''The concert is in three days. Spread the words through my official fan page, I will settle the rest."
"Understood, my Lady!"
Maria nodded. She was about to make arrangements for the concert when a piece of paper fell from her pocket. The paper landed on the floor.
Raising an eyebrow, she picked up the paper and her beautiful face stiffened.
The paper had a number on it.
'Call me when you need a supporter when you need a believer, even if you lost your voice, when you feel like singing, just ring me up.'
She recalled that memory subconsciously, her heart started racing.
Slowly, she took out her phone and started slowly tip the number written on it.
Maria was too immersed in this dream already, just because she wished to fulfill that unfilled dream of hers.
She called that man, she called Alex and they met and talked before she handed him some invitations for the concert.
°°°
A few days later.
Somewhere in California.
This is the central plaza of the city's northern district. It's a rather famous spot.
It's famous because the central plaza is very wide and there are multiple facilities available for rent. It's also very close to other entertainment outlets so the traffic flow here is very good. Whenever there is a concert or anything big going down, this is the place to be.
There are many plazas in the city. However, when one referred to the northern plaza, they usually meant this plaza.
In the plaza, the biggest concert hall got booked by a certain party.
There aren't a lot of people who are aware of the identity of the organizer. However, all the insiders are women. All the guests heading for this place are women.
When Alex brought Artemia, Gracier, Sera, and Saeko here, they saw a huge human meat wall standing between them and the venue.
It was a sea of humans.
Given the population density here, it would be hard to move around once they dive into that sea of humans.
Next, they could see different hair colors in the guests here. Other than the people closest to the group, they could barely see what the other people wore for this venue because there are so many people walking around and squeezing up against one another.
"S-so many people."
"How astonishing!"
"This is the first time I saw so many people in one place."
Gracier, Saeko, Artemia, and the others couldn't help but stare blankly at the crowd here. Alice hiding behind Alex meekly. She grabbed his cloth like a child afraid of being abandoned.
"It's just a plaza, do they need to do something so over-the-top?"
Alex looked at the plaza with bulging eyes. He couldn't believe the turnout here.
"This is a bigger turnout than the festival last time. Did the citizens find out about Maria's concert here?"
Someone answered him, the voice came from the earpiece he wore on his right ear.
"Only her fans know about her concert, Maria only shared the details on her fan page.'
Luna moved the candy in her mouth to the other side.
"This is a famous plaza. There are various facilities here. The idols usually host handshake events, and autograph signing sessions here. It's fair to say there is a festival in here every day."
"This is still shocking."
Alex chortled.
"I didn't think I would see something on this scale once again."
"Oh?"
Luna raised an eyebrow.
"You mean you have seen something on this level before?"
"Well, I have seen this kind of crowd at the Grand Tournament in Mysthia World before. The turnout was on this level."
Alex scratched his cheek.
''There are even more people at my wedding in a certain world.''
"Hey, Kael!''
Luna finally called Kael by his other name when she normally referred to him as Lex as she used to intimately do.
"What was that about a wedding ceremony? I've never heard about this."
"Big brother…"
Gracier also ditched her playful nature. She sounded like she was very unstable right now.
"Is Alex already married?"
"As expected of the boss, he's still a high school student but…"
Sera was confused by Alex's revelation.
"Ahaha…"
Alex could hear the dangerous, panicky, and confused voices coming from his earpiece. He ended the conversation with a burst of laughter before moving forward with Sakuya. He pretended like he never heard anything.
"Let's go, we are going to be late."
"Okay!"
"Y-Yes."
"To witness our advent is the honor these mortals should thank their gods for. However, being tardy is a rude trait. Plus, the master said we should hurry so we should listen to his order." Noire said while playing with a coin.
"Agreed, Alice also wants to meet master's friend."
Alex walked towards the central plaza with four incredibly beautiful ladies around him.
There are so many people here. It was unknown if this was due to Maria's concert here or just the overall popularity of this place.
To prevent getting washed away by the deluge of fanatics Alex grabbed Gracier and Alice's hands. Saeko and Artemia wanted to hold hands with Alex but the other two already occupied his arms so they could only compromise by grabbing his shirt.
Alex immediately became the most salient person at the plaza. He could faintly hear people cursing his luck for having four beauties around him.
Alas, Alex seemed to be already used to the curses of others and their jealousy.
After fifteen minutes, Alex's group finally arrived at the concert venue.
Compared to the last concert, this time's scale was larger without a doubt.
The main doors were bigger than the doors to a museum. The concert-goers presented their tickets to the ushers with giddy looks.
"Oh! So cool~"
Gracier stood on the tips of her toes. Her heterochromia eyes glistened with intrigue and excitement.
"There are so many people here too…"
"Oh, let's go in first, I am sure there are more people inside."
Alex pulled Gracier and Alice along.
He made his way backstage.
Noire and Alice were confused.
"Hey, master!"
Noire tugged Alex's sleeve.
"Why aren't we using the main entrance?"
"Well, I would use the main doors…"
Alex sighed.
"However, Miku restricted her concerts to females only. Only her fans with tickets can enter. There are no other ways to get her tickets. She told me to use the backstage route because the fans might blast me out of the stadium if I didn't."
"Oh?"
Noire narrowed her eyes.
"To think these mortals are brazen enough to our master. The audacity…"
"Agreed, master, why don't you just use the main entrance?"
Alice tilted her head. Her bloody eyes were burning with outrage.
"This is discrimination. I will not stand for this kind of treatment against master!"
"Well, there are various reasons for this."
Alex tried to stop them from barging into the place.
"Let's back away from here, okay?"
Noire and Alice weren't convinced but they nodded nonetheless, they didn't forget to purse their lips of course.
???
In the hallway reserved for staff of the plaza, Alex's group walked forward despite the female staff giving them weird looks.
Noire was like a country bumpkin who just arrived in the city. She kept looking at everything she passed by. Then, she turned her attention towards the staff working near them. She tilted her head.
"Why are all the people here women?"
"I wonder as well."
Alice looked around too.
"I also have the same question in mind."
"You're right, they are all women."
Sera asked Alex.
"What's going on? Alex."
"Hmm..."
Alex rubbed his nose.
"I know the reason but I don't think you girls should know the answer lest you regret coming with me.''
The girls except for Luna and Sakuya exchanged confused looks. Before they could ask anything, Alex interrupted them.
"We are here!"
Alex stopped outside a preparation room. The others also stopped.
"You must be careful!"
Artemia cautioned Alex.
"Don't forget what happened last time, Maria attacked you without saying anything. I know you two built up a good relationship but that's only on the phone.''
Alex shook his head. He knocked on the door.
"Come in!''
An intoxicating voice greeted them from within the cold hard door. Gracier, Saeko, and the other's hair stood on ends. Their expressions also loosened up.
Alex bitterly laughed.
"As expected of the idol, Maria's voice is still as captivating as usual."
Alex pushed open the door to her preparation room.
There was only one individual in the preparation room.
Her long black hair was the most striking feature that entered their eyes. Her icy blue eyes sparkled like the purest blue jewel. Her figure was also explosively good, she wore a white dress that paired well with her glowing skin.
After the last encounter, Maria still looked as beautiful as when they first met. She still looked like a beauty from a fairy tale. The others except for Luna and Sakuya were stunned by Maria's appearance. They seemed to have finally understood something.
