Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2131 The Impact of Emotions!
The practice of using songs to drive emotions and foster the budding of feelings is not unfamiliar to the songstresses from Macross.

They even seemed to know their way around quite well.

This is true of Lin Minmei, the renowned "Galaxy Diva."

Sheryl, who regards Lynn Minmay as her senior and strives to catch up with her, is no exception.

As the two talked, a rough outline had almost taken shape before their eyes.

"So, our mission is to use our songs to nurture the emotions of the Silver Clan, and then make them realize something?"

Sherry pulled Lin Mingmei to sit down in the dressing room for a long talk.

"Yes, that's right. According to He Ming's prediction, even if there are individuals in the Silver Clan who can embody the emotions of the entire clan, these individuals will have an upper limit. Under the impact of the constantly emerging emotions, these individuals will probably not be able to maintain their calm thinking for long."

"Then, it will be our home turf."

Sherry winked at Lin Mingmei and said with great enthusiasm.

"I'm a pro at getting the audience emotional!"

"Of course! After all, Sherry, you are also a famous galactic fairy!"

"Senior, you're making fun of me again! In your eyes, I'm just a little girl from back then."

On the other side, Dianella, who was carefully sensing the situation of the Silver Clan following behind, also noticed the Silver Clan's strange behavior.

After a moment of contemplation, Deannala projected her consciousness onto the location of He Ming.

"What's wrong, Princess Deanna?"

He Mingzheng and Captain Mobido exchanged their insights.

Upon seeing the projection of Deannala's consciousness appear, Mobido quickly stood up and bowed.

"Captain, there's no need for formalities. In fact, it's I who have disturbed you."

"No! Your Highness, please don't say that!"

Mobido quickly said.

"Captain, you should stay too! There's no need to leave."

Deanna was the first to see through Mobido's intention to find an excuse to leave and offered to let him stay.

"This, okay!"

Mobido thought for a moment and then slowly nodded.

"My lord, I can sense that there seems to be some change in the Silver Clan members following behind the Argonot."

"Your Highness, what is your name? Could it be that you were affected by the previous concert?"

Mobido couldn't help but ask.

Mobido was initially unaware of the plan to use singing to evoke feelings in the Silver Clan. It was only after several subsequent concerts that the radar operator on the Argonot noticed that the Silver Clan members seemed to be the same group of people coming and going. Only then did Mobido guess that this seemingly absurd plan was actually being quietly implemented with the tacit approval of He Ming and Deanella.

"Yes, that's right. I believe everyone on the Argonot has already noticed, right? Among the Silver Clan members following the Argonot, there are already at least eight round trips. And the interval between these Silver Clan members' round trips is gradually shortening."

Deanna nodded slightly and explained what she had learned through her senses and observations.

"In other words, under the influence of the song, the emotions within the Silver Clan are developing at an increasingly rapid pace, to the point that even removing them would not be able to suppress their emergence?"

Based on the information he knew and Deannaira's account, Mobido gradually pieced together the general outline of the entire plan.

"Yes. As expected of Captain Mobido. Indeed. There is a being within the Silver Clan who embodies the emotions of the entire clan. And such a being is the target of our voyage. However, since the Silver Clan's home planet has never been exposed, and humanity does not know the reason for the Star Path to the Silver Clan's home planet, we currently only have two ways to achieve this goal."

He Ming held up two fingers and said them one by one.

"First, we must rely on Princess Diannera and Xiaoya's abilities to search for the location of the Silver Clan's home planet as much as possible." "Second, we must provoke the Silver Clan as much as possible to make the being who controls the Silver Clan's emotions contact us."

"Furthermore, the first and second are not contradictory; they can even complement each other."

Mobido fell into deep thought.

Later, he tried asking.

Should we strengthen our efforts?

"No. Let's leave it at that. After all, Akemi and Sherry's stamina is limited. A concert is a battle, both physically and mentally."

He Ming shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

If their battlefield was the front line where they fought the enemy, then Lynn Minmay and Sherry Lou's battlefield was that stage.

The fighting intensity of the songstresses singing loudly is no less than that faced by the pilots on the battlefield.

"I was rash! I am very sorry! Lord He Ming."

Mobido quickly apologized.

He Ming shook his head, indicating that it was alright.

Privately, Lin Mingmei had suggested to He Ming that the concert schedule be appropriately increased to speed up the process of Baiyinzu developing feelings for her, but He Ming still refused.

While the songs of the courtesans could certainly stir emotions in the Silver Clan, that wasn't their true purpose.

He Ming prefers to let Lin Mingmei and Shirley Lu take advantage of their downtime to recuperate, maintain their voices, and accumulate more strength to unleash their full potential in the final battle, while ensuring their concert schedule is up to par.

"Then let's proceed according to the current plan!"

"It is Deannala who spoke."

"Well, let's leave it at that for now! I believe that being is about to lose patience."

Within the homeworld of the Silver Clan.

Another group of Silver Clan members have successfully had their emotions removed, allowing the calm inertia accumulated over millions of years to return to them.

After watching her clansmen leave, their expressions and gazes filled with indifference, Prome O tried to stand up, but in the next second, her body swayed and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, her student Lecty arrived in time, helped Prome Ou up, and helped her sit back down in her chair.

"Lekdi, is that you?"

Prome O said something in a daze.

"Lord Prome? You..."

Lecti was startled, then noticed that Prome was staring intently at his hands.

And those hands were trembling incessantly.

"The unease of the entire clan rests on my shoulders. Lekdi."

Prome murmured words that Lecty couldn't understand at first.

“Amidst this unease, I saw many emotions that the Silver Clan had never experienced or felt before.”

"And this feeling is extremely strong, extremely passionate."

"Like the fire used by a primitive civilization, it burns everything that comes near it to ashes."
