### Chapter 25: Grand Performance by Rising Sun
“Mmm, I’m done.”
Night Sakura Mirror’s satisfied voice echoed.
Night Lan and Night Star also opened their eyes and didn’t feel any discomfort.
Right now, Night Sakura Mirror was organizing her makeup tools, casually saying, “Go take a look in the river. The makeup makes you look adorable, even cuter than before.”
Hearing this, Night Lan and Night Star walked to the riverbank and squatted down, looking at their reflection in the calm water.
“Hmm…”
From the reflection in the water, it was clear that Night Lan and Night Star indeed had makeup traces on their faces.
Firstly, the eye area, with heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow that stood out sharply. The red eyeshadow paired extremely well with the two Little Lolis, making them look like entirely different people!
Moreover, a thin layer of foundation was applied to both of their faces, making them appear alluring. Their lips were lightly covered with lip gloss, making them seem more luscious, tempting one to bite them.
Night Lan even wanted to try light nibbling on Night Star herself.
“It looks… pretty good, right?”
The makeup Night Sakura Mirror gave them was a simple one. Besides the eyes, other areas did not stand out much. It felt like adding a touch of beauty on top of natural charm. In short, she loved it again!
Then, Night Sakura Mirror said, “Since you’re already so cute naturally, you don’t need thick makeup. Just a little bit can fully display your original charming essence. You’re already feeling great now. If you step onto the stage, you can definitely play the role of twin princesses.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Night Lan murmured softly.
Twin princesses, quite a nice setup.
At this moment, Night Sakura Mirror finished organizing her makeup box.
“Alright, let’s head back to the theater now. I must rally everyone up.”
“Hold on.”
Night Lan seemed to have something more to say. She awkwardly chuckled.
“Actually, why not just give us some masks to wear instead? That way, we won’t need to show our faces.”
“Huh? Then what’s the point of the makeup?”
“Hmm… my initial suggestion was just wearing a mask. It was you who suggested the makeup, seeing how excited you were, I did it for you.”
“Oh… sorry, I guess I overstepped—”
Night Sakura Mirror began to feel disheartened again.
Night Lan gently comforted her, “Well, it’s fine. This is our first official makeup experience, it’s an experience and memory worth cherishing. So, what you did means a lot to us.”
“Really?”
“Mmhmm, exactly.”
“That’s great.” Night Sakura Mirror sighed, but quickly got stuck on another issue. “But if we only use masks, I don’t carry any with me…”
She started pondering deeply, then an idea struck her.
“I remember there are masks for performances in the prop box. I’ll bring some over.”
“Okay.”
Night Lan and Night Star smiled without a word.
The young girl with sakura-white hair turned and left swiftly.
Switch the scene:
In the old theater.
A group of troupe members sat dejectedly, having burned out all energy.
No audience seemed to be a massive blow for them.
Clearly, they needed more than a night to get over it.
At this moment, some commotion was heard outside the theater.
The troupe members turned and saw it was the makeup artist returning.
However, she did not speak as she explored the prop box, picking up two items before rushing out again.
“What’s she doing?”
“We don’t know.”
After a while, the demotivated troupe members heard someone entering again. Turning around, it was still the makeup artist.
This time, she came back with two masked little girls by her side.
Seeing this, the troupe leader and others were stunned.
“Makeup artist… Who are they?”
Night Sakura Mirror smiled and said, “These are your devoted fans. They came to watch the performance. Even if there are only two, they are still audience.”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Is this really true?”
Night Lan softly commented, “Not time for performance yet?”
Hearing those words, every member sprang into action.
“Prepare to start! Prepare to start! Two young ladies, please wait a moment. Tonight, my voice will be dedicated to you!”
“They’re coming, they’re coming! Tonight’s performance will surely satisfy you!”
Even with only two girls attending, it already meant significant encouragement.
Night Lan noticed the seniors busily preparing, somehow feeling amused.
Even the past members of the Rising Sun Troupe were interesting, good people through and through.
They were true performers dedicated to serving the audience.
At this thought, Night Lan almost burst into laughter, yet it was a warm smile.
Soon, Night Lan and Night Star settled at the front row of the audience section, enjoying the prime spot.
From here, the pleasure of the stage performance could be better sensed.
All troupe members were ready to perform.
Even with such a small crowd, they would maintain a hundred and twenty percent focus.
Such was their commitment to the performance and the audience.
“The Grand Performance of the Rising Sun starts now! Cheer! Applaud! Scream! This is a grand spectacle prepared especially for you!” The troupe leader shouted passionately, showing great vigor.
Night Lan and Night Star followed by clapping and letting out tiny screams, quite adorable.
“Wow~”
“Wow!”
Thus, a special performance solely for the two girls commenced.
…
Meanwhile.
In the church.
Jian Jia’an waited for the judgment of the priest.
“How are the members of the Rising Sun Troupe faring?”
“Based on investigations, they no longer have any performance channels, and currently are organizing their own theater. But under our Holy Church’s dominance, they have no audiences. Ultimately, they’ll end up dissolving.”
Jian Jia’an relayed the recent developments.
However, the priest seemed unsatisfied with this outcome.
“This isn’t enough. Tell them that if they want to avoid ending up in a worse situation, they must hand over the girl with divine power or have the troupe leader join us.”
“And if they still refuse?”
“Then we’ll resort to our final option. The Holy Church cannot tolerate any loss of divine power, especially from a disrespectful organization. Once they grow powerful, they’ll become obstacles for our church’s development.”
“Understood.”
Jian Jia’an departed, internally prepared for his decision.
He’d make the self-proclaimed troupe leader see the despair he felt.
To make the troupe leader regret uttering those dismissive comments about him.
Personal power is not absolute. Without overwhelming the church’s might, prepare to face the church’s sanctions.
That’s reality.
And the natural law among the Divine Favorites.
