I became the emperor in the comic book series.

As the ground drew ever closer, the girl's face turned pale. She gave a bitter smile and closed her eyes in despair.

Goodbye, Mom, Dad, Erli...

It seems I'm about to risk my life to make the headlines as a joke.

Goodbye, Mr. Higashino. Although we haven't known each other for very long, your kindness has warmed my heart. I am but a humble woman, and can only repay your kindness in the next life...

Some people are dying, but they are still alive.

At the critical moment, relying on his strong physique, Higashino Akira took two quick strides to the other side, reached out and scooped her up before his socially awkward girlfriend could fall to the ground. He then twisted his body to dissipate the force and came to a steady stop in a half-squat position.

"Although their performance was pretty good, it's not enough to make this their swan song, is it?"

No pain was felt...

He didn't faint; he could still hear the terrified screams of his fans...

A familiar voice reached my ears.

It felt like I was being hugged.

Goto Ichiri kept his eyes closed, not daring to open them, and exuded a faint sense of death.

As expected, the shock on Hiroi Kikuri's face quickly turned into joy, and she burst into laughter as she watched the girl leap into the air.

Loyal fans are worried, "Little Lonely, are you alright?"

The bassist covered his mouth, trying to suppress a laugh, "Pochi, you're a legendary rock superstar!"

Hiroi Kikuri: "Little Lonely is just too perfect, haha!"

The store manager looked at the two non-recyclable items and complained irritably, "You two should be more careful!"

“That’s right!” Ichiji Nijika glared at the two guys with righteous indignation.

Some people are better off dead than alive.

That's why I can't face reality.

It's over. My rock and roll life is over...

A young girl lay face down on the ground, her face flushed.

"oi, Goto Ichiri, open your eyes."

"Sleeping Beauty, one mile away?"

"A band Superman attempting to physically attack Earth?"

"If you don't get up soon, I'm going to reveal the true identity and story of that guitar hero who writes love essays!"

"If fans knew that the strong and straightforward older sister guitar hero in her romantic relationships was actually..."

"Damn it—!!!" Hit on her fatal weakness, the girl instantly opened her eyes and struggled, turning over in her boyfriend's arms, hugging his neck. Her brain went blank, and in her panic, she didn't have time to think about the fact that her boyfriend also knew about Guitar Hero. In a moment of panic, looking at that mouth that was still saying the secret that couldn't be said, she instinctively covered it up with her mouth.

The identity of Boqi Jiang, who ended the band, is now dead!

Don't ruin my guitar hero status anymore!

Oh no… If that happens, I’ll die completely without any place to call home in reality or online. As long as I don’t tell anyone, Vadashi can do anything!

"oh………"

A group of innocent young girls or men in their twenties and thirties who had never been in a relationship stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in surprise at the sight.

I can't believe that the girl who used to be so introverted and socially anxious actually dared to be so brave!

On the stage, Kita-chan blushed slightly with embarrassment and covered her eyes with her hands, but her fingers were wide open, and behind her hands, her eyes were clearly staring intently.

Not far away, a gentle lady with hair the same color as her two daughters looked at her eldest daughter with a complex expression, a mixture of relief and worry. At the same time, she reached out to block the eyes of Erli, who was jumping around curiously peeking.

Higashino Akira felt the soft touch and pressure on his lips, blinked, and gazed quietly at the girl's cute little face, which was flushed with shyness, and her wide, innocent eyes, which looked just like those of a small animal. Her panic gradually turned into shyness, and finally she was so shy that she stood there stiff and dared not move.

boo——

His head tilted back slightly, and his lips parted.

"You ambushed me."

The girl let out a shy, mournful cry and buried her face in his shoulder.

There wasn't enough time to appreciate the girl's cute appearance or tease her a little more.

Higashino Akira's shirt was suddenly tugged at from behind. He turned around and single-handedly took on the entire opposing band. Although the opposing band's main member was actually a guitarist who was playing along with their melody, the little cat still got a thrill.

Her face was still flushed from the pleasure she had just experienced.

Matcha Parfait.

The kitten is kindly asking for its wages after work.

Stray kittens don't understand love. All they know is that once a promise is made and the job is done, it's time to settle the deal.

You have to pay a cat to do something, whether it succeeds or not!

Cats only recognize matcha parfaits, not people!

.........

A beverage shop near Xiuhua.

The band members, along with the stray cat he attracted, Akira Higashino, and a certain super siscon and her alcoholic junior bassist, all gathered here.

"So, this girl was asked by Higashino-kun to help us with the performance because Higashino-kun's guitar broke down?"

After getting to know each other and hearing the whole story, Ichiji Nijika exclaimed in surprise.

This girl looks younger than them, yet she improvised while trying to match the melody of their band's song as closely as possible, and in the end, she still managed to perform so well. What an amazing talent!

Chapter 165 Sadako: I absolutely love this place!

As someone whose talent isn't particularly outstanding, he possesses exceptional abilities and is skilled in various arts.

Watching the other person sit obediently and eat the parfait with a spoon in small bites, it was impossible to tell that they had been so unrestrained backstage, laughing wildly while playing the guitar.

As for Goto Ichiri, he was completely devastated and even froze on the spot.

It turns out that she had been burning with passion for so long, thinking she was a rival who came to provoke and steal the spot of the only girl with guitar skills next to her boyfriend, but she was actually an ally invited to help.

Ichiji Hoshika rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment, "It seems that I have recently heard a legend in the circle about a stray cat that carries a guitar and will suddenly barge in to perform a guitar solo."

"That's roughly what happened." Higashino Akira shrugged. "At the time, I just wanted to borrow her guitar so that Iri could come down and play it. I didn't expect her to start playing right away. I was quite surprised."

"By the way, what's this child's name again?"

Kita asked with some curiosity. Compared to the cold drinks and ice cream desserts on the tables in front of everyone to replenish energy and water, Kita, who was forced to join the tour, still had a slightly hoarse voice and only ordered a cup of warm milk. She did not dare to choose any other oily or salty snacks or dishes.

The art style is somewhat different, being too light and whimsical.

"name?"

Akira Higashino raised an eyebrow. "That's a good question, but I don't know the answer either."

"Eh..."

"I haven't known her for very long; we've only met once before."

The kitten, which had been nibbling on its parfait, raised its head upon hearing this. Its pink tongue slid across the corner of its lips, rolled a smear of creamy ice cream into its mouth, and took a serious look at the band members.

"I want Rakuna."

Kawaii…!

Kita's eyes widened instantly, feeling her girlish heart being deeply touched by this adorable child, and she couldn't help but gasp softly in surprise.

"Hi Ryuna-chan, I'm Kita, you can just call me Kita!"

"And me, I'm the drummer for the closing band, Ichiji Nijika, you can call me Nijika-neechan!"

"The blue-haired bassist next to you is Ryo. If you can't remember her name, just call her 'weirdo,' and she won't get angry."

wack…

The blue-haired girl covered her face with her hands and whispered, "I'm shy."

I wasn't praising you!

Seeing this, Hongxia rolled her eyes cutely, then said to the adorable cat-like girl, "See?"

Cute things always attract girls' attention, such as a white-haired kitten with heterochromia.

Even Akira Higashino had to give way to them, and could only watch quietly as Rakuna was surrounded by two enthusiastic and cheerful girls from the band, who warmly introduced themselves to her and got to know each other.

"Finally, our closing guitarist is Goto Ichiri, nicknamed 'Poke-chan'!"

"Poch-chan, stop spacing out, come back and say hello to Rina-chan."

Forced out of his petrified state, Goto Ichiri regained his senses and, feeling somewhat guilty, bowed deeply to the girl, stammering her thanks, "Oh...oh! This, thank you so much for your help, I am deeply grateful, um..."

Across from her, Kaoru, who had been forced to become the group's darling, looked at the pink-haired guitarist with a slight upturn of her lips.

"An interesting woman!"

"Woman...woman!!!"

Goto Ichiri's eyes widened, instantly petrified by the evaluation, as if cracks were gradually spreading all over his body, and then his petrified body gradually shattered into pieces.

So... I'm a woman now?

Yoro Nai likes this band because they have a great atmosphere and their songs have a strong personal touch.

Unfortunately, they already had guitars.

And there were two guitars.

Therefore, this place cannot become her final resting place.

.........

Tokyo.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman, Hanako, and the Human-Faced Dog wandered the streets, the three of them swaggering around like three thugs, barging in and out of control.

Every now and then, they would slip into the dark alleyways on the side, and then punch and kick the air while verbally threatening it.

Sometimes when I see a kitten passing by or a wild crow in the sky while walking on the street, I want to kick it a couple of times and throw something at it.

She was holding a cell phone in her hand, the screen facing forward. On the screen was a pale face mostly covered by jet-black hair, and through the gaps in the hair, a single eye was faintly visible that could make one's heart stop just by looking at it.

Why are you doing these things?

Sadako was puzzled by the behavior of her three newly acquainted sisters of the same kind. "Those spirits with little spirituality and spirits that are more numerous than roadside weeds, just leave them alone and ignore them. Anyway, they will dissipate after a while and a new batch of spirits will come to wander over."

Upon hearing this, Hanako and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat awkward. In the end, it was the Slit-Mouthed Woman who mustered her courage and stepped forward to explain.

“Well, these streets are our territory now, so of course we can’t let those guys move in as they please. They haven’t even asked for our permission. If we let them stay, where will we put our face?”

"Besides, we're aiming for something big. By patrolling the territory every day, we can also see if we encounter any talented evil spirits or monsters. If we do, we can bring them in to strengthen our organization."

"Times have changed. You can't get ahead by going it alone. You need influence to succeed!"

"Once we have enough followers, we can take over Tokyo, grow stronger, create new glory, and rebuild the Glory of the Fantasy Tales!"

"Moreover, putting aside the long term, cleaning up this garbage will ensure that the people on these streets don't get into trouble and can do their businesses properly, which will also provide us with a stable source of funding for our human world activities."

Sadako was even more confused. "We're ghost tales, what would we do with human money?"

"Of course it works!"

Seeing that the Slit-Mouthed Woman was about to break down and reveal a flaw, Hanako cursed her as an idiot in her heart before quickly continuing, "Take you for example. If you had money, could we get you a bigger TV so you could come and go more easily?"

"This…"

"And we can even buy you a higher-spec computer to practice programming!"

"Actually, it doesn't have to be very expensive."

"You can still buy 5090!"

"hiss…!"

Sadako gasped; this money was surprisingly useful!

"And with money, we can promote ourselves through various channels. Times have changed. It's too slow to become stronger by scaring people one by one. We should embrace technological progress, upgrade our industry, and move our scare tactics online. A commercially successful and terrifying film or television work that can be carefully introduced and represents us is far more efficient than launching offline attacks to scare hundreds or thousands of people!"

"No, this method is too prone to backlash; I'm a prime example!"

Sadako shook her head, showing no embarrassment as she frankly stated her position.
