Mash-up Anime World: Creating the SCP Foundation to Contain Anomalies Chapter 193 - 191: Tokyo Dome Performance, Elysium

Boochi didn't stay in her daze for long before reality pulled her back. The vision was wonderful, but completely unattainable!

She simply didn't have the courage to face such a massive audience.

At that mont, however, Haruto suddenly handed Little Loneliness a pair of glasses.

Hitori held the glasses, feeling puzzled.

"Excuse , what is this...?"

Haruto didn't answer, only gesturing for her to try them on.

Still confused, Hitori put the glasses on.

In the next instant, the world before her eyes changed drastically.

Everything in the room seed to be overlaid with an ani-like filter, making it appear just like a manga. More importantly, when she looked at the others, they had transford into various anthropomorphic figures—such as a child's guitar, a pumpkin, and a little train.

Hitori's eyes widened in astonishnt.

"This! This is amazing!" she exclaid excitedly.

If this was how the world looked, even facing an unfamiliar audience wouldn't seem so scary.

The other three gathered around, curiously examining the glasses.

"What is this?"

Ijichi Nijika asked, intrigued.

"A type of smart glasses connected to a cloud platform. The AI automatically processes the visuals before displaying them to the user," Haruto explained.

"The current filter is a children's filter, typically used for kids under six years old... cough Anyway, it should help Boochi sowhat with her social anxiety."

Hearing this, the other three widened their eyes in shock. Sothing like this actually exists?!

"Um... are there more?"

Kita asked hesitantly.

Even Ijichi Nijika looked over with anticipation.

Even Ryo, who was usually indifferent, turned her gaze toward him.

Haruto was montarily speechless.

But he quickly understood.

Though the three weren't socially anxious like Boochi, they still lacked experience performing on large stages. Facing fifty-five thousand people in the Tokyo Do was daunting.

So, he took out three more pairs of glasses and handed them over, also teaching them how to adjust the filters.

In truth, these glasses were a product of the Foundation.

They were originally designed as counterasures for dealing with Shy Guy (SCP-096).

The initial concept was that the AI would scan images in real-ti, detect the face of Shy Guy, and blur it before the user could see it.

However, after testing, the device was proven ineffective.

Even though the glasses successfully censored Shy Guy's face in real-ti, he still entered a rampage and tore apart the test subject.

Later, the Foundation theorized that although the AI processing delay was only 0.03 seconds—imperceptible to the human eye—it was enough for Shy Guy to sense that soone had seen his face.

But that was beside the point...

After handing over the four failed experintal products, Haruto gave them so words of encouragent before leaving the backstage area.

"President, you've really helped a lot..."

Miyako said sincerely.

If the four girls could overco their stage fright, the performance would undoubtedly be amazing.

"Well, I was the one who caused this trouble in the first place," Haruto said with a smile, waving his hand casually before saying goodbye to Saito Kyoko and heading to the audience seats.

Thanks to so arrangents, he had secured the best seat—front row, center.

By the ti he quietly slipped into the audience area, the massive Tokyo Do was nearly full.

Looking around, all he could see were excited fans.

These were all Hoshino Ai's supporters.

Many idols and stars had perford at the Tokyo Do, but few could completely sell out the venue.

After all, while any artist performing at the Tokyo Do must have a massive fan base, only a fraction of them could afford the expensive tickets and travel costs to attend in person.

That was where true fan loyalty was tested.

But for Hoshino Ai, not only were all fifty-five thousand tickets sold out, but even getting one had been nearly impossible.

Such a phenonon was rarely seen in Japan.

As he took his seat, Haruto felt a bit emotional.

The frail and pitiful girl he had once seen at the tropolitan Police Departnt had, in just one year, beco an idol worshipped by countless fans.

Perhaps, just as she once said, so long as she stood on stage, she was the perfect idol. As night fell, the venue gradually darkened.

Yet the audience remained silent, filled with anticipation rather than noise.

Then, suddenly—

A spotlight illuminated the stage.

A deafening wave of cheers instantly erupted throughout the Tokyo Do.

As the curtain slowly rose, Hoshino Ai, dressed in the most dazzling gown in the world, stepped into the light, one graceful step at a ti.

"Hoshino Ai!" "Hoshino Ai!" "Hoshino Ai!"

Chants of her na swept through the arena like a tidal wave.

The music began.

"No matter whose gaze, it will be drawn to you..."

"You are the perfect and ultimate idol..."

"No matter who, they will worship you as their faith..."

"You are the greatest and invincible idol..."

To warm up the audience, she naturally started with her most popular song—Idol.

(Which was also the the song of all her devoted fans.)

Truthfully, there was no need for a warm-up. The mont Hoshino Ai appeared, the atmosphere had already reached its peak.

No matter where one looked, all eyes were drawn to her.

As she finished her solo performance, the cheers threatened to lift the Tokyo Do's roof off.

"Welco, everyone, to Ai's anniversary concert! Thank you all for your love and support!"

Hoshino Ai's gaze swept over the tens of thousands of spectators before finally landing on Haruto, seated in the very front row.

At that mont, the smile on her face was so real.

Although she usually wore a fake smile, believing that lies were the essence of an idol—

At least at this mont, Hoshino Ai was genuine.

"For the opening performance, I'll be singing a new song. I love this one—because soone special gave it to ."

That unscripted line nearly caused the venue to explode.

Haruto's mouth twitched slightly.

As expected of Hoshino Ai, she really dared to do anything.

However, before the audience could get too carried away, the music started. As the lody played, four girls rose from the stage behind Hoshino Ai. The harmony of their instrunts instantly captivated the crowd.

—Elysium!

"My heart, my breath, all within my song..."

"Co on, let hear your voices!"

"Dancing as the wind lifts , forgetting the ti..."

"Tonight, together—Ah, a frenzied bloom!"

With the rhythm, Hoshino Ai danced elegantly in the center of the stage, like a radiant butterfly.

This song, which once went viral in Haruto's world and swept an entire era, now took the audience by storm.

Its srizing performance and stunning choreography captured the hearts of thousands in an instant.

Even the rumors and gossip about Ai were montarily forgotten.

As the final note faded and Ai struck her finishing pose, an eerie silence fell over the Tokyo Do.

On stage, Ai locked eyes with Haruto in the audience.

Her gaze seed to ask—

"Am I dazzling?"

As if in response, Haruto raised his hands—

And gently clapped.

The sound of his applause brought the audience back to their senses.

And in the very next second—

An explosion of cheers and thunderous applause erupted, shaking the entire Tokyo Do. Countless audience mbers waved their glowing support sticks so much that they nearly smoked.

Typically, idol concerts, especially milestone performances at a venue like the Tokyo Do—follow a conventional structure. To avoid any mishaps or unexpected situations, they aim for a smooth, controlled execution.

At this mont, the only person daring enough to perform a brand-new song on this stage was Hoshino Ai.

And when it cos to debuting a new song with a dazzling stage effect, nothing could surpass Gokuraku Jodo.

As a result, even though it was only the opening performance, many fans had already shouted their voices hoarse.

Haruto turned his gaze toward the four girls in the background.

It was clear that despite having the filter glasses, they still took so ti to adjust to such a grand stage.

Especially Boochi, who kept her head down throughout the beginning of the performance.

However, surprisingly, she was also the one who adapted the fastest.

Even though she remained in the background, she shone brilliantly like a hero.

Tonight, at the Tokyo Do, the cheers soared to the heavens and echoed for a long ti.

On this day, the idol Hoshino Ai not only achieved the milestone of performing at the Do.

She also etched this performance deep into the mories of every audience mber, perfectly embodying the essence of an idol.
