Does gravity make me stronger?

As school was about to end in the afternoon, this nameless anxiety intensified to a very serious degree.

Noticing all this, Aine couldn't help but ask, "Hachiman, your eyes look unusually rotten today. Did something happen?"

"Hey, that first sentence was completely unnecessary," Hachiman said, suppressing his impatience.

Aine stuck out her pink tongue: "Sorry, but I think Hachiman's dead fish eyes are your unique feature, the kind that's super rare."

Is this a compliment?

"Yes, Hachiman is usually so calm, he should maintain his composure now."

"...Thank you."

Although Aine's words of comfort were somewhat puzzling, Hachiman did feel much calmer thanks to her.

Okay, he admits he was a bit impatient, even though he was able to stay calm when Mygo and the End Band came on stage.

"Ring ring!"

The school bell finally rang, and Hachiman packed his bag and quickly went to the record store.

Sawamura Kaze was already waiting inside the clubhouse. After their meeting, the two took a taxi directly to the theater.

This was the first time Hachiman had ever seen the National Theatre in Tokyo. He had no interest in musicals and had never even been to a theatre in Chiba.

This time, it was actually through Xiangzi that I came into contact with new things.

People were coming and going outside the theater, and they all seemed to be guests coming to watch the evening performance.

At the entrance, there was a notice board displaying the performances for each evening, with silhouettes of different performers. After searching for a while, I quickly found the location of "AveMujica".

"The center position!"

Sawamura Kaze crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in amazement, while Hachiman echoed in surprise, "Shoko's band is actually the biggest name in the whole place?"

"Xiangzi?"

Sawamura looked at him suspiciously for a while, while Hachiman felt his face getting hotter and deliberately avoided looking at him.

"Minister, let's go inside."

"Row."

The theater's interior is very spacious, with an oval, sunken layout that offers a good view even from the very back.

There were already quite a few audience members seated in the center of the rows of seats. Hachiman looked around and didn't see any socialites in formal attire, but rather mostly young people in loose T-shirts.

That makes sense, since the main characters are an idol girl band, making things too grand would ruin the atmosphere.

Hachiman didn't quite understand AveMujica's operational logic. It was supposed to be an idol band project, but they chose to debut and perform in such a formal setting, even though the audience was mostly young people.

Something feels off.

Perhaps they're working on something new?

With that in mind, Hachiman found their seats.

The central area of ​​the fifth row is almost the most desirable spot, and it seems that Xiangzi put a lot of thought into finding these two seats for them.

Once seated, the two began to wait patiently for the performance to begin.

About five minutes later.

The bright lights suddenly went out, and a spotlight shone vertically down on the stage. In the silent stillness, a beautiful voice drifted from afar.

"Alas, my love, you do me wrong"

A blonde girl appeared eerily in the spotlight, and above her head was a crescent moon.

It is the initial bloom of the triangle.

Despite wearing an inexplicable black lace mask, her delicate face was easily recognizable.

She sang a few lines a cappella, and then two young women in red dresses appeared on the other side of the stage.

Hachiman's gaze was instantly drawn to one of them.

"Xiangzi..."

Under the spotlight, Xiangzi's originally sky-blue hair looked even more beautiful, shimmering with a faint fluorescent glow.

Hachiman held his breath instantly.

On Xiangzi's face is a mask that is almost identical to that of Sanjiao Chuhua, except that one mask covers the right half of his face and the other mask covers the left half of his face.

The three of them were talking about the masquerade ball, and surprisingly, it was actually quite interesting.

"puff..."

Sawamura Kaze couldn't help but chuckle.

"Minister, is it really that funny?"

"Don't you think it's quite a contrast that the usually serious Xiangzi is now performing in a play on stage?"

"That's true..."

If it weren't for Sawamura Kaze's reminder, Hachiman would have forgotten about Shoko's state of mind backstage.

The role Xiangzi plays this time seems to be the guide for the main character in the play, and also the one with the most lines.

At this moment, the lights shifted, and the scene changed to the next one.

Two more unfamiliar women appeared on the stage.

Hachiman rested his chin on his hand, observing carefully, but when he thought about what Sawamura Kaze had just said, his stomach started to itch a little.

"The atmosphere was completely ruined..." he complained.

"I'm sorry, but it was really funny." Due to the etiquette of watching a performance, Sawamura Kaze tried his best to suppress his laughter so as not to affect others.

"Come on, before the masquerade ball begins, I'll give you temporary names!"

Xiangzi's shouts opened the curtain on the formal performance. On the stage, the five people stood in front of their respective instruments.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak at this moment.

A moment of silent farewell.

suddenly!

A psychedelic electronic keyboard rang out all around, and Hachiman instantly got goosebumps.

"So strong!"

That was his first impression.

Having worked at the Starlight Concert Hall for so long, this was the first time he had ever heard such rich and layered piano music.

Although there are professional bands performing in the concert hall, the difference is still evident compared to AveMujica.

"This is way beyond the level of a high school student!"

Similarly, Sawamura Kaze also keenly sensed AveMujica's true strength, instantly abandoning his previous smile and becoming serious.

On stage, everyone played their parts methodically, with a powerful and tight rhythm, without a single superfluous note.

“AveMusica~”

Shoko stood proudly behind the electronic keyboard, his seemingly disdainful gaze making Hachiman feel both unfamiliar and captivated.

Their eyes met the moment the chorus began.

Xiangzi's lips curled up slightly and moved slightly.

Although I couldn't hear what she was saying, her thoughts were transmitted to me without any hindrance.

Some audience members noticed Xiangzi's actions and thought he was teasing them.

She's smiling at me!

"Sister, I'm in!"

"AveMujica!!!"

In his seat, Sawamura Kaze was also stirred up and couldn't help but cheer.

"Hachiman, can't you be a little more excited? This is the first performance of a professional band!"

Sawamura kept patting Hachiman's shoulder, but the latter remained motionless, his face quickly turning red in the dim light.

Xiangzi's heartfelt words kept echoing in his ears—"My love, today's performance is only for you."

Chapter 210, Section 207: Xiangzi's Small Goal

Theater dressing room.

The members of AveMujica are in front of their respective cabinets.

The lingering effects of the first performance had not completely faded; Xiangzi's face was flushed, and he was extremely excited.

She gripped her right wrist with her left hand, taking deep breaths to calm herself.

"Are you alright?" Misaka Chuka walked over with concern in her voice.

"It's nothing." Xiangzi shook his head, forcibly suppressing his overflowing emotions.

"Xiangzi, you did a great job."

The corners of Chu Hua's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, exuding charm. Her purplish-red pupils were like a bottomless abyss, making Chu Hua dizzy and almost causing her to fall into them.

Little sister, you smell so good...

Seeing that Xiangzi's breathing had calmed down, Sanjiao Chuhua returned to her seat with peace of mind.

Xiangzi opened the cabinet, using the door to cover his upper body, and then slowly unzipped the back of his body, revealing inch by inch his snow-white skin.

A sky-blue halter top hung from her shoulder, and looking down, the curves outlined by her bra were just right.

Xiangzi took off his dress from his waist down, then neatly folded it and put it in the closet.

"Hey everyone, come look! We've surpassed 100,000 followers!"

Wearing only a purple bra, Yutenji Wakana didn't seem to mind the cold. Her skin was incredibly fair, and she sat on a chair with her beautiful legs crossed, waving her phone in the air.

Glancing at Yutenji Wakana's unseemly appearance, Xiangzi snorted, "Miss Yutenji, please calm down, this is just the beginning."

She slowly took out a base layer top and said without changing her expression, "Our goal is 1 million followers. If we are surprised by a mere 100,000 followers, then we are making a mountain out of a molehill."

"100 million followers!?" Yutenji Wakana covered her mouth in surprise.

Is Zun Du fake Du?

She is a YouTuber herself, so she knows how difficult it is to have a perfect fanbase.

Keep in mind that Japan's total population is just over 100 million, so one million followers means that one in a hundred people follows AveMujica.

This level of value is no joke.

In reality, in the music industry, bands with tens of thousands of fans are considered to be doing quite well; most professional bands only manage to have a few thousand fans by the time they die.

Bands with hundreds of thousands of fans can basically do whatever they want in China, and if they have millions of fans, they are national-level groups.

Even someone as successful as SUMIMI only has around 100,000 followers.

"Xiangzi-chan, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious at such a young age."

Yutenji Wakamai slightly raised her cherry lips, smiled wickedly, and looked at Xiangzi's smooth and flawless back with a playful expression.

It would be a complete waste not to get a back massage.

The next second, Xiangzi put on an undershirt, instantly covering a large area of ​​his snow-white skin. He turned to face Youtianji Ruomai, and the expression on his face was not at all like he was joking.

"With our current roster, don't you have any confidence?"

"Oh?" Yutenji Wakana raised an eyebrow.

Yutenji Wakana: Are young people this arrogant?

Xiangzi: If young people aren't wild, what kind of young people are they?

Although Yutenji Wakamai found it unbelievable, Shoko was full of confidence.

Apart from Hachiman Kairin, every musician in AveMujica, including the lead singer, is not only technically skilled but also has a large following.

With former SUMIMI member Mitsumi Hatsuka, YouTuber Da Meng, and celebrity offspring Ruoye Mutsu, this galactic battleship has the potential to attract 100 million fans.

If it works well.
