Girl Group Plan

(Bai Ziye)

"But I didn't expect you to be such a handsome young man!"

I just exposed her despicable behavior, and she even tried to lock me up. Now she actually has the nerve to talk to me, without feeling the slightest bit of shame...

Is this the kind of invulnerability that traditional idols have?

I sighed, "I don't want Ceruno to know about this; you have to keep it a secret."

"So this is the secret you mentioned before, were you afraid Ceruno wouldn't accept your true gender? You're so handsome, what girl would refuse you? I didn't even have the heart to slap you just now!"

"You'd better not speculate about this."

I still have some reservations about what Halley did.

"So, this is in exchange for you keeping this a secret for me?"

I frowned and denied it, saying, "No, this deal is off, and you have no right to negotiate with me. If you do anything outrageous again, even if you intend to expose my identity, there are some things I won't easily compromise on."

I'll have to tell Ceruno sooner or later.

I'm just waiting for the right opportunity...

"Miluno, you really are heartless."

"You've gone too far, Miss Halley. I always thought you were an unfortunate but upright person, but what you've done has truly disappointed me."

"... I just wanted to win; I didn't intend to kill them."

"Based on that statement alone, I have reason to suspect that your moral compass has been influenced by Dark Energy. You tied me up and locked me in a locker without knowing my identity? Do you think this is normal human behavior? To put it another way, are you even human anymore?"

"Of course, using some tricks is actually quite normal. It's not the exclusive domain of Monster; humans can also resort to any means to win."

At least that's how it was in the industry twelve years ago. On Past surface, everything looked glamorous, but the norm was always subtly setting traps for each other... So I still consider myself human; humans are inherently multifaceted."

She was defending herself.

It doesn't mean she 'Monster; she could do similar things too.

They just replaced the "misfortune" with poisoning or laxatives...

I don't want to accept it, but just how dark was the idol industry in the Past?

"That's all in the past. You live in the present, and the world is completely different from what you used to know."

Maintaining a cool demeanor, I advised, "If you're confident in your abilities, go on stage and perform. If the judging is unfair, I'll go and argue with Sirius on your behalf... But your behavior must be befitting a magical girl idol, even if you're not a magical girl."

Although each Star Crystal has different preferences for selecting suitable individuals, one thing remains unchanged.

The magical girls all possess positive qualities.

Someone like Halley, who did something like that, wouldn't be chosen by the Star Crystal.

I promise you.

Standing in front of the dance studio, I crossed my arms and whispered, "You used to only make me feel sorry for you, but now you make me feel pathetic. You don't want me to think you're hateful, do you?"

The Monster created from the Black Crystal are weaker than regular Monster and are no match for magical girls. I don't want things to escalate to the point where I have to eliminate you...

I'm not good at expressing my emotions, so you might feel uncomfortable listening to me, but this is how I care about you.

"... Yes, I understand."

Halley pushed open the trainer's door, carrying a tray in one hand.

The tea drinks on the tray were all normal; I had been watching them being re-brewed.

Ceruno even jogged over to greet her.

"Miss Hallley, why did it take so long... Oh? Miluno!"

As soon as it saw me, that idiot ran over wagging its tail.

Of course, she didn't have a tail.

I just think if she had a tail, she would definitely be wagging it happily right now.

"I ran into Halley in the break room and chatted with her for a bit."

"Did Miluno come to cheer me on?"

"Well, even though you've been eliminated, you still have the right to check on your rehearsals, right?"

Hearing me say that, Ceruno seemed even more excited.

"Of course, you're very welcome!"

I didn't see Ryu or Shark Princess Witch in the dance studio.

They don't need backup dancers or dance practice; they have their own rehearsal methods.

Every action "Flow Princess" makes is under Ryu's control, and she can even create the special effects of the Master of Shadows through multiple projection effects.

But...

That magical girl named Dusk Raven gave me a strange and eerie feeling.

She has a weak presence; she used to go unnoticed when there were many people around, but now she looks very unnatural and out of place.

She had no contact with the rest of the people.

It's like a monster that appeared out of nowhere.

But she eliminated the Gray Swan who eliminated Zara, so as an idol, she should have some ability, it's just...

"Hey everyone! Good afternoon! How's everyone's preparation going? Do you need to come on stage for a rehearsal?"

Sirius's voice came from the doorway.

Ceruno asked, "Miss Sirius? Where's Yezi Man?"

Sirius glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.

"My boyfriend went to the city to run an errand, he'll be back soon."

"Why does Miss Sirius always send Yezi..." The idiot's voice carried a hint of complaint.

"I was going to ask you the same thing, Ceruno- chan, are you the type who gets lonely if you don't see your boyfriend for even a moment?"

"... Of course not, I'm not Goldie."

"Woof?"

As it turned out, the Golden really did peek out from behind Sirius.

Fearing their conversation might reveal some secrets, I stepped forward and asked, "Did you come here just to check on their training results?"

"No, I just have a plan and I'd like to get everyone's opinions."

She didn't say anything while I was upstairs.

Clearly, she had come up with a brand new way to have fun in this short period of time.

The clueless Ceruno leaned closer and asked, "What's the plan?"

"So, I'd like to ask you all, if you want to become idols, are you interested in forming a group?"

"What do you mean? Idol girl group?"

"That's right, of course this is just my personal opinion and has nothing to do with this Supernova Idol Festival. As you all know, I have taken over as the Association's president, a position that mainly involves external affairs and the Association's image building."

Aunt Yuehan asked thoughtfully, "Hmm, are you planning to use idol activities to salvage the Association's declining reputation?"

"That's right! As expected of Yuehan, you can easily understand my thoughts! Lately, the more I deal with the mess left by A-Ji, the more I realize my shortcomings in this area. So I plan to break out of the framework he left behind and act in my own way."

Although I don't know the specifics of how to implement it, I can understand her thinking.

Because of the various events that have occurred during this period, the Association has indeed been in a passive position in the battle for public opinion.

"Of course, this idea is still in the planning stage, and I don't expect everyone to give an answer now. However, with the support of the Association and me, the world's number one idol, personally leading the team, everyone's development opportunities will be greater!"

She really has absolutely no modesty.

"Well, that's all I wanted to say. Think it over carefully!"

As she spoke, she beckoned to me with her finger.

"Miluno- chan! You'd be very happy to join us!"

I'm not going to be a girl group idol!
