Ye Lan, Kong Yubai, and Shu Yao appear in a certain location in the capital.
They have long since left the area of the Night Watchers' headquarters and are heading towards the entertainment district.
Kong Yubai looks at her surroundings with a sense of nostalgia.
"It's so nostalgic. The last time I came to the capital seems like it was a long time ago. I almost forgot everything about this place."
"Hmm, is that so?"
Kong Yubai nods and points in a direction.
"I remember that direction is the central stage of the capital. I once stood there facing thousands of audience members. It was a true carnival. If it weren't for the interference of the Stars, I estimate I would still come here to perform."
Even though Kong Yubai has retired from the front lines as a diva, she still loves singing, and it's normal for her to miss the feeling of singing on a big stage.
Although she can still sing on stage for audiences now, it's never as grand as a real concert.
It seems only the troupe's grand performances can compare to that kind of scene.
Ye Lan smiles and suggests: "Well~ If you miss it, you can go up there again. After all, Kong Yubai has only retired from the front lines, not completely retired. You're still a diva now, right? If you make the decision, I'm sure many fans will support you. If you want to sing, just sing."
Kong Yubai shakes her head.
"Let's not. If I hold a concert as a diva again, I might not be able to hide my presence anymore. The current life seems more suitable for me. The feeling of being with Ye Lan is better than concerts."
"Ooh~"
Ye Lan has almost become immune to Kong Yubai's occasional flirtatious words.
Even so, she still feels a little touched in her heart.
Having such a friend is truly one of life's great fortunes.
At this moment, Kong Yubai suddenly says: "By the way, why doesn't Ye Lan try to hold a concert? In this era, it's very easy to create a virtual image. Ye Lan would only need to provide the voice source behind the scenes, and the virtual image would deal with fans on stage. That should be feasible, right?"
"Hmm... it seems feasible."
Since she wouldn't have to face so many people with her real face, there's nothing for Ye Lan to be afraid of.
If she lacked confidence in her singing voice, she might hesitate.
But her singing voice has been recognized by two world-class divas, and she has even performed on an unparalleled grand stage before. It would be too much to deny her own singing voice at this point.
So, Ye Lan thinks her singing voice is capable of holding a concert.
"So, is this what Kong Yubai hopes for?"
Ye Lan's azure eyes stare at Kong Yubai, as if confirming something.
Kong Yubai smiles slightly.
"After all, she's a diva. If a diva doesn't hold a proper concert, she can't be considered a successful diva. And I think Ye Lan has that qualification, that's enough. I hope to attend Ye Lan's concert, that's all."
"Mm-hmm, then I'll work hard."
Ye Lan cherishes her friends and won't ignore the hopes of her close friends. Moreover, she learned to sing from Kong Yubai and enjoys singing. On this basis, realizing such a small wish is not a problem at all.
This time, it's not relying on the Wish Machine, but on her own efforts.
"Don't worry, Ye Lan. When the time comes, I'll create many great songs. Then you can sing them well for me to hear. I'm looking forward to hearing your moving voice at the concert venue."
"OK!"
At this time, Shu Yao's voice sounds from the side.
"If it's your concert, I'll go and listen."
Shu Yao's current interests are almost limited to reading books, and she rarely goes anywhere other than theaters and libraries. For her to go somewhere, it must be something she cares about very much, and that can only be something related to Ye Lan.
"Mm-hmm, welcome to attend, Shu Yao."
Ye Lan responds with a smile.
After a while.
Ye Lan and the others finally arrive at the entertainment district of the capital.
Ye Lan looks at the entrance of the entertainment district and suggests: "How about we meet at the entrance of the entertainment district tonight?"
"That's fine."
"It doesn't matter."
It seems Kong Yubai and Shu Yao have no objections.
As long as they can meet Ye Lan in the dream, it doesn't matter where they are.
"Then it's settled. Do you remember the route? Do you want to walk around a few more times?" Ye Lan inquires.
Shu Yao shakes her head.
"That actually doesn't matter. As long as we remember the map route of the capital, we can reach our destination through the map as long as the building routes in the dream haven't changed..."
At this point, Kong Yubai interrupts Shu Yao's words.
"Stop! Shu Yao, those things don't matter. It's rare to come out and play with Ye Lan. Putting aside other purposes, isn't it nice to go shopping together?"
Hearing this, Shu Yao ponders and nods lightly.
"That is indeed nice."
"Then it's decided. Ye Lan, let's have a good time this afternoon."
"Mm-hmm!"
In the time that follows, Ye Lan, Kong Yubai, and Shu Yao spend the afternoon wandering around the entertainment district, enjoying many entertainment activities, and having a great time.
This kind of happiness is incomparable to before.
Although she had just gone out to play with Yu Xin not long ago, it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as being accompanied by Kong Yubai and Shu Yao.
Because by their side, Ye Lan can release her true nature, without hiding, without nervousness, letting go of her body and mind. This is the true state of play.
This is the feeling of having close friends by one's side.
……
As time passes, the sky approaches dusk, seemingly about to darken.
This also indicates that today's play is coming to an end.
The three of them walk on a street in the entertainment district, preparing to find a blind spot to open the theater door and return to the Rising Sun Theater.
They have also had dinner during this time.
There's no need to linger here.
At this moment, Ye Lan suddenly notices the name of a shop nearby.
"Huh? Day and Night Reversal Club? What's that?"
The Day and Night Reversal Club currently has its doors tightly shut, as if it hasn't opened all day, appearing unusually quiet compared to other storefronts.
Just as Ye Lan is feeling a bit puzzled, the club's door is quickly opened from the inside by an internal staff member, who from their expression seems to have just woken up.
"Ah~ A new day begins~"
At this point, the internal staff member suddenly notices the three girls standing at the entrance of the club.
"Hey, ladies, are you here to participate in the club's revelry? You've come so early. At this time, other members should still be sleeping."
"Ah, no, no, you misunderstand. We're just passing by."
Ye Lan hurriedly denies, preventing the misunderstanding from continuing.
The internal staff member is slightly taken aback and also apologizes.
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Are you interested in learning about the Day and Night Reversal Club? You might find it interesting."
