I already said this is not a life simulator!

"That couldn't be better~"

Xi Wang rubbed Grayshu's little face affectionately... I don't know if it's because of the fusion warrior surgery, Grayshu's face is so tender and cute.

"Ah...really, why is Grayshuin so attached to you? I don't even know... Hey wait, why are you leaving?"

"Hehe~ Hen, and Blanca, I have something~ I need little Gray's help, so..."

I'm so tired, so alone

"It doesn't matter, as long as Gray is willing."

Before Xiwang finished speaking, Blanca nodded and said with a smile, then turned her gaze to Grayxiu, who still had no intention of getting off Xiwang.

"If it's Brother Xiwang, I will help."

Grayshu blinked, then nodded, not refusing.

"Thank you very much~ So... please~ Hen, this is the request of my life, please leave Gray Xiu to me~ Well, temporarily."

"??? You kid?!"

"Haha~"

"Hey, big star, how come you have the chance to call me? Oh, it's okay. You can come to me directly. I'll show you the magic I just researched... Eh? I'll show it to you directly now. Although it may not be clear, it doesn't matter! Wei Wei's magic will definitely surprise you!"

"Well, I believe your magic will be like this. Or rather, it has always been like this."

"That's right! I'm the Great Magician, Wei Erwei! Oh, by the way, Big Star, do you still owe me a song?"

"Wei Weiwei...you've asked me for more than a hundred songs, and every time I see a different "you", you always bring this up...you're trying to get the wool from me in different ways, right?"

"Hey~ I'm going to show you my new magic trick, right?"

"I remember you promised me that I don't need a ticket to watch your magic?"

"Really? Oh... I think I did say that... Oh, this is bad. How should Wei Wei compensate you, a big star?"

"Help me make some ornaments... and some souvenirs. In exchange, I will sing a song for you."

"Is that all? And... accessories? Who are you planning to give them to? Let me think... Eden, and Sakura? Right~ Haha... As for the song, there's no need~ After all, this time it's Velvet's debt, and as a [Great Magician], I naturally have to repay it!"

"Ha... That's not necessary. This song is specially given to [you]... So, I hope you can accept it, and... the accessories are for you."

"us?"

"Ah, sorry, maybe I should be more precise with my words in front of you... It should be for everyone, um."

Xi Wang said so with a smile.

…………

………………

In this way, during the preparation stage of the "concert", in addition to the staff who were arranging the venue, Xi Wang himself was also busy, instructing the fusion warriors he invited, preparing the songs to be sung, and at the same time sending invitations to the scheduled personnel, such as Mebius' assistant Klein, Qianjie's deputy Imer, and... Sakura's sister, Ling.

Besides, he occasionally had to bring Grayshull with him, and do something mysteriously with Mebius by his side... He also had to contact Velvet from time to time, saying that he wanted to discuss some [details].

He even needed to do some vocal exercises with Eden in his spare time, and help Ying get familiar with the feel of playing again...

For a moment, Xi Wang seemed to be busier than everyone else... Alicia wanted to help him, wanted to solve some of his problems and reduce his fatigue, but he refused.

"Only in this way can I have some sense of reality, some... definite sense of reality, a sense that I am changing something." - Xiwang responded to Ai Lishia.

In the end, even Eden and Ying, who had been indulging Xiwang in such behavior, couldn't stand it anymore and half-forced Xiwang to rest for a while.

"Okay, Xiwang...it's ready now."

Eden gently pulled Xiwang and Ying together, half-forced him down, then gently lifted his head and placed it on his soft thighs.

"You've worked hard enough... take a break."

"…Um, sorry for making you worry."

Xi Wang paused for a moment before nodding and responding softly.

"Want to get some sleep?"

Sakura also spoke as softly as possible.

Originally, she and Eden had planned to prepare a sleep song for Xiwang... but after careful consideration, they felt that this might instead arouse Xiwang's interest and make him play with them, which would defeat their purpose, so they gave up.

"Okay~"

And as they expected, Xi Wang did not refuse. Instead, he stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and spread out his five fingers, as if asking for something.

"uh-huh?"

She didn't say a word, but just hummed softly, and blinked her star-like eyes, looking somewhat cute.

"...Well, I'm here."

Eden understood and gently took the hand he extended, overlapping their palms and clasping them together.

"…We are here."

Ying paused for a moment, and also spoke softly, her slender and graceful hands like falling cherry blossoms, quietly falling into his hands and holding his.

"........."

Only then did he seem to be relieved temporarily, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Chapter 8001: This Moment, Like Stars in the Night ()

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the performance arrived as scheduled. In the specially cleared venue, the staff and soldiers of "Fire Moth" came here together, either accompanying their comrades or bringing their relatives... Please rest assured that everyone who comes has a "ticket". Although it is free of charge, the number of people is still limited.

After all, the seats are limited. As for those who don’t have “tickets”, they can still come, but they have to stand. Although most people don’t mind this.

Behind the scenes...

"Do you want to rest for a while longer, Eden? After all, it's only evening now, so we still have some time, right?"

"Of course not. Rather, I'm about to go on stage again... This makes me quite excited. I'm afraid that even if I want to rest, I won't be able to calm down."

Eden turned around and responded to Xiwang truthfully, but Xiwang's gaze was now elsewhere, or rather... on the wine glass in Eden's hand.

"You should drink less, okay? Even after becoming a fusion warrior, drinking probably won't cause any harm to your body, but... it's still better to drink in moderation, okay?"

"Yeah, I know... This is your "concert", I don't want to miss it because of drunkenness."

Eden drank the remaining wine in the glass and said with a slightly red face.

"It's just that I'm a little obsessed with this feeling of being tipsy, and it reminds me of the time when I was still on the stage... Of course, it can also help me do some... more daring things."

He put the wine glass down, moved forward, put his arms on Xiwang's shoulders, and pressed the weight of his body lightly on him. The breath with a slight aroma of wine hit his face, and then in turn passed to his nose... The two of them were suddenly pulled close to an extremely close distance.

"You can't pretend anymore if you tell me, okay?"

"It's not necessary in front of you, is it?"

Eden blinked, and without waiting for Xiwang's response, she kissed him directly on the lips, leaving a hint of the taste of alcohol in his mouth.

"Um... Eden jumped the gun."

A slight sound like that of falling cherry blossoms came from behind Xiwang, and he could also feel a pair of hands gently grabbing Xiwang's shoulders and leading him away from the "restraints" of Eden. Then... as if in a fit of anger, Ying pressed her weight on Xiwang's back. Her cherry-like pink hair and wave-like white hair intertwined and drooped gently, mixed with a hint of Ying's light floral scent.

"Ah, I'm really sorry~"

Eden smiled softly, his eyes unconsciously falling on the pair of slender crimson animal ears on Sakura's head that were constantly trembling because of her happy mood.

"Sakura is becoming more and more bold and honest."

"Well--"

A slight blush appeared on Sakura's face, and the pair of slender animal ears on her head swayed twice, and finally slowly drooped down a little, expressing shyness, and then quickly bounced up and trembled with pleasure.

"It's okay to be bold sometimes. Isn't that what you taught me?"

As she spoke, Ying deliberately kissed Xiwang on the side of her face. However, before Ying could turn her face back to the right, Xiwang tilted his head and left a light kiss on the corner of her mouth, which immediately made Ying unconscious. Only the pair of slender crimson animal ears were left trembling with joy.

"Okay, now it's time to adjust your mindset. Also...if you continue like this, you'll be discovered...someone's already here, okay?"

Xiwang said with a smile, and Ying left Xiwang after hesitating for a while... There will be a performance later, and she can't mess it up because of momentary shame.

"Oh, by the way, Sakura, Ling is here already, right?"

"Well, I came here after I sent her to her seat... and she asked me to thank you for arranging a seat so close to her."

"It's my concert after all, so it's okay to use some of my power to satisfy my selfish desires, right?"

Xi Wang smiled with satisfaction. Although the blowing wind had already told him the information, he still wanted to ask... After all, this would make it more realistic.

"Okay, next, let's go see how the others are doing."

Xiwang took the initiative to walk out, and Eden and Ying looked at each other, smiled, and followed him.

…………

“Hey, Qianjie, you’re here so early? But your song is going to be performed at the end as a closing song, right? It doesn’t have to be so early, or…”

"you shut up."

Qianjie subconsciously raised his voice, but immediately slowed down his voice, trying to maintain a calm voice as much as possible to respond to Xiwang, while tugging at his collar, obviously not used to this restrictive dress.

"But Qianjie's clothes are pretty nice~ So handsome~"

"Isn't that right? I spent a long time helping Qianjie choose this outfit. It took me a lot of thought to get him to agree to change into this outfit. Come on, thank you, Alicia?"

Alicia jumped out from the side with light steps, leaned forward slightly, blinked at Xiwang, and said.

"Thank you, Alicia~"

"Hmm~ At this point, shouldn't Xiwang come up with a more...sincere [thank you gift]?"

"Then... I'll let you touch my hair? It's very soft, just like water, and feels very comfortable. I'm quite confident in this aspect, ok?"

"Well...Xiwang pretending to be confused...that's really too much."

Alicia struggled to move her eyes away from Xiwang's hair, then puffed up her face slightly, looking unhappy.

"Xiwang didn't even invite me this time, that's too much... Is there nothing I can do to help?"

Alicia hinted as much as she could... Ever since she knew that Xiwang was a similar yet different kind of person to her, Alicia had always wanted to help him, but Xiwang seemed to be very resistant to her help.

Really, Xiwang obviously loves [humanity] just as much as I do, and both want to do something for [humanity]... If that's the case, we should work together and help each other~ Why... is he so resistant to my intervention?

Alicia didn't understand.

"Because there's no need, Alicia... This time, you don't need to do anything, you just need to enjoy it."

Xi Wang shook her head slightly and spoke softly, then changed the subject.

"Oh yeah, where's Paddo?"

"Pado has gone to the kitchen."

"...Hmm? Are you going to steal some dried fish?"

"Haha~ No, it's just that Padua wanted to take advantage of your performance to discuss with the chefs and set up a small stall to provide everyone with some food and drinks, such as popcorn. Then she will go around the audience with those snacks and sell them."

"Well...should I say it's worthy of being called Padu?"

"Oh, by the way, Kevin might be late because he had an emergency mission, but he's on his way back at full speed and will catch up."

"Well, I'm sure he won't be late."

"Aponia has also gone to the "Deepest Place" with your arrangement~ It's about time, that's great~ This way everyone there can also see your "concert"~?"

"That couldn't be better~"

"Others are also accompanying their friends. After all, there is still some time before their performance. They can accompany their relatives and friends to enjoy your song before making preparations... It's just that Qianjie is pitiful. He has no friends, so he can only come here early~?"

"You! You are so nagging, Alicia."

Qianjie was about to yell subconsciously, but after thinking it over carefully, he held it back.

"Actually, you can go find Imer, right? Qianjie, or just chat with the other warriors. Everyone will be happy to share the happiness with you."

"Huh... happiness? I don't need that kind of thing... and this kind of comfortable and noisy place will only make me feel bored. And... the time is almost up, why don't you guys get out of here?"
