Luming Lady's First Concert (1)

"Lights on!"

"Camera in position for tracking!"

"The sound engineer is ready!"

"Live broadcast connection ready!"

"Brother Dawei is in position!"

"What are you doing here?!"

Bang!!!

Brother Dawei, who wanted to cause trouble, was kicked out by his own company's mascot Aji. Speaking of which, isn't Aji worried that her own company will be fired tomorrow because the left foot will be the first to step into Mihoyo Idol Agency?

Aji: "Heh, that guy dares to fire me, just you wait!"

Sigh, this boss is really losing face... Please continue to treat him this way, thank you.

——The dividing line of idols——

Below the stage, audience members who had bought tickets early and those who entered through the back door were all craning their necks to see what was going on. Although there was an age restriction, Bronya used her hacking skills to change the age on the ID card and successfully led the group into the venue.

Note: The main characters are mostly minors.

Otto, maintaining his elegant demeanor, sat in the VIP seat, silently reflecting on whether he had said something too harsh a few days ago. He had been trying to control himself, but it seemed that he had inadvertently touched a raw nerve with KK, who was also Xing.

That child's personality is very similar to Kallen's. It must be very painful to witness a newly made friend die in front of you and be unable to do anything about it.

Otto is the most qualified to speak on this matter.

Finally, Otto closed his eyes, lay back in his seat, crossed his legs, and his slightly open blue eyes revealed no emotion. "Heh, if you don't want to experience such a tragedy again, quickly recover your power and become stronger."

"I look forward to seeing how you will perform on the day K423 awakens, successor to [Kallen]."

Durandal and Rita sat nearby, while Theresa sat next to Otto, looking uneasy.

St. Freya Travel Group —

Kiana had her camera ready, but Wendy glanced at her dismissively and excitedly raised her high-definition video recorder, only to have it ruthlessly confiscated by Kane was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and work clothes. "Private photography is prohibited inside the concert venue. Please cooperate."

Bronya dismissively summoned her invisible Heavy Cannon Rabbit. Ha, a bunch of trash, you'll have to watch me.

Kane, who had turned back halfway, returned with the Honkai Energy detector. "I almost forgot, Luming specifically told me to thoroughly examine Bronya."

Three minutes later—

Under the puzzled gazes of passersby, Kane hummed a song and dragged away with an empty handcuff. Bronya sat dejectedly in her seat, thinking, "Damn it, my Heavy Cannon Rabbit is in jail again!"

Why did I say "again"?

(I was penalized once before at the St. Freya Academy for doing homework for someone else.)

After finishing his patrol duties, Kane, who had come to help his partner at the side job, found his seat. It was a seat right in the middle of the audience area. As always, Luming was very considerate.

Kane sat down in a good mood, glanced at the two empty seats next to him, and thought to himself that they would be polite audience members.

"Hello~" Fu Hua's Father appeared out of nowhere, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then walked to his seat.

Kane was almost scared into transforming. "..."

What's your name?

Do you have a job?

Do you own a house?

Have you ever had a girlfriend before?

What is your relationship with her?

... The following are N questions from Fu Hua's Father the ellipsis).

In short, on that day, Kane felt like he had rediscovered the feeling he had when he first met Julia's parents, although he felt that the parents would rather punch him to pieces.

Fu Hua's Father said that if his daughter were to be kidnapped by some Bronya on her wedding day... Although it was originally his son who would be getting married, he would still consider using the Ten Great Tortures of Shenzhou to treat him if that really happened.

Sigh, the better the partner, the greater the risk. I wonder how Julia is doing. I wonder if she recognized me that day. Should I write her a letter?

Kane looked at the Cross-Z in his hand and sighed silently. He poked the mechanical pet's head and thought, "Wait for me, Julia, wait until I get stronger..."

"Xiaoya! Over here!" Anna pulled her friend over and, under Kane's horrified gaze, gracefully sat down in the two empty seats next to him.

By the Heavenly Fire Judgment! God, are you playing me?!

Kane felt all the muscles in his body stiffen and his blood freeze in that instant, frantically praying that Julia hadn't noticed him.

Fortunately, Julia was separated from him by Anna, so she didn't see him.

Anna looked at the strange audience member wearing a mask and sunglasses with suspicion, but didn't think much of it. Instead, she followed the rules and waited quietly for the concert to begin.

This concert has a special segment where, after each song, Luming will randomly select a lucky audience member to come on stage and interact with Luming. The audience member can also choose to have Luming change into an outfit (from one of her previous looks).

Of course, you can bring your own clothes, but if you're planning something...

Aji, who was giving a presentation on stage, clapped her hands. Everyone backstage understood immediately, and photos of people being beaten up to the point of questioning their existence were displayed on the big screen.

"Friendly reminder: Luming is quite powerful!"

Hanser, a student in the audience, pinched his father resentfully.

Otto was urging the Void Archives hacking program, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. If any fool dared to let his great-granddaughter put on that shameful Miko's outfit, he would have to kill him on the spot!

The Anti-Entropy trio in the VIP seats next door were completely calm. Old Yang played with the Star of Eden in her hand, and several simulated Divine Key appeared one after another behind her.

"Although I hate this, I have to say that women are much more adaptable to Honkai Energy than men."

Tesla shifted his gaze from his crush's chest and pulled out a bottle of potion of unknown purpose. "So, do you want to prolong the effects of this medicine?"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Tesla, but I still prefer the original one," Old Yang politely declined.

——The dividing line of idols——

"Ahem, just testing the sound~"

Just as the audience was waiting anxiously, a playful and cute voice rang out in the arena. Several beams of light shone on the center of the stage, revealing the petite figure to everyone. The enthusiastic cheers gave the somewhat uneasy new idol the strongest support.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Xilumeng ~ I'm a practice session... Whose script is this?" The girl slapped away the speech script that Brother Dawei threw up from below the stage, "I said I don't need this!"

"No, Luming! You got the wrong draft! Just don't use the old one!" Brother Dawei was on the verge of tears. Damn it, who's in charge of writing the speech? Drag him out and bang his head against a tree a hundred times!

The audience's eyes instantly focused on the young man, their burning gazes almost scorching his beautiful black hair.

"Is that guy the owner of Mihoyo?"

"It's so great to be able to be close to Luming every day..."

"Shouldn't the fashion designers be the ones envious? I heard that the most popular Fox-Eared Miko character was designed by a male colleague..."

Is that firm still hiring?

"Ahem, everyone's attention should be on Luming! Forget about Brother Dawei!" Completely abandoning her sense of shame and male burden, Xing—or rather, Luming— stomped her foot in dissatisfaction, drawing the audience's attention back to her.

"Hehe, Sister Xing~" Wendy's drool dripped down her chin.

Mei, watching Kiana drooling all over the floor, silently drew a katana from her chest...

Note: They were in the VIP section next to Old Yang. According to Xing's instructions, Kane did not go to Otto and Welt's side.

The Arin Sisters' eyes sparkled, hoping that one day they too could stand on the stage.

As for Seele—

"Stop it, other me! You're not allowed to possess Sister Xing's body and play pranks at a time like this!" White Seele desperately pulled back Black Seele, who was trying to cause trouble. "You can't even secretly put little toys inside her!"

On stage, Luming Lady adjusted her hat and waved enthusiastically to the incredibly enthusiastic audience. It felt really good! Although she was a little nervous in front of so many people, it didn't matter, because—

Now, this is my stage!

She put a finger to her lips, signaling everyone to quiet down. "Well then, Luming is going to start singing. The first song—'The Songstress of the Honkai World' —is dedicated to my first encounter in this world..."

The stage lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only a lone lamp to guide Luming.

A melody tinged with melancholy filled the venue, and after a brief pause, the girl's deep voice joined in, offering her song to the audience.

"The end of the dream, the thought, the end, the end"

(The sweet dream lingers in memory until its end)

From the very first line, one could feel the girl's solid singing skills and her wholehearted emotional investment. For some reason, Mei in the audience suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.

"The dirty smile is gone, the smile is gone, the gentleness of the gentleman is warm"

ノイズのwhirlpool きんでCollapseれてのの えてくの ENDりの

しく Body を holding げ て "Red moon が blood-smeared れ town を" mournful の の

The end of the dream is the end of the dream."

In this world, it was the first time I received someone's trust, and it was also my first battle and encounter. Thank you, Mei, for lending me your power at that time.

First Bonded Weaponry: Raiden Mei

"なくなったMemoryのむしばまれたのAO

かしいをこえるのlastのexcitedしく BodyをEmbraceきdiめ

"The end of the red moon is the world"

えるまで"

There was a hint of joy amidst the sorrow, for the lament of sinners would not be repeated in this world again, and the opportunity to change fate had arrived. Even if he could not save everyone, at least he could protect those he loved.

""Red Moon and Blood Painted Town"

The sad song of the song, the sweetness of the dream, the thought of the dream, the end of the song, and the end of the song."

As the song ended, many listeners remained captivated by the melody until the young singer wiped away her tears and roused them with a playful and adorable voice. "Alright, the first round is over! Who will be the first lucky one?"

The lights in the venue returned to normal, and a string of constantly changing numbers rapidly jumped on the large screen behind the girl. Each admission ticket had a number on it, and if the number on the screen matched a certain number, then that person was the lucky one.

"Okay, stop!" Luming snapped her fingers, and a string of numbers was clearly displayed on the big screen.

"Alright, congratulations to this lady or gentleman. Please stand up so I can see you... No fighting, okay? Luming's job is to bring joy to everyone, and I'd feel very guilty if anything unpleasant happened... Sir, I see you!"

An excited young professional was running at breakneck speed down the aisle, completely ignoring the Idol Lady's advice to slow down. He slipped and fell on the steps leading to the stage, and just as he was about to have a close encounter with the ground, a strong little hand pulled him up in time.

"Honestly, I told you to slow down but you still ran so fast. Everyone should take this as a warning~" Luming exerted a little force to stop the still stunned lucky audience member and straightened his slightly disheveled collar. "Okay, sir, may I ask... sir?"

The girl waved in confusion in front of the stunned lucky audience member, who then realized what she was doing. He wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out for a long time. Seeing this, Luming smiled gently, took his trembling right hand, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, Luming is right here~"

The lucky audience member blushed even more upon seeing this, while at the same time, the sound of someone crushing the armrests of their seat could be heard repeatedly from below the stage.

Finally, he managed to utter his first words. "This hand... I'm never washing it again!"

"Huh?" Luming blinked innocently. "If you like my gloves, I can give them to you right now."

"Really?!" the lucky audience member asked excitedly, but the next second, his brain sensed countless brainwaves filled with murderous intent, and he ultimately refused for the sake of his life.

"Is there anything you want to say to Luming? Or is there an image you'd like Luming to project here? Time is limited, so please don't waste too much time being nervous~♪" The girl's gentle words dispelled his unease; it was just that more and more people wanted to assassinate him.

"Hmm, how should I put it, Luming-chan so gentle... I'm sorry, I forgot you hate being called that!"

"It's okay, I was just a little unaccustomed to it at first, but I'm much better now~♪"

"I've been a fan of yours ever since Luming posted her first showcase video. I never imagined that I would actually be able to meet you in person one day. This is truly..."

"Um, you can see the person in person when I go out to do a live stream, right?"

"No, it has a different meaning..." The lucky audience member looked very excited. He rubbed his hands together and continued to ask, "Speaking of which, is this outfit Luming's performance costume?"

"Oh right, I wear this outfit specifically for performances. By the way, wouldn't you like to see other looks of Luming?"

"Well, to be honest, of all your looks, this costume seems to have appeared the least, so I'd like to see you like this a few more times."

"Oh, is that so? ⊙▽⊙"

The initial conversation ended in a pleasant atmosphere. The lucky audience member returned to his seat amidst the envious and jealous gazes of those around him, while the protagonist on stage prepared for the second round.

"So, the song that Luming will sing next is called—"

"Cyberangel"

Phew, this is probably the last update before the Lunar New Year?
