Reborn in Tokyo, but my sister is Dai Wei

"Yes, let's go to her studio apartment first to look for clues..." Xingge was silent for a moment, then sighed, "She was the drummer of my previous band. After the band disbanded, she has been pursuing the path of music. She is still single now. It's very hard for her to be alone."

Hong Xia said softly: "Sister Rina is my first drum teacher. She was the one who introduced me to the drum set."

So there is this factor involved. Hirasawa Makoto nodded slightly. No wonder the store manager and Hong Xia both looked so impatient.

There was no conversation along the way as the car sped along on the dark highway. After an unknown amount of time, Hirasawa Makoto, who was half asleep, woke up to the sound of the engine shutting down.

"Here we are--"

After being gently pushed a few times, Ping Ze Cheng opened his eyes and his eyes met the wine-red eyes of the store manager Xingge for a moment. The big sister who had lost her previous tsundere disguise because of worry looked particularly charming at this moment.

"It's up to you two from now on."

Makoto Hirasawa woke Gabriel up and got out of the car. The cold north wind blew into his clothes through the gap between his neck, which immediately made him sober.

The moonlight was dim, and wisps of black fog blocked most of the light. The cold wind blew up the dead leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound as they rubbed against the ground. A few people looked up and saw an old apartment building.

"This is it. I've been here once. I'll just go ahead."

Xingge raised her foot, but was grabbed by Pingze Cheng, who put his arm around her arm and clenched his palm:

"Manager Xingge and I will go ahead...Gabriel, you also take good care of Hongxia."

The blonde girl also sensed the ominous aura coming from a certain room, nodded solemnly, and followed closely behind Hirasawa Makoto.

Hirasawa Makoto walked in front not to show off his bravery, but because the prerequisite for Gabriel to take action was that her "partner was in danger", and he had to do so in order to avoid being held accountable by the heavens.

"Manager Xingge, please lead the way."

The elder sister's palms were unusually soft, and because she had been holding the steering wheel for a long time, her palms were slightly sweaty. Hirasawa Makoto got very close to her, and the scent of a mature woman entered his nostrils.

Volume 1: Chapter 208: I beat the three emperors, is this true or false?

There were hardly any lights on in the windows of this old apartment building. Along the way, the only noises were the sound of people climbing the stairs and the whistling of the cold wind.

"I-I know where the key is."

Going up the stairs and arriving at the innermost apartment door on the fourth floor, Manager Xingge seemed a little shy. She gently broke away from Pingze Cheng's hand and bent down to search.

"The rent of this apartment in the old city is very cheap, and most importantly, there are not many people living there. Rina specifically chose this one with no neighbors above, below, or around her, so that she can play drums at home."

This drummer is really generous, Hirasawa Makoto silently complained, there are no neighbors above, below, or around him, and the rent is cheap, it is obvious that this apartment has a story!

Sizzle, sizzle——

Gusts of drafts blew into the open-air corridor, and the dim chandelier was shaking. I don't know if it was due to unstable voltage or some other reason that the brightness was fluctuating.

Hong Xia and Xing Ge's faces turned pale. The former was fine as she was protected by Gabriel, but the arrogant store manager was still holding on, trembling as he continued to try to find the key.

"Don't bother looking for the store manager, let me do it... It's just a matter of kicking the security door."

Hirasawa Makoto pulled up the store manager Xingge and kicked the door without waiting for her to say anything.

"..."

Boom!

Just as he said, the door hit the wall of the entrance hall, and a single apartment with the lights on came into view.

They looked at each other, then walked in, leaning against each other.

The apartment was in a mess, with women's underwear and outerwear thrown everywhere, and crumpled or wrinkled music scores scattered on the floor. After searching around, I found nothing except that the lights were on in every room.

“…The only thing left is the bathroom.”

Hirasawa Makoto pondered for a moment and pointed to the small toilet.

Japanese people have a certain obsession with separating wet and dry areas. Even in the smallest single-person apartment, there will be a partition between the toilet and the bathroom.

The two girls and the store manager Xingge nodded.

Makoto Hirasawa walked in front, slowly approaching the frosted glass door of the bathroom. In fact, from this distance it was already clear that the bathroom was empty, but some intuition in his heart told him that he had to do this.

Watching the door handle being pressed down little by little, the rusty lock spring making a creaking sound, Gabriel held his breath, all the angel's means of attack already in his hands.

But the next moment-

The force that Hong Xia was pressing on her shoulder suddenly loosened, and Gabriel's eyes widened suddenly and she rubbed them hard.

"Disappeared?!!"

It was not just Hirasawa Makoto who opened the door, but also the Ijichi sisters. In an instant, she was the only one left in the empty apartment.

The bathroom door might very well be the switch of some kind of teleportation array, but why was she the only one not teleported in?

Gabriel walked forward without hesitation and pressed the door handle like Hirasawa Makoto, but the door just opened, revealing an empty bathroom.

"… Damn it, is this the price to pay for not studying hard?"

In the next few seconds, Gabriel tried all the relevant spells, but none of them worked.

"It looks like it's the [Nullifying Spell Barrier]... Think about it quickly!"

Gabriel grabbed her hair in annoyance, bit her lip, and tried her best to recall the fragments of studying in the heaven. However, she was so absorbed in playing games for so long that she almost forgot even simple spells like [God's Steps]. How could she possibly recall the difficulty of [Invalid Spell Barrier] for the final exam?

"Ah!" Gabriel stopped being lazy and stamped her feet in anger, "I hope Hirasawa Makoto can hold on. It's not too late to go back to heaven to find Jialu!"

At the same time, three people have arrived in another space.

The sky above my head seemed like an oil painting by Monet, with neither stars nor moon, nor the light of the sun. The dim abstract colors converged, vaguely seeming to form patterns in the shape of a guitar and a drum set.

The apartment building I was in had disappeared, replaced by a familiar yet unfamiliar street. Looking out, at the end of the skyline was a gray wilderness and a building that looked like a background. An air of loneliness and desolation filled my face.

"Where is this? I seem to have seen this before. Where are the Gabriels?"

Makoto Hirasawa frowned and looked around the dilapidated streets, feeling inexplicably familiar with them as if he had seen them somewhere.

Hongxia nodded in agreement. Having already experienced teleportation once in the Yamada family hospital, she was still able to remain calm. However, Xingge's condition was not right.

"Here..." Manager Xingge's mind flashed through some fragments, and a look of reminiscence and confusion appeared on his face, "This is Shimokita nine years ago."

"The shopping street at the south exit of Shimokitazawa has now been demolished. Our band's last performance was held at RainyBar on this street."

Pingze Cheng followed Xingge's gaze and easily found the only colorful building on the dilapidated and gloomy street.

Paintings in the sky, unforgettable performances, and band membership—

According to the information currently available, is this a space that reflects the inner world of drummer Rina?

While Hirasawa Makoto was thinking, Hongxia suddenly pulled his sleeve nervously.

"Cheng, Cheng-kun!"

He looked up and saw several familiar figures walking out of the bar.

Hachishaku-no-Mrs., wearing a white dress and holding the neck of an electric guitar with her backhand; Ozaki Ryuou, holding a drumstick in each of his front paws; and an infinitely regenerating evil spirit, carrying a bass, with his limbs pieced together like a rag doll.

They are all old faces, and no matter which one they are, they are enough to give Hirasawa Makoto a hard time.

"Looking at the way you guys are doing, the band you formed together will definitely be called the Three Emperors!"

The sarcastic words were like the sound of a starting gun, and the three evil spirits took a step forward and suddenly rushed towards Hirasawa Makoto.

Hirasawa Makoto's expression froze, and a blue star-like light suddenly burst out from between his clenched hands. After he muttered a Latin spell, ripples suddenly appeared in the sky above the three evil spirits' heads.

The next moment, strong frost fell from the sky and quickly condensed into dark ice crystals on the ground. The evil spirit at the center suddenly slowed down its movements and gradually came to a standstill as the ice crystals condensed on its limbs.

"Is this the end?"

Hong Xia asked stupidly, and as if in response to her words, the ice crystals on Ozaki Ryuou's body made a crackling sound, and an angry growl came through the ice, as if it would soon break free from its restraints.

Ozaki Ryuou's weakness is on his head, and Lady Yashaku is really weak...

Just as Hirasawa Makoto was thinking about how to kill three evil spirits at once—

Just like the three evil spirits that were being controlled, three evil spirits with the same configuration walked out of the bar again!

"..."

He fought three emperors x2, is that true or false?

If he was alone, with the unused [Arcane Charge], he might be able to give it a try, but now...

"Get ready for Subway Surfers."

Makoto Hirasawa grabbed the Ijichi sisters with both hands, cast a few spells to delay the evil spirits, and turned around and ran with them.

Volume 1: Chapter 209: Manager Xingge is too poor

Illusion, otherworld or some inner space?

I don’t even know what to call this space, but just like the feeling when I came in, it looks dangerous, but it’s not safe at all.

After all the magic slots were used up, Hirasawa Makoto had to use [Arcane Charge] again, and only then was he able to escape with the Ijichi sisters to a temporarily safe place to rest.

On the corner of the street, in a remote convenience store, three cats hid behind the shelves without daring to breathe.

"The evil spirits haven't come to us yet, so we can take a break."

Makoto Hirasawa carefully poked his head out from behind the shelf, took a look outside, then turned to the Ijichi sisters beside him and said.

Hongxia released the fingers that were covering her mouth, opened her mouth and gasped softly. The escape just now was not very friendly to the girl with poor physical strength. In the second half of the escape, she was held in the arms of Hirasawa Makoto.

Manager Xingge crossed his arms and lowered his voice: "Can you take your hands away now?"

Hirasawa Makoto was stunned and looked down, only to find that he had grabbed the manager's arm when he poked his head in, and what a coincidence, the place he grabbed was exactly the inside of Ce Ru's upper arm.

"I'm sorry, it's just subconscious..."

The arrogant store manager could naturally distinguish priorities, and just shook his head and asked: "I should be the one to apologize for getting you involved... Do we still have a chance to escape now?"

"Of course there is. We just need to buy time."

Hirasawa Makoto said confidently that as long as the angel took action, everything would be fine.

Gabriel hasn't appeared yet, it is very likely that she has gone to heaven to ask Jialu for help.

"Hold on firmly, there will be a way."

Manager Xingge lowered his head, his eyes melancholy:

"It doesn't matter to me. I can die now and my age can still be frozen at 29. But it's different for you..."

Perhaps the old scenery of this space evoked some memories for her, and at this moment, Ichichi Xingge was particularly sentimental.

"Now that things have come to this, please help me replenish my mana first," Hirasawa Makoto interrupted the store manager's chant, "Instead of dwelling on these, it would be more meaningful to help me replenish my mana."

Focusing on the butter interface, the spell slots are almost used up, with only one fifth-ring spell slot remaining.

"One more spell slot will last you a lot longer."

"What does it mean to replenish magic? How do you replenish it?"

After a brief explanation, Manager Xingge's eyes became sharp:

"We just need to do something shameful to replenish our magic? The conditions are surprisingly simple."

Hirasawa Makoto raised his right hand and said seriously, "Although it is unbelievable, it has come to this point. There is no need for me to lie and take advantage of others."

Hong Xia, who had been silent all this time, now interrupted and affirmed: "Cheng Jun did not lie, everything he said is true."

"Hongxia, have you ever helped him make up for it?"

Manager Xingge's expression became even more unfriendly. Just based on the examples cited by Hirasawa Makoto such as "manipulating people's hearts", a sister-con simply could not accept it.

Hirasawa Makoto spread his hands: "In an emergency, it's okay to eat protected animals, let alone when it's a matter of life and death?"

Ichichi Hoshige actually had no intention of blaming her, but her sister-con nature was subconsciously playing tricks on her. She sighed and waved her hands:

"What do we need to do?"

Hirasawa Makoto looked at the requirement for replenishing magic. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but as soon as he did, his scalp started tingling.

[Today's Second Ring Magic: Carefully feel the facial cleanser for more than five seconds (limited to once per person)]

[…Three-ring magic repair: Choose one of the armpits and sides, and savor it for more than 30 seconds (unlimited number of times for one person)]

[…Fourth Ring Magic Replenishment: Taste a sip of kelp wine (one time per person)]

Wakame wine... Even if they agree, there is no sake as a prop. Who knows if the things on the shelf next to them will make people die on the spot after drinking them.

The fourth ring is so difficult, not to mention the fifth ring, it must be an even more incredible requirement. Although Huangyou had previously said that he wanted to increase the difficulty of replenishing mana, the gap in difficulty is too big!

After simply describing the requirements for the second and third ring magicka to the Ichichi sisters.
