Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　"Won't we know tomorrow? Senior Xian Juanxin invited us to go together, so we can just go and take a look then."

　"Will there be any danger..."

　When it comes to monsters, Aine is most concerned about the danger of the monsters themselves, but others don't think so. Human curiosity always leads people into dangerous situations.

　"It shouldn't be dangerous. If it were, Senior Genmaki wouldn't have invited us to visit."

　"Is that right?"

　Chihaya Aine was a little worried, so she decided to go with him tomorrow just in case.

　Soon it was the turn of the M78 band members to conduct the audition rehearsal. Aiyin and the others had received very good training before, so the audition rehearsal went very smoothly and the preparations were completed early.

　And as usual, Shoko Toyokawa left without any other matters related to the band, with no intention of getting along well with the band members.

　"Really? That woman Toyokawa Shoko, what on earth is she doing?"

　Li Xi was very dissatisfied. Deng wanted to speak up and say a few words to persuade her, but found that she didn't know what to say.

　"Come to think of it, we haven't even tried on our costumes yet."

　Chihaya Aine suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten something, and Riki couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

　"Have we prepared any costumes for the performance? Don't fantasize about things that don't exist, okay?"

　"The firm has made preparations, right? You don't think we need to prepare for something like this ourselves, do you?"

　"Is that so? Wait... I didn't remember measuring myself, did I?"

　"With professional tools, there's no need to use a ruler."

　Modern technology is very advanced. To measure the size of clothes, you can download a special program on your tablet and take a photo. The resulting size data is more accurate than measuring with a ruler.

　"The performance costumes prepared by the agency? I hope it's not something weird, otherwise I'd rather wear my school uniform on stage.

　Go to the show."

　"Oh? Li Xi, are you actually worried about such a thing?"

　"If it's a uniform like Afterglow, I have no problem with it, but if it's a uniform like PasPale, well... you might as well kill me."

　Afterglow, the performance costume of the Sunset Red band, is a handsome and popular style group uniform.

　As an idol girl band, PasPale's group uniforms are the kind of cute and kawaii idol performance uniforms.

　If you want Lixi to wear this style of group uniform, I guess even putting a knife to her neck wouldn't be enough to force her to do it.

　"Hey~ What's wrong with PasPale's group uniforms? They're so cute! I actually wish our performance costumes were the same as PasPale's."

　"Chihaya Aine, it seems like you and I just don't get along!"

　The new crisis of the band was actually caused by the difference in aesthetic views on performance costumes. This is something that cannot be compromised in a lifetime. Li Xi is going to gamble with his dignity as a drummer.

　"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow to show off our skills!"

　It was M78 band’s first live performance, and it was impossible for Aine to say that she wasn’t nervous. It felt even more nerve-wracking than transforming into Ultraman to fight monsters.

　Time quickly came to the next day. Today was the weekend and the students had no classes to attend, so it was a good time to hold a live performance.

　RING opened early in the morning to conduct final soundcheck preparations for the live performance, and Chihaya Aine and the others also arrived at the RING backstage early and gathered in the band's lounge room.

　"Where are the regimental uniforms? Why haven't they been delivered yet?"

　Although it was still early for the live performance, Chihaya Aine was a little worried because the promised performance clothes had not been delivered yet.

　Not long after, the door of their lounge room was pushed open and a grinning alien appeared.

　"Sorry everyone, I accidentally overslept. I'm bringing your costumes now."

　"you are?"

　Seeing someone she didn't recognize appear, Toyokawa Shoko was a little confused, and Chihaya Aine quickly introduced her.

　"She's a new employee at the agency and also our band's manager."

　"Hello, you can call me Xiaomei, or Meimei."

　The Metron alien didn't give herself an Earthling name like Mephilas did. She simply used the simplified name of her alien self. No one would care anyway.

　"Hello, Miss Meimei, I'm Toyokawa Shoko."

　Polite Xiaoxiang is temporarily online. In fact, Toyokawa Xiangzi is usually very polite and has the upbringing of a young lady. Just don't touch her pain points for no reason.

　"You are Toyokawa Shoko?"

　Metron looked at Toyokawa Shoko with a very interesting look. This must be the Xiaoxiang that Su Shi mentioned. She should be a very interesting woman~ Hehehe.

　Volume 1: 43. Monster Girls, Move Out!

　Wake up, members of the M78 band, the people from Metron have sent your performance costumes.

　"This, this, this... Is this a monster?!"

　When seeing the performance costume sent by Metron, Shiina Riki was so surprised that he was speechless. It was more like a strange COS costume than a performance costume.

　Some of the monster's characteristics are made into clothing, perfectly combined with the performance costumes, which looks both cute and handsome. However, it would be more appropriate to call it a monster girl rather than a monster.

　"Awesome! So cool!!"

　Takamatsu Deng was in the lounge with the M78 band, and her eyes were full of stars. This kind of performance costume was the band uniform of her dreams.

　"You actually like the lamp so much?"

　Shiina Riki was very surprised, so she immediately constructed a formula in her head: Deng liked this kind of performance costume, and if she wore the performance costume, it would mean that she was liked by Deng, so Riki made a decision immediately, just wear it!

　"Let me see, there are also performance costume settings?"

　The thoughtful Mefilas also prepared performance costume information and settings for everyone in the M78 band.

　"My costume is, the Space Dinosaur Jetton?"

　Seeing the uniform Mefilas had carefully prepared for her, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but feel goosebumps when she read out the name. What a strange feeling? A chilling feeling.

　"Lenna's is the ancient monster, Gomora."

　"Wait? Can you wear this kind of costume on stage?!"

　Aside from the monster-like design of the hands and feet, isn't the outfit completely a "Sakusui"? That Mefilas guy is a pervert!

　When Chihaya Aine was considering whether to call the police to arrest the perverted alien, Lenai had already gone to the room to change into her performance clothes. After a while, Gomora-san showed up.

　"so cute!"

　Chihaya Aine was instantly overwhelmed by Gomora-san Lenai. Is this child so cute?

　"Great, let me take some pictures."

　Even the usually introverted Takamatsu Deng

　, and excitedly picked up the phone to take pictures. The M78 band is really great.

　"Fingers, do they feel weird?"

　She tried to clench her palms. Lenai's group uniform was designed with the claws of the monster Gomora. She picked up her guitar thoughtfully and gave an impromptu performance without using a pick. The performance turned out to be quite good.

　"That's amazing! You've even considered this aspect?"

　While Chihaya Aine was surprised, she looked at the performance costumes of the other three people.

　"Li Xi is, the Imperial Starman?"

　Different from the monster girls settings of Aine and the others, Riki's is set as an alien, an imperial alien with crayfish claws, and is set as an arrogant, strong-limbed, simple-minded warrior.

　"This is a deliberate attempt to slander me!"

　Li Xi gnashed her teeth. What was a strong-limbed but simple-minded warrior? Was she such a person?

　"Isn't it good?"

　Hailing said casually that because her performance costume was very similar to Lixi's couple's costume, and she was also a Baltan with crayfish claws, the two of them were a pair.

　"The last one is Shoko's... giant monster of the universe, Bemundstein."

　The bird-like monster hat and the cloak and haori covering the entire body look like bird feathers.

　"But this costume is designed to expose your belly button. Is that okay with you, Xiaoxiang?"

　"So be it."

　Shoko Toyokawa went to change her performance clothes with an expressionless face. After all, since she joined Tsuburaya Agency, she had a premonition that she could not escape the fate of dancing and singing like an idol.

　After a while, all the members of the M78 band changed into their performance costumes. While everyone was looking at themselves and their teammates, Takamatsu Deng was taking pictures frantically with his mobile phone. What a happy moment!

　"By the way, Chihaya Aine, have your breasts gotten bigger?"

　"Eh?!"

　Chihaya Aine noticed that her performance costume of the space dinosaur Jetton had two large yellow light bulbs on the chest, which better made up for the shortcomings of her figure.

　At this moment, Aine showed her little fangs fiercely, hugged her chest tightly and said the same words as Li Xi.

　"Huh? Don't slander me!"

　"Haha! You deserve this day, too."

　Li Xi, who was gloating, felt that as long as he was not the only one treated like this, he would be able to accept it immediately.

　"Everyone in the M78 band, it's time for your final soundcheck."

　"Wow? This is your performance costume, so cool!"

　When Toyama Kasumi walked into the band's lounge, her eyes lit up when she saw Aine and the others. Bang Gaozu had to get close to everyone immediately. The juniors were so cute that it was unbearable.

　All in all, although the performance costumes of the M78 band are a bit strange, their cuteness and handsomeness completely make up for most of the problems. Just wear them in Tata style!

　After completing the final sound check preparations, Chihaya Aine and the others can wait in the lounge until the Live begins and it is their band's turn to perform on stage.

　At this time, Toyokawa Shoko's cell phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw the message sent by Mu. Her face suddenly became a little ugly.

　Aine was a little thoughtful when she saw this scene. Maybe it was because Nagasaki Motoyo and Wakaba Mutsu came. It seemed that Toyokawa Shoko was still very resistant to the old members of CRYCHIC, even though she could get along well with Deng and Riki for the time being.

　"Deng, can you do me a favor?"

　Thinking of this, Aine called out to the mascot Takamatsu Deng in the lounge. Although she was not a member of the M78 band, Deng had been participating in activities with everyone, and they had already assumed she was a member of the band. Wouldn't it be better to just treat her as a mascot?

　"Aine, what's going on?"

　“This way…”

　Aine whispered something into Takamatsu Deng's ear. Deng nodded and immediately left the lounge and ran out.

　"What is the lamp going to do?"

　Li Xi was a little surprised to see this scene, and Aiyin turned her head away and said casually.

　"Nothing, just going to get us some snacks and drinks."

　"You guy, don't use the lamp as a tool to run errands. If you want to eat, go get it yourself!"

　"What does it matter? The lamp has nothing to do anyway."

　"Tsk...Chihaya Aine, I'm going to severely correct you!"

　The band lounge was noisy, and Takamatsu Deng jogged to the outside of the RING store. Nagasaki Suyo and Wakaba Mutsu had already come together and were waiting outside for the live performance to begin.

　"Little Light?!"

　Seeing the light coming out from inside, Su Shi's eyes lit up and she quickly waved to her.

　"Xiaoxiang is in there, right?"

　"Xiaoxiang is inside, but..."

　Deng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out what Aine had told her to the two people in front of her.

　"Xiao Xiang is very scared right now. If you don't want anything to go wrong during the performance, it's best to hide a little while you're watching the live performance so she doesn't see you."

　"Why?! Why doesn't Xiaoxiang want to see us?!"

　The woman Nagasaki Suyo was about to start to unfold her gravity again, fortunately Xiaomu pulled her sleeve at this time.

　"Huh... I understand, Xiaomu. As long as it's for Xiaoxiang, I'm willing to do anything."

　Unable to let Xiaoxiang escape from her sight any longer, Nagasaki Suyo decided to suppress her impulse, follow Takamatsu Deng's advice, and stand in the backstage with Xiaomu to watch the live performance.

　Volume 1: 44. Let's perform live

　The feeling of performing a live performance for the first time was nervous. Even though she had held a live performance during CRYCHIC, Shiina Riki still felt nervous and uneasy.
