Chapter 304 Lucky, Rejected

"Huh? Where's Rotten Xiu Xiu?"

In the lounge, Ichichi Hongxia, who had come to remind Fu Ran Xiu Xiu to get ready to go on stage, looked around and didn't see anyone. She almost thought that Fu Ran Xiu Xiu had deserted because she was too nervous.

It wasn't until other bands in the lounge told her that she found them through the backstage exit.

Well, although her forehead was sweating and her limbs were stiff due to nervousness, Rotten Xiu Xiu did not run away.

This made Yidi Chi Hongxia secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Get ready, it will be your turn to go on stage next."

"Ah!? We are the next ones to go on stage!?"

The essence of human beings is to repeat themselves. When the Rotten Xiuxiu heard that they were the next to go on stage, they almost screamed.

Especially the 'least legendary' Yuan Ying, her hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Well, after this song, there will be another song, and then it will be your turn." Ijichi Hongxia said after listening with her ears perked up.

Then, she smiled warmly and energetically like a little angel, and consoled him: "You are already very proficient in these two songs, so don't be nervous. Adjust your mindset and perform as you did in the previous rehearsal."

In the original story, her smile and comfort could even ease Pochi-chan's tension a little, and of course it had an effect on Rotten Xiu Xiu as well.

However, due to various reasons, the effect was much worse than when Iura Hide comforted her.

"Ah, yes, were you also nervous when you first performed on stage?" Yuan Ying couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course," said Ichichi Hongxia with a smile as she was about to turn around and leave.

"We only practiced for a week at most, which was too little time. And as it was Xiu's first show, hundreds of thousands of people were looking forward to his performance, so we were extremely nervous at that time."

"So how did you calm yourself down?"

"Because we have Xiu!" Yijichi Hongxia said with a look of reminiscence on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up.

"When we first started rehearsing, Pochi-chan and I kept making mistakes because we were nervous. At that time, Xiu told us not to be afraid of failure. It didn't matter if we messed up the performance. There was still a long time to go. As long as he continued to write good works, why would he be afraid of not having the opportunity to perform on stage or having fans come to see our performances?"

"And to be honest, whether it was during rehearsals or performances, I was actually just watching the show and rarely looked at the audience, so."

When Ijichi Hongxia said this, her cheeks turned slightly red and she scratched her head embarrassedly.

Fu Ran Xiu Xiu on the opposite side couldn't help but look at each other after listening to it. Although they didn't have Jing Pu Xiu, they couldn't focus all their attention on one person and ignore the audience in the stage and sing their own songs.

However, with the two singles tailored for them by Iura Hide, even if they mess up this performance, they will still have the opportunity to continue performing on stage in the future.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ying, Hoshikawa Lily and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

Junko Konno is the only one who still retains the habit of being a Showa idol and strives for perfection in every performance, and she is still very nervous.

As for Mizuno Ai, who was once a top idol, she unconsciously clenched her fists and her whole body seemed to be a little excited.

Although in terms of creation, she is far from being a match for Iura Hide, and it can even be said that she has no talent at all.

But after all, she was the iron-clad center of the popular idol group Iron Frill, which was almost at the top of the charts. If Iura Hide was able to lead the entire band to success, she could do the same.

After all, this performance is indoors, not outdoors on a rainy day, so there is no need to worry about being struck by lightning.

"Okay, let's get ready to go on stage!"

"If you're nervous later, don't look at the audience, just look at me."

"Even if it happens, we won't mess it up!"

Mizuno Ai really wanted to say that she was not afraid even if she messed up, but she was not Iura Hide after all, who had such a strong backup ability, so she could only change her words temporarily.

For a moment, except for Yamada Tae, the other five were all infected by her and couldn't help but get excited. The tension and worry in their hearts dissipated a lot again.

However, they never expected that they had just stepped onto the stage and had not had time to introduce themselves when the audience below gave them a warning.

"Huh? They're not an idol girl group dressed like this, are they?"

"Are all the stars having idol shows now? I feel so degraded!"

"That's right, that's right, no one except their LS fans will listen to the songs of those idol groups."

"Forget it, let's go get a drink, shall we?"

"Then I'm going to the bathroom too."

"Is there a smoking area here? I want to have a cigarette."

"."

Honestly, it’s not the audience’s fault for talking about it.

The main reason is that most idol songs are just too bad to listen to, and no one except their fans will listen to them.

Even fans often cannot listen to their idols' songs. They buy CDs and tickets to support their idols in person just to covet their idols' bodies.

Since the audience bought tickets to watch the performance at Fanxing instead of going to those live houses in Akihabara, it is obvious that they came to listen to the music.

Now that an idol group suddenly appears, of course they will be dissatisfied and complain.

Yuan Ying, who was already a little timid and unconfident, began to stutter as she listened to the discussions in the audience.

There were also Lili Hoshikawa, Junko Konno and even Mizuno Ai, who were more or less affected by the buzzing sounds that gathered together like noise.

There is no way around it. In the music industry, idols have always been at the bottom of the contempt chain.

But luckily, they have Nikaido Saki in their group.

Perhaps because she was once the captain of a biker gang, Nikaidou Saki, who was originally very nervous, now looked at the pairs of disgusted and contemptuous eyes in the audience and her anger rose. At this moment, she was not nervous at all.

"I'm 'No. 2', the captain of Rotten Xiu Xiu! Yo Lu Si Ku!" Nikaidou Saki shouted the last sentence 'Yo Lu Si Ku' with a Kansai accent with almost all her strength. After being amplified by the sound system, it was like a bomb exploding, making everyone's ears buzz. The originally noisy exhibition hall also became quiet in an instant.

Everyone opened their mouths and eyes unconsciously, looking at Nikaidou Saki on the stage in shock.

Especially... Ichichi Hoshige who was dozing off behind the bar.

If she wasn't afraid of being heard, she would have sworn.

Just introduce yourself, is there any need to be so loud?
What the hell is this "Ye Lu Si Ku", do you think it means joining the underworld and worshipping the boss?
but
"This little temper tantrum is quite interesting, but how is she going to break the awkward atmosphere next?"

Ijichi Hoshika first glanced at Nikaido Saki, then looked at the other people on the stage who seemed a little at a loss, and couldn't help but reveal a slightly amusement look.

Compared to the previous noise and indifference, this dead silence was obviously much worse.

And the longer the stalemate lasts, the more pressure will be on the rotten Xiu Xiu on the stage.

Just think about it, being stared at coldly by more than a hundred hostile strangers, most people would not be able to continue the performance, and would even tremble just standing on the stage, right?

But fortunately, Rotten Xiu Xiu is not the only one fighting alone, they also have... Tatsumi Kotaro!

" Music——!"

A loud roar broke the awkward atmosphere. At the same time, Tatsumi Kotaro pushed the sound engineer aside and operated the machine himself to play the accompaniment in time.

Afterwards, after hearing the dynamic electronic music prelude, the audience in the audience showed surprised expressions again.

After all, ordinary girl idols don’t play electronic music!
"It seems that this girl idol group called Rotten Xiu Xiu is different from other girl idol groups we know."

Many people had this thought, and then out of curiosity, they looked forward to their performance.

Next, they did not disappoint the expectations of the audience.

First of all, the quality of "Wake Up RETURNER" itself is no worse than songs written by ordinary underground bands. Now that it has been changed into an electronic music version, the quality has been raised to the top 50 or even top 30 of the daily charts. This is definitely a huge leap.

You know, even the famous songs of Hiroi Kikuri and her band cannot reach this level.

This means that based on the song itself, "Wake Up RETURNER" has already reached the top of the "underground level".

In addition, electronic music can cover up the flaws in singing to a large extent. Therefore, even if Fu Ran Xiu Xiu showed a lot of disappointing performances at the beginning due to nervousness, most of the audience could not hear it.

When the expressions on the audience's faces gradually changed due to the dynamic melody, Yuan Ying and the others completely relaxed and their condition became better and better.

So when the two songs were finished, no one would question why they were able to stand on the star-studded stage.

"It's a pity that they already have a production company, otherwise if they signed Jinxiu's artist agency, they would definitely become one of the agency's trump cards."

Ijichi Hongxia, who was standing by, looked at Yuanying and the others on the stage with excitement on their faces, and couldn't help but think secretly in her heart.

She was not really envious of the success of Fu Ran Xiu Xiu's performance. After all, it was Iura Hide who helped adapt Fu Ran Xiu Xiu's "RETURNER".

In comparison, she is undoubtedly luckier as she was able to directly join Thousand Miles Sunshine and form a band with Iura Hide.

"By the way, when Xiu goes to sign the contract tomorrow, should I go to the agency to take a look? Xiu said that the environment of the agency seems to be quite good. But I haven't practiced the song "You Are the One" for this Saturday yet."

Ijichi Hongxia was absent-mindedly fiddling with the straw in her hand, and she couldn't help feeling conflicted.

At the same time, Gogen Ruri, who had just come out of the subway station, was also feeling very conflicted.

"Are you okay with going home by yourself? Or should I take you home?"

When Gogen Ruri heard that Iura Hide was actually going to take the initiative to take her home, she was stunned at first, and then her heart started beating uncontrollably and she started to panic.

Although she usually reads those cult and middle school anime and light novels, but... a boy sending a girl home alone late at night is a well-known love plot!

"No, no! This guy already has a girlfriend!"

Gokou Ruri quickly reminded herself in her heart that Iura Hide already had a girlfriend, and she was a great beauty like Kitagawa Umi, with impeccable looks and figure.

So Jingpu Xiu took the initiative to take her home, simply because he saw that she was too young and was worried that it was not safe for a girl to go home alone so late.

But because of this, it doesn't matter even if she agrees, right?
For some reason, the thought that she had forcibly sealed away before unconsciously popped up in Gogen Ruri's head again, and her cheeks couldn't help but become hot.

However, she finally refused Jing Pu Xiu's offer to send her home.

In addition to being shy, it was more because of inferiority complex. He didn't want Iura Hide to see his old one-family house which still retained the Showa style.

In the original story, she was able to take the initiative to invite the Kousaka siblings to her home because the family conditions of both parties were not very different.

Although the Takasaka family is wealthier than hers, they still belong to the category of "common people".

However, Iura Hide's family is a thorough aristocratic class, and coupled with Iura Hide's own ability to make money, the gap between the two sides is really too big.

You know, in "Horimiya", even though Yoshikawa Yuki had resolved her emotional knot and tacitly agreed to date Ishikawa Toru, she still felt a lot of pressure after seeing the mansion of Ishikawa Toru's family and knowing that his family was extremely rich.

"Okay then, be careful on your way back." Jingpu Xiu said casually without thinking much about it.

Wu Geng Liuli glanced at him and wanted to retort: ​​"I don't need you to worry about me. I am the servant of the Queen of Night. The night will grant me invincible magic."

But she finally tried to maintain her well-behaved disguise, holding her schoolbag and whispered, "I know."

Under the cold night, Wu Geng Liuli lowered her head and walked alone on the way home. She felt inexplicably lonely and lost in her heart, as well as more irritability and regret.

Yes, it had only been a short time since she broke up with Iura Hide, but she had already begun to regret it.

Even though this wasn't the kind of 'cliché' plot that only appears in love light novels, this was after all the first time a boy took the initiative to offer to take her home!!!
"No, the most important thing for me now is making money!"

"With my ability, it shouldn't be difficult to become a voice actor."

"So first work hard to become a popular voice actor, and then use the popularity you already have to switch to becoming a manga artist and light novel writer. At the same time, you can also sing anime theme songs like many popular voice actors do."

"If it doesn't work out, you can try to develop into an idol."
