[AUTHOR NOTE: It's the start of a new month, so I would first of all like to thank all of you who have picked up S.P.E.C.T.O.R and are enjoying it. So thank you all very much. I always enjoy reading your comments and reviews, and since I am so new to writing novels, I try to take even the criticism as a learning experience.... I did say try lol.
Regarding reviews, if you ever have a spare few minutes that you're not busy, could I possibly ask that you throw up a review, since that improves the chance of the novel being discovered.... aparently.
And finally, the shameless plug section, don't forget there are 40 more chapters to read over on my Patreon or SubscribeStar (Links to which are at the bottom of the page).
Thanks again for reading, and now on with the chapter.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): How is she so good at singing?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): Oh, another new viewer from Earth arrived.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Talk about good timing.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Diva Lorelie's a Merinmian and the number one singer in the known universe currently, you didn't expect her to be bad, right?]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): Diva Lorelie? Merinmian? Known Universe?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Poor Earthling doesn't seem to understand. Maybe someone should explain.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Wait, isn't CEOHopkins the user ID Emma Hopkins uses on social media?]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): The Emma Hopkins who owns both Hopkins Bank and the Blue Lagoon Club?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): You mean the woman whose club he invaded when he crashed that part back when he first started streaming?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): I remember her, so she's now here in the chat, how interesting.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Oh boy, is this another possible harem member appearance? Kekeke.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Miss Hopkins, have you just been granted access to the stream?]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): That's correct, I had it previously, back when the mysterious streamer delivered Melanie Gatz to me at the Blue Lagoon Club; however, I lost access almost straight away and have only just now received a notification to watch it again.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): How interesting. Could it be because the streamer's first name was revealed?]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): First name? Do you mean Adam?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): That's correct, maybe it is because of that.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Miss Hopkins, how did you discover the streamer's first name? We who have been watching his stream only just found out.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): After his disappearance after killing Viktor and Francis Morose, I, along with the leaders of the five families, investigated who the mysterious individual could be and soon discovered who he was and why he was targeting all those people. It turned out that Viktor Morose had framed him for the murder of his girlfriend.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Wait, murder of his girlfriend?]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): What the fuck, the Phoenix Empress?]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): 😱]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Malgath mentioned in the recent episode of The MMM Show that she had appeared in that post Eri made and revealed Adam's name; however, I never expected her to appear in the stream chat.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): What Phoenix Empress?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): There are Phoenixes now?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Hello again, Empress Revi.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Hello Lord Malacoss. Now, CEOHopkins, would you mind explaining what this whole 'murder of his girlfriend' is about?]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): I would be happy to, as long as you don't mind explaining to me why he is swimming with Mermaids or Merinmian's or whatever?]
As Revi and Emma explained to each other, and the chat contributed what it knew, Lorelie finished her first song.
"Welcome, everyone, to the first show in my Genre Tour," Lorelie said happily with open arms, making the crowd cheer loudly in excitement.
"I'm so happy you could all make it both in person and live on Musiccast. I hope you all enjoy my new songs that I have to sing for you, but first, a surprise."
As she finished speaking, the crowd murmured with curiosity at what the surprise could be until they saw her lips move, after which her outfit started to change.
The audience in the Royal Palace arena, as well as the viewers watching on both the Holocast and Adam's stream, watched in shock as the clothes Lorelie wore started to shimmer and move while changing colour.
The hotpants extended until they covered half of her tail, while the crop top extended to fully cover her upper half, and the jacket also extended down to look more like a suit jacket, while the entire outfit turned black.
As the change finished, music once again started up.
💫💫💫
"What on Darah was that?" Rowena asked in shock as she witnessed Lorelie's outfit changing on its own.
"That was soooo cool, how did she do that?" Tephe asked with excitement.
"I have never heard of an outfit being able to change form like that," Erkath stated in surprise.
"How impressive," Senator Pevaphio stated with interest before turning to King Osharus and asking. "Is this a new invention of the Merinmians, your majesty?"
"Not that I'm aware of," King Osharus replied before turning to Jacques and asking, "Jacques?"
"I am as much in the dark regarding this as you are, my king," Jacques replied in amazement.
💫💫💫
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): What was that?]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Her outfit just changed, right? I'm not seeing things right?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): You're not, and it did.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): This is indeed surprising, just as Diva Lorelie said.]
[Animefangirl (Earth): OMG, she's like a magical girl, that's so Anime.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): Is it common for people to change clothes like that in space?]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): No, no, it's not. Though it does vaguely resemble something I saw a long time ago in another life.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Care to tell us more, Empress Revi?]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): It kind of looked reminiscent of how the streamer's armour changes when his wings or tail appear and disappear.]
[KorVET: (Alph Omega): It almost seemed as if her outfit was alive for a moment.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Are you suggesting that the streamer gave her… whatever that was?]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): I don't have enough information to go on to give a definite answer, but right now that would be my guess.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Seriously, where does the streamer keep getting all this new advanced tech we have never seen?]
💫💫💫
"My word, can one of you please explain to me what just happened with Diva Lorelie's outfit?" The female Merinmian Musiccast presenter asked the guests who were joining us.
"I have no idea."
"I'm an expert in music, not clothing tech or whatever that was."
"Regardless of what it was, I think Diva Lorelie just brought something new to the music scene again."
"Not just the music scene, anything involving changing clothes quickly will be affected."
💫💫💫
"Oh, I so need to get her on the show again to ask her about what her clothes just did," Malgath said in excitement.
"Hehe, good luck with that, dear. Something tells me Diva Lorelie isn't planning to reveal this secret anytime soon." Malgath's wife, Princess Ulesse, said after giggling.
"What makes you say that, dear?"
"Call it women's intuition."
💫💫💫
"So did you all like my surprise?" Lorelie asked as she finished her next song, causing the crowd to once more burst into cheers.
"I'm glad because there's more," Lorelie said before everyone once again saw her lips move before her outfit moved.
This time her outfit transformed into a long golden dress that reached down much of her tail and sparkled as light hit it before the music once again started.
💫💫💫
"It did it again, it did it again," Tephe said as she bounced up and down in her chair.
"It did indeed. Just how many different outfits can whatever that is change into?" Rowena asked in shock.
💫💫💫
Adam floated in the water and watched Lorelie's performance from the side of the stage while shaking his head at how she decided to use the Form Bracelet.
He had to admit that it was a very good idea and saved a lot of downtime for the audience who would normally have to wait for the singer or group to get changed.
He listened to Lorelie singing while keeping an eye out for any potential threats, while he once again marvelled at how good her voice was and how she managed to make every Earth song she sang sound better than the original.
As he listened, Adam glanced at his chat and was surprised to see that both Revi and Emma Hopkins had appeared in the chat. While Revi's appearance wasn't so strange since he had interacted with her back in the past and several times since returning to the future, Emma Hopkins' appearance was very surprising. Adam had thought he would never interact with her again since he had long left Earth, so he sent Spector a message on his uniband.
[[Why has Emma Hopkins suddenly been allowed access to the stream?]]
[[She was originally granted access for a short period when you where back on Earth and taking the individual known as Melanie Gatz to the Blue Lagoon Club, but was then denied access again until now.]]
[[Why?]]
[[It was deemed that she had a high possibility of discovering your identity in the two years that you were in stasis, and it would be problematic if she revealed your identity as soon as you arrived in the known universe.]]
[[I see, are you going to tell me what the parameters are for joining the stream?]]
💫💫💫
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Damn bastards, killing an innocent girl who only wanted to be with her love and then framing it on that love.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Unfortunately, it's not such a surprising thing as similar things happen everywhere.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): I know, but I'm still pissed at it.]
