A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

Kaname nodded calmly.

"The light had already flashed briefly once before when there was thunder."

"Huh? Is that true?"

Shiina Riki, who had not missed a beat during the entire live broadcast, widened his eyes in surprise.

"Why didn't I see that at all? Where's the light?"

"I also... don't see anything wrong with the lighting."

Takamatsu Deng also showed a rather confused expression.

"Even though I was staring at the stage the whole time..."

"...Can't you all see it?"

Kaname first tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said:

"Well, normally you shouldn't see it."

“???”×3.

The more you get to know Lenai, the more you'll discover how different she is.

Whether it is the way of thinking that is infinitely close to that of a cat, or the style of doing things on its own, it makes everyone feel incredible and helpless.

Meanwhile, compared to everyone else who was preoccupied with the power outage, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had remained silent from the beginning, suddenly picked up her phone and opened her social media app.

"Sure enough, announcing this kind of thing on that occasion would definitely cause a sensation."

Looking at the constantly emerging live photos and the name [Starry Sky] in the hot topics, Nagasaki Suyo muttered quietly:

"With this... both the rumors about [NozAK!] and the promotion for the upcoming [TGC] have been resolved in one fell swoop. Truly worthy of Triangle Hsinchu."

But... why was it Mikado Hatsuka who made the announcement? Shouldn't Hoshino Ai herself, who will be participating in TGC, make the announcement?

Was this intentional on the part of the two of them, or was it just Sanjiao Chuhua's own decision?

What kind of changes will happen to Starry Sky after this live performance? Will the relationship between Chihaya Tetsuya and those two people change?

"What's wrong, Sushi? You look so serious."

Chihaya Aine came closer with a curious look on her face.

"Did you see any interesting news?"

"I'm talking about you..."

Why is this guy who's closest to Tetsuya the calmest? Does he really understand the impact that live show will have on Tetsuya and his brand?

Ugh……

"Forget it, since it's too troublesome to explain, I'll just tell you the conclusion directly."

Nagasaki Motoyo put down her phone and said to Chihaya Aine with a serious face:

"Thanks to those two people on the stage, Tetsuya's name will spread all over the internet overnight..."

"In other words, from today on, you are the celebrity designer's sister."

……

"[Yokohama K-Arena suddenly lost power due to thunderstorms][A minute of miracle][Was it improvisation or a performance?]

[Starlight Gauze Skirt][The God of Idols Arrives][Starry Sky][Hoshino Ai Decides to Appear in TGC]…”

Looking at the tweets and topics that kept refreshing on her phone, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but marvel at the influence and attention of this Live event.

"Because of Chuhua's surprise announcement, the online discussion about this live event has completely exploded."

On the other hand, Wakaba Mu, who was still browsing tweets, saw a name that caught his attention.

"Nyanmu-kun...I remember she was the video blogger that Chihaya-san and Aine-san mentioned wanting to collaborate with."

Thinking of this, she immediately clicked on the blogger's profile picture and took a look at her recent tweets.

As expected, the video blogger’s recent tweets are all about this Live.

【Ai-chan is so cute! Chuhua is so pretty too! 】

[Was that an accident? Or was it planned? What's with that skirt? Why is it glowing? I really want to try it on!]

"Summer Zodiac" is so powerful!

"...I can't tell if this is just business or if they're being sincere."

Because they were all unoriginal compliments and exclamations, Ruo Yemu had no way of judging the true thoughts of this Miao Mengqin.

But then, when she saw the video push below before the Live, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned -

"Drum practice video?"

Out of curiosity, Ruo Yemu clicked directly on this practice video.

Then, she was immediately attracted by the content of the video:

"Is it a professional habit? It seems like a rather ostentatious playing style..."

Whether it is the flower stick movements interspersed in the performance or the very deliberate body rhythms, her playing style is set off very gorgeous and special.

What surprised Wakaba Mu even more was that although she incorporated many small movements and designs that could cause distraction during the performance, the quality of her performance was not greatly affected.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of her careful arrangement that this originally monotonous daily practice becomes so eye-catching.

"If it's a commercial band... maybe this kind of talent is exactly what they need."

Wakaba Mutsu muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Just as she pressed the share button on the video, preparing to let Xiangzi watch this somewhat interesting practice video, a new tweet notification instantly caught her attention.

The next second, when Ruoye Mu actually saw the content of the tweet, she blinked in surprise:

I really want to collaborate with "Summer Zodiac"! Well, I'm just saying it~

"what."

For a moment, some unrelated things in Ruo Yemu's mind were connected together.

The business of [Starry Sky], the collaboration between [Summer Zodiac] and Miaomengqin, the fancy drummer, the formation of [AveMujica]...

“…Xiangzi.”

She stood up, walked to Toyokawa Shoko's side, and said to her with a curious look on her face:

"I may have found the perfect 'drummer' for us."

Chapter 41 Dangerous Growth.

"Thank you for saving me, Chuhua."

The first words that Hoshino Ai said after leaving the stage were to express her gratitude to Sankaku Hatsuka for her timely appearance.

"Without you, the atmosphere of this live show would definitely be cut short."

"……seriously?"

Compared with Hoshino Ai's frankness, Sankaku Hatsuka, who was being thanked, instead showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"I thought the first thing you would do when you came down here would be to settle the score with me..."

"why?"

"Because I announced the contract with Mr. Tetsuya before you did."

Sanjiao Chuhua said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Don't you hate it most that others interfere with the relationship between you and him?"

"My hosting skills aren't as good as yours, so it's only right for you to deliver the presentation. And besides stalling for on-site adjustments, you're also doing this to counterattack [NozAK!] who's trying to capitalize on the hype."

"Bar?"

Hoshino Ai shook her head.

"Even putting all that aside, given the atmosphere just now, if it were me making the announcement, Zhe and his brand would definitely be targeted by my overly excited and extreme fans."

"what……"

Sanjiao Chuhua's expression became even more shocked than before.

This calm yet far-sighted statement was completely contrary to her impression of Hoshino Ai as a "love biker gang".

"Wait, I'm really a little scared. Are you really in love? Or were you suddenly possessed by some strange creature during the power outage just now?!"

"Don't look down on me. I've always been aware of the various situations that might arise from my actions! It's just that I never cared about them before."

Facing Sanjiao Chuhua's reaction, Hoshino Ai couldn't help but snort:

"As for now, since Zhe needs my influence and popularity as an idol, then taking care of the fans' feelings is of course my job."

"In the end, it's all for Mr. Tetsuya."

After hearing this reason, Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"That's great, you're still the same Hoshino Ai I knew."

Just as Sanjiao Chuhua was caressing her chest and feeling relieved that nothing had changed, Hoshino Ai's next words once again made her look dumbfounded:

"And... after this live performance, I do understand their thinking better than before."

Hoshino Ai turned around and looked towards the stage and said:

"What they're staring at isn't actually me, but the lie I carefully crafted for Zhe. Plus, this dress Zhe made for me... well, it might sound a little strange, but I feel like both of our efforts have been recognized. So, I don't mind using this illusion to maintain their inner longings and wishes."

Having said this, she paused for a moment, then immediately put on an expression as if she had thought of something:

"Eh? Wait, this is something we created together. If we have children in the future, I should have a similar mindset, right? Wow, just thinking about our children being praised by everyone makes me feel so accomplished! Yeah, it's decided. I really want to have Zhe's child—"

"Eh eh eh..."

While feeling that the other party was still the same Hoshino Ai, Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this explosive statement.

"Wait a minute, Ai, you just said that Mr. Tetsuya needs your idol status, right? Don't forget what you said so quickly!"

"But giving birth shouldn't take that long, right? You can just carry on as normal for the first few months, and then once your belly gets bigger, you can take a break for a few months under the pretext of recuperating."

"You're taking having children too lightly, aren't you?! And for idols, suspending activities is a taboo that can lead to a drop in popularity!"

"Eh... is that so?"

"That's it!"

Mikado Hatsuka grabbed Hoshino Ai's arm in fear:

"Listen up, Ai, your performance at this live was absolutely perfect. If you keep this up, both StarrySky and Tetsuya-san will definitely become more and more dependent on you, so don't rush into anything! Regarding children... well, I'm not going to advise you to wait until you officially start dating him before considering it, but at least wait until you decide to graduate from your idol group!"

"Yeah, that's it."

The next second, the agent's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

"If you really want to do more for Chihaya Tetsuya, then you should promote him while you're still a popular idol. As for the child, leave it until after graduation. Not only will you have more time to take care of the child, but you can also use this 'responsibility' that he can't refuse to completely solidify your relationship."

"..."

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying:

"That's true. Then... Chuhua."

"kindness?"

"You've probably decided to 'help' Zhe in the same way I did, right?"

"……kindness."

In response to Hoshino Ai's pointed question, Sankaku Hatsuka nodded.

"It was he who made me and the person I'd always admired become true companions, and it was he who made me truly a 'sky full of stars' on the stage. I want to repay this kindness, and at the same time, I also want to forge a more lasting bond with him, just like you and Xiangzi did."

"Really? That's how it is."

Faced with Sanjiao Chuhua's speech that was like a "declaration of war", Hoshino Ai was not surprised at all.

"Ever since you first tried to stop Zhe and I from meeting, I'd sensed this day was coming. Zhe already has several suitors, so it doesn't matter if you're one more. So, let's work hard together..."
