I'm doing abstract animation

The flying dagger was easily caught by the dark figure, who then walked upside down towards the three of them.

This voice...

Miyuki Shirogane's expression changed, and Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, who were standing next to him, couldn't help but glance at him in surprise.

As the shadowy figure drew closer, the three people's mouths grew wider and wider...

Bang!

The dark figure fell from the sky, flipped slightly in mid-air, and then stood straight in front of the three people in an extremely abstract way.

The action looked hilarious, but Kaguya and the other two couldn't laugh at all, especially Miyuki Shirogane, who was completely dumbfounded the moment he saw who it was.

There was no other reason than that the person who came looked exactly like him.

"Nice to meet you, Shirogane Miyuki from the real world."

A person who looked exactly like him gave him a bright smile and even extended his hand.

"What...what do you mean..."

However, Shirogane Miyuki was not buying it. He looked at the other party with disbelief and horror: "Why do you look exactly like me... What, what are you?"

No wonder he lost his composure. Just imagine, in a dimly lit parking lot, someone who looks exactly like you is walking upside down on the ceiling, stepping towards you. That's a terrifying image!

"Obviously, I am you!" The other person shrugged helplessly, then looked at Kaguya Shinomiya, who was speechless with surprise: "What a coincidence. I just came to say hello to myself, but I ended up running into an old classmate. Hello, Shinomiya-san!"

"Ah, I guess you're not doing too well right now, after all, your family... never mind, I won't spoil it."

This suddenly appearing Shirogane Miyuki seemed to be a chatterbox. Even though the three of them were too shocked to pay attention to him, he kept babbling on and on.

"What...what exactly is your purpose?"

Seeing that the other party seemed quite easy to talk to, Shirogane Miyuki mustered up his courage and asked, "Also, why were you able to..."

Walking upside down on the ceiling... He couldn't think of a better way to describe it.

"Oh, you mean that? It's walking backwards, we all basically know how to do that!"

The other Shirogane Miyuki waved his hand dismissively, then grinned mischievously at him: "I was planning to give you a shock. How was it? Were you scared?"

Shirogane Miyuki: "..."

What a nasty guy! Is this the time to be scary?!

However, he did notice something: the guy who looked exactly like him had just said "you," not "you all," which meant that the other party was indeed coming for him...

Can……

"Why did you come to see me? And what did you mean by 'yourself in the real world' earlier?"

Too many doubts filled his mind, and the other person didn't seem like a bad person, so he simply poured out all his doubts.

"Why should I look at you..." The other Shirogane Miyuki scratched his head with a hint of melancholy: "Why else? Of course, it's because I'm worried you'll get hurt!"

That was his honest opinion. What if Shirogane Miyuki in the real world got injured and it affected his replacement?

Are you worried I'll get hurt?

Shirogane Miyuki felt a warmth in his heart. This was the first time in his life that someone other than his family had shown him such direct concern. Even though this person looked exactly like him, he was still touched.

However, to his surprise, what the other party said next completely plunged him into fear.

"Sigh, I didn't know you'd come here at this time. If I had known, I would have gone easy on you. Otherwise, I might have accidentally blown you up, and that would have been the end of us." The other Shirogane Miyuki patted his chest with some lingering fear: "I guess I'll have to be gentler next time."

…………

Silence, a deathly silence, froze the three people whose expressions had begun to relax.

None of the three were fools, and they naturally understood the meaning behind the other's words.

"You...you mean..." Shirogane Miyuki gasped for breath, staring at the other person with a stiff expression: "The explosion outside, you did it?"

Then he saw a smile appear on the other person's face, which was exactly the same as his own—a smile he had never seen on his own face before.

It seemed to be filled with jealousy towards the entire world, a jealousy that wished it could drag the whole world down with it...

"Yeah, is that so strange? After all... who told you bunch of trash from the real world to live a freer life than me..."

At this moment, the face that I saw every morning when I woke up felt so unfamiliar.

And it's just so... terrifying!

P.S.: I feel so tired and can't seem to muster any motivation. Is it because of the hot weather?

A bizarre and fantastical city: Chapter Sixty-Nine - Live Broadcast

"You bastard, do you even know how many casualties your actions have caused?!"

Just as Shirogane Miyuki was speechless, stunned by his other self, something unexpected happened.

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly stood up, pointed at another Shirogane Miyuki, and cursed, "You're just... just scum!"

Unfortunately, despite her burning anger, due to her background, she couldn't even utter the kind of vulgar language she usually heard, let alone curse. So even if she did curse, she couldn't come up with anything offensive.

"...That's quite unexpected. You, a young lady from a wealthy family, would care about the lives of those lowly commoners?"

The other Shirogane Miyuki looked at her with some surprise: "I thought human lives were just a number to people of your class~"

"you you……"

Kaguya Shinomiya took a step back, then immediately felt it was too embarrassing to be so frightened, so she took a step forward: "What do you take human life for!"

“…Boring.” The other Shirogane Miyuki glanced at her speechlessly. If this guy wasn’t also a real-world counterpart of one of them, he wouldn’t have bothered to talk to her.

Looking at Shirogane Miyuki, who was still in shock, a kind smile appeared on his face: "I'm relieved to see you're safe and sound, but you still need to stay away from those two. They're not on your level, and they'll never treat you as an equal, understand?"

As he said this, his facial muscles twitched slightly, as if he had thought of something: "They will only take advantage of you, squeeze out the last bit of value from you, and then kick you aside."

"You, you're talking nonsense, I don't know him at all..."

Kaguya Shinomiya tried to refute him anxiously, but for some reason, she lacked confidence. Although she herself was not that kind of person, there was nothing wrong with what the other person said. Her family, and even the entire upper class in Japan, basically said the same thing...

"I'm telling you...you're so annoying!"

After being interrupted time and again, the smile on Shirogane Miyuki's face vanished. He stared at Shinomiya Kaguya expressionlessly: "Don't you know that interrupting someone's conversation is very impolite?"

"I……"

"That makes sense, how could people like you, who are high and mighty, care about the thoughts of lowly commoners like us?"

The other Shirogane Miyuki looked at her with a mocking expression: "In the end, in your eyes, people from the lower classes are nothing more than tools, used when they're useful and discarded when they're not... right?"

"No!" Kaguya Shinomiya finally couldn't stand the sarcasm anymore and retorted loudly, "I'm not like that!"

"Tsk, who cares about you? Anyway, your good days are coming to an end."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Hmm, judging by the time, we should be arriving soon... Tsk, this guy has wasted too much of my time, I haven't even had a proper chat with you yet, I have to go."

"Oh, by the way, check your cell phone signal, there's big news coming soon!"

He winked at Shirogane Miyuki, and the other party began to dissipate like mist.

"What the hell is going on?"

Shirogane Miyuki watched as the other person gradually disappeared, completely stunned.

"Just a little trick. Oh, by the way, Hayasaka-san, here you go..."

A black streak of light shot out from his hand. Hayasaka Ai's expression changed, and before she could react, the streak of light grazed her cheek and slammed into the wall behind her.

A trickle of blood oozed from her cheek.

Her lips twitched, and she turned to look at the wall, where a dagger was deeply embedded, reaching its base.

Another Shirogane Miyuki disappeared right before their eyes.

After a long silence, Shirogane Miyuki finally gave a wry smile: "What are you talking about? At least explain yourself clearly..."

The other person popped up and said a bunch of nonsensical things, and then magically disappeared. Who wouldn't be confused?

Kaguya Shinomiya stood to the side, pouting and sulking. She felt insulted and was cursing the other person in her heart.

Hayasaka Ai stared blankly at the dagger stuck in the wall, not even wiping the blood from her face.

For a moment, they fell silent.

at this time.

"Ah, found it!"

A slightly surprised female voice echoed throughout the underground parking lot, startling all three of them.

Who?

To shout so loudly at a time like this, are you out of your mind?!

The three of them instinctively peeked out from behind the car and saw a pink-haired girl walking happily toward a parking space.

Should we go take a look?

The three communicated with their eyes.

"go with!"

Kaguya Shinomiya said through gritted teeth, "That girl looks about our age, she shouldn't be a bad person."

Hayasaka Ai and Shirogane Miyuki exchanged a glance. Although they found her reaction a little strange, they didn't say anything more.

Little did they know that Kaguya Shinomiya was provoked by another Shirogane Miyuki.

Didn't you say I don't treat people like human beings?

I'm going to prove you wrong. This girl's behavior is clearly going to bring trouble, and I'm going to save her today!

This childlike self-justification is something probably only she could pull off.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Yui!"

Eriri was delighted when she saw who it was.

After the correction card's effect wore off, the two childhood friends reconnected, but for various reasons, they never met in person.

However, they still learned what each other looked like when they grew up through photos.

"Eri, what are you doing here?"

Yui Yuigahama was also very happy to see her friends again.

"Well, that's a long story..."

Her face flushed red and then turned pale as she recalled what had happened.

Who the hell knew that just coming out to sell doujinshi would lead to such a bizarre turn of events!

"Auntie, it's been a long time!"

Noticing that Sayuri was also there, Yui Yuigahama quickly and politely greeted her.

"It's nothing, Yui. It's been a long time."

Xiaobaihe weakly waved her hand. Although the bleeding from the wound had stopped, the aftereffects had not yet dissipated.

"Ah, isn't this Shiyu? You're here too..."

Noticing the three people in the corner, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Heh, heh heh, we just happened to come together."

The two were fine when they didn't meet, but as soon as they did, they thought of the hotel incident from last time, and an awkward atmosphere immediately spread.

"You two know each other?" Eriri asked, somewhat surprised.

We've gone beyond just knowing each other; we've been completely open with each other...

They both smiled awkwardly and didn't offer any further explanation.

Something's strange," Eriri thought suspiciously, looking at the two awkward people. She felt that something must have happened between them.

"By the way, Eriri, who are these two?"

Seeing that her childhood friend was about to press her for more information, Yui Yuigahama quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, the one with short hair is Megumi Kato, and the other one with glasses is Asuna Yuuki. They are both students of Toyonosaki."
