Chapter 96: A Mother’s Voice

"I found it!"

Seeing the happiness within Xu Jiji’s eyes, Rayen also couldn’t help but smile. He peeked at the screen of the little kid’s phone and read the description of the book page he just found.

[A Mother’s Voice: If your body is your greatest weapon, then your mother’s voice is her most lethal weapon. Remember how it could suddenly turn into a machine gun?

Effect: Vocal Chords Control (200%)

Duration: 14 Days]

Rayen pursed his lips at the description.

He recalled the description friom the Boom Boom Body enhancer he bought before, and it seemed like this page was created after that page.

"My mom definitely has this skill," Xu Jiji muttered.

Rayen laughed, dismissing his impertinent thoughts about his own mother.

It was a joyous occasion now that Xu Jiji was able to find a book page that was of help to his predicament. If he could control his vocal chords, it would lessen the strain on his throat, also lessening the frequency of his voice cracking.

Watching from the side, Rayen thought the innocent face of Xu Jiji merrily celebrating was really cute. He smiled, resisting the urge to pat Xu Jiji’s head. Mr. Big News was also happy from the news and sincerely congratulated him.

"Thank you. You’re really not as bad as I thought," Xu Jiji said as he smiled at Rayen.

’What did you even think of me before?’

"I’ll also follow your advice. I can’t solely rely on these things," he added. "Please teach me some warm-ups."

"Sure," Rayen said, feeling proud of Xu Jiji’s positive outlook.

As Xu Jiji spoke, the brown parchment appeared before the two of them, landing on his hand. Upon receiving it, he immediately scanned the barcode behind the page to use it.

"Ah, ah, ah." Xu Jiji tried out its effect. "Okay, I’m ready."

"Then, first... You should try doing a siren," Rayen said.

"Siren? How do we do that?"

"Follow after me. Do it like this."

Xu Jiji nodded.

"Eeeeehhhhh...."

However, Xu Jiji didn’t follow as expected. Puzzled, Rayen stopped and looked at him. Xu Jiji seemed in a daze, his eyes blank.

"Why aren’t you following?" Rayen asked.

As though he had woken up, Xu Jiji’s glazed eyes cleared. He massaged his temples.

With a frown, he responded, "N-Nothing. I just remembered something."

Xu Jiji turned his head toward the big guy who had been watching them.

"Brother H—Zbigniew..." Out of habit, Xu Jiji almost mistook Mr. Big News for how he usually called his brother, but he was able to correct himself. "You should also join us. Aren’t you a vocalist too?"

"I..." Mr. Big News looked hesitantly at Rayen.

Amused by the sudden turn of events, Rayen thought this little kid was really more mature than Yeo Haru.

’I guess I was also blinded by his high rank. Look at this kid, he was the rank 1, but he’s more polite.’

Sighing, Mr. Big News joined them. Minho and Nana also joined in on the fun, seeing that they were the only ones who were left out. They all looked at Rayen with expectant eyes — even Nana who was somewhat aloof.

Rayen watched everything with a tired gaze.

’Why did it feel like I became in charge again?’

Just as everyone was busily acting like ambulances’ sirens, the speakers inside the training room rang. Then, Plotter’s playful, distorted voice came through it, echoing throughout the entire room.

"Heya! For all the teams, how are the practice going?" Not waiting for their non existent answers, he continued, "I’m just here to inform you guys. Please think of a name for your teams. That’s all!"

’Team name?’

Rayen looked at everyone. What now?

"What do you think should be our team name?" Minho asked. "Since our song’s cute, should we go for Team Cute?"

Rayen’s lips twitched.

’Cute? Just how bad is your naming sense?’

He looked at everyone on this team. Aside from Xu Jiju, who else on this team was cute? Definitely not Minho and Mr. Big News.

Mr. Big News’s dissatisfaction was also apparent from his face.

Nana raised her hand. "How about..."

Hearing her suggestion, everyone thought it was a brilliant idea, but Nana had a different reason herself. Sering that they seemed to like it, her eyes gleamed in a strange light.

’Kekeke...’

...

Two days later...

Two heads peeked at the door of the training room — one curly haired and one with uneven layers. Everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at their direction as they noticed them.

Plotter stood up, dignified, and fixed his clothes before entering the room. Eyeing the staff member, he signaled for her to start.

"Team Love Makers? Please confirm," the staff member said.

Mr. Big News immediately stood up and went up to her. "Yes. What’s this about?"

Entering the training room, she faced everyone. "Your costumes are here."

’Costume?’

They looked behind Plotter and the staff member but saw nothing, not even a simple box. So what was she saying about costumes?

"Did you purchase the Luxury Style Package?" she asked, pulling out a tablet out of nowhere.

"Yes, we did purchase the Luxury Style Package," Mr. Big News answered.

"Then, please call the leader to sign and confirm the purchase."

Mr. Big News glanced back at his teammates, but as though they were deliberately ignoring him, they all engaged in a conversation with each other.

Stumped, Mr. Big News didn’t know what to do.

"Are you the leader?" the staff member asked.

"I..." Mr. Big News looked back again.

Everyone averted their eyes.

Left with no choice, Mr. Big News turned back to the staff member.

"I guess..."

"Please sign here," she said, handing out the electronic tablet toward him.

He took it and immediately signed the box on the screen with his fingers. Everyone waited for the package with an excited gleam on their eyes.

What kind of costumes had costed them a fortune?

As Mr. Big News handed back the electronic tablet, the staff member put it back to the dimensional pocket then made another pulling gesture. As though she was having a hard time, she attempted to pull the object repeatedly with a frown.

Rayen looked at Plotter, admonishishing this little overseer in his mind.

’Help her out, will you? Why are you even here if you’re just gonna stand uselessly there?’

Boom!

A large brown box fell loudly on the floor, grabbing Rayen’s attention. It took her almost a dozen tries before something appeared before them.

’Why’s it so heavy?’

The two didn’t immediately leave. The team stared at them in puzzlement.

"I still need to take it back," the staff member said.

’Take it back? Then why did you deliver it if you’re gonna take it back again?’

However, she didn’t clarify her words.

Choosing to ignore her, Mr. Big News took the lead on opening the box. Everyone gathered around him.

But the contents of the box left everyone speechless.
