Chapter 84: Chapter 84 – Concert

42-Answer, or 42 for short, was very talented, to the point that even Benjamin was able to notice it even though he didn't know much about music. His voice was both sonorous and pleasant and his interpretation of the song was flawless. This made sense since he had heard that he was the one who composed every single air he was singing. He did not dance, only sometimes making some arms or hand gestures to magnify parts of the song. The concert had started on a strong note.

As soon as the piece ended, he received acclamations from the public, the men cheering loudly and the women letting out high shrills. 42 used his mike to address the spectators, thanking them for coming to his concert and hoping that everyone enjoy the performance. He then looked toward the men's area and Benjamin felt the same thing in his expression that what the security personnel from before showed. Being on the stage with spotlights on him, he was able to see his face clearly and he finally noticed that the weird feeling was similar to pity. This was yet another odd thing. Why would a singer pity his fans? With so many clues now, it was clear that there was more to this concert than what met the eyes.

42 began singing again, a calmer love song this time. It was interesting that the emphasis was on how the character from the lyrics was attracted by a woman who was quiet, smart, and reserved. Basically, a rare creature in this changed world. This made sense since men were generally poised and quiet, making them less interested in the usual dynamic and horny women and more toward any exception to the rule. While women got somewhat better as they grew up, it was mostly an external change of faking a calmer and more confident countenance, while their internal thoughts remained pretty much the same. On the other hand, teenage girls were very impulsive and focused overtly on their desires, something that Benjamin had experienced many times now.

The many love declarations and "I want you" from the song had a strong impact on the female fans. When the song ended, they shouted their love back to the singer, almost as if they had taken the lyrics as something directed at themselves.

"I love you too!"

"I don't mind being your girlfriend!"

"Of course I want you too, we can marry anytime you want!"

As if it was something completely expected, 42 smiled at them before going backstage. Less than two minutes later, he reappeared with different clothes, still very stylish ones but showing a minimum of skin. He immediately started a third song, a sad one telling a story of the grief of parting with loved ones.

The concert went on like this, with the singer changing clothes every other song and the songs themselves being quite varied but still always in the popular genre. There were sometimes some nice light effects with great rendering to enhance the spectacle. The few men cheered normally at the end of each song, enjoying the quality of the concert. The women, however, were getting more and more excited as the show went on. Their squeals were getting louder and louder and the tension was growing in their area.

It seemed that most of them were hardcore fans, which made sense considering how hard it was to get a ticket for the live concert. Benjamin had heard from Julian that people were reselling the tickets at insane prices and even then they were sold off immediately. The more the show continued, the more the look of those fans grew crazy, their eyes looking at the poor singer like a piece of meat, ready to jump on him for a taste. This also translated itself with wild shouts, full of their overflowing feelings.

"I love you, 42!"

"I would do anything for you, please look here!"

"Please sleep with me!"

The artist was able to hear them in between songs but he tried to stay as unfazed as possible. Some of them attempted to reach him physically and the security personnel worked hard to keep them all within their area. It now made sense why there were so many of them, especially in the female area.

The situation was only getting crazier as time passed. The poor guards were overwhelmed by the relentless assaults of the fans and were slowly getting tired. On the other hand, the women seemed tireless, their fandom giving them unlimited energy. That same energy, which only started as excitation and appreciation toward the singer, started to be filled with sexual tension now, their attraction becoming unabated lust.

Finally, something unexpected happened when at the end of one song one woman sporting an extremely horny expression turned toward the men's area. Seeing so many males in one place seemed to have a weird effect on her and she shouted.

"Look, there are men over there!"

Even though Benjamin was getting used to women in this world, he still had to admit that this yell was very idiotic, as if the men had suddenly appeared out of nowhere when they had been there all along, enjoying the show. Its effect was great, however. The women who were not in the first rows at the front of the stage and who were situated close to the men's space all turned their heads in their direction.

"You're right!"

"Men!"

"Sex!"

"Dicks!"

Their agitation reached a new height and they tried to jump over the fences to reach their area. The security personnel around the men's area reacted quickly and went to stop them, complementing the ones already surrounding the women and forming a strict line of defense. Judging by their quick reaction time, it felt as if they weren't doing this for the first time. 42 also looked at the situation like everything had happened as he expected it.

On the other hand, the men who witnessed this were now crowding the side opposite the female area, trying to stand as far as possible from them. Benjamin was finally able to understand the reason for the previous looks of the singer and the security people. They already knew something like this might happen and were pitying the poor men in advance. Of course, 42 wasn't in a much better position but the main difference was that this was his job, while they had come here to enjoy themselves, spending a lot of effort and money to be here.
