Chereads / COTE: I became Sakura / Chapter 9 - Concert

Chapter 9 - Concert

Class D was, obviously, disturbed.

After the sound recording and video recording made way to their group, Hirata and his harem who had been nearby went to save Sotomura.

As Hirata entered the room, with bags under his eyes, everyone surrounded him to know about what happened.

As Hirata explained them about what happened, he could clearly see the divide between boys and girls.

People like Ike and Yamauchi were not looking at girls, and were even afraid.

Afterall, a Rape allegation will ruin anyone's life. It wouldn't matter if they did it or not.

And Kushida, who they thought was an angel, turned out like this...

"Yamauchi, I want to remain single."

"Me too, Ike."

All the excitement they had yesterday for swimming class was nowhere to be seen.

The atmosphere of the class was very gloomy, and the gloomy Chabashira-sensei entered the class.

She was now certain that this class will get 0 points by the end of the month. And, there has never been a case where a student was expelled after barely a week has passed since the classes started.

She has to give up her hope for this batch going to class A too, it seems.

Classes went on as usual, and for Sakura, after catching up on her sleep, and went to the Music club with Sotomura.

The Music club spent four hours in the club room, and released Sakura's song on YouTube.

Idol by Shizuku.

In English and Japanese, both languages.

After the upload of both videos was complete, they posted them on the school forum, and started preparing for the concert three days later.

The song immediately became popular in the school, and by the time the time for concert arrived, the English cover had already reached 50K views. It will still take some time before it becomes viral.

The concert was being held in the auditorium, with 50,000 points for each ticket for students, and 70,000 points for adults. VIP seats in the front row were 80,000 points each for students and 100,000 points for adults, with a handshaking privilege.

And for the highest donor, they will get a handshake, autograph, and a selfie with Shizuku.

Sakura had already promised 100K points to the Music club members who helped her for both the recording and the concert combined, and watching the crowd, they couldn't help but curse themselves for agreeing to do all this for only 100K points.

The biggest donor, the Electronics Store Clerk, alone gave 1.8M points.

Everyone in Class B, C, and D of the first year came, except for Horikita.

And in class A, only 8-9 people came.

In the second year, Nagumo brought many of those in class D who didn't have much points for agreeing to become his slave. Not using this opportunity would be a waste.

And in the third year, almost half of class A came, while not many came from the other classes.

Some adults like Chabashira and Hoshinomiya sensei, employees of the mall and some stores, and some other staff also came.

After giving points to the Music club, Sotomura, rent for the auditorium, permission to use it for personal pirpose, using the speakers and other equipments, etc., Sakura had gotten 14.3 M points. Still 5.7 M points away from gathering 20M points.

She didn't expect this method to be so successful.

She took a deep breath, and got on the stage, wearing a bodycon dress, as opposed to an idol. She is not going to dance or aim to become an idol.

"Yahallo!

Thank you so much for everyone who has come here, and given me so much love.

I welcome you all to my first ever concert.

And tonight, I will release my second song in this concert first before officially on YouTube."

Everyone cheered, and Sakura was feeling a bit nervous. She has tried acting in her past life, though not very successful and getting the roles of mob or background dancers at most, it was years ago.

Still, she couldn't make any mistake here after getting so many points.

As the concert started, everyone turned silent. No wondee singers like to perform in Japan-

"Woo hoo!"

Yamauchi, Ike and Sudo shouted while waving glowing sticks, without a care.

Well... there are exceptions even in Japan.

Ignoring the Idiot Trio, she started the concert.

Idol (Japanese)

Orange (from the new anime Your Lie in April)

Tum Hi Ho (from Arijit Singh)

--break--

Idol (English)

and finally,...

Koenji handled the piano instead of the Music Club member.

He surprisingly agreed to be the pianist for this song for something else in payment instead of private points.

As Koenji started playing the piano, everyone was surprised by his skills. Sakura had tried out all kinds of instruments in her past life in order to try to become a celebrity, but she wasn't really that good at any.

Even the 'Idol' that she tried to recreate according to her memories sounded a bit different, both due to her voice and music.

But Koenji was playing the piano exactly as she had thought in her mind and given him some instructions on.

As her turn was about to come, she held the mic like a drunk.

The new song was Shinnonuga-E-wa.

-----------------------

As the concert ended, the crowd erupted in applause.

The handshaking event went without a hitch. Sakura didn't really think much of Nagumo being one of the several people who wasted his points to shake her hands.

But, it was time to give an autograph and have a selfie with the creep in canon.

He looked gross, but Sakura held her smile.

Shaking hands with him was not really a big deal. Autograph wasn't too.

But when it came to selfie, as she put one of her hands on his shoulder, he tried to grab her butt.

She slapped him instantly and Koenji grabbed him with ease.

"You are quite bold, trying to molest someone on the stage."

He ignored Koenji's voice, and looked at me in disbelief.

"How dare you slap your biggest fan!?"

I slapped him once more, and actually called the police.

Everything was being recorded for being posted later on YouTube, and it will certainly gain a lot of attention.

"Who do you think you are? Trying to molest someone? Just because you think you are my 'biggest fan'?

Creeps like you belong to the jail. I am not your possession or anything that you delude yourself with, self-proclaimed fan. If you were actually a fan, you will never even try to do this to me! You want a selfie, huh?"

I gave him a selfie, with him being held on the ground by Koenji. As the photo came out from the instant camera, I signed it,

'To the first creep I encountered, congratulations on getting arrested!

-Shizuku'

I then gave the selfie to him, watching him struggle as the school staff took him from Koenji's hands.

I faced the camera, which was recording the concert to be uploaded later on YouTube.

"Thank you for being with the concert. Well, until next time!"

As I saw Chabashira-sensei coming to the backstage, probably telling me to not upload the last part, to save ANHS's reputation, I realised that I will cross the 20M points mark today itself.

My legs are shaking a bit, but the concert was worth it.
