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

Chapter 97 Xia Fan's "On-the-spot Performance" (First Order)
Ignoring the protests from the audience, Xia Fan silently contributed a gorgeous "one-man band" performance that was as showy as a show.

At this moment, he no longer suppressed the crazy idea of ​​"playing until death" transmitted by this "Tsukosangami Electronic Keyboard". Instead, he sank into it and fell rapidly to the bottom of the rhythm abyss.

It is more accurate to say that it is not so much Xia Fan himself who is playing the instrument, but rather this Tsukosangami electronic keyboard that is guiding and moving his body, instinctively playing the melody in his heart.

"Okay, that's gorgeous!"

"Can an electronic keyboard be pushed to this limit?"

"Based on your hand speed, I recognize your 'yellow-haired' qualifications!"

Yang's performance required one person to memorize all the scores of five instruments, and at the same time required smooth switching of sound effects. The performance could only be supported by extremely fast and accurate playing, which drew waves of applause from the audience.

"How strange! Isn't this a singing competition?"

"Student Xia Fan was just reading like a charm from the beginning to the end, and he didn't sing a word at all!"

Shibata Makoto finally couldn't help it, and with an "innocent" smile, he loudly "protested" with sarcasm.

"Yes, in the original song, I remember the male part should also be sung..."

"I see. Have all the male lyrics been adapted into rap? There's no rhyme. Is it TRAP style?"

“Although it’s a bit strange, the tone of the rap can better highlight the straight male meaning of the lyrics, which is more in line with the mood of the song and is novel!”

This song "Summer Meeting in Tokyo" is a well-known sweet duet song between a man and a woman. Some audience members immediately noticed the parts that the two had changed.

That’s right, because of Xia Fan’s “singing skills” problem, Horie Tsubasa changed all the lyrics of the boys’ part into a “stick reading rap” format.

"What is TRAP? Listen carefully. Can this be called rap?"

The audience's imagination made Shibata Makoto feel very disappointed.

On the stage, the melody of the song gradually slowed down. Horie Tsubasa pursed his lips slightly, looked at Xia Fan pitifully, and sang in a crisp voice: "I'm a little thirsty."

Xia Fan played the piano with one hand and raised a half-bottle of mineral water as a prop with the other hand, and responded with a dull rap: "Then drink mine?"

Horie Tsubasa blushed slightly, buried her head in her chest, and swayed from side to side on tiptoe: "Is this the legendary indirect kiss?"

Her voice suddenly rose, twisting and turning like a young girl's thoughts.

Finally, Xia Fan, who was concentrating on playing, raised his head for the first time and looked at her: "Do you realize it?"

Horie Tsubasa straightened his chest and looked at him with courage: "I understand."

In the subtle eye contact, the two of them sang in harmony for the first time: "Let's just stay thirsty like this."

“Ahhhhh…what are you doing…”

"Drink it right now and give me a hard indirect kiss!"

This duet, which was full of ambiguity yet ended in a subtle way, coupled with the duo's good looks and matching outfits, made the audience feel as excited as if they were watching a romance drama, and they wished they could go on stage themselves and tie the two together.

"It's so beautiful. Very beautiful."

"The fireworks that I could only watch from afar are now right in front of me."

"Time please stop, I really don't want to go back today."

"I like it."

"I like it, too."

On the stage, Xia Fan and Horie Tsubasa kept looking at each other and continued to sing increasingly ambiguous lyrics.

Although Xia Fan's voice is mediocre and his singing style is unskillful, he can only meet the minimum standard of "not out of tune"...

But Horie Tsubasa, who sang with him, is the "Queen of Variety" who can master "Gurenge".

Her voice has a unique texture, full of the sweet love of a young girl, and it has captured the audience's ears from the beginning. Not only that, Horie Tsubasa also cleverly uses singing techniques to perfectly complement Xia Fan's voice, blending into a pleasant harmony.

"No, I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore!"

"Why do I have to be shown off to someone who loves me even though I'm just here to watch a singing competition?"

The melody was moving, the harmony was pleasant, and on and off the stage, the heart-pounding atmosphere of love was instantly ignited.

"..."

With his hands constantly stroking the black and white keys, Xia Fan's gaze suddenly moved to behind Horie Tsubasa...

There, on the staff passage on one side of the auditorium, several strong staff members wearing 71 convenience store uniforms and masks were carrying mineral water, tissues and other supplies and slowly moving backstage...

The reason why Xia Fan noticed these people was not because of their eyes hidden under the baseball cap, which ignored the more dazzling Horie Tsubasa and stayed on himself.

"These people, could it be that..."

It was because, in his sight, there was a barely perceptible grey-black aura lingering around those people.

"We must find a way to remind Lesson 9 immediately."

Just at this moment, the chorus part ends and the final solo stage of the last person's sentence begins.

"I gently touch your left hand that seems to be waiting for something."

"I want to hold your hand, I want to take you away without saying a word."

Xia Fan kept playing music with his left hand while slowly raising his right hand with his fingertips moving horizontally towards the bottom of the stage. For the first time, he did not rap but sang out loud.

His solo was not full of emotion, and the timbre was not amazing, but the song was still in tune, with no merits or faults.

"Xia Jun, is this an improvisation?"

In the previous line of lyrics, Xia Fan was supposed to rap, and he didn't raise his hands during practice, which confused Horie Tsubasa for a moment.

"In fact, I've already noticed this distance that's within reach. I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand and shake it back in one go."

But it was only for a moment, and she responded by raising her hand in the air and finished singing the last sentence.

"Advisor Xia Fan's movements are a bit strange... He's not pointing at the girls, but at those three people..."

Rimu, who was watching from the edge of the stage the whole time, keenly noticed Xia Fan's strange gestures.

"Temporary Command Center, have the identities of the three convenience store employees who just entered the venue been verified?"

Looking in the direction of Xia Fan's finger, he naturally noticed the convenience store clerks who were delivering supplies.

“The three people were wearing masks, so facial recognition could not confirm their identities, but we verified that they were delivery workers from a nearby 71 convenience store who were responsible for delivering the orders.”

"According to the hidden security equipment at the door, the three people did not have any weapons. Since this morning, they have been carrying things into the venue several times, and they just put down the things and left. There is no suspicious behavior at the moment."

"I just checked the employment information registered by the convenience store. All three of them had worked for a company called 'Inamori Catering'. This is a little suspicious. I have put the three of them on the key attention list."

Soon, the temporary command center responded.

"No, Consultant Xia Fan would not make such a meaningless hint. These three people are definitely not that simple..."

"Backstage team, be alert and keep an eye on the three people in the convenience store!"

Seeing the three people entering the backstage through the staff passage, Higurashi quickly followed them.

By the way, I would like to recommend the song "Tokyo Summer Meeting". It is recommended that you take it while drinking.
