Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

Youtian Temple comforted:

"Don't be nervous. No matter what, you guys won't be worse than the first band."

"They wanted to imitate AveMujica and do operatic rock, but only a late-stage chuunibyou like Xiangzi could pull that off. Normal people don't have that kind of genius-level thought process, hahaha."

For some reason, halfway through her laughter, the masked band members all turned their gazes toward her.

[Emulator Tip]

Your skill, Killing Intent Perception, has been activated.

"Strange, where is this shark aura coming from?"

Lin Yuanshan scratched his head, ignoring all of this.

"Okay, it's getting late."

He turned to the vegetables.

"Momoka has prepared a performance outfit for you. The dressing room is in the back. Go and change."

He handed him a set of clothes.

It was a cake dress made of a patchwork of deathly Barbie pink and highly toxic fluorescent green.

Its design is a disaster, and its aesthetics are so devastating that they have surpassed the scope of human language.

Even the evil spirits in the lounge, who were used to all sorts of storms, fell into a long silence.

However, the instigator, Momoka, proudly puffed out her chest.

So what if a girl who has dropped out of school has a slightly bad sense of style?

This is the ultimate test for Rencai!

As long as I can perform in public wearing this outfit, I will be fearless no matter what stage accident I encounter in the future!

Chapter 111 Thank you all for risking your lives to listen until now!

"Thank you to the Mountain Dance Party and the Masked Demon Boltan for the wonderful performance!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the two temporary group chats backstage exploded with excitement.

Chat group for the mountain song and dance party.

Xiangzi: [Damn it! Why do we have to share the stage with those idiots wearing monster masks! That guy who can do backflips and beat the beat stole all the spotlight!]

Chu Hua: [Alright, Xiangzi, don't act like a child. Our main task is to scout out the enemy's situation.]

Mortis: [...that guy playing guitar with his teeth, it looks kind of familiar.]

Xingge: [Putting everything else aside, just in terms of stage presence, I think we are better than them.]

Almost simultaneously, in the group chat of the masked demon Boltan.

Liang: [Regarding stage performances, I think we've already won!]

Kita: [Ryou-senpai! You sent this to the wrong group! You sent it to the temporary performance group we just created today! Take it back right now!]

However, it was too late.

Xingge had just declared in the group chat that "we are better".

Liang then commented sharply in the large group chat containing all the performing bands: "We've already won!"

The entire group fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, the avatars of the Mountain Song and Dance Party all lit up.

……

On stage, Momoka was completely unaware of the undercurrents that were brewing backstage.

She was testing her voice into the microphone, preparing to give Nina her final pre-battle pep talk.

"Ah, a sound check, a sound check."

"The clothes that Nina would rather die than wear are the best."

"Don't overthink it, just focus on one thing."

"That is to express the purest feelings in your heart."

Momoka hadn't even finished her encouraging and emotional words when she finished speaking.

Rencai, who was hiding in the corner, hadn't come on stage yet.

Suddenly, a commotion arose below the stage, and two powerful auras surged into the sky, with the roar of guitars and basses subtly drowning out the background music.

The audience erupted in cheers!

Audience A: "Look! The guitarist from the Mountain Club and the bassist from Portan are starting an impromptu solo duel!"

Audience member B: "Wow! What terrifying instrumental skills!"

on the stage.

What are these guys even doing here?!

Tao Xiang's forehead vein throbbed, forcing herself to ignore the noise from below the stage, and she continued to encourage him:

"There's nothing to worry about, I promise."

"Rin is both cowardly and stubborn."

"Both timid and confident"

Offstage, the battle escalated once again!

Audience C: "My God! The keyboardist from Boltan and the lead singer from Shangshan Club have started arm wrestling!"

Audience member D: "The table! The table under their feet has cracked! What terrifying wrist strength!"

On stage:

Tao Xiang: Are you here to cause trouble?

Forget it, ignore them!

"In short, Rencai is a collection of self-contradictory complexes!"

Nina finally makes her appearance from the corner:

"I'm not happy at all!"

Peach fragrance:

"That's it, Nina feels frustrated because..."

Offstage, the atmosphere had completely collapsed.

Audience E:

"Look! They've started a lion dance battle! The Boltan and the Uesugi are actually having a lion dance duel!"

Audience member F: "Wow! The lion dance performers at the mountain festival have eyes that seem to sparkle! And the lion dance performers at Boltan can even breathe fire! That's amazing!!!"

on the stage.

Tao Xiang simply pretended not to see it.

Continued:

"What's coming next is definitely going to be very rock and roll!"

"Nobody knows you, nobody expects anything from you,"

"But that's how it is."

Off stage.

Audience member H: "Look! Poltan and Shangshan are having a bloodletting mahjong duel! The loser will have their blood drained!!!"

Audience Member I: "I get it now! Boltan's mahjong style is based on causality! The one we go to is Yu Musou!"

on the stage.

Peach fragrance:

This kind of outrageous thing can't just be ignored!

Enough already! You bunch of bastards! It's just a squabble between bands, did it have to escalate to this?!

Forget it, I can't bother with them!

Tao Xiang simply gave up thinking about it.

Rencai very obligingly rushed into the spotlight.

She was still wearing that red and green color-blocked cake dress.

Tao Xiang nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, Nina, you're rocking it out!"

Off stage.

Audience member J: "The real rock and roll is here! They'll be racing in the parking lot with Portan!"

Audience member K: "But I get it now, why are they wrapping their hands with duct tape around the steering wheel?! This is a duct tape race!!!"

On stage, the music begins!

The prelude to "Silent Fish" pierced the chaotic atmosphere.

Always waiting

Nothing has changed.

[The people around you]

None of them can be trusted.

Off stage.

Xingge and Hongxia stared at each other across the crowd, their eyes blazing with intense anger. They both shouted at the same time and charged at each other!

"Today, the winner between our two bands has been decided!"

"Let's fight to the death!"

on the stage.

Rencai's singing voice pierced through the noise.

Regardless of who is at fault

The pain will never disappear.

Off stage.

Offstage, Hatsuka and Kita were already locked in a fierce battle, their fists and feet clashing so fast that only afterimages could be seen!

"Ora ora ora ora ora ora!!!"

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!!!"

on the stage.

Praying

Say goodbye to the daily routine of just sitting around with your knees drawn up.

Off stage.

Mortis pulled out a handful of cucumbers from somewhere, while Pochi pulled out a handful of yellow talismans, and the two began some kind of mysterious ritual duel!

"Eek! The Storm Nebula is splitting open!!!"

"Drink! Swift Lightning Flash!!!"

on the stage.

Even if it's completely unreliable.

Shut your mouth and mind your own business.

Off stage.
