Chapter 461: No. 44: I'm Mr. C.B

No. 44: I'm Mr. C. B

Although the change is moving toward a good direction.

I'm probably a liar, huh? / I must be lying again.

yeaaaaaah!

But Aomo felt that his thinking from an hour ago was still a bit rash.

Even alone, you can laugh happily? / What are you saying, one can also laugh happily alone?

yeaaaaaah!

Oh oh!

Very impressive~!

Moreover…… inviting her to KTV was just a casual suggestion, trying to widen Qian's social circle.

It was idealistic: hoping friends could get to know each other, that sort of original intention, but if they didn't click, it didn't matter.

You want to know me more? / Want to understand you more?

Wei! Wei!

""Better than expected! Qian-chan!"

""Oh~~" "..."

But it's fine if we just happen to get along well; why then……

How did it turn into her singing up there?

It's fine if she's singing up there, but why is the song her own character song?!

"Want to Know You More" / Want to understand you more.

This track usually gives the impression of being written to sell yuri, but from the work's design intent it seems more like it was written for Yuta or Akutsu.

And if you look at the art style of all the character songs from SSSS. GRIDMAN, it also seems like the result of a derailed theme.

Because this show hardly has any actual romantic plot development, yet several characters' character songs have shipping suspicions, creating the illusion that it is actually a romance anime.

Even a certain unnamed girl with twin-tails, the boy Bora, its song lyrics seem like a confession to someone, truly very gay.

These complaints also appear directly in the group chat of the SSSS. GRIDMAN transmigrator forum, causing Aomo to furrow his brows into a shape like the Chinese character for 'river' (three parallel lines) when he glanced at them.

I didn't expect Qian's related story works to be so…… uh…… special.

Only can be described as special; it seems after the broadcast ended, the production team thought to fill the gap, and even added a few radio dramas with extra romance elements.

That is, this personal track produced in such a divine work, Aomo has roughly listened to it once, but he also has a rather deep impression of it.

So when he heard the KTV background music start its prelude, his heart already had a 'grass' feeling.

This 'grass' is not the grass of Jetton, but the 'grass' of a venue in the Jidong language family.

Fuchu Racecourse, 3500m, grass, sunny.

This 'grass' means 'grassland' or simply 'grass' in the Jidong language family.

But at this time, what troubles him is not the freely growing grass, but everyone's gaze as if they want to roast him over a fire.

I want to hear you say that, so I always want to play a prank on you? / Just want to hear you say that, so I always want to play a prank on you.

A lyric, in the brief pause of background music, is the gesture of the underage JK with cherry-blossom hair and red eyes standing on the stage, waving to this side of the audience.

Yet everyone in the audience did not respond to her, but instead suddenly shot their gazes at Aomo, sitting at the edge eating a honeydew melon.

They didn't know this was the character song of Shinjo Qian from a work where she is one of the leads, but the horse girls' hearing is excellent, and the girl's initial question about how to upload songs to the playlist was also audible to everyone.

The specially chosen song is either something they like themselves, or something they like to have someone listen to……

Compared to the former possibility, this group of horse girls unanimously considered the latter first.

Thus at this moment, everyone is very silent.

This silent gaze made Aomo recall a previously imagined social-death scenario.

In that imagination, there was silent contempt, there was sympathy and pity, and there was a bewildered gaze that was pulled away by those who contemptuously looked.

He once thought that was reality, and deeply felt that his talents were somewhat excessive.

But now facing reality, he only realized that reality is worse than expected.

Because among these gazes…… there is actually no contempt!

The dazed Chazuo, the crashed Bopan, and originally intending to change places to continue napping, but now seemingly shaken awake, carefully observing Aomo's Suzi.

And the Professor Datuo, who constantly says 'weed~', and the similarly troublemaking Qianming representative.

""..."

Aomo remained silent, for a while even feeling somewhat sad about the modern horse girls' mental education construction.

But as the music and singing continued, the surrounding gazes did not shift accordingly, also forcing Aomo to utter: 'She is a transmigrator, this is her related song.'

Moreover, what song sung at KTV isn't quite normal…… Aomo didn't say this.

He is well versed in the inertia of human hearts; explaining too much instead seems suspicious, giving the other side further opportunity to cause a stir—from middle school to high school there is always such a stir time; those stirred up are not necessarily truly innocent, but more often are baseless suspicions.

In most groups, this behavior is merely a temporary mood-adjusting factor; as long as you don't take it seriously, nobody will really remember it for long.

Just like now, although he seems to have heard more than one person softly utter 'tsk' and 'click'.

But let's just pretend he didn't hear it.

Moreover, frankly speaking, the latter half that he didn't say is his true feelings.

Isn't it quite normal to add anything to KTV?! (trembling sound)

Especially for those with few good tracks, stuffing things into the playlist requires racking one's brains!

Regardless of whether the lyrics fit, not letting oneself appear purely to eat melon and drink water is victory.

When not being particular, even Miracle Rescue and Babybus Collection might be stuffed in for you.

Just like the tracks Aomo himself stuffed in to make up the number, which also include the songs he doesn't really like the lyrics of, 'Overdose' and 'OneRoom, AllThatJazz'.

Let's not discuss the song for now; at least the choreography is well known and suitable for a dance demonstration—although Aomo doesn't really want to apply the mechanical monster's computing power and his own flexibility to this.

For dancing, two fairly professional horse girls handling instruction is enough; the trainer is merely optional—but that view doesn't seem to sit well with the girls under him or the two outside helpers brought in.

Only then did he have a few songs to fill his music library.

Thinking about it, the lyrics and choreography of Violent Tarō Squadron's "I am the only one!" are somewhat more acceptable.

But that bold, fast‑paced dance style is actually not very suitable for rushing the dance basics of the three horse girls under him.

—At that time, he was still seriously thinking about training the girls.

Also because preparation time is really short, Chazuo and Suzi's competition dates are two consecutive days, and Suzi and Bourbon are on the same day, morning and afternoon.

This schedule is really tight, and he is also genuinely earnest.

But, how should I put it…

He really didn't expect there to be so many 'insiders' in the team.

Rather, besides himself, the trainer's dancing also seemed to have been unanimously approved.

Frankly, this doesn't hinder training; looking at the anticipation in the three horse girls' eyes, it might indeed boost training motivation.

So, as things stand now, he can only solemnly declare:

"I'm not in the horse‑girl legend dance!"

This is Aomo's limit. jpg

But a limit like this shouldn't be set casually; otherwise, even a little beyond it would be everywhere.

Qianming even suggested letting Aomo demon‑transform and dance, which is somewhat like the early mod creators who, upon the release of Devil May Cry 5's DLC, immediately made a mod mocking Vergil 3S by swapping in dance.

It makes Aomo want to unfollow (not really).

Although he's a childhood idol, he has a high tolerance for you.

But you can't be like this!

You can't do that, you can't!

Moreover, the three grandmothers clearly turned around to earnestly listen to Sai's singing, so why are your and Professor Dakuto's gazes still stuck on me?

Any other questions, you two?

He was still holding an uneaten piece of cantaloupe, asking as calmly as he could.

"Professor Aomo!" Dakuto Sun God's gaze was quite earnest, and his form of address was mutual respect, just like Aomo's.

"Should we consider adding DJ elements to the victor's stage?"

"No."

"Well, I got rejected instantly! Seriously! This is allowed by the rules!"

"It'll definitely hype up the whole venue!"

"Now it's your turn to speak, Professor Qianming."

"Huh?" Qianming, who was still watching the two talk, was called over by Aomo, froze for a moment, pointed at himself, and said, "Am I also a teacher now?"

"No problem." That was Aomo, whose spirit wasn't all that stable, saying it offhand.

But he also forced himself to continue the topic.

"Over at the Clock Tower, Hero‑chan said they've withdrawn the charges against Ms. Morgan, but the Clock Tower's database was hacked, reminding me that at the start of this month, the security net of the Junction Ward and the data of the URA Association were also stolen."

"Eh eh eh? Is this something I can hear?" Dakuto Sun God's gaze showed some fear.

"How do you even know about the district‑level security net and the URA Association's affairs…" Aomo was also quite startled, though his face only showed bewilderment.

"I'm a Triple Crown horse girl!"

"Can that be an explanation?"

"Eh? Can't it?"

"Well, I'm Mr. C. B. ~!"

"……Step on!"
