Following the direction the sound came from, Yuan Shikai's face darkened.
Aoko Aozaki stood on a grand stage, guitar in hand, playing with complete abandon.
She wore a blue little vest and blue hot pants, with a tiny star stuck to her left cheek, a tiny moon on her right, and a blue bee headband on her head.
Aoko Aozaki had turned herself into something like an alien, though her class really was Alien.
But Yuan Shikai absolutely refused to admit it. That was definitely not his Aoko. If his Aoko dared to dress up like that, he would spank her.
Dozens of speakers around them blasted deafening pop music. They were all songs Yuan Shikai had never heard before, but they were pretty good.
As for the so-called cheering squad members, they were all various paper people—literally paper people. It looked like Alice's handiwork.
Just as Yuan Shikai was about to head over, someone suddenly tugged at his pants.
Looking down, he saw a paper person only reaching his chest tugging at his clothes while pointing in another direction.

Yuan Shikai said, "You lead the way.
