He suppressed his discomfort at being the center of attention and sighed.

"You never said there would be so many people coming."

"It's okay, Yifang-ge. We're all Miku-nee's friends and colleagues. I believe you can get along well with us!"

Kagamine cleared his throat and looked directly at the group.

"Um, this is Kaito-nii, over there are Meiko-nee and Luca-nee, and this is my older sister, Kagamine Rin. As you can see, we're all idols from the same company. We're all here today to support Miku-nee!"

Kaito had already met Accelerator once; the latter simply smiled at him and that was it.

The other three are different.

"Whoa, your name is Accelerator, right? Accelerator-kun, is your hair this color naturally...?"

"And he has red eyes, he's as handsome as a vampire!"

"Her style of dress is also quite unique, it feels like she's into the dark aesthetic!"

And so, the strongest in Academy City was surrounded by three women, and various discussions ensued.

He sighed again, suppressing the urge to turn and run away.

"So, what about Hatsune Miku?"

"Ah—that's right. The main reason you came here, Yifang-kun, is because of Miku, right?"

"Don't you dare say anything without permission."

"Alright, alright! If you're looking for Miku-nee, she's down there!"

Rin Kagamine walked to the side, smiling as she pointed out the window.

From here you can see everything below.

The stands were practically flooded with people holding up bright green light sticks and cheering, probably calling out Hatsune Miku's name.

From here, you can see the figures on the stage.

—On the stage directly opposite, the lights shone, and a figure stood on the stage.

That was a miraculous light that could completely electrify the audience.

As the huge numbers 39 flashed behind them, the atmosphere in the entire venue was brought to its peak.

"Hello everyone! I'm Hatsune Miku!"

The atmosphere instantly exploded, and everyone cheered.

Looking down through the window, Accelerator immediately raised an eyebrow.

What an amazing scene...

That silly young lady who usually acts like that is now able to display such a level of elegance is something even he couldn't have imagined.

And so, Hatsune Miku's live performance began.

Chapter 89 The Song I Want to Convey to You

The singing continued to echo below.

Along with the singing, the cheers of the audience also rang out.

Everyone in the audience was cheering and jumping for joy. This was what they wanted, what they had hoped for, what they had dreamed of.

This was a scene that Accelerator had never witnessed before.

"This is what an idol is..."

Although he learned a lot about the world through books, even if he wasn't an idol, he had a profound knowledge of music, singing, and instrument playing.

But learning from books alone is far less impactful than seeing it with your own eyes.

If Accelerator hadn't witnessed this scene firsthand, he probably would never have imagined that an idol's influence could reach such a terrifying level.

The entire world was watching this live broadcast, not only the audience at the scene, but also those in various countries watching it online.

The number of viewers for this concert has exceeded 100 million.

This is the influence of world-class idols.

Even Accelerator couldn't help but sigh. Looking at that figure standing on the stage, singing skillfully and letting her voice reach every corner of the world, who could imagine that she was just an ordinary girl living with him in her daily life?

Accelerator watched all this silently, a slight surprise creeping into his heart.

However, what he felt even more was disbelief.

"How can someone like me stand here and watch this stuff?"

If it were the Accelerator of the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to calmly stand here and observe all of this.

Previously, Accelerator had hardly ever been to places like this, let alone streets with a bit of crowd. The only place he had ever been to with a large number of people was the research institute. The so-called school was just a special class with only other people in it. There was no way anyone else there except for the scum-like researcher.

The Special Ability Users Multiple Adjustment Technology Research Institute, or TREK for short, is the prison called the school where Accelerator stayed until he was nine years old.

If it were me a few months ago, I would find it hard to imagine that I would do such a thing now.

Seriously, that's incredibly stupid.

"Miku's dance and singing are a great match, aren't they?"

The sound came from beside me.

A woman with brown hair walked up to her. It was Meiko, who was looking down through the one-way window with a calm smile.

"There are very few people in this world who can sing while simultaneously incorporating their own dances and managing their breath to deliver emotionally rich performances, just like she does."

"You're both idols from the same company, both world-renowned, so your levels should be about the same, right?"

"That's true, but there are still significant differences in their characteristics."

"Characteristics?"

Accelerator subconsciously became puzzled.

Are there any other distinguishing characteristics for idols?

"Yes, that's what makes us unique. Each of us has our own distinct characteristics. Some have a cool tone, some have a gentle and lovely tone, and some have a rich emotional tone when they sing, which can make people feel joy and happiness as soon as they hear it."

"And for Miku, her songs are full of hope."

Meiko quietly watched the figure still moving on the stage below.

After a long while, Hatsune Miku finally finished her penultimate song.

"Next up is going to be a very special piece of music!"

Click. As she spoke, all the stage lights went out.

This wasn't a power outage. Although the audience was surprised, there was still enough light in the special box where Accelerator and his group were, meaning that Hatsune Miku had deliberately kept it that way.

In an instant, a bright turquoise blue shimmered.

Hatsune Miku reappeared on stage wearing a brand new outfit.

"That is...!"

Accelerator was taken aback for a moment.

The outfit Hatsune Miku was wearing was the same one she had received as a reward from a mission in the previous world.

Magical future.

The moment she put on the clothes, the bright blue and white colors shone all over the girl's body.

With a calm smile, Hatsune Miku raised her hand, and the magic wand appeared in her hand in an instant, revealing itself to everyone without reservation.

What is that foolish young lady thinking? Is she planning to reveal her power? No, that's not right—

He quickly realized something.

"Was it to make the audience think that these were just special effects and that the clothes were deliberately changed?"

"Yes, Miku's outfit is somewhat similar to the 2017 official outfit she wore at the anniversary live three years ago, but there seem to be some differences as well."

Meiko was not surprised by the situation.

"Those special effects were probably holographic projections that Miku had prepared in advance, which she then used in conjunction with that outfit for the performance. That's probably what she was thinking, right?"

They actually used weapons that could be used to attack others as costumes at a concert...

That guy is really reckless.

Accelerator frowned. If Hatsune Miku couldn't control the power of her outfit, it might cause the power to go berserk, which would lead to the destruction of everyone in the venue.

What the hell is she thinking?

Unlike me, she didn't master the Silver Wing weapon to its fullest extent during this period. Accelerator hadn't even seen Hatsune Miku wear that outfit many times. She probably spent most of her time on daily tasks and couldn't possibly have used that time to familiarize herself with how to use the outfit.

Ultimately, he didn't believe Hatsune Miku knew how to skillfully use the power of that outfit.

In such a densely populated place, any mistake could have serious consequences.

"Idiot...is that guy out of his mind?"

Accelerator clicked his tongue in displeasure.

He was even prepared to force his way out to stop the riot.

But until then.

The singing had already begun.

No matter how perfect the equation is—

"The outcome will change because of your small actions—"

No disaster occurred.

Hatsune Miku lightly raised her hand, her cute face adorned with a dazzling smile.

Similarly, the Rubik's Cube-like particles instantly spread throughout the entire venue, and the concert hall, which was not illuminated by lights, was instantly covered by azure light particles.

The audience cheered joyfully.

The girl on stage naturally joined in, singing loudly.

This already indicates—

"Everyone's thoughts—must be strong—"

"So—right?"

"We can definitely create tomorrow!"

Those were incredibly practiced movements.

Under Accelerator's watchful eye, Hatsune Miku effortlessly manipulated the forces in the air, performing various maneuvers.

Sometimes it uses magic to create cubes, and sometimes it uses magic to create lighting effects.

Sometimes she uses magic to fly into the air, and sometimes she uses magic to create cute rabbits.

That level of proficiency is absolutely impossible to achieve on a first try.

But why—?

"I remember Miku-nee practiced this song for a long time."

Kagamine walked over and looked at everything outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and couldn't help but say something.

"Yesterday, Miku changed into that outfit in advance and deliberately found an empty, deserted place to practice alone for the whole day. Today was the same. It seems that Miku was still practicing in that outfit before the concert started."

"Huh? This song shouldn't be too difficult, right? Is there anything we need to practice?"

"No! Miku herself said that it seems... she used this song for training so that the outfit could be used for its true purpose?"

What…?

The first person standing to the side couldn't help but concentrate.

Wait a minute, if that's the case—

Doesn't that mean that Hatsune Miku has actually been training to improve her proficiency with this outfit over the past two days?

For what? Just for this concert?

"Eh... so why did Miku-nee choose this outfit?"
