Chapter 316 - 316

Chapter 316

It was just a natural choice for Karis.

When he heard about the plan for a prom party to celebrate the first anniversary, only one character came to mind.

The crown prince who had been doing it for 10 years and was confident that he could do it better than anyone else in the world.

Karis had also been diligently looking for the reactions of fans, so he wanted to use this opportunity to give Seleve a meaningful memory.

However, if there was one thing that Karis overlooked, it was that he didn't even know how much his influence had increased.

"Kneel. This is the eye level between you and me."

A passive skill that exerts a fraudulent influence on stage, 'Worship, and Revere.'

Karis knew how well this skill had captivated people's hearts even when it was a C-rank skill.

So when it rose to B-rank, he realized that the skill's effectiveness had become greater than he had thought. However, this was simply his appearance as an 'idol'.

Clothes that fit him perfectly.

Props that fit him perfectly.

And in the perfect atmosphere, the 'Worship, and Revere' skill dominated the hearts of everyone gathered at Gocheok Dome even more strongly.

"Em, Emperor."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

The members whose eyes were fixed on Karis' sword quickly lowered their postures against their will, and Seleves who were watching the scene also felt a strong impulse.

'Kneel, kneel-!'

They had felt this emotion before as well.

Having broken through the bloody ticketing and shown off her abilities, Karis's Homma realized that her mind was filled with thoughts of having to worship Karis.

It was the same when she first saw Karis.

When she first saw that noble face in , she felt the need to watch TV with a devout heart even though she was at home.

However, this was just a simple thought and desire that came to her mind.

Her reason did not even allow her to kneel.

But at this moment.

As she gazed at Karis, who was swinging his beautiful blood-red cloak and drawing his sword, her body tried to react before her brain.

Homma, who had lowered her posture in the standing area, realized what she was doing just before her knees touched the ground.

'I think I'm crazy!'

She really tried to kneel down to Karis in front of everyone.

Homma felt her face flush in an instant.

She lowered her head as much as she could and hurriedly got up.

She felt a strange presence on both sides of her.

'Huh?'

Homma turned her gaze to the side.

Then she noticed people quickly adjusting their postures just like her.

Not only her, but other Seleves who were standing also almost knelt down unconsciously.

Homma felt a sense of kinship and relief, but she was still dumbfounded.

'I didn't know I'd really kneel...........'

She turned her gaze back to the stage.

When she saw Karis nodding to the members and putting his sword back, her heart started beating fast again.

Homma tried to think of a reason, and rationalized her actions using the evidence that anyone could see.

'If there was a crown prince in reality, he would have a face like that.'

As Karis put away his sword, the members immediately got up from their crouching positions and began to swear.

"There was no one like this in our kingdom."

"........ There was only a pot-bellied old man."

"Haha, that's sad news."

Karis lightly laughed at Chae Eun-gyu and Ji Yoon-chul's words.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to my hometown. It's far north, but the scenery is beautiful."

"I'll go as soon as I get that heart!"

"I'll go as soon as I get the courage."

"Me too! I want to go too!"

While everyone's attention was focused on Karis, Song Hyung-bin looked at him with a questioning gaze while caressing his pipe.

"There's no way someone that perfect can exist in the world. No matter how I look at it, I'm suspicious."

"Hyungbin, you need to fix that attitude of doubting everything."

"Hey, Dr. Yubin! How can you say such harsh things to me! Are you saying I'm wrong?"

"No, that's not it."

"Okay, okay."

Karis applauded twice and comforted Song Hyungbin and Heo Yubin.

"Today is a good day, isn't it? It's a rare party, so don't blush so much and let's enjoy it together."

"You were the one who told me to kneel first."

"Ugh, ahem! Give me some music!"

With Song Hyungbin's appropriate ad-lib, the members' short skit ended.

As Karis requested, a musical-like accompaniment flowed out of the speakers.

The members sang the theme song of the animated film that was released last year and gained much popularity.

「It's a celebration

For a beautiful night

Let's all sing together

The festival starts now」

The second special stage that Seleste and Sigma Entertainment spent a lot of time and money preparing.

The costumes the members came up with were a delight to the eyes of Seleves, and the song recommended by Heo Yu-bin was also popular enough for all the audience to sing along.

In an instant, Gocheok Dome transformed into an exciting festival atmosphere.

「It's a wonderful night!」

The stage ended with the last verse where the seven members harmonized together.

As Seleves applauded loudly, the curtains on the LED screen were drawn and the stage went dark.

"VCR started!"

"120 seconds left!"

The backstage atmosphere changed into an urgent one again.

The members who had skillfully changed into their costumes took a deep breath and prepared for the next stage.

Just like any other stage, everyone had the determination to do well, but Heo Yubin was especially nervous.

"Yubin, do you remember the comment?"

"Yes, yes. Oh, maybe?"

"...No matter how I look at it, I feel uneasy."

"Ah, ahhhh, really, what should I do? I'm so nervous all of a sudden!"

"You're really going to forget everything if you do that."

The next stage is a preview of Seleste's first full-length album, which will be released in about two months.

The moment when Heo Yu-bin's self-composed song, , which was selected as the pre-released song, is shown to Seleves for the first time.

Heo Yu-bin, who was in charge of introducing the first full-length album and the songs, was suddenly very nervous.

Karis, who had seen Heo Yu-bin like this many times, knew the best solution.

Before saying anything else, he lightly patted Heo Yu-bin on the shoulder.

"It's okay, Yu-bin. Even if you forget in the middle, we'll naturally take care of it, so don't be nervous."

"......I'll try to make it as comfortable as possible!"

This time, Karis' special method was successful.

"The members are ready!"

The OK sign was given, and Seleste walked back onto the stage with powerful steps.

Although it had already been over an hour since the concert started, Seleves welcomed them with the same loud cheers.

"Seleve, are you enjoying it?"

"Yes-!"

Song Hyung-bin smiled brightly at Seleves and continued on.

"Before we start the next stage, our Yubin will give us a little spoiler."

"What kind of spoiler? What kind of spoiler?"

"I'm curious too!"

"Spoiler! Spoiler!"

As promised beforehand, the members enthusiastically caught the wind.

Heo Yubin swallowed dryly and picked up the mic.

Contrary to everyone's concerns, he didn't stutter and smoothly delivered the prepared comment to Seleves.

"We don't have an exact date yet! Our first full-length album will be released soon! Wow!"

Seleves felt both excitement and surprise at the news of the first full-length album.

Since they had only released mini-albums in succession, everyone thought that it was time for a full-length album to come out.

No one expected that this news would be delivered at a domestic concert.

"Until the next comeback, we will prepare really hard with our members and show you a good image, so please wait a little bit!"

The stage went dark again, and the members stood in the large formation that will be revealed for the first time at this concert.

Soon, a sophisticated dance pop accompaniment was played from the speakers, and Seleste moved their feet vigorously.

「Just misaligned pieces, just misaligned

uh-uh, missing pieces

Your afterimages just stab me

uh-uh, we're just a mismatch」

It felt like a foreign pop song, but it also seemed like the intense sound that Seleste boasts was mixed in.

Seleves knew very well that Heo Yubin's composing ability was amazing.

The that was shown last time was also really easy to listen to.

However, if at that time, idol fans immediately felt 'Ah, it's a track from an album!', this time it wasn't.

'This can't be the title track, right?'

The probability of a pre-released song being the title track is extremely low.

Knowing that, Seleves couldn't help but think this way.

That's how well-made was.

Watching the members taking flashy steps, Karis' Homma even thought this.

'If it's a regular album, could they really prepare a double title track? No, even so, are they releasing the real title track like this?'

A double title track release strategy that was once popular.

You can show the public a variety of music genres while making the most of the high-quality songs that are included in the album.

However, if you think about it rationally, it's not right to pre-release a title track that will determine the fate of a regular album like this.

In that case, Homma's head can only come to one conclusion.

'The title track is better than this!'

Her heart is pounding.

It's not just because she saw the members singing passionately on stage.

The future of the idols she support and love. This feeling that the future of the idols who are drawing an upward graph and rising to the top is filled with rosy colors.

The anticipation for the new album made Homma's heart race.

「uh-uh, we're just a mismatch」

The stage for the pre-released song from the first regular album ended with a splendid spark.

The stage went dark again with cheers erupting from all directions.

The starting point where the national managers who were watching officially turned into Seleves.

, which announced Seleste's music debut, filled Gocheok Sky Dome.

Karis' Homma smiled happily as he sang the chorus part with the members.

'Yes, it's after all!'

Even with the new title song, there is always a place in her heart for Seleste's debut song.

The seven members who performed passionately until the end felt the cheers of Seleves with their whole body as they held the ending pose of for a few seconds.

The bright lights indicating talk time turned on, and Song Hyung-bin took the mic while exhaling heavily.

"I feel like I'm back to my debut showcase. I don't know why I'm so nervous."

"I definitely think that the mindset is the most important thing for any stage. I felt like I went back to when I was a rookie."

"That means a lot of time has passed, right?"

The members nodded to Kang Si-yoon's words.

And the staff who were watching the timing prepared something busily according to Yeo Chang-min's instructions.

"Huh, huh?"

"Yoon-chul is crying!"

Soon, an unexpected situation unfolded on stage.
