Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

"That's right!"

Kikuri Hiroi winked at her teammates, rushed back to the rehearsal room, picked up a spare small speaker and carried it onto the stage. Her movements were so quick and agile that people suspected that she was not drunk at all when she got up from her seat just now.

She turned up the volume of the speaker to the highest level and plucked the bass strings violently. Although the sound was distorted and noisy, it revealed a primitive passion and tension.

She shouted, "Rejoice, you are about to witness a purely impromptu live show!"

The place exploded immediately, rock fans loved this kind of chaos.

Someone cheered, "Great! This is a real live performance! The original sound is more flavorful!"

Hiroi Kikuri's impromptu performance quickly ignited the atmosphere on the scene, and although her teammates looked helpless, they had no choice but to join in.

The power of the speakers was still too small. Hiroi found that the sound could not reach the ears of the audience in the back row, so he simply walked off the stage with the speakers and stood in the center of the audience.

She seemed to be singing on the street, interacting with the audience at close range, and the atmosphere instantly changed from the embarrassment of a performance accident to a lively interactive show.

"Pochi, you guys come too!"

Hiroi Kikuri walked through the crowd, came to Pochi's side, and urged him, "Now is your time to perform!"

Before Pochi could move, Yamada Ryo had already taken out his bass and started playing, echoing with Hiroi Kikuri.

"That's right! That's the attitude we want!" Hiroi gave Yamada Ryo a thumbs-up, smiling brightly. "This is rock 'n' roll! This is partying!"

It was clearly her fault that caused this consequence, but she accepted it calmly and treated it as a party.

Seeing that his teammates were infected and joined in, Pochi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to play the guitar.

Anyway, it’s so dark now, it’s no different from singing in bed!

Kita was also infected and started playing his guitar.

Some band members who had not left here also joined in.

Although everyone's melody is different and even sounds a bit confusing, there is a unique sense of harmony in this disharmony, like a rock carnival.

Only Hongxia and Xiangzi were unable to participate in the party because they had to use fixed musical instruments.

"There's no other way. Let us two refund the guests' tickets. Really...how could such a good performance turn out like this..." Hong Xia sighed.

Xiangzi said the same thing.

However, even though they complained, they had smiles on their faces.

They also enjoyed the carnival atmosphere.

It’s rock and roll.

------

At the same time, on the other side, Taku Hoshikawa was doing maintenance work.

The [Lighting Design Master] skill bestowed upon him by the system came in handy at this moment.

After turning off the main power switch, he used tools to pry open the junction box and checked it, quickly troubleshooting the problem.

Just as he had judged, the wires in the junction box were short-circuited due to the intrusion of alcohol, the fuse burned out, and some components showed signs of burning.

The damage was not serious and power could be restored by replacing the blown fuse and damaged wiring.

The sound engineer beside him was a little surprised to see Taku Hoshikawa skillfully take out spare parts and replace them.

"Mr. Xingchuan, I didn't expect you could actually repair these things. I thought you were just bragging."

Hoshikawa Taku kept working and said with a smile: "I'm not bragging. I used to be a lighting technician, and fixing these things is a daily operation."

"Really?" the sound engineer suddenly became interested. "Do you have experience operating the lighting for large concerts?"

"Of course." Hoshikawa Taku said confidently.

Since the system instilled his experience, it seemed as if he had twenty years of professional accumulation in his mind.

He can really say when applying for a job that although he is only 24 years old, he has 20 years of work experience.

When the sound engineer heard this, he immediately became excited.

"Well, I have a friend who is the director of a concert. The lighting technician he previously worked with was poached, and he's in need of an experienced lighting technician. Are you free to work with him?"

"What concert? When?" Hoshikawa Taku asked casually while changing the fuse.

"It's a concert by the popular girl group [Sumimi] next weekend!"

Hearing her words, Hoshikawa Takumi's hands slowed down unconsciously.

"sumimi"... Is this a combination of Mikado Hatsuka?

I didn't expect to hear her name here.

"Sure, I have time." Taku Hoshikawa agreed without hesitation.

Mikado Chuhua is an artist whom he is determined to poach. Hoshikawa Takumoto wanted to rely on Xiangzi's relationship to meet her, and now that there is another opportunity, he naturally will not miss it.

While he was talking, he didn't stop working with his hands.

After repairing the stage junction box, Taku Hoshikawa returned to the main power switch and reclosed it.

With a crisp "click", the power was restored, the stage lights came on again, the speakers emitted a low hum and then ran smoothly, and the entire stage returned to normal.

"Great, the lighting is fixed!"

Kikuri Hiroi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the stage light up again.

If all the lighting and sound equipment were damaged, she would have to be sold to compensate for the damage.

Hiroi Kikuri was happy, but Ijichi Hoshika's face was still ugly at this moment.

When Hoshikawa Taku and the sound engineer returned to the venue, Ijichi Hoshika said in a serious tone, "There's some bad news."

"While you were doing maintenance, the band that was scheduled to perform last felt that the stage couldn't be restored today, and they wanted to reschedule their performance for tomorrow."

"It's understandable." Hoshikawa Taku understood very well.

Because of Hiroi Kikuri, a lot of customers were lost, which had a great impact on their performances.

From any perspective, there is no reason to stay here and wait.

"Do you agree?"

"Just five minutes ago, I agreed, and they've left now."

Ichichi Xingge covered her head in frustration. "If I had known you could fix the stage so quickly, I would have stopped them from leaving. Now there are no other bands on the stage..."

Hoshikawa Taku said it took half an hour, but it actually only took fifteen minutes.

Just a few songs.

She agreed too quickly. The band had already left. What should she do next? Should she let Hiroi Kikuri and the others continue singing?

Or should we let the audience who have been waiting for a long time go away?

Taku Hoshikawa glanced at the audience in the venue, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, there's another band that can come on stage."

"Which band?"

"[End the band]." Hoshikawa Taku said with a smile, "Since there's no one else on the field, let them finish it."

Chapter 26 Xiangzi's Lace Mask

"Us? Bring our appearance forward to today?"

When Ijichi Hoshige suggested that they go on stage, the girls were caught off guard.

Their stage performance is tomorrow, and they are staying here tonight just to be waiters and an audience member watching the performance of their seniors.

They had no idea that they would suddenly be pushed to the center of the stage and become the final spotlight band.

Ijichi Hoshige looked at their surprised expressions, crossed his arms and said seriously:

"I know you are not fully prepared yet, but the stage does not belong to those who are fully prepared, but to those who can seize the opportunity. Now you have such an opportunity."

"Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you feel you are not suitable and don't want to take the risk, then the next stage will continue to be handed over to Hiroi Kikuri and others."

She looked around at the girls, paused for a moment, and added:

"You know, according to my arrangement, you will be the first to perform tomorrow. The audience at that time will be far less enthusiastic than it is now, and the number of people will be smaller."

"The atmosphere in the venue is already heated up, and the audience's expectations are at their highest point. If you want to shine and catch the audience's attention, now is the best time."

As the captain of the band, Hong Xia looked a little confused.

"...Let's discuss this!"

She pulled Xiangzi, Pochi and others aside to discuss the matter.

"How do you feel? Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity?"

"It doesn't matter." Yamada Ryo still looked indifferent, and said calmly, "It doesn't matter to me when I go on stage."

Xiangzi smiled and said, "Me too. I can do it anytime. I'm always prepared anyway."

There was also a glint of eagerness in Kita's eyes.

"The atmosphere on stage is so good, I can actually fit in faster when I go on stage now. I think this is the perfect time!"

Her excitement infected everyone. Hong Xia nodded, and a hint of determination appeared on her face.

"I'm also inclined to take the stage now. After all, such opportunities don't come around often."

New bands like them usually take the lead as the "warm-up" band.

Popular bands will only take the stage after the atmosphere is heated up and the audience has arrived.

With their fame, if they want to have the last "closing performance" like they do now, they will have to wait at least one or two years.

All four agreed, and everyone turned their attention to Pochi, the only one who remained silent.

"...Can I go up there wearing a cardboard box?"

Pochi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and his face was full of confusion.

Xiangzi smiled slightly, walked over to her, patted her shoulder gently, and whispered comfortingly:

"Pochi, your impromptu performance backstage was really good. Just keep doing that and don't overthink it. You'll definitely be able to do well."

Surrounded by Xiangzi's gentle encouragement, Pochi hesitated, took a deep breath, and finally nodded.

"Okay...I agree too."

In fact, Bochi really wanted to refuse, but she was an "i person" and after the other teammates expressed their support, she really couldn't say no.

I just followed the crowd and agreed.

"Great!" Hong Xia clenched her fists and turned to Yidizhi Xingge and said, "Sister, we've decided! We want to go on stage now!"

Ichichi Xingge nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, hurry up and get backstage to get ready. The show will start in five minutes."

Xiangzi originally wanted to go backstage with them, but was suddenly stopped by Hoshikawa Taku.

"Xiangzi, wait a moment, wear this when you perform."

Taku Hoshikawa handed Xiangzi the lace mask he had prepared in advance.

"It's not appropriate for you to reveal your identity now. For this performance, you will be a masked musician."

Xiangzi was a little surprised, but still took the mask.

After the lights came on, Hiroi Kikuri and her group sang one of their signature songs to apologize to the audience.

After their performance, Ichichi Hoshige walked onto the stage, took the microphone and said:

"Sorry everyone, due to someone's fault, there was an incident on our site, but it has now been resolved.

However, due to time constraints, the last band's performance today was cancelled and has been rescheduled for tomorrow."

"The last band today will be a new band, and today will be their first performance."

"They are... [End Band]!"

New band...
