Preparations (Part 2)

(Ceruno)

"Miss Wei Die! Let's get our makeup done!"

At 7 p. m., there was only one hour left before the online concert.

Just as fans were eagerly waiting in front of their computers, we led Barbara through the teleportation tunnel to Ms. Wei Die's image design center (only one storefront). Ms. Fahrenheit, the original makeup artist who felt her job had been taken away, was not to be outdone and followed us in.

"What a tiny shop! Did the owner of this little shop steal my job as a makeup artist?"

"It's the designer," Ms. Wei Die corrected.

With his fingertips twirling his long purple hair, Fahrenheit said provocatively:

"That's perfect! Let this professional do Barbara's makeup, and I'll take care of yours! Then we can have a makeup competition to see who's better!"

Wei Die was also unconvinced and asked:

"Why should I only do Barbara's makeup, but you do the makeup for two people?"

Upon hearing this, Fahrenheit broke open his Star Crystal pendant, which transformed into two little girls right in front of Wei Die.

One is red, like fire.

"How about that? There are two of us now!"

A blue one, like ice.

"We can split ourselves into two..."

A noisy one.

"I'll do Miluno's makeup!"

A quiet one.

"Then I'll take care of Ceruno..."

The noisy little girl was Hualun. She pulled Miluno's hand and sat her down on the sofa, then pulled out a makeup bag from behind her, looking like she was about to do a lot of work on Miluno's face.

Miluno seemed uneasy.

"... Then I'll leave it to you."

"Don't underestimate the makeup skills honed in the circus!"

Miluno seemed even more worried and added:

"Don't draw me as a clown, okay?"

It was Haite came before me.

She was Miss Fahrenheit's quieter half. The blue-haired little girl pulled out a small stool for me to sit on, then took out her makeup bag from behind her... Miss Fahrenheit, do you always buy things in duplicate?

Before starting the makeup, he also said:

"Please leave it to me with confidence."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Compared to the noisy Hualun, little Haite seemed much more reliable; her expression was calm, her movements were deliberate, and she had the air of a master.

As for Ms. Wei Die, who did Barbara's makeup, she used all her skills.

Hualun and Haite both carried small makeup bags, but Miss Wei Die used a square makeup box, and kept taking out cosmetics from it to apply to Barbara's little face like paint.

"Miss Wei Die, is the makeup alright?"

"Leave it to me! I'll use my experience working on film sets to handle this with all my might!"

"If I may ask, when you were working on film sets in the Past, were there any famous TV series you participated in?"

"No, they're all movies, like 'Ghostly Message,' 'Seven Days Alive,' and 'Ghost Shadow Livestream,' pretty famous, right?"

"... So you're a costume designer on a horror movie set?!"

Compared to regular makeup artists, horror movie stylists are probably closer to morticians! What kind of deity did we hire to help us?

Is Barbara okay?!

"Don't worry! I'll do my makeup for a normal performance!"

As Wei Die spoke comforting words, she turned the barber chair around to show us her work. Barbara's already fair face became rosy and radiant with the makeup, and her lips, glossy with lip gloss, emitted an attractive fragrance. Her long, emerald-green hair was coiled into a thin braid in front of her, like a willow branch swaying by a lake.

"Not bad at all."

I spoke, but it displeased Haite.

"Ceruno, don't move, I can do better too."

Although her voice sounded a bit lazy, she still refused to give up.

Makeup complete.

To be honest, Ms. Wei Die is more professional. However, Hualun and Haite also realized the gap between themselves and the professionals, and decided to learn makeup skills from Wei Die.

The change in attitude left Wei Die somewhat at a loss.

"Okay, let's change into our performance outfits first."

Miluno handed me the black clothing bag.

The costume Miss Halley prepared for me was a red evening gown, the silk reflecting a dazzling sheen under the lights, contrasting sharply with Miluno's masculine black tuxedo.

Clearly, on stage, I am positioned as the leading lady.

"This costume is so beautiful! I want to study fashion design too!"

After praising the design, Wei Die asked again:

"But... did you only prepare one costume?"

Miluno replied, "Yes, the concert was rushed, and there wasn't enough time to prepare, so we didn't have time to order the custom-made items."

"Should I put together a few outfits for you on the spot? There's still half an hour before it starts! I'll go run some errands at the mall, we'll make it in time!"

Miss Wei Die is really enthusiastic...

"But compared to haute couture, there's still a difference between the regular fashion you can buy in department stores, right?"

"It won't be too different. In comparison, wearing the same outfit to the end seems rather insincere! The audience will be disappointed!"

Miss Wei Die stood with her hands on her hips, lecturing, while Hualun and Haite added:

I agree with that!

"We can help with the changes... but Miluno needs to use magic to buy some time."

Miss Fahrenheit had a knack for fashion design; the witch-cloak-style school uniform at the City School was her creation.

Miluno hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"... Then I'll have to trouble you."

"I've got a clue very quickly!"

Miss Wei Die said this as she rushed out of the shop.

"She's working so hard!"

When I said that, Mono just shrugged as if it were perfectly normal.

"That's normal. She sees this concert as an opportunity for herself. Your styling is a showcase of her talent. This is a concert with at least 40 million attendees! The success of the concert is related to her reputation, so of course she's going to give it her all!"

If there's only one outfit from beginning to end, she, as the nominal designer, might have to take the blame, so she needs to use this half hour to resolve this matter.

Sirius has arrived.

However, Miluno doesn't seem to care much about her performance costume?

"Let's send Barbara back to use as a stage first."

LoveLive!

Hajima Road Oil!

October 10th.

Friday night at 8 PM.

The global online fundraising concert has begun!

Although that's what I wanted to say, I ended up apologizing to the camera...

"Thank you to all Galaxy fans for gathering in this live stream! But we are also sorry that due to the approaching logging season, we have very little time and can only prepare this somewhat simple stage. We hope you can understand."

This is Halley's request.

Although online concert tickets are cheap, the stage is indeed shabby. If I don't explain this clearly, it might give malicious people something to criticize. It's better if I explain it clearly, and it will also win favor.

Metal had prepared a large screen for playing commentary, which was hung on Barbara's tree trunk.

Unfortunately, the barrage of comments in various languages was like an avalanche, and I couldn't read them at all...
