Dad, Please Let Me Be Your One-and-Only Fan!

"Teacher Chu is so thoughtful! This method of increasing Holy Radiance constantly tempers the spirit, eliminates evil thoughts, and indirectly strengthens the will to resist the distortion of calamity."

Liang Xiaoxiao said seriously:

"Yes, actively practicing virtues can also increase the utilization rate and compatibility with Holy Radiance."

"But it also suits idols quite well; maintaining a consistent and radiant image in front of fans can also boost Holy Radiance."

The girl looked down at Bao'er, who was sweating profusely and had a dazed look in her eyes. She thought for a moment, and the scales on her fingertips surged in the form of chains, quickly forming a simple little fan.

Then, the disaster energy controlled the fan to spin rapidly.

Liang Xiaoxiao leaned closer and blew a cool breeze on her friend.

Lin Bao'er squinted her eyes contentedly. She had also trained at the base at the foot of Mount Shafburg today. She was already dizzy from the sun as soon as she came out, let alone in the stuffy and unair-conditioned carriage.

The girl rested her head on Liang Xiaoxiao's shoulder. Liang's body temperature was low, and the skin against her was cool, like a human refrigerator. It felt instantly comfortable against her skin. She murmured:

"Xiaoxiao, so comforting."

Liang Xiaoxiao sensed something was off; her shoulders were itchy from the weight of the hair, but looking at the girl who had completely gone limp, she couldn't bring herself to push her away. She could only say helplessly:

"Baby, aren't you scared to ride in the car now?"

Although trains and trams are very different, after experiencing that incident, there will be some lingering trauma associated with riding similar modes of transportation.

Lin Bao'er thought for a moment and answered honestly:

"Of course! When I rode the little train up, I was terrified that some Calamity Beasts might jump out and smash the carriage flat. I was on edge the whole time."

The little girl looked into those eyes, a trusting smile on her face, and continued:

"But isn't Xiaoxiao right beside me? I believe you will protect me, just like a true knight! So there's nothing to be afraid of."

Liang Xiaoxiao's heart inexplicably started beating faster, her face felt hot, and her chest was filled with unfamiliar emotions. She pursed her lips and looked out the window, not daring to look at Bao'er's overly dazzling smile.

"It's true that it's possible, but the way Bao'er described me as a hero makes me feel ashamed."

Lin Bao'er encouraged:

"Xiaoxiao is a hero! You saved me! If my Dad knew, they would definitely think so too, so don't be shy!"

"I believe that many people will say the same thing to Xiaoxiao in the future. She has to accept her strengths with equanimity, just like when she went on stage."

Liang Xiaoxiao shoved the small fan into Lin Bao'er's arms, ignoring the other's dazed look, patted her own cheeks, turned her head, and whispered:

"... Fool."

The Summer Wind carries the blessings of the mountains, blurring the words uttered from the lips.

The [Seed of Light] within that soul, nourished by overflowing emotions, will sooner or later radiate Holy Radiance that rises and falls with it, just like the dawn today, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

Down the mountain, at the White Horse Hotel.

The shimmering blue and green light, like thick watercolors splashed on the walls, swirled and roared, filling the room that faced the sea breeze and sunshine.

For a long, long time.

Chu Wangshu opened her eyes. Her soul traveled back from another dimension, carrying a large number of mysterious particles that filled her body. Her Supernatural Senses were infinitely extended, allowing her to glimpse the deeper secrets of this town.

Those were Charlotte's radiant blessing, and also a few branches of [illusory] magic.

The girl voluntarily exited this state, feeling the magic surging and boiling, ending her meditation for the day, and revealing a surprised smile:

"Great! I feel like I can try [Lighting Up] now!"

"Sister Charlotte's Meditation Method is amazing! In such a short time, my magic power has increased fivefold, or even sevenfold."

Chu Wangshu sat up, enjoying the scenery outside, and thought to herself:

"My mind works much better now; I can replay online classes in my head after watching them at three times the speed."

"Hmm, is this the memory library Xiao Qing mentioned? It feels a bit like Ji Shuzhu's Hyperthymesia next door, but much freer."

Chu Wangshu quickly put this detail aside. She looked at the jeweled ribbon on Hao's wrist and began to think about another problem, grumbling:

"Sister Charlotte said that Magic Armor is constructed based on the mind. Now, if we [Lighting Up] to construct Magic Armor and it succeeds, there's this feeling of emptiness, like eating a hamburger without fried chicken, or the protagonist suddenly becoming overpowered and cheating before even encountering a boss."

Although on the surface this child is a very serious and diligent top student, he subtly has an aesthetic pursuit in this area.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit lurked in the Little Cotton-padded Jacket's phone to eavesdrop. Even though it, as an AI, had no desire to complain, it still felt that the Savior's daughter was a bit eccentric.

Of course, its main point was to marvel at the other party's outrageous talent.

Even though both are [Lighting Up], the opposing Green Plum group has two advantages: first, the close contact buff of fluid exchange (the effect is only 1% of that of the Pure White Succubus); second, the dazzling bonus after performing at the Budokan.

Chu Wangshu was only half a week behind them.

Furthermore, the amount of magic power required for each Magical Girl to "Lighting Up" varies, but it is generally within the standard unit of one "lamp".

If Ji Shuzhu has 1.9 lamps and Chen Yining has 1.6 lamps, then Chu Wangshu has accumulated 6.4 lamps of magic power.

While this data cannot fully represent potential, it does show a certain gap.

Incidentally, Kiriwake Yayoi has 9.7 cups, Tang Liuli has 9.9 cups, and Xie Qingxuan has an exaggerated 13.8 cups.

However, considering the special nature of these people, their magic power data represents less their talent level and more the frequency of their sexual activity.

Well, whoever replenishes the most with the Pure White Succubus will accumulate the most magic power.

Therefore, a certain Great Demon King who can even use his own sister as a sex toy naturally becomes the undisputed champion.

Little Cotton-padded Jacket, unaware of the inside story, couldn't help but feel secretly inferior every time she saw the performances of her seniors, thinking that Charlotte's praise of her talent must be a lie.

This can only be described as an abstract misunderstanding; the only one to blame is her, the disciplinary committee member, for failing to maintain discipline.

Chu Wangshu thought for a while, still unable to shake off her excitement. She made the difficult decision to delay gratification and said expectantly:

"We're performing on stage tomorrow, so it'll be more fun to Lighting Up together afterward. I wonder what everyone's Magic Armor will look like?"

Even so, I was still extremely excited, just like the joy I felt on my first spring outing as a child.

Tomorrow is Charlotte's birthday and also the day of her commercial performance. After that, she can participate in the long-awaited Magical Girl training. After the training, there will be Third Performance, and she can also see her Dad. It's a quadruple celebration!

"No, even if it's time to rest, staying cooped up in my room is too decadent."

"I'd better go find Sister Ellie and everyone at the orphanage; I need to help them out as much as possible."

Chu Wangshu acted on her thought immediately, quickly dragging the still-napping Liuli Cat Cat out the door and running all the way back to the small church. Lively and full of life, she made Liuli, whose hand was being held, feel like a dark corpse.

Tang Liuli followed the child's pace and felt that Xiao Shu was becoming more and more cheerful. When she first met him, he was quite reserved and a rather rigid child.

Chu Wangshu was completely unaware of this. She walked into the small church, skillfully passed through the back door, and went straight to Charlotte's former residence, which had been decorated by Chu Yuanqing and the children. It was very lively and decorated everywhere.

Sister Ellie sat to one side, with Charlotte and Chu Yuanqing on either side. The children were either busy or running around, creating a very warm and cozy scene.

Tang Liuli stopped in her tracks, blinked her emerald eyes, looked at the oblivious Little Cotton-padded Jacket, and walked forward, creating an awkward scene of the four of them together. She took out her phone and snapped a picture, then couldn't help but complain:

"The generational order is so hard to calculate."

Chu Wangshu turned around and looked at the child prodigy with a puzzled expression, and asked:

"What's hard to calculate?"

The Green Eyed Cat perfectly masked its hesitation with its acting skills, giving an exceptionally natural answer:

"It's hard to say how many people will be in the audience tomorrow."

Chu Yuanqing quickly chimed in, trying to smooth things over for the other party:

"Well, although Dream Weaver Rabbit sold tickets for the festival, they didn't mention Charlotte or us, so they didn't get to ride the coattails of Flashdance's popularity. I wonder how many people will come."

This is a lie.

Astrid takes the [Witch] preparations very seriously. Even if she isn't in it, she'll still try her best to gather tens of thousands of viewers. For the Super AI, this task is a piece of cake.

25,000 tickets for the Saint Wolfgang celebration have been sold through various channels. Even with an attendance rate of only 50%, the combined population of this town and the neighboring town will create a spectacle comparable to that of the Budokan.

Chu Wangshu was quite discouraged upon hearing this, and she said:

"It's alright. Charlotte is so popular, there are already so many townspeople. Even if there are only a few hundred or a few thousand people watching the stage, it will still be very lively."

Kiriwake Yayoi came out of the kitchen carrying an apple pie. She placed the delicious treat on the table, reminding the children not to grab it immediately, and then took off her oven mitts, looked over, and said:

"I saw the stage for the festival performance today. Although it wasn't very professional, it was very close to the audience, kind of like an underground idol show?"

After hearing this description, Chu Wangshu became a little nervous and whispered:

"Even with fewer people, it will still be more exciting and thrilling than the previous Public Performance."

Sister Ellie held the Little Cotton-padded Jacket's hand, her golden-brown hair swaying, and a doting smile appeared on her elegant face as she spoke in perfect Great Xia Language:

"It's okay, Xiao Shu is very cute, everyone will like you."

Chu Wangshu felt a little shy, but also touched.

Charlotte's adoptive mother is so kind. Even though she can't see, she still says she's cute and will even speak to her in the Great Xia Language. She's kind and gentle, like the kind of elder who would give her lucky money.

Chu Wangshu picked up a piece of apple pie and fed it to the Green Eyed Cat next to her. Then, mustering her courage, she said:

"Sister Ellie said so, I'll definitely do my best tomorrow."

"Xiao Qing, Liuli, Yayoi- neechan, shall we train together again later?"

Little Sakura readily agreed, Chu Yuanqing had no objections, Tang Liuli was successfully persuaded, Xuan Bao, who was not present, was still in the room playing with remote-controlled race cars with the children. Half an hour later, they returned together to the dance studio where their idols had worked hard.

Time flies, and it's already the next day.

This small town, filled with traces of Charlotte, has finally welcomed its annual celebration.

Volume 1: 311. Twin tails, Hide-and-Seek, prelude.

The sun shone brightly, casting an orange glow.

Saint Wolfgang, like a giant airship of a blue whale, hovers in the azure sky, with the crystal-clear Lake Wolfgang below.

What's eye-catching is that its streamlined cabin is printed with a very cool two-dimensional image of Charlotte from [Shine Front].

The Doomsday Diva, dressed in stage costume, smiles and gestures towards the audience. The artist vividly captures the playful and adorable atmosphere of a fairy, with azure crystal patterns adorning the edges. At the bottom are words of birthday wishes and the date.

This unique themed boat, if photographed online, would likely generate a lot of buzz.

After all, the Austria version of [Shine Front] just released pre-orders for Saintess merchandise a few days ago, and it was snapped up by anime fans, so it has a good chance of becoming a new hot item.

Incidentally, the supply chain operation in Dongliu is very sophisticated, and they have even completed a round of sales. Among them, limited edition merchandise featuring popular players, such as a small card, can fetch as much as 70,000 to 80,000 yen.

The arrival in Great Xia will be half a month later, but it has already attracted great attention from mainland show fans and anime enthusiasts.

It's important to know that, unlike regular anime, the Little Idol in <Flash Dance> are permanently eliminated and can never make a comeback, so don't expect [Shine Front] to release new skins and merchandise.

Therefore, fans who support less popular contestants are afraid that if they don't buy the merchandise this time, it will be discontinued and there will be no next time. Fans who support popular contestants are also afraid that their idols will have a bad day, so they will definitely buy it if they can.

In this case, cutting leeks is faster than robbing a bank.

Dream Weaver Rabbit capitalized on this psychology. While selling tickets, it didn't mention "Flash Dance" or that it was Charlotte's birthday celebration, but instead offered official Charlotte merchandise as a bonus with ticket purchases, a very novel approach.

The end result was that, after a slight promotion, all 25,000 tickets sold out in three hours. A large group of fans of the Saintess Maiden rushed to the scene in the morning and could see the airship released by the fans from afar.

"Mom, I want that airship!"

"Child, Mommy wants one too."

At that moment, a young mother, holding her daughter's hand, looked at this scene and was deeply moved.

These ticket-buying audience members originally intended to collect their merchandise and leave, but the cool-looking themed boats hovering in the sky immediately piqued their interest, prompting them to comment:

"6. Is this Charlotte's fan meeting?"

"This is amazing! I've seen itasha (decorated cars) but never itasha (decorated airships)."

"What kind of celebration is this? It's incredibly impressive."

"Very nice and tasteful. Let's take a look around before we leave, since we're already here."

Luna blended into the crowd, her golden hair hidden behind a fisherman's hat. She wore black-rimmed glasses over her beautiful face, a windproof sun-protective jacket, a hiking backpack, and a camera hanging around her neck.

The girl, panting, adjusted her glasses, her blue-gray pupils filled with confusion. As a fervent fan of Charlotte, she instinctively sensed her idol's presence as soon as she entered the town.

Oh, could it really be such a coincidence?

Luna was a little excited. When she was hospitalized with a fever the day before yesterday, she dreamed of many bizarre and fantastical scenes. After waking up, she heard strange voices telling her to make a wish. She casually said that she wanted to see Charlotte and ask her for her autograph.

The next day, a friend gave me a ticket that included free merchandise with every admission.

Could my wish really come true today?
