Alice immediately dragged Erza and Lu Li out the door.
Onibus City was very bustling. If Magnolia was a fourth-tier city, then Onibus was at least a quasi-first-tier city.
The streets were crowded with people, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, offering everything to eat, drink, and play.
Alice, like a curious baby, bought this and that, and also bought a lot of things for Erza and Lu Li, making Lu Li deeply realize how happy it was to have a rich female friend.
But these two could shop too much. They hadn't stopped for the whole afternoon. Lu Li felt physically and mentally exhausted, but the two of them seemed fine. Lu Li finally realized how terrifying girls' stamina for shopping was.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the three of them returned to the hotel, worrying the old butler Sebas to death.
At night, Lu Li finally had time to cultivate magic properly.
Lu Li sat cross-legged on the bed, activating his Meditation technique. Flames burned on his body, and at the same time, he used Total Concentration 'Nameless Breathing'.
His physical fitness was strengthening rapidly.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The people who wanted to kidnap Alice didn't appear.
Alice triumphantly said the old butler worried too much. Lu Li and Erza, however, didn't relax their vigilance. The mission was mostly done; if they failed on the last day, they wouldn't get a single cent of the reward.
More importantly, it would make Fairy Tail lose face.
The concert started in the evening of the fourth day. Lu Li looked at the square from backstage and saw a sea of people outside.
"So many people!"
He didn't chase stars and had never been to a concert. He didn't expect there to be so many people.
Erza said from the side: "It's only natural that there are many people. Alice is the most popular singer in the Kingdom of Fiore. I heard that other countries invited Alice to hold concerts, but she refused."
"Why?"
"It seems because the king of that country is annoying. Not only is he a dictatorial lecher, but he also oppresses his citizens."
Erza and Alice had lived together for a few days. Girls naturally had endless topics to talk about, and the two were almost becoming best friends.
Soon, the concert began. As soon as Alice appeared on stage, the fans below shouted her name. After greeting all the fans, Alice began to sing.
Her singing was very beautiful, not inferior at all to those classic songs from his previous life.
He could hear a trace of Magic Power in Alice's voice. Accompanied by her singing, it had a very strong infectious power and could resonate with people.
Setting aside the influence of Magic Power, Alice was obviously a singing genius too.
Although Lu Li didn't chase stars, he listened to songs! Nice songs were nice.
It was just that listening was listening; he didn't remember a single song title.
For him, listening to a good song a few times was enough. To him, it was just that this song was nice.
Lu Li activated 'Dragon God Perception Method'. 'Dragon God Perception Method' had an advantage over Observation Haki: it was more sensitive to the perception of people with Magic Power.
Soon, Lu Li perceived multiple malicious intents appearing. The number was about 30 people.
If he guessed correctly, these people intended to kidnap Alice. After all, normal concert-goers were Alice fans; why would they harbor malice?
Lu Li said to Erza: "Erza, be careful, they are here."
"?!! Where?"
Erza was stunned. She knew Lu Li definitely wouldn't speak without reason; he must have discovered something.
"In the crowd."
"Who are they? I'll go take care of them."
Lu Li reached out and grabbed Erza: "Don't rush. If we act in the crowd now, it will definitely cause panic. If a stampede happens then, it won't be good."
"Then what should we do?"
"It won't be too late to act after they make their move."
"Alright!"
Erza nodded, her hand involuntarily tightening around her sword.
Currently, Erza was ultimately just a thirteen-year-old girl. She was a bit nervous encountering this kind of situation.
The two-and-a-half-hour concert was quickly coming to an end.
"Everyone! Thank you very much for listening to my singing. This last song, 'Tomorrow', is dedicated to everyone!"
"Do it!"
As soon as Alice's voice fell, many people suddenly appeared on the stage.
"Eh?!"
"What?"
"Is this a temporarily added program effect?"
...
Everyone in the audience looked confused.
"Grab her!"
The bodyguard captain reacted first, calling his subordinates to take action.
All the bodyguards rushed up, but they were all knocked down by the opponents in a few moves.
Alice was a little panicked: "Who... who are you people?!"
"Miss Alice, my boss likes you. Please trouble yourself to come with us."
Alice understood at this moment that these were the people who claimed they would kidnap her. She originally thought it was a joke played by anti-fans; she didn't expect it to be real.
"Take her away!"
Two people rushed towards Alice rapidly.
Swish!
A figure quickly appeared in front of Alice.
Slash!
"Ugh-ahhh!"
"Waahhhhh!"
The two kidnappers were directly slashed and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
Erza held her long sword, pointing at the opponents: "I won't let you hurt a single hair on Miss Alice's head."
"Erza!"
Alice was pleasantly surprised.
"Miss Alice, don't leave my back."
Erza saw that the other party actually had more than thirty people and instantly felt great pressure. She originally thought the other party would only have three to five people at most. She didn't expect there to be more than thirty, comparable to a small Mage Guild.
