< 101: Return to PANTERA (1) >

Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Handlin and Gun were looking at the steps that were making the stage in a scattered movement and were talking in the booth in front of the stage. The gun looked around the huge stadium and said,

“This is a huge stadium, how many seats are there? ”

Lin said with a pen, holding documents to check the stage equipment.

“A total of 104,944 seats, K. We don't use it right backstage, so we think about 90,000 seats. ”

The gun opens its eyes and asks.

“90,000 seats? Is that all you got? ”

Lin folds the document and says,

“It's already 100%. The pre-sold ticket was 63,000 tickets. I left a ticket for the field that day. But even if it's not on site, there's already over 60,000 people on this tour. ”

He said in a loud voice as if he was surprised.

“Yes? Over 60,000 already? ”

Lin pulled the smartphone out of her arms and pushed out the screen.

“The trailer's already had over a million views in America, Kay. After the show today, it will be broadcast in Europe and Asia as well. ”

When he was staring at the screen of his smartphone, he handed the smartphone to him.

“We have over 3 million followers of the new SNS account registered in the name of PANTERA. Imagine coming on a 10,000-to-10th tour, over 300,000. ”

He said with an unbelievable look on his face.

“Three million? Three million in the United States alone? ”

Rin shakes her head and says,

“No, the SNS fan page is open to the world. It's only been open for six days, so there's not much yet. You're welcome. ”

I said with a frowning face.

“More here? The Panthera is quite popular. ”

Rin snaps her fingers and says,

“Pantera itself was popular, but the key message of the trailer was to stand up again at this venue where genius guitarist Dime Beck Darrell died 13 years ago. It was just there for a moment, but it made the listener feel like Dime Beck Daryl had come back. ”

I clenched my fist with a slightly nervous expression.

“Johnny told me about it. If I do this wrong, I'm going to ruin the show, haha."

Rin nods.

“Yes. It shouldn't be like the proverbial banquet that says there's nothing to eat. has a large role. You won't lose your strength until the first tour is a success. Please take good care of it.

The gun makes eye contact with Lynn and nods forcefully.

“I'll do my best. ”

Lin gets up from her seat, puts the bag on her shoulder and pushes something out of the bag.

“This is a field ticket. In case you haven't noticed, we've got ten of these ready for guests. ”

The gun took the ticket and laughed.

“Do you have any guests? The families are in Korea, and the professors have already made a reservation. ”

Lin smiles and says.

“Keep it, just in case. ”

Lin wipes the dirt off the shoulder of the gun.

“There's only one day left. I think I'm gonna have to count the nights here, so let's do one last check. Tomorrow's performance is all set. ”

The gun stood up and said with a smile.

“Again, Vinny, who saw the trailer footage, had the decency to ask the board to put together a plan for the American performance. Excellent.”

Rin grins as she goes backstage. I thought, looking back at the enormous audience.

‘Tomorrow. Tomorrow at last. I'm standing right here. ’

Gun comes out of the stadium after wearing a mask on Haku. As you go around the large stadium, you see a large crowd at the front gate. Seeing a lot of people gathered, he tilted his head. I sat on the floor, looking at my phone, or looking at the people who were eating. The case approached and asked the teenager-looking boy.

“Hey, what are you doing here? Why are you all here? ”

The boy sits on the floor eating a sandwich and looks up at the gun, wiping his mouth.

“We're doing a Panthera tour here tomorrow. I can't make a reservation, so I'm just waiting for it to go live. ”

The gun opens its eyes and asks.

“Yes? The show is tomorrow. · · · Already? ”

When the gun raised its hand and looked at the watch, it was only 12: 30 in the afternoon. When he lowered his hand and saw the boy again, he said with a bloody smile.

“Come tomorrow and you'll be late. Later in the afternoon, people will bring their tents with them, counting the nights and waiting. I brought a tent with my brother. If you want to see a show, you better get in line now. ”

You watch the line stretch longer and longer with your face frozen. I could see the familiar faces on the case. As my eyes widen quickly, I see two people squatting on the floor in more detail. The gun calls out in a small voice.

“Abigail? ”

The two women who were crouching on the floor looked up at the gun. The two who were looking at the case brightened their faces for a moment, and as they tried to open their mouths, Gunn put his index finger on their lips. The two people who stopped trying to talk nod, and the gun raises a thumb and points back. Quickly, the two who packed the luggage beside him followed the case. I turned around and laughed at the parking lot behind the stadium.

“Abigail! Kate! You came all the way here? ”

Abigail said to Gunn with a bright face.

“Kay! I saw the trailer video! I was going to resell it right away, but it sold out an hour after I opened the site, so Kate and I got here a day early. ”

Gun said with a smile.

“If you had called, I would have voted in advance. Haha”

Abigail says, puffing up the ball.

“You didn't give me your phone number. Daniel Weiss wanted to come, but he couldn't get a ticket. ”

The gun scratches its back and smiles.

“Oh, did you? Haha, sorry. ”

Kate, who was next to me, naturally folded her arms.

“But that's why I met Kay separately. Kay's a star. ”

When Abigail looks at Kate's arm and smiles awkwardly, she slaps Kate in the hand.

“Kate! Don't waste your skinship! ”

Kate pulls out her arms, her eyes glaring, and the gun pulls the ticket out of her pocket.

“Here's your ticket, so don't wait, rest and come back tomorrow. Here you go."

My eyes widen watching Abigail's ticket.

“Wow!! Thank you, Kay! ”

Kate said Abigail took one of the tickets in her hand.

“One for me, right, Kay? ”

Gun smiled and said.

“Of course, haha. Did you catch a hotel nearby? ”

Kate shakes her head and says,

“I didn't catch the Gira Hotel, which I was going to count here tonight. Now we have to catch it. ”

He said with a face that the case is difficult.

“Oh, there won't be room in the hotel around here right now · · · wait a minute”

Gun picks up the phone and calls Lynn.

“Ah, Director. Gun.”

“Yes, Gun. What's going on?”

“Oh, you said you were counting tonight at the scene? I was wondering if you had a hotel. ”

“Yes, I've got it, but I don't think I can go in today. ”

“Oh, right. I'm sorry to say this, but I ran into two acquaintances of mine. I think you're in trouble because you can't find a hotel, but I'm here to take you girls. ”

“Oh, really? I'm not going in anyway, so I'll let you have my room. ”

“Thank you, Director. I'm sorry, Director. ”

“No, come and get your keys. ”

“Yes, I'll be right there! ”

Kate cheered as she looked forward to the call.

“Queek! Free tickets and free hotels!!! ”

Gun smiles and enters the stage hall with the two of them preparing to leave tomorrow after receiving the key card from Lynn. Abigail asked me to join her for dinner, but when she refused to prepare for tomorrow's performance, she came back to her hotel room and lay down. I fell asleep with the guitar in my hand as I lay there for a while and flicked Haku.

The next day.

Eight helicopters have been flying over the Ohio Stadium since this morning. In the helicopter, all the cameramen fixed to the rope were shooting down with the doors open.

“This is Robert Perry reporter for CNN! I'm here today to broadcast the performance of the legendary Panthera. ”

A white man flying in a helicopter wind was sitting in a helicopter with a microphone with CNN's logo on it and broadcasting outside in an excited voice.

“Even from up to 900 meters, you can see a constant wave of spectators entering the stadium! We are now entering the audience that purchased the booking ticket! Let me connect you to Victoria at the entrance to the stadium. Victoria Journalist, please. ”

A reporter called Victoria was standing at the front door of the stadium holding the microphone. The audience was lying on either side of the reporter, each with a strange look on their faces, raising their hands or pulling out their tongues. This reporter shouted in an urgent voice.

“Yes! This is the reporter Victoria Lachetti from Ohio Stadium! There are fans waiting at night to make field purchases, and the crowd that arrives after 12: 00 last night is so hot that they can't even afford tickets! ”

Victoria looks at her watch and grabs the microphone again.

“I have two hours before the show starts. The crowd that couldn't get tickets is not leaving the stadium, so the Columbus police authorities have decided to deploy them for security purposes. Cops are clearing the area as they arrive at the stadium! ”

The camera sets up a safety line and illuminates the big cops pushing the audience out of the line. They were violent rock fans, so they were showing up all over the place fighting with the police. Once the camera illuminates Victoria again, Victoria, holding the microphone, said in a more urgent voice.

“The heat on this site is intense. However, police are not relieved in anticipation of an explosion caused by the fans of the highly renowned Panthera! Anomaly CNN News. It was Victoria!”

After Victoria's comment, the camera was still filming the audience entering the stadium as if they were flooding. On that day, every news channel in the United States held a tour of the Panthera as the headline news headline, broadcasting the situation outside until the end of the performance. Many reporters were also waiting in the press room inside the stadium for possible internal violence.

Anyway, I was only 30 minutes away from the show.
