Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

Chuchu, angry.

"Chuchu-sama?!" Pareo was shocked after hearing Chuchu's "outrageous remarks". Pareo knew that Chuchu had failed to invite Konoe Saki, but she had never understood the concept of "love at first sight"!

How big is a chuchu? Is this reasonable?

Pareo's expression changed immediately: "Saki-sama! What should I do?!"

Pareo wants to say: What do you mean by "love at first sight"? Don't you know that premature love is bad for your physical and mental health?

But she couldn't do it. Chuchu was the mentor who promoted her from an obscure position and the special person she was sincerely grateful to. How could she possibly speak to Chuchu in a preaching tone?

Pareo consoled himself: "Maybe it was a slip of the tongue. After all, Chuchu-sama is a returned overseas Chinese. He doesn't understand the local culture, so he accidentally misused the term. That's perfectly normal."

Also in RAS's lounge, watching the live performance on TV, Masking was beating the air drum vigorously, almost joining in the harmony of the four girls on the stage.

She felt her toes clenching tightly, as if every pore in her body was immersed in the music and relaxed in pleasure. She loved this band so much.

Although part of the reason was that her favorite drummer Maya Yamato was in this band, unlike Paspale's relaxed and cute style, Fantasy's stage style was more passionate and powerful, which was her favorite type.

Masking even came up with the idea that "compared to Paspale, Fantasy is obviously more suitable for Miss Maya", and she wanted to give suggestions to Yamato Maya as a loyal fan.

Of course, this is just an impulsive thought that comes out of excitement. As a loyal fan, Masking will of course fully support all the ideas of Yamato Maya herself; until Yamato Maya herself expresses similar ideas, she will not do anything.

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to her favorite idol!

After listening to "Exterminate" first, and then "Unlimited Beat" and "Tsetament", the audience went into a frenzy. They waved their cheering sticks vigorously and shouted the name of the band Fantasy at the top of their lungs, as if they had forgotten that they were loyal fans of RAS.

The RAS was very powerful, the stage lights were very flashy, the short DJ was very wild... All of the above brought them an extraordinary audio-visual feast, and also made them gradually develop the idea of ​​worshipping the strong and shouting at the top of their lungs for the powerful bands.

For ras, no, it should be said that for chuchu, this kind of fans are extremely compatible with her. The cheers and support from these fans can bring the stage effect she pursues to the extreme, making people think "this is rock/this is too rock".

But there's a problem: RAS's rise to prominence is too recent, and its foundation isn't strong enough. Since fans are worshipping the strongest, what if a band with stronger power but less dazzling stage lighting comes along and disrupts the show? Will the fans gather and turn against RAS?

This was what Chuchu was most worried about at the beginning. Due to the lack of a strong guitarist, she could only focus on the lighting effects to make the audience better immersed in RAS's music.

But now...

Asahi Rikka's performance is better than Hanazono Tae's guitar sound source, and a performance full of determination is better than the recording effect. This is a truth that Chuchu will never deny, otherwise she would have used software to synthesize music long ago, so why would she take the time and effort to form a band?

As for the lead singer? Needless to say, even if Chuchu was just sitting in the lounge, without being there to experience Saki's singing and Fantasy's stage style, she could easily come to the conclusion: Lost.

Saki's vocals are too powerful, and coupled with Fantasy's ensemble being superior to Ras's, the result speaks for itself.

“…” Chuchu clenched her fists and blushed so much that she couldn’t speak.

She declared war on others without thinking, but Yushina Minato completely ignored her; Konoe Saki came with the intention of playing with a child, and she was not convinced, but when the other party took it a little seriously, RAS was defeated.

Will he continue to take the stage? Will he accept the humiliating "execution"?

Seeing Chuchu lowering her head and not saying anything, her face flushed red, Pareo looked at Chuchu with a worried look on his face and stretched out his hand cautiously: "Master Chuchu, you..."

Without waiting for Pareo to speak, Chuchu waved his hand vigorously and issued an ultimatum: "Everyone, listen to me, all entertainment and social activities are prohibited from now on, starting from tomorrow, no! Starting from tonight,

No! From now on, everyone, come to the apartment. I will use stricter standards to train you until you win!

Chuchu's eyes were red, and she was a little bit out of control. Was she going to lose the game without any chance of fighting back? This made her feel worse than if she had been killed.

Witnessing the voting session? That's clearly a punishment! Better get back to practice immediately.

"Huh?" Playing the air drums could no longer satisfy Masking. She really wanted to practice it a few times, but considering that the next step was the voting session, she had to suppress the urge; because, how could playing the drums be as important as going on stage to meet her favorite idol?

But now, a certain little guy actually asked them to go back for special training immediately? What was wrong with him?

Yes, winning or losing is important, and she is unwilling to accept losing the duel; but losing is losing, if she can't even accept this kind of result, why form a band?

"Chuchu/Chuchu-sama..." Layer and Pareo looked at Chuchu worriedly. They felt that the terrible scene they least wanted to see might be happening.

But before the two could try to persuade her, Chuchu exploded on the spot: "Stop making so much noise! ​​Did I let you guys talk?! This is my band, everyone has to listen to me! I said go back to special training, now! Immediately! Right now!!!"

Chuchu's face turned red and her neck became thick as she spoke, and she started to breathe heavily because she exerted too much force.

As luck would have it, the TV was filled with the audience shouting, "Fantasy! Fantasy!" It was impossible to tell if anyone was actually supporting RAS. Of course, there were definitely some who supported RAS, but the problem was...

Most people put away the cheering signs they had prepared specifically for RAS. They waved cheering sticks and shouted fantasy. The situation was already one-sided.

Chapter 125 126. Breathing!

Backstage at dub, in ras's lounge.

Chuchu resorted to roaring loudly, but it had the opposite effect.

Masking saw this as a case of the young lady being unable to accept defeat and throwing a tantrum. She was known for her straightforward nature and lacked the ability to adapt musically, so she naturally wouldn't tolerate such behavior.

Seeing Masking's stern face, Layer quickly grabbed her arm: "Chuchu, I think you need to calm down a bit, you..."

Pareo nodded repeatedly, ready to echo what Layer said and persuade Chuchu with soft words, so as to clear up the awkward situation that was gradually becoming tense.

The problem was, Chuchu didn't think she was in the wrong, and wasn't prepared to listen to any advice or suggestions: "Shut up! You guys lost because you were too distracted and didn't focus on the music! My band can only have one voice, so just listen to me!"

Seeing such disrespectful Chuchu, Masking's face turned ugly. Her expression was already a bit fierce, and now it looked even more frightening. If you didn't know, you would think RAS was going to have a breakroom fight.

But Masking wasn't the type to get violent. She just said unhappily, "Then find someone who will just listen to you."

Before being recruited into the team by Chuchu, Masking was nicknamed "Mad Dog" because she hated being restrained.

If Chuchu hadn't said she'd let her fully express her talents and musicality, she wouldn't have joined RAS. Now she's changing her tune and demanding she obey Chuchu completely? Are you kidding me?

Masking crossed her arms and repeated the agreement between Chuchu and her, then emphasized: "I'm putting my words here. If that's what you want, then go find someone who will obey you. That's it."

Masking was a little angry. The joy of competing with his idol on the same stage was greatly diluted by Chuchu's inexplicable anger.

She had guessed the outcome of the duel and felt unwilling to accept it. She also wanted to improve her skills, continue to optimize everyone's ensemble level, and find a guitarist suitable for RAS. But she was very unhappy about what Chuchu said, and even had the urge to "let this RAS go".

If it weren't for the pleasant ensemble before, Masking and Chuchu would have broken up right then and there. Although the current situation is not much different from a breakup.

Masking left the lounge angrily. She wanted to go on stage to vote and witness the result of the duel with her own eyes. In her opinion, if they couldn't even accept a small failure, then the band would not be able to continue.

Is it really possible for someone to start out winning and win all the way to the end? Impossible, right?

"Masking," Layer called out. Seeing that the girl didn't turn around, she sighed helplessly, "Chuchu, please calm down for a moment. I think it would be better if we all sit down and talk. I hope you can think about it carefully. I'll go get Masking back."

Seeing that layer did not support her and ran out to chase the "rebel", Chuchu became furious. She picked up the pillow on the sofa and slammed it hard on the sofa. Maybe it was because she used too much force, but she lost her balance and was about to fall on the pillow.

Pareo stepped in to save Chuchu, hugging her from behind to prevent her from falling. She also held Chuchu up nervously, looking here and there, fearing that the girl would get hurt.

However, Pareo's concern was not thanked or appreciated by Chuchu, but was instead pushed away by Chuchu.

Seeing that the girl was not injured, Pareo breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his loyalty: "Master Chuchu, it's okay. Miss Layer will get Miss Masking back. And, I will always be by your side, Master Chuchu."

As she spoke, Pareo wanted to give Chuchu a hug. She felt that this would better soothe her emotions and help the girl calm down.

But now Chuchu is just a little girl in the second grade of junior high school, at the age of rebellion and self-centeredness, not to mention that she is angry.

Chuchu roared loudly: "It's so annoying. What's the use of having only you!" She slapped Pareo's hand away and ran out angrily.

The girl didn't notice at all that Pareo's pupils suddenly shrank and then slowly widened.

The door of the lounge was slammed shut, and Pareo was the only one left in the room.

Today's Pareo wore a pink wig. She originally wanted to show the energy and liveliness of Maruyama Aya from Paspale to liven up the team atmosphere. At the same time, she also liked Maruyama Aya's tenacity and wanted to learn from her.

But at this point, she found that imitation was meaningless; no matter how hard she tried, she was still the little transparent person who was ignored by everyone.

Pareo half-knelt on the ground and found that her hands were shaking, but her attention was no longer here. The girl murmured, "Am I... not needed?"

At the same time, the voting results were displayed on the big screen: 801 to 443.

The audience discussed it a lot, and seemed surprised by the result. Some even said, "Dub should be considered RAS's home turf, why?

Why is the gap so big?"

However, most people were gentle. After shouting "Fantasy", they also shouted "RAS" to encourage the girls. Moreover, there were only two RAS members standing on the stage, and some people began to worry about them.

However, RAS was too arrogant before the game and suffered a crushing defeat afterwards, so it is natural that RAS will suffer the backlash of the hype. Some people have already commented online that "RAS is a fake strong team."

Public opinion began to ferment.

After getting off the stage, Yamato Maya was a little worried about RAS's condition, so she took the initiative to talk to Masking. The two were already fans of each other, and with Yamato Maya's initiative, Masking naturally didn't hide anything and told him what happened in the lounge very readily.

But she was a little embarrassed to talk about the group's collapse in front of her idol. Isn't this a public execution?

Masking rubbed the back of his head. "I was impulsive at the time, and my words weren't very nice. But even if it happens again, no, a few times, it's still the same. That's not how a band should be."

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener may have taken it seriously. The masked Shoko Toyokawa suddenly thought: [Speaking of talking to myself... Was I also a bit... back then?]

She thought of crychic, the brief time they spent together as a team, and that dark rainy night.

Then, although she hadn't formally mentioned it to Saki yet, she did have the idea of ​​leaving Crychic behind and asking Saki to help deal with the remaining issues of Crychic, which had actually disbanded, because she didn't know how to face her old teammates.

Now, after hearing about the sharp conflicts in RAS due to the founder's self-talk, Toyokawa Shoko felt that she should reflect on it.

Chapter 126 127.ptsd

After hearing about the conflict within RAS, Maya Yamato was very worried. She didn't want this band that allowed Masking to show its true strength to disband inexplicably, but she also felt that Chuchu's words and deeds within the team were problematic.

The girl was caught in an awkward dilemma:

On the one hand, she felt it was a pity that RAS had broken up, and wanted to help the girls reconcile and watch them continue to shine on the stage; on the other hand, she felt that RAS had encountered the terrible situation of being disqualified as a producer. If a certain female producer did not change her operating philosophy... it would be better for the band not to form at all. It would be better to disband directly than to have a second explosion after reconciliation, right?

Seeing that Yamato Maya was hesitant to speak, Saki took the initiative to say, "Speaking of which, I still have responsibilities here. Everyone wait for me for a moment. I'll go to the RAS lounge to check it out."

If her trash talk brought Chuchu down, Saki would feel bad, though she would never reflect on it.

Why did Saki repeatedly reject Chuchu's offers? On the one hand, it was because she had no intention of riding the wave of the big girl band era, and on the other hand, she genuinely disapproved of Chuchu's personality and approach.

A self-centered producer cannot lead a good team. Even if he really builds a galactic battleship, he will only drive it into the gutter.

"I'm sorry, but is this really okay?" Hachiman Kailing spoke up, a rare occurrence. Looking at Saki's enthusiastic and proactive attitude, she recalled an unpleasant past. "This is RAS's internal affairs. We're all outsiders, so it's obviously not a good idea to rashly interfere."

"What if I'm mistakenly thought to be showing off? According to Ms. Masking, Ms. Chuchu is furious right now. I'm afraid she won't listen to anyone's advice, especially since this kindness comes from her opponent."

Hachiman Kailing’s idea is: the timing is not right now, why not change the time.

She didn't think Chuchu would accept Saki's comfort.

Hachiman Kailing encountered a similar situation:

She herself was once a dictatorial person like Chuchu. She formed a band with several classmates, but whether it was choosing members, arranging practice times, or deciding the band's future, she didn't give her teammates enough choices. She just encouraged them to work hard together and strive to reach the pinnacle of music.

She did not listen to her teammates' suggestions, but only painted a rosy picture for them (it's fun to hold a live, it's fun to be popular), and maintained high-pressure training; finally, she led the team to get the opportunity to move forward: scouts would come to watch their live and discuss debut matters.

She happily informed her bandmates, unaware that the band was on the verge of collapse.

A teammate told her: We are not ready yet...

She immediately replied: Life is not like assembling a model. You need to follow the instructions step by step. No one is born prepared. Just seize the opportunities in front of you.

Someone said, "The adults must think that further studies are more important than forming a band. And you didn't really say you wanted to debut professionally, did you? Didn't you say you wanted to do more live shows? I've never heard of any talent scouts or anything like that."

Her answer was: I can accomplish all of this by making a professional debut, no matter if it’s organizing a live show, gaining popularity, or convincing adults, as long as we get on stage and win the recognition of the scouts, that’s all!

At that time, she felt that her passionate and powerful words had convinced everyone, but the fact was: her teammates found it impossible to communicate with her.

The long period of ineffective communication made the girls feel physically and mentally exhausted. What's more, the news of the scout's arrival came so suddenly, which made the girls feel that they were not respected by Hachiman Kailing. They felt that this person treated them as puppets.

So, on the day of the performance, not a single teammate showed up: everyone boycotted the performance, except for the bassist.

That day, she desperately sent messages and made phone calls, but no one replied. Her teammates' actions silently told her: Since reason won't make sense, and you keep insisting on your own way, then you should go and explain to the scouts why your teammates can't come. We're not here, so whatever you say is up to you.

Looking at the empty lounge, Xiao Hailing felt completely hopeless. She sat powerlessly on the sofa, her tears lighting up the screen of her unanswered cell phone.

No, it's not that no one answered.

Just when Xiao Hailing was at a loss, the band's drummer, perhaps feeling sorry for her, took the initiative to reply to Xiao Hailing's message: "Hailing, give up. The band is over. No one likes being told what to do. When you start a band again, Hailing must remember this and not make the same mistake again."

This was the only one of her teammates who responded to her. At this moment, Xiao Hailing was like a drowning person grabbing a floating straw. She begged the drummer to come back, even if there were only two of them, she could find a way to complete the performance.

However, a bright red exclamation mark appeared after the message was sent.

The drummer classmate only left a blessing message "I hope you can achieve your dream" and deleted her Line friend.

There is no time left. The livehouse environment is already noisy, and Xiao Hailing is playing the bass. What can she do to get through this?

If she hadn't happened to meet Saki and Saki's father who had just finished their performance, she would probably have had no choice but to run away, or even suffer from lifelong psychological trauma?

The first time he formed a band, he caused the band to fall apart because of his own egocentrism, and his dream fell before an important test. Most children can't accept such a blow.

Therefore, Hachiman Kailing is particularly grateful to Saki and her father. What is happening now is Chuchu's own fault, just like she was at that time. She naturally supports Saki's help/redemption to others, but the premise is that Saki will not be hurt in the process.

Since that chuchu did not recognize her mistake and even verbally attacked her teammates, she had to assume malice towards chuchu's current mental state.

Hachiman Kailing didn't want Saki, who went there with good intentions, to be hurt by Chuchu's malicious intent.

Therefore, even if Saki might misunderstand her, Hachiman Kailing would not support Saki's behavior.

"Indeed, judging from what Ms. Masking said, Ms. Chuchu is the type with a strong sense of pride. Going over now would only add fuel to the fire. Sa... ahem, lead singer Mask, I think it's better to wait for another time."

"Besides, maybe Ms. Masking and Ms. Layer can resolve this crisis on their own?"
