Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

I still shook my head, but I was losing my nerve.

"Miss Terra, are there any other options?"

I'm not some kind of "barbarian god," and I really can't agree with this practice of forcibly turning people into believers...

"You're still too emotional."

When I said that, Miss Terra sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"However, I do have other methods, which are strategies that girl has used before."

"If you had such a method, you should have said so earlier!"

"Don't get too excited yet, this method requires you to make some small sacrifices."

"Huh? What method?"

Miss Terra poked my cheek. Although it was an ocean of consciousness, the realistic illusion still made me feel her hard nails digging into my skin.

"Selling one's looks."

How can you so seriously come up with such a terrible idea?!

Using sex appeal to attract audiences who haven't even seen the concert yet?

"Not everyone is so shallow as to fall for this, and besides, I've already been forced to sell my body!"

In a new world full of magical girls, the tactic of selling eroticism has limited effect; even those "magical thighs" failed to attract everyone.

Moreover, the costumes Sirius provided were more revealing than most of the clothes I've worn in the past. Just singing, dancing, and rapping on stage like that already made me quite embarrassed, and I couldn't stand anything more than that!

Sigh, Miluno has a really thick skin and almost no sense of shame. She could walk down the street naked without any problem, right?

Of course, I would never let her do that.

"That's not enough, we need a gimmick! A gimmick to attract people to click in!"

As Miss Terra continued to stroke my cheek, I felt a little weak.

"With just one thought, you can experience the most authentic concert experience. Isn't that enough of a gimmick? Even people who aren't interested in concerts would be curious about this kind of experience, right?"

Miss Terra shook her head.

"No, that will be annoying. Our invitations are like pop-up ads; sending them to computers and phones is annoying enough, let alone a pop-up that's sent directly into our consciousness?"

"People have an instinctive aversion to such practices, no matter how eloquently they are presented. After all, in the common understanding, thoughts are the most private thing. If there are intruders in that, then where is truly safe?"

Thought is indeed the most mysterious concept in the world.

Even the gods cannot truly control it. Even the omnipotent creator, Michelle, cannot decide people's spontaneous emotions and thoughts. Adding a little hints and guidance is the limit.

I asked, "But if we don't use pop-ups, how will people find out about this? On the real world, Michelle will just secretly block it; it's impossible for it to spread..."

"This won't work, that won't work either."

Terra held her forehead, as if I were an unreasonable client.

"How about we let people spread the word?"

"what?"

“We will open up the seats in the audience. As long as we invite 5 people whose mind networks are not activated to watch this concert, they can use the front row seats that are close to the audience… Alternatively, the energy of the front row seats has already reached 99.5%, and we only need to invite 5 more people to qualify.”

"Wow? Where did you learn this rubbish of online marketing?!"

Using this method will still be met with resistance; it's no different from a direct pop-up window, and it's too time-consuming.

Miss Terra didn't have any good ideas, but Milno went on stage again, using lighting effects to heat up the atmosphere, and with her cool and neat dance moves, it was no surprise that her show was popular.

Let's re-examine the voter bases between the two...

The gap is too big.

Imagining Michelle's smug expression, I abandoned my imagined appearance and reverted to my original luminous form...

I collapsed to the ground, not wanting to do anything.

"I really don't need to compete with Miluno. She's more popular than me even without resorting to underhanded tactics."

After all, she is my proud lover.

"Don't give up so quickly! You are now the god representing Earth, how can you act so weak!"

"Please, even Earth is gone! I'm just a useless crystal demoted to a storage room, containing all the consciousness of life. What can I possibly do..."

Miss Terra took out a small twig and started fiddling with my flattened consciousness.

"You sound like you're about to turn into a moss that survives by photosynthesis."

Moss organisms that don't need to think?

Sounds pretty good...

"It's so nice, I wish I could become moss... I can photosynthesize without strong light... I can't win without light magic."

"Seriously, cheer up! Light magic is indeed very suitable for performances, after all, laser shows are Sirius's specialty! But we have magic here too! If one person can't do it, find someone else to cooperate... I'll go on stage for the next song, and you stay here and figure out how to promote it!"

"...Is there any way to beat Miluno in a performance?"

------

Miss Terra has taken over the data clone.

The teleportation channel opened, and A-Liu and Miss Shuiwei were taken backstage.

Then she brought the head maid over as well.

Miss Shuiwei's water magic, Miss Melissa's fire magic, and A-Liu's projection.

This combination is clearly aimed at creating special effects that surpass the Miluno light show...

"Afterwards, I will create bubbles that can envelop the stage. Ms. Shuiwei, can you fill the bubbles with water?"

They were discussing their plan within their thought network, and I could hear it.

"We need a water source; the flow rate from the tap isn't enough."

“No problem, I will open a teleportation channel above the lake in the city park.”

"Can Miss Melissa's magic burn in water?"

"My magic is flowing flame, which is essentially a flammable liquid that can burn without oxygen. Once it gets on you, it cannot be extinguished until it is completely burned off."

"Hmm, as expected of the fiery red wolf."

Terra's tone made Miss Melissa raise one eyebrow.

She seemed to realize that it wasn't me...

But they didn't expose it.

Chapter 456 Top-Tier Substitute Player

(Cerunno)

While they were plotting, Miluno, having finished another song, wiped her sweat and returned backstage.

"for you."

Sirius tossed her a bottle of water, which she caught perfectly.

"Poisoned?"

"Hey, I told you the organizers wouldn't tamper with this, right? Even if they wanted to get back at you, they wouldn't use such a stupid method as poisoning."

After receiving a disapproving look from Sirius, Miluno finally unscrewed the cap and guzzled a bottle of water. After all, she had chosen some challenging songs, and it seemed that her throat was indeed hoarse from singing.

After finishing, just throw the empty bottle away.

"Serno, it's your turn! How's your preparation going?"

She even tried to talk to "Cerunno," but Ms. Terra in her data clone was still discussing the details of the special effects with others. When asked about it, she showed an impatient expression.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about it."

"...You, you're not Seruno, are you?"

Although she was seen through, Miss Terra remained calm and composed.

"She's Seruno."

The way she tried to look cute using my appearance... well, it wasn't exactly cute.

Even with the same appearance, different personalities can create completely different impressions.

Before Miss Terra left, she gave me the task of promotion.

How to promote your product without being disliked, by sending invitations to everyone as Serino?

I don't know if I have enough face. If I'm disliked because of this, even if I manage to attract people to the concert, it might still affect my ticket sales.

"That Seruno is so annoying! I'm going to vote against her!"

You might encounter someone who thinks that way.

Or, should I invite her as Miluno?

No, that won't work either.

"Since it's Lady Miluno's invitation, let's go and vote for her."

It's possible that someone might have such a thought!

After all, Miluno is stronger than me and more popular...

Once pessimistic thoughts arise, one's mood will become depressed.

Just then, the data clone "Cerunno," played by Ms. Terra, entered the scene.

On the dimly lit stage, a single spotlight shone on her head.

"Before this song begins, are you hesitant in a beautiful dream, or are you breaking through the clouds to face the unknown future? To all of you who have come to watch the concert, I want to know your answer."

In response to her question, a thorny path formed in front of the T-shaped stage.

It was a projection of A-Liu, but the distorted and realistic spikes still made the audience in the front row lean back in unison.
