Chapter 48: In the Spotlight
"A fateful encounter?"
"Me with her?"
The abrupt remarks of the silent girl stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, making Lin Xiaolu and the blonde girl stunned, followed by inexplicable staring at each other.
Looking at the somewhat familiar blonde girl in front of her, Lin Xiaolu first subconsciously shook her head, denying this absurd statement in her heart, and just as she wanted to say something, there was a violent applause and cheers from the venue on the side.
The noise interrupted the girls' communication, but also attracted their attention, causing them to look away from each other, and looked together at the intersection of the aisle, which was opening widely.
Walking to the gate, looking at the venue with some curiosity, Lin Xiaolu first looked at the crowd in Wuyang, and then looked at the stage under the spotlight, to her surprise, there was a figure standing on the stage that made her feel a little familiar:
- It's a delphinch.
……
……
After receiving the flower, the delphinium was called to the stage under the name of "inviting the lucky audience to speak on stage".
If possible, she didn't want to receive this somewhat abrupt gift in front of everyone, let alone send herself into the spotlight for such a strange reason. Unfortunately, when she realized that this might be a premeditated act by Aso, it was too late.
The moment she got the head flower, she had already become the focus of attention of the surrounding audience, and everyone wanted to confirm the true face of this "lucky person".
And when it was discovered that the person who got the head flower seemed to be a young girl, some people immediately started to coax them, some asked if the delphinch could show him, and some asked if the delphinium would like to exchange the head flower for a bag of candy...... The crowd of fans who were extremely fanatical because of the atmosphere of the concert flocked to the concert, and even scared Bai Jingxuan on the side.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, on the stage, Madoka Aso, who had finished the previous performance, neither continued to sing, nor did she leave the stage to prepare for the next performance. Instead, his eyes moved to where the delphinch was, and he said with a bright smile:
"Thank you for coming to see my performance today, this is also my first time to hold a concert in Fangting City, Donghuazhou, I didn't expect Fangting to be such a warm city, to be honest, I feel a little flattered!"
"It just so happened that I saw that under the stage, the little fan who received the head flower seemed to be very excited, if there is anything she wants to say, then let's welcome her to the stage!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the fans in the audience let out bursts of cheers very appropriately, and it was the audience who had tried to coax the head flower to get their hands before, and they had to stop thinking after hearing the description of "little fans", and could only applaud helplessly.
Only the center of the topic, the "little fan" himself who got the head flower, opened and closed his lips in disbelief.
"Excited"? When did you show similar emotions?
She doesn't know what Aso's plans are now, but she knows very well that she has been a teammate for many years, how out of tune this glittering "singer" on stage is.
If you really want Delphinium to label each of the former members of the Fangting City team with a personality label, then the label that belongs to Aso Enka must be "self-confidence", or "self-centered".
Something that can make her feel happy, or good enough for her, even if it may cause trouble to others, Aso Madoka will not hesitate to choose to let herself be happy first.
is different from Su Shengzi, another member of the same team who also performs his own way, if Su Shengzi is completely immersed in his own world, so that he doesn't care about the outside world; Then Aso Madoka is simply willful after weighing the pros and cons.
Because of this, Delphinium is now unsure of what kind of medicine is in the other party's gourd.
It's just that the arrow is on the bow, and when she is shouted out on such an occasion, she has little room to escape. In the end, he walked onto the stage under the slightly worried eyes of Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang, and walked in front of Aso Enka with drooping eyelids.
Standing in the slightly dazzling spotlight, the delphinium raised her hand slightly to block the light above, and looked at the woman in front of her: after more than ten years, she finally saw her old friend up close again.
However, at this time, Margaret was not looking at the delphinium, but still holding the microphone, smiling, and interacting with the audience under the stage.
Following his gaze to the audience, the delphinium looked at the black crowd, the sound like a tsunami constantly impacting the stage, and the crowd in the venue at night seemed to have become a black tide, washing the isolated island of the stage. Just standing here is afraid that it is enough to make the legs of some cowardly people weak.
And the closest to the stage, those fans who could see the faces of the delinium were looking at her with enthusiasm at this time, and there were all kinds of envy and anticipation in their eyes.
Are you being treated as a fan representative?
Delphinium couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Obviously, these fans are looking forward to her being able to express a series of eager feelings such as welcome and love on behalf of the "fans of Fangting City".
But unfortunately, although Delphinium is standing here, it is not really a fan or fan at all, and if you want to quantify the level of worship of a fan for "Mary", Delphinium will probably have to stand in the last row.
Feeling the ardent feelings of those people in the audience, Delphinium pursed her lips and looked at Aso Yuanxiang, and saw that the other party had also turned his head to look at him at this time. waved to the audience on the stage to "listen quietly", and handed the microphone to Delphinium like a kind big sister, all her actions were extremely mellow, but she still had a business smile that belonged to the "singer" on her face, as if she was wearing a mask on her face, and she didn't show her real face at all.
It seems that Aso Madoka has no intention of revealing superfluous information on stage, and even tries to pretend that she doesn't know her, which somewhat reassures Delfinium. So she sorted out her emotions, made up a set of rhetoric from the standpoint of "fans", followed what she was going to say next in her heart, and said with no discomfort:
"Hemp...... Mary, welcome to Fangting City, everyone is very ...... I like you, and I hope you can like Fangting City too. ”
This sentence made Aso Madoka take two steps back rather exaggeratedly, and covered her mouth as if she was happy: "Really? Do you like me very much? ”
Delphinium made a "hmm" with a wooden face.
Aso Enka pointed the microphone at the stage again, and put her palms outside her ears like a lively girl: "Is what she said true?" ”
"Really!"
The fans shouted in unison.
"Thank you! I'm so happy! ”
With a bright smile in front of the audience, Aso Madoka threw a refreshing and skillful wink: "Thank you!" I like you the most! So I dedicate this song as a gift to you, your favorite "Sophia's Love Letter"! ”
As her words fell, the band on the stage immediately followed the prelude to the song, and the spotlight, which was still a little dazzling, also changed color, from harsh white to soft pink.
Then, while the prelude was still playing, Aso Madoka took the delphinium and sent it to the side of the stage, smiling with an extremely false business smile, "Of course, I like you too." ”
"Ha ......"
Delphia, who didn't understand what the situation was at all, grinned and smiled dryly, as if he was responding to the other party's words.
However, before she could make any further movements, she felt Aso's face suddenly move closer, and then, a little soft touch came from her forehead.
The touch only lasted for a moment, but the delphinium understood what it was, so much so that her whole body tensed up for a moment.
It's a kiss.
A kiss on the forehead looks like an intimate act between the big sister and the little sister, so much so that the audience in the audience saw the kiss without much thought.
Of course, this does not prevent envious and jealous viewers from shouting recklessly, nor does it prevent fans who feel that they have seen the gentle side of their idols from shouting wildly. It was such an action that almost overturned the entire venue.
This shout also spread outside the venue, bringing Lin Xiaolu, who was still chatting with the mysterious trio, back to his senses.
Then, it evolved into the scene that Lin Xiaolu saw.
……
……
When the concert finally came to an end, after a few hours of revelry, so much so that after three encores, singer Madoka Aso's tour in Fangting City finally came to an end.
Even after the performance, many of the fans in the audience were still immersed in that eager emotion and were still chatting with each other excitedly.
Of course, this is also because, right now is the last concert of Madoka Aso's tour. Fangting City is the last stop on its tour, after which the concert will come to an end, and for a long time to come, the fans present will probably not get such a hearty performance.
Under the addition of multiple factors, fans are still reluctant to leave even after experiencing encore three times, but they still gather in the venue to feel the last residual warmth.
Delphinium, of course, is not included in it.
In fact, she can't wait to rush backstage right now, pull out Masaka Aso, and ask what this guy is up to. Or what was going on in the man's head.
A simple kiss on the forehead is, of course, a trifle...... It's probably a trivial matter, but the nature of doing this kind of thing in front of everyone is completely different, and what is this for, pure bad taste?
Holding Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang, he walked out of the venue with a calm face, and Delphinium soon found Lin Xiaolu's trace in the crowd. After Lin Xiaolu and Jiang Yuan separated, they quickly pulled Lin Xiaolu and walked towards the depths of the venue with great momentum.
Xia Liang, who had seen the whole thing from the beginning, had already guessed what the situation was, so he just followed Delphinium with interest. But Lin Xiaolu obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet, and seeing that Delphinium was behaving abnormally, she couldn't help but ask:
"Where are we going?"
"Go find someone." The delphinium head did not reply.
"Who?" Lin Xiaolu blinked blankly.
"The one who was singing on stage just now." The delphinium's voice did not rise or fall.
"The singer? Why? ”
Lin Xiaolu followed behind Delphinium step by step, and after hearing this answer, she couldn't help but speed up her pace and ran to her side: "Did you find anything wrong on the stage?" ”
“…… Alas. ”
Delphinium sighed, and she didn't know why she sighed: "It's not that there's anything wrong, but I know her, it's better to say that I came to the concert today to confirm her identity." ”
"Huh? Yes! So that's the case? Lin Xiaolu was shocked in hindsight.
"That is to say, the hero of today's concert, the singer named Madoka Aso, is actually our senior."
After getting the affirmation of Delfinite, Xia Liang on the side was finally able to speak and explained to Lin Xiaolu: "She was also a magical girl in Fangting City, and she was a teammate of the juniors." ”
"It turns out that Delphinch's teammates...... No, how do you know? Lin Xiaolu looked at her with some confusion.
"You can guess it, not to mention that your father also showed us the photos of the previous Fangting City team."
Xia Liang, who was asked the core of the question, did not panic at all, and explained casually: "Didn't you notice that the singer looks very similar to one of the people in the photo?" ”
"You even remember this kind of thing?"
"Hmph, you must have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering the things around you."
The two of them chatted about the topic of no nutrition, so they followed Delphinium all the way to the inner circle of the venue, the back of the concert, and the place where the staff was resting at this time.
The slender hallway stretches to the back of the stage, and in the corridor there are several well-held rooms with name plates closed, and several staff members in security uniforms can be seen standing in the hallway with serious expressions.
"Hello, I'm going to find someone."
Walking forward, the delphinium spoke amazingly.
I saw a few girls who didn't look very old running into the infield, and they said "go in and find someone" like a fanatical fan. One of the security guards looked suspicious at first, and then tried to drive him away. But before he could stop him, another security guard on the side grabbed him as if he realized something, and whispered to him.
After speaking, although the security guard was puzzled in the slightest, he didn't say anything more, and after hesitating for a while, he just nodded to the delphinium and let her in.
With the hearing of the delphinium, it is natural to be able to hear the content of its whisper, and what it says is: "Miss Mary's explanation, if there is a little girl who comes to her in strange clothes, just put it in." ”
Without much trouble with the security guards, Delphinium continued to drive straight into the three girls, and soon found the lounge marked with the name "Madoka Aso".
Even more conspicuous than the name are the other three girls standing against the wall in the hallway outside the door.
The three girls looked to be the same age as Lin Xiaolu and the others, and more importantly, their faces were all recognizable - these were all magical girls from Bai'an City.
When she went to Bai'an City to look for clues about the disappearance of the investigation team, she briefly collaborated with the magical girls there.
Delphinium saw these people, and these people naturally saw Delphinch, especially the blonde girl among them, and subconsciously covered her head after seeing Delphinch, as if she remembered some very bad memories.
Of course, it wasn't just Delphinium who recognized these people, Lin Xiaolu also reacted. Because she immediately realized that these people were the same trio she had met in the hallway earlier, and there seemed to be some familiar ones.
"What are you doing here?" Doubts came out of her mouth.
"We? Are we the staff here? But what are you doing here? ”
The blonde girl standing in the middle suddenly replied, but after seeing the delphinium on the side, her arrogance suddenly weakened a little, and the tone of the question became less confident: "No, why are you following ......?"
She got stuck at this point, and she didn't know if she had forgotten the name of the delphinium, or if she simply didn't dare to say more.
Seeing that she was silent in the middle of her words, another girl with glasses on the side could only sigh helplessly, stood up from the side, patted her shoulder, and said to the delphinium:
"Hello, Inspector Envoy, long time no see, I am the white thistle of Bai'an City. Are you here today to find a mentor? ”
"Who is your mentor?" Delphinium asked.
"The mentor's code name is 'Margaret.'" Bai Ji paused: "She said that you should be familiar with this codename, so she has already instructed us before, if I see you, please tell you to wait outside the door." ”
"She's also a magical girl in Bai'an City?" The delphinium asked again.
"Mentor...... Her words, in fact, are not exactly. ”
Bai Ji said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "But this is not something that we students can talk about casually, please ask her about it." ”
"What is there to hide...... Isn't it just a name in Bai'an? The blonde girl finally had the strength to hold back a sentence, but as soon as she finished speaking, she was glanced at by the white thistle, and suddenly stopped her mouth.
This paragraph has no beginning or end, and even an abrupt dialogue makes Lin Xiaolu on the side listen to it in a fog, because she doesn't understand how Delphinium suddenly became so familiar with a few "strangers" in her memory, and listening to their conversations, she seems to know a lot about magical girls.
She first looked at the trio in front of her, then looked at Xia Liang like a help, and found that Xia Liang was also a little dazed, so she could only look at the delphinium again, and reached out and pulled the delphinium's sleeve.
Delphinium glanced at her with a somewhat helpless look.
"Then put other topics aside for now, anyway, let's introduce each other first."
Knowing what Lin Xiaolu wanted to express, Delphinium had to turn sideways and spread out her hand to signal to Lin Xiaolu and the others: "This is the current member of the magical girl team in Fangting City. ”
Then he faced Lin Xiaolu and the others, and stretched out his hand to several magical girls in Bai'an City: "These three are the cities near Fangting, the magical girl team in Bai'an City, I met them when I went to Bai'an on a business trip before." ”
As soon as she introduced this, a few girls who were still a little in the dark understood what the situation was now, not only Lin Xiaolu, but even Bai Jingxuan and the silent girl in Bai'an City all looked like they suddenly realized.
- "Ah, I see, hello. ”
"Hello!"
After understanding the situation, it was natural to inevitably greet each other, led by Xia Liang and Bai Ji, several magical girls greeted each other strangely and politely.
The white thistle is rigorous, the blonde girl is casual, the silent girl is low, Xia Liang is kind, and Bai Jingxuan is serious.
The way they greet each other is different, but there is one of the most special among them.
That is Lin Xiaolu.
After learning that the somewhat mysterious girls in front of her were actually magical girls in the city next door, combined with the inexplicable familiarity before, she finally figured out why she felt that the blonde girl was a little familiar.
After figuring out the identity of the other party and identifying who the other party was, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pointed at the blonde girl, and without even saying hello, she subconsciously shouted:
- "Ah, you're the one who bathed in the mucus of the remnants! ”
