Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear
Chapter 98: Mermaid Scales

Chapter 98: Mermaid Scales

As Rayen scanned the barcode at the back of the page, his face looked a little wary. Fortunately, what occurred wasn’t the same as he was thinking about. The equipment appeared out of thin air as usual.

He thought he would transform like those princesses from animes he had happened to watch when he was a kid. Just the scene of the glittering effects and background music sent a shiver down his spine.

Finally, Rayen stared at the equipment he ended up choosing — Cupid’s Garment.

Earlier, he was tempted to pick the Unicorn Shoes, but after thinking twice, Rayen looked up the other shoe he had seen from the shop. And as what he thought, Horse Shoe was the degraded version of the Unicorn Shoe.

It didn’t have the Visual Charm effect and only focused on the Feet Movement bonus. What he needed most right now was to appeal with the audience using his looks. If he really wanted the Feet Movement effect, he could just buy the lesser version instead. Being far more less expensive, he could probably afford it.

After eliminating the Unicorn Shoe from his choices, Rayen was only left with the two remaining options. The wings or the full attire garment from Cupid.

So, he showed these pages to his teammates. Without even deliberating for a long time, they chose the Cupid’s Garment.

Nobody was stupid in the team. Even though they were teammates, they wouldn’t let anyone outshine them in charm in this unit. That would be suicide.

With this choice, not only Rayen could enjoy the Visual Charm glory, but all of them too.

After scanning the page and seeing the long pieces of white and colorful fabrics in his hands, Rayen recalled Cupid’s image depicted in some paintings he had seen before.

In his memory, Cupid only wore a sash that draped over his upper body, and on his lower body...

Rayen lifted each part of the clothes, letting them hang down. Observing it for a moment, he sighed in relief.

There wasn’t a loin cloth — only a baggy white trousers.

’Heck, I’ll demand a refund if it was! How will I dance with only a loin cloth hiding my precious part?’

Now that everyone from Team Love Makers had chosen their equipments, the staff member thought that their work here was done. They should proceed to the other training rooms and hand out the equipments for the next teams.

The staff member looked at Plotter. "Overseer, which team should we visit next?"

However, Plotter didn’t respond. He only watched everyone from Team Love Makers with amused smiles.

"Overseer?" the staff member called out again.

Still, she was ignored.

"Shouldn’t you try these things out?" Plotter suggested out of nowhere.

When Rayen heard Plotter’s voice, he couldn’t help but shudder upon noticing his strange gaze.

’This person’s still not going away?’

"Try them out," Plotter insisted.

"No thanks, we’ll try it out later," Rayen hurriedly rejected.

’After you disappear, I will!’

But Plotter didn’t go away. Instead, he turned to everyone and told them a very tempting excuse.

"Since you bought a Luxury Package, I should probably give some incentives for you," Plotter said, smiling wistfully. "If you think you don’t suit your costume, although I can’t replace it with a new item, you can request to alter its appearance. So as long as I’m still here, you should try them out."

The staff member was visibly surprised. When did the Overseer become so kind?

Oh right, that was kind of presumptuous. As an Overseer, he should be kind enough than all of them to be promoted to his position!

Alarms rang on Rayen’s head. Scanning his teammates with his eyes, they all seemed agreeable with the idea. Their eyes were visibly sparkling at the sudden unexpected offer.

’This manipulative bastard!’

Rayen glared at Plotter.

"Go, try them out." Plotter ignored him and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, a door appeared out of nowhere on one of the training room’s wall.

"Then, I’ll try these on..." Mr. Big News said.

Smiling innocently, Plotter responded, "Go on."

Rayen sighed. If it’s going to be like this, he could only relent. But he should probably go last. He had a bad feeling that if he go first, Plotter might go back on his offer.

One by one, the team members changed inside the temporary changing room that Plotter had set up.

Mr. Big News’s costume was a little bit intricate compared to Rayen’s. On his head, there was a crown made of blue corals. Although he didn’t look much different from his usual appearance, but if they stared hard at his skin, they would be able to see a transparent scales.

When the light reflected on his skin, it seemed to shimmer in multicolored lights, producing an unusal sheen.

Mermaid Scales.

That’s right. Right now, Mr. Big News was wearing a mermaid costume.

Rayen first thought that Mr. Big News would appear with a fish tail after changing into it. Plotter must have planned carefully for the designs of the costumes, so that it wouldn’t hinder them with their performances.

’Okay, that was quite thoughtful...’

As for why did Mr. Big News and the team chose this costume despite their uncertainty of its design, it was because of its effect. It aligned to their concept too.

[Mermaid Scales: "I sing so when I know you’re there, you’ll hear my voice and come to me. Fall in love and become mine."

Effect: (Singing Skill +5)

Bonus Skill: Mesmerize - If the user sings, there’s a probability the audience will be mesmerized by the user, making them the most beautiful person they’ve ever seen. (Probability 1 out if 1000).]

It’s almost like a cheat item. Raising 5 levels at once... Since the bonus effect had too low of a probability to activate, the others thought it wouldn’t be detrimental to the whole team and allowed it.

Mr. Big News already had a B+ stat for his singing skill. Adding five more levels to that, his singing skill would rise even higher than Rayen...

’I think I need to work harder on my singing skills.’

His singing skill had stayed at S level for far too long. After this round, he should probably focus on it.

’I wonder how good one will be after they reach the rank above S?’

It’s not his problem for now anyway. Even though he wasn’t far from it, Rayen doubt he’d be able to rank up easily. Just ranking up his Visuals from B to A rank was already hard. Just how hard would it be from S to the next unknown rank?
