First performance (part one)

Brother Dawei felt that all the misfortunes he had encountered in the past twenty-odd years were to accumulate good fortune so that he could meet this girl.

Do you like this cute and beautiful girl?

If this beautiful girl came to your idol agency and asked to become an idol, and her requirements weren't high, what would you think?

This isn't just a pretty girl, she's an angel!

"... In conclusion, I don't have high demands for compensation, but in exchange, I have the right to cancel performances I don't like. Well, being an idol is just a hobby of mine, and sometimes I might have to miss performances because of my regular work. Is that acceptable?"

After hearing Xing state her conditions, Brother Dawei and his colleagues were moved to tears and said in unison, "No problem! Luming-chan can have whatever she wants!"

Upon hearing the name "Luming-chan," Sachi froze, then said with disgust, "How disgusting..."

Brother Dawei and others HP-999999999

Seeing that the black-haired youth seemed to have suffered a great shock, he tilted his head, seemingly puzzled.

"Luming Lady, please come over here for a singing audition. Don't worry, becoming an idol doesn't require much singing ability, just relax." A young man with a thick head of hair led the girl into a small room next door, while the others continued their discussion with the indifferent Natasha.

"Give me all the data about your firm, from basic facilities to cash flow, nothing can be missing, and hurry up," Natasha said in a commanding tone, her red eyes filled with coldness, exuding an aura that brooked no resistance.

"Yes, ma'am!" Brother Dawei and his colleagues were so startled they almost lost their minds. They quickly organized all the documents and respectfully handed them to Natasha.

The gray-haired, mature woman sat lazily on the sofa, legs crossed, quickly flipping through the pages, muttering under her breath, "Tsk, it really is a small studio. I wonder why the little guy came here..."

On the other side—

The girl put on the headphones, sat down as instructed, and looked at the microphone in front of her, feeling a little nervous.

"Relax, Luming Lady," the accompanying man said softly. "What song would you like to sing?"

"Hmm...this will do." Xing took out a USB drive and handed it to him. "Please play a song called 'Reburn' on it, and then give the USB drive back to me."

"Okay." The sound engineer stared at the USB drive in his hand, lost in thought. Her dress didn't seem to have any pockets, so where did she pull this out from? Did all beautiful girls have a Fourth-Dimensional Pocket?

After calming myself down and exchanging a glance with the sound engineer, my first audition began—

A light and rhythmic melody filled her ears. The girl took a deep breath, leaving all her worries behind. At this moment, all she needed to do was to immerse herself in the song and recreate the place where this dream began in this world.

[Whatever you say. You can't hold me back.]

[Rhythm chills the air. The fear leads to dance]

[Shatter the spiral before they leave undone]

[Here comes, howling tides. Put on the war paint!]

Lyrics (approximate meaning):

(No matter how much you try to persuade me, you cannot make me back down in the slightest.)

(The cold melody cuts through the air, and fear begins to run rampant.)

(The spiral-shaped object shattered and vanished before they left.)

(The roaring tide rushes forward, dressed in its finest attire)

"Hmm, her singing is pretty good, she has a good foundation, and she got into character very quickly. This time we really hit the jackpot." The sound engineer was extremely happy. More importantly, their idol, Xing, was super cute when she got into character!

Just as he was feeling smug about being able to enjoy the girl's beauty all to himself, he turned around casually and found that all his colleagues were peering out of the recording studio window, staring intently at him.

The programmer cried out, "Xiao Wang, why the hell did you lock the door? Miss Natasha almost killed us just now!"

"Ah..." Sound engineer Xiao Wang noticed the gray-haired mature woman staring coldly at him from outside the window, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Oh no, he had developed a habit of locking the door when he dressed up as a woman in the recording studio, and he had accidentally locked the door just now!

"Hmph, don't get any funny ideas. If I find out you dare to make a move on her, I guarantee you'll suffer a terrible fate." Natasha snorted coldly, released her grip on Brother Dawei's neck, and sat back down on the sofa to continue flipping through the documents.

Everyone wore a bitter expression. Was this an agent or a bodyguard? Was he an assassin before? He had such a strong presence!

Well, that's true.

Unaware of the tragedy outside, he continued to immerse himself in the world of music, imagining himself in the scene of "Reburn," fleeing from Arahanto's pursuit with Kiana, and his singing gradually became more passionate.

Keep your steps

Nothing in sight

Wake me up

[Feel my heartbeat]

Lyrics (approximate meaning):

(Keep running!)

(Just pretend nothing can appear in my field of vision)

(Wake me up)

(Feel my pounding heart)

Natasha, standing outside the door, raised an eyebrow, closed the last page, and glanced at the trembling Brother Dawei and the others. "Well, it's pretty good for a small studio, but there are a few things I'm concerned about. You all have high educational backgrounds; if you sent a few resumes to big companies, you should be able to find good jobs. Why did you choose to start your own small studio? Apart from her, I doubt any young woman would be willing to come to a place like this. Even if she were, the conditions she would set would be difficult for you."

After a moment of silence, Brother Dawei finally broke it, "... because, because of this."

"Today's idols are becoming more and more standardized. You can't see the vitality that idols should have at all. We want to create a real idol, an idol who brings joy and hope to people in our memories. It's just because of this somewhat ridiculous goal."

They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Yes, she's really stupid, just like her," Natasha commented without any mercy. "But that puts my mind at ease."

"Huh?" Brother Dawei and the others were confused.

"I have another question. Why are all of you men here? Aren't there any female employees?"

Several girls in charge of costume design and makeup were being held back by their colleagues, who seemed ready to rush forward and take Natasha down with them. "Hey, are you doing this on purpose? Just because you have big breasts doesn't mean you can be so great!!"

Natasha blinked, completely bewildered. Huh? Those people dressed in women's clothing were actually girls? She had thought they were cross-dressers.

[Fly away, let me fly away. Never hide in dark.]

[Head on, start a riot. Fly away, defying fate in my way]

[Crush it]

Make it!

Lyrics (approximate meaning):

(Take off, let us fly, never hidden in the darkness)

(Launching a war head-on, rebelling against fate in my own unique way)

(Until I succeed)

(Until I defeat fate)

"Hey, have you guys prepared an outfit for our idol? The cuter the better." Natasha looked at the fashion designer and gave her a strange smile.

"Oh, yes, please follow me." With that, the young lady led her to the storage room.

[Shadow is howling, sinking into death.]

[Anger is rising, like always have to be.]

[Whatever you say. You can't hold me back.]

[Cease to be a waver. I'll follow my craving.]

Lyrics (approximate meaning):

(The shadow roars as it sinks into death in the darkness.)

(Anger is rising, just like always)

(No matter how much you try to persuade me, you cannot make me back down in the slightest.)

(Stop being indecisive; just follow your heart's desires like I have.)

St. Freya Academy —

Bronya stared at the letter in silence. Had she and Black Seele gone too far that time? She couldn't bear it anymore and ran away from home.

Kiana lowered her head silently; it seemed she had been squeezing Sachi a bit too hard lately.

Mei didn't say anything, but closed her eyes and communicated with her Herrscher Persona, her face slowly turning red.

Wendy and Rita exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with embarrassment.

The Arin Sisters lamented the sudden departure of their new partner.

The Silly Mom didn't react much, because her daughter had said goodbye to her before running away from home and asked for a copy of Ai-chan's clone.

Oh, it's similar to the relationship between the Book of Cang Xuan Bracelet and Cang Little Xuan. Luckily, I got a Xiao Ai-chan.

PS: Since returning to the St. Freya Academy, there has been no public appearances. Theresa has announced that he is on a secret mission and will not appear for a long time.

[Break it down the frosty lies.]

[Stuck in time, (Now) chase my heartbeat!]

Lyrics (approximate meaning):

(Break down those pale lies)

(Travel through time, (now) chase after my heartbeat!)

"Hello students, I'm your new teacher, Pardofelis. You can call me Pardo or Phyllis, whichever you prefer! My main responsibility is teaching you how to escape—cough cough—I mean, strategic retreat. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand!"

In class, the cat dressed as a teacher greeted them warmly (of course, hiding its tail and ears before going on stage). Bronya looked at her brown hair thoughtfully.

(Referring to the picture of the cat in the teacher's uniform that Ai-chan posted, it's so pretty! That white shirt, that pencil skirt, and that...)

(Slap! It's you again? Don't you dare steal my narration spot!)

[Fly away, let me fly away. Light fallen up stars]

[Rock that burning flowerFly away, defying fate in my way]

[Feel]

[My]

[Heart!]

Lyrics (approximate meaning):

(Fly, let me fly, fly and light up the fallen star)

(Let the stars sway like burning petals, take flight, let me rebel against fate in my own way)

(Feeling)

(My place)

(My heart is pounding!)

As the song ended, the girl took off her headphones, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked nervously at the sound engineer who was still stunned. "Um, did I sing well?"

"..." The sound engineer remained silent, his body trembling slightly, as if he were enduring something.

"Uncle?"

Suddenly, the sound engineer stood up excitedly, rushed towards the bewildered girl, grabbed her leg, and shouted enthusiastically, "Luming Lady, you sang so well! Ahhh, how can you be so cute! I want to be your fan for life!!!"

"Huh?" The girl stared blankly at the sound engineer lying on the ground, a little confused.

"Get your paws off me! You bastard, Xiao Wang! What are you going to do if you scare Luming Lady away?!" Enraged, Brother Dawei and the others found the spare key, rushed in, and dragged away the dizzy and disoriented sound engineer.

"You bastard, you actually did something we wanted to do but didn't dare to do so easily, really... Hey, Xiao Li, I remember there's a tree in our backyard, isn't there?"

Aruba Middle School —

(Um, is that what it's called? Anyway, I often heard them call it that when You Hui was in high school. I don't know if it's these three words. Fortunately, the Silly Loli doesn't have to experience this kind of terrible Yugi.)

The girl took the water handed to her by the makeup artist and drank it all in one gulp. A faint scream could be heard, and she silently covered her ears. "Um, is Mr. Wang alright?"

"Don't worry, they play like this all the time, they're used to it." The girls looked at Xing excitedly, like hungry wolves seeing a flock of sheep. "Luming Lady, your audition was excellent. How about we speed things up and start filming your first performance video right away? That way we can increase your popularity and build your fanbase on social media."

"Wow, so fast?" The girl's face twitched. It must have been a little embarrassing to have someone see her singing.

"Scared? You'll be on stage and facing even more audiences in the future, stage fright won't do." Natasha patted her shoulder encouragingly, "Keep it up! Aren't you going to become a world-class idol?"

"Well... okay, then let's go now—" Just as Xing mustered up her courage and was about to go to the video room with them, she suddenly froze.

The backpack she had placed on the sofa had been opened at some point, and a Little Te head popped out, quietly watching her. This meant that a monster had appeared.

"Excuse me, I have to leave for a moment, Sister Natasha. Please wait here for me." Without waiting for them to react, she picked up her backpack and quickly left.

Natasha sighed helplessly, covering her forehead. "Sigh, I knew she wouldn't be able to stay still. Hey, you guys wait here for me for a bit, I'll be right back." Without waiting for them to react, she quickly followed Xing away.

The girls left standing there. "..."

"Let's decide what clothes look best on Luming-chan!"

"Mmm! Luming-chan is so cute, even I, a woman, am smitten!"

"And also, her hair and eyes are so unique, and it doesn't look like she dyed her hair or wore colored contact lenses."

"Oh well, never mind all that, let's pick out some clothes first!"

——Love Gate——

Navigating the narrow stairwell, I took out my Build Phone, inserted the Lion Full Bottle into it, and threw it out just before reaching the exit. A sleek motorcycle suddenly appeared.

The girl used her small feet to jump onto the seat, gripped the handles, put on her helmet, and was about to start the engine when she suddenly felt herself fall into a familiar embrace.

"Hey little one, no matter how precocious you are, minors shouldn't ride motorcycles." Natasha sat behind her, held her little hand, turned the handlebars, and drove away.

Feeling the soft touch on her back, the girl trembled slightly. "Hey, didn't I tell you to wait for me there? This is so embarrassing!"

"Don't worry about the details~" Natasha teased, scratching her cheek with one hand.

Knights, charge!

Author's Note—

At this moment, the three main storylines— the Kamen Rider storyline, the Idol storyline, and the Idol storyline—officially begin in Changkong City.

Who would have thought that the idol singing passionately on stage is actually Kamen Rider protecting the city?

(I'm so sorry my writing is so bad)

The responsibilities of Valkyrie / Schicksal Knight are somewhat similar to those of Kamen Rider, so they're depicted as a subplot.
