Chương 257: Chapter 258: Kasumi

Lorelie continued to kiss Adam passionately for a few seconds before she broke the kiss and smiled lovingly at him while saying.

"I love the fact that you're willing to protect me, not only my physical self, but also my reputation, thank you. But for your information, that wasn't what I was going to suggest."

"Oh," Adam replied in a voice that was slightly higher than normal because of his shock at the sudden passionate kiss.

"What I was going to suggest was that you let me reveal that you gave me the ability to change my outfits mid-performance. We don't have to explicitly reveal the Form Bracelet, but revealing that you gave me the ability will help with your image."

"Also, revealing that you arranged for Lady Erkath to sell half her company to grandmother as a gift wouldn't hurt," Stacey added.

"Gift," Tephe mumbled to herself.

"Something wrong, Tephe?" Lorelie asked as she heard her mumble something.

"What? Oh, nothing," Tephe replied, though obviously thinking about something.

"Fine, fine. I get what you're saying. I will eventually have to reveal myself so that I can accompany Lorelie to her award ceremonies and any other public events." Adam stated with a sigh.

"Why are you so against being in the limelight? As Empress Revi said, you really are too modest, babe." Stacey asked. Adam thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe it was because of how I grew up constantly being bullied for being an orphan and wearing cheap clothes, or maybe it's because of how, as soon as I got any real reputation from dating Jenny, she ended up getting killed, while I got thrown off a cliff." The group was silent for a few moments as they stared at Adam with a look of concern.

Adam had still never opened up about what really happened with Jenny, and none of them had broached the subject with him, as they wanted him to talk about it when he was ready. What Adam didn't know, however, was that the four women had already learnt much about what happened to him back on Earth. First, when they were on Terrana Five, Becky and Tessa had told Lorelie and Rowena what had happened during Adam's early streams back on Earth, and the two of them had then told Stacey and Tephe.

Then, as Adam was undergoing his surgery for his artificial gills, Stacey received a message from Susan, which made her really happy because Susan had informed her that everyone in sector eight six six was fine. However, after that, Susan went on to explain to Stacey, and since they were nearby, Lorelie, Rowena and Tephe about what Emma Hopkins had revealed in the chat during Lorelie's first concert about Jenny's murder. Rowena coughed slightly before asking, "So, shall we call into the show then?"

Lorelie looked at Adam with concern for a few more moments before saying, "Sure." After which, she reluctantly moved away from Adam so that he wouldn't appear in the holocall and sat next to Rowena. 💫💫💫 Meanwhile, the holographic screen showing Eri had shrunk and moved to the side as Malgath moved on to interviewing his next guest, who was a beautiful female with long hair that started black before turning to orange-red.

She also had fox-type ears and nine fox tails that she sat on in a sultry manner in the chair beside Malgath's desk in a dress that showed a lot of her cleavage and legs.

"Kasumi, you have been on the rise recently, with all your performances being applauded, even if the movie or holoshow you appeared in flopped."

"Thank you, Malgath, I just try to give the best performance I can to my fans and make the production I am part of as great as possible," Kasumi replied while showing a sultry smile to the camera and studio audience, who cheered her remarks.

"It's just a shame that the male lead in your most recent production that releases in a week doesn't think the same way you do. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it. A post on Xer-verse by a film critic who saw the early showing says, "The latest movie production featuring Kasumi and Dudgun Gobzell is nothing but an absolute snorefest.

Kasumi herself attempts to put in another stellar performance that would be well worth placing her in contention for the best female actor award if it weren't for the movie's production and her co-star. Unfortunately, Dudgun Gobzell is the complete opposite, as his acting is subpar at best; it makes a viewer like me feel as if he wasn't even interested in being there."

Kasumi sighed before saying, "While as a professional I shouldn't talk down about my co-stars, I can't help but admit that the film critic this time is correct. Dudgun spent more time trying to get me and other women into his hotel room than he did focusing on the movie."

"That's the kind of news we like to reveal here on The MMM Show," Malgath said with a smile and was about to ask Kasumi her next question when the show's producer suddenly spoke to him through his earpiece, making his smile widen even more.

"Tell me, Kasumi, what do you think of Diva Lorelie and Rowena?" Malgath suddenly asked, causing Kasumi to show a confused look since she wasn't expecting a question like this before she thought of something and smirked at Malgath while asking.

"They're calling in again, aren't they?"

"What makes you say that?" Malgath asked with an innocent expression, while the audience murmured excitedly, and Eri's eyes widened at Kasumi's question.

"Well, you were asking them to call in earlier when you were discussing those Xer-verse posts with Eri, then there's the fact that someone just spoke to you in your earpiece, making your smile grow, and finally, you suddenly decided to ask me about them both."

"Haha, you got me," Malgath said with a guilty chuckle before he spread his hands wide and said, "Please welcome those who are rapidly becoming The MMM Shows' most regular guests, Diva Lorelie and that troublemaker Rowena." The crowd cheered and applauded loudly as a large Holographic screen appeared and showed Lorelie and Rowena sitting next to each other on a couch while smiling.

"Hello, everyone," Rowena said with her signature smirk.

"Kyyyaaaa, Diva Lorelie," Eri screamed excitedly as she saw Lorelie appear on the holographic screen.

"Hello Eri, it's nice to see you again," Lorelie said with a smile.

"And, and you, Diva Lorelie. Thank you again for asking me to be your chaperone."

"It's my pleasure, thank you for accepting."

"Hello Rowena, it's been too long," Kasumi said with a smirk.

"Kasumi, it's been a while," Rowena replied with her own signature smirk.

"Oh, what's this? Rowena never told me that you were acquainted." Malgath said to Kasumi.

"Erkath introduced us," Kasumi replied as she began to explain.

"As you know, I used to be the Universal Senator for the Reynard Galaxy, and during my time as senator, I developed a close friendship with Erkath, who served as the Hades Galaxy Senator at the same time. During one of my visits to the Hades Galaxy, Erkath introduced me to Rowena, who was staying with her while she was modelling for her company, Erkath Fashion."

"It's a shame you couldn't join us during our time on Oceana Seven; we had fun drinking God's Oasis each night," Rowena remarked.

"My butler was complaining about how you were drinking my stockpile of God's Oasis and how I now need to speak to the royal family about getting more," Lorelie said with a giggle.

"Your butler is right, you don't want your boyfriend getting upset that all his favourite drink is gone after all," Rowena replied as she looked to the side with her signature smirk.

"Well, perhaps next time you get together for a drinking session, you can invite me, especially if you're drinking God's Oasis," Kasumi stated.

"I'll bear that in mind," Rowena replied with a chuckle.

"It's always nice when the show's guests get along. Now, might I assume the reason you're both calling in is that you plan to tell us about the Xer-verse posts Eri and I were talking about earlier and also your amazing ability to change your outfit on stage?"

"You can, which would you like us to answer first?" Lorelie replied.

"Hmmm, let's start with the one most people are interested in," Malgath replied before asking, "Diva Lorelie, won't you please tell us how you're able to change your clothes on stage without going back to your dressing room?"

"I can do it thanks to the gift my boyfriend gave me," Lorelie replied with a happy smile, making Malgath, Eri and Kasumi show looks of surprise.

"Your new boyfriend gave you some never-before-seen tech when you have been dating for what, less than a week?" Kasumi asked in surprise.

"Is that so surprising?" Lorelie asked as she tilted her head.

"I would say so," Kasumi replied.

"Why?"

"Why is it so surprising that Diva Lorelie's new boyfriend gave her some never-before-seen tech? Make sure you stay tuned to find out after these messages," Malgath suddenly said, making the audience and chat boo in disappointment.
