I don't want to be an elf!

Helplessness, fear, and despair consumed my heart.

But I was lucky; someone pulled me back to the surface when I was at my lowest point.

Miku Izayoi looked at Irene again and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Looking into Miku Izayoi's eyes, Irene felt as if she could see a bottomless abyss hidden within them.

That... is the darkness that can only be born from the deepest despair.

Even just glimpsing a corner of it can send chills down one's spine.

Irene felt as if she could sense the dark ocean described in Irene's words, making it hard for her to breathe.

In the darkness, she seemed to see a majestic steel warship appear behind Miku Izayoi.

With an aura of crushing everything, it traversed this sea of ​​darkness like a king.

"This time, whatever stands in my way, I will tear it all to shreds."

I will not fall again, and I will never return to that dark ocean.

No matter what the cost.

Even if it means killing, I wouldn't hesitate.

Chapter 59 Miku Izayoi's Past

Irene swallowed hard.

Although spending several months together gave her some understanding of Miku Izayoi's personality, she also saw a side of her that many fans couldn't see.

But now it seems that what we call understanding was nothing more than what we thought we understood.

Before this, she had always thought that Miku Izayoi was just a woman with a bad personality who looked down on everyone and regarded everyone as inferior because of her looks and abilities.

In the era of the Star Pulse, there were actually quite a few people like this.

Therefore, Irene was still able to barely endure it.

However, Izayoi Miku's heartfelt words revealed a side of Izayoi Miku that I had never known before.

It turns out that this woman wasn't born this way.

It was her experiences after birth that shaped her into the extreme person she is today.

"What...have you been through in the past?"

Irene couldn't help but voice the question that had been bothering her.

She had wanted to ask this question before.

However, Miku Izayoi doesn't seem to have the habit of confiding in others, so she didn't answer.

"It's just that I experienced some things that made me understand the truth of the world."

Miku Izayoi withdrew her gaze, her expression returning to normal.

It's as if that chilling aura that just emanated was merely an illusion.

Seeing this, Irene had no choice but to suppress her curiosity once again and stop asking questions.

In fact, Miku Izayoi's past experiences were not some earth-shattering conspiracy, nor were they any heart-wrenching tragedies.

However, for an underage girl, the psychological damage is still devastating.

In the original work, fifteen-year-old Miku Izayoi debuted as a singer under the stage name "Yoshiro Tsukino". With her outstanding appearance and clear voice, she quickly gained fame and gathered a lot of fans.

Among them, male fans account for 90%.

Just as her career was soaring, she encountered an accident.

No, while it may seem like an accident, it's not actually that rare.

On a variety show, Miku Izayoi was harassed by a producer from a TV station, which is known as "the unspoken rules".

After she refused, she was retaliated against by the enraged television producer.

Online, numerous rumors and scandals supported by fabricated evidence appeared out of thin air, causing her reputation to plummet.

Her fans did not stand up to clarify things for her.

Instead, they took the side of criticism, vehemently denouncing Miku Yosai for being immoral and unworthy of being a singer.

The betrayal by her fans caused her great pain, as she was left isolated and helpless simply because she refused to accept the unspoken rules.

The online and real-life abuse left her emotionally and physically exhausted.

Ultimately, unable to withstand the pressure, Miku Yoshio developed aphasia.

She was just a child who loved to sing, but because she made the right choice, she was abandoned by everyone and even lost her most precious voice.

Despair consumed her, and she even contemplated suicide.

Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, at the end of her life, she met the Fairy Mother, Mio Takamiya.

Miku Izayoi, who possessed the necessary qualities, was chosen by her and given a spirit crystal, turning this desperate girl into a spirit.

However, this is not a complete form of redemption.

Instead of curing her heartache, Mio Takamiya roughly pulled her out of the mire of despair and then abandoned her.

Thus, a monster with power but a twisted mind appeared in this world.

This is what Izayoi Miku experienced in the original work.

----------

----------

ten minutes later.

Using their privileges and with all the green lights on, more than a dozen bomb disposal police cars appeared around the restaurant.

Dozens of heavily armed police officers filed out and surrounded the building.

Among them were even some members of special guards wearing Huang-style armor.

Pedra was also among the crowd.

As Miku Izayoi's manager, even though Pedra was already overwhelmed with her usual work, she still came to see Miku Izayoi in person.

Because this matter is too important.

Let alone an ordinary member of the decision-making team, if Warren & Warren's most important leaders weren't currently away from the Hexagram, they would probably have taken the time to meet this hero who had defeated the Golden Bough alliance.

"Where is the man?"

Upon meeting, Pedra got straight to the point.

Miku Izayoi tossed the black necklace she was holding to her.

However, Pedra did not catch it; instead, she dodged to the side with a hint of apprehension.

With a thud, the black necklace fell to the ground.

"What are you afraid of? Haven't you already had surgery to prevent mental breakdown?"

"That's true..."

Pedro coughed somewhat awkwardly and bent down to pick up one of his targets.

The secretary following behind her immediately handed her the box.

Place the necklace in the box, press the button, and a magical power will envelop the necklace.

"In this way, this cunning fellow is completely sealed away."

Perdora breathed a sigh of relief and handed the box back to her secretary.

This pure radiance-style weapon, or rather, the consciousness vessel named Varda Vaos, is her most important target on this trip.

The special Pure Blaze Armed Forces, capable of controlling humans and other Pure Blaze Armed Forces, will ensure that as long as Varda remains active, the six major integrated corporate groups will never have a moment's peace.

"You've really done a great job this time."

After completing the containment of Varda, Pedra smiled slightly: "To say something you may not like to hear, the value of defeating the Golden Bough Alliance is, in Warren & Warren's eyes, even greater than the value you will create in the next twenty years."

"A broken weapon and two lousy people are nothing compared to my twenty years?" Miku Yoshou scoffed. "There's a limit to joking."

Pedro did not continue to explain.

Those who are not members of the decision-making body will never understand how much trouble the Golden Bough Alliance has caused to the six major integrated corporate conglomerates.

Miku Izayoi is a student at Aoi Eun-wei Children's Academy and a contracted artist with Warren & Warren. Her defeat of the Golden Bough Alliance is equivalent to Warren & Warren defeating the Golden Bough Alliance.

The other five major conglomerates will all owe each other favors as a result.

As Miku Izayoi's manager, Pedra is bound to shine at the next decision-making meeting and be promoted.

The more Pedra looked at Miku Izayoi, the more pleasing she became to the eye.

When I heard that Sylvia was coming back, I wanted to call her and warn her not to let her favorite idol get ruined.

But since Miku Izayoi is being so helpful, she might as well give her face and not get involved in the affairs of the young people.

"It's just a small matter, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Miku Izayoi yawned and skillfully climbed into Pedra's car.

"Diluc is in the room on the top floor. You can go and take care of the aftermath. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Chapter Sixty: The Quarterfinals – A Sudden Encounter with the Protagonist Group!

The collapse of the alliance in The Golden Bough did not cause much of a stir.

The existence of this organization was kept secret by the six major conglomerates and was unknown to the public. Therefore, the few people affected, apart from the decision-making members of the six major conglomerates, were only Irene, Priscilla, and Usla, who were directly involved.

After a short period of rest, Priscilla has fully recovered.

She was only briefly controlled by Varda, and the reason she fainted was that Miku Izayoi forcibly removed the brainwashing. In reality, she was not seriously injured.

Usra, who has been controlled by Varda for many years and used as a shell to walk in this world, is still asleep.

It was only natural that Miku Yosai told Sylvia about this.
