Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear-Chapter 332: Let’s Celebrate!

[Books cleansed: 63,040]

It was a massive 63 thousand!

No matter how many times Rayen blinked, it still didn't change.

But how?

To make sure, he went to the chat support to ask.

[Rayen: Is this true? How did we reach 63,000?]

[Propagator: Everyone who will hear and watch your performance will have the chance to resonate with you.]

[Rayen: But the audience tonight didn't even reach 50,000?]

[Propagator: Who said that?]

"Huh?" Rayen tilted his head in confusion.

Just then, Mini Plotter sent another message, this time, containing an image instead of words.

Rayen clicked on it. It was an article published just a few moments ago.

[Gyeongwon's Founding Festival's Livestream Underwent A Crash Due To An Overload Of The Server]

"....."

[Rayen: So you mean... even the livestream audience was counted?]

[Propagator: When I said everyone, why did you exclude those watching online?]

Rayen closed the chat support. He could sense that Mini Plotter still had something to add, so he just closed it to guard his emotions.

This was supposed to be a good time to celebrate. There was no need to listen to the annoying remarks of that annoying system.

And so, Rayen just stared at the massive number on his screen.

[63,040 merits gained!

Employee tax (25%) = 15,760

Sponsor tax (25%) = 15,760

Total Merits gained = 31,520]

Unknowingly, his lips had curled up into a grin.

"Rayeye seemed to have lost it."

Immediately after hearing that, Rayen's smile froze. He lifted his eyes away from the screen and glared at Xi Huan.

Can't he just be happy for being rich now?

He remembered that the Abracadabra book page actually costs 3 million MC. Before, he thought he could only dream of purchasing it. Now, he could actually do it!

Everyone watched as Rayen's expression turned from bliss to annoyance to bliss again in amazement.

Just then, Yuzuka, Miles, and Yoo Gyeo also felt a vibration coming from their phones. They pulled it out and were equally surprised.

"The system is up again!" Yuzuka exclaimed.

Rayen's inward celebration stopped. He turned to look at the three Entities.

"Are the Artificial Book pages and the shop still available?" he asked.

"I'll go check," Yuzuka said.

"It's still up."

Everyone glanced at each other silently. Miles furrowed his brow.

"Shouldn't they just remove the book page update?"

At the side, Yoo Gyeo was silent.

The cause of all these troubles was the discovery of the Artificial Book Pages' fault.

"It's because of us," Adrian suddenly said.

Miles glanced at him.

"There's already a solution, so why remove it? We've proven our effectiveness, so..."

As though someone wanted to prove Adrian's words, another vibration came from the Minstrels' phones. Immediately, they looked at it.

[New Weekly Mission!

Mass Cleansing at the Great Library (Every Monday)]

Adrian raised his phone in front of Miles. "See? I'm right."

"..." Miles's face had scrunched as he stared at the screen that was almost pressed to his face before pushing it away. "Fine, you're right!"

Adrian pocketed his phone again.

Yuzuka patted Miles on the shoulders. "It's fine, Miles. I think the Artificial Book Page is still a great tool. Since we have SEEDZ now, why shouldn't we use it to our advantage? I'm sure that's what the Overseers are thinking too."

Miles stared at her for a while. Eventually, he sighed. "Yes. It's a good thing."

Once Miles seemed to be calming down, Yuzuka glanced at the two Unaffiliated Entities and changed the topic.

"Since everything has stabilized now, shouldn't you also register yourselves as Officials now?"

Gil and Son Areum stiffened.

"Us?" Gil pointed at himself.

"Why do you think Yu will even look at you if she's not talking about you?"

Gil held back from smacking Miles by reminding himself that he was a good-natured person. Then, he forcefully changed his mood.

"Sure! How do we register ourselves?" Gil looked at Rayen.

"We should probably go to the Agency tomorrow. I remember the receptionist said she just went to the agency to get hired," Son Areum said.

"Receptionist?"

"You mean Misty?"

Son Areum nodded.

"Then, let's go tomorrow!" Gil said. "But before that, shouldn't we hold some celebration?"

He pointed at the sky where the fireworks were still ongoing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"This is the time to celebrate! Oh, and I also want to tell you some good news!"

"What?"

"I found us a good club adviser!" Gil turned to Jiji and Haru. "He's also someone you know."

"Someone we know?"

Gil nodded. "He's your class adviser, Mr. Min Beom."

"Ah, so it's Mr. Min."

"Ah!" Adrian suddenly exclaimed, turning everyone's attention toward him.

"What's the matter?"

"Boom!" he said, simultaneous with the booms from the fireworks.

Rayen frowned. "What boom?"

"I mean, Boom! That paper figure! I suddenly remembered its name! It's Min Beom!"

"....." The members of SEEDZ went silent.

"What paper figure?" Gil asked, confused.

Adrian grinned and grabbed him by the shoulders. "If it's really the Min Beom we know, then you really found a good adviser, Bro!"

"I don't understand."

"Someone named Min Beom tried to save one of our members in his past life, so..." Adrian only laughed. "Go! Go! Let's celebrate!"

Gil finally understood.

Under Adrian's lead, the Healing Arts Club went somewhere to celebrate.

'When it came to goofing off and lazing around, he's really the number one...'

As though sensing Rayen's thoughts, Adrian glanced at him before looking at Haru.

"Can you identify if it was him?"

"I... I don't know. I don't even know someone actually noticed I was in the pool area."

"I'll call Mr. Min then," Gil said.

Yeo Haru's steps halted. He seemed to hesitate. Just then, Liam suddenly came to his side and tapped him on the shoulders.

Then, he opened his mouth. "Just act like usual. It's fine even if it's him or not. Remember, you're no longer Jang Haru, you're Yeo Haru now."

This was probably the longest sentence Rayen had heard from his friend ever since their death.

It actually felt refreshing.

Haru felt all eyes on him. When he glanced around, everyone was actually smiling. Rayen also patted Haru's shoulder.

In Haru's eyes, their smiles felt like reassurance.

At this moment, he no longer hesitated. He stepped forward.

Adrian smirked. "Where should we celebrate?"

"Should we eat grilled meat?" Yeo Haru suggested.

"Grilled meat it is!"

Everyone marched toward the exit of Gyeongwon University and went to the nearest grilled meat restaurant and reserved a private room.

Gil had stepped out to invite Mr. Min to come as well.

This was the first time the group had eaten out after their deaths. Mostly, they just ate in their dorms, so the atmosphere today was different.

It truly felt like a celebration.

After a while, Gil went back with an awkward smile. "Mr. Min said he couldn't make it. He had to handle the festival aftermath together with the other teachers."

"Is that so?"

"Then let's just celebrate by ourselves," Miles said, turning to Adrian. "Hey."

Adrian raised one of his brows. "What?"

"You're an adult, right?"

"Yes?"

"Help me get some booze."

"....." Everyone at the table was speechless.

They stared at his figure. In terms of height, he wasn't that much taller than Yoo Gyeo (Plotter No.4). He definitely didn't look like an adult.

"What are you saying, student?" Adrian said, crossing his arms.

"You know I'm even older than your grandma, alright? I'm just stuck in a kid's body. I want some booze and you're the one with an adult ID, so help me."

"You should say please, Miles," Yuzuka said.

"... Please."

Rayen looked at Yuzuka, his smile crooked.

'Is that really the right response, Yuzuka?'

Xi Huan also chimed in, "Adidi, go get some juice for us too!"

"I want wine," Iris requested.

'Why would a grilled meat restaurant even offer wine?'

Adrian: "....."

Miles had already stood up, not bothered about Adrian's gaze. He stood beside him, waiting for him to stand up too. In the end, Adrian could only relent. Gil also went along to help carry the drinks.

After a few minutes, the three finally came back with a cart full of colorful drinks.

"Here's yours."

Gil passed the drinks to everyone one by one. Of course, those who were underage were given non-alcoholic drinks.

"Tomorrow is Monday. We shouldn't stay up late," Ren, who ordered a cola, suddenly said. "We have a mass cleansing tomorrow again."

Everyone nodded.

But then, Miles and Adrian sat in front of each other.

"The one who will doze off first is the loser," Adrian said, his charming smile evident on his face.

Miles leaned his back against the chair. "Sure."

Watching them, Rayen and Yuzuka both felt helpless.
