Abnormal Moon

Kita-chan's voice trembled, a sense of tension filling her entire heart. For a moment, her heartbeat became incredibly intense, and she could even hear her own heart pounding.

Her gaze swept downwards.

Sure enough, almost no one was looking up at their band, and no one had any expectations of them, except for the store staff, Hongxia's sister and uncle, and a drunkard.

"Ahem! Mr. Roy, why are you holding up a camera?"

When she saw Roy sitting upright, holding a camera and focusing intently on them, she was so startled that she almost lost her composure.

If this performance is not good, it will become a black mark on my history!

Keep it up, Kita!

The music arrived as scheduled.

Bass, guitar, drums, and vocals were all mixed together.

"Doesn't seem particularly outstanding?"

Seeing that her master seemed particularly interested in this band, Ms. Okita listened very attentively to their performance, but her brows furrowed slightly as she listened.

She knew practically nothing about musical instruments, but she could still sense that the mixed instrument sounds weren't catchy at the moment, and the rhythms didn't resonate with her soul. Instead, they created a somewhat unsettling and irritating feeling.

Is this the kind of band that Master cares about?

"Don't rush, this is the proper way to unfold."

Roy held up the camera and filmed intently without letting up for a moment, appearing quite engrossed.

The song is over.

Even if one or two audience members were initially interested in the band, they completely lost interest at this moment. Looking down, they saw that everyone had a bored expression, or had simply taken out their phones.

On the side of the stands by the entrance, Ijichi Hoshika watched them with a tense expression, while the alcoholic sister waved her arms incessantly as if to encourage them.

Roy was still taking pictures. The girl next to him, who was probably his lover, was watching them, but her expression was far from pleasant, as if she was disappointed by their performance.

"hiss!"

Kiyotaka Ijichi suddenly gasped.

He stared at the pink-haired girl on the stage, his face full of disbelief.

"How...how could this happen!"

If the situation hadn't been so inappropriate, he would have been terrified and called the police by now.

Oh no, he's the kind of person who specializes in handling these kinds of things.

What are you panicking about?

Roy glared at Ijichi Kiyotaka with displeasure.

Such a beautiful scene, ruined by your voice!

"Coco! Mr. Roy, that pink-haired girl, actually—"

Ichika noticed the questioning look Hoshika was giving her, so she quickly lowered her voice and leaned close to Roy's ear.

"That pink-haired girl actually created a spirit all by herself! And it's not some ordinary, low-level spirit like a fly's head; it feels like it's at least at level two!"

"I saw you, don't get so close!"

Roy shifted his position unhappily, and another string of nonsense was recorded into the video!

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Kiyotaka Ijichi realized what was happening and repeatedly nodded and bowed in apology.

Forget it.

Even if that girl can create a cursed spirit of at least level two on her own, it's not a big deal. Anyway, with a top-level mage like Mr. Roy here, that cursed spirit won't cause any trouble.

In comparison, he was actually more concerned about the girl's qualifications.

Ninety-nine percent of cursed spirits are born under the influence of the negative emotions of multiple humans. It is not impossible for a child to create a cursed spirit on their own, but basically, ordinary people can only create low-level cursed spirits on their own. Creating a cursed spirit of level two or above in one go means that the child's curse power and output efficiency are quite high!

If one can be absorbed into the world of sorcery, one will probably be able to control sorcery power very quickly and hone it properly. If one can awaken a spell, one will be guaranteed to be at least a near-level one, or even reach the ranks of a level one sorcerer.

Kiyotaka Iji looked at Ichiri Goto on the stage with an expression of utter admiration.

I was wondering whether I should report this matter later.

"Of course it's amazing."

Roy, standing below the stage, also looked at Pochi with an approving gaze.

"He is indeed a genius, but he is just a genius. There's no need to be too surprised."

No matter how gifted a genius is in this era, there is one person they can never overlook.

The bone of the second limb is too sour.

He can create a top-tier cursed spirit on his own. Even if he can't be called an unprecedented prodigy, he is still a genius that only appears once every few hundred years. His talent is comparable to Gojo Satoru.

However, in comparison, if Pochi can fall into a negative state anytime and anywhere, and can create a cursed spirit every time she falls into a negative state, then in terms of endurance, she might really be comparable to Otsukuyata.

"Qiang——!"

At that moment, the guitar music on stage suddenly changed, and the clear, resounding notes were like crashing waves.

For some reason, Goto Ichiri suddenly perked up, all her negative emotions vanished, and she became as spirited as a fighting rooster.

The cursed spirit that was about to be conceived within her vanished in the blink of an eye.

Kiyotaka Ichi nodded in agreement.

Emotions change so rapidly; if one could learn to control them, one would surely be a master of enhancement techniques!

The guitar music on stage was becoming increasingly captivating.

These two chapters were really hard to write. I know almost nothing about bands, so please bear with any mistakes.

Chapter 353 (81k)

In the afternoon, the wind continued to howl like a tornado over the sea, and the torrential rain falling from the dark clouds above seemed poised to last all day.

The storm raged on relentlessly.

Roy got up and led Ms. Okita out of the store.

Upon seeing this, Kiyotaka Ichiji instinctively got up, intending to see the two of them off.

"Mr. Roy, please wait a moment!"

At that moment, Kita Ikuyomi Roy, who had just stepped off the stage, was about to leave, so he quickly chased after her from backstage.

Roy turned his head.

"what happened?"

"Actually, there's something I'd like to ask Mr. Roy..."

Kita Ikuyo approached Roy, deliberately avoiding the crowd, and quietly whispered in Roy's ear, revealing all her worries about Pochi-chan.

Fortunately, the next band had already come on stage, and the loud instrumental music drowned out all other sounds.

"I see, you noticed it too."

Roy nodded knowingly and smiled.

"Don't worry, even among cursed spirits, there are different types. Besides ordinary cursed spirits, there are also imaginary cursed spirits, spirit cursed spirits, and cursed spirits, etc. In Pochi-chan's case, even if she creates a cursed spirit, it will be similar to a cursed spirit."

"Isn't that even worse?!"

Kita Ikuyo exclaimed in surprise, "This way of addressing me is terrible!"

"No, that's not it. A cursed spirit is a cursed spirit born from intense resentment and boundless curse power. It belongs to only one person. Because it is born from only one person, it is also limited by that person's curse power and will become something similar to a shikigami."

Normal cursed spirits are born from a large number of humans. Once such cursed spirits awaken their own consciousness, they are almost impossible to control unless they are subdued. However, cursed vengeful spirits are born from an individual simply because their curse power and resentment are too strong.

The most famous example is the cursed queen, Rika Kimoto, who was born from the infinite curse power and immense resentment of Yuta Otsuku.

Rika Kimoto was originally Yuta Otsukoshi's childhood friend. The two were inseparable and had a deep affection for each other. However, one day Rika Kimoto died in an accident. Yuta Otsukoshi could not accept this fact. Under intense grief and fear, he unconsciously used his enormous curse power to bind Rika Kimoto's soul, causing her to be born as a special-grade cursed vengeful spirit.

This type of cursed spirit is basically deeply bound to its creator; as long as the creator lives, this cursed spirit will not escape control.

However, there is a prerequisite.

"It would be best if Pochi-chan learned how to control her cursed spirit. While this kind of cursed spirit won't harm its master, it's hard to say about others. If an outsider causes Pochi-chan to fall into negative emotions, the cursed spirit might attack that outsider in order to protect its master..."

Roy rubbed his chin. This was quite dangerous, especially for the few members of the Lone Rock group.

Oh, Kita-chan and Nijika's mom are both positive emotion generators, they definitely won't bully Pochi-chan.

But it's hard to say about Yamada Ryo.

Strange.

Given Bochi's drastic emotional fluctuations, has she never created any cursed spirits before? Where did all those cursed spirits born from negative emotions go?

Has it never been successfully manufactured before? Have it always failed when it was only partially completed?

It shouldn't be.
