Sakura Emma, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Page 11

"Hey, junior, can I ask you a question?"

Hannah's voice suddenly came from the side.

Emma thought to herself, 'My junior can't answer that.'

After Yang Wen finished leveling up, he closed the control panel. He planned to increase his favorability with the NPCs.

"You say it."

Hannah briefly organized her thoughts...

"Sakuraha-senpai, are you... a magical girl?"

Yang Wen opened the [Parting Ways] window and glanced at the mana recovery progress:

Less than half an hour.

So Emma answered truthfully.

"Not yet."

"Still?" Hannah thought to herself, but didn't dwell on it. "Then it's not?"

She was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Not a magical girl, but this junior is so amazing?" Hannah smiled. "Just like a magical girl from an anime..."

After saying this, she secretly observed Emma out of the corner of her eye, hoping to get a like-minded answer.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, nothing came. So Hannah said to herself,

"Thank you."

"Hmm?" Emma let out a soft exclamation.

Hannah said, "You saved me."

She looked at the teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls) hanging from the ceiling.

"My original plan was to use this test to see if you were the responsible type, my musical skills were secondary. But now it seems..."

Hannah looked at Emma, a mischievous smile playing on her lips behind her fan.

"I think you're qualified."

Emma felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Hannah's personal praise.

Only now did she realize that she was walking alongside her senior in the dangerous wreckage field. She had even become her senior's partner.

That morning, she was still thinking about how to reconcile with Hiro.

The few hours that followed felt like a lifetime.

She understood that if her body had not been controlled, she would never have experienced such a dramatic life.

Then Hannah suddenly said:

"Once we get out of here, we'll be partners!"

Emma: "..."

Yang Wen: "..."

For the first time, their minds were united. Looking at the small door to the boss's room at the end of the corridor, they thought of the same thing:

"Senior, you shouldn't say things like that!"

Then, Hannah delivered another blow:

—By the way, junior, do you play any musical instruments?

Emma's thoughts froze instantly.

Oh no... I can't do it!

For the first time, she pinned her hopes on "that person," hoping they would answer reliably, as always, "Yes, it's possible!"

But Emma's body shattered her hopes.

"will not."

"..."

The air seemed to freeze.

Hannah's lips twitched. "Um... you don't play any instruments, but you still want to be my concert partner?"

Emma didn't hesitate.

"think."

Yang Wen thought to himself: If I don't increase the favorability rating, I might as well do it.

Emma exclaimed inwardly, 'That's right! That's exactly it, excellent answer!'

Emma cheers on "that person"!

Seeing Emma's confident tone, Hannah sighed helplessly.

"I really can't do anything with you... Fine then."

Hannah wrapped her hair up a little shyly.

"I can't offer you any reward, so letting you earn some credits at the concert is fine too. Anyway, I originally planned to perform a solo, but my teacher told me to find a partner... Now I think it's okay."

"Did the teacher ask you to find a partner?"

Based on his extensive experience with a series of visual novels such as "Senren Banka", "Summer Pockets", and "Near Moon", Yang Wen judged that this must be the beginning of a favorability event.

Sure enough, Hannah seemed a little hesitant.

She glanced at Emma, her eyes showing hesitation. Then she looked away and said casually,

"Actually, I have a bit of stage fright. I'm a little scared to go up on stage alone."

Hannah glanced at Emma furtively.

"Even though you can't play any instruments, you'll still have to come on stage with me, okay?" She unconsciously quickened her pace. "Even playing the triangle would be fine. Just come up there with me!"

Then, a faint, almost inaudible "Okay?" drifted through the air.

Emma responded without hesitation,

"it is good."

"call……"

Someone let out a long sigh of relief.

That's so hard to guess.

Hannah's steps quickened, and her voice became slightly more ethereal.

"My body feels so light... There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

Emma: "..."

Yang Wen: "..."

Just one minute later, they were in perfect harmony for the second time:

What's behind that door is probably not so easy to defeat.

I suspect something unexpected is going to happen.

when--!!!

A deep, resonant chime, as if capable of shattering the heart, boomed from behind the tightly closed door at the end of the corridor.

All the teru teru bozu dolls in the corridor trembled violently with the sound of the bell.

Hannah's face turned pale instantly, and she instinctively shrank behind Emma.

Yang Wen calmly guided Emma step by step toward the door.

His finger was already on [E].

Before this, three files had been saved.

Soon, the two arrived at the small door.

The wooden door looked as if it had been soaked in water for many years, its surface blackened and mottled.

Yang Wen couldn't help but think of the Silent Hill game he had played recently...

Regardless of whether the senior student behind him was ready, he pressed the interaction button without hesitation.

squeak-

The door slowly opened.

A damp, cold wind, carrying the smell of mold and rust, mixed with countless fine raindrops, lashed at my face.

Behind the door lay a desolate courtyard shrouded in torrential rain. Countless pale white sheets billowed wildly in the wind and rain, like banners summoning souls.

In the very center of the courtyard, a huge abandoned clock tower stands in the rain.

Emma's destination was beneath the clock tower.

Its head was a cracked ceramic doll head, with black engine oil flowing from its empty eye sockets.

The torso was twisted from rusty textile machine bearings and gears, making a grating, clattering noise with each movement.

A dozen or so wet, white strips of cloth extended from the spinning machine, waving in the air like tentacles.

Noticing the arrival of visitors, the wreckage of the textile machine swung the fabric around its body, causing the rain to intensify!

It's like a host giving a grand welcome to a visitor.

Volume 1: Chapter 9 Sakura Emma is a Hero!

Looking at the wreckage of the spinning machine, Emma saw a red name appear before her eyes:

【Remains Familiar - Rain-Praying Weaver Lv3 (Stage 2 Lv15)】

[Please note! This enemy has two phases; please proceed with caution.]

Oh wow? There are two stages?

So, in the first stage, the low level was just this guy pretending to be weak while actually being strong?

Yang Wen glanced at the phrase "going against the grain".

[The Heart Gem's magic has been restored; you can transform into a magical girl at any time.]

Yang Wen pondered briefly on how to maximize the benefits of the enemy's "second phase" and the pink filth.

Adjusting his perspective to look back at Hannah, whose face was filled with fear, he came up with a plan to maximize the profits from the pink filth.

Hannah exclaimed, "Emma, it's coming!"

"Ah."

Emma stopped smiling and drew her baton.

The "Weaver Praying for Rain" stands at the base of the clock tower, roughly the size of a car.

At this moment, the weavers praying for rain flew into the air.

It swayed its entire body of cloth strips, as if in slow motion, moving towards Emma frame by frame.

However, its speed allowed it to reach Emma in the blink of an eye.

When attacked, Emma raised her baton.

Emma was overwhelmed by a series of clanging sounds.

At this moment, a sharp edge was faintly hidden between the strips of cloth.

Emma glanced to the side and saw a strip of cloth with a pair of scissors at its length!

She sensed something and rolled to the side. The scissors' sudden attack didn't even touch her clothes.
