Game Market 1983

< EP. 43: Absolute pleasure. (5) >

Starting with Cheryl's appearance, LIVE quickly captured the minds of the users gathering in the live hall. The character on the screen was dressed in a blue officer's uniform, and the leather boots all the way to the calf were strangely sexy.

“Wow!!! First song is Cheryl!! ”

With the concert opening, Cheryl's Beating Heart was a very good song.

Cheryl, one of the four heroes with the most powerful force, had a charisma that overwhelmed even the appearance.

When her brightly bleached pink hair and clear, shining eyes met my two eyes, I froze into a haystack.

Soon, the moment she smiled with a slight clench of her tongue over her tiny lips.

The real singer appeared on the stage.

“Huff!! What!?"

She dresses up in the same outfit as her character as if it were popping out of the screen. She puts her cool extended leg on the speaker and brings the microphone.

My heart, against gravity, against you.

You know, Beating Heart in my heart.

Her gesture of singing with her eyes closed between the falling scalps resembles Cheryl of Virtue Idol. No, in this case, it wouldn't be too much to say that a character named Cheryl made her a motive.

By the way, Erica, who Kanna is in charge of, looks just like her.

A delusional galaxy.

But it won't stop. I will approach you with a bold kiss that will transcend even time.

A little excitement with the users, she reaches for those who support her at the peak.

Then those who knew her title song began to sing along to the peak of Beating Heart, cheering.

“Take it!!! My heart to you!! ”

She raises her jaw slightly, looking at the users who are responding to her posture, turning around and throwing off her outerwear.

“Oops!!! ”

“Huff!! Awesome.

Of course, she was wearing a tank on the inside, but I couldn't help but notice the heat on her breastbone, sweating from the stage.

At that moment, Mayumi's hand, which had dug into my side, stabbed me deeply with the strength to rip out the entire rib.

“Khhhhh!!!!! ”

When she screamed at the pain that seemed to pierce her lungs, Mayumi blamed me for staring into her eyes.

“Can't you just blink your eyes? ”

“Arrgg! Wait a minute. It was instinct.”

“Instinct? What!? ”

“Okay. Wait, wait!! ”

“W-well, if you're going to fight, go out and fight. ”

I heard a noise here and there about whether I shouldn't have fought with my girlfriend at the performance venue of Idol, which is full of men.

‘Nakamura Kenska. I'll pay for Kanna's performance. ’

‘Oh, yeah. Got it.'

Lively atmosphere rose at once for Cheryl's dramatic appearance.

Her appearance of playing her character onstage seems to pierce her frustration as she waits for the release of Idol.

“Yippee!! ”

“Excellent!! ”

“Khh... my queen. You have no regrets about purchasing your package. ”

After finishing the song with a lot of applause from the audience, she took the courage to fix the crooked veremo in the middle of the massive.

“Today, I would like to sincerely thank you for coming to Virtue Idol Live!! Thank you all!! ”

Finally, her face properly met our eyes about the early 20s.

With one hand on her sexy pelvis, she breathes heavily for a moment and continues live.

With a simple self-introduction, I became an idol. After a while, she continued a simple torque on her favorite character. I asked towards the audience with a playful expression.

“Raise your hand if you've ever bought an Idol Cheryl version of Virtue here! ”

At that moment, I suddenly raised my hand to her question without even knowing it. However, I slowly lowered my hand, remembering that I had been hit by a whole bag of shopping bags.

However, about a third of the people in the audience raised their hands to ask her questions.

Whether she was surprised by more than she thought, she thanked the users with a final kiss on her fingertips.

“Actually, I heard the sad news before I got here. Complete Raon and a user who bought all of the games that came out today were flying on the highway. I heard you weren't hurt. Are you here right now? ”

As I slowly raise my hand in Cheryl's presence, circling the audience, holding the microphone in her hand, she glances at me and smiles.

“There's a drawing after the live event today. So you have to stay until the end. ”

“Th-thank you. ”

“Good luck to you... Then ~ the next song I'm going to play for you will be from the stage of Kono Azza, the youngest character of Virtue Idol. ”

After her stage of acting Cheryl, all the lights went out on the live stage and all of a sudden the surroundings became very dark. And the sound of the drums banging against each other.

“One, two, three, four. ”

Kono Azsa appeared on the screen with a tense voice of a girl coming in the dark. Then Mayumi, who was next to me, burst into laughter and said to me.

“Kono Azza is a very cute character. He's popular, isn't he? ”

If Cheryl's nickname was Queen, Azsa's nickname was her sister.

Bandages on her knees and pointy hair styles that represent her fluffy personality. And unlike Cheryl's glamorous stage outfits, her ubiquitous outfits are strangely intimate.

So her cognitive fans consisted of various age groups ranging from children to adults.

Also, Kono Azza's popularity was undeniable because it absorbed even female users who felt repulsed by Cheryl, like Mayumi.

If idol had appeared as a three-person system other than Tsubaki, it would have been much more popular than now.

That was a lot of Tsubaki songs at the end.

- All that matters is loving yourself.

You can't love anyone else unless you love yourself!! -

Her recurring thunderstorm was also dressed in the same outfit as the characters in the game.

‘Am I the only one who looks like him this time? ’

Even when I was listening to Liv in her nervous voice, unlike the stage where I used to play Cheryl leisurely, she did not lose her smile, but she finished the song to the end.

“Ha... ha... Thank you. ”

Although the stage was less complete than Cheryl, many people cheered and applauded as if they had seen a high school academic event.

Well, they were supposed to be on their debut today, so I'm sure they're thrilled...

After two songs in a row, I thought it might be Kanna's turn next. As the stage became brighter, Director Kang Jun-hyuk stepped onto the stage.

The main director of Virtual Idol, the developer of Complex Raon, stood in the center of the stage and greeted the users. I smiled relaxed.

“I would like to sincerely thank you for attending the live performance of Idol with the purchase of Complete Raon. Then, before I show you, I'd like to pause for a moment to give you a brief description of how Idol plays. First of all, the Virtual Idol that you bought just looks like a foster simulation of raising an idol, but it actually means something different. ”

Those who did not understand the meaning of Director Kang Jun-hyuk looked at him, tilting their heads toward the stage. And it included, of course, me and Mayumi.

Just like enjoying people's reactions, Kang Joon-Hyuk, who was looking at the atmosphere for a moment, bounced his finger and the PPT screen behind him popped up.

After experiencing the heroes performing in various stage costumes, the appearance of the four characters who made their debut today began to be revealed in four parts.

If there was one question, it was written on a schedule table next to their profile, with the names of each region of Japan written almost every two to three weeks.

“What is that? ”

“Well... what's the occasion? ”

Director Kang Jun-hyuk pointed to the screen and added an explanation to the voices of the noisy people.

“In a nutshell, the schedule next to them is the date of the live event. ”

“Ugh…? ”

The people in the audience seemed surprised by his sudden remarks. Are you saying that after the game is released, you will continue to perform live?

However, people's questions were only getting deeper because their schedules all contained their respective locations on the same day.

“As I said before, Virtual Idol is not just a breeding simulation game. To give you a little bit of clarity, the game disc you bought is a kind of audition device that can help with their full debut...? ”

“An audition?”

And in Kang Jun-hyuk's description of Virtual Idol, I was forced to tremble at the unique gamesmanship of the Pentagon's name again.

“Virtual Idol is a growing content game. And the points that you get by fostering your favorite characters are going to be very versatile. For example, a character's costume on stage, or regular clothes. You can customize your characters, like accessories, or get new live songs and new stage outfits updated every month. And lastly, the most important...”

His narrative of deliberate moxation at a crucial moment gave a breathtaking tension to the listener.

‘What the hell... what's the most important thing!? ’

“You have the right to vote. ”

Voting? What's the vote for?

At that moment, I remembered the word 'audition’ that Director Kang Jun-hyuk said in my head.

Is that what he's saying?

“Yes, you have to compete with other users so that you don't drop the precious characters you bought. The method is very easy. You can attend the concert on the day of her live event. If the distance is too far and you can't attend, you can run to a nearby Pentagon shop and transfer your points through a portable Raon communications terminal. ”

At that time, one user who could not resist the curiosity asked Director Kang Jun-hyuk.

“Ho... What happens if the character I bought has the lowest points? ”

Then, Director Kang Jun-hyuk sighed a little and answered his question.

“After the live event, the update to her will end. Of course, you can continue to enjoy in the game, but the event footage of her or the updates to her costume will be completely terminated. ”

“Huff...”

“So anyone who has bought more than one title can vote? ”

At one user's question, Director Kang Jun-hyuk still shakes his head with a bitter smile.

“That's very inefficient, so I wouldn't recommend it. because as you can see, there are overlapping performances between the characters. If Erica, Tsubaki, Cheryl and Azza's performance were to take place in one day, whose performance would you attend that day? ”

His answer was that the faces of the people in the audience were white.

Th-that... evil bastard...

Now you actually want me to spin around and wear the internal injuries that your character is failing?
