Several Days later after the entry of the Security Group in Alfkhaishan Federation, the country's National Idol Group, Honeycomb enters on the night of 8th of Aquarian. Now, here in their camp on the side of Highway 7, the girls were practicing their numbers. While camp's perimeter were surrounded by a LPA-SPF and PPG-HSS Troops with their hardware, including SPAAG's, AFV's, Tanks and even APC's. To their perspective, its not just Bandits that they have to worry about, but also the monsters they control as well. After all, the Order is to ensure safety of the Honeycomb, and going overboard is permitted considering this is their first time in the Alfkhaisha, unlike their LPA Comrades whom stationed there from day 1. But thanks to the guidance of Ambassadress Andropova that they were get familiar enough not to lost in the wild and get into unexpected trouble or problem.
Marina: How's your practice going, Ladies?
?: Hello, Madam. We're doing on.
Marina: Ehhhhh. So these songs they're practicing. Are they gonna perform it in Opedius City?
?: Yes. How's the venue, Lady?
Marina: Sold out. Apparently, many Alfkhaishans will attend the concert. Fortunately this will be also televised back home.
?: I know. By the way have you seen them?
Marina: Who?
?: The LOLINFORM Reporters.
Marina: Not yet.
?: Very well. Tell me when you found them
Marina: Why?
?: I have something to tell to the public back home before the concert.
Marina: Okay.
After Marina Andropova inspects the Idol Group, she head back to the Embassy on her 4x4 Vehicle she uses personally. It has a H18 Machine Gun mounted on the top. As she head back to continue her paperwork, several vehicles passed from her left side. These are from the State News Agency LOLINFORM, part of Lolilandia's LOLIGOSCOMINFORMBU, or Lolilandic State Communications and Informations Bureau (belonging to the Communications and Information Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) heading to the same place where Honeycomb and its Military Security Placed at.

Several LPA and PPG Troops also saw the LOLINFORM Reporters as well.

LOLINFORM Cameraloli: Yeah. We can now start.
Meanwhile back in Lolilandia itself.

Marina, as usual, proceeds to check the email and several telegrams lying around, only this time, its nothing but many of her fellow Comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informing that they will watch the televised concert live. And since there isn't any work to do, Marina took a chance to take a nap and finally doze off after few seconds.
2 hours later.
Marina woke up after two hours of nap. After washing her face, she check the emails again and were still empty. Marina then decide to use her Digitab to check something worth to watch while waiting. And she found one online. A Virtual Streamer whom playing Heart of the Cubs, a popular action Third-person shooter centering Bears fighting off Alien Invasion in their forest. The game's popularity, as the streamer mentioned, remind the Lolilandics the days of their Patriotic, heroic war against the similar enemy the bears in the game where fighting more than one and half century ago. Marina watch the streamer while enjoying her freshly steamed pork blood she'd stock a while ago. The PPG-HSS which she commanding to, were also busy interacting with the LPA Troops stationed at Military District Canned Food, mostly playing sport games like bowling and chase-and-tag. Due to not so much to do, Marina spend her free time watching the streamer instead.

After the stream ended exactly at dinner time in Alfkhaisha, Marina went to the Mess Hall for her food. This time, her one of favorite dish using animal blood, known as "Jiklius" which is made of Chicken Blood added with chili powder and has boneless chicken parts. She saw the PPG-HSS team and decide to join them. The latter let her in, knowing that tomorrow, she will command them for the concert.
PPG-HSS Squad Leader: Hello, Lady Ambassadress. I'm Captain Kelly Springs. *reaches hand*
Marina: Nice to you meet you, Comrade Captain. Anyway thanks for heeding my small request.
Kelly: No worries. We know enough how difficult to deal with these bandits everyday. So its understandable to ask such security like this. I heard this concert will have effect to the relations between two countries.
Marina: Well yeah. Hope everything goes well. Anyway, lets eat.
PPG-HSS Soldier 1: So this is our Commander for the mission tomorrow? Eh.. Looks cuter than in picture.
PPG-HSS Soldier 2: Yeah. By the way mind telling us some few things about yourself, madam?
Marina: After dinner that is.
All: Okay.
30 minutes later.
After dinner, Marina and the PPG-HSS Team left the Mess Hall and have some time for chat. The High Security Service Troops were amaze to know that the Ambassadress being a vampire.
Kelly: So you drink the bandits blood whenever they attack you?
Marina: Yeah. Makes the disposal easier for the local Alfkhaishan Police.
Kelly: Ooooh. Cool stuff. Very cool stuff.
Marina: Yeah, but mostly stuck at desk which gets boring over time.
Kelly: *chuckles* I get you. Happens to me a lot.
Marina: Okay.
It took them until 07:00 of evening before they part their ways. The PPG-HSS back to their quarters and Marina to her bedroom in the Embassy. This is where Marina receive contact directly from the Premier.

Marina: So far so good. No issues yet.
Lolilandic Premier: Very well. Good night, Comrade Diplomat. Rest well because tomorrow will be a heavy work for you.
Marina: Yes Comrade Premier. Understood.
Marina is reminded once again about tomorrow. She hope all will be fine and no tragic falls to them, but she, like everyone around her, cannot be so sure. After that, she went to take a quick hot shower, change to her pajamas and sleep.

The preparations were almost finish, as the stage venue were set up, with Alfkhaishans on the line buying tickets for Honeycomb's first Overseas concert, and in fact, first Otherworldly one as well. Marina and the PPG-HSS surround the venue with their gear and several Armored Vehicles to ensure safety. By the time the tickets were sold out, others whom still on line were arranged to a column were they can still see the concert via large digital screen.
4 hours later.
The concert begins, and soon as Honeycomb Idols start singing, Marina ordered to raise Alert level to "Protocol SSR" or level 4 combat alert. Placing the LPA and PPG Troops in their positions. The situation is tense, but with their weapons suppressed, it won't cause much panic. This combat alert status remained for more than 3 hours.
3 more hours later.
The concert ended, and in a very fortunate turn, not one single bandit showed up. The Alfkhaishans went home safe and the Honeycomb Idols were escorted back to the Portal with its Military Escort. Marina hopped in as means to travel back to the Embassy. It was a successful concert, which will results good for the bilateral relations between Lolilandia and Alfkhaisha. It is indeed a worth celebrating, yet this relationship has more good ways to go.
