A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

So, what she had to do next was to focus the attention of everyone in the audience during this one-minute silence and darkness!

Just like that, under the incomparably astonished gazes of the harmony singers around her, Sanjiao Hatsuka slowly walked to the center of the stage...to the position of Hoshino Ai.

The moment she officially stepped onto the stage, the confusion and doubt in the entire audience turned into surprise and anticipation.

Guided by the starlight, Sanjiao Chuhua came to Hoshino Ai:

"Do as I say next, love."

Under the faint fluorescent light, Sanjiao Chuhua said:

"Next, the two of us are going to make this blackout... a part of this Live."

Chapter 39 アイドル (Part 2)

Although it was an emergency, both the stage manager and the office staff were experienced professionals, so almost the moment the power outage occurred, they immediately set out to activate the backup power supply.

Just as the staff were about to reach the backup power switch, the lighting engineer who had been paying attention to the stage suddenly turned to the staff in charge of the sound system behind him and said:

"Sound engineer, don't play the accompaniment immediately after the backup power is restored. Turn on microphones one and two first, then wait for my instructions to resume playing from the interruption point!"

Although no one knew what exactly happened on the stage, in such an emergency, even a second of hesitation could lead to completely different results.

So, under the instruction of the lighting technician, he focused all his attention on the operating screen in front of him.

Soon, when the backup power was activated, he pressed the pause button almost as quickly as possible. At the same time, the lighting engineer did not immediately activate the original lighting plan, but slowly lit the lights from the edge of the stage to the center.

"Is that what you mean, Chihaya?"

【Yes! 】

The next second, accompanied by a noise that made people's ears hurt, Chihaya Tetsuya's voice came from the staff's intercom.

[Now, please ask the sound engineer to play the accompaniment! ]

……

At first, when the lights and music suddenly disappeared, many viewers immediately realized that it might be an unexpected power outage.

However, immediately afterwards, when a figure that seemed to carry the stars in the night sky slowly walked from behind the scenes to the center of the stage, they couldn't help but wonder whether this was intentional by the Live team.

Then, the lights at the edge of the stage suddenly came on, providing enough illumination on the stage to just reveal two blurry figures.

And the next second, when Sanjiao Chuhua's voice rang out again from the speakers, everyone was immediately convinced that this was exactly the performance effect carefully set up for this live performance -

Yes, that child is the most special.

Only a few fluorescent figures could be seen, slowly surrounding Hoshino Ai who was still standing in the center of the stage.

[We were defeated from the very beginning]

It was almost emotionless, like a statement of common sense.

[I'm just a foil for the first-class star. Everything is thanks to that child——]

Even though it’s rap, it makes people feel extremely strong and real emotions.

As the long dress dotted with stars continued to dance, almost everyone's attention was deeply attracted by the incredibly wonderful scene before them.

boom--!

The lights near the center came on again.

The figures of the two people on the stage became clearer.

Finally, the light on the stage was bright enough for the audience to see the two idols clearly.

At this moment, most of the lights on the stage are still focused on Hoshino Ai.

But precisely because of this, the starlight dotted on the long skirt still shines brightly in the darkness beyond the light.

On this stage, the two of them once again displayed their equal aura, leaving the entire audience in a state of confusion, not knowing where to look.

……

(In such a short time... the accident was made part of the performance in an impromptu way...)

On the stage, looking at Sanjiao Chuhua who took the initiative to withdraw from the lighting range and stayed in the darkness, Hoshino Ai's eyes couldn't help but waver slightly.

Even if she were to go back to that moment a minute ago, she probably wouldn't be able to come up with such a brilliant improvisation in such a short time.

This is why he can't beat Sanjiao Chuhua no matter what.

Her sharpness and intelligence give her almost perfect control over the situation.

At the same time, the gauze skirt made by Zhe herself also provided indispensable power for her impromptu performance.

It was that long dress that shone brightly in the darkness that turned all the audience's uneasiness and doubt into anticipation and surprise.

In other words, the turnaround of this live event from danger to safety... was entirely based on the efforts of her and Chihaya Tetsuya.

On the other side, after seeing Hoshino Ai's eyes full of amazement and admiration, a smile appeared on Sankaku Hatsuka's face:

[How can someone so proud and arrogant not be envied? ]

[This isn't a cliché, but that's what makes it so hard to forgive.]

[I can’t forgive the imperfect you, nor can I forgive myself for losing to you]

This was not a movement in the original choreography, nor was it something I had seen during rehearsal.

However, when Hoshino Ai saw Sankaku Hatsuka's finger slowly pointing towards her, she immediately understood how to use the emotions she had mobilized next -

[Except for you, I find it hard to admit that anyone is better than others! ]

This is probably Chuhua’s declaration of war.

From then on, she no longer worried about herself and took care of herself like she did in the past.

She will truly become her own rival and steal the attention that was originally focused on her on the stage.

boom!

This time, all the lights finally came on.

The gauze skirt that originally only emitted a few fluorescent spots in the dark, under the full light, the double-layer embroidery on the hem of the gauze skirt, which was repeatedly experimented by Chihaya Tetsuya, also showed a star embroidery pattern.

On this stage, two "gods" appeared at the same time.

(Ahh… This time, I’m really going to be jealous, Zhe.)

Hoshino Ai also extended her hand and raised the microphone together with Mikado Hatsuka:

……

【There is always someone who will get everything】

I am such a greedy idol

This time, the chorus was sung by two people.

And when Sanjiao Chuhua's figure in a gauze dress was fully reflected in the eyes of all the audience, the atmosphere of the live show also reached its peak!

"Chuhua is so beautiful!"

"That dress is so pretty! Not only does it glow in the dark, but under the light you can even see the star pattern on it, just like the dress I love!"

“This is definitely the work of the same designer!”

"It really deserves to be called 'Summer Zodiac'."

Before we knew it, the color ratio of the glow sticks in the audience was no longer unbalanced.

All the audience holding two glow sticks involuntarily adjusted them to gold and red respectively.

At this moment, the two idols on the stage have become the protagonists at the same time!

"……call."

Seeing this, Chihaya Tetsuya finally let out a long sigh.

"Sorry, this is back to you."

As he spoke, he returned the walkie-talkie to the staff member next to him who was still confused.

The moment the power outage occurred, he almost without hesitation came to the staff member, snatched his walkie-talkie, and gave the instructions to the backstage.

“Fortunately, when we were developing the lighting plan, the lighting designer and I already had a thorough understanding of the program’s workflow.”

It was precisely because of this that the two were able to take advantage of this subtle pause, as well as the subsequent improvisation performed by Triangle Chuhua, to turn this stage accident that nearly turned into a disaster into a surprise performance.

"This way, this crisis will be completely resolved..."

Just when Chihaya Tetsuya felt completely relieved, the two people on the stage suddenly pointed at their position for some unknown reason.

[Today I still tell lies, hoping that these lies will one day become the truth]

[But even so, I have never said these words to you alone:]

Chihaya Tetsu, who was standing in the center of the stage, looked up at the stage in astonishment.

At the same time, the two idols also cast extremely fiery glances towards him:

Ah, I finally said it.

[This sentence is definitely not a lie——I love you! ]

As the last line of the lyrics came to an end, the entire audience instantly became boiling. The almost deafening cheers made Chihaya Tetsuya realize that the place he had rushed to in a hurry was actually the front of the stage.

The actions of the two people just now were probably not directed at him, it was just because he happened to appear here.

But, if that's the case...

"Why are you two still looking at me even though the music has stopped?"

Seeing this, Chihaya Tetsuya looked around first. Seeing that no one seemed to notice the abnormality on his side, he quickly pretended to be a staff member and quietly retreated to his previous position.

At the same time, the two people on the stage had finished their performance and bowed to the audience seats.

The next second, just when Chihaya Tetsuya thought that the following interaction would be as usual, Sankaku Hatsuka's words almost made him scream out loud -

"What did you think of the show just now?"

"Highest!!!!!"

"Thank you, everyone. Now, I'm sure you're all quite impressed by the dresses we're both wearing right now, right?"

As Sankaku Hatsuka spoke, she turned lightly on the spot, while on the other side, Hoshino Ai also understood what she meant and put down the microphone, posing in a pose that is very common among print models.

"Before this live, you may have heard in person or online that the costumes for our live are all provided by the same designer! So now, let me take this opportunity to make a big announcement!"

"[Summer Zodiac] will officially sign a contract with a new fashion brand called [StarrySky] after this live performance and become their exclusive model! And at [TGC] this September, Ai will be wearing clothes provided by this brand and completing her first fashion show! Stay tuned!"

"Oh oh oh——!"

In this way, the [TGC] trailer, which the audience seemed to be extremely looking forward to, once again aroused cheers from fans, and major media outlets began to quickly record this major announcement without any warning.

Amidst this sea of ​​jubilation, only one person displayed an expression of immense astonishment, as if struck by lightning:

"……Eh?"

Chapter 40 The Butterfly Effect.

"What was that just now?"

Chihaya Aine, who witnessed the whole process backstage, was so surprised that she couldn't even close her mouth.

"Can that really be considered a regular idol live? Didn't we just witness something truly extraordinary?!"

Because they were backstage, the five people present knew very well that the darkness just now was not a deliberate arrangement, but a complete accident.

It is precisely because of this that this already perfect live performance has been elevated to a level that is almost a "miracle".

“The performance was so perfect that it was like they had a power outage plan.”

As Shiina Riki spoke, he turned and asked Kaname Rakuna:

"Le Nai, the 'problem' you just mentioned...is this what you're referring to?"

"kindness."
