Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

"If you can have scandals with a group of people at the same time and still get along well with them, then you're really impressive."

Listening to the chattering around her, Sakuragawa Nana crossed her arms and crumpled the fabric on her arms into a ball: "What nonsense are those people talking about?"

Tian Yinxiang crossed his arms and looked at the girls on the stage who were slightly out of breath and adjusting their posture: "They're no worse than us."

"I heard it! They are definitely more coordinated than during rehearsals." Sakuragawa Nana reluctantly admitted, "They're still a little behind us, aren't they?"

"Whether it's good or not is up to the audience to decide. What's the point of us arguing here?" Tianyin laughed nonchalantly twice. "Speaking of which, you seemed quite happy to see them on stage?"

Sakura Nana snorted coldly: "I'm not happy. I just think they didn't desert their posts, which shows they have some courage. That's all."

The applause and chatter gradually subsided, and the stage lights seemed to dim a little.

Flowing notes slid out from the violin, and the pink-haired girl's slender fingers tapped out the main melody on the keyboard. The accompanying guitar slowly joined in, followed by the gentle tapping of the timpani. Two basses, belonging to different sections, added the finishing touch, completing the last missing piece of the puzzle.

The blonde girl picked up the microphone and began to sing softly.

The song gradually improves, becoming increasingly gentle.

"I made a wish again and again over that fleeting shooting star."

The girls' harmonies were perfectly timed, giving this well-known graduation song a youthful feel that differed from the original.

May this little bit of happiness reach into the future.

All the music fell like a fountain, and in the silence, the girl softly hummed the last line of the song.

"The memory that was once frozen will last forever."

Sparse applause began to rise, then grew more intense and enthusiastic, erupting into the loudest wave of applause of the night.

As Helica said, music can convey emotions.

Even if the distance between hearts is vast, they can still be connected through music.

At that moment, the girl, Helica, became the sole focus of attention in the entire venue.

Even though her temper and extremism are part of Helica, people have come to recognize another side of her.

So quiet, so delicate, so light, and so dazzling.

Chapter 105 The Happiest Girl in the World

As the applause from the audience gradually subsided, the stage lights slowly came on, illuminating once again the faces of the girls standing on stage, holding their instruments and glistening with sweat.

"Thank you everyone!" Helica hugged her guitar tightly and bowed deeply to the audience below the stage: "We are the Rainbow Victory Road!"

"oh!!!"

Another cheer erupted from the audience.

"First, let me introduce the band members! Our drummer is Lin Jiezi from Class C, Grade 3!"

Lin Jiezi, who had never been exposed to anything related to bands except for rehearsals and watching girl band performances, was the first to be called on. On stage, she immediately froze, as if she had lost her powers, and even forgot to say her usual nervous quirks.

"Lin, Lin, all you need to do now is casually tap the drum a few times." Yuki Yui covered the microphone in front of her and whispered to Lin Jiezi what to do at this moment.

"What, what should I knock on?" Lin Jiezi's mind had stopped working at this point.

"Beat the drums," Yuuki Yukino hurriedly said.

What are you playing the drum for?

"The one in front of you."

What drumbeat?

"Just strike the snare drum three times and then the cymbals once."

Lin Jiezi was just extremely socially awkward, but she wasn't completely stupid. After receiving help from Yuki Yuki, she immediately began rhythmically playing the drum kit in front of her, as instructed by Yuki Yuki.

The audience initially thought Helica was just giving a routine introduction and were wondering why she hadn't continued introducing the other members when the sudden drumbeat startled many of them.

"Ah... hahaha..." Helica laughed awkwardly twice: "Lin-kun might be a little shy. Well then! Next up is our bassist! Mizuno Yu from Class 3-B!"

With Yuki Yuki's physique and Hayashi Mustard's demonstration, Mizuno Yu easily completed the band's unique self-introduction with her own string music, drawing cheers from the audience.

"Mizuno-senpai is so cool!"

"Ice Queen!"

After the cheers subsided, Helica turned to the girl on the other side of the stage who was also holding a bass: "And our other bassist! Sakura Hanako from Class 1-B!"

Sakura Hanako visibly shivered when her name was called, but then she gripped the pick tightly, strummed the strings softly a few times, and then raised her hand to greet the audience.

"I am Sakura Hanako, please... take good care of me!"

"Oh! Sakura! Sakura! Sakura!"

"Great job! We knew you were the best!"

"Next up! It's our keyboardist! Yuuki Yuuki from Class 3-A!"

After a smooth glissando, Yuuki Yukina made a peace sign towards the audience.

"Xiao Yuan! LOVE! Xiao Yuan! LOVE!"

"I told you, Nishio, calm down!"

"And our unique violinist! Also from Class 3-A, Shiro... Inuyama Tomoe!"

The violin produced a series of melodious notes, and then Inuyama Tomoe, dressed in her uniform, smiled, tucked the violin under her arm, placed the hand holding the bow on her chest, and gave a knightly salute to the audience.

"Big sister, you are indeed very outstanding."

"That's right. If my older sister hadn't transferred schools, I wouldn't have had to take on the job of student council president."

"We are the rainbow-colored road to victory! There's one last song coming up!" Helica shouted to the enthusiastic audience, raising her pick high.

"Tianlei, is there someone else we haven't introduced yet?" Mizuno Yu reminded him, not bothering to hide the fact that her microphone was still fully on.

"Ah ha ha……"

Helica laughed awkwardly again.

She didn't actually forget to introduce herself; she just wanted to take this opportunity to quickly introduce everyone and then omit herself from the introductions.

Helica wasn't stupid; almost all the girls who could support her were already on stage, so even if she did introduce them, she probably wouldn't receive such a strong response.

I am notorious at Yuehai Middle School. It's okay if there are no cheers, but if the audience feels resistant when they hear my name, it will ruin the atmosphere.

After all, the whispers of the girls could be heard on stage before they went on.

Herlica herself knew very well that this idea was naive, but she just didn't want the stage she cherished to suddenly become cold because of her name.

Having finally gotten the chance to go on stage, and having already had such a wonderful dream, she absolutely did not want to ruin it because of her.

It's pretty silly to have such a contradictory thought: you're the one performing, but you're worried about something going wrong with yourself.

But that's what Helica thought; she just couldn't get over it in her mind.

"I'm the lead singer of the band! I'm also the only guitarist in the band, and what's more, I'm also the band leader! I don't need an introduction, right?"

Helica explained her job title by asking rhetorical questions, which could be considered a self-introduction, right?

That way I can distract myself and get away with it. Aren't I pretty clever?

As Helica was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that Yuuki Yuuki's gaze was fixed on her.

That was an encouraging look, a gaze that urged her to go further; Yuuki Yukino's emotions were fully expressed in her eyes.

And her own plans and thoughts seemed to have nowhere to hide in Yuuki Yuki's eyes.

"I……"

Herlica bit her lip, still clinging to her unwanted stubbornness.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I'm stubborn?

"call."

Yuuki Yui let out a long breath and looked away from her.

That wasn't a look of compromise; it was an expression of someone forcibly pushing themselves into the spotlight.

Yuuki Enishi looked at the audience and raised her hands, with the axe-like keyboard hanging on her shoulders.

"Everyone, did you enjoy the performance just now?"

The audience below the stage chanted in unison, drawing out the words: "Happy—"

"So, would anyone like to get to know our lead singer—"

"have--"

The audience below the stage started to cheer, and Nishio Reki, who was standing in the middle of the audience, Serizawa Riko, who was near the stage, and the student council president who had been observing the program all raised their voices to add fuel to the fire.

"Look, everyone is very curious about you. Our captain is always telling us how to meet the audience's expectations, so shouldn't you set an example?"

Herika was somewhat unhappy with Yuuki Yuuki's meddlesome behavior, but not to the point of being angry or disgusted, since she knew that Yuuki Yuuki was doing it for her own good.

Besides, she likes to meddle in other people's business, which is just Yuuki Yukino's personality.

Helica bit her lip hard. She realized that if she didn't do what Yuuki Yuki said, she would be the one to ruin the performance.

What Yuuki Yukino used was undoubtedly a calculated, open strategy.

"Hello everyone, I'm the lead singer of Rainbow, Rainbow Dazzling Victory Road..."

"Speak louder! I can't hear you! You think you can be the lead singer if you're this quiet!" Baqi whispered to the microphone from behind.

Ba Qi's words were met with immediate and enthusiastic response, and the audience below the stage urged her on.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Stop keeping me in suspense!"

Tell us your name loudly!

The audience meant no harm; most were unaware that this was part of the MC segment on stage and joined in the commotion.

do not care!

It's only embarrassing for a moment!

"I am! The lead singer and leader of the Crimson Road to Victory! I am also the president of the Rainbow Club, the charity organization that makes up this band! I am Helica from Class C, Grade 3! Please take good care of me!"

Immediately afterwards, Helica could not hear anything anymore.
