Chapter 49: Have You Heard of the Rising Sun Theater Group?
Even before the third performance, Night Star was already thinking about the Grand Performance.
Night Star thought this grand event could include some singing activities.
Kong Yu Bai could write a song with a big chorus, where each member of the theater group could chip in with a few lines, or even the whole chorus.
Then have a Singer take the lead, with the previous World Songstress’s voice guaranteed to bring enormous shock and awe.
If possible, Night Star also wanted the current World Songstress to join in the grand performance.
Having two world-class songstresses on hand would make the promotion a lot simpler. It could almost be like a special concert by Qing Liao Songstress.
Of course, the theme would still be the Rising Sun Theater Group’s grand performance, with Qing Liao Songstress merely as a guest artist.
This sounds pretty solid.
While Night Star was pondering these thoughts, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Ding-dong~
Night Star paused for a moment, then took Kong Yu Bai’s hand and entered a hidden state, their presence quickly vanishing.
At that time, Qing Liao had just stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel.
She heard the doorbell too.
“Night Star?”
Qing Liao, puzzled, looked around the room but found no trace of Night Star or Kong Yu Bai.
Just as she was starting to get suspicious, Night Star and Kong Yu Bai reappeared, as if they had materialized right there in front of her.
“Hush! This is our ability; we’re hiding so well.”
“Oh…”
Qing Liao nodded, clearly, not surprised.
After all, she was a World Songstress herself, and she had seen much stranger things.
Because she was one of them.
Qing Liao moved to start the communication equipment.
“Who is it?”
“I’m Mi Lei You from the Order of Sequence. I want to exchange thoughts on singing.”
Qing Liao glanced at Night Star and declined politely, “Sorry, I’m a bit tired, maybe we can talk about this another time.”
“No problem, sorry for the disturbance.”
Mi Lei You then left.
She returned to Tifureka and Moon Sings’ room, looking utterly defeated.
“She doesn’t like me, does she? Did I do something wrong? As a nun, this is such a setback.”
Mi Lei You was downcast.
Tifureka, watching the scene, rolled her eyes.
“Don’t jump to conclusions. We’ve only known her for a while. Why would she treat us as close friends?”
Moon Sings added, “That’s true, and perhaps Qing Liao is just tired. Let her rest.”
“Yeah…”
But Mi Lei You didn’t know that Qing Liao had just wanted to hide Night Star and Kong Yu Bai.
The reason that Qing Liao was tired might not even hold water.
Seeing Qing Liao fend off the Order of Sequence member, Night Star and Kong Yu Bai reappeared.
“Oh, I thought you’d let her in.”
“I’m not good at interacting much, especially with you both here. To avoid revealing what needs to be kept secret, it seems the best option.”
“But even if she did come in, she wouldn’t find us. She’d notice nothing even if we popped up right in front of her.”
Night Star believed strongly in the power of Existence Interference.
Little beings from the Order of Sequence surely couldn’t see through the cover of Extraordinary Stars.
Confidently, Night Star asked, “So, how were the three girls sent by the Order? Pretty?”
Before, during the sense check, Night Star had known the three were young ladies. Only, their looks were unknown.
She didn’t have x-ray vision after all.
“Mmm…”
Qing Liao pondered for a brief moment and replied, “Really beautiful, very exotic, quite a sight.”
“Lolis?”
“Not really. They looked all over 18.”
“Huh… I guessed so.”
Night Star continued pondering.
After arriving in Free Country, other worries were set aside.
Since she came to a new place, new goals were in order.
She once had a mindset of connections spanning the globe, and meeting interesting people would be okay too.
Like the Night Hunt Organization earlier.
What a shame there were no loli.
In any case, she could hunt for them herself.
Since she was under no significant pressure in Waltonka and had no other goals, besides killing time till the weekend performance, what else could she do besides loaf around?
Therefore, before the weekend, Night Star planned to explore a bit.
“When does Qing Liao’s concert start?” Night Star wondered aloud.
“In a few days. I’m new here; I couldn’t start so soon.”
“I see. Will she leave right after the concert?”
“Who knows.”
Such decisions depended on many variables.
If Qing Liao had no other plans, she’d leave sooner rather than later.
However, if she had, even her company couldn’t force her.
It seemed Night Star had other ideas.
She approached Qing Liao quickly and nuzzled affectionately.
“Well, I might need to stay for a month in this city. Could you stay till then, my love?”
Qing Liao gently patted her head.
“Spoiling as well requires reasons since I’m a World Songstress, tied up with lots of responsibilities. Staying in one place too long isn’t something I can do casually.”
“If I give a reason, will you agree?” Night Star prodded.
“That depends on the reasoning, whether it convinces me.”
Clearly, Qing Liao wasn’t going to be as unconditional as Kong Yu Bai.
Night Star’s cutesy approach didn’t work here.
“Mm… Then I’ll be brief. Do you know about the Rising Sun Theater Group?”
Night Star had made up her mind…

Meanwhile,
Outside the hotel.
Mo Rabbit sat at a nearby restaurant eating snacks, appearing quite content.
“The delicacies of Free Country are truly unique; must research them better.”
With one mouthful, Mo Rabbit’s expression reflected pure bliss, her cute and delicate face enhancing the charming image.
Her adorable reaction drew more than a few stares, capturing everyone’s attention.
To be honest, apart from her odd quirks, her evident fondness for food was delightful.
A number of people now considered bringing high-quality desserts to cheer Mo Rabbit up.
Outside the restaurant.
He Li Xia passed by with Claire and Noya. Noticing the cuteness of a black-haired loli inside.
“Hmm?”
It was not the cuteness that captured He Li Xia’s attention, but rather the reaction within her body indicating the presence of a Star holder.
“That girl is also a Star holder? So cute, though probably not suspicious.”
Thus, He Li Xia ignored Mo Rabbit’s existence.
