Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

The auditorium was empty except for the Gao Yumo family members.

"As expected, there's no one here." Eriri remarked, looking at the empty auditorium.

"Is this really okay for us?" As the situation drew closer, Vinette began to feel pity again. She felt that this was a really harsh test for the little birds and the others, perhaps even too harsh!

Tsukuyomi Tsukasa and Sophie, who had only recently learned of the plan, nodded in agreement. Although they didn't know the girls, they still felt sorry for them; it was too tragic.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine!" Gao Yumo said firmly. "If miracles have colors, they must be the nine colors of the Muses!"

After he finished speaking, the girls looked at him with dead fish eyes.

"Brother, how could you say such cringeworthy lines?" Yuki couldn't help but complain.

"But I feel that this line is really inspiring in this context!" Xiaomai had a different opinion. Although she felt a little embarrassed at first, after thinking about it carefully, she thought it felt great.

“It’s really good.” Ayano nodded. “This is the trust that Takahata Sumi has in Kotori and the others.”

The girls nodded, and those who had never seen the three little birds before were even more excited about their performance.

Sophie had braved the sun to come see it; she didn't want to be disappointed. But she trusted Gao Yumo, and Gao Yumo trusted those girls so much that she felt she wouldn't be disappointed this time.

Gao Yumo and the girls took their seats in the very center of the auditorium, since there were no other people around.

Even without Tojo Nozomi, Kuriko is here. She can be responsible for stopping those who see so many of them coming in together and want to come in out of curiosity. In fact, she is doing just that right now, since it was Gao Yumo's arrangement.

He took out the video camera and turned it on, pointing it directly at the stage. This way, he could capture some of Gao Yumo's image without taking up the main screen area. The stage was recorded clearly, while the girls were all sitting behind the camera, so they wouldn't be recorded at all.

Of course, after opening the app, we first recorded the entire empty auditorium. At this point, we had the girls squat down, which was also a rehearsal for the plan to come later.

“No problem, you really can’t see anything, this chair will block it.” Gao Yumo observed for a moment, and after confirming that the plan was working, he fixed the video camera without pausing it. Anyway, it would be edited later, so he would just cut out the parts where the girls were exposed, and pretend that only he and Ayano came today.

Afterwards, Gao Yumo planned to post the video online so that netizens could see it, but that was after LoveLive was published and serialized.

The girls were a little nervous, looking around. They weren't entirely sure if the birds could hold on, and they were still worried about them.

"Do you think the others will come?" Ayano asked Takahata uncertainly.

“They definitely will,” Gao Yumo said firmly. “Think about it, if this were an idol comic, when would they arrive?”

“If it were a manga, they would definitely arrive at the most crucial moment, but are you already assuming they will definitely come?” Ayano said without hesitation. Having read countless manga, she certainly knew the tropes of idol manga, but this was reality.

"Shall we make a bet? Bet on whether they'll come or not?"

"What's the stake?" Ayano asked with great interest, and the girls were also drawn to her, looking over curiously.

"How about we make a bet, anything goes?" Gao Yumo said with a smile.

“No problem, I bet they’ll come.” Ayano nodded, making her decision immediately.

“Then I’ll bet on them to come,” Gao Yumo said.

"Then wouldn't that be the same as nothing happening?" Ayano pouted, but she knew that would definitely be the case.

The girls discussed it, but none of them said they wouldn't come. Those who were unsure were just following Gao Yumo's lead and betting, so in the end, the bet became meaningless.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people." A voice suddenly came from behind the girls, and they turned around to look.

"Oh, it's Eri-senpai! You're here so early!" Gao Yumo greeted her. Most of the girls had read the manga, so they recognized her immediately: Ayase Eri, the student council president.

“Of course, after all, I have a bet with Enoka.” Ayase Eli said coldly, walking to the side and leaning against the wall not far away. However, she was also very curious about who these girls were. She was sure that none of them were students from her school, but she did not ask directly.

"That's true. Speaking of bets, we just made one, betting on whether all nine people will show up. What do you think, Eri-senpai? Will they all be able to get together?" Gao Yumo asked Ayase Eri curiously, wanting to know her thoughts.

She's leaning against the wall now, and this position has a completely different meaning from sitting down. Sitting down means becoming an audience member, which is an affirmation of Hui Naiguo and the others. But the way she's leaning against the wall now means that she's still confirming, confirming whether Hui Naiguo and the others can really do it.

If Hui Naiguo and the others saw her leaning against the wall, they would understand what it meant. Just because she came to the scene doesn't mean she necessarily supports them.

"You can control whether or not it comes, can't you?" Ayase Eli said coldly. Kaguya was very familiar with her demeanor; it was a disguise, and she could see through it at a glance, just like her former self.

“Eri-senpai should know that I have no chance to get in touch with them.” Gao Yumo shook his head. He also wanted to see the rest of them, but he didn’t have the opportunity.

Eli Ayase thought about it and realized that it was indeed true; he really had no chance of contacting those people. Then she wondered where those people might be now and whether they would come.

Rin Hoshizora loves sports; she's probably visiting various sports clubs right now.

Although Nishikino Maki has had contact with Enoka and the others, her personality seems rather awkward, and it's hard to describe, but she probably won't come.

As for Nico Yazawa, she seems to have an unusual obsession and seriousness about school idols, so she probably won't come to watch a few half-baked school idol performances.

The final conclusion is obvious.

"I don't think he'll come."

"Are you sure? Do you want to hear our bet before you decide?" Gao Yumo asked with a smile.

"What's the stake?"

"One condition: anything is fine, but it can't be against your will. How about that? Is that okay?" Gao Yumo said with a smile, sensing that Ayase Eli probably wouldn't agree.

But after thinking about it, Eli Ayase nodded and surprisingly agreed.

“No problem. You said we can’t go against someone’s wishes, right? So we have the right to refuse no matter what the conditions are. So it’s fine to agree too. Besides, I don’t think I’ll lose,” Ayase Eli said.

"Then we'll wait and see!" Gao Yumo said confidently. The girls didn't really know why he was so confident, but they still believed in him.

Seeing his confidence, Eli Ayase couldn't help but ask, "Rin Hoshizora is an athletic girl, she shouldn't be interested in idols at all, why do you think she will come?"

"Senior, have you forgotten who Hoshizora Rin's best friend is?" Gao Yumo said with a smile. There was absolutely no suspense about Hoshizora Rin.

Eli Ayase paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on. She stubbornly replied, "Koizumi-san? There are still two people left. I'm not necessarily going to lose."

But she was actually starting to lose confidence, because Maki Nishikino and Enoka had already been in contact with each other, and it was uncertain whether Nico Yazawa, the last one, would come. She wanted to change her choice, but she was too proud to do so in front of so many people.

"That's why I say we'll wait and see. I still stand by my opinion that they will all be here!"

Chapter 226 The Performance is Underway! (1st Update)

As the opening ceremony was about to begin, Kotori, Enoka, and Umi were about to enter. The girls stopped talking to Takahata Sumi and Ayase Eli, as they had already gotten to know each other.

They only said that they had heard about the performance here, so they came with Gao Yumo. They didn't mention their relationship with Gao Yumo yet, otherwise Ayase Eli might not even be in the mood to watch Muse's performance later, just be surprised.

"It's about to start, get ready!" Gao Yumo turned to them and said, "Wait until I say you can get up before you get up. It's a pity you can't see the performance of the three of them, but I recorded it all, so please bear with it."

"We understand." The girls nodded and squatted down under the chairs, their bodies completely hidden by the chair backs in front of them, making them invisible.

Ayase Eli noticed their movements and was curious about what they were doing, but she didn't ask. After all, the performance was about to begin, and she looked towards the stage, feeling a bit of anticipation herself.

Gao Yumo also turned to look at the stage. The curtain slowly opened, and the three of them appeared wearing the same outfits as those in the comics drawn by Gao Yumo. However, they were probably made by themselves, so they were not as glamorous as they looked in the comics.

With their eyes closed and heads bowed, their faces full of smiles, it was clear that they were all filled with anticipation.

All I can say to Gao Yumo is sorry, but I hope they can get through this phase. After that, they will be on a broad and promising road ahead!

Opening their eyes, the empty auditorium shattered their illusions; reality was so cold and cruel.

The three of them remained silent, at a loss, completely unsure of what to do next. They simply stood there, unsure of what to do next.

"Sorry, we've done our best," said Hui Naiguo's three friends beside her; they had done everything they could.

The smiles had vanished from the three women's faces. They thought about the intense training and the tireless promotion they had put in, but in the end, no one came. They didn't know what else to do.

In their despair, they saw Takayu Mo and Ayano in the middle of the auditorium; they were their only hope!

But all they could see was Mo Jun's serious expression. They wondered what he was thinking. Maybe he was disappointed in them. The three of them thought to themselves, and they also saw the sketchbook in Mo Jun's hand. Was he just doing his job?

The three of them were even more desperate!

"Nothing is ever that easy," Enoka couldn't help but say, forcing a smile, but she was already losing control of her expression. Kotori and Umi, who heard her words, were also about to break down.

Their voices were very soft, but the auditorium was very quiet at the moment, and the sound still reached the ears of the girls who were squatting. Several of them couldn't help but want to stand up, but they were pulled back by the people around them. Now was the most important moment, and they had to hold back!

Ayase Eli watched their performance, shook her head, and prepared to leave in disappointment.

But she suddenly realized that the three people on stage had not completely lost their motivation and had stopped walking.

The three of them turned their attention to Ayano next to Gao Yumo. Ayano was smiling and waving at them, looking very expectant. Since Gao Yumo had said that she could freely express her excitement, Ayano was not pretending at all.

This gave the three desperate women a glimmer of hope! They weren't entirely without support!

Just then, a voice came from the door!

"The performance is about to start, or we'll miss it!" The three immediately recognized the voice as that of Koizumi Hanayo!

She came running in, panting heavily, her face covered in sweat. She had clearly been running very fast, and as she ran and talked, she became even more breathless.

"Slow down, if you're not good at sports, don't rush." ​​Next to her was Hoshizora Rin, who ran in after her. She had orange hair and yellow eyes, and a refreshing face. She was supporting Koizumi Hanayo, since she had been running too fast.

"Where's the concert? Why hasn't it started? Has it ended? Did I remember the time wrong?" Koizumi Hanayo looked up at the empty auditorium, completely bewildered. What was going on?

Rin Hoshizora also looked over. Was it over?

Their arrival was like a glimmer of light in the darkness; though faint, it illuminated the path for the three of them, bringing light and hope!

"Let's sing!" Hui Naiguo shouted, "Let's sing with all our might!"

Ayase Eli felt a little expectant. She knew she hadn't underestimated them. Had they really cheered her up? Let's see just how far they could go! Let's see if they can impress me!

"Because...that's what we've been working so hard for all this time!"

As expected of the Queen of Fruits, Kotori and Umi were both swayed by her and nodded firmly!

"Let's sing!"

Turning around, they needed to adjust their mindset and give the best performance to their few remaining audience members!

Gao Yumo turned around and waved to Koizumi Hanayo, gesturing for her to come and sit down, then whispered to the girls.

"You can get up, but don't talk. They've turned around. When they turn back, we'll give them a surprise!"

Koizumi Hanayo and Hoshizora Rin both walked over. They also saw Ayase Eli leaning to one side, bowed to her, and then continued towards Takahata Sumi. Then they saw the girls standing up in unison.

She was so startled she almost screamed, but her mouth was quickly covered by a hand.

Shh! We're going to surprise them!

The two women nodded, indicating that they understood what it meant.

After letting go, Gao Yumo quickly took things out of his bag. The girls were curious about what he was going to take out, and then they saw Gao Yumo take out a lot of light sticks and headbands. The headbands even had the Muse logo on them!

Then Gao Yumo distributed these to the girls; everyone received one, including Koizumi Hanayo and Hoshizora Rin.

Before they could even react, Gao Yumo had already tied the headband on her head, and even took off her coat, revealing a Muse support t-shirt underneath!

The girls stared at Gao Yumo in surprise. When did he prepare this? Gabriel was even more surprised. When did Mo change into these clothes? How come she didn't notice at all?

But none of that mattered anymore. They all tied their headbands on, picked up their light sticks, and looked expectantly in the direction of Enoka, Kotori, and Umi, looking forward to their performance!

Koizumi Hanayo and Hoshizora Rin also tied their headbands and looked towards the stage, just like the other girls!

Nothing else matters anymore!

Ayase Eli watched their actions, raising an eyebrow. Gao Yumo had done it on purpose just now. She understood what he meant. No wonder he acted that way. Speaking of which, why didn't she have those things?

The performance has officially begun!

As the music began to play, the three of them turned around, opened their eyes, and were ready!

The moment I opened my eyes...

Hui Naiguo: "?!"

Little bird: "?!"

Haiwei: "?!"

What did they see? They were dumbfounded! Not only had the number of people suddenly increased so much, but they also recognized most of them, and the scene was astounding!

They almost forgot their next move, but luckily they had practiced for a long time and had just adjusted their mindset to continue their performance.

But I was still deeply moved. I never expected Mo Jun to have made so many preparations for them! Light sticks and their Muse support headbands! Even clothes! And he brought so many people to see their performance!

They had already realized that Mo Jun's serious and businesslike demeanor just now was a facade, otherwise he wouldn't have changed so quickly. Was this Mo Jun's plan?

So what has Mo Jun done for them? How can they repay him? Of course, with a performance they give their all, right?

I say

“Hey Hey Hey STARTDASH”

“Hey Hey Hey STARTDASH”

"う毛の小鸟たちも(Even if it is a newborn baby bird)"

"いつか空に飞たく(One day I will be able to spread my wings)"

The three girls on stage began their song, and the girls raised their cheering sticks and waved them, listening to their singing with smiles.
