It may be because the ticket comes with a seat number, so there is no need for people to rush to grab a seat in advance, so the queue for ticket inspection at the main entrance is not very long.
Ayanami is the shortest and the quietest. If she stood at the back of the line, she would become invisible, so Su Xin pulled her to the front of her.
The awesome and joyful mood lasted all the way and was still high. She and New Jersey stood diagonally behind the little conductor, one on the left and one on the right, so that they could talk conveniently while complying with the WIFI signal arrangement rules.
"I know you haven't been exposed to this kind of music before, so the band I picked this time is of a gentler style. Don't worry."
"Not only are they very nice people, but their story of forming a band is also very inspiring! I heard that they met in high school and attended the same school. By chance, they met the number of members required for the club, so -"
New Jersey felt something was not right, and after a moment's hesitation he asked, "Are they all girls?"
Kewei was stunned, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, so you know them? It's not easy for five girls to form a band, and many things happened along the way.
"...Wait, drums, keyboards, bass, primary and secondary guitars... You're not talking about..."
"Um?"
"That's it..." New Jersey hesitated for a while, then raised his hand and shouted, "K...K-ON!"
Kewei blinked, then took New Jersey's arm and laughed, comforting him in the face of his embarrassment: "Actually, it's not wrong. Fans do call them that sometimes."
"After all, the team configuration is the same, and their experience is similar, but they are all in their twenties, and their style is also different from the light music club you mentioned."
"So it's okay to call it that as a joke, but if you really think that way, you'll be boycotted by fans, right? Because in their hearts, idols are definitely unique."
New Jersey nodded to show his understanding. Su Xin didn't listen the whole time. She raised her hand and kept touching the mechanical horn on Ayanami's head.
Kewei was used to this and knew that forcing the introduction of the novel would be counterproductive, so he simply turned around and started talking to New Jersey, listing the similarities between the anime and reality.
Ayanami is quite helpless. Not only does she not talk much, but she is constantly touched. But you let her touch you, and even ask her questions from time to time. Who goes out together to study science?
"So it has feelings? Do you feel itchy when I touch you like this?"
"......Won't."
"What's the use of that? It doesn't look like a hearing-enhancing device... Is it an antenna?"
"...scouting..."
"It's amazing. I want to try the feeling of having a device on my head."
New Jersey took the time to answer after hearing this: "You can ask Yubari-sensei to make ears for you. The tail has already been made, so the ears should be no problem, right?"
Su Xin shook her head. "She said that the brain's neural structure is too complicated to add any device at will. It's more convenient to do it near the coccyx, so it's much easier."
"Ah, that's a pity. I also want to see the cat girl version of Su. I'm sure it will suit you very well!" New Jersey, who still didn't know that his college classmate was a superman, sighed to himself.
Su Xin didn't know how to respond to this topic. Fortunately, it was their turn to check the tickets soon, and New Jersey didn't seem to want to continue expressing his feelings. The four of them took out their cell phones and successfully entered the venue.
Compared to the simple exterior structure, the space inside is much larger. The venue they entered seemed to be specially used for holding events, and there was no obstruction at a glance.
The stage is at the farthest point in the field of vision. At this moment, there are only musical instruments and microphones on it. The lights are off. The backstage is probably adjusting the sound system and playing a rhythmic accompaniment.
There are various small stalls closer to the site. At a glance, you can see a wide range of products, from [Octopus Balls] to [Genuine Peripheral Goods].
Because the highlight of today is the concert, vendors everywhere display various styles of cheering signs and cheering sticks, and people coming and going also hold one or two in their hands to show their enthusiasm.
Kewei was a little envious of this, but cheering loudly was obviously contrary to the royal family's usual elegant style, so she just watched.
This time she was still envious. After sighing in her heart, she was about to take the other three to sit in front of the stage, but was stopped by the little conductor and New Jersey.
Su Xin: "If you like it, buy it. Since you are here now."
New Jersey: "Yeah, we're here to have fun, so of course we have to have fun. Come on, let's go and pick something."
Kewei: “Huh? But…”
New Jersey waved his hand, "It's okay. Who knows who at night? When the concert starts, maybe no one will be able to hear you if you confess here."
As if something had stabbed him, Kewei's ears turned red with embarrassment. Then he perked up and took the lead to rush towards the vendor.
Outside the venue, there were many excited fans waiting in line.
They gathered together to talk about the idol's voice, the lyrics of their favorite songs, and the harmonious relationship between the members. They were happily talking when they were suddenly interrupted by a female voice.
"Excuse me, what kind of event is going to be held in the venue today?"
“Huh? You don’t even know what activities are—” Halfway through the sentence, the fan finally saw the person who asked him the question, “Ah, big, big sister, hello…”
"Hello, I was just passing by and saw that it was very lively here, so I came to ask about the situation. Am I disturbing you?"
"Ah, no, no! We were just chatting casually. Today? Ah, today is the concert of the hottest rock band right now. We are all their fans, so we came here to support them!"
"Rock band...?"
"Yeah! Big sister, do you want to get to know them? They are all very hardworking girls. They sing very well, and -"
"Well, I will. I won't bother you anymore. Thank you."
"No, you're welcome!"
After watching the white-haired beauty walk away, the little fan covered his chest and shared his feelings with others, "She is so beautiful! Even with white hair! She still has such a great figure!!"
"Yes, yes, and her voice is so gentle, just like my big sister who always supports me in everything I do!"
"It would be great if she could debut... I would definitely support her!"
"Ah... I'm just thinking about it. Looking at the expression, movements and way of speaking of that big sister, she must be the type of young lady. How can she sing..."
"Yeah, yeah, where were we just now? Oh yeah, they are such a good couple!!"
Inside the venue, Su Xin, who had finally found a seat while carrying a bunch of things, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Kewei who was playing with the [Changeable Light Version Cheering Stick] next to her, and wanted to awaken his conscience with her cold eyes, but it was no use, and she was only left with dry eyes.
New Jersey on the other side took his seat and helped take over most of the items, which gave the young conductor some breathing space. He stared in a daze at the signboards, posters and surroundings in his arms.
I have to say, the purchasing power is really terrifying. She should have been on guard last time she went shopping, but she didn't remember this time and was dragged along shopping and bought everything.
“So why not put it in space?”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kewei helped the young commander to tidy up his hair in a good mood, and took the light board from his arms, "If your identity as a ship girl is discovered, it will definitely be very troublesome, right?"
Su Xin was silent for a moment, then struggled and said, "So you just stuffed it all into me?"
"Ayanami is so cute, are you willing to let her bear all this? New Jersey is a guest, how can she help you get things? As for me... I paid for the ticket, don't you think you can do nothing for free?"
"........."
"Okay, okay, give it to me. Seriously, you were the one who persuaded me to buy these things."
Su Xin sighed, "I regret it."
Kewei pretended not to hear and happily looked through the peripherals. At the end, he sighed: "Luckily, the tickets that Boss Ming grabbed were consecutive numbers, otherwise it would be meaningless."
Indeed, it is definitely more pleasant for four people to sit together than to attend a concert with strangers. As for who the fifth ticket was given to, we will know when we see who sits next to New Jersey.
There were still about ten minutes before the concert officially started, and almost all the empty seats were occupied, with only the seat next to New Jersey still empty.
Kewei leaned over to take a look, a little disappointed, "Is it possible that I can't come... I thought I could make friends with people who share the same interests as me."
"Did you distinguish them when you delivered them? Didn't they fall into the hands of scalpers again?" the young commander asked her casually.
This made Kewei feel that his intelligence was insulted, "How is it possible! I specially picked the Kancolle forum to post it, and the recipients must be Kancolle, there are not so many unscrupulous merchants."
That's true. Su Xin nodded and stopped paying attention to it, looking up at the brightly lit stage.
With the screams of fans around them, five women of varying heights walked onto the stage and bowed to the dark audience below.
[Hello everyone, welcome to our concert. There are so many people who support us... Thank you so much—]
"Wow, it's started, it's started!"
Kewei turned on the cheering stick, blended in with the crowd around him, waved the light in his hand with a bright smile, and cheered for the five people on the stage who began to tune their instruments and prepare to sing the first song.
It's obvious that Ayanami's love is not just lip service. Although she doesn't shout out loud like the others, her straight back and the light stick swaying to the rhythm also show her love.
New Jersey belongs to the White Eagle, and has an easy-going personality and a strong ability to accept things. He was startled by the loud volume at first, but later found that it was not as loud as the main gun firing, so he immersed himself in it.
Only Su Xin blinked and looked at the noisy crowd around her.
The scene is indeed more exciting than the sound source, and the emotional rendering cannot be compared with listening to music alone at home, but for her, the speakers at full power are indeed a bit ear-shaking.
The song was nice and the voice was great, but unfortunately Su Xin couldn't hear it any more, so she simply turned around and looked at the cheering ship girls around her.
As he was watching, the young commander suddenly noticed that someone was sitting next to New Jersey.
Long light yellow hair and familiar twin ponytails. Under the flickering light, for a moment, Su Xin thought she saw Anchorage, which shocked her.
But upon closer inspection, she found that the lively expression was very different from An Bao's tender and gentle appearance. She blinked, realized that she had recognized the wrong person, and immediately looked away, with a little emotion.
The song ended and the restless notes paused for a while. Kewei, with a red face, had time to share his feelings with his friends. He turned around and saw someone sitting next to New Jersey. He was stunned.
"Ah... you are the one... [Bulu, not Lu Bu], right?"
"Eh? How come...oh! You are [over 100 but not over 200], right? Thank you for the ticket! Are the numbers consecutive? Too good!"
Facing the subtle gazes of the other three people, Kewei put his hand on the little commander's thigh, leaned over to talk to him, and finally successfully added his contact information, happily gaining a like-minded person.
When making the note, Su Xin couldn't help her curiosity and wanted to move closer to take a look. Kewei pouted and said something to her in a sneer. Only then did she know the other person's name.
【Blücher】
She had never seen her, but she knew she was Hipper's sister and Eugen's older sister, but she looked younger than Eugen.
"Does the Hipper-class shipgirls age in reverse order? The older they get, the younger they look, and the younger they get, the more they look like their older sisters?"
Before Su Xin could figure it out, the music with dense drum beats sounded again, igniting the enthusiasm of the audience and interrupting her thoughts.
She watched everyone waving the lights in their hands, watched Ayanami smile with her lips pursed, watched New Jersey dive vertically into the pit, and watched Kewei shout something at her.
But the surroundings were too noisy and the volume was too high, so she couldn't hear anything. She only caught a glimpse of the other person's energetic smile under the flickering lights, and a red color on his face that she couldn't tell whether it was excitement or something else.
The concert lasted for an hour, and including occasional interactions, it was past nine o'clock when it ended and it was completely dark.
The fans were still reluctant to leave, lingering there, watching their idols packing up their things on the stage, chatting and waving to each other.
Ke Wei was very straightforward. After listening to the song, she sighed and prepared to leave. Su Xin asked her why she didn't have any regrets, and she smiled and said:
"I like their songs, but that doesn't mean I love them that much. Compared to them... Forget it, shall we go back quickly?"
"it is good."
It was still early in the royal dormitory, but Guanghui was the only one sitting in the hall. Even the maid was not there, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.
The joy in Kewei's body disappeared completely when he saw the lights on the first floor. After entering the room, when he saw his sister with a puzzled expression, he felt inexplicably nervous.
"Sister... I, didn't I tell you not to leave the light on for me..."
"It's still early." Guanghui smiled and looked up at his worried sister, "Kewei... I want to apologize to you first."
"Eh? What happened suddenly?"
"I was... worried that I wasn't doing well enough and wanted to get to know you better, so... I also went to the convention center."
Kewei was stunned, and emotions such as worry and fear rose in his heart, but they were suppressed by the puzzled look of the young commander when he expressed his true feelings not long ago.
"Tonight is perfect enough," she thought. "I couldn't be happier than this."
"So I should be honest. Even if my sister doesn't understand, I want to tell her. I want her to know that what I really like is—"
"Sister, I have something to-
"You like rock music, right?"
Kewei was stunned, then he pursed his lips and nodded. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Guanghui take out something from the space that was completely inconsistent with his image.
"Sister? That's..."
"I heard from Xie Fei that her name is... Beth, right? I don't know much about these things, or I know nothing about them at all? But I really want to do what I like with Kewei."
Guanghui paused and added: "Not only the things my sister likes, but also the things you like. This is what sisters are like, isn't it?"
Kewei blinked her eyes, stood there for a while, and then pounced towards her sister like a girl.
She kept rubbing against the other's softness, wiping away the moist corners of her eyes and all the distrust.
"Sister, I'm sorry... From now on, you are always welcome to visit my room!"
"Hehe, okay, be careful not to damage Xie Fei's piano. I borrowed it with great difficulty..."
"Oh, I didn't expect she likes this too. She's really a hidden talent."
"How dare you say that about others?"
"Oh, I know I was wrong~"
"Can you ask your sister to go with you next time?"
