Chapter 332: A Tipsy State Is Better for Swaying!
A white Nissan Patrol slowly pulled up below the apartment building.
Ryohei sent a LINE message to Yusa, and not long after, she came down with her sister.
"Konbanwa."
With this greeting, Yusa opened the passenger door and leaned in, bringing with her a fresh and elegant fragrance as she sat down.
She closed the door deftly, turned to look at Ryohei, and a smile rippled in her eyes: "How is it? Does it look good?"
"Hmm... very beautiful."
A beige knit sweater gently outlined her full bust line, and a black high-waisted A-line skirt further cinched her waist, allowing her long, snow-white legs to be fully revealed under the hem, exuding both elegance and sexiness.
Slung across her body, a palm-sized Chanel bag added a touch of fashion.
Different from usual, her hair was tied into a ponytail that draped over her chest, which was also a plus.
"Dressed so beautifully, you'll definitely turn a lot of heads when we go out." Ryohei was slightly stunned by Yusa's beauty.
Yusa covered her lips lightly with her hand, saying happily, "Then Ryohei-kun must protect me well later."
"Of course!"
"..." Koji, standing in the back, held onto the seat and pawed at Ryohei with her hand.
When he turned around, she widened her eyes and looked at him expectantly.
Ryohei understood instantly. He looked her up and down and praised, "Koji-kun's outfit is very cute too."
She was wearing a teddy bear sweater with a cute bow at the collar, paired with a black pleated skirt.
Ugly-cute, ugly-cute...
Koji's eyes immediately curved into two crescents, grinning so widely her eyes disappeared.
"Alright, let's go to Shimokitazawa first." Ryohei turned back, said a word, and released the handbrake...
Hatsune Miku's underground concert was held in a live house called "Starry Sky."
The venue was located on the first basement level, connected to the ground only by a staircase. Although the interior wasn't particularly large, it had everything—a stage in the center, and functional areas like a drink stand on the side.
When Ryohei arrived with Yusa and Koji, there were still fifteen minutes left before the concert started.
Quite a few spectators had already gathered in the venue, mostly male. Many wore headbands with "Miku" written on them—hardcore fans at a glance.
Ryohei noticed that others were holding glow sticks. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the merchandise area and suggested to Yusa and Koji, "Let's go buy some glow sticks."
"As for drinks, I have cocktails and fruit tea prepared... of course, if you want to drink what they have here, that's fine too."
"I want a cocktail."
Yusa held Koji's hand and followed with light steps.
"You lush," Ryohei teased with a smile.
"What do you mean! Didn't Ryohei-kun prepare it?" Yusa looked at Ryohei reproachfully.
Ryohei joked, "Because I know you're a lush, I specially prepared cocktails."
"Well, thank you very much then!"
"You're welcome."
Ryohei waved his hand with feigned modesty.
By this time, they had arrived at the stall. After the customer in front finished buying and left, Ryohei stepped forward and said to the staff inside, "Six glow sticks, please."
"Okay."
The staff member responded and turned to get them.
Ryohei leaned forward, looked at Koji on the other side of Yusa, and asked, "Does Koji-kun want a drink?"
"...No."
Koji glanced up at the menu and shook her head gently.
"..." Ryohei didn't hear her clearly, but seeing her shake her head, he guessed her meaning. He took out his wallet and paid for the six glow sticks.
He distributed two to each person, and then everyone squeezed towards the front together.
Underground concerts usually didn't have seats; everyone stood to watch. With Koji's height, if they didn't squeeze to the front row, she would probably only see people's backs.
Fortunately, the show hadn't started yet, and people were standing relatively dispersed, otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to squeeze through...
Time flew, and it was eight o'clock.
The lights in the venue suddenly went out. At the same moment, the stage was lit up by dazzling lights. The originally noisy space instantly quieted down, everyone's eyes focused on the stage.
"Minna-san, Konbanwa!"
Holding a green onion, Hatsune Miku walked out lightly from behind the curtain, enthusiastically waving the emerald green onion in her hand.
"Miku! Miku—!"
The audience below shouted in unison, raising their glow sticks high, forming a swaying sea of light.
The scene was extremely infectious, making Ryohei, Yusa, and even Koji unconsciously raise their glow sticks and wave them gently with the crowd.
On stage—
Hatsune Miku blossomed into a smile amidst the enthusiastic cheers, standing in the center of the stage full of vitality:
"Tonight, let's use all our strength to ignite the best time! This stage will be completely filled with our passion and your shouts!"
"Do you remember that song? That moment that made your heart flutter—will be recreated tonight!"
After speaking, Hatsune Miku raised a slender white finger and pressed it lightly against her lips, making a shushing gesture—the whole venue instantly quieted down in tacit understanding!
The music started!
Hatsune Miku swayed her body gently to the rhythm of the music, then sang the first line:
"The fragments of stars shining in the sky"
"Gather together to make a ring of light"
"..."
The first song was none other than "Hoshi no Kakera" (Star Fragments)!
As Hatsune Miku's "first sound," this song could be called a classic among classics; Ryohei had heard it even before transmigrating.
Using starlight as imagery, the song conveyed warm emotions through an ethereal melody and soft vocals. It was evaluated as the "starting point of the legend" and was often used as the opening or closing song for concerts.
Standing in front of the stage, watching the live-action Hatsune Miku and listening to the live performance of "Hoshi no Kakera", Ryohei unconsciously immersed himself in it.
"..." Yusa glanced sideways slightly, looked at Ryohei with some surprise, then lowered her head—her gaze sweeping over Koji, who was waving glow sticks between them.
She pursed her lips in a smile and also began to sway gently to the rhythm of the music.
After two songs, Yusa poked Ryohei lightly with her glow stick. When he looked over, she leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Ryohei-kun, I'm thirsty."
Ryohei casually grabbed a cocktail for her, and a fruit tea for Koji. After a thought, he grabbed a cocktail for himself as well.
Originally, Ryohei wanted to drink fruit tea since he had to drive later, but now that the mood was high, he wanted to drink alcohol more!
A tipsy state was better for swaying!
