### Chapter 1: Sightseeing Adventure
This is Qi Yuan City, the birthplace of various well-known entertainment works.
Many famous movies, anime series, games, and more all originate from here, earning it the title of a holy land for entertainment enthusiasts.
Countless enthusiasts gather in this city due to these elements, forming vibrant and large consumer groups.
Some even choose to live here, never leaving. Eating, drinking, and staying all take place within the city limits.
In short, it’s a very popular spot.
At the same time…
Yesternight Star, Void Rain White, and Lotus Flower trio arrived at the nearby entertainment district, strolling around and gathering information.
“Wow~ This is one of Qi Yuan City’s entertainment zones? Feels pretty neat.”
Yesternight Star looked left and right, her eyes filled with curiosity. If not for her two sidekicks, she’d be jumping around like a giddy child, exploring everywhere.
Void Rain White was observing as well.
“Yesternight Star, this place seems to be the film and television entertainment zone.”
“Huh? Film and television zone? Is that something related to films?”
“Yeah.”
Speaking of which, this city’s entertainment zones aren’t as multifaceted as those in Yun Chang City. Instead, they specialize:
For example, Qi Yuan City has five different entertainment zones corresponding to film and television, music, gaming, food, and calligraphy/painting.
The zone where Yesternight Trio are currently roaming focuses on film and TV, involving movies, anime series, and video content—essentially the main draw.
Though there are other entertainment elements here, in comparison to film and TV, they’re few and far between, serving more as supplementary features to fill in gaps.
“Mmm~ Film huh? I do enjoy watching anime and good movies quite a lot.”
Yesternight Star, a seasoned otaku loli, would spend her free moments indulging in anime and movies. It’s a great way to k*ll time when looking for ways to get away from work.
“Hmm~ I think I performed a concert here before.” Void Rain White gently said, memories vivid in her mind.
As a renowned songstress, touring across the cities is part of the job. Qi Yuan City is one such place she had performed in.
And back then, she was active in the music entertainment area here, an enjoyable experience. Who knew if things have changed since then.
Hearing Void Rain White, Yesternight Star was surprised.
“Huh huh huh? What a coincidence?”
“Well, not really. Actually, I’ve been to a major portion of this country’s cities, including some abroad. It’s likely you could find records of me almost anywhere.”
“Woaah~ How awesome!” Yesternight Star expressed in awe.
World-renowned songsters are indeed legendary figures. Conversely, she, being a homebody little loli, hadn’t ventured much. If not for suddenly awakening to the Star, she probably wouldn’t have left her corner in a single city.
Sigh~
Yesternight Star sighed lightly, glancing over at Lotus Flower who seemed disinterested.
“Lotus Flower, you don’t seem interested in this place?”
“A bit… unsure how people here feel about puppet shows.”
Lotus Flower, being a dedicated Puppet Master, wished for her beloved art of puppetry to gain more appreciation.
It’s a technique passed down by her mother, an art to be cherished. Art only gains significance when recognized by the masses.
No need to become the mainstream; just let it be remembered as a traditional performance method.
However, achieving that would take time.
Currently, Lotus Flower just wants to follow the troupe and hang out with Yesternight Star, making gradual progress towards this goal.
“Yesternight Star, you like it here?” Lotus Flower casually asked.
“Mmm, many things here interest me. After all, they’re things I often use to entertain myself during downtime.”
While answering, Yesternight Star glanced at a map, trying to memorize the city structure.
Of course, she also took note of the overall route of the Film and Television Entertainment Zone to avoid getting lost.
“Uumm~ Uemm~ Let’s head in that direction next!”
After scanning the map, Yesternight Star pointed towards a particular direction, quite purposefully.
Something must have caught her attention.
Void Rain White and Lotus Flower didn’t object. They followed quietly behind her.
Having a good stroll together, it felt nice, just like normal friends shopping together.
A moment later, Yesternight arrived at another section of the Film and Television Entertainment Zone.
This whole area is secondary animation-related, the domain of anime films and series.
“Wow wow wow~”
Yesternight, enthused, observed her surroundings.
High-rise buildings displayed numerous anime character images, electronic screens played classic scenes from various anime series, and various promotional videos. The atmosphere was absolutely anime-central.
Moreover, there were many fans around, clearly drawn to the secondary animation culture.
Yesternight rarely visited places like this; previously, too busy with work, now, no longer wanted to step out.
Being here by chance, she decided to immerse herself thoroughly, satisfying her curiosity.
Void Rain White quickly understood the prevailing trend after a glance.
“Yesternight, do you like secondary animation?”
“Mmm… kind of. When I have free time, I love watching anime, perfect for slacking off.”
Admitting this, she felt slightly embarrassed.
Especially in front of girls.
Void Rain White smiled warmly, “Then show us around. I want to learn more about what you like.”
Meanwhile, Lotus Flower raised her hand.
“Me too. Knowing what Yesternight likes helps me create better puppets.”
“This… Why do I feel even more awkward…?” Yesternight’s cheeks reddened, moved by their words.
Feels like a confession, uncomfortable.
Following this, the trio began wandering around, stopping only to observe interesting things.
During this process, all three wore joyful smiles, enjoying the carefree leisure.
Even with their charming appearances attracting stares, they remained undisturbed.
Void Rain White, through existence interference, blended their unique presence with ordinary folks, even downplaying their aura.
Only Star Holders could possibly detect something amiss.
Though there were other visitors in this district, Star Holders weren’t common—unlikely to stumble upon Yesternight and company so easily.
Even if there were Star Holders among the crowd, unless exceptionally professional, they’d likely move on fast.
Only professional Night Watchers would continuously monitor strange anomalies, including unfamiliar Star Holders during patrols.
Certainly, exceptions can happen.
In the crowd, a young girl was intently staring at Yesternight and her companions.
She wasn’t a Night Watcher but an ordinary student.
Actually, she possessed a Star.
“Such a rare combination, two cute littles and a beautiful girl. Perfect for cosplay. Should I approach them for a chat?”
This girl was mulling over, deciding to set aside purchasing merchandise in favor of silently trailing this trio.
Perhaps bordering on stalking, but wanting to meet them.
In fact, she instantly saw these girls weren’t normal. Probably, like her, belonged to the same kind.
If same, should have topics to discuss.
Wanted a chance to meet them, exactly as such.
