Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

South Third District, Comet City.

With extremely wide streets, giant buildings as tall as mountains, and rail trains criss-crossing the sky, this is the largest city in the South Third District, home to nearly 10 million people.

On the pedestrian street of the busy commercial district, a girl wearing denim shorts and a short jacket walked through the bustling crowd, holding a lollipop in her mouth.

When she came to a stop sign, she leaned against the smooth vertical sign and waited. She stepped back on the stop sign with one foot and supported it with the other foot, moving a little.

Looking up at the rail trains passing by from time to time, she took out the lollipop in her mouth.

"It's really annoying, there are so many people."

This period is the peak tourist season in Comet City, and the triennial air combat competition is held here. Various participating teams in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain gather. They will fly their modified small aircraft to fight in the air. The winner will receive excellent bonuses.

There are a variety of aircraft in the air combat competition, and new tricks appear every year. This freshness and fun also attract a lot of people, so whenever it is held, Comet City will attract tourists from all over the world.

After waiting for 5 minutes, the sign's light came on, and a yellow Skybus stopped in front of the platform.

"good~"

The girl jumped on the non-slip pedal of the bus and walked in to find a place to sit down. Then the hovering airbus lifted up again and then moved forward quickly. In just a few minutes, it drove out of the bustling urban area and arrived at the outer ring on the edge of Comet City. area.

Of course, this place also belongs to Comet City, but the flow of people has been greatly reduced, and rust can be seen on many of the buildings along the streets. It is probably because they are rarely cleaned up.

After getting off the bus, the girl walked across the street and entered an alley on the side of the road. There were high walls on both sides, the light was dark, and the air was somewhat cool.

There are some residents' suspended motorcycles parked in the lane, as well as flower pots, trash cans, unused steel brackets, etc., surrounded by some old-fashioned apartment entrances.

Arriving at a small shop with a simple sign, the girl stopped and knocked on the shop hidden in a residential area.

"Is Grandma Fu here?" The metal door frame was knocked and vibrated, which was particularly clear in the alley.

After a while, there was a response from inside.

"Coming, wait a minute."

Two minutes later, a stooped old woman poked her head out of the shop window.

"Oh, it turns out it's Clara. Are you here to buy cakes today too?"

"Yes, please, Grandma Fu, it's still the same thirty-two servings as before."

"Okay, just wait."

After speaking, the old man took out four white boxes from the refrigerator in the store. Each box contained eight pastries. These pastries were made of special glutinous rice flour, and a layer of osmanthus brown sugar powder was sprinkled on the surface. It was very delicious. It's sweet and filling.

After packing the four boxes, the old woman handed it to Clara, "This is not good for long-term consumption. You need to supplement protein and vitamins."

"I'm just here for a midnight snack. It's too much trouble to cook at night. Thank you, Grandma Fu." Clara took the bag, then leaned her wrist against the payment machine to pay, and then waved goodbye to this old woman.

Carrying her favorite pastries, Clara continued walking into the alley, then got into an old-fashioned apartment and followed the elevator directly to the floor where she lived.

After carving out the house she rented, Clara walked in. All kinds of sundries were scattered in the room. There were clothes that had been changed, game consoles that had not been put away after playing, and cards for divination, which can assist in the practice of extraordinary things. Sequence of small ritual formations, blankets dropped on the floor, drink bottles crooked, uneaten snacks, etc.

After taking off her shoes, Clara put on her slippers and went to the bathroom to rinse her feet first, and then simply washed her face with water. Then she avoided all the debris, came to her bed, and jumped on it.

"Huh, it's more comfortable at home." After walking for a long time, she leaned on the bed and suddenly didn't want to move, and buried her whole face in the quilt.

After a while, she stood up and sat on the bed. First she opened the pastry box she just bought next to her, took out a piece to taste, and then flipped through the interface projected by her personal terminal with one hand.

Wandering around various forums, Clara quickly filtered all kinds of information. When she encountered a post she was interested in, she would enter it and take a look. However, most of them would be cut out before they were finished.

"It's boring. Some media are talking nonsense again. They do vulgar things over and over again."

Turning off the interface, Clara stuffed the half-bitten pastry into her mouth, then leaned down, reached for the unfinished drink on the floor in the distance, and took it back into her hand.

‘Qi—’ Unscrew the lid, a weak airflow gushes out, and the bubbles in the drink liquid stir.

"This Blue Stone Coke is getting worse and worse. I won't buy it cheaply next time." After filling the drink, Clara put the bottle toward the trash can in the distance, and saw the bottle making a beautiful arc in the air. Fall into it all at once.

"Perfect."

After eating the pastries and drinking the drink, Clara leaned on the bed and rubbed her belly. She felt a little sleepy, so she simply closed her eyes and took a nap.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that her body moved and she woke up.

Looking at the time, Clara muttered, "Is it already this time?"

"It's time to play a group game." She quickly got up, opened the immersion cabin on the inside of the bed, and then lay down in it.

Soon, the hatch closed and the indicator lights came on one by one, allowing her consciousness to gradually enter the deep network.

——————

In the dark interface, a line of words quickly crossed over. This was the process of starting the immersion system.

"Detecting the user's serial level..." [The Snow Rat plug-in is activated and begins to disguise]

"The sequence level test is 2...3, and the sequence level test is 3. It meets the qualifications to enter the Aijie card network, and the identity is under review."

"The identity is detected as a student and is restricted by the third category of permissions. The user can only move in areas with a security level of A or above."

"Start accessing the game world·Dark Crusade, loading..."

The picture in front of me brightened up, and then my vision gradually became clearer. This is a star port in space. Outside the huge transparent glass partition, starships are setting sail, emitting huge wakes, and gradually entering a state of super-light navigation.

"Just in time." Clara opened the channel skillfully and began to look for the gathering point of her legion.

"Are we here, big sister!" Someone in the team channel shouted immediately when they saw Clara online.

"Come on, come on, can't you do it without me?" Clara controlled the character and jumped into the large mecha that was ready to go. Then a red wake spurted out from behind, taking the mecha to accelerate along the track. Move forward until you finally leap into the vast space.

…

Time passed, and tonight Clara and her friends from the legion fought against the enemy in the distant starry sky, defeated countless enemy battleships and mechas, and obtained a large amount of rewards and accessories.

When the beep sound of the immersion cabin sounded, she reluctantly said goodbye to her companions.

"It's time, I'm going offline."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, eldest sister, we can't do it without you."

"That's right." After that, another group of people in the channel booed.

There are not many girls who play the game Dark Crusade. In addition, Clara is a rare master because of her excellent operation skills. Therefore, she is sought after by many people in the legion. This is also one of her motivations for playing the game.

"Huh--" Opening the immersion chamber, Clara got out of it, feeling a little dizzy.

"Well, although it's a low-fidelity game, it doesn't have Sequence 3, so it's still very stressful." She shook her head, then jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower to soothe her body.

Soon after, Clara came out barefooted in a towel and threw herself back on the bed.

"Is it already one o'clock in the morning? Forget it, just ask for leave tomorrow." She looked at her watch and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep.

However, after rolling on the bed for a while, Clara, who still couldn't sleep, sat up again and looked through her personal terminal.

[The balance on your card is: 2739 federal coins. It is expected to pay 3250 for fixed expenses next month. Please replenish it in time. ]

“There’s not enough money.” Clara sighed as she leaned on the bed.

She came to school in the South Third District. In fact, her family gave her plenty of funds, but most of them were used to buy an immersion cabin. She chose the cheapest way to rent a house and eat.

"No, we can't sit back and wait, we have to find ways to make money." Then she sat up and started thinking about various ways to make money.

As a student, he could only do part-time jobs at most, not to mention not making much money, he was still very tired, and he had no time to play games. This was unbearable for Clara.

"I really envy those idols and big stars. They don't have to do anything, and someone keeps sending money." Clara murmured in her mouth while leaning on the bed.

"As expected, I still have to become an idol, otherwise I will have to work part-time in the future." She thought and began to look for ways to become an idol online.

After browsing through various posts and discussions, Clara decisively gave up on entering the entertainment industry.

She has to learn talents, participate in various trainings, sign a strict contract, and have special points. If she could do this, she wouldn't stay here.

Thinking of this, she finally focused on the 'virtual idol' column. The biggest cost of making a virtual idol was the immersion chamber, and she had already solved this problem.

"Why don't you give it a try, maybe it will become popular." Just as she said, Clara began to look for inspiration from various virtual idol groups, and then used her expertise in search to dig out the black materials of each group. and breaking news, etc.

After ruling out many options, Clara felt it was more comfortable to make her solo debut.

"As expected, how can a genius like me be subordinated to others? The only way is to work alone."

After two days of tinkering and preparation, Clara began to officially operate her new account and image.

"The account is easy to come by. Just look for the image in the open source community and make do with it in the early stage." It is impossible for real people to leave the country, and virtual idols play with virtuality.

Time passed unconsciously, and after a week, Clara had gradually become familiar with the live broadcast process, although the audience in her personal room often did not exceed two digits.

"Sure enough, I still need to make a living." After this week of live broadcast, she quickly realized this without any teacher.

However, before she thought of this, countless Internet seniors had already thought of it, and all kinds of vulgar ideas had been used long ago, and now the audience is no longer surprised.

After another week of losses and poor results, Clara began her second summary.

"Think about what else you can offer."

Talking to herself, she looked down at her smooth breasts and decided to give up the idea of ​​having sex.

"If I had breasts like Millie and looks like Hessia, I would have left the country in real life." Clara, who was leaning on the bed, continued to daydream, and finally had a good dream, in which she became a world-famous virtual girl in the galaxy. Idol, some people even compared her to an electronic singer on the Internet.

Unfortunately, such a sweet dream only lasted less than 15 minutes before she woke up, which made Clara quite sad. It had to be half an hour anyway, it was so short.

After searching to no avail, Clara finally turned to the vulgar media headlines she once hated most.

"Shocked, the number one mecha pilot of the legion is actually a girl!"

"The genius pilot who was once famous in the galaxy was dumped by his snobbish boyfriend."

"She's already driving a 'Red Bull X-type', how can I catch up with her!"

"Big sister, the mad monster, the high school student known as the 'Queen'."

"My left cockpit is as hot as fire, and now I want to shoot down that former god!"

"Absolutely! Fierce! Big cheers! Shouting for me, this is our triumph!"

"I was bullied for three years, and now that woman has returned like a god of war!"

"But, I also have a hidden beam sword that will pierce all your dignity!"

As the titles became weirder and more bizarre each time, the live broadcast room where Clara was in became more and more popular. Some people were curious about what the content was, some wanted to have fun, and some wanted to laugh and see if the anchor was It's really that awesome.

No matter what the reason is, Clara’s online room is becoming more and more popular. At its peak, tens of thousands of people were watching it at the same time. It is rare for a girl like her who likes mecha and Star Wars games to be so obsessed with it. Those with online skills are indeed rare.

A few months later.

"So, in order to celebrate the achievement of one million fans, I will sing in the live broadcast room tonight~" The virtual girl image smiled at the audience in the live broadcast room, and then took the microphone to tell words of thanks, some memories, etc.

"I know that many people are concerned about whether I am a real high school student, or even a girl. I have applied for the official certification mark, so you don't have to worry." After saying this, the live broadcast room burst into excitement, and countless people started Money was poured out, and various banners of congratulations and celebrations flew by.

"Let me tell you, Zidian Lala-chan is indeed a cute girl. You didn't believe it before."

"Is Zidian Lala really a high school girl? I love it."

"I want to marry Zidian Lala!"

"Purple Lightning Lala is so awesome!"

"Wow, wow, why can't I find a girl like Zidian Lala in reality? They all laugh at me for being an otaku who plays games."

"I have decided to give Zidian Lala rice every day to express my affection."

Looking at the handwriting floating in front of her eyes, Clara kept smiling, but the corners of her mouth twitched from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that her income tonight was not low and she had to worry about her image, she would not be used to these crazy people.

"...Finally, thank you very much for watching today, that's it for now, bye, see you all~"

Although she was a little uncomfortable, Clara finished the above sentence in a cute tone that she would never use when speaking normally, and then cut off the input signal.

Climbing out of the immersion cabin, Clara let out a big breath, then leaned on the bed and drank drinks and snacks. It took a while to recover, but at this time she fell into a certain emptiness again.

"Although I have made money, playing games doesn't seem to be as fun as before." She looked at the time. It was still early from her usual bedtime, but she no longer had the desire to open the game.

What should I do? Just go to sleep. She always felt a little bit at a loss. She leaned on the bed, closed her eyes and thought, wanting to sleep but not wanting to sleep.

In this way, until the beep sound of the personal terminal sounded at night, it seemed that a series of messages were being sent continuously.

"Who are you chatting with so late at night?" She opened her eyes, turned over and picked up her personal terminal, and found that it was the junior high school class group that had been silent for a long time.

"Did you read it?" This was the top message.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's tonight's school confrontation, Eds versus the Swarm Leader!"

"Well, I'm not interested. What's wrong?"

":) You missed a scene that you will regret for the rest of your life."

"What are you talking about? Pulin Keke showed off her power and defeated her opponent. To be honest, I prefer the 'Blue Bubble' who just debuted this year. Mei Lulu is the cutest little girl in my heart."

"You have been harmed by Loli all your life, and you don't know the outcome of tonight's game."

"Ah, okay, I'll just search for it, won't you make a video connection?"

"It's all live broadcast. Who can make a video so quickly? But there is a replay for you to watch."

"You would never have imagined that Pulin Keke was defeated tonight, and the person who defeated her was someone we all know."

"who?"

It took several minutes before this line continued to appear.

"!!!"

"It's actually Hesia!!!"

"?"

"What are you talking about? Why did you mention Hesia? Didn't she go to Erin Academy?"

"Maybe, but the singer tonight is really just like Heshia. I have never seen her look so beautiful."

"Heshia actually doesn't wear glasses. This feeling is completely different from that in school."

"It's so amazing, I'm completely different from this world..." Someone looked at the video and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's over, it's over. If I had known, I would have had a good relationship with her in junior high school."

"I regret it now, very much."

"Do you think Hesia will still remember us classmates?"

"Yes, but the memory left to her may not be so good."

"Sure enough, she seemed to have been left out in the class for a long time."

"Oh, I really want to go back in time and be friends with Heshia at that time."

"Aha, you probably want to pursue Heshia at that time, right?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I only noticed on the graduation dinner that Hesia is actually very beautiful. It's just that we ignored her in the past."

"Who is not? It can only be said that Lina does a lot of harm to others."

"The current Hesia is no longer someone we can imagine and come into contact with."

"Singer, singer, chief of Edes Academy, student council president, with this status, she is already a black swan high in the sky."

"..."

"I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything. It's just that we were too young and naive at that time."

"However, it is an enviable thing to have such a singer who has spent time with us and will recall it in the future."

"What about you, Clara? Remember, you and Heshia are classmates not only in junior high school, but also in elementary school. They should have a deeper relationship than us."

At the end of the conversation, she suddenly asked about the girl in front of the screen. She pressed the keyboard and entered a lot of words, trying to explain that she was not actually that close to Heshia, but in the end she deleted it because now she wants to explain These don't make much sense.

"Well, Heshia was very cute when she was little. It would be nice if I could let everyone know this in advance."

After typing, clicked send, put down her arms, and Clara leaned on the bed in a daze for a while, then stood up and came to the window and opened the curtains.

In the sky, the bright moon shines into the room, making it particularly bright and cold.
