Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

No, it's because the dining service this morning has already ended. It's definitely not because those Sailor Moon girls who took photos with me happened to walk into the store and greet Ito that made Nagano Sae's eyes turn cold.

Her eyes were naturally cold.

Just as he was being kicked out of the store by Nagano Sae, his phone received a transfer from her.

The total income was 20,000 yen. Miscellaneous transportation expenses and the like were offset by the silver chain on Ito's wrist.

The workmanship is not bad, and it's made of silver, so it could be worth quite a bit of money, at least enough for the fare.

It seems that Nagano Sae will be staying inside for a while longer, so she doesn't need to suppress herself anymore.

He wandered aimlessly around the anime convention. Asada had recently posted that she and Takikawa had gotten into their manager's car and would arrive in about half an hour.

Ito glanced down at his watch; it was about 12:55, meaning he could wander around freely for 30 minutes.

First, we arrived at the digital zone booth, where we were warmly invited by the staff to experience the latest equipment.

I then went to the galgame section and tried a few games, all of which ended in failure as soon as I passed the single route.

This prompted the otaku watching from the sidelines to shake their heads and sigh, marveling at how he truly was a character. When developing a relationship with the female lead, he chose to go fishing and play ping-pong, and consistently maintained a distance from the girl in terms of choices.

"Ito-senpai, you can't do this." Someone put their hand on his shoulder.

Ito turned around and saw the familiar, kind-looking guy, Ryota Miura. A second-year student in the film club, he was mainly in charge of photography and was good at capturing subtle moments.

"What are you doing here? Are you here for the comic convention too?" Ito asked, noticing the backpack on the other person's back, which probably contained photography equipment.

However, it's quite embarrassing to be spotted in the galgame section by acquaintances, and even more embarrassing is that everyone there is in the singles section.

"Yes, I took on a filming commission and just finished. But Ito-kun, I've been observing you for a while now, and your skills are truly exceptional... I'm starting to doubt the truth of the rumors at school."

"What rumors?" Ito frowned. What kind of scandalous news had been leaked about him again?

"N-nothing," Miura evaded the question. "Ito-nii, what are you doing here? Could Takikawa-senpai be that mystery guest?"

How are these two connected? What is the relationship between his appearance and Takikawa? Although Takikawa is indeed a mystery guest, the reason for his appearance is fundamentally because of Nagano Sae.

Ito nodded, tacitly acknowledging that Takikawa was the mystery guest. There was no point in hiding it; everyone would find out in half an hour.

“Just as I expected.” Miura gave a look that said, 'Just as I predicted.'

He still misunderstood.

"Don't misunderstand, I have nothing to do with her." We can't let the misunderstanding deepen.

"Hmm, hmm, I understand." Miura's expression turned slightly playful again, and with a smile, he patted Ito's shoulder. "Senpai, I understand everything."

No, you don't understand at all.

"Didn't you accept the commission? Hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting." The senior, enraged, began to shoo him away.

"I finished filming this morning, so now I'm taking a stroll."

"Then why don't you take more orders?"

"Because the afternoon is reserved for Azi." As he said this, you could clearly see the fervor in his eyes.

"Who is Azusa?" Ito vaguely remembered seeing this name on the guest list.

"No way, senior, you don't even know Azi? Are you still a high school student?"

Miura's expression of surprise seemed genuine; it must be some kind of common knowledge he didn't know.

"You're not the first to say that, tell me a little about it."

Miura nodded enthusiastically, just like when recommending a favorite anime series like Fate to someone.

His eyes lit up as he pulled a support sign from his backpack that read "Azusa J&D for life".

"Brother Ito, you've come to the right person. As a die-hard member of Azusa's fan club, I will tell you the whole story of Azusa's life!"

"Please try to make it as easy to understand and concise as possible."

Miura's expression turned incredulous. "You really don't want to hear it all the way through?"

"In no mood?"

"Very quickly?"

"I'll just Google it on the spot..."

"Stop!" Miura stopped Ito from taking out her phone and spoke very quickly, "She is a VTuber, but unlike ordinary VTubers, she still posts real photos of herself, though of course, without showing her face."

"Because of his aloof personality, coupled with his extremely high anime and manga content, he often posts cosplays with his face blurred and covers of his own songs, which is why he became popular."

Ito nodded knowingly; he understood the gist of it.

However, as a virtual streamer, it's unlikely that she'll accumulate a very high level of fame.

So it's not normal that he doesn't know.

He glanced at Miura, guessing that this was the idol in the eyes of a die-hard fan.

I hope Asada can also gain a passionate fan base.

Ito's phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw a message from Asada. It said that they had arrived at the room prepared by the organizers and were putting on makeup and changing clothes. Asada sent Ito the specific room number.

"Sorry, Miura, I have to go now." After saying goodbye to Miura, he headed backstage.

"As expected of Ito-senpai, he can handle real people with no options properly, but his galgame skills are really not impressive."

Miura nodded silently as he watched Ito's retreating figure.

......

Led by the staff, Ito arrived at the dressing room, where they had already changed their clothes and were putting on makeup.

The clothes were a modified version of the shrine maiden outfit prepared by the organizers, with the elaborate accessories removed, consisting only of a simple scarlet hakama, a haka-juban (a white kimono undergarment), and a white robe.

This dance is perfect for the song "God's Drifting Waves," since its original meaning is to pray to the gods. In Japan, priests and shrine maidens would be the most suitable performers.

He sat quietly on the sofa, listlessly scrolling through his phone, searching for Azusa, whom Miura had mentioned.

She is indeed very popular, with six times the number of fans as Sakura Bento, totaling about 300,000 fans. Today is her first time participating in an offline event.

Many fans posted photos of the event in the comments section, showing that everyone was looking forward to her appearance.

The appearance fee must be quite high; I'll ask about it later.

However... when Ito looked at the cosplay photos posted by this person named Azusa, as well as some videos of her singing in casual clothes, he felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

He thought it must be his imagination.

wrong!!!

"Ito, why are you secretly looking at pretty girls!"

"Go do your own makeup and styling." Ito waved his hand impatiently, trying to shoo Takikawa away.

"So who is this girl?" Takikawa pretended not to hear and leaned closer to Ito's phone. "She has a pretty good figure, but why isn't her face showing?"

It seems that Takikawa doesn't know Azusa either.

"He is today's guest, and I heard it's his first time participating in an offline event."

Takikawa's expression turned disgusted, and he distanced himself slightly from Ito. "So you're deliberately 'paying attention' to him? Tsk tsk, how disgusting."

"Don't make me sound so terrible, this is just normal behavior." Ito was speechless.

“Normal behavior,” Takikawa drawled, his expression playful.

Ito put his phone away and ignored Takikawa, who then took advantage of the makeup artist's absence to cause trouble.

Both Takikawa and Asada's makeup was designed to accentuate their strengths. Only a thin layer of foundation was applied, with more emphasis on contouring, perfectly showcasing Takikawa's heroic spirit and Asada's pure innocence.

"Knock! Knock!" It was a staff member wearing a sign knocking on the door.

"Teachers, you may leave now."

Takikawa turned his head and looked at her high ponytail in the mirror, which was tied with a black hairband.

Then he turned to Ito and instructed him, "Watch closely from the audience later."

"See you later." Asada followed behind Takikawa, clutching the cuff of her shrine maiden outfit.

After they all left, Ito took out her phone again and carefully examined the photos posted by Azusa.

It can't be wrong...

To verify his conjecture, he got up and also walked towards the stage area.

All the guests had to go on stage to introduce themselves first, and then go to the seats prepared for them by the convention organizers, and go on stage one by one in the order of their performances.

After the performance, there will be an autograph session and a photo opportunity.

As for him, he had nothing to do during this time. The reason he stayed here was to ensure their safety. The agent brought them over and then left.

The reason why Takigawa and Asada didn't promote it beforehand is probably because they wouldn't have many fans; at least that's what Ito thought.

Under the dome of the convention venue, crowds surged toward the stage area like a tide.

Holding his backstage pass, Ito was nearly knocked over by the crowd of a magical girl holding a glowing wand.

After apologizing to the other party, he finally managed to squeeze into the side passage, only to see two burly men dressed as girls walking side by side.

The electronic screen above the stage began to change its background. Ito stood on tiptoe and looked up to see the names of all the guests, except for Takikawa and Asada, whose names were still marked with question marks.

Light music started playing around them, and then the host, wearing platform heels, walked onto the stage, holding a card in her hand.

"Welcome to the 14th Fuchun Animation Carnival." After saying this, a round of applause broke out.

Then they would call out a guest's name, and that guest would appear on stage.

People around him were calling out the guest's name, and even though Ito didn't know him, he joined them.

"Next up is—Vtuber Azusa!" Before the host could finish speaking, pink smoke billowed from both sides of the stage, and screams of "Azusa, Azusa!" immediately erupted from the audience.

A girl wearing a long, dark sailor uniform walked onto the stage, with a black mask on, looking like a delinquent.

"Senior!"

A familiar voice, familiar movements, as Ito carefully observed Azusa.

"Miura, do you have a light stick?" Ito asked Miura, who appeared beside her.
