What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

Yamai Yagyuu and Yamai Yuzuru, who were in the upper left and upper right corners, wrapped their arms around Chen Xiao's neck and whispered in his ear.

As for the back seat...

Origami Tobiichi's design has remained unchanged from the very beginning.

If conditions allowed, she would love to try brainwave therapy.

"Why is everyone who challenged me here?"

Deeply impacted by both mental and physical shocks, Chen Xiao looked around and found that the people around him had all changed, and for a moment his mind couldn't process it.

This scene was naturally witnessed by her college classmates, cousin, and her colleagues.

“Those are the ones we’ve met before—no! Besides those few… there are actually two more people!”

Ding Jiafang and the others, who were sitting a little behind, stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the challenge group took over the places where Asuna and the others had been. They clearly recognized Honjou Nia and Kagano Nanami, whom they had seen in the anime section before.

Oh, and there's also Kotori Itsuka and others at the buffet restaurant.

Meanwhile, Tokisaki Kurumi and Hoshimiya Muku were also recognized by the other half of the group. But thinking that they had been fantasizing about whether they could strike up a conversation with them, and now that Chen Xiao was embracing both of them, they were overcome with sadness and their eyes seemed to be filled with tears of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Fortunately, they didn't see the 'frontal' view, otherwise, tears of blood would probably have really 'burst out'.

"We've seen those two beautiful girls before! Waaah... How could this happen! Why! Why are they also in Chen Xiao's harem?! I can't take it anymore! Class monitor! Class monitor! Something's wrong with me... Something's wrong!"

Student Psychology Committee Member: I'm not feeling well myself!

Hearing the groans behind him, Chen Xiao, the person involved, didn't dare to turn around. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Turning around would probably lead to the formation of the "fff group" or "Xiaosha team" in this world.

"This is like a selection of concubines! A gothic young lady, a blonde beauty with an ancient style... and they're all snuggling up to your brother like concubines! There are even twins... no two are alike! Chen Xia, did you see that? You freaking saw that, didn't you!"

Sun Lin was pulling on Chen Xia's arm and shaking it incessantly, speaking incoherently.

That's almost thirty people!

Chen Xia: ...

At this moment, Chen Xia felt neither joy nor sorrow.

Let Chen Xiao do whatever he wants.

Even if he were to become an 'Egyptian Pharaoh,' she couldn't stop him.

Chapter 258 Irony (Miku Izayoi version)

Fortunately, the commotion coming from the bros and Chen Xia did not attract the attention of other audience members, because after Hirasawa Yui and the others left the stage, it was time for the final showdown.

Even though they were physically and mentally exhausted, the audience still mustered their spirits, looking forward to what surprises Garden Group would bring them next.

But then they saw that the person who came on stage was not the original host, but a mature woman in her early twenties wearing a light-colored office lady outfit. Her long silver hair was tied up in a slightly messy way. Although her dark circles and lazy atmosphere were a bit of a downer, quite a few people liked that look.

"Thank you all for coming. Let me introduce myself. I am Reine Murasame, representative of Garden Group Co., Ltd. Before handing the stage over to the main character of today's program, please allow me to take a little of your time."

"Why is Lingyin here too?"

Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

What are you doing getting involved, you big boss?

Of course, Murasame Reine didn't say anything too important; she simply advertised for the Garden Group, indicating that more projects would be launched in the future (such as Hatsune Miku).

The next program will feature the first idol singer launched by Garden Group...

"Idol?"

The audience members looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, some companies that manage idol stars were secretly worried. They thought that Garden Group would focus on cultivating girl bands and that the turmoil in other music companies would have nothing to do with them.

And yet, only a short time has passed.

The stern warning stick is about to be used on them!

"Could it be..."

Upon hearing the word "idol," Chen Xiao already had a guess in his mind, since apart from the [side story] character, only one of the female protagonists who had challenged him was not present.

Click—click—click—!

At this moment, the spotlights on the stage suddenly changed, illuminating the huge concert venue as if it were daytime.

Accompanied by an ethereal and dreamlike prelude, Miku Izayoi, dressed in a gorgeous performance costume, gracefully strolled from backstage to the center of the stage.

Her purple-silver eyes reflected the countless flashing glow sticks below the stage, and when she saw Chen Xiao's surprised face, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

"Oh oh oh……"

The audience below the stage let out a long gasp of amazement.

Even though people nowadays have stereotypes about so-called idol stars, those stereotypes disappear completely after seeing a beautiful girl like Miku Izayoi.

Of course, this only applies to Miku Izayoi.

Other idols and celebrities should still be disliked.

Then, Miku Izayoi gently raised her hand and greeted the audience with her heavenly voice, her tone playful as she spoke:

"Hello everyone! My name is Miku Izayoi! I feel incredibly happy to be here today, meeting you all through my singing! I hope you can forget all your worries and immerse yourselves in this musical world that belongs only to us, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, thunderous cheers and screams erupted from the audience. To this, Miku blinked gently and threw a sweet kiss to Chen Xiao in the audience.

"Hahaha..."

Chen Xiao could only respond with a smile.

Accompanied by the band's rousing accompaniment, Miku Izayoi closed her eyes. When she opened them again, all she could see was the dazzling light of the stage queen. Then, she opened her arms and, with her soul-stirring voice, officially opened the curtain on this audio-visual feast.

"Please don't be so gentle with me..."

What kind of expression should I wear?

"No matter how many words I save up, I still can't see...your profile."

Miku Izayoi didn't sing any songs from "Date A Live," but instead sang the theme song from "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute"—irony!

After all, ClariS's voice is sweet, just like hers. Miku Izayoi only needs to make some adjustments to sing this song perfectly, which is also a surprise she prepared for Chen Xiao.

"It's this song! It really brings back memories—thank you, Miku."

Chen Xiao closed his eyes slightly, seemingly recalling the time he watched anime in his previous life. Although many plot points in "Oreimo" are considered cringeworthy by today's anime fans, they did bring him a lot of joy back then.

Especially the theme song.

He listened to them on repeat countless times and even collected all the works by those two singers (ClariS).

Wait a minute! If Miku can sing Irony, doesn't that mean she can sing all of ClariS's other songs too?

There are other anime songs that Ichichi Nijika and the others can also perform in this world!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

But let's talk about these things later. For now, let's focus on listening to Miku's performance of Irony.

"Rock style..."

At this moment, among the musicians, Lao Li, who had been frowning since Murasame Reine took the stage, relaxed his brows again, no longer caring about being proven wrong once again, and quietly listened to Izayoi Miku's singing.

Yes, Irony is also a rock song, so having an idol singer on the show isn't exactly off-topic.

This voice is just so beautiful...

Are there really people whose voices are naturally this sweet?

"Wait... these lyrics, is it another confession? No way! This grown man is starting to feel like a girl!"

Backstage, the guitarist, feeling uneasy, moved away from the stage from everyone else, afraid that listening too much might affect his future musical style.

Of course, after experiencing the end of the band Ikuyo Kita, the band Nina Izare from the band Hari no Nata, and the bands Yui Hirasawa and Mio Akiyama from K-on, they were somewhat disappointed in the lead singers of their bands.

Look at how they sing!

Band lead singer: Can a man's voice be the same as a woman's?

In contrast to the live streams that were wildly popular on the scene and various platforms (with over 1 viewers), Chen Xiao's display case fell into a brief silence, especially the one representing Ruri Gokou from "Oreimo".

Black Cat: Why are you singing "Irony"?! (Shouting loudly)

Ruri Gokou, who was watching the live stream, couldn't hold back.

The theme song for my own anime was sung by an outsider!

However, considering that the lyrics of this song are about a younger sister (Kousaka Kirino) who wasn't created by Chen Xiao, she felt much better.

Four minutes passed quickly, and after finishing her song, Miku Izayoi looked down at the audience again, eagerly anticipating their reaction.

The audience was silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers. However, since the glow sticks they had were not light blue to match Miku's hair color, they could only wave their blue glow sticks wildly.

Yamada Ryo: ...

"it is good!"

Chen Xiao also clapped his hands with great joy.

"Thank you, thank you everyone for your support..."

Seeing such a good result on her first performance, Miku Yosai was overjoyed. Especially when she saw her lover applauding for her from the audience, the love welling up from the depths of her heart made her confess her love to Chen Xiao without thinking.

"Thank you, I love you the most~! Darling~~~!"

The cheers at the scene suddenly stopped.

"Darling?"

Chapter 259 It burned out, leaving only snow-white ash...

Darling.

It means 'beloved person'.

However, this term itself is a borrowed word, and few people use it in reality. It only appears in some movies, novels, and even two-dimensional games or anime.

So when Miku Izayoi shouted "Darling!", although the scene fell silent for a moment, the girl on the stage showed no panic and waved happily to the audience (Chen Xiao) below the stage, so everyone raised their glow sticks and cheered again.

After all, there are idols with the "national boyfriend" persona, and even major idol companies intend to do so. It's not impossible for a female idol to call her fans "darling".

and so……

The 'darling' she's calling must be me! .jpg

Some viewers awakened the superpower of 'eating peaches'.

However, those in the know understand who Miku Izayoi is referring to when she calls out "darling".

"Darling~"

Tokisaki Kurumi, standing next to Chen Xiao, looked at him with a mocking expression, drawing circles on his chest with her finger, highlighting the heart that was pounding because of Yuuichi Miku's public confession.

"How does it feel to be confessed to in public, brother?"

Kotori Itsuka in the front seat also turned around, a mischievous grin on her face.

Not only her, but everyone else was also 'curious' about Chen Xiao's attitude, and they all leaned over to look at him. Origami Tobiichi in the back seat even used a brain-pad wave tactic.

I reckon she synchronized her body type with the version from Azur Lane.

Although it's not very big, at least it provides some padding.

"...That was awesome!"

That was the only answer Chen Xiao could give.

If a girl who loves you wholeheartedly confesses her love to you in front of the whole world, what man could resist?

He felt completely drained, as if he were immersed in a gentle embrace, and had no desire to get up from his seat.

No, not just seemingly. Look at the group of beautiful women around me, what else could this be but a paradise of pleasure?

With the departure of Miku Izayoi, who caused a sensation at the event and on various live streaming platforms, the concert at this anime convention came to a successful close. In addition to the Garden Group Co., Ltd. gaining a lot of attention as a result, the invited rock bands also gained a lot of traffic, which is a real benefit.

Therefore, on their social media, they naturally showered Ichiji Nijika and the others with praise. Even though they didn't like current idol stars, they still gave high praise to Izayoi Miku's rendition of Irony.

Of course, there were also people who found Miku Izayoi 'suspicious'. After the concert in the music area, some media wanted to go backstage for an interview.
