In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

The beautiful girl with black and red hair slowly sat up from the grass, and the moonlight poured down on her, adding a touch of holiness to her.

only…

After the girl stood up from the ground, she did not move closer to Sylvia. She simply stood there, tilting her head and keeping a certain distance from Sylvia.

This look of hers is suspicious no matter how you look at it!

So they were really being wary of me?

Sylvia understood. If she were singing alone at night in a deserted place and a stranger suddenly appeared, she would definitely be wary of him.

This world is not stable. Despite the bright surface, there are still undercurrents. Even Sylvie could be in danger if she is not careful.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Sylvia is the world's number one diva, with extremely high global recognition; at least 70% of all humankind knows her.

But the girl in front of him didn't recognize him at all, even though he hadn't disguised himself...

So, it really is because of the rebellion?

Thinking of this, a hint of pity inexplicably appeared in Sylvia's gaze as she looked at the girl.

Such a beautiful girl, who clearly had the opportunity to stand on a bigger stage, was completely cut off from the outside world because of the war.

In modern society, especially in a near-future technological world like the Academy City with its superpowers, this is a very rare thing.

“My name is Sylvia, you can just call me Sylvia.”

"As for my identity... I am a..."

"singer!"

Since the other party didn't know her at all and was definitely not her fan, Sylvia naturally didn't need to communicate with them as the "world's number one diva".

Standing here, she is simply a singer who loves to sing.

"A singer? You like to sing too?"

Although the girl's expression did not change, Sylvia sensed a faint hint of joy in her tone.

"Yes, I really, really... like it!"

When it comes to singing, Sylvia is naturally incredibly confident; otherwise, she wouldn't be the world's number one diva.

Especially when she talks about liking someone, the smile on her face is completely genuine.

This distance is far too far, let's move a little closer...

Even from a distance, Sylvia could tell how beautiful the girl was; she was an exceptional beauty, a fairy unlike any other.

But Sylvia had only taken a few steps when she froze on the spot, because she had already seen the girl's thin clothes and... tightly closed eyes!

blind?

Seeing this, Sylvia could no longer suppress the pity in her heart and decided to go directly to the girl's side. She gathered her star power in her feet and planned to step over her.

And it was at that very moment that the girl moved…

She made the exact same movements as Sylvia and jumped the same distance. Even though they were more than ten meters apart before, when Sylvia arrived at the same spot where Columbia had been, the distance between them was still more than ten meters.

Sylvie: ? ? ?

Good guy!

This girl's reaction speed is ridiculously fast! She didn't even look!

He got up after Sylvie moved, but arrived before Sylvie landed.

Clearly, this girl in front of me is no ordinary person!

"What...are you going to do?"

Why...did you suddenly get so close to me?

There was absolutely no sense of questioning; the girl's tone remained ethereal, as if everything around her was irrelevant.

But for some reason, Sylvia sensed a strange danger... as if she was being watched by something!

Only now did Sylvia understand…

It turns out that the girl in front of me is a "strong person"!

"Don't worry, I mean no harm."

"Because I saw that your eyes were closed, I thought... you needed my help. Now it seems that I was wrong."

"sorry!"

Sylvie knew that she absolutely could not tell any lies to the wary girl; honesty was the best approach.

So she admitted that she had made a mistake and chose to apologize.

"Is that so?"

"It's alright. It's not that I can't see, it's just that seeing too many things only adds to my troubles... so I closed my eyes."

“Sylvie, you’re a good person.”

"My name is Columbia, it's nice to meet you!"

So her name was Columbia?

Sylvie had only just learned the other person's name when she was inexplicably given a "friend zone" card, and could only respond with a smile.

but…

"Did you close your eyes because seeing too many things would cause you distress?"

No wonder!

Sylvie understood then why Columbia had such a sense of isolation from the world, why she was so pure and ethereal…

Because she herself had no intention of integrating into this world!

So they built an invisible wall between themselves and the world!

Sylvie lost her parents at a very young age and had originally planned to close herself off emotionally like Columbia, until she met her teacher…

With the help of her teacher, Sylvie learned to sing and to fight, eventually becoming the "World's Number One Diva".

So when Sylvie saw Columbia, it was as if she were seeing her past self...

This can't go on!

Humans are social creatures and cannot live alone.

If you stay away from people for a long time, all sorts of problems will definitely arise!

She herself had overcome her difficulties with the help of her teacher, and now, was it finally her turn to help others?

Sylvie took a deep breath.

At this moment, she no longer concealed her true purpose, but instead extended her right hand to the girl in front of her, just as her missing teacher had done, extending a helping hand to those in need.

"Columbia, would you like to leave this place with me?"

Columbia & Sandoni / Academy City: Chapter 3 The Days Sandoni Was Away

[Current World: Academic War City.]

[Task 1: Become the world's number one singer and the world's number one scientist, respectively, with each being recognizable to over one billion people.]

[Task Two: Join two different academies and win first and second place in the Star Martial Arts Festival twice.]

Although it may seem like there are only two missions, they can actually be viewed as four missions, and unlike in previous worlds, her two bodies need to be "hostile".

"Although it's a bit troublesome, I believe everything can be resolved if we can get Sandoni's help..."

Looking at the beautiful songstress standing beside her, Columbia's voice remained calm, yet her words carried a hint of confidence.

Not long ago, a girl named Columbia agreed to Sylvie's request and returned to the upscale hotel where the songstress was staying with her.

Because the girls were found at night, and Sylvie had run away, their whereabouts were naturally not discovered by the staff.

So right now, Columbia is in Sylvie's bedroom, discussing some...life issues with this girl who loves to sing just like herself.

"Columbia, the one you mentioned before... Sandone, is he your good friend?"

"Yes, Sandoni is my good friend."

Without any hint of uncertainty, Columbia spoke with utmost seriousness, because from now on, she had to establish her persona.

“I’ve known Sandorne for a long time. Back then, I wasn’t very good at handling relationships with friends, and Sandorne taught me how. She even praised my singing…”

"So I took advantage of Sandonna's rest time at night to sing specifically for her, intending to get on her good side."

Although she didn't open her eyes, Sylvie was quite certain that Columbia's eyes were filled with memories.

She could even imagine the look of emotion on the face of the girl named Sandoni after hearing Columbia's beautiful singing at night.

So, Sylvie asked this soul-searching question…

"Since you sang a song especially for Sandone, she must be very happy, right?"

Sylvie smiled, expecting what would follow to be a pleasant memory for Colombia, but…

The girl in front of him unexpectedly fell silent.

"..."

Sylvie then fell silent as well.

Judging from the other person's expression, it was clearly not a happy thing. Although Sylvie was also curious about what had happened between the other person and that Sandoni, their relationship did not seem to have reached the point of being able to confide in each other.

Therefore, it's better to "exchange bodies" before "opening hearts".

Between girls, close-range actions can obviously shorten the distance between them.

Once their relationship improves, maybe Columbia will be willing to tell her?

"Columbia, the bathwater is ready. I'll scrub your back for you in a bit!"

"You must be cold after being outside for so long in the middle of the night, right?"

Sylvie pushed Columbia by the back, shoving the beautiful young woman into the steamy bathroom.

The two blurry figures were reflected on the blurry glass door. Fortunately, there was no third person in this luxurious room, otherwise the matter between the two girls would have spread on the Internet at an extraordinary speed.

But the two girls' voices pierced through the blurry glass door without hesitation…

"Stay with me for the next few days. Once we get back to the floating city, I'll introduce you to Miss Pedra."

"Although she's a bit strict, Miss Pedra is indeed a good person and a good agent. I believe you'll like her!"

"As for finding Miss Sandone... let's put that aside for now."

"When I have time, I'll go out with you to look for Miss Sandoni, after all, my teacher... is also missing now."

Sylvie, adhering to the principle of helping whenever possible, decided to personally assist the girl she had just met in finding friends. After all, her own teacher had met the same fate, and she naturally didn't want anyone else to suffer the same way...

However, a hint of melancholy still appeared in Sylvie's eyes when she thought of her teacher.

After all these years, Sylvie had been searching for her teacher, but had never found him.

Columbia noticed Sylvie's expression and gently hugged the girl in front of her, then, when Sylvie wasn't looking, she gave her a light peck like a bird.

"Thank you, Sylvie."

"I will also help you find a teacher during this time."

"May we all...find someone important to us!"

Inside the bathroom, the two girls' duet once again filled the air, adding a touch of joy to the luxurious suite.

After all, they are similar people; they both possess stunning beauty, love to sing, are innocent and kind, and even…

They are all searching for that missing person who is incredibly important to them!

By a twist of fate, the two girls came together and chose to support each other. It is believed that in the not-too-distant future, they will both be able to realize their dreams…

But is that really the case?

Aren't Columbia and Sandoni supposed to be one soul in two bodies? Why did they suddenly get lost?

There's only one answer: it's fake!
