Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

Feeling dizzy.

what happened?

She remembered drinking the cucumber juice that Xiangzi personally handed her at the victory celebration party...

By the way, Xiangzi!

Mortis opened his eyes and saw Mitsukasa with a healthy smile on her face.

And Xiangzi, standing beside her with a cold expression.

Mortis struggled to say:

"Xiangzi! Why are you just watching! Have you betrayed us too?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi patted his pocket and tossed a miniature tracker to Mortis's feet.

"Build the plank road openly and visit the warehouse secretly."

She said in a sinister tone,

"Secretly installing a tracker on Chu Hua's sister, you've got quite the appetite. I suppose you've already successfully located Lin Yuanshan's home?"

Mortis turned his face away.

"No, no, that's not true!"

"Gahahahahaha!"

Chu Hua, standing to the side, let out a healthy laugh.

She walked over and pinched Mortis's cheek.

"I advise you not to try any clever tricks."

Mortis, however, was still putting up a last-ditch resistance:

"Xiangzi, didn't we agree to trust each other? Don't trust this woman, stand on my side!"

Chu Hua:

"It's no use, Mortis! You think your little tricks can fool anyone?"

"Xiangzi has already planted more than a dozen listening devices on you. Your every move is under her control!"

On the rooftop opposite the Starry Sky Livehouse in Shimokitazawa.

Lin Yuanshan put down his binoculars and took a bite of red bean bread.

"So far, everything is normal."

He had been secretly observing for a month during the second simulation.

No evil aura was detected on Xingge and the members of the End Band.

He had previously disguised himself as a passerby, asking for directions under the pretext of casually mentioning the name "Lin Yuanshan" during the conversation.

As a result, no one reacted to it, as if they had heard the name of a stranger.

Even so, he was still not convinced and observed the situation for a month before finally confirming it.

The emulator bug has been successfully fixed!

This time there really won't be any problems!

While sipping his overly sweet drink, Liang said:

"Is it really that exaggerated, Hongxia? It's just a dream. Why can't we even mention that name? We have to say we don't know it even if a stranger asks?"

Kita chimed in:

“Yes, Senior Hongxia, although we both dreamed of the same person, which is rather supernatural, that person doesn’t actually exist.”

Hongxia, however, said with a solemn expression:

"The problem isn't us, it's my sister. She's become somewhat obsessed!"

Poch raised his hand:

“But…but Hongxia, you tried to probe her before, and when you mentioned that name, the store manager…didn’t react at all.”

Hongxia smiled bitterly:

"That's just her self-protection mechanism! Normally she acts like she's completely forgotten about that person, but once certain keywords are triggered, she starts acting very strangely!"

Meanwhile, behind the bar, Xingge was talking to himself while looking at a bucket of popcorn.

"Anada? When did you arrive?"

"Yes, I love you too."

"By the way, Hongxia said that you don't exist at all, and are just my imagination. What do you think?"

"You're so mean! Why do you always avoid her?"

"Oh, right, once Hongxia gets into university, let's settle down in Vienna together."

On the rooftop, Lin Yuanshan, having finished the last bite of his red bean bread, stood up and brushed the bread crumbs off his clothes.

It's time to take action.

However, just to be on the safe side, I'll use an alternate account.

Let's call it "Lin Yuanhai" this time.

Lin Yuanshan's younger brother, Lin Yuanhai.

[Emulator Tip]

[You have equipped the skill card---Pretend to be Young]

This time, my identity is a high school student at Xiuhua High School!

With the "pretend to be young" outfit, Lin Yuanshan suddenly looked seven or eight years younger.

He was confident that even the most discerning member, Mitsukasa, might not recognize him now!

Everything is foolproof, let's get started!

The first step, as always, is to infiltrate the enemy's ranks—go to the band's stronghold, Star Livehouse, and apply for a part-time job.

When Lin Yuanshan pushed open the door of the Starry Sky, the four band members who had finished their performance and the proprietress Xing Ge were all there.

A science documentary about biology is playing on TV, showing paramecia undergoing mitosis.

The people didn't react to his face at all.

As expected, there were no problems, and the landing was safe!

"Excuse me, do you still hire part-time workers here?"

Hongxia stepped forward and looked him over:

"Junior high school students? Sorry, we don't accept students under the age of sixteen."

Lin Yuanshan produced his forged student ID.

"I am Lin Yuanhai, a first-year student at Xiuhua High School."

Hongxia waved her hand and said:

"Student ID isn't required, but the wages here aren't high. Is that acceptable to you?"

"No problem, I'm mainly here because I'm interested in music."

"Oh? So you know how to debug equipment? Like wiring and field control."

"I know a little bit, and I also know a little bit about audio tuning, so I can optimize the sound field effect according to the venue."

Hearing Lin Yuanshan say this, Boqi on the other side was already drenched in sweat.

She also works part-time at Fanxing and receives a salary.

Has the student labor industry really gotten to this point?

But her attention was quickly drawn to the television.

Paramecium...the way it splits...it's so amazing...

On the other side, Hongxia nodded in satisfaction:

"Alright then, there's an underground band live show tomorrow, you can come and give it a try."

"Ok."

Lin Yuanshan left.

Hongxia ran to the bar and said to her sister, as if to show off her achievement:

"Sister, what do you think? This person seems very capable, doesn't he?"

However, Xingge's answer left her completely baffled.

"Hongxia, I'm a little confused right now."

"what?"

"never mind."

Xingge didn't explain. She turned around, her back to Hongxia, and spoke softly to the empty bar again.

"Anada, did you see that? Just now, a younger version of you appeared."

So, what exactly happened?

"If, and I mean if, you really did leave this world in that plane crash, then why... do I see a younger version of you here?"

Her gaze fell back on the single-celled organism that was constantly dividing on the television screen, and she suddenly realized something.

"I understand."

"It must be mitosis, right?"

"It's that kind of reproductive method... after being chopped into several pieces, each piece can grow a new forest in the distance."

"But now, there are two of you..."

"What should I do?"

He munched on popcorn with a "crunch, crunch" sound, his eyes flickering with emotions.

Snap

Snap

Ga...

Ga...

Ga...

Time passed quietly,

When the clock strikes twelve o'clock the next day

Ijichi Hoshika finally emerged from the internal strife.

It has achieved a comprehensive sublimation of life form and spiritual outlook.

In the midnight chimes,

She revealed a sight that Lin Yuanshan would surely exclaim was sinister.

Relieved

A strange smile,

"It doesn't matter."

"I love them both the same!!!"

Xiuhua High School, Class 2, Grade 1.

The teacher on the podium cleared his throat.

"This is a new transfer student."
