"

"is it?"

Mai Sakurajima casually brushed it off, smoothing her hair as she continued signing autographs for fans. Under the curious gazes of her fans, she calmly explained, "When I had some problems filming before and decided to take a break from the entertainment industry to calm down, he made a bet with me, saying that I would definitely return to the entertainment industry. The bet was for me to meow like a cat... When I announced my comeback, he didn't say anything. Turns out he was planning to do it for me in public."

The surrounding gazes, which initially seemed eager to kill him, now turned into a more deliberate determination to kill him as well.

Mai Sakurajima signed her name: "Here you go, have a nice day."

"Oh... thank you!" The fan excitedly accepted the autograph. "Ms. Sakurajima Kizuna is here to see the show too? Which band are you with? Ms. Haruno?"

"I came to see the band finish their performance."

Mai Sakurajima waved the ticket in her hand and laughed, "I bought one by chance when they were selling tickets."

Having satisfied their curiosity about seeing their idols, and after getting their autographs, a few fans with darker skin tones didn't disturb them and started whispering amongst themselves.

"The End Band? Have you heard of them?"

"It must be pretty amazing, since Ms. Sakurajima came all the way to see the performance."

"What are you doing?"

"I casually mentioned that I bumped into Mai Sakurajima at the performance hall—a few friends bought tickets in advance, but couldn't come because of the rain, hehehe..."

Sakurajima Mai glanced at it, then followed the white figure that entered the backstage area from the side with a slightly excited expression.

"Why does the hater seem unhappy?"

"You've gotten so shameless," Bai Ying said with a pained expression. "Hero Plus, once a young girl loses the ability to blush, she becomes an auntie!"

"Is it possible that it's not that I'm too thick-skinned, but rather that the haters' tricks are too weak?"

Mai Sakurajima fiddled with her phone for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

"Tsk."

Bai Ying clicked his tongue slightly, then decided to temporarily change his tactics and bully the weak to relieve his emotions. Anyway, he still had a trump card that was enough to crush even the strongest warrior, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

The four members of the band are now trembling with fear, at a loss, and completely at a loss. They are stubbornly insisting that everything is fine, hehehehe—!

Sakurajima Mai was in a great mood. She put her phone away, and a new post was already published on her newly active account.

Mai Sakurajima

【@Bai Liang Bai Ying】

【Meow.】

Chapter 129 Hi hi hi!

"come on!"

"Together!"

"Ah, um!"

"Make a lot of money!"

Of the four people who were sitting in a circle, each with their right hands stacked on top of each other, three of them were taken aback and looked at Yamada Ryo, who had a serious expression on his face.

Yamada Ryo tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Isn't the next step to raise our hands and say 'Oh—' together?"

"Change your slogan!" Ichiji Nijika gave him a dead cat look, hands on her hips, exuding an imposing aura. "Now is not the time for you to spout nonsense. And Pochi, don't... think about the fans who are looking forward to your performance!"

"Ah, oh!"

"Oh, no, that won't work either!"

Kita enthusiastically said, "Senior is talking about acting, Goto-kun is talking about acting!"

Yamada Ryo made a hand gesture: "OK".

"Phew... Let's do it again!"

With Ijichi Nijika leading the way, the four of them put their hands together again.

"come on!"

"Together!"

"effort!"

"Performance!"

An awkward silence!

"Oh—oh?"

Pink, blue, yellow, and red all turned to look at the black that had infiltrated their ranks.

"Yo, Brave Pro."

Bai Ying greeted him cheerfully, "I've come to see your official performance."

"Do your best in the performance later!" Mai Sakurajima said with a smile as she walked in.

"Ah, oh..." Goto Ichiri was a little flustered. It was raining today, and most of the customers who bought tickets for others didn't come, but not only did all the people who bought his tickets come, but one of them was a big star...

I'm so touched! So many people braved the rain to come for me!

"It rained today! Red bean paste, a secret marathon!"

Kita and Ijichi Nijika quickly intervened to correct the logical inconsistency, and Goto Ichiri attempted to express his sincere gratitude by bowing deeply.

Mai Sakurajima chuckled and shook her head helplessly. She's still so easily startled.

"It's alright," Bai Ying waved her hand and said, "Everyone is looking forward to your performance right now. Save your dogeza apology for when you make a mistake on stage."

The atmosphere, which had just become lively, froze. Ichiji Nijika cast a murderous glare at them—Wow! This guy! They had finally gotten the audience excited and motivated!

"Ah, it's alright! Everyone's looking forward to our performance—yes! We're going to put on a show that defeats the typhoon!"

Goto Ichiri clenched his fist, but instead of turning gray immediately, he unleashed a powerful fighting spirit that seemed capable of dispersing rain clouds.

"What if a guitar string suddenly breaks during a performance?"

"Huh? No, that's unlikely..."

Fighting Spirit - 1.

Have you eaten anything before?

"Ah, I drank some Coke."
