The Chinese name of this song is "Mercy as You Wish," and the Japanese name is "Kimagure Mercy." It was another song from a previous life that, after "Gokuraku Jodo," swept Bilibili. Countless people used members of the Vocaloid family to create MMDs for this song, and not just Vocaloid members, but also characters from other anime. Among them, the one they liked the most was an MMD made with characters from a game called "Moewang EX."
(Yes! The Moewang EX MMD left the deepest impression on me at the time! Especially the kindergarten character! Kindergarten character in a school swimsuit and white over-the-knee socks is the best!!!? I want to hug her! Yes! Her head isn't big, it's just because her body is petite!)
"And then a kiss, that kind of pattern?"
"Careless 'One day you'll only look at me'"
"Although I've had such dreams, you only call me when you're lonely, I've had enough!"
The next person to sing was Hoshizora Rin. She squatted down, holding her head, looking at the audience. At the end, when she sang 'I've had enough,' her eyes narrowed, as if she were angry. This made the audience feel another charm from her besides her usual energy.
While their performance couldn't compare to the seductive feeling of Tokisaki Kurumi's earlier act, they certainly won in terms of numbers. The lyrics, which seemed to complain about a lover not paying attention to them, made the audience shout that they would never do such a thing! At the same time, the girls in the audience began to look at the performers on stage with jealousy, wondering why they had such good figures? They had already tried dieting and fasting. Why didn't they have such good skin and thighs!
"Rip!!!" * N
The more unhappy the girls became, the more irritated they grew as they saw their male companions' excited expressions. They reached out and twisted their partners' waists by more than ninety degrees, only letting go after seeing their faces turn pale. This made the single men without female companions begin to celebrate their lack of partners. (Serves you right to be single forever!)
"It's meaningless no matter how I promote it, even though you won't notice me."
"But when I'm lonely, come see me!"
During this segment, Toujou Nozomi left the group and sang alone in front of the audience. As she sang, an inexplicable blush appeared on her face, and on the last line, she cupped her face with both hands, tilted her head with a smile, causing all the boys in the venue to feel a sudden 'thump' in their hearts, beating wildly.
"I never expected that short grey-haired person to be a girl. When I saw her at the stall before, I thought she was just a young boy drawing doujinshi. I never imagined such a beautiful girl would draw doujinshi." A certain otaku said excitedly, watching Honjou Nia constantly display her S-shaped curves with the twisting of her waist.
"No! Look at the purple-haired one, she's truly good. I guarantee her figure is absolutely the best among these people; those breasts are something even some adult women can't achieve." They were all just flat chests and basins. However, when he said this, it attracted many hateful glares. This was another person destined to be single. Didn't he know that some things about girls shouldn't be discussed casually?
"I think the blue-haired loli is truly good. Her shy expression and pure appearance make one feel like wanting to protect her well. But unfortunately, she already belongs to that flaxen-haired girl. Although it's a bit regrettable, they can still be blessed. Lolis are the best!?" A loli con in the venue said regretfully, but thinking that Minami Kotori was also a beautiful girl, that little regret in his heart vanished. He then let out a huge shout that even Yoshino on stage heard, causing a drop of cold sweat to trickle down her forehead.
'There are really a lot of loli con.' Yoshino thought somewhat helplessly. Don't they know that having thoughts about lolis means a minimum of three years in prison, with a maximum penalty of death?
"Nah? Maybe Melty?"
"1.2 Shall We Dance?"
"Let's dance together, quickly, hand in hand, let's hold hands. The last wish is!"
Then Toujou Nozomi and a few others stood in a row, holding hands. Yoshino then passed through the middle of the four, bent her middle and ring fingers of her right hand and placed them on her cheek, blinked, and made a cute gesture to the audience.
"Love me as if you're drowning!"
Then the five stood in a row, all cupping their faces with both hands. They slightly parted their mouths as if secretly whispering their wishes to their lovers. After shaking their heads left and right, they all smiled faintly at the audience. This smile made the audience's hearts skip a beat even more than Toujou Nozomi's smile just now.
If Toujou Nozomi's solo smile just now was like a static shock, then the five beautiful girls smiling at them together felt like ten thousand volts, making them instantly almost lose their minds from the electric shock.
"How amazing." Itsuka Miku, who had been watching their performance, couldn't help but exclaim. This kind of performance was only stronger, not weaker, than others. They seemed to understand what the other would do next without any explicit communication; no flaws could be found.
"I underestimated them before; it seems I was too arrogant. If only three people here are this amazing, how much of a stir would it create if all nine members of 'Muse' gathered?" She shook her head helplessly. Although there were no agreements about winning or losing between them, she knew that she had lost this performance. She couldn't compare to such a wonderful performance.
"Get That Last Dance"
"Are you ready?"
"Mercy as you please... How does it taste?"
The performance on stage was nearing its end. The people on stage extended their hands, gesturing for the audience to come closer. Finally, through a spin, Yoshino stood in the middle, pressing her index finger to her lips, while Hoshizora Rin and Honjou Nia knelt in front of her. Toujou Nozomi and Minami Kotori stood behind Yoshino, one stroking her hair, the other clenching her fist and pressing it against her face.
"Oh!!!?" Amidst the audience's enthusiastic cheers, the performance ended. Watching the audience look as if they were pumped up, the girls exchanged smiles, bowed to the audience, and then left the stage.
But on the other side of the stage, Tobiichi Origami, who was with Itsuka Shido, suddenly received a message on her phone. After she opened it, her pupils instantly dilated. She then turned to look at Itsuka Shido in front of her, a troubled expression on her face. Clenching the phone in her hand, she thought of the message she had just received, gritted her teeth, and recalled the great fire five years ago, and the enemy who killed her parents!
"Efreet!!"
At this moment, Westcott, in the DEM Industries headquarters, looked at the data he had sent out and a slight smile appeared on his lips. This was the first time he had felt joy since Ellen was taken away by Ratatoskr's people. Many plans could not be implemented due to the sudden incident last time, which caused his always calm personality to show a hint of anger. If it weren't for Hermit, he might have already obtained her spirit crystal from Sister.
After thinking about Tobiichi Origami's hatred for Spirits, he found the accident from five years ago in DEM Industries and sent information about Efreet to her. He had already imagined what expression Tobiichi Origami would have when she saw the message he sent her.
Although he had lost his most important combat power, Ellen, he had Tobiichi Origami, who harbored immense hatred for Spirits. He believed that with proper training, she would become an excellent pawn.
"I will get my revenge for the last time, Hermit. Isn't your power very strong? Let me see if you can withstand the gift I have meticulously prepared for you. I hope you will like it then. Everyone in Tengu City, please look forward to the grand gift I send out!"
