Columbia & Sandoni/Academic City: Chapter 67 Kidnapping an Innocent Girl?

"As expected of St. Galedovath, the academy with the highest average student level... That performance just now must have been rehearsed for at least three months, right?"

"It's just a school festival, why do they need to practice so far in advance?"

"Because the academy is emphasizing rules this time, and it's the most orderly place in this water city, you'd never see the scene from Revof Black here!"

After a brief disguise, Columbia, led by Sylvie, began to explore the floating city and the school festival.

After all, since arriving at this academy, neither Sandoni nor Columbia had much time to go out and wander around; they had been doing their own things.

As a newly debuted singer, Colombia spends almost all of her time on live streaming, practicing, and singing, and even frequently holds concerts to attract fans, so she doesn't have enough time to go out and about.

Sandone's situation was similar. In the beginning, in order to understand the knowledge system of this world, she almost stayed in the laboratory and did not go out. Later, after getting used to this lifestyle, she was too lazy to change it.

This situation doesn't just happen in anime; it often happens in real life too... Even in your own neighborhood, there will be places you haven't been to, especially for "homebodies" like Sandoni!

Fortunately, Columbia had Sylvia, a good friend, to guide her and help her avoid many pitfalls.

Sylvie, once known as the "world's number one diva," appears to be similar to Columbia on the surface, with little time for shopping.

But in reality, this girl had already traveled all over the six academies, including the illegal areas where she couldn't go, in order to find her teacher, Usla.

When it comes to familiarity with this floating city, few can surpass Sylvia, because Sylvia is "omnipotent" and can already sense existence. She has even explored narrow paths that are inaccessible to ordinary people.

"Columbia, where do you plan to go next?"

"If I could, I'd like to go see Sandone and play with her... She's my best friend!"

Sylvie, who was initially happy about this "date," was taken aback when she heard the name Sandoni.

Columbia, why is she so dense?

Even though I'm the one you're playing with right now, why are you always thinking about Sandorne?

"what about me?"

"If Sandone is Columbia's best friend, then what about me? What am I in Columbia's heart?"

A problem has arisen: deaths between couples!

Although Columbia had no romantic feelings for Sylvie and they were just ordinary friends, it was impossible to know what Sylvie thought of Columbia.

after all…

Colombia is truly extraordinary!

Sylvie was immediately drawn to Columbia's unique charm upon their first meeting and they became good friends.

As time went on, her feelings for Columbia gradually grew, from "a child who needed care" to "a friend," and then from "a friend" to "a close friend."

However, this feeling took a qualitative leap after Sylvia's teacher, Usla, was found. Even Sylvia herself is not sure what it has become now.

Even so, she didn't really want to see Columbia laughing and talking with people other than herself, let alone calling them her best friends.

"Sylvie too!"

"He is my best friend in the world!"

Columbia's words were perfectly reasonable, after all, Sandone was a good friend, and their relationship wasn't limited to just this world. But Sylvie's was limited, though it was hard to tell from the girl's words.

Are they all best friends?

"Never mind, there's not much difference... Columbia doesn't seem to be very clear either."

Sylvie naturally didn't understand Columbia's "truthful words," but after a slight sigh, she led Columbia toward Sandoni's location, Seidoukan Academy.

Although Sylvie was unhappy that Columbia went to see him, she would respect Columbia's choice if it was Columbia's own.

"But if that time really comes, I'm afraid I might do some things that I can't understand myself?"

"Speaking of which, after walking around for so long, are you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry. How about we grab something to eat first, and then go have some fun at the Star Guide Museum?"

"Okay, we'll do as Sylvie says!"

-

"Hey! I already invited you out to play, why are you still wearing your school uniform? Can't you change your clothes?"

At the main gate of Seidokan Academy, Yulis had changed into a pure white dress and was even holding a pink parasol. Even if you couldn't tell that she was a princess, you could tell that she was rich and noble.

Especially during the school festival when there are many tourists, even places like Levof Black, where gangs are everywhere and thugs gather, will restrain themselves a bit.

In short, even if Yulis dresses in an eye-catching way, the chances of her attracting attention are not very high.

On the other hand, Sandone was wearing a researcher's white lab coat in the lab... well, a white lab coat dress, since Sandone was so short that she could only wear the lab coat as a dress.

After leaving the lab, Sandone reverted to her ordinary school uniform, appearing even less distinctive. The contrast was particularly striking when she stood next to Julis.

"Alright, alright, I'm really fed up with you... But we're good friends, so I'll listen to you this once!"

After all, Sandone had given Yulis a good beating yesterday, so it would be unreasonable for her to continue picking fights.

Then, Sandone transformed, and an exquisite outfit replaced her current attire, leaving Euryth wide-eyed.

"what is this?"

"This is a small invention for everyday life, inspired by the storage function of the Huang-style weapon. It allows for one-click outfit changes. It should be on display at this year's school festival."

"..."

Yulis sighed, "Why didn't you use something this good sooner? But since I'm a princess, I'll forgive you this time!"

"However, we seem to be a bit late. Shall we go get something to eat first?"

"We haven't even shopped yet, and you want to eat already? We might as well buy some crepes to fill our stomachs. You go buy them!"

"I'm really impressed by you... You'll have to give me a one-click outfit changer when the time comes!"

"understood!"

As expected, Sandone turned and left after Juliet left; after all, it would be so boring to wait there alone!

You might as well go play with your own half; Columbia is sitting alone in the restaurant eating right now!

This is also the perfect time to abduct a "young girl." I wonder what will happen when Sylvie finds out about this after she returns!

Columbia & Sandoni/Student City: Chapter 68 An Unexpected Encounter, You're Here Too?

"It tastes great, a flavor I've never had before..."

"In that case, let's eat more!"

A few minutes earlier, Sylvie had taken the somewhat hungry Columbia to a restaurant near the Star Guide Hall, which was said to be quite famous and attracted a large number of students to dine there.

Currently, most students are preparing for the school festival, and tourists are still inside the academies because it's not mealtime yet.

For Sylvie and Columbia, there was still plenty of time to enjoy their meal before the throngs of tourists arrived.

"Sylvie, aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not very hungry yet, I can just watch you eat..."

Columbia's way of eating desserts was as cute as a little animal, which made Sylvie take out a virtual camera and frantically take pictures of the girl eating.

Even in Sylvie's photo album, Columbia occupies a significant portion, enough to make any Sylvie fan in the world envious.

Fortunately, Columbia is also Quinnville's songstress and even Sylvie's friend. Their being together will only make both fans ecstatic!

"Hmm! If Sylvie isn't going to eat, then I won't eat either!"

"You're still the same way. Well, I'll just eat some then."

"Hmm, I can feed Sylvie too! Open your mouth, ah~"

Where no one could see, Columbia had even managed to feed Sylvie, but…

That one bite led to an unexpected outcome!

"Huh? What's this...?"

Before she could eat more than a few bites, Sylvie felt her stomach couldn't hold on any longer, as if something was churning inside her, and she almost couldn't hold back.

"Excuse me, Columbia... I seem to be feeling a little unwell and will be leaving for a while."

And so, Sylvie left Columbia's side, leaving the girl alone at the table, munching on snacks.

"Sylvie, you were too excited last night and didn't cover your belly properly!"

She glanced briefly at Sylvie Columbia, who had left in a panic, and then turned her gaze back to the table in front of her, where a bowl of delicious food sat. She began to savor the food in small bites.

During that time, Sylvie did not return until…

"Hey, isn't this our 'Fatalists' Moon Queen? What's wrong? Eating snacks all alone here?"

Sandonne's voice came from behind her, which didn't surprise Columbia at all. In fact, she did it on purpose to leave surveillance footage so that Sylvie could come looking for her later.

"I'm not alone, I'm out for snacks with a good friend. Would Sandoni want some too?"

"Huh? Who wants to eat... mmm!"

Columbia had already placed the desserts in front of Sandone, but how could Sandone possibly accept them directly?

Of course, I refused without hesitation, and then found another reason to eat it, because that's Sándorne!

But who could have imagined that Columbia would be so uncivilized, stuffing the pastry in her hand into Sandone's mouth the moment Sandone opened her mouth, causing the puppet girl's eyes to widen immediately.

"Columbia, you've changed!"

"You weren't like this before, so what changed you?"

Sandoni wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth, his eyes now showing a hint of anger compared to before.

"I don't know...maybe it's because I've been doing too many concerts lately and the pressure is too much?"

Columbia tilted her head; if it weren't for the camouflage hat obscuring her face, probably even more people would have looked at her.

"A lot of pressure?"

Sandonne's small face showed an unprecedented dissatisfaction, which usually made the surrounding temperature drop several degrees.

Of course, these grievances were not directed at Columbia, but at the academy and corporation behind her!

Columbia is already in such a state, and you capitalists are still exploiting her? Sandonna immediately recalled some unpleasant memories…

And so, the brown-haired girl took Columbia's little hand, pulled her up from the chair, and flew away from the store.

-

"Excuse me, Columbia, I'm back..."

When Sylvie emerged from the restroom in her disguised attire, she was greeted by a crowded shop, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find Columbia.

"Strange, could something have happened?"

After confirming that Columbia was not in the shop, Sylvie immediately walked out of the shop. But how was Sylvie going to find anyone in this floating city with millions of people?

"Forget it, I'll just find a secluded spot and use my ability to search..."

Sylvie's ability is omnipotent; she can use almost anything. While no single ability might be particularly powerful, they are all capable of achieving a certain effect. For example, in the area of ​​finding people…

Lonely Feather

This is the only song Sylvie sang in the original anime, which was to help the protagonist find his kidnapped companions.

Now, Sylvie never imagined that such an ability would be used on Columbia...

The thought of Columbia's gullible appearance filled Sylvie with worry, and she quickened her pace.

In order to avoid revealing her identity and causing turmoil in the surrounding area, Sylvia had to find a secluded place to use her abilities. She could reach an empty alley by going around the next corner.

We'll be able to get to that place soon!

Sylvie's attention was almost entirely focused on the song she was about to sing, and she didn't notice at all that footsteps were beginning to emerge from the other side of the alley.

"oops!"

Just as she turned the corner, Sylvie bumped into the pink figure. The two of them made a sound almost simultaneously and even fell to the ground.

"Sorry, I'm looking for someone, and I might be in a bit of a rush..."

Realizing her mistake, Sylvie apologized repeatedly and stood up from the ground almost as fast as she could, intending to help the person she had accidentally bumped into up.
