"Pfft — —!"

For the first time, Natori Monday choked on the imported hot tea without caring about her image.

While coughing, she apologized to Kanai on the other end of the phone.

"Sorry … if I didn't hear wrongly,

Do you mean that Gui Nu Red Leaf is going to participate in TV Tokyo's talent show this week? "

"… Yes." Mr. Namco, don't pretend to be serious anymore. I can hear you chuckling over there!

"Red Leaf was discovered by the director of the television station when she went to the set two days ago …" She stammered as she spoke about how the beautiful Red Leaf was chosen by the director at first glance.

And the experience of being invited onto the stage (named: poof.)

In the end, she asked worriedly, "Mr. Natori said that you often work with TV Tokyo.

That's why I took the liberty of asking about that talent show. "

Natori: …

He covered the phone with his hand and turned his head to laugh softly for a long time.

Then, he said to Kanai in an extremely serious manner,

"I remember that the director of that talent show is a very decent person (even if he isn't, he will become decent when he meets Gui Nu Red Leaf).

It seems to be … a girl group dance talent show? "

Natori Monday smiled and said, "Well, no matter what, you need three people."

Kanna Hyuga: …

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Red Leaf's teary and aggrieved face.

"I knew it, I knew it from your expression … You definitely don't want to help me.

Well, anyway, I'm no longer your favorite Little Sweetie.

If you don't want to help, then don't help … "

Kanna Hyuga felt like she had been hit with a huge pot. … You didn't say that you wanted three people before!

"Anyway, I know … Ever since that Gigolo Fu Mourning God came over, you've changed.

You don't love me as much anymore. You don't care about me as much anymore. "

Hearing Gui Nu Red Leaf's resentful voice,

Miko-sama's mouth twitched.

"Also, you're willing to go all the way to the Hidden Grounds for the sake of the Fu Mourning God they just summoned. You're not even willing to dance with them … Is it because that Sanchū guy is better looking than them?"

Red Leaf pouted, put her hands on her hips, and continued to ask Kanai, "Tell me.

Did you take a fancy to that guy called San Ri Yue?

How could he be as good-looking as her?

How, is, he, better, than, other, people? "

"… I understand.

Isn't it just … dancing for you … "Miko-sama weakly covered her forehead.

"I know, I know.

Other than me, does anyone else have a choice? "

"They've already called Virgin. Virgin said that she can just transform into her human form."

Akihabara cheered in her heart, but she pretended to be serious on the surface. She glanced at Kanna suspiciously and said, "You really need to dance with her properly. You can't give up halfway!"

"I won't."

Kanna Hyuga replied seriously, staring at Red Leaf's face without blinking. "So, Red Leaf, don't think that I only like Kendo and not you."

… Fool, I don't think so. It's just that Sanchū is too annoying.

With this thought in mind, Red Leaf couldn't help but show a sly look on her face. After seeing Red Leaf's expression, Kanai, who immediately realized that she had been fooled, was speechless.

"… When I consulted with Mr. Natori, he recommended a good choreographer to me. She's quite familiar with Natori's family." Kanai felt that she had neglected Red Leaf's little princess, so she tried her best to make up for it. "Let the professional choreographer do it."

"Hooray!" Gui Nu Red Leaf hugged Kanai in her arms and gave her a hug.

Burying it, he happily kneaded the little girl and said happily, "Then let's call the maidservant and go now ~"

She was dreaming, and then she bumped into Ibaraki with a dark face.

"No."

The majestic big monster Ibaraki Doji stood in front of the three girls with a dark face. He glared at Kanna Hyuga and said, "How dare you follow Gui Nu Red Leaf to perform for those filthy humans?"

Kanai was speechless.

"… Say that again?"

The furious Gui Nu Red Leaf sneered. She pushed Kanai and Virgin to the side with one hand, and played with a red maple leaf that appeared out of nowhere with the other hand. She stared at Ibaraki with a fierce gaze.

"I said, if you want to degrade yourself and perform on the stage, then you can't bring Kanna Hyuga with you." Ibaraki raised his chin slightly, and his golden eyes squinted at Gui Nu Red Leaf.

Kanai and Virgin couldn't help but hug each other and tremble.

"I didn't know that an otaku who only knows how to play games all day had the ability to teach others a lesson. Perform on the stage?

Degrade yourself?

Compared to the beautiful me who is worshipped by humans, a cripple who can't even win against humans in games is the true degrade, isn't it? "

"Black Flame!"

Ibaraki attacked without saying a word. His face was ferocious. "First, you bewitched Jiu Tun. After a thousand years, you still haven't changed. Now you want to seduce Kanna Hyuga?

Die! "

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?

Dance of Death! "Gui Nu Red Leaf was even angrier and didn't bother to explain. She attacked with a big move.

"… Bind!"

Kanna activated her barrier just in time to send in the two demons who were actually kindergarten children despite being powerful demons. Kanna raised her index finger in a rare display of seriousness.

"The first rule of living in the Sunset Shrine in the modern world is no fighting!

Whoever destroys the house is responsible for repairing it!

If you break any electrical appliances, you have to pay for new ones! "

Although the diligent Paper Doll Spirit-branded Retainer could repair most of the damage, she had a hard time with electrical appliances. Therefore, every time Ibaraki acted like he was going to smash the TV or computer, the little girl would be scared witless.

Gui Nu Red Leaf and Ibaraki Doji were rendered speechless.

The two of them immediately stopped arguing with each other and glared at Kanna Hyuga with resentment.

Under Gui Nu Red Leaf's resentful gaze and Ibaraki's angry gaze, Kanai's expression didn't change. She said to the two monsters trapped in the barrier, "If you apologize to each other, you can come out. If you don't, then you'll have to stand there as punishment."

No matter how you look at it, Ibaraki was in the wrong first. However, considering that Ibaraki was doing it for her own good, and that he had a fragile heart, she could only give him a beating.

'Apologize?

Apologize to this beautiful femme fatale/brain-dead retard?

Over my dead body!! '

The two monsters glared at each other in dissatisfaction. It wasn't clear who spoke first, but after a short silence, they suddenly began to curse at each other.

Kanna Hyuga was rendered speechless.

"Since you don't want to apologize, then you'll have to stand there as punishment."

Kanna Hyuga felt so tired that she just wanted to roll her eyes. She couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these two great monsters. She took Virgin to Fu Mourning God's side and introduced Virgin to Fu Mourning God. Then, while eating the breakfast that Kendo made with care, she used her cell phone to ask the famous choreographer for advice.

The choreographer was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She called herself Keiko, and seemed to be a distant relative of Natori's family.

She knew a little about the Divine Dao World. After hearing Kanai's self-introduction and request, she eagerly agreed with a smile on her face.

"I also really want to see Spirit-branded Retainers dance on stage, especially the famous Gui Nu Red Leaf and Miss Hyuga."

Keiko seemed even more impatient than Kanai. "The fierce clash between the Spirit-branded Retainers of the Pingan Jing era and the witches of the modern world represents the intertwining and merging of the past and the future. I'm really looking forward to the color and charm."

Kanna Hyuga was rendered speechless.

'Is there something wrong with this sensei …'

"… At any rate, I think that since time is tight, why don't you let me see you as soon as possible so that I can decide on your songs and dance styles based on your appearances, as well as your outfits —"

"I understand. We don't have any problems here. It's just Keiko sensei's time. We'll see when sensei is free …"

"— I'm free right now!

Come, come, let me see the beauty of Pingan Jing's Gui Nu Red Leaf! "

"… Okay."

Kanai scratched her head as she felt that Keiko's tone sounded like a fangirl's. She didn't think too much about it and hung up after setting a time with Keiko sensei. Then, she opened her laptop and searched for something.

"Admiral."

Kendo, who was cleaning up the dishes, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Admiral, are you really going to go on stage together with Red Leaf?"

"… I already promised her. Anyway, she's going to be a backup dancer …" the witch repeated uncertainly. "A backup dancer should just stand behind the stage and wave … That should be fine, right?"

Poor Kanai had never chased after celebrities or watched variety shows since she was young. The only time she danced was when she was in kindergarten and acted as a sunflower with her classmates. She was completely clueless about this type of show.

"I see." Kendo came to a sudden realization and smiled. "May I ask if we can go to the live show?

Even if you're just standing behind the stage and waving, I'd still like to see it with my own eyes. "

"I'm not sure if we can go to the live show." Kanai thought for a moment. "But the show seems to be broadcast live all over the country. We'll just have to watch it at the right time."

"That's great. We can watch the scene from hundreds of miles away without leaving the house. I have to say that human wisdom is endless."

After experiencing countless girls hitting on him the first time he went out, Sanchū felt that he had no plans to go out again for the time being.

"If it's Sanchū, it's best if you don't go."

She glanced at the old man who was so beautiful that he could cause the downfall of a city. If the director also took a fancy to him at the live show, Gui Nu Red Leaf would probably vomit blood in anger.

"By the way," Kanai asked the two Fu Mourning God who had just arrived at the house, "Do Firefly and Mr. Sanchū know about the appliances and the room?"

"Yes, yes!

Thanks to Kendo, I even learned how to use a tablet. "Firefly answered energetically.

"I'm not good at these new tools, and I'm a little slow when it comes to computers. But I have no problem with the basic lights and televisions." Sanchū held his tea and answered slowly.

"That's good. Now that there are more and more people in the house, if you need anything, just look for me or Kendo."

Kanai nodded. Seeing that it was about time, she walked towards the two monsters in the corridor with her laptop.

From afar, he could hear the two of them cursing at each other from across the barrier. When he got closer, he realized that the barrier he had casually set up was about to disappear. Akihabara and Ibaraki Dojo were still standing in place, not moving at all.

No, no matter what … At least they followed the rules. Forget it, let them go.

The soft-hearted girl explained herself and lifted the barrier. She then passed the information she found on her laptop to Ibaraki. "Red Leaf is not going to the stage to perform. The saying now is different from when she was in Pingan Jing. She's going to run for 'idol'."

She tried to explain the status and fame of modern idols as simply as possible. However, Ibaraki was even more dissatisfied after hearing the explanation.

"Since it's a profession that gathers the power of faith of mankind, why don't you do it?"

Ibaraki frowned at Kanna Hyuga. "So far, you're the one who needs it the most, but you're willing to be a foil to your own Spirit-branded Retainer?"

Kanna Hyuga: "… I have something to do. I'll leave first." — — It's hard to talk to this guy!

"— — Hey!"

With her strong mental fortitude, Kanai ignored Ibaraki's mutterings and quickly ran out with Red Leaf and Virgin. They hurried to Keiko's dance studio.

According to Natori's introduction, Keiko was a very strict and passionate dance teacher. She had directed many dances for many celebrities' MVs and live performances. She had always had a good reputation in the industry.

Furthermore, she often worked with TV Tokyo, so she had a good understanding of the director's taste.

After arriving at this famous dance teacher's studio, Kanna knocked on the large open door, and a tall woman who was dressed simply walked out from the room. She had an outstanding aura and was wearing a pair of eight-centimeter high heels, but her footsteps didn't seem to be slow in the slightest. She walked up to Kanna with graceful steps that resembled dancing.

When she saw Gui Nu Red Leaf, her cheeks flushed red. She clenched her fists and put them on her cheeks. Her eyes sparkled like the stars of a fangirl. "You must be Gui Nu Red Leaf, right?

You're as beautiful and charming as the legends say!

Your white modified kimono matches your temperament so well!

And your silky black hair, and your skin is like a peeled egg. Oh my god, I'm going to faint! "

Then she saw Virgin, and her eyes lit up with love. "Kawaii!

You must be Virgin, right?

You're so cute, how can you be so cute? Lolita is the treasure of the world. Boo hoo hoo, your blue eyes are so beautiful. You don't need to wear contact lenses. Your little wings are so cute, and your feathers are so soft. Boo hoo hoo ~ "

Finally, her gaze fell on Kanai, and she suddenly fell silent.

The little girl was a little nervous. She couldn't help but tilt her head.

Keiko suddenly lowered her body and squatted down with her back facing Kanai and the others. She covered her face with her hands and muttered something in a low voice. "Hoo hoo hoo hoo … Drink, drink, drink, drink … Calm down, calm down … It's a witch ~ No, no, I can't control it, control it, you can do it!

Damn it, I can't suck it. Why do I want to lick it so much … "

Kanai, "…???"

"I've seen a TV animation on TV before."

Red Leaf was expressionless. "It's that … what's it called … All-O Hunter. There's a person in there who looks very similar to this woman."

"… Huh?"

Gui Nu Red Leaf said coldly, "There's a clown in that movie. His name is Xi Suo, and he behaves like this when he sees little shotas."

… I actually couldn't refute it!

Keiko, who had finally calmed down, turned her head to look at Kanai excitedly. "I think we can finalize the song. Yes, yes, yes, I really think there's a song that's perfect!

As for the styling, Red Leaf's will do. I just need to make some minor adjustments to match the stage effect. I think I can already design your and Virgin's costumes now! "

"… Sorry to trouble you." Kanai subconsciously bowed to Keiko to thank her.

"No problem, no problem." Keiko was so excited that her face turned red. She hurriedly took out her cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello?

Is Tony right?

Bring your team and come over quickly. Now!

Immediately!

Right now!

I have a styling that I need your help with … Yes, yes, yes. Bring me the treasure of your store, the set of twelve sets!

Also, the set that you said you embroidered with golden thread last time, and the set of modified kimono that's worth a hundred thousand!

Hurry, hurry, bring them all over! "

Kanna Hyuga turned her head very seriously and asked Red Leaf with a frightened look in her eyes, "Is it too late for me to run away now?"

Gui Nu Red Leaf smiled … and made a throat-slitting gesture.
