Performance Outfit, Miluno
(Miluno)
While I was changing into my costume, the little thing kept asking me questions in my head.
"Miluno, do you really think Sun Ji is going to take action against the City School?"
SpiCa thinks so, but I'm only half convinced.
"Right? It's impossible no matter how you look at it!"
As soon as I thought about it, Mono started talking non-stop.
"Given the City School's ability to continuously move at high altitudes, by the time they opened a wormhole on the 'The Other Side,' we'd already been far away! Surely they can't just launch another Annihilation Bomb, right? Or do they have some kind of flying vehicle?"
Whether it's Annihilation Bomb or flying vehicles, Mono and I have interception plans. If they dare to come, I'm willing to send them back to the 'Supreme Council'. Not to mention there are 1,400 magical girls here. Even if we send the 'Great Hand', we might not be able to take this place...
But we can't underestimate our opponents; they might actually have a way to get into the City School.
I said, "Now that the objective of 'the Other Side' is clear, it has become possible to analyze their actions. SpiCa's prediction is indeed reasonable. If the 'Zodiacal' is lost, it will definitely cause considerable panic throughout the world, which is consistent with Sun Ji's consistent tactics."
Not only that.
If we can capture the City School, we can also prevent it from providing external support and reduce the pressure when launching attacks on other regions.
"It's alright, don't be afraid of him coming."
SpiCa lay in wait, weaving an unseen net, just waiting for Sun Ji's people to show themselves.
Take the costume out of the costume bag.
Halley prepared a masculine tuxedo for me, a handsome and formal style, with a white shirt with multiple ruffled collars underneath. The tuxedo was adorned with shimmering lacquer, reflecting a unique texture under the light.
The lower body is still a black pencil skirt with a gathered hem, made of the same fabric as the tuxedo. However, this skirt has a special trick: with a little force, the sides of the skirt can be stretched open to reveal the hidden fabric, turning it into an A-line skirt. When the legs are brought together, the opening automatically closes back into a pencil skirt.
"Was this design intended for dancing?"
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to wear pants instead?"
"That won't work, the audience won't like it!"
"... Um?"
But dancing?
There was no dance troupe at this concert, so the dance steps weren't very large; otherwise, dancing in a short skirt would have inevitably resulted in wardrobe malfunctions.
"Wardrobe malfunctions are great! The audience loves them!"
"... Um?!"
"It's changed."
As soon as I left the bathroom, Halley and Barbara looked over. The latter, her face still flushed and expressionless, rubbed against me.
It's tiny, like a cat that wants to be adopted.
Halley clapped his hands in approval.
"Great job! Miluno really suits this kind of handsome men's clothing!"
Although I was praised, I don't know why I'm not happy...
"You said Ceruno's clothes and mine are a pair? Are they also tuxedos?" I asked.
"No, no, no, the perfect match for a tuxedo is an evening gown!"
Halley opened another clothing bag on the sofa, inside was a burgundy silk evening gown, which seemed a bit... too mature for Ceruno.
At this point, there was one set left on the sofa.
Whose is this?
With her hands resting on the Ancient Tree girl's shoulders, Halley replied:
"Barbara, but... you said you've already prepared it for her?"
"Yes, we went to an image design center and had a professional designer create a look for her, and also helped her choose her performance outfits."
Although I described it as high-end, it was just a small shop with a single storefront.
"Oh? Image design? Not bad, I thought you just got her a haircut... Would you like to try this one?"
"Of course, Barbara can choose whichever is better."
Barbara, who was holding my arm, nodded, so I took the clothing bag and unzipped it.
"Oh?"
The outfit Halley provided for Barbara was also a light green dress. Although the design was simple, it was exquisitely made, resembling a lush green sapling, perfectly matching Barbara and the theme of the concert.
In comparison, although Wei Die's chosen outfit also suited Barbara well, it wasn't a custom-made garment, so its competitiveness might be somewhat lower...
But it won't be too different; ultimately, it depends on Barbara's own interests.
Which outfit does Barbara like?
"Wei Die, Miss's."
Perhaps it's the sentiment behind it?
Barbara ultimately chose the outfit that Wei Die had put together for her.
"You lost? Fine, I'll do as you say."
Halley readily accepted the offer, putting away the outfit from her failed campaign performance and saying, "It's normal to change outfits four or five times for a concert, but this time the event was organized in such a rush that we only had this one. Please make do with it."
"Don't say that, everyone should just do their best."
This project was rushed, with insufficient preparation time, and it was held in City School, so professionals couldn't get in. We had to ask the magical girls for help with the preparations, and it was rather amateurish in many ways. I think it would have been better to hold it to the standards of a school convention program.
When will the rehearsals begin?
"Let's talk about it when Ceruno wakes up. Something happened last night, and she barely slept a wink."
Although it was a false alarm, she really did go through all that trouble for me. Anyway, we can gain extra time through a magical combination, now...
Let her sleep a little longer.
"Really? Then I'll go make other preparations!"
Halley tidied himself up, stood up, and said again:
"By the way, your concert already has over 30 million reservations."
I frowned and asked:
Is this fake data?
"No, that's the actual number of people worldwide. Don't underestimate the influence of the number one idol!"
"Poke my forehead with your tail," Hallley continued.
"With Sirius's support and Galaxy's established reputation, this number of attendees is quite normal. Although it was affected by the previous days, the actual turnout won't be less than the reservations. If you perform well, you might actually achieve your target!"
At least 30 million people will watch our fundraising concert. Even after deducting all the miscellaneous expenses, the ticket revenue alone would be enough to buy the entire forest, wouldn't it?
"But don't get too excited yet; we're still a long way from buying the entire Forest Park."
Halley picked up his briefcase.
"Miluno, open the door for me, I need to go back to the branch first."
"OK..."
As luck would have it, my phone rang.
"Um, wait a minute."
It was my mom calling again.
"What's wrong? Did you find the Proxy's information?" I asked.
"Come to Dantai Xue's restaurant right away. Your father may have found out Gong Ling's identity."
The identity of that ghost magical girl...
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
After hanging up the phone, I casually opened a teleportation portal and said to Halley:
"Let's go together, I need to go back too."
