Katsu, Shidou, Miku and other classmates were in this "special seat" watching the stage performances of various schools from around twelve o'clock until two o'clock.
Because of the uneven quality of the performance, Katsu, who was already slightly sleepy, couldn't help but yawn, and then asked Miku lazily next to him: "Well, when is our performance?"
"Two: fifty," Miku replied simply.
"Oh, oh." Katsu nodded, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go put on my performance clothes first. There's probably no one in the dressing room at this time. Shidou...ahem, Shiori, let's go too."
"Oh, okay." Shidou on the side responded subconsciously.
Miku glanced sideways at the two of them but said nothing.
… …
Shidou, who came to the dressing room at this moment, watched the other side pick up the gorgeous yellow princess dress and put it on without caring. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and couldn't help but ask: "Katsu, do you actually... have some hobbies like cross-dressing..."
Katsu, who had already put on his performance clothes and was adjusting the prosthesis on his chest, turned his head and looked at Shidou expressionlessly.
Although there was no expression on his face, Shidou couldn't help but shudder at the gaze. He immediately stopped talking nonsense and honestly picked up his blue skirt, which was obviously much simpler than Katsu and put it on.
… …
"It's less than half an hour until three o'clock. From now on, Shidou, don't stay more than three meters away from me." Katsu looked at the time on his phone and reminded Shidou in a low voice.
"Okay, please, Katsu." Shido nodded, with a cautious look on his face.
At 2:50 p.m., the Rindouji Private Academy song and dance performance: "My Treasure" begins.
Six girls from Rindouji Private Academy stepped onto the pitch-black stage, including, of course, the two strange guys who sneaked in...
At this moment, the entire venue was silent, as if they were holding their breath in excitement for the next performance.
At this moment, there was a "click"!
Four white spotlights shone on the four backing dancers who were positioned in a quadrilateral. Then, the four lights merged into two, turning into two blue spotlights, which shone on the two lead singers side by side in the center of the quadrilateral - --The next moment, a soft, almost tearful melody floated out from the stage speakers and lingered in the sky above the entire venue.
Listening to this extremely familiar tone, a nostalgic smile appeared on Miku's face unconsciously. When was the last time she sang this song on stage?
It seems to be two years ago...
"When I was little, I always dreamed of the glittering stage---"
Katsu, who had already been prepared and took a deep breath, picked up Miku's voice the moment it fell. "Imagine the showerhead as a microphone, and the singing will linger in the bathroom~~"
"La la la, la la la -" the two voices overlapped.
At this moment, the cheering sticks in the entire venue lit up, and then a wave of cheers erupted.
Enter Fraxinas, Kotori held her cheek with one hand, looked at the picture on the screen, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "As expected of Brother Katsu..."
Kaguya and Yuzuru, who were also looking at the screen next to them, had slightly dull expressions.
"Brother...has become a sister why does he look much more beautiful?" Tohka couldn't help but muttered to herself.
The two twins' spirits can only pretend like nothing happened "The song is also very nice..."
… …
"Let me sing you a song, and let's sing along
So long as there are people listening somewhere until my voice grows hoarse, I'll make it keep resonating.
Let me sing you a song, and let's sing along
What I was given by God, was nothing more than a miracle."
… …
"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!" As the last note fell, the lingering aftertaste of the melody seemed to make all the audience cheer.
Katsu couldn't help but turn his head and look at Miku's snow-white profile. She was also smiling at the moment, but... she seemed a little gloomy. If Katsu activates Kenbunshoku Haki now to check Miku's emotions then she is definitely not happy right now.
'Okay, maybe it's the lighting effect. At this time, Miku should really be happy, right? '
Just when Katsu lowered his head and chuckled, an accident happened---
[Divine Power Spiritual Equipment. Ninth Edition! ]The voice that struck straight to the heart was obviously not loud, but for some reason, it easily overwhelmed the boiling cheers.
In the center of the stage, a faint light enveloped Miku's body - forming a dress of light.
A top that clings to the body along the curves of the body, loose princess sleeves, and a strip of light that unfolds like a short cardigan to cover these areas. And - a gorgeous skirt made of many layers of overlapping pleats of light.
After all the clothes were revealed, the moon-shaped hair ornament adorning Miku's hair began to shine---
The true form of the elf - [Diva] has arrived at this moment!
"Miku?!" Katsu looked at Miku who suddenly revealed her spiritual outfit in front of everyone, and made a voice in surprise.
However, she showed no tendency to respond at all and was still acting on her own—
"Gabriel!" As the words fell, an angel rose on the stage---
As if echoing Miku's voice, purple ripples began to spread with Miku's figure as the center, and then what looked like a huge metal block appeared on the stage.
Several silver slender cylinders are connected to the bulky body, showing a strange shape. It looks like a huge organ in a church.
The audience seemed to realize that this was not a performance. Shouts began to ring out all around.
Katsu couldn't help shouting Miku's name loudly: "Miku! What are you doing!?"
However, Miku ignored Katsu, let alone the commotion at the venue. She just stretched out her right hand and waved it from left to right. Then, on the trace she drew with her hand, a faintly glowing light band appeared.
No, calling it [Light Belt] seems a bit inappropriate. Because there were several thin lines that curved around Miku's slender body and quickly extended, forming a shape that resembled the keys of a piano or organ.
I don't understand Miku's intention of summoning this angel. But an ominous premonition still arose in Katsu's heart. At the same time, the wireless shadow headphones he had been wearing on his ears since he went to change into performance clothes also sounded Kotori's confused and surprised voice: "Brother Katsu? Have you told Miku that AST/DEM will attack here at three o'clock?"
"No..." ***'s voice was low. It was now three o'clock, and there were only about three minutes left. At this time, Miku appeared in spiritual clothes and angels. In the eyes of insiders, it seemed that she was trying to guard against AST and DEM. The attacks are generally...
But Katsu, who knew very well that Miku didn't know this, understood that things were by no means that simple...
"Miku, what's wrong with you?!" Katsu frowned, trying to stop Miku's next move.
but---
[Solo ] Miku has spread out her hands and tapped her fingers on the keyboard of light surrounding her.
...--Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz--!
Instantly, the giant angel standing behind Miku began to make an alarming noise.
The sound echoed heavily in the regularly connected silver cylinders and then spread to the surroundings. The air in the entire venue was shaking violently, and even the whole body was shaking.
"hiss----"
Katsu was so shocked that he subconsciously created a pink shield protecting himself and Shidou
It was as if the brain had been hit by a giant hammer, and the skull was shaking!
It wasn't until a few seconds later that this uncomfortable feeling slowly faded away, but when Katsu straightened up and looked around, wanting to check the consequences of Miku's move, the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched.
A rather unusual scene came into view. There were thousands of spectators at the venue, but not a single sound was made at this moment. Everyone remained motionless and stared at the top of the stage with expressionless faces.
---Even wrapped around Kaguya, Yuzuru, and Tohka who were watching the performance in the audience! (In the original work, Tohka was not controlled because she wore headphones in both ears)
