Jikuu Mahou chapter 373: Open audition · final round
『Then, the appeal time of the final examination will start!』
『『Uwaーーー!!』』
Finally, the final examination began.
A total of 20 people will perform songs and dances one after another. As expected, everyone is just aiming for being an idol, so they need a wonderful appeal. And, everyone is cute!
Megumi-chan is the twentieth of the twenty people, that is, she appeals at the very end. I don't know if this order is a coincidence or someone's strategy. However, since it should remain the most impressive in the end, it will work advantageously for review.
There are players and back dancers, but those people are on the stage all the time, only the idols who appeal are changing rapidly. Those people seem to be in trouble~.
The appeal time has progressed steadily, and the appeal of the 19th person is over. Next is Megumi-chan's turn.
When Megumi-chan appeared on the stage cheerfully, a big cheer rose. She is surely increasing the number of fans by her activity so far.
Megumi-chan who waved her hand with a smile answered the cheers.
However, shortly afterwards, strange things happen on the stage.
The back dancer and the performers were brushed from the stage....... It went down.
All of them also had an expression that says "Are you sure this is okay?", as if they were just being ordered by someone and following it.
Megumi who is left alone on the stage doesn't know what to do, so she is looking around restlessly.
「Seiji-oniichan, what's wrong?」
「Umm. I don't have a clue. It might be someone's sabotage. If anything happens, you should be able to move quickly」
「Yes!」
And the next moment.
Bachin!
Loud sounds ringed in the venue and at the same time the whole venue was enveloped in "darkness".
Suddenly it became dark.
However, it seems to be thought that it was part of the director, and so there is not much confusion.
It is not only on the stage that is surrounded by the darkness, the waiting room and the corridor are also completely dark.
「Seiji-oniichan, help Megumi-chan」
「Yes, I'm going to help her now!」
「Yes!」
Hilda and I rushed to Megumi-chan with [Teleportation].
-----
「What! Why is it still dark?」
Megumi was disappointed by herself.
「Megumi-san!」
Hilda ran up to Megumi to rely only on her voice in the darkness and hugged her.
「Hi, Hilda! Amid such darkness, how did you come here?」
「I was brought here by Seiji-oniichan」
「Seiji!?」
「I′m right here」
Megumi-chan was relieved in the dark and showed a happy smile to my voice. Well, I wouldn't be able to see if I had not used [Night]. Megumi-chan probably didn't see me even though I thought she could see me.
「Hm, because it was a little dark, you′re going up on the stage on your own! This is a non-entry ban except for those involved!」
「Is that so～、sorry」
Even if she is strengthened while trembling in Hilda′s hands, it is not persuasive at all ~. Well, it's in the dark, let's pretend not to be seen.
「Well, as long as I become an idol, I will manage this kind of trouble as much as I can!」
Megumi is still trembling with her feet.
And at that time. In my head, an alarm sounded.
Suddenly, when looking at the surroundings...... a man from the audience seat was going to crawl up on the stage.
What is that guy!
The man was wearing "night vision goggles" and had a "knife" in his hand.
I disappeared so that he couldn't see me even with the night goggles using [Night shade] and I went around behind the man without sound.
Don.
I quickly grasped the head of that man and hit it on the floor.
「Mugyaa......」
The guy probably didn't expect to be attacked at all in this darkness. He lost consciousness with a blow.
「Wait, Maruyama! What is the current sound?」
Megumi-chan is frightened.
「Ah, I'm sorry, I was about to fart, but it came out when I tried to leave a bit」
「Yo, you're an idiot! What are you doing at such times!」
I seem to have been able to deceive her well. But the crisis had not yet gone.
In addition to the defeated man, two people are going to crawl out of different places on the stage. They also have a knife, while each was wearing night vision goggles.
Don.「Ugya......」
Don.「Kugya......」
I approach them quickly and neutralize them. Who the hell are these guys?
When I saw that they were wearing night vision goggles, the blackout might have been a part of their plan.
If they are left here, it will become a fuss when the power outage recovers, and it becomes impossible for Megumi-chan to do her appeal. I dragged the three who had been defeated and moved them to a place with no people in the stage sleeves.
「Hey, Maruyama, what are you doing!」
「Sorry sorry, again farts are about to come out!」
「Don't be so close to me!」
Well, what shall I do? I want to watch these three people, but leaving Megumi-chan's side is also a problem.
Shall I call her here?
I used [Summon Dark Spirit] magic.
「Seiji-san! What can I do for you?」
「Ah, I want you to keep an eye on these three people」
「I understand! Leave it to me!」
This is the best plan, as the dark spirit can see in the dark, she can keep watch. Even if the enemy is regaining consciousness and trying to escape, she can immediately neutralize them with sleeping magic.
「Then I asked for a moment」
「Yes! Seiji-san」
Leaving the guard to the dark spirit, I returned to Megumi-chan′s side.
