My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

"Everyone, please be in position and prepare to start the process. 10-second countdown."

While standing outside, Chaoyang heard the countdown through his earpiece and handed over the final tidying up to other employees.

"I'll leave this to you."

"6"

He spoke as he jogged towards the venue. Pushing open the staff entrance door, he was greeted by a flurry of activity backstage.

Every time Chaoyang heard Xiangzi's countdown, his heart skipped a beat.

"3"

Chaoyang stared intently at the stage.

"1"

In an instant, the stage burst into dazzling lights.

，?

Dr. Flower is coming?

The image of D-Season dressed in stage costume was projected onto the large screen.

She stood on the central platform, with lights focusing on her from all directions.

The fans in the audience were so shocked by the opening that they felt their scalp tingle.

A dazzling sea of ​​glow sticks, endless cheers, and dancers and singers performing on stage—Season D of the Flower Sea.

Chaoyang chose to stand at the closest point to the stage to watch the performance, which doubled the impact of the show.

The fervent atmosphere continued to rise.

The rise of love?

Premonition stops?

. .

"Yay!"

After finishing his two songs for Season D and saying his MC duties, he happily ran off.

He ran around and high-fived the audience in the front row, then returned to the stage, waving his hands back towards the audience as he gradually backed away until he left the stage.

"That's amazing!!! I declare myself a fan of Season D!!!"

"I declare your declaration valid!!!"

"You know, D-Ji is my idol. I know D-Ji, that guy is incredibly strong! As for XX..."

Before the next performance, the audience members began discussing D's performance.

"If it's this powerful from the start, won't it just take off later?"

"Not necessarily. What if they put their strongest fighters first?"

"But the Yuchisato sauce combo is the grand finale, right? It can't be too bad after that."

And the backend.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, how was my performance?"

"Impressive, huh... but isn't your laughter a bit too villainous...?"

Ai Yin started complaining.

Ugh... Damn, I'm so envious...

Hina smiled, clapped her hands, and stepped forward, turning back to look at Maruyama Aya as she spoke.

"Wow, that's amazing! Idols really need a lot of stamina. Jumping around for two shows without getting tired... Hmm, Xiao Cai, why don't you try going on stage by yourself?"

"Why????"

Maruyama Aya, who was originally clapping happily for the good start of Season D, immediately started making a troubled sound.

"Hina-chan, don't bully Aya at a time like this, she'll get nervous."

Chisato smiled and helped Maruyama Aya out of the predicament.

While everyone was still joking around, at the exit leading to the stage, Qin Yin was taking a deep breath behind the curtain backstage.

At this moment, Chaoyang also arrived backstage. Seeing D Ji surrounded by a crowd, he didn't go up to join in the fun.

"Yo... next up... it's your turn to showcase your new song."

"Producer... can I be like Season D?"

"No, because you two have different styles. There's no need to force a comparison. She has her strengths, and you have your weaknesses."

"Okay, I understand. I'll make the most of my weaknesses... Wait a minute!? Your statement doesn't mean I'm completely useless!"

"Haha, just kidding, but..."

Chaoyang turned around and, not yet noticing this, quickly leaned close to her ear.

"You're absolutely irreplaceable in terms of cuteness... And let me tell you a secret... I've already got your new song CD in production, and the streaming service will also be available after the show ends."

"Ohhhhhhh!!! Doesn't that mean..."

"That's right"

Chaoyang smiled and nodded.

"If you perform well and sell a lot, you'll get a good share of the profits!"

"Yay~~ Rich guy!!! I'm going to make everyone love my songs! Long live royalties! I enrolled in school just for this day!"

"Now you feel confident, right?"

Qin Yin, who had been jumping around excitedly, calmed down after hearing Chao Yang's words and scratched the back of her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Actually... I don't really know how I am right now. After all, I'm usually very easily discouraged, but I'm also quite narcissistic."

"So you knew... To be honest, I didn't expect you to sing that well..."

"unacceptable!"

"Because your natural piano playing is enough to win over fans. After all, at least for me, even if you went on stage and sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I would be willing to listen to it from beginning to end."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yin chuckled.

Qin Yin put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and revealed a confident smile. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at the rising sun, as if making a declaration.

"After all, I'm so cute, I can't help it~~ Yay! This time I'm going to go and shower my fans with gold coins, and give them a performance they'll never forget!"

After speaking, she straightened up, adjusted her stage costume, and her smile became more gentle and firm.

She slowly walked onto the stage.

The stage lights instantly focused on Qin Yin, and her stage costume shimmered softly under the lights.

Number one in the world?

Number one in the universe?

Please praise me even more!

The reward is... ...close your eyes and kiss!

As the last line of the lyrics faded, the piano playfully blew a kiss to the audience, a gesture that perfectly captured the hearts of the fans. The audience erupted in a frenzy of screams, and the sea of ​​glow sticks began to sway even more violently.

"So cute!!!!"

"The Angel of Harmony!!!"

"If you could kiss me, I would die happy!!!"

Standing backstage, Chaoyang witnessed all of this firsthand. Although he was used to his idols' outstanding performances, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved at this moment.

He covered his face, struggling with his inner conflict.

So cute... But this song is really awful... Yet so cute... Oh well, cuteness trumps everything!

Chapter 142 I'm here to see my idol!

"This concert was so straight!!!"

By this time, S Zeguang had finished his performance and was taking a break. The audience members started to rehydrate and chat.

"I came here specifically for Chisato-chan, but I didn't expect everyone to be so talented despite being newcomers! It was just that... Oh right, S-Sawa Hiroshi's idol performance art was a bit strange... Why did he just lie down on the ground at the end of the song? I was so scared, I thought something had happened."

"Yeah, I didn't expect idols to be so bold these days, adding comedic elements to their songs."

"What band is next? SIDEROS?"

The person speaking glanced at the program schedule.

"Is it another idol band?"

"Let me search... Ah, no, it's just rock music?"

"Huh? A rock band? Ugh... I don't really want to see this... I just wanted to see my idols jumping around... Rock music is boring."

After learning that the next act was a rock band, a group of people were holding bottled water and complaining quietly.

"And wouldn't it be strange if a rock band suddenly appeared at this kind of concert?"

Some people frowned, with a hint of doubt.

What if the atmosphere doesn't match?

. .

Backstage.

"...I'm so happy..."

"I would be happier if you weren't lying on the ground, really, because you had an accident and had to take a break."

Chaoyang had the foresight to have a folding bed backstage, which was perfect for letting S Zeguang lie on. After taking her offstage, Chaoyang fanned her and fed her water, treating her like an ancestor, until she finally regained consciousness.

"Hehehe... So, what was the result?"

"Great, the audience thought you were just putting on a show at the end, at least you finished singing, and with a little more effort you could make it to the end."

Is this a compliment?

Chaoyang nodded helplessly.

"Of course, you've at least fulfilled the minimum requirement of maintaining the audience's enthusiasm as an idol. Now, get some rest."

"Hehe, this is the first time I've been praised like this by a producer."

"I was also surprised; I didn't expect you to perform so well. It proves that you also have the talent of an idol... Okay, stop talking, close your eyes and get some rest. You still have to go on stage to thank and say goodbye to the audience at the end."

"Ah."

S Zeguang finally recovered somewhat from his physical exhaustion and obediently closed his eyes, listening to Chaoyang's advice to rest.

Just as Chaoyang covered her with the blanket, Xiangzi's calm voice came through her earpiece.

"Chaoyang, the audience outside has mixed feelings. I heard the next act is a rock band, and many people aren't expecting much, some are even disappointed. Go talk to the SIDEROS people and let them know."

Chaoyang was taken aback, sighed softly, and couldn't help but look towards the dressing room on the other side.

It should be fine. After all, Yuyuko and the others are very cute; I don't think they're any less attractive than idols. Besides, I've made preparations to boost Yuyuko's morale... But... why hasn't that guy arrived yet?

Chaoyang checked the time on his phone, and just then a message came in.

Chaoyang smiled slightly after seeing this.

"Qinyin, please keep an eye on things for me. I'm going downstairs to pick someone up."

"Hey? You still have time to go downstairs at this hour? Wait, hey..."

Qin Yin, who was resting backstage, was caught off guard by Chao Yang's words and before she could react, Chao Yang tossed her fan to her and walked away.

Qin Yin took the round fan that Chao Yang had tossed to her and stared blankly for a while.

"Manager...that idiot..."

Qin Yin glanced at S Ze Guang again and sighed helplessly.

Then he fanned S Zeguang, who was lying on the folding bed.
