Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 463 A tacit understanding
"In this state, physical recovery is naturally the most important thing."

"But if I go to the hospital for treatment, that means I won't be able to attend the Tokyo Newcomer Music Awards, and the chorus performance of "Fireworks" will also be cancelled..."

"By the way, what time is it now... 7:50?!"

Xia Fan looked up at the time and his face suddenly changed.

"So, in ten minutes, the Tokyo Newcomer Music Awards ceremony will begin?"

"We have to find a reason quickly and have President Tachibana tell the organizers, otherwise it will be disastrous."

While thinking of an excuse, he took out his cell phone and dialed Tachibana Ryoko.

"Award...Ceremony..."

Hoshina Hanami, who was standing beside him, seemed to have heard some "key words" and suddenly raised her head and looked at Xia Fan.

"Sing with Xia Fan... and set off... fireworks..."

She looked a little excited, like a babbling baby, and murmured slowly...

“There is a reaction…”

"Hanami! You haven't forgotten, right? Our promise..."

Although Hoshina Hanami's reactions were still dull and she was only repeating simple words, such progress was enough to make Xia Fan ecstatic.

"Natsu-kun, are you and Hanami together? Why aren't you answering the phone?!"

"Dongye and I searched the business practice room thoroughly, but we couldn't find anyone. Where did you go?"

On the other end of the line, Tachibana Ryoko's anxious voice was heard.

"I'm sorry, President Tachibana, Hoshina and I changed places to practice, so we were delayed and didn't pay attention to the time..."

Xia Fan could only pick up the distant phone and answer perfunctorily with a bitter face.

In order to prevent the mission from being disrupted, the Ninth Class naturally did not really use the practice room open to the public as the venue, but instead renovated and arranged a "clone site" on the upper floor. Naturally, the two presidents could not find anyone...

"I've been through this before, too. I understand that you young people are in love and want to change places to practice something else, but at least you should pay attention to the time, okay?"

"Anyway, the award ceremony will begin in ten minutes. Xiao Huajian is the first place winner, which means she will be the first to perform and receive the award. You must arrive on site within twenty minutes!"

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up right away!"

The award ceremony was about to begin and time was running out, so Tachibana Ryoko didn't have time to argue too much with Xia Fan.

"Well, this is what I wanted to tell you... Hanami-chan..."

Xia Fan hesitated and couldn't think of a good reason to "ask for leave" for a moment.

"Otherwise, we can say that we encountered a traffic accident on the way there. Lesson 9 will fake the accident scene perfectly..."

Jinguji Aoi, who had been listening quietly, leaned forward and whispered a suggestion.

"Hanami, I'm going to attend...the award ceremony..."

"Hanami, I want to sing "Light up the Fireworks" with Xia Fan..."

"It's an appointment..."

But just as Xia Fan was about to say the "reason", Hoshina Hanami, who was standing in front of him, suddenly spoke.

She spoke more fluently than before, and her originally indifferent voice now held a hint of urgency.

"Hanami's condition...has improved again...Yes, that Yunwaijing said..."

"When encountering something related to obsession, her consciousness that was worn out in the Three Ways Sea may be restored!"

"Since Hanami's obsession is this stage, then..."

Xia Fan thought about it and made a bold decision.

"President Tachibana, there's no need to come pick us up. I'll be there with Hanami in twenty minutes."

Having said this, Xia Fan hung up the phone.

"Jinguji..."

"Well, the car for Lesson 9 is downstairs and can leave at any time." He just looked up at Jinguji Aoi, and the other party had already given an answer.

"If Miss Xingming's mental condition is not strong enough to go on stage at the event, we will arrange for a forged medical record and have her agent accept the award on her behalf."

Obviously she had guessed Xia Fan's plan, and in a moment she had considered all the subsequent details.

The award ceremony of the "Tokyo Newcomer Music Awards" and the agreement to sing a new single with Xia Fan, these two things are naturally the most important obsessions that support Hoshina Hanami to prevent her "self" from being swallowed by the Sanzu Sea.

Therefore, the stage that is about to begin is obviously the most suitable opportunity to awaken Hoshina Hanami.

"As expected of Jinguji..."

This reaction, which was almost like "mind reading", made Xia Fan stunned.

"Why are you still standing there? If you want to use this stage to awaken Miss Xingming's consciousness, you have to hurry up."

Aoi Jinguji smiled gently and reminded playfully.

"As expected of Jinguji Aoi, you are so in tune with me! Then, we will leave first..."

"Advisor Xia Fan, this way please!"

Xia Fan simply carried Hoshina Hanami on his back and rushed out of the practice room under the guidance of the ninth section agent.

"Are you in sync?"

"Mr. Xia Fan, as a Dragon Countryman, you must understand the original meaning of this word."

Looking at Xia Fan's departing back, Jinguji Aoi covered her hot cheeks.

……

When Xia Fan walked downstairs to the music practice room, he found that night had fallen and the lights were on.

"Advisor Xia Fan, the car is over here!"

"Okay, hurry up please."

"Don't worry, just follow the speed of chasing the criminals!"

He took Hoshina Hanami into the business car waiting on the roadside and sped towards Kanda Shrine.

"There are so many people. It's worthy of the Kanda Festival..."

The closer we got to Kanda Shrine, the slower the traffic on the street became, and the sidewalks on both sides were crowded with people wearing yukatas who came out to experience the summer festival.

"Oh no... the road ahead is blocked..."

"Damn it, this car doesn't have police lights, otherwise I could just squeeze out..."

The agent driving the commercial vehicle honked his horn angrily, but the torrent of steel around him remained unmoved.

Now that the opening ceremony is over, the three-day Kanda Festival has officially begun. Many people who have just gotten off work can't wait to come and watch the performances and visit the market. This is when the flow of people is the busiest.

"Only ten minutes left?"

"It's too late, let me out of the car, I'll run over!"

After glancing at the time, Xia Fan opened the car door without hesitation, held Hoshina Hanami in his arms, and rushed onto the sidewalk.

"Hanami...don't worry...you'll make it in time..."

"You must go on stage in person to receive the first prize at the Tokyo Newcomer Music Awards!"

Holding the girl's delicate body effortlessly, Xia Fan ran swiftly like a cheetah...

With the two protective powers of [Naked Body] and [Puppet on the Shed] at full power, the hustle and bustle of traffic and the huge crowds of people in front of him could not stop his steps!

"Hanami... needs to go on stage... to receive the award..."

"I've also made an appointment with Xia Fan... to sing a duet..."

Hoshina Hanami in his arms nodded as if she understood, and her little hands helplessly grasped Xia Fan's chest.
