Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

As the audience gradually became intoxicated by the sound waves, Hiroi's voice gradually became seductive, like a pair of gentle but dangerous hands, hooking your collar and pulling you into a dangerous world where alcohol and musical notes are intertwined.

When the music reached its climax, she plucked the bass suddenly, and the strings emitted a dull yet explosive echo, and the whole stage seemed to be ignited in an instant.

Her singing also changed from a whisper to a shout, full of indulgence and freedom, like a vampire flying in the middle of the night, raising a gust of wind and carrying everyone towards the unknown darkness.

If I were to describe Sick Hack’s performance in one word, it would be – singing all night long.

This is not just a performance, but also a "drunken dream", which makes people fall into a swaying dream unknowingly, and the audience seems to be drunk and immersed in this atmosphere.

When the performance of [Sick Hack] ended and Kikuri Hiroi and the band members walked off the stage together, the audience in the audience was unable to recover for a long time.

The air still lingers with the lingering resonance of guitar and bass. The feeling of your soul being gently pulled out of your body and floating in the night breeze is unforgettable.

The same is true for everyone in the band [Extension Cord].

Chihaya Aine was the most shocked. It was not until Lupa beside her shook her gently a few times that she suddenly came to her senses, blinked her eyes, and opened her lips slightly, as if she had not yet fully found her voice.

"Senior Hiroi, this is too amazing..."

After a long while, she finally spoke, her voice still filled with shock. "I didn't expect listening to their live performance would be like this. I almost want to become their die-hard fan!"

The training places of the two bands were separated by only a wall, and the members of the Extension Line Band often went to listen to Hiroi Kikuri and the others practice.

However, listening to the studio version and the live version are two completely different feelings.

The on-site sound amplification equipment makes the music more three-dimensional, the evening breeze brings a slight coolness, and the tranquility of the night sets off the intoxicating feeling of the music. All of this is intertwined together, as if constructing a dream independent of reality, allowing Aiyin to immerse herself in it, sway with it, and sink into it.

As the lights on the stage dimmed, Aine seemed to still hear the slightly drunken voice of Hiroi Kikuri.

Is it true that the taste of alcohol is so wonderful?

Aine felt like she was getting a bit too drunk and wanted to try some alcohol.

Chapter 174 Chihaya Aine wants to grow bigger.

Aine was curious about the taste of the wine, so she raised her head and asked Lupa beside her curiously.

"Lupa, what does alcohol taste like that makes you and Hiroi-senpai so attached to it?"

Among the five of them, only Lupa was an adult and had tasted alcohol.

Lupa was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly, saying with a hint of resignation, "Alcohol is bitter and not very pleasant to drink, but... it can help frustrated people temporarily escape reality and numb themselves."

"That sounds great..."

A glint of eagerness flashed in Aine's eyes, she also wanted to try the feeling of being out of touch with reality.

Lupa laughed and reached out to gently touch her forehead.

"Not at all. Compared to alcohol, I think 'honey' is more suitable for you, Aine. Eating sweets can also give people a similar wonderful feeling, and it can also bring a sense of happiness."

"sugar?"

Aine frowned. When she thought about herself becoming the fat "Tang Aine" image, she immediately shook her head repeatedly, "No, I don't want to eat too much sugar, otherwise I will get fat!"

Lupa couldn't help laughing, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Alcohol has the same effect. Drinking too much will also give you a small belly. So, Aine, you should drink more milk. Maybe it will help you grow taller."

Aine noticed Lupa's subtext, looked down at her own flat figure, and silently shed tears.

It's not like she wants to be like this. She has tried various methods to make herself bigger, but her figure remains unchanged. What should she do?

……

A few minutes later, it was finally the turn of the band [Extension Line] to perform.

Aine, Pochi, Meowth, Satoshi, and Lupa went backstage to prepare, with the support of Momoka and the others.

Although they had prepared themselves mentally, at this moment, standing at the entrance to the stage, everyone could not hide their nervousness.

Aine clenched her fists and could feel the sweat slightly seeping out of her palms.

Miao Meng's fingers unconsciously stroked the drumstick. Although Xiaozhi said nothing, her ears were slightly red, showing that she was not calm.

Hoshikawa Taku stood aside and saw the nervous expressions on each of their faces. He couldn't help but chuckle and said gently, "Relax, just treat it as a normal practice."

"I don't care how well you can sing, as long as everyone is not stage frightened and can sing both songs in full."

Hoshikawa Taku said this not to comfort them but to tell lies on purpose, he really meant it.

This time we participated in the open-air music festival because of a task issued by the system, but the task goal had nothing to do with the level of the band's performance, but only with "exposure".

[Mission Objective: Ensure the band's performance at the open-air music festival is a great success, and rank at least in the top three among all the bands participating in the festival.]

Taku Hoshikawa's preparations over the past few days have significantly increased the popularity of Guitar Hero and Meow Dream, and the amount of discussion on the Internet has far exceeded that of other bands.

Even if their performance is not good this time, thanks to Taku Hoshikawa's subsequent publicity and promotion strategy, they can ensure that their exposure will reach the top three.

But by then, there will be more unbearable negative comments online than praise.

Of course, the negative impact brought by black and red is inevitable, but black traffic is also traffic and can still bring sufficient discussion.

However, if possible, Taku Hoshikawa does not want them to make their debut by relying on black and red reputation.

He hopes that these five people can truly enjoy the music and the stage during this performance instead of being left with psychological trauma.

After hearing what Hoshikawa Taku said, Aine's nervousness eased a lot.

At this moment, Lupa also chuckled and reached out his hand, gently hugging everyone together.

"There's nothing to be nervous about. Just trust our efforts these days."

Her voice was soft and infectious. "Even Hiroi-senpai and others have recognized us, so we will also be recognized by the audience."

With Lupa's comfort, everyone's tension was significantly relieved. There seemed to be a healing aura around Lupa, which made people relax unconsciously.

In fact, this was not an illusion, but the hidden characteristic [Team Healer] that Lupa obtained after signing the contract was at work.

Team Healer: Rupa gains the ability to soothe her team. Her presence reassures them when they're nervous, anxious, or exhausted. Whether it's a rehearsal argument or pre-performance jitters, she can calm them down and keep them performing at their best.

The five people were able to get along harmoniously and hardly ever quarreled during practice, which was inseparable from the role of Lupa. She could be said to be the best assistant in regulating the atmosphere.

At this time, the executive director backstage also took the intercom and shouted loudly: "Extension Line Band, the previous band's performance is over, get ready to go on stage!"

The moment they heard the sound, everyone looked at each other, then tacitly crossed their hands, palms pressed tightly together, feeling the warmth of each other's palms.

"Everyone—come on!"

The five people raised their hands together.

After taking a deep breath and adjusting themselves, they walked towards the stage.

The night was dark, and the sound of the wind swirled across the empty field, carrying a damp, salty smell, heralding the coming storm.

Dark clouds quietly piled up above the night sky, swallowing up the sporadic moonlight. The air around became heavy, as if even breathing carried a restless electric current.

But at this moment, none of the audience paid attention to the natural hint of rain, because all their eyes were focused on the stage where the lights were flashing.

The crowd in the auditorium had already gathered into a restless ocean. With the warm-up performance of the previous bands, their emotions had already been pushed to the best state, and everyone was looking forward to the next performance.

At this moment, the first low hum of the sound test was heard on the stage - the band members came on stage one by one, and the lights focused in an instant!

"Guitar Hero—!"

"Meow Dream Kiss!!!"

Deafening cheers erupted from the audience; their enthusiasm almost ignited the air.

Although Aine, Xiaozhi and Lupa are still strangers to most people, many fans cheered when they saw the two "big internet celebrities" Guitar Hero and Meowth appear.

"Hello everyone, I'll give you a few meow meows. I'm Meow Dream!"

Miao Meng, sitting in front of the drum set, skillfully made a "cat fist" with both hands and swung it gently, looking as cute as a playful cat.

"This is my first time performing on stage as a drummer! If it weren't for Guitar Hero's invitation, I wouldn't have such a great opportunity!"

As she spoke, the stage lights suddenly dimmed, and then several beams of light crisscrossed from all directions and shone on "Guitar Hero".

The "Guitar Hero" didn't say anything, but just put his hands on the guitar and plucked it with his slender fingers - a series of extremely aggressive distorted preludes burst out!

The notes burst out like exploding sparks, leaving a hot tail in the air, shaking everyone's eardrums!

"Standing next to Guitar Hero is our lead singer - Aine!"

Miao Meng smiled and waved his hand, his tone exaggerated and dramatic, as if he was solemnly introducing some heavyweight character.

"In my video a few days ago, she appeared as my special guest, and the makeup she wore was exactly what I did back then. If you like this kind of stage makeup, you can try it out!"

Aine was not intimidated at all, and waved to the audience with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am the lead singer of [Extension Line] - Chihaya Aine!"

Aiyin's voice is clear and bright, with a confident and light feeling. Although her popularity on stage is not as high as Guitar Hero and Meow Dream, she is not at all stage-frightened.

However, compared to the cheers from the first two people, the cheers from the audience were obviously much smaller as soon as Aine's name was announced.

Aine noticed this and suddenly an idea struck her, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Do you think I look unfamiliar? Actually, I'm the last disciple of Hiroi Kikuri-senpai! In order to get her to teach me, I fed her a lot of alcohol and snacks!"

Aiyin, this isn't some impromptu lie.

In order to learn more singing skills from Hiroi, Aine adopted the "feeding tactic" and spent a lot of time on Hiroi.

Hiroi was a kind-hearted person and also taught Aine many singing techniques.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a master-disciple relationship, after all, Hiroi really accepted Aine's "tuition".

Chapter 175 Mygo? No need.

Originally, no one had much interest in Aine, but when they heard that she was Hiroi's "apprentice", everyone's curiosity was aroused.

Aine took the opportunity to throw out some interesting stories about her interactions with Hiroi - how she "bribed" her with alcohol, and how she was subjected to crazy "devil training" by her. In just a few words, the audience's interest was completely ignited.

She has successfully livened up the atmosphere.

Aine looked at the audience's reaction with satisfaction, and then struck while the iron was hot by introducing Satoshi and Lupa.

Then she took a deep breath, waved her hands suddenly, and shouted:

"Everyone, please enjoy our song next - "Life Will Change"!"

This song has spread all over the Internet. Many big V bloggers have covered it, and most of the music lovers in the audience have also heard this song.

Hearing the familiar sound, many people swayed unconsciously and even hummed along with the rhythm.

Aiyin is actually a "social cow". She was a little nervous at first, but when she saw the cooperative audience below the stage, she thought of herself when she was the student council president and gave a speech on the stage. Her emotions were also aroused.

Accompanied by the deep and fierce drum beats of Meow Dream, Aiyin held the microphone and sang the song she had practiced for two and a half weeks at the music festival!

Aiyin's voice was clear yet filled with uninhibited emotions. She held the microphone high, and almost immersed herself in the emotions of the song, waving her arms and driving everyone's emotions upward.

Pochi's fingers jumped quickly on the strings, and the distorted sound and synthesizer intertwined to create layers of progressive melody.

Lupa's bass is so deep and heavy that it makes people's hearts resonate with it.

Xiaozhi's electronic synthesizer sound has a psychedelic quality, which adds a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere to the whole song.

Everyone was completely immersed in the carnival. Taku Hoshikawa narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his fingers, and the stage lights instantly changed with the rhythm.

A strong red beam swept across the entire venue, creating a visual impact like a burning flame!

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Aine held the microphone high, her voice resonant, her entire being seemingly engulfed by the passionate atmosphere. She no longer held herself back, completely unleashing her student council president persona, as if she could dominate the entire room!

The audience was completely excited, everyone was immersed in this music frenzy, shouting and dancing to the rhythm, and some people even jumped to the front of the stage excitedly, waving their hands towards the stage!

The moment the first song ended, everyone was still excited, but the next second - the second song "Wake Up, GetUp, Get Out There" came on stage!

This was a brand new original song that no one had ever heard before, but the moment the prelude ended, the excitement in the audience suddenly stopped for a second, and then broke out into cheers even more enthusiastic than before!

Just then, a cold wind blew across the sky, thunder rumbled in the distance, and then fine raindrops began to fall.

The drizzle fell on the stage and on the shoulders of the audience, but no one left. Instead, everyone's spirits became even higher.

It seemed as if this rain came just for this performance!

Aiyin's singing became more wild in the rain, and her hair was wet by the rain, but she didn't care. Instead, she sang more and more wildly, and her whole body seemed to be on fire!

“Let Your Voices Ring Out Yeah”

“Take The Mask Off And Be Free”

“Find Yourself In The Debris”

“If You Hold On Life Won’t Change…!”
