"You want htly dizzy What on earth is everyone thinking? Aren’t I the Lord of the city? How did I turn into a singer?
"Yeah, just take a look at yourself" Lolidragon shoved a mirror at me "Look at that invincible, super-duper handsome face and tall, perfectly proportioned body Look at that cool and elegant poise (as long as you don’t open your mouth), plus those power vocals! If you don’t sell your bo-- I mean, records, isn’t that a heinous waste of natural resources?"
I glanced at Lolidragon, wondering if I had heard her beginning to say ‘body’ "But, this is an online gaame, and actually holds concerts?"
"And has a photo-shoot," Lolidragon added, and whereupon catchingrate, quickly quipped, "Don’t worry, on’t have you bear it all; at most just a little, little bit…"
"A little, little bit?" I asked with a hint of suspicion "Really just a little, little bit?"
"Yeah, a little, little bit!" Lolidragon laughed with deep sincerity I later found out that Lolidragon’s ‘a little, little bit’ had two ‘little’s in it, so in her on, who on earth taught you your Chinese?
"Wait a minute, this isn’t the point! How aer? I’on lifted an eyebrow "When did you start being concerned over e can and can’t do in the ga--isn’t that your style? The crux is in whether you want to do it or not"
That gave me some pause Before… Yeah, I think I really did whatever I wanted to do A singer… I tilted ! In the end I laughed aloud "Alright, being a singer see"
"Great, now let h the three cities of Sun, Moon, and Star in order to publicize and make a name for yourselves --And earn soon added hurriedly upon catching Yu Lian-dàsăo’s brilliant son heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "Lastly, after you gain popularity, come back to Infinite City to hold a concert This is because, one, we can earn money from that and, two, it can help us boost Infinite City’s population It’s definitely killing two birds with one stone"
I thought for a while, before asking, "So do I have to bring Gui along as hted up ihness Prince, please?"
"Not only Gui--I think we have to look for a few other people and foron said "After all, Second Life has no audio tracks that we can make use of" She hesitated "I don’t know if Second Life’s craftsh…"
"I don’t know about druuitars," Fairsky suddenly blurted out She stuck a hand into her bag and drew out a guitar "I have one"
"You kno to play the guitar?" Lolidragon’s eyes shone
Fairsky nodded regally "Of course I’ve been learning for ten years; I play really well"
"Great, we’ve got one on noted down happily
I chowed down on htly dubious over whether people could ether Whatever Anyway, I’, so I’ll leave the rest up to Lolidragon! He doesn’t taste bad!
"I want to go too," Wicked said coldly, glaring at Gui "I won’t let Gui have the chance to be alone with Prince"
"You--!" Gui clenched his fists in anger
"Can you play any instruerness for more chaos ritten across her face
"The Chinese flute," Wicked answered siuitar, and the Chinese flute? That’s a s inthat three of the four admirers of Prince had already joined
"And what can you play?"
"I can play the drums, and have been at it for ten years too," Phoenix boasted, irking Fairsky as at her side "I’ll look for craftsmen to make a drum set for me immediately They can definitely do it!"
"Okay, Gui plays the guqin, Wicked the Chinese flute, Fairsky the guitar, and Phoenix the dru her brows "We’ll split into two groups then, with the guys being in charge of the hed heartily and looked into the distance "Ti to be irls all like rock on whacked me soundly on the head and PMed toboth kinds of songs!"
Ouch! With tears threatening to spill over, I pouted andalready! Why did you have to hit me on the head? I’ll become stupid!"
"Heh heh heh, so the on said "Gui, get to work on the lyrics and the tunes of the songs Wicked, get started on choreography Prince, start o prepare the perforrabbed the two girls and left so fast that they seemed to have teleported away
"Gui… Do you knorite songs?" Why didn’t I know that Gui kne to compose music and lyrics?
Gui’s expression was extre before"
We sunk in silence for a lint of hope "You kno to dance?"
"Yeah," Wicked replied, and my hope blossomed "I’ve folk-danced before"
My heart chilled abruptly, turning as cold and hard as a frozen fish that could be used as a on suddenly stuck her head back into the roouys don’t do well, you’ll be kicked out of Infinite Band Prince is the exception, but if he doesn’t do well, he can only eat plain rice for all histhat, she drew her head back to wherever she had co veins throbbed on my forehead If my heart was as cold as a frozen fish before, it was a volcano now Da food to threaten me!

As for s were not done yet, I was forced to train‘Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti’ continuously Lolidragon, Fairsky, and Phoenix also kept hauling me away for measurements, or for iinally, as a girl, I quite liked picking out clothes, but every tied into a new suit, I had to face the lecherous eyes of three female perverts That’s not fun at all, especially when I realized that the a… I ran away in panic
However, after I ran away, and when they failed in getting Wicked to participate in their ‘fashion shows’, they eventually got hold of defenseless Gui and weretrunks… What? Hoould I know? What rubbish; how could I miss out on such eye-candy?
All in all, Infinite Band had thus co, dance-steps, and costumes were soon ready
The first rehearsal made its debut in the square of Infinite City
I wore a black and red theht suit that exposed half ofsex appeal while looking cool Behind me were two sexy beauties dressed in the sa a mini-skirt and the other hot-pants In her short boots, Fairsky was as feisty and pretty as a dancing fire, while in high heels, Phoenix was as sophisticated and cool as cold ice With both of thee
Looking at the pairs of longing eyes below the stage, I felt a sudden urge to sing my heart out, to satisfy both the audience’s andGui had written and subhly eh and powerful voice bearing a tinge of sorrow, like how the h, you cry, your every action is ive up my freedom in life for you, I want to be directed by you

As Lolidragon spoke, Gui’s expression darkened In the end, he opened his (To avoid the suspicion that I’ in the words for h we had sung the sae difference I understood what Lolidragon had said about ‘lacking in emotion’ – I didn’t kno complicated Gui’s voice could be, so sad yet deter at me I almost, almost did not dare look in his eyes; I was afraid that if I did, if I was not careful, I one beyond freezing point If Gui hadhuman meat buns

Thinking about that, it see time since I had last beaten Gui up… I summoned a warm s"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Gui ran toward me with a touched expression, and I too watched hi hi behind a "I’ed Gui into a random room and-- Heh heh heh!
"In any case, we’d best up the pace of our practice We’re going to kick you off to the three cities to for your tour within a week, maximum Reon nagged at the re members of the Infinite Band
"Yes!"
One day, after finishing singing practice, I suddenly had the feeling that I had been ignoring a certain four people that I had brought to the city I wonder what’re they up to? Feeling a little guilty, I PM-ed theuys?" I asked with a bit of worry
Yun replied i out a house!"
"Picking out a house?" I paused
"Yeah, as a citizen of Infinite City, Gui said we can buy property for half-price here!" Yun said excitedly
"After selling the ship ticket that we didn’t use, plus a bit of our savings, we can buy a rather nice place!" Jing couldn’t hold in her excitement either "That’s ent to choose a house now; if ait until Infinite City opens its gates officially, we’ll be co for houses with a lot of people"
"Ohhh, so should I get started choosing a house soon too?" I asked urgently, but then I remembered that all of h, I can’t afford a house! Don’t tell me I, as Lord of this city, will have to live on the streets?
Yun askedat the palace, right? What do you need a house for?"
Jing, on the other hand, sounded as if she didn’t knohether to cry or to laugh, "Dàgē, Odd Squad, Dark E Zui, and so on, all the important people in Infinite City, stay in the palace You’re the Lord; you can’t be expected to use ht?"
