"Zhizi."

As Shiori Mifune walked down the long corridor carrying documents, she noticed a poster for a school idol concert on the wall and couldn't help but stop to look at it. Then, a voice from behind caught her attention.

Turning around, she saw Zhong Lanzhu standing behind her, a strangely excited smile on her face.

The young lady with long pink hair had completely changed from her previous gloomy mood. The fluffy pink pom-pom decoration on her shoulder bag bounced around, just like its owner's cheerful mood.

"Ranju." Shiori Mifune turned around, hesitating for a moment. "Is there something you need...?"

"Shiori seems quite interested in this joint concert." Zhong Lanzhu approached, and the distance between the two gradually shortened. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye became clearer in Mifune Shiori's eyes. "Will you go? I thought you would only care about that school idol named Momoyo Koyama."

Shiori Mifune blinked: "School idols are very important to this school. As a member of the student council, I will support activities that can benefit the school."

She easily defused Zhong Lanzhu's offensive.

"I see... So, will Shiori come to my concert?" Zhong Lanzhu didn't press further, but stared at Mifune Shiori's eyes with a hint of expectation, her blue eyes flashing with nervousness. "I have a concert tomorrow, Shiori, will you come?"

I asked twice; she seemed really nervous.

But she concealed her emotions quite well.

[Will Shiori go?] The person occupying the surface consciousness of this body asked in their mind with a smile, [Isn't Arashiko an important friend of Shiori's?]

[…Since Lanzhu has extended the invitation, I will go.]

Ah, actually, it wouldn't be a problem to be a little more proactive, would it...?

Nana Oba felt helpless about Shiori Mifune's overly passive personality.

The internal negotiation lasted only a brief moment, followed by a conversation.

The black-haired, red-eyed girl gave Zhong Lanzhu a dazzling smile: "Since it's Lanzhu's invitation, I will definitely be there."

Zhong Lanzhu was taken aback, and her face began to flush for some reason. She turned her head to the side, and lowered her voice as if trying to hide something: "Well, it would be great if you could come."

Mifune Shiori still had a smile on her face, looking at her reddened neck and ear tips with great interest.

"By the way, Shiori, if possible, could you please invite Aicheng for me?" Zhong Lanzhu hurriedly added.

Shiori Mifune exclaimed in surprise, "Aisho-senpai?"

"Even though I've been busy with school idol stuff, I know very well that Aijo is very famous at this school, right?" After changing the subject, Zhong Lanzhu finally recovered from Mifune Shiori's unexpected direct attack and raised her signature slightly smug smile.

“That’s true… but Aijo-senpai’s area of ​​expertise doesn’t really have anything to do with school idols, so why did you ask her, Ranju?” Mifune Shiori asked, her expression perfectly aptly puzzled.

Zhong Lanzhu went straight to the point, frankly saying, "I already know! Aicheng is actually a school idol too! Her height, build, and voice are exactly the same as Xiaoshan Momoyo's, but she just wears a wig and colored contact lenses to cover it up. It's unbelievable."

Thinking back now, there were also school idols like Yuki Setsuna in the club whose identities were also unclear. In contrast, there were unfamiliar faces like Aijo Karen who frequently appeared in the club. She must be the student council president of this school, Nakagawa Nana.

The hobby club is truly full of talented people...

Because Ai Cheng Hua Ren has been too busy lately, and the two haven't spoken in private, Zhong Lan Zhu couldn't find her, so she asked Mi Fune Shiori to come and see her performance.

"Although I really want to face off against Ai-chan, I want to save that day for the Idol Festival!" Zhong Lanzhu said, her eyes burning with determination. "Shiori, you have to come too! I won't lose to Ai-chan!"

Shiori Mifune's eyes widened slightly: "...Huh?"

Wait a moment……?

Arashi's conclusion was that they should use the school idol format to decide the winner.

The part belonging to Shiori Mifune exclaimed, "As expected of Arashi no Suzuki!" while the part belonging to Nana Ohba, after a moment of silence, was filled with an emotion called "excitement."

Looking at the wide smile on Qingmei's face, Zhong Lanzhu felt a chill run down her spine for some reason. The hairs on her arms stood on end, and she couldn't help but rub them.

"...Shioriko?" Zhong Lanzhu felt the strongest sense of unease emanating from Mifune Shiori, and even subconsciously took a step back to keep a certain distance from her.

“So that’s what Lan Zhu meant,” Mifune Shiori, no, Ohba Nana said cheerfully. “I’ll pass it on to Aijo-senpai.”

She tilted her head slightly, gazing at Zhong Lanzhu's somewhat bewildered face: "You will bring a wonderful performance that will satisfy the audience, right, Lanzhu?"

This feeling is wonderful.

At least to Zhong Lanzhu, although Mifune Shiori's face had not changed at all, it was as if a completely different person was looking at her.

Before Mifune Shiori, the setting sun stretched and distorted her shadow, enveloping Zhong Lanzhu within it.

So, after school, Zhong Lanzhu received an email from an unknown sender.

Ragnarok Online Prank Extra Chapter 38

When Zhong Lanzhu received the email from an unknown sender, she was at home doing her daily strength training on the gym equipment.

That's right, strength training.

For Zhong Lanzhu, being a school idol is definitely not as simple as just singing and dancing. In a country where the idol industry is highly competitive and even requires learning carpentry, becoming the best requires putting in much more effort.

Even though school idols don't have the same high standards as professional idols, Zhong Lanzhu sets the highest standards for herself.

Zhong Lanzhu has always set strict training plans for herself and strictly adhered to them.

Whether it's dancing, singing, or basic physical training, Zhong Lanzhu has never slacked off.

Although she was quite depressed for a while because of Shiori Mifune's situation, it actually made her increase her training volume.

I want to become stronger.

I want to stand at the highest point.

It doesn't matter if I don't have any fans, as long as Shiori is still watching me...!

When he realized this, the beads of sweat hanging on the tip of his nose trembled and fell down.

At the same time, the orange-red sunset outside the window reflected on her face and onto the beauty mark at the corner of her eye.

【——！】

Zhong Lanzhu's phone was ringing.

It was a melody she had never heard before, a completely unfamiliar one.

Ignoring the melody she had never heard on her phone before, the fact that her phone was ringing was enough to surprise Zhong Lanzhu.

To avoid delaying things, Zhong Lanzhu usually keeps her phone on silent. She also rarely receives messages from anyone other than her parents.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that due to her personality and other reasons, Zhong Lanzhu has very few friends.

The frequency used by a mobile phone's communication function is positively correlated with the number of friends.

After a brief moment of confusion, Zhong Lanzhu picked up her phone.

On the screen, a circular giraffe icon is slowly rotating, and below it, a frog-shaped pattern is hidden in the corner.

Zhong Lanzhu didn't notice, but stared at the information above with slight surprise, and unconsciously read it aloud: "Selection location... Nijigasaki Academy Club Activity Building?"

She picked up the towel beside her to wipe her sweat, and although she was confused, she gradually frowned.

What's going on here? A scam? Spam?

really weird.

Zhong Lanzhu hadn't originally intended to interfere, but after being disrupted by this, she lost interest in continuing the training.

After wiping away the sweat, she planned to take a shower and change out of her tank top and shorts.

Ten minutes later.

Zhong Lanzhu quickly took a shower, but ultimately couldn't resist her curiosity. After changing her clothes, she decided to go to the place indicated in the email.

Anyway, there would still be people at the school at this time. She remembered that Shiori Mifune, Karen Aijo, and some clubs were still having activities, and the school wouldn't be completely cleared out until it was completely dark.

Moreover, if you're not a student of this school, you can't just walk in.

It seems pretty safe, and maybe it's just a prank.

Even if it's a prank, going out won't do her any harm, and she can also take the opportunity to check out the venue for tomorrow's concert.

Yes, we just stopped by to check out the venue for the concert and see if there were any problems.

Zhong Lanzhu found an explanation for her curiosity, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly moved towards the club activity building.

What reassured her was that although she encountered few students along the way, there were still students carrying out normal activities on campus.

This made her even more certain that the email was a prank targeting her.

"Lanzhu wants to see who sent me this prank text message—"

Muttering to herself, Zhong Lanzhu pushed open the door to the school idol club room.

Then, what appeared before her was—

"...An elevator? There's an elevator here?"

The elevator door, which completely defied normal building structure and was something Zhong Lanzhu herself had never seen in the School Idol Club room, stood before her.

As soon as Zhong Lanzhu opened the door, she stared at the red indicator light on the elevator. After a moment of stunned silence, she knocked on the elevator door and began to wonder if this was some kind of new prank.

But if it were a real prank, setting up an elevator like that in the school idol club's room would be way too expensive...

Thinking this, Zhong Lanzhu wanted to observe the elevator's quality more closely. Unbeknownst to her, the distance between her and the elevator door had shrunk to a very unfavorable level.

As Zhong Lanzhu stepped inside, the indicator lights on the elevator lit up.

She only felt a jolt as the elevator started moving, and before she could even utter "No way?!", the completely illogical elevator began to plummet with her!

"Eee ...

I've never heard of an elevator like this in Lanzhu!
