My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 248 246. Song for Watanabe's sister on stage
On the way back, the managing manager coincidentally caught Director Sasaki who was avoiding the limelight. As the chief director of the concert, it was reasonable and logical for him to come forward.

The managing manager gave Director Sasaki two choices: either apologize to the 120 fans at the concert and the million viewers in the live broadcast room through the big screen at the concert, or commit suicide by seppuku at the board meeting tomorrow morning, and I will be your kaishakunin!
Of course they didn't dare to commit suicide by seppuku, so director Sasaki, sweating profusely, chose to lead his team and staff to perform the traditional art of the island country.

Stand straight with your legs together, put your hands on the crotch of your trousers, then raise your head and close your eyes, shout at the top of your lungs with a painful expression, "Red Bean Paste Smith Marseille!", then immediately bow 90 degrees and keep this posture.

That’s why we have the current situation.

Seeing the hard-working staff on the screen, Watanabe Toru, who knew the inside story, could understand and sympathize with them. In a way, he was the culprit for the current situation and the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator!

Watanabe's understanding and sympathy are his business, but the more than 50,000 audience members at the scene do not agree. After seeing such insincere notification and apology, they instantly became agitated and shouted "Refund! Refund!"

Even more indignant than the people at the scene were the fans in the live broadcast room. The barrage of comments and messages were refreshed faster than a machine gun. Some people called for reporting the live broadcast room, which received more and more responses and support from the barrage of comments.

Major websites such as Twitter and Yahoo Forum also began to push related hot searches and real-time hot spots about the delay of Haruka Hoshimi's concert, and the popularity continued to rise.

"Incompetent! Trash!" Seeing the situation getting out of control again, the executive manager immediately appeared in front of Director Sasaki, briefly introduced himself, and immediately gave further responses and compensation measures:
"Because of our negligence, it has caused a lot of trouble to Hoshimi Haruka and the fans. We expect to solve the problem within fifteen minutes so that the concert can go on smoothly! Please give us some time, please!"

The action was subconscious as if it was engraved in his bones. After bowing, he said, "Regarding the inconvenience caused by the mistake today, on behalf of the concert officials, I would like to make a small compensation for everyone. At 1000 o'clock, an original tweet will be sent on Twitter, and accounts will be selected from the retweets to give away the exquisite gifts we have prepared!"

When I heard that there would be gift compensation, even if it was a lottery among forwardings, there were only one thousand prizes, but I only had to wait another fifteen minutes to have a chance to get it. Who wouldn't want a free bargain? The volume of condemnation and the response to ticket refunds unconsciously dropped a lot, making some people feel sorry for their misfortune and angry at their lack of resistance!

Seeing that the possible commotion was suppressed, the staff all breathed a sigh of relief. Then good news came from Hoshimi Haruka's team that Hoshimi Haruka would be on stage to sing on time in fifteen minutes!
Everyone was delighted that this sudden live broadcast accident was finally resolved!
But then their excitement slowly cooled down. One thing after another happened before the concert even started. I hope it can be completed...

Unlike other ordinary seats, which have no light, fans of Hoshimi Haruka have to hold up light boards to get a faint light to see who is sitting next to them, whether it is a man or a woman.

There was a soft silver-white light next to Watanabe and his friends' seats, and the venue organizers thoughtfully changed it to Hoshimi Haruka's support color.

"This is the first time I've seen such a major accident happen at a concert...it's really terrible." Miyagawa complained to Noriko in a low voice.

This caused dissatisfaction from her boyfriend, Kurosawa Ryosuke, and the two inevitably started bickering, treating the concert as an office. In other words, their voices were not loud, which was considered benign compared to the enthusiastic fans who became lively again and shouted Hoshimi Haruka's name loudly.

“When Xing Jianyao comes on stage, don’t act like a gorilla that saw a banana and run around screaming and howling!

"Otherwise, don't even think about entering the apartment tonight!"

After saying those harsh words, Miyagawa Lu no longer paid attention to her boyfriend. She turned sideways and leaned towards Mrs. Watanabe.

Noriko had to put aside her sweet talk with Watanabe and turned to comfort Mr. Miyagawa. The two women spoke carefully, taking turns whispering in each other's ears and covering their ears with their hands for fear of being heard.

No...who are you guarding against?
Although Watanabe didn't want to give Kurosawa a look of dissatisfaction, he was quite angry now. He leaned back and turned his head to see Takahashi and Kurosawa, two men who were also whispering to each other.

you……??

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Miss Kato, who was standing at the two ends of the row like him, looking at him with the same gaze. Watanabe Toru did not raise his eyes, but turned to look at the still dark stage.

He has already offended enough women, and even if he is in debt, the other party is his best friend's fiancée and one of his right-hand men. She took the risk to investigate intelligence a few days ago. How could Watanabe Toru do that?

No matter what the other party thinks, the most important thing for him to do is to protect himself and not look at anything, listen to anything, or do anything.

If the other party also learned from the women in Kyoto and Tokyo, and joined forces with Saotome, Kujo Sakura and others to threaten Watanabe...

At least when facing Kato Yua, Watanabe Toru will not be afraid. It is enough for him to explain the situation directly to Takahashi Rinto. Takahashi Rinto will not let the family's dirty laundry be exposed...

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and at 19:45, the stage lights suddenly lit up, and Xing Jianyao, wearing her stage costume, appeared in the darkness in an instant amid the expectations and calls of the crowd.

The moment the clear voice sounded, without any command, the 50,000 audience members under the stage all shut their mouths tacitly, all the noise disappeared, they just followed the rhythm to cheer for the female singer, Hoshimi Haruka's debut song resounded in Tokyo Dome, on this Tokyo night!
That was ten years ago. After learning that his two younger sisters, Yuna and Rina, had dreams of being with him forever, Yuna's dream was to be a singer and Rina's dream was to play the piano.

Because the boy Watanabe from another parallel world promised them that they could realize their dreams, and the result of taking out a loan in advance was that they would lose everything...

But this was just an accident, the young Watanabe was really doing something practical. In addition to making money by copying and selling songs to supplement the expenses of the welfare home, he also copied several popular songs and piano pieces with the help of Rina's absolute pitch.

One of them is Haruka Hoshimi's debut song, "Idol", which she is singing now. There is no song more suitable to be made into a debut song than this one.

It’s a pity that...the one who finally brought it to the stage to perform for the audience was not Asahina Yuna, but the new "Hoshimi Haruka".

Since Hoshimi Haruka, who was so radiant on the stage at the moment, chose this song as the opening song, she naturally would not sing and dance to the rhythm and consume a lot of physical energy.

In stark contrast to the enthusiastic reactions of the crowd in other ordinary seats, most of the people in the VIP seats where Watanabe and his friends were sitting had indifferent expressions. Some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Unfriendly smiles bloomed on their faces like chrysanthemums. Their whispers probably included teasing Haruka Hoshimi who was performing for them on the stage. It was a different way for them to vent their anger.

They have their own unique way of achieving spiritual victory.

Even Miyagawa Lu couldn't help but complain to Noriko in a low voice. This time they didn't deliberately avoid Watanabe: "Mrs. Watanabe, do you think Hoshimi Haruka will have an accident tonight like she did in the previous live broadcasts, and sing out of tune in front of tens of thousands of fans?

“Wow… It’s unbelievable that the official live broadcast room has grown to over 150 million people…

"If there's another live broadcast accident, it would be hilarious." Obviously, as a big fan of Shiina Kanade, Miyagawa Lu will not miss any opportunity to take advantage of Hoshimi Haruka's misfortune.

"Ah... well, who knows? But I think Hoshimi Haruka seems to be full of energy and spirit... Her performance on stage is much better than the videos I occasionally watched of her before..."

"Oh my, Mrs. Watanabe~ You don't understand this, do you? Hoshimi Haruka's voice is the kind that will suddenly collapse, from barely being able to be called a heavenly voice to a state where even I can't compare! I'm definitely not exaggerating!"

"This is too exaggerated..." Kiko still remembers Mr. Miyagawa's cruel screams like a pig being slaughtered.

Watanabe didn't care about the complaints from Kiko and the other VIP audience members and their self-righteous spiritual victory. Watanabe already knew yesterday whether Hoshimi Haruka would sing Honkai Impact 3 and what song she would sing, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

The only thing he was curious about was that the stage costume that Xing Jianyao was wearing on the stage now was the one that he had just held in his hand on the sofa so that he could exert force conveniently?
The distance was too far for Watanabe to judge, and the marks he left on his clothes were relatively private parts, making it even more impossible to observe them through open means.

After the opening song, Hoshimi Haruka sang two more songs in her idol style, which livened up the atmosphere and made the fans and audience forget all the unpleasantness at the beginning. Then she went off the stage to change into her second set of clothes and a new look. During the show, she also invited several fans to the stage to interact with her in a small game.

They are all female fans. You can see that they are extremely excited and they are in a panic and keep making mistakes on the stage.

Hoshimi Haruka, who appears to have a pure and beautiful personality, immediately solidified her image by encouraging several female fans who came on stage to participate in the game with her sweet smile and gentle care.

This simple interaction made the fans in the audience envious, and also made Miyagawa Lu unable to help but complain wildly to Mrs. Watanabe beside her, constantly interspersed with Chinese curses.

"I can tell at first glance that she is a real green tea fan. The smell of her tea has even drifted off the stage!"

"She's really good at pretending... This innocent, cute, yet slightly tsundere and charming girl next door, not to mention men, even I can't stand it when I see her like this!"

"You're a flatterer of both men and women! You have no shame!"

"I will always love Shiina Kanade!!"

"Don't even think about tempting me!!"

Noriko Watanabe smiled helplessly and could only agree to ask her to speak more quietly.

Watanabe didn't check the time on his phone, but based on Haruka Hoshimi's rehearsal yesterday and after hearing her sing ten songs, he guessed that the concert was only halfway through.

This was indeed the case. She changed into her third white evening dress and stood under the spotlight, looking like Princess Kaguya strolling under the cool moonlight.

She held the standing microphone at the front center of the stage and stared straight at Tetsuya Watanabe below the stage.

Watanabe was startled, but remembering what the other party had promised him, he kept quiet and pretended to be unaware of the situation.

Noriko was close enough to Watanabe to see Hoshimi Haruka looking towards her direction from afar. She subconsciously looked at her fiancé beside her, and when she found that he seemed to be distracted, she looked at Hoshimi Haruka on the stage.

At this time, Xing Jianyao had already looked away. She didn't expect that Brother Toru's fiancée would be so sensitive. She could only pretend to look at fans elsewhere and act as if she was being treated fairly and favored.

"A lot of problems occurred before today's concert, and I would like to apologize to all the audience and fans.

"Without further ado, I originally didn't want to sing for the first time at a concert, but something happened recently that made me happy, and I can't wait to share my joy with everyone."

The audience below the stage, who were originally quietly listening to Hoshimi Haruka's speech, suddenly erupted in loud noise, with all kinds of voices mixed together, making it impossible to hear what was being said.

However, Xing Jianyao tilted her head and put her hand to her ear, looking as if she was listening patiently and carefully, and then showed her surprise and joy at being discovered:

"Eh~ what? Love?
“No, no~ I’m actually dating a boyfriend or something like that, once the relationship is confirmed… I’ll share it with you all as soon as possible!
"But I'm getting closer to the answer, it can't be considered a relationship... If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely tell everyone!
“Please look forward to my good news!

"Well, so... I brought a new song that I composed and wrote the lyrics for myself - "Song of Kimi's Sister, Sister, and Sister"."

The spotlights on the stage faded, revealing the dancers and music behind Haruka Hoshimi. On the left were piano and violin performers, and on the right were one man and three women dancers, telling their stories through dance.

Hoshimi Haruka's singing voice, accompanied by the distant piano and violin sounds, penetrated into the hearts of every audience member under the stage.

As Jiko stared at the bright and clear woman on the stage, her heart suddenly tightened for no reason, and her hands, which were spread on her thighs, clenched involuntarily.

Although Hoshimi Haruka did this, at least she didn't mention her name directly and didn't reveal anything. Watanabe Toru was barely able to put his mind at ease after seeing Noriko's uncomfortable reaction beside him.

Watanabe reached out and held the woman's hand in his palm, slowly softening Kiko's clenched hand with his warm palm, and interlocked his fingers with hers.

Shimizu Noriko turned her head to look, and saw Watanabe Tetsuya's familiar smile that made her feel at ease. He also came over and complained quietly:

"Does Noriko feel that... Haruka Hoshimi's singing of this song is terrible?"
