The guests in the hall were all restless with excitement, and even the guards outside were leaning against the doors, listening to the song with fervor.
Young Kurotsuchi, in particular, felt her blood boiling; she could completely feel the high-spirited vigor unique to youth.
"Who is singing? I love this song so much!"
The equally young Chōjūrō was also listening with great passion.
The Ninja had their own hot-blooded spirit, and they couldn't wait to have a passionate duel right now.
Many noble children in the hall were also infected by the song, excitedly waving their fists.
A few short minutes later, the song ended with the final beat of the drums.
The hall erupted in thunderous cheers. The Princess also jumped up in excitement, cheering loudly; she loved this song so much that she still wanted more.
Even Killer Bee, who was outside with a head full of bumps from being beaten, was full of praise for the song. It suited his style perfectly, and he wanted to learn how to sing it too.
Not just the konoha songstress, but the singing of the blonde girl beside her was also so beautiful! The guests present had heard of the konoha songstress's name, but this was their first time seeing the blonde girl.
"One more song, one more song! Father, let her sing another one!"
The Princess clamored for the Girls Band to perform another song. Kano naturally heard the Princess's request; it was an S-rank mission, after all, so how could they have prepared only one piece?
However, before that, the system's mission had already been completed.
[Mission Completion Reward: Idol Cool Glasses +5]
Idol Cool Glasses (Based on 2 people, each additional person adds one effect.)
Effect 1: My look is so cool!
Effect 2: Where are my fans?
Effect 3: A little peek doesn't count as peeking~
Effect 4: So you like me that much... Effect 5: Watch my 72 Transformations!
Hey! You idiot system! Who can understand such abstract effect descriptions! Get out here and translate them for me.
[Don't be angry~ I'll explain them to you. The effects are: 1. Makes the wearer look more handsome. 2. Allows you to see who your fans are—they'll have hearts over their heads. 3. Allows you to see through one layer of an object. 4. Allows you to see others' affection levels for you; the deeper the color of the heart, the more they like you. 5. The Idol Cool Glasses can transform into any style of glasses.]
You should have said so earlier! I'll have to study this X-ray vision properly! But for now, I should focus on the performance.
"Thank you all for your support! And thank you, Princess, for your appreciation. We have also prepared a new song for the Princess! The new song is titled 'Silhouette.' Please enjoy!"
The girls formed Hand Signs, and their outfits changed, becoming more mature.
The drums started the beat, followed by the guitar intro. The second song began!
"Ready, set, go (Ready to set off)
Stepping firmly toward the finish line
We still know nothing, nothing at all (We are still ignorant and innocent)
Once we cross that line and look back, it's gone (Crossing that boundary, looking back, there's no trace left)
We still know nothing, nothing at all (We are still ignorant and innocent)
Sweating, sweating, sweating (Remembering that passion belonging to youth)
Sparkling sweat spills over (Shining droplets of sweat flow down)
Things I don't remember (There must have been many)
There must have been many (Things I can no longer recall)
Everyone is just a Silhouette (No matter who they are, they are but a Silhouette)
The things I cherished (The things I valued all along)
I pretended to have forgotten (I put on a face as if I'd long forgotten)
There's nothing there, I can still laugh (There's nothing left, yet I can still laugh)
..."
The new song ignited the hall once again. This time, not only were the boys and girls moved, but even the adults began to reminisce about their youthful vigor, the setbacks they faced, and the gains they made.
After the performance ended, there was another round of thunderous applause.
Not only the Daimyos of the Land of Wind and Land of Fire, but also the Daimyos of the Land of Lightning and Land of Water were deeply attracted.
This is what you call music!
What kind of garbage were the songs they usually listened to? Why didn't their countries have such a Girls Band? They were beautiful and sang so well.
That Land of Fire Daimyo really knows how to enjoy himself!
The Princess was still cheering for another song, but after performing two songs in a row, the girls were quite tired, and there were other performances to follow.
Kano promised the Princess that there would be one more song as the finale.
Only then did the Princess excitedly wait for the final act. Kano also went offstage to have a drink of water and then went backstage to play the music for the boys' group.
First to take the stage were Sasuke and Naruto, who had hurriedly released his Transformation.
The spotlight hit the two of them. Sasuke had a stern face, while Naruto wore a confident smile.
"If we get serious, we might be ridiculously strong!"
