"Ha..."
Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only had he enjoyed two satisfying battles, but he had also made up for the feeling that he had always owed Lisia something.
Now he could relax and enjoy Lisia's stage performance up close.

Lisia in the Mega Evolution World Line had clearly fallen far short of Elesa in performance quality.
And Li Yizi... in Shen Qi's eyes, she really had performed at least as well as Elesa.

The song she would perform was... "Appeal☆Love."
