Chapter 103 Idol Concert (Part I)
Leaving the park, we went to the concert. By the time we arrived, many people could be seen in line.
There were still thirty minutes before the places opened, and the line was already long. I just hope the place inside the concert won't be too packed.
I had heard people died just by being suffocated inside a concert. That was something I hoped wouldn't happen when going into it.
"There sure are a lot of people." Like me, Olivia was also here for the first time.
"It is a concert. With Felicia vouching that this one would be great, it is bound to have many people." Felicia wouldn't give us a ticket for a crappy band, right?
"The singer should be at a level where people would enjoy it." Now I'm starting to doubt it. Olivia, who saw my expression, also wasn't sure what would happen.
The time was ticking, and looking back. I could see that the line had extended to a sizable amount. In front, the people were moving, and the guards would let us in by the looks of it.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the front of the stadium. The female guard was there looking at us. "Show me your ticket." Taking two tickets out, we handed them to the guard for her to verify our entry.
"The both of you may pass." With her saying that, Olivia and I enter the venue. There weren't as many people as there were still people trying to get in.
Since the concert was held in a stadium, we sat near the front row. On our seat were some glow sticks. I wasn't someone that openly supported someone, so the chances of me waving these things were low.
The stadium was filling up quickly, and the seats in the front were all taken. I had Olivia sit on a corner of a seat with me beside her.
Olivia was on my right, while guy was on my left. It was pretty uncomfortable that he was staring at us. But what could we do? We were already in our seats waiting for the concert to happen.
"Charlie, how long will it take for the concert to start?" It was reasonable for Olivia to be impatient. After all, she was excited.
"It probably would take at least twenty minutes for everything to set in."
"Now that I think about it, is this concert for one or multiple people?" Before I could answer, the guys next to me answered for us.
"Don't you know? Three idol groups would compete on the fans' vote." While it was unnecessary for them to intervene, I appreciated the information that they gave.
So, three groups of idols would be competing? That sounds rough if they underperform compared to the other two. It would be a pity if they had to disband because of that.
"The first group performing would be Wild Gals, the group of girls consisting of beastmen. They're a group that mostly plays music in the rock genre."
"This is a secret, but it was said that this group would most likely win. Since this is their home turf, most people would likely vote for them."
That is shocking, to say the very least. I wouldn't want to be in the remaining two groups if I were them.
"The second group would be the Black Dragons. I think this group of idols was the best in terms of skill. It was said that all the members in this group are all dragonewts. Their music is a constant of gothic-styled music."
"Not only that, they're pretty hot." ... That was not necessary, but ok.
Realizing what he said in front of us, he coughed and laughed it out nervously. Diverting the topic, "Finally, the third group and my personal favorite is Sweet Dreams." He was ecstatic having to say that.
"Sweet Dreams is an idol group that consists of five members. They're a group of idols playing music that makes relaxing easy." I could see that he had the urge to suppress his desire.
Olivia was a bit disturbed seeing his expression. As he tried to speak more, it seemed like the concert was about to start.
I never got into idols in my old world. In fact, I fail to understand how people would get too attached to them.
"Hello~!!! Everybody~!!!" A voice that had been amplified had been heard.
"My name is Felicia~, and today I'm your host for this concert~. Today we will have three groups of idols performing multiple songs~!"
Felicia, who had shown up, had surprised Olivia and me. It shouldn't be too shocking, considering her background and the ticket she had given us, but it was still something that we didn't expect.
"Now that the event has started, why don't we introduce the three groups~!" The fans who heard that cheered loudly. I was lucky that I wasn't noise-sensitive. Otherwise, my eardrums would have burst.
"Then let's get started! Our very first group, the loveable and cute idol group! Sweet Dreams~!" Felicia, who had to announce the first band, had our neighbor screaming out of delight.
Five girls had come out when they were introduced. I would have thought that some people would've booed at them, considering that this wasn't their home turf.
Those five girls had idolized costumes. Each was wearing a different colored version of their dress, matching their colored hair.
"Before we introduce the other group, why don't the five introduce themselves to those new~!"
"Hello, everybody~!" A girl with pink hair held the microphone. Her voice was pretty adorable with a perfect pitch of a tone. As expected of a singer, her voice had riled up their fans, making them cheer for them.
"For people who haven't heard of me, I'm Lilianna, and you may call me Lily for short! I'm also the lead singer, and I hope all of you will be my fans starting today!" She winked at the spectator, adding some cutest to the factor of her introduction.
