"Wow, I didn't expect this to actually work," Kazuha said as he walked, even though some fans passed by on the sidewalk.
"Ha! That's right! I've studied those crazy fans quite a bit. Apparently, they use face scans—they're ordered to hunt someone by remembering the photos on the posters," Aeko replied.
"Your faces were clearly displayed on the posters, so it was easy for them to hunt you," Aeko continued.
"Ugh, that's why they could recognize me even though I was wearing a mask—because the poster photo showed me with the mask," Kazuha said, slapping his forehead.
"It's easy for Miracle to hunt everyone who joins a Guild, because to enter a Guild, they have to take a photo and print a poster with their name and face," Azura said in a low voice.
Their journey went quite well—no problems, no fans noticing them, and of course, they arrived at the concert venue before they were late.
The sun began to set. Azura gazed at the very large concert stadium from a high distance before being interrupted by Kazuha from behind.
"How long are you going to keep staring at the window?" Kazuha asked from behind the open door while leaning against it.
Azura turned his gaze away from the window and looked at Kazuha's face, clearly annoyed.
"You're really ruining my aesthetic view."
"Aesthetic? Heh, you call that aesthetic? Pfft! Whatever, Aeko has ordered food—come to the dinner table," Kazuha said before leaving Azura's room.
Azura looked back at the large window one last time to gaze at the massive stadium before walking out of the bedroom.
Sitting at the kitchen table with Kazuha and Aeko, Kazuha suddenly asked Aeko.
"Aeko, how were you able to book a luxury hotel room with all these different rooms?" Kazuha asked with a confused expression.
Aeko pouted after hearing the question. "Do you think I'm poor just because I work as a cashier? I'm a former top singer, you know—I obviously have a lot of money."
"She has a point, Kazuha," Azura replied with a small smile.

"Besides, I booked this hotel room because it's close to Miracle's concert stadium, and it gives us time to rest before we crash Miracle's event tomorrow," Aeko said with a confident smile.
"But before that, we need to make a plan first—how we can get into the concert without being noticed," Kazuha asked with an annoyed face.
"Ugh, what's so hard about it? Just buy tickets," Azura answered casually.
"Hey, I'm rich, but not that rich. No way I'm wasting my money on overpriced tickets to my rival's concert," Aeko replied with an annoyed expression.
"We could disguise ourselves and sneak through the backstage, but how to make it work without causing chaos," Kazuha asked.
"Take clothes from the concert workers? Or Miracle's crew? But that's super risky," Azura suggested.
"Good idea, but too risky for real—we'd be in a stadium with thousands, even millions, of spectators. If those spectators are controlled by Miracle, we'd be trapped," Aeko replied very seriously.
After a few seconds of thinking, Aeko continued, "Maybe... maybe we can enter during the security shift change. During shift changes, they usually don't guard the security area. Once it's empty, you can take the security uniforms from inside the security base."
"Good idea... Wait, how do you know about this?" Kazuha asked.
"Do you think only Miracle has performed at that big stadium? I've done it too you know," Aeko answered with her confident smile.
"How do we know when the security shift change happens?" Azura asked.
"I knew you'd ask that! Tomorrow, I'll buy binoculars and small radios for our communication and to see long distances," Aeko replied confidently.
"I'll find a high spot, then watch and focus on the security guarding the backstage. When I see the shift change, I'll tell you the exact timing," Aeko continued.
"Sounds good to me," Azura and Kazuha said simultaneously.
"Alright! Any other ques—"
Before Aeko could finish her sentence, the doorbell suddenly rang, as if someone was pressing it.
"Ah! That must be our food! I ordered it earlier!" Aeko said while running toward the door.
Aeko opened the door to take the food she had ordered some time ago. After paying the delivery person, Aeko took the plastic bag, closed the door again, and ran back to the kitchen table.
"Food's ready!" Aeko shouted while placing the plastic bag on the table.
The plastic bag was quite large, almost covering the kitchen table. Aeko opened it, revealing flat big green boxes that were unfamiliar to Azura and Kazuha.
"Now we're going to eat a large pizza!" Aeko said while opening the large pizza box.
"Pizza?" Azura and Kazuha said in the same time while looking at each other in confusion.
Seeing Kazuha and Azura confused, Aeko asked, "You don't know what pizza is?"
Azura and Kazuha easily shook their heads repeatedly at the same time.
"Ugh, country bumpkins," Aeko replied weakly.
"Watch how I eat this pizza," Aeko continued.
She lifted a slice of pizza with calm fingers, folded it slightly so the cheese wouldn't fall, then bit from the tip slowly, letting the heat and flavor blend before chewing patiently, taking a small sip of drink, and wiping the corner of her mouth without rushing.
Azura and Kazuha drooled a bit while watching Aeko eat the pizza slowly.
"Now, your turn," Aeko said with a small smile.
Azura and Kazuha took a slice of pizza each and practiced what they saw when Aeko ate it. But it was very funny when Aeko watched the two of them trying to eat pizza with her way.
In the end, the three of them spent their evening eating together before returning to their respective rooms to sleep at night.
On the quiet night, Azura slept comfortably on his bed. Suddenly, Azura felt a strange sensation in his groin. He needed to pee.
Without thinking twice, Azura threw off the soft blanket and ran to the bathroom as fast as possible.
After relieving the urge, Azura exited the bathroom and walked back toward his room. But midway, Azura saw the fridge door open with light shining from it.
Curious, Azura walked closer to the open fridge. When he thought he was close enough, Azura saw someone eating something.
"Kazuha?" Azura asked.
"Hmm?" the person replied while sticking his head out.
"Hey! That's my last slice of pizza!" Azura shouted when he realized Kazuha was stealing the last slice of his pizza.
"Pfft, you said you were full," Kazuha replied while continuing to chew the pizza.
"I said I was full, but the last one was for tomorrow! Not for you!" Azura answered firmly.
"Sharing is caring, and there was only one left anyway," Kazuha said while finishing the pizza.
"You greedy bastard! I'll beat you until your chromosomes multiply!"
