A deep sigh pa.s.sed her lips, "It's over already . " she murmured quietly . The girl's performance only just started, and she was performing well .

"I can't put it into words . But I will make sure to convey it differently, through my actions .

Even if I remove the hand you're holding forcibly, I will . . " Linda sang .

Quite a stupid challenge .

The lyrics clearly say that rather than say 'I love you,' she will convey it through actions aka 'her body . ' How stupid .

It was a dangerous and frightening performance . Whether it was deliberate or not Linda's so-called dance involved her showing off her body . It didn't help how the girl's outfit was practically transparent . It surprised Lila that the staff members didn't stop her from going on stage with how stupid she looked .

The girl was practically oozing with a seducing aura, clearly enticing the men in the audience . At some point, the performance could no longer be called a performance, and even Lila looked away .

. . .

For the first few minutes, n.o.body spoke . The crowd was shocked . Of course, they would be . Who knew their lovely and cute G.o.ddess could turn into an evil seductress? Everybody was surprised except Lila . She rolled her eyes, "As expected, now she shows her true colors . "

Lila doesn't know much about international idols . But she had heard of an idol whose outer appearance is like an angel, but on the inside her heart is evil . It turned out the research she did, didn't go to waste, huh? Now she's confirmed that they are the same person . Lila could learn more and expose her . She wasn't the type who directly confronted somebody, at least people like Linda who aren't really worth her time . She's more of the type who works in behind the scenes and watch them fall .

"Lilchan?"

"Seems like she wants to challenge me . I'm singing the same genre as her today . "

Jae-hee pulled out her phone and opened up a familiar list, she frowned . "That's unfair; she lead the opening performance…"

"It's okay, Lilchan is right after me . And I'm near the top . We can still sway the public vote . "

Lila didn't say a word and focused on the judge's comments . Most of them praised Linda . But she noted how Itsuki's expression despite wearing a smile was somewhat dark . When he typed in his score, everybody was shocked .

He gave her a low score .

A low one would be fine, but it was a zero . No, a minus?

"T-this is shocking . Today's favorite contender to win and gained bonus points from the audience received a 0 . "

The crowd was utterly stunned .

"M—r Itsuki, could you explain this?"

"Certainly," he picked up his mic and stood up . Lila watched as he walked over and went on the stage . "Miss Linda, I wonder if you take my fellow judges and me as a fool? While your performance was indeed amazing . It seems like you don't wish to follow our rules . When did you change your song, and why didn't you inform anybody of your decision? And you're outfit if I do say, so myself breaks a few proto calls . There's a limit to how much exposure our contestants show . This isn't a strip show . "

Itsuki said all of this calmly, and yet his every word was like a knife . Indeed, when did Linda change her song? Why is it showing up in the system as changed when n.o.body knew? This reason may not seem like much . But it's important .

"L-lets just confirm Mr . Itsuki's words . . " The announcer seemed stunned, after a few seconds a member of staff rushed up to him . "Indeed, it's as he said today Miss Linda was supposed to be performing Like a flower . This was what was listed up till this morning . "

n.o.body needed any details there; it was clear what he was hinting at .

"How stupid," Lila murmured .

Boring .

Her performance was good . If she didn't change her song using illegal means like hacking, then maybe she would have had an actual challenge tonight . Then again, her gaze landed on the name board list of partic.i.p.ants . There's Yori .

Her friend, however, was missing, "Does anybody know where Yori is?"

Jae-hee scratched her hair, "She came before everyone here today . But then she suddenly rushed out; it looked like an emergency . "

Lila frowned, an emergency?

When Linda stepped out wearing a completely different outfit than the one from morning rehearsal, Lila looked around and scanned her surroundings . She detected no hate of any kind . But she cant be too sure; she has to remain vigilant . More importantly, her gaze flickered on to Linda . She has to admit it; the girl had talent . Her last performance was particularly impressive, and Lila looked forward to seeing what the girl would bring them today . But it didnt take long before a different track played . A deep sigh pa.s.sed her lips, Its over already . she murmured quietly . The girls performance only just started, and she was performing well . I cant put it into words . But I will make sure to convey it differently, through my actions . Even if I remove the hand youre holding forcibly, I will Linda sang . Quite a stupid challenge .
