Lead took out his game console and flew over to show Iruma-kun.
"Among them, Kuromu is the ace of young Idols! Her performances are excellent, she sings and dances well, and... she's super, super cute! That's an absolute! Cuteness is justice!"
"Ah, so cute~" Shesi and Camui, who were behind Iruma-kun, flew up to see and immediately shouted, their noses starting to bleed.
Jazz also joined in.
"Tickets sell out the moment they're released, and VIP tickets are drawn by lottery, allowing you to talk to Kuromu face-to-face~ How about it? I happen to have one that I went through a lot of trouble to get. Do you want to buy it from me? I'll give you a 50% discount~"
Upon hearing this, Iruma-kun immediately thought of one thing... scalpers.
"I didn't expect there to be scalpers in the Netherworld too..."
"Jazz, don't use the tricks I taught you on my little brother!" Shesi immediately ran over and said to Jazz.
"Sorry, sorry, it was just a reflex... But I have to say, Shesi, the tricks you taught me are really effective, I made a lot of money in an instant~"
"Of course, but remember I want thirty percent, after all, it was my idea," Shesi said proudly, looking at Jazz.
"Of course, of course, then I'll go sell elsewhere."
"Mm, be careful and bring back the things you stole from my little brother."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, it was a reflex again," Jazz said, returning the handkerchief from his pocket and some magic coins that Sullivan had forced upon him to Iruma-kun.
"Huh? When? Oh... thank you," Iruma-kun said, flustered, as he took the items from Jazz.
At this moment, Shesi punched Iruma-kun on the head again.
"Don't say thank you, say 'it's nothing'."
"It's nothing..."
Iruma-kun looked at Jazz as he left, and couldn't help but look at his brother with a bit of admiration. His brother had already gotten along so well with his classmates? So amazing.
"After the concert, there will also be an [evil cycle Eradication Meeting]! A dream event to release evil cycle pressure in one go just by waving to Kuromu."
Shesi's translation: Handshake event.
Suddenly, the broadcast from the classroom ceiling sounded.
"Iruma-kun of the Misfit Class, Iruma-kun, and Shesi, please come to the broadcast room immediately. Repeating again..."
"Huh? Is something wrong?" Iruma-kun was puzzled but still went with his brother.
"I'm coming too, wait for me, Iruma-kun."
"And me, and me!"
...Inside the Makuhari Messe Dome.
"OK, good work, Kuromu-chan." The camera crew turned off the camera.
A black-haired female demon in an OL outfit walked up to Kuromu and draped a piece of clothing over her. This person was Kuromu's manager.
"Ah, thank you."
"Kuromu is so bold, her first time at the Makuhari Messe Dome. The venue size of the Makuhari Messe Dome is top-tier in the Netherworld, a sacred place where many legendary concerts have been held. How about it, are you nervous?"
"No worries, for my first Dome performance, I will do my best!" Kuromu cheered herself on.
"So... so cute~" The staff were captivated by her cuteness.
Inside the waiting room, this was a waiting room exclusive to Idols.
Kuromu took off her wig, revealing her light blue hair, put on her glasses, and sighed in relief.
"Ah... this morning's concert was really intense."
If the Misfit Class members were here, they would definitely recognize that this person was Crocell Kerori, the second-to-last most inconspicuous person in the Misfit Class.
Crocell Kerori looked at herself in the mirror.
"This outfit still makes me feel at ease, after all, it's like this at school, and... this outfit is too revealing... I'm still not used to it~ And saying 'I'm waiting for you all' with that gesture was too embarrassing! Ah... but... should I research the poses more? After all, there's still the afternoon concert and the night concert... Or should I do the opposite and choose even more embarrassing poses?" After saying that, Kerori actually stood up and started doing them.
After doing a set, Kerori looked at herself in the mirror and finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"It's too pretentious, too embarrassing!" She said, and then started rolling on the floor in embarrassment.
"But I must work hard... Being an Idol is my duty, after all! After all! I'm super cute!" Kerori took out her notebook from her bag. There was a page with a piece of paper pasted on it, with a smiley face drawn on it... No, it wasn't a smiley face because the mouth of the smiley face had no curve, but a straight line, and it also said to keep up the good work. Kerori couldn't help but recall how at home, due to her magic, she couldn't compare to her older brother and younger sister. They always received "well done" evaluations, while she always got "keep up the good work."
Wanting to make them look at her in a new light, it was then that I noticed that whenever I went out, the surrounding sounds would disappear, everyone's gaze would be drawn to me, and everyone would stop in their tracks. I didn't say anything, but everyone would prioritize me. Even if I failed, even if I was weak, no one would laugh at me; they would even comfort me gently. I had the talent to resist evil intentions, and I was convinced that cuteness could overcome violence.
"That's why I chose to be an Idol, where I can maximize cuteness. I must make my family look at me in a new light! Endure the embarrassment, work desperately hard, but... why! Iruma-kun is even more noticeable than me!" Kuromu looked at today's newspaper, and her face puffed up with anger because she was squeezed into a small corner on the side.
"Whether it's a concert or a new song release, Iruma-kun always takes the headlines! Is it because it's school news, so student coverage is unavoidable? But never before has a demon beaten my cuteness and taken up an entire page of coverage, and also!" Kerori flipped another page. The picture on it was no longer Iruma-kun but Shesi. It was Shesi summoning his familiar. Kerori didn't know the origin of this photo, but Shesi looked very handsome in it.
"This person too, he actually flirted with me back then! If he knew I was Kuromu, would he still dare to flirt with me?! Hmph! He even kissed the back of my hand, my family has never even kissed me! Ah, ah, so irritating!" Kerori looked at Shesi in the newspaper, slowly becoming lost in thought.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Kerori.
"What are you doing, Kuromu! Didn't I tell you not to use ice, or it would expose your family background? Honestly! The afternoon concert is about to begin, cheer up."
"I am very sorry, Maru-san, I will do my best!" Kerori suddenly realized that due to her emotions, the dressing room was already full of ice cubes.
Before going on stage, Kerori took a deep breath.
Her current goal is to become an inconspicuous student at school, rise to Rank 5, graduate, then become active in other fields, quickly rise to Rank 8, surpassing her mother's Rank 7.
