Chapter 173: Preparing a New Self (Part 1)

--------------------------------------HORAS ATRAS----------------------------------------

Finally the day of the Festival de Bandas has arrived, where the best of the best gather in this dome where they will be able to make their audience resound with joy with their songs that have been reaching the souls of the whole MidiCity for a long time.

The lights were coming out from the dome, from the streets, practically the city was illuminating the night sky even more with the spotlights, since it is a day very much awaited by every inhabitant of this World of Music.

Everything is still being prepared for when the time comes, the team behind was organized and attentive so that there is no failure that could ruin it. And the bands that would be performing were already coming to be in front of the stage at rush hour.

At BRR agency already some bands that are working here left for the dome, but some were just getting ready to leave.

『Quickly, pack up your instruments!』

Himeko who were running back and forth alerting her other teammates that they were about to be late to the site.

"Hey, does anyone know where I left my stuffed animal? I can't find it anywhere』

Delmin who was still in his room still sleepy wondered about his problems.

『AAAAHH!!!! But how late!!!! We shouldn't have stayed up the day before....』

Howan who woke up and the first thing he saw was the clock, he was very alarmed at how the time was gaining the upper hand on them, he would quickly change and get ready without things.

『aasfaggfdgrdbxdsfsfsfgsgsgssvsdfrssf!!!!!』(*ﾟДﾟ)つ-Oﾛ|>-

Ruhuyu who was brushing her teeth was trying to speak but it was predictable that she would not be understood at all. Her alteration and moods did not match at all.

『Eh? Brushing your teeth? Have you had breakfast yet?

Himeko who was passing by the bathroom could hear and see Ruhuyu who had too much foam in her mouth from the toothpaste. Hearing this Ruhuyu was shocked but then she returned to normal.

『Eh?!!!!!!!!⁀⊙﹏☉⁀ Not yet, isn't it normal? (｡・ω・｡)?』

『Eh?』 (・・)

『Eh?』 (❦﹏❦)?

They both looked at each other confused by each other's different way of thinking. Be that as it may each prepared to be ready and pode down to the second floor, where things were the same or worse than they were.

『Already everyone has their things? We mustn't leave anything behind, a small mistake can cost us a lot』 ( ﾟДﾟ)⊃旦

ChuChu was at the table with a notebook where his list was writing down and checking off everything that was already ready as he ate his breakfast.

『Don't get too upset and worried.... that you're going to make me worry too』. ~~旦_(-ω-｀｡)

Retoree was also at the table eating in a leisurely manner that was gradually picking up more and more nervous speed.

『Come on come on, calm down girls, somehow we can make it on time, let's take it easy, but, if we eat it easy we won't make it.....but it's better to be calm than nervous.....but if we don't hurry.....¿???』 (*'ｪ｀*)っ旦~

Cyan who wanted to calm down the situation ended up confusing herself alone, seeing her in a confused manner seemed to raise the spirits of Retoree who perked up and quickly took several pictures of her with her cell phone and as if in a snap she was the one who was ready of them all.

While the girls of the Mashumairesh band were watching all this, they didn't know whether to be relieved or more worried about it all. Cyan saw them and invited them to also have breakfast together where they gathered, they didn't take it easy and more like they were in a hurry than quickly devouring their food.

『GSGSGSGDSGSGSGSGSDGTESPIREIOPWPRIERPWPRPPI!!!!!』

Moa who was with his cheeks full from the food was trying to talk where he couldn't make out a peep.

『Eh? What are you saying? Are you speaking your language? You better swallow your food.

Retoree who was next to Moa addressed her friend by her way of speaking, Moa took water where she drank it without further ado, passed all her food and finally she could speak normally.

『Let me leave my things in the rehearsal studio! I'll be right back!!!』

Without further ado Moa went running to the studio to pick up things that she had forgotten in that place, the others because of their insecurity or to be safer also did the same and as if it was a chain reaction or a little train they all went to that place, where the assistant who made the food was looking smilingly at the scene.

『Yes it became more fun since they came here』.

They each already had their things ready and prepared to leave, where they would also be accompanied by the President's assistant, where as soon as they left the agency the Pope came out of nowhere on the runway with the car ready to leave.

The potato seemed more defined in the face shot, where at first there was a second of confusion but quickly they all climbed towards the dome. As they departed in the direction of the Band Festival they wondered, no, rather claimed to the one who had to wake them up and make the time over.

『I hope you have a good explanation President』.

ChuChu with anger suppressing him was heading to the Pope who was happily driving so far. Each of the girls and even the assistant judged this Mr. Pope with their eyes. Previous days the girls rehearsed for a long time, all to give a better result to their audience, they were so tired that they instructed the Pope to wake them up at the right time, but it seems that never happened.

『...This....bueno.....eh?!!!! Why am I afraid! Yes I really did warn them, otherwise I wouldn't have happily gone to get the car!!!』-『Since I was already late myself I warned only one room, I think it was Ruhuyu who went out』

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The father told a little story of how it happened, he had just returned after days of work to stop that threat already warned, but when he arrived he noticed that he would not have time to bring the car here, so without further ado he knocked on a room where it opened and the one who received him was Ruhuyu who was in pajamas and a beanie.

『Ah, it's you Ruhuyu, could you wake up the others in 10 minutes? It's about time for them to get ready to leave, I entrust you』.

Without further ado the presiding potato then withdrew, where Ruhuyu without further ado closed the door, but she was not fully awake but rather half asleep and did not understand everything the potato said to her. Her eyes were half-closed and her body was moving awkwardly.

『Eh?('〜｀*) zzz What? 10 minutes....It's still night, but what does the potato say....(๑ᵕ⌓ᵕ̤)night is for sleeping.....A mimir』 - =͟͟͞͞ (¦3[▓▓])

Without further ado without any worries, Ruhuyu crawled into her bed and went back to sleep calmly without anyone knowing and without telling anyone.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pope President after telling felt confident that he did nothing wrong and even claimed that he was fine shaking his head. But still all eyes were still on him that the gentleman was surprised.

『But it didn't cost you anything to warn all of us』.

ChuChu again would turn to the pope who this one was sweating already from nerves. Where another person would lash out, putting the potato between a rock and a hard place.

『Even if you should have shouted or forced your way in to wake us up, this is very important』.

Himeko also judged and gave other options that the President could have taken. Where this one would not stay to always be crossed out to him.

『That would be a violation of privacy!!!! And I am a man who respects the rules, I would never do that to my gangs 』 (๑-̀ㅂ-́)و✧

Sure leaving everything aside from this, it will be just to have a teme to talk about and have their worries go away, they started to bother the president to be more serious about his work and take things seriously. While in a corner of the car, there was Ruhuyu worried and sad that she was showing it with her drooping ears, Cyan who saw this and was beside her decided to talk to her.

『It happened, we all make mistakes, it's better to think of a solution to the problem than trying to stay in the past, making an effort we will reach the goal, don't get depressed Ruhuyu-chan, it's still not decided whether we lose or win』.

Cyan without further caressing Ruhuyu's head where she and by her words began to shed tears and without further ado she rushed to hug Cyan and in a childish way cried and thanked Cyan.

『『It can't be!!! I just got careless for a second!!!』 』 』

Two voices were heard at the same time, where each looked at the other confused, it was Retoree and Delmin who clashed words and looks each, they didn't know how to react after this.

Finally after a long walk they arrived at the dome where their concern and nerves were gone from one moment to the next when they noticed that they were not over the hour, but that the first preparations for the Festival were just taking place.

『We're glad』

Cyan breathed a sigh of relief where the others also relaxed and as they planned if they could arrive with plenty of time to spare. All of them as a group and guided by the staff went to their respective rooms where they were surprised at how these were as they were very well ordered and had everything, and even in the room there was a packet of crabs ready to eat.

『This brings back memories』.

Delmin spoke where he couldn't help but remember that day where they were also in a place like this, with a crab on the table and where without further ado they all ate, the problem was that it wasn't theirs but another band's.

『Hello girls, you just came, from here I send all my love to you』.

Rosia spoke where without further ado all of her other companions appeared at her side, the Criticrist Band would also be one of those performing at the Festival.

『AAAHHHHHH!!!!! We haven't done anything!!! Let's get that straight!!!』Щ(º̩̩̩́Дº̩̩̩̩̀щ)

Ruhuyu got upset and without further ado brought out those words, where Rosia didn't avoid looking at her confused seeing her reaction.

『But what a Déjà vu』.

Himeko didn't avoid seeing the similarity of how it could be so exact the same moment they experienced long ago. Rosia pushed aside the Mashumairesh gang, as these met in these past few days, but she always has her sights on Plasmagica who we could say are kind of rivals, but friendly rivals.

『At last the most awaited day of the year has arrived, and we will beat them with a big difference, after all we have been through, me and my teammates have been trying hard not to lose this time and be humiliated like last time, Dagger is gone so I don't have to be afraid of anything anymore, only my goal is to prove that the only better one here is me』-Rosia with an egotistical tone was addressing her opponents-『I can't stand being so weak anymore, how many times do I have to be saved by you. ...that makes me happy but..... every time people stronger than me appear....*tsch* Tonight I'm going to regain my dignity and pride, people will just shout our name, did you hear right! Plasmagical? Mashumairesh? I am also able to save people』-『If you ask me heartily I will give you as a prize a signature for each of you at the end, see you later, bye bye』.

Where after noticing each of them, the CritiCrista Gang would go to their own room. Letting see again that selfish and demented side she has, but we all know how she really is, in public she shows her nice smile and a cheerful and even humble behavior we could say, both, her facet in public and behind are masks, how will be in reality that vocalist Rosia.

『At the end he also noticed us』.

Delmin watched and made a comment regarding what happened.

"Good! We rehearsed a lot too, we won't be left behind!』

Howan with a shout and cheers raised her fist, where her other teammates followed suit. Cyan watched this and felt happy, she too will have to give her best if she doesn't want to lose out. Both bands still decided to continue walking together around the venue, where they finally arrived at the big stage where each band would perform, it was too spacious and from here the view towards the audience was extremely huge and unbelievable, who not their expressions were dumbfounded how this is.

『If it already looks amazing like this, what will it be like when it's full....』

Himeko was in awe with her eyes shining, she thought that she finally has a chance to show up in a place like this, and they don't plan to fail.

『Wuaaaahhh!!!! Easily here can happen a big fight!!!! Always me and my Lunatic Punch are ready!!』

Ruhuyu who was happy didn't help but get more animated and stretched her arms, she looked to the side and saw that Delmin was also amazed watching this and smiled. Howan on his part was speechless from the first second.

『(I can't believe I've made it this far, mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, I'm making it, I'm slowly fulfilling my dream, no, ours, please follow me watching)』

Howan wanted to shed tears, rather he was already shedding tears, where Cyan approached him with a handkerchief, and with a smile offered to him, he wipes away the tears without further ado.

『Let's make the people who listen to us happy, that's the reason why we are all here 』.

Cyan finished with that sentence looking at how the spotlights were already being placed in the sky and were already illuminating the sky even more. They still didn't believe that they could all play here, they all became friends, and perhaps they will become rivals for this day? I really don't know, they didn't come with the main purpose of winning, just to show everyone what they are capable of and what their level is like now, and of course, to make each and every one of them happy with what they love the most.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The girls of Mashumairesh since the first time they saw that crab in their room, they wanted to eat it eagerly and this time without the worry that they are doing something wrong.

While the Plasmagica band was still going around a few times to see the place and come back for sure to go over again everything they rehearsed, but on their way they met an old acquaintance who seemed strange to them that he is here.

『Perfect, so everything is going for the best, glad to hear that, war warned doesn't kill people, my mother told me several times when I was little』.

He was apparently talking to the President who decided to chat with him as they met on their way. Where the young man turned and met the girls.

『Owwh!!! With you guys here I feel more confident that everything will be fine, Salagicals *smiles*』.

The boy who has the great label and title of the number one Idol, the most talented one with his sweet voice and appearance of a galactic prince. Shu☆Zo who is the leader of the band Trichronika.

『Again he still can't say our name right....』

Retoree was already tired of this, apparently Shu☆Zo is not able to say the name of the bands right. He was supposed to be on a tour of the galaxy, but for some strange reason he's here and he's also going to participate in the Band Festival.

『The real reason why I came back was because of the news you already know, we don't know how that threat can attack, if what they really say is so dangerous I can't let it pass out of sight, that's why I came back』.

『That really makes us happy, but there's only you? I don't see the others』.

Cyan was asking about the other 2 members that make up the band.

『Ah, Riku and Kai are going to continue with the tour, we can't also cancel it and leave it half way, there are many planets that were happy for our announcement that we will be going and I can't disappoint them, but don't worry, it will only be one performance where I will be performing as a hologram, when it's all over I will go straight anyway to with them to continue with the tour, sorry for not being there present when the next concert starts』.

Shu☆Zo gave his reasons why he is here, this is the hardest working guy we can say in this world, he is always the one who puts his shoulder and decides to take the weight himself, and because of this they say he is sick, he already several times went to his personal environment to be checked, he takes medicine to make him feel better, he suffers from extreme exhaustion , much worse than Hiro we could say, but unlike him, he if accepts all possible help.

『I hope you can give us a hand, I count on you *smiles*』.

Without further ado, the young man retired to plan everything and to check that everything went well, with him here, he made things much safer and calmed the atmosphere with his presence alone.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While after eating the big crab there, Mashumairesh would go to a small rehearsal room where they could rehearse a little more before the performance, still rehearsing all these days, they still want to be more confident. But as they entered they met a band who are old acquaintances to them as well. The music inside the room enveloped the whole place with their tone and melody. 🎵♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫🎵

『Yes you guys went far, I knew you had potential Howan』.

Rararin who was the leader of the band REIJINGSIGNAL who would also perform at the Band Festival.

『AHH!!! Hi Howan!!! At years old, you're still just as cute and cute hahaha』.

Sumomone who was also rehearsing was glad to see Howan after such a long time.

『Hello, I hope you won't miss this opportunity』.

Uiui also commented on seeing the band that they once tried to take away some of their members. While the Mashumairesh band were normal but they didn't avoid being a little nervous, no, that wouldn't be the word, being excited.

『With you guys here too, this time..... this time we won't lose.... we'll win and prove that Howan wasn't wrong to choose us!!!』

Himeko who was repressed clenching her fists, embarrassed, with red cheeks addressed that gang who were surprised by her sudden way of speaking. There were a few seconds of silence where they finally responded.

『That's something obvious, people strive to overcome an obstacle, I've already come across other bands, but now that I know you are here, it makes me excited, show us what you are capable of now』.

Rararin in a contented and defiant manner addressed them with joy.

『We too have kept trying hard!!!! We won't lose easily sweethearts』.

Sumomone also added a few words in front of this new confrontation that will be coming soon.

『So you better give it your all on stage』.

Uiui ended with that sentence where the REIJINGSIGNAL Band proudly looked defiantly and joyfully at the Mashumairesh Band to be able to face them again and see how much they have improved.

『(I know you said that the important thing is to make the people who listen to us smile and make them happy, and I agree with that, but this time I want to win, and for them to finally accept our music) We will give our best』.

Howan would not be left behind and now has another motive in this Band Festival, in everything we have seen we have been able to witness the different bands that will be in this night and they will be able to play for the audience that they appreciate and love so much, since without them they would not manage to be as they are, they have different motives, but all agree that here the one who has to enjoy more are the ones who listen to them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They were just leaving towards the dome, the Arcareafact Band would also participate in that great event, Titan decided not to accompany his companions who insisted on going with them, they told him why they did not want to go with them, so the first thing they did was to offer them different ways to travel, they proposed to go by helicopter, in a limousine, in a blimp, that a famous person would accompany them on this tour while they drink champagne and talk in not very humble ways. They were even planning of how their presentation will be, already some time ago by their request they had the workers build an elevator underground that goes up to the stage, showing them in a shocking and amazing way another showy presentation while throwing money.

『Sorry, you guys can go ahead, I have things to do, see you later』.

Titan left the large and luxurious room leaving his companions to go alone themselves, where they would also be accompanied by their recent assistant who has been helping them this time.

Titan walked stealthily down the street looking from one side to the other that his companions do not see him as it seems that they have been suspecting him recently by his way of acting. Titan reached a dark place where without further ado he opened the manhole cover and was just walking down the stairs, he was holding a bag in his hands.

『『Onii-sama!』』』

Balt and Nickel were happy to see their older brother arrive as he promised, he greeted them and patted their heads and later handed them what was inside the bag, it was nothing but new clothes for the little brothers, their joy and smiles made Titan feel happy.

He promised his brothers that he would take them to the Band Festival and that they could have fun with what they love the most, besides, the brothers wanted to see Hiro and that he would keep his promise. With doubts in his mind, Titan got up and was ready to reach his brothers to enjoy this day.

『Are they ready? Well, let's go, you waited a lot for this day, enjoy it very much』.

It was a family that despite what happened to them never separated and always show a smile to motivate each other, but someone was watching them without anyone noticing, no one can observe him unless he grants him that favor, that formless being looked without further ado, while on his side a portal was open watching how the ashes of Kiara were being disappeared or absorbed in some way.

In the streets of MidiCity people were wondering who was passing by, a huge Daruma was floating in the middle of the track, where above was Daru Dayu who had his Chinese pipe in his hand and was also on his way to the Dome.

Her companions, who she considers her teacher, A and Un were guarding her so that everything would go as they had been planning all this time. What is inside the huge Daruma is what they have been looking for and finally managed to bring, a treasure for this planet, mystery, a mythical object, the greatest crystal of all, where also that formless being looked at them as his innocent victims for what he would be about to do.
