What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

The guitarist was resting his chin on his hand, looking utterly dejected.

The songs on the album have all been tuned, so it's impossible to determine the true strength of the Thornless Band. But they're right here, so there's no way to deceive ourselves.

"Isn't that right? Look at those audience members below... We've already become background figures (NPCs) being trampled under their feet."

The drummer next to him pointed to the live stream on his phone screen, where the enthusiasm of the audience was no less than that of the previous closing band.

Guitarist: ...

"No rush, there's another band and singer coming up as the finale, and not all of them will necessarily have that kind of talent."

The bassist next to him offered words of comfort.

But his words left everyone else speechless.

Will the characters placed at the end or the grand finale be simple characters?!

…………

After about fifteen minutes, and three songs in total, Jing Qinren looked at the cheering fans below the stage, especially Chen Xiao, who was sitting in the very center, his excitement was palpable.

Thank you so much for your support!

Like Ichi Nijika, everyone held hands, bowed slightly to the audience, and then turned and walked off the stage.

Then came the penultimate performance...

Five petite figures slowly walked out from backstage.

"Here comes... the mysterious headlining band."

Both ordinary fans and musicians are incredibly curious.

Only the band members who had seen Hirasawa Yui backstage looked strange. They had previously expressed doubts about the End Band and the Thornless Band, but they had been proven wrong, so they dared not express their opinions about these 'girls' now.

Then the audience saw five female students take the stage.

"No, the first two bands, although they were also young girls, at least had a rock vibe. This band is really just a bunch of students!"

"Wei! It's all your fault..."

Akiyama Mio muttered a complaint under her breath.

"Well, after thinking about it, I still think the classic skin feels better. How about we go downstairs and change into our original outfits?"

Hirasawa Yui turned around and asked in a low voice.

"Never!"

Yui Hirasawa originally wanted everyone to wear a mature style, but Mio Akiyama and Azusa Nakano refused to wear it, so in the end they had to go out in school uniforms.

"Nice to meet you all! We're from the Light Music Club... cough cough! We're the K-ON band! I'm so happy to have spent this wonderful time with you all today! Now, please enjoy some delicious snacks... oh wait, I mean, enjoy some light and cheerful music~!"

Daiyu's slip of the tongue made the atmosphere much more cheerful.

This relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, although somewhat out of place with rock music, is something no one will dislike; only those whose minds are filled with rock music will find it a little unpleasant.

Especially Old Li, who had just been humiliated by "The End Band" and "The Thornless Band," frowned again.

Is Garden Group in too much of a hurry?

They even sent out student girls who weren't fully trained yet...

"Please don't say [you're lazy]! Actually, I'm really 'enthusiastic'!"

As a result, when Mio Akiyama sang the first line of "Don't say 'lazy'", the musicians and other band members who had been relaxed tensed up again and straightened their posture once more.

Not redeemable!

You call this relaxing and cheerful music?

Old Li: ……

Damn! I got slapped in the face again!

"Ah, the younger generation surpasses the older generation..."

Yu Han, who was next to her, sighed softly.

"You brat, aren't you supposed to be one of the younger generation? What are you saying! You're proud of being outshone by a bunch of girls, aren't you!"

Old Li, feeling like he'd been targeted, immediately turned red.

Yu Han: ... (looks away)

Chapter 257 Bros, Double the Defense Breakthrough

"I really miss it..."

Chen Xiao finally understands why some villains are so easily controlled by a song. This song, "Don't say 'lazy'", is a childhood memory for him from decades ago. Hearing it again today, he can't help but feel a little emotional.

Not to mention it's the original cast...

Oh wait, this time there's also Azusa-nyan.

The song ended.

The next song is "Light and Fleeting Time".

(Slippery egg~ Slippery egg~ Slippery egg~)

The original lead vocalist, Mio Akiyama, was moved to the sub-vocalist position and switched places with Yui Hirasawa. Although she had also sung this song, the effect was definitely not as good as Yui Hirasawa's version.

Of course, it's also possible that she felt too ashamed.

Every time I see you, my heart skips a beat.

My trembling longing floats gently like cotton candy~

"You always look so hardworking when I look at your profile~"

"No matter how long I stare at you, you won't notice."

"If only this could be in a dream~"

That way I can get closer to you~

"Oh God, please!"

"Grant me a beautiful dreamlike time to be alone with you..."

Unlike her previous energetic rock songs, this song is a light and cheerful type. Coupled with Yui Hirasawa's naturally cute and innocent voice, it gradually soothes the audience's emotions and immerses them in this 'light and carefree time'.

However, the lyrics focus on a young girl's unrequited love, using a light melody and straightforward lyrics to depict the nervousness and sweetness of facing her crush...

how to say.

The song is catchy, but the lyrics are so embarrassing they're enough to 'kill' Boqi-chan. It's said that even the original author admitted it himself.

"Is that girl confessing her feelings to someone?"

The guitarist backstage scratched his cheek, then his head, and then, not wanting anyone to see his embarrassment, covered his mouth and muttered a complaint.

Thinking about it, given Hirasawa Yui and the others' age, they probably wouldn't confess to someone on a stage like this... right?

Chen Xiao: It's hard to say.

"After all, she's a teenage girl, so it's normal for her to write lyrics like this. After all, rock music is about releasing inner emotions..."

The drummer next to him explained, but like the guitarist, he also covered the lower half of his face in embarrassment.

The same applies to other expert musicians and bands.

It's important to know that their rock music is basically derived from Europe and America, and everyone knows what kind of lyrics European and American rock music are. Even when localized, they are still somewhat 'excessive'.

This is the first time I've heard rock music so 'pure'.

Although this description isn't quite accurate, to them it's like a muscular guy in the gym who's training hard but has tattoos of anime girls instead of dragons and tigers on his body.

However, those laymen in the audience just found it quite novel. After all, most people who come to anime conventions listen to cute anime songs, so they are very receptive to this song.

"Xiao, I need to go to the restroom."

Just as the song on stage was halfway through, Asuna Yuuki seemed to have timed it perfectly and stood up to speak to Chen Xiao.

"You don't need to tell me about such trivial matters."

Chen Xiao waved his hand.

"I am coming too!"

As a result, Nayuta Kana on the other side also got up, but her tone was a little reluctant.

"You're going too?"

Chen Xiao instinctively felt that something was going on, but he had no clue where it was. However, thinking that Asuna and the others wouldn't harm him, he gestured for them to do as they pleased.

The seats on either side of Chen Xiao became empty.

After singing "Light and Fleeting Time," Yui Hirasawa said that there were only two songs today. The audience felt it was a bit of a pity, but they were relieved to think that this was her debut performance and there was no need to push herself so hard.

"Thank you so much for coming today! Please continue to support our K-on band in the future!"

As Hirasawa Yui and the others left the stage, an elegant figure came to Chen Xiao's side.

"Tomorrow...Nai?"

Chen Xiao instinctively spoke up, only to find that it wasn't Yuuki Asuna who returned to her seat.

Instead, it was Kurumi Tokisaki wearing a black gothic dress!

"The Four Heavenly Kings?"

Upon seeing Tokisaki Kurumi dressed like this, Chen Xiao momentarily thought that it wasn't the real Kurumi, but rather the eyepatch-wearing Kurumi from the Four Heavenly Kings of Kurumi's Dark History.

After all, on that day in the Time Realm, besides Kurumi herself, the most representative Four Heavenly Kings also appeared and had some "soup," so Chen Xiao had a deep impression of them.

"........."

Kurumi Tokisaki's smile froze instantly.

Then Kurumi's upper body suddenly leaned in front of Chen Xiao, grabbed his hand, and made Chen Xiao check her authenticity himself.

"That's really going too far~ Xiao, how could you confuse the real person with the clone? Can't you tell the difference?"

Chen Xiao's eyes widened immediately.

Ohhhhhhh!!

This feeling of 'numerical inflation' is like the Azur Lane version of Kurumi!

"My lord~~~!"

However, this was not the end of it. Suddenly, a blonde, golden-eyed, ancient-style beauty sat down in the seat that originally belonged to Nayuta, grabbed Chen Xiao's other arm, and leaned against him.

It's Hoshimiya Rokuro!

"Hey~! Isn't it comfortable to have two women on your left and right, brother?"

The seat in front of Chen Xiao had been taken by Kotori Itsuka, who turned around with a mischievous grin, her black ribbon tied around her neck.

"Ah Xiao." "Ah Xiao-kun~!"

Kotori Itsuka is sitting to her right with Yoshino and Yoshina in her hand.

"Xiao! Surprised?!"

Tohka Yatogami, who was sitting to the left of Kotori Itsuka, also turned her head.

"Hehe, scared, kid."

Sitting on the other side of Kurumi Tokisaki, Nia Honjou took off her glasses and revealed a smug smile.

However, whether it was because of her feelings towards Nia Honjo or for the sake of symmetry in the seating arrangement, Kagano Nanami sat on the other side of Hoshimiya Mukuro without saying a word.

"Not only that~ there's me too! My true love!"

"Me too!"
