"Let's go. You have a good memory. You can recite Meruru's theme song on the way. You should be able to remember it, right?"
"Well, of course~"
We hired a low-key and restrained business car with a very good interior environment in advance, as well as a middle-aged driver, and set off!
Inside the car, two people sat leisurely.
"This is the new costume I designed last night. The original Meruru costume was too revealing, I wouldn't allow it. This one is actually very cute too..."
"My belly button~... is it exposed?"
Hanyu Mochizuki interrupted impatiently: “Just show it to me.”
I continued to think, "I'll have to touch it carefully in the future to feel it myself."
"Then will I only be able to wear conservative swimsuits when swimming in the future?" Kurusu Kanako blinked her eyes, thinking a lot, and suddenly began to consider issues related to the future.
"It's okay if you want to wear something too revealing—"
"No! I don't want to hear you say..."
Kanako Kurusu lowered her eyes with a dead look on her face, indicating her refusal to listen.
“That’s fine,” Hanyu Mochizuki shrugged, not caring. “There’s not much to pay attention to. It’s detailed on the itinerary, and the staff will patiently explain it to you later…”
As she squinted her eyes and listened to the chatter, Kanako Kurusu's little heart was slowly melting.
Warm, soft, uncontrollable trance.
I felt indescribable happiness in a trance~
Knowing that rejection would have no effect, she naturally chose to accept it, and secretly decided to do her best!
"Just singing a song?"
"There's also a simple dance that's easy to understand, and I also hired a little girl to play the role of Alpha..."
"Wait!" Kurusu Kanako, who was originally listening attentively, shuddered, "Is she really a little girl?"
The corners of Hanyu Mochizuki's eyes twitched, and his expression was so stiff that he could hardly speak: "...Yes. So, how much do you distrust me?"
"Hey, hey, no~ no~" Kurusu Kanako winked playfully and responded quickly in a delicate, honey-filled voice.
So fake!
Without further hesitation, Hanyu Mochizuki continued, "The venue is a large venue next to the Big Sight in Tokyo, which can accommodate nearly 3,000 people. The participants..."
"Otaku. A severe otaku..." Kanako Kurusu interrupted and added with a look of regret.
“What do you think?” Hanyu Mochizuki retorted, “Only people like this would take the time to come here after hearing the news! Fortunately, Meruru is popular enough…”
"It's so annoying. No need to talk about it." Kurusu Kanako blocked her ears impatiently.
Hanyu Mochizuki had a look of laughter on his face.
It's useless to prepare thoroughly in one night. You need to be the bravest among the brave.
However, being watched by a bunch of otakus is really troublesome. You must have strong willpower!
But isn't that what the so-called idol path is? He wanted to see how far Kurusu Kanako could go.
"Even if they're not otakus, they're almost there," Hanyu Mochizuki said gently, "You see, fans of popular idols are normal, right?"
"Hmm... Yeah... Your mood swings are really intense, but Kanako will definitely adjust~~"
"Really? If you are indeed born to be an idol, I will definitely support you! And then..."
With Kanako Kurusu looking touched.
Hanyu Mochizuki chuckled: "This way you can realize the dream you always yelled at me at the beginning..."
"To support you?"
The touched expression disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Kanako Kurusu showed an indifferent expression.
With a hearty laugh, Hanyu Mochizuki gently hugged the loli who was mumbling and complaining softly, and was very happy.
Just like that, the atmosphere remained peaceful.
Until you reach your destination...
Chapter 205 Chapter Performance Preparation and the First Fan
It's still early.
Mochizuki Hanyu took Kanako Kurusu to familiarize herself with the venue, and... got to know some staff members, AKB48 interns, etc.
This took quite a while.
Around 11:35.
It was almost time for lunch, and the event officially started at 2pm, which was still enough time.
"When the light comes on for the second time, the shaking of your head should be gentler, and a stronger light will shine on you at that time. Pay attention. We will rehearse it later. Try the shaking of your head first..."
“Hmm…Is that so?”
The beautiful reddish brown smooth hair sways, making her look smart, naughty and lively...
Full of the vitality that a young girl should have, OK!
Especially that innocent and ignorant bright smile, it’s absolutely perfect!
"Sure. Also, when you hear that violent heavy metal background music, you need to do your movements thoroughly, forcefully, and even exaggeratedly. Anyway, that is the key moment to leave a deep impression on the audience..."
"Got it~"
Kanako Kurusu kept nodding her head obediently like a chick pecking at rice. She was so serious that the food in her mouth almost tasted tasteless.
"Time is too tight, so you have to work harder." Hanyu Mochizuki kept talking about related work and gave a word of comfort from time to time.
Since I still have some confidence in Kurusu Kanako, I put some pressure on her.
After all, so-called "idols" work very hard in secret.
In this "Idol Warring States Period", countless boys and girls regard it as their lifelong dream and strive for it, and are willing to endure hardships to an incredible degree.
The huge member base, while driving the industrial chain, also contains countless tearful stories of young men and women behind the scenes.
Hanyu Mochizuki didn't know if Kurusu Kanako really had that much perseverance, so he decided to add a little difficulty~
"Any more?"
"That's all for now. You'd better ask the choreographer for some more details later."
"Okay, I'll eat faster then! Kanako also needs to work hard to become as brilliant as the official members of AKB48~"
"Set a small goal, like Maeda Atsuko."
Kurusu Kanako's eyes were charming, but she still pouted: "...Okay, but don't spread it around. Unconfident challenge declarations are annoying~"
"Haha..." Hanyu Mochizuki couldn't help but laugh.
You still understand it very well!
In fact, Kurusu Kanako rarely uses honorifics in her daily life. To put it simply, she is completely casual and disrespectful.
But during the social event just now, he knew how to behave and was polite, and his words and actions were appropriate.
It can be said that he is a fairly qualified actor.
If I were to be an idol, I'd probably be qualified.
The childish little face looked very serious and solemn. Kanako Kurusu ate while watching the performance.
Hanyu Mochizuki did not stop him. Half a day was indeed a bit of a waste, but wasn’t this a pretty good test?
Besides, Kanako Kurusu knows some acting knowledge, and the dream she often talked about before was not just nonsense.
"By the way, I always feel like there's not enough time. Is this Kanako's illusion?"
"No, this is my surprise. Don't you think you've had a very fulfilling day today?"
"This filling surprise is really disturbing, I'd better finish eating it quickly..."
Feeling pressured, Kurusu Kanako rolled her eyes at Hanyu Mochizuki and buried her head in her food.
He stopped talking halfway through the sentence, but Hanyu Mochizuki understood what he meant. He probably planned to do the preparations after filling his stomach.
Without thinking too much, Hanyu Mochizuki started eating with all his might.
It took a while, but the two of them soon arrived at the venue again.
Hanyu Mochizuki was watching Kurusu Kanako's rehearsal not far away, thinking about some related matters.
Kurusu Kanako does have many advantages, especially the advantages that are essential for an idol - not being stage-frightened, having a good memory, being able to act cute... and especially the key point that she looks like Meruru.
He also didn't know why this magical girl animation was so popular and why there were so many middle-aged greasy men obsessed with it.
"Please take care of it, Miss Hoshino."
Likewise, Hanyu Mochizuki also had to thank some people who were important to the performance.
The black-haired girl with twin ponytails in front of me is about college age. Her name is Hoshino Kurara. She gained great popularity for voicing the protagonist Meruru in the anime "Stardust☆Magic Meruru".
This time, Hanyu Mochizuki paid a little price to let her come to be the host. Fortunately, her schedule was not full, otherwise it would not be lively enough.
To be honest, the unknown AKB48 trainee is not as influential as this voice actor.
I can't help but feel emotional. Maybe Xiao Qihai will also have this day in the future~
"It's not a big deal~" Hoshino Kura smiled faintly, "I can also use it as an appetizer for the fans' appreciation ceremony before the third season of "Meruru" is broadcast~"
A very confident answer~ Indeed, this woman was the host of the first two seasons, and she has the tone to say these things~
"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule."
Hoshino Kulala humbly shook her head and said, "Thank you for the compliment, it's not true."
And at the end, she looked at him meaningfully for a long while, "Hanyu-kun is very caring towards Kanako-chan."
"Haha, I don't deny that. I feel like I should probably pamper her well throughout my life." Hanyu Mochizuki admitted generously.
He is not afraid at all of being accused of being a lolita complex.
“Hmm…” Hoshino Kura looked at Hanyu Mochizuki who was showing a smug look in her eyes, and said faintly, “Kanako-chan will definitely be very happy in the future.”
Hanyu Mochizuki smiled and didn't say anything else. "Sister, you seem to have too many questions. Just be a good tool!"
As if noticing some of Hanyu Mochizuki's complaints, Hoshino Kurara smiled and said, "I'm going to do the preparations first. Hanyu-kun, just be Kanako-chan's number one fan~"
Looking down at his cheering suit, Hanyu Mochizuki nodded with satisfaction and gave Hoshino Kura a thumbs up: "It's perfect!"
He is not only standing at the front of the stage, but also the so-called "No. 1 fan", as it is written in big letters on his clothes~
After saying goodbye politely, Hanyu Mochizuki walked to the window and looked through the transparent glass at the bustling crowd of people wearing the same pink cheering uniforms as him. It was quite impressive.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little pity for the AKB48 trainees who were training hard on the other side. He always felt that these people were a bit like extras.
Forget it, forget it ~ It’s not easy for everyone.
However, there was a moment when he was indeed thinking - was it a loss to spend money to hire these people?
Ahem, it's hard to tear it apart~
Chapter 206 Chapter Jealousy and Temptation ~
2 pm.
The main stage in the center of the venue was already packed with people!
First up was Hoshino Kulala’s “Voice Actor Talk Show,” which attracted many “Meruru” fans and livened up the atmosphere.
By the way, the live singing and dancing performance of the theme song of "Melulu", Kanako's main performance, will be around 2:~
And in the independent, curtained lounge.
"Wow... this is great~ the taste is really good~ it turns out fruit flavored cigarettes can be really good~"
"Yeah, I heard you complain before, so I picked a type that I thought would suit your taste."
