Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

In the afternoon, sunlight filters through the gaps in the roadside trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The air was filled with the warmth of summer, and the chirping of cicadas drifted intermittently from the distant park.

Amamiya Rin stood under the street sign at the crossroads, dressed in simple dark casual clothes, her figure upright.

The sunlight outlined the lines of his shoulders and back, attracting several female high school students passing by to turn around frequently and whisper among themselves.

Tomie Kawakami stood beside him, her arm linked with his, her head tilted slightly back, gazing listlessly at the electronic GG sign in the shopping mall across the street.

"So, why did you accept that pointless invitation?"

Tomie Kawakami turned her head away, her tone full of reluctance.

"Isn't it all because of you?"

Amamiya Rin rolled her eyes.

"If you hadn't been causing trouble everywhere, would I have had to clean up your messes one by one?"

Perhaps Tomie Kawakami has forgotten, but his little notebook clearly records the hidden dangers caused by Tomie Kawakami's charm.

Just yesterday, Makoto Hiratsuka made three phone calls. Because she was busy with other things, Rin Amamiya didn't answer until this morning when she saw the text message.

[Amamiya-kun, the Babylus Grand Circus is having a performance in Tokyo tomorrow. I managed to get a few front-row tickets. You and Tomie-san absolutely have to come! — Makoto Hiratsuka]

Who is Makoto Hiratsuka?

Amamiya Rin thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She opened her notebook and looked at it before it dawned on her.

The protagonist's boyfriend in "The Long Hair in the Attic" is also a victim of Tomie Kawakami. He was worried that her persistent entanglement with Tomie Kawakami would cause trouble, so he accepted Makoto Hiratsuka's invitation and had a heart-to-heart talk with the protagonist, Qing Amano, in an attempt to unravel the plot of "The Long Hair in the Attic".

However, there were just too many things to do in the past few days.

The wedding of the Toki family, Kayako's curse, the awakening of the water dragon, the struggle with the government... one thing after another, crashing over them like waves. Even with new power, he couldn't attend to the matters of Hiratsuka Makoto and Amano Qing.

I happen to have some free time today. The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and there's nothing urgent to deal with. I can finally settle everything and put an end to this dragging-on mess.

What does it mean to "go around causing trouble"?

Tomie Kawakami wrinkled her nose and retorted with dissatisfaction.

"I didn't do anything, he came to me himself. You're the only one in my heart~"

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Yu Gonglin's arm, almost pressing her entire body against him, and looked up at him, her deliberately drawn-out voice as sweet as honey.

"Yes, yes, you didn't do anything."

Yu Gonglin gave a perfunctory reply.

Just then, a car drove up from the street corner and stopped on the side of the road.

Makoto Hiratsuka climbed out of the car. He was wearing a striped shirt, his hair was neatly combed, and he had a fawning smile on his face.

After getting off the bus, he immediately spotted Tomie Kawakami and jogged over to her.

"Amamiya-kun! Tomie-san! Have you been waiting long? Sorry, sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way."

His gaze was fixed on Tomie Kawakami's face, unable to look away.

Amano Qing also got out of the car.

Compared to when they last parted, she looked much better. Her eyes were clear and bright, carrying a sense of calm and composure, completely devoid of the melancholy she had felt after breaking up with Makoto Hiratsuka.

Her long hair still reached her waist, jet black and smooth, gleaming with a warm sheen in the afternoon sunlight.

But the feeling that long hair gave was completely different from before, as if it had a kind of lively vitality.

"Amamiya-kun, it's been a long time."

She walked to the side and nodded to Yu Gonglin, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Amamiya Rin nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Amano Qing's waist-length hair.

Deep within the pupils, a barely perceptible golden light silently shone forth.

In this field of vision, Amano Qing's hair also lit up.

Each strand of hair radiates a faint glow, not a cold, murky, evil light, but a warm, clear, spiritual light, like the shimmering ripples of melting snow in early spring under the sunlight.

Amamiya Rin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Very good. It has spirituality, but no resentment, no curses, and no twisted obsessions.

Amano Qing's hair has transformed from a curse into something akin to a blessing.

Although the Kusanagi Sword can sever spirituality, there is absolutely no need to take action.

"Is your hair... alright?"

Amano Qing noticed Amamiya Rin's gaze, and subconsciously raised her hand to smooth her hair, her fingertips gently gliding through the strands.

"Very beautiful hair."

Amamiya Rin withdrew her gaze, her tone calm.

"You're even more beautiful than the last time I saw you."

"Yeah?"

Amano Qing's smile deepened, her joy evident in her heart.

"I also feel that my hair seems shinier lately, maybe it's because I'm in a better mood."

When Amano Qing said this, her eyes held a gentle light.

"Just like you said, personal growth is about constantly overcoming one's past weaknesses, and I have successfully overcome this trial from the past."

"Congratulations! Let's celebrate today!"

Amamiya Rin smiled slightly and sincerely offered her blessings to Amano Qing.

Amano Qing's eyes curved into crescent moons, and a faint blush spread across her cheeks.

"Being told that makes me feel like I've really done something amazing."

Her gaze shifted to the green belt beside her, a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"Because it is truly remarkable."

Amamiya Rin gazed at Amano Qing and spoke gently.

"Not everyone has the courage to face their past. If you can, it means you are much stronger than you think."

"Amamiya-kun, I feel embarrassed when you praise me like that."

Amano Qing blinked, her blush deepening.

Hiratsuka Makoto stood aside, completely ignoring Amamiya Rin's presence, and was fawning over Kawakami Tomie.

"Ms. Tomie, I specially asked someone to buy me front-row tickets. The seats are excellent. I also booked a Michelin three-star restaurant nearby. I hope you can join me after the performance..."

He spoke at length, his eyes burning with an intense intensity.

"Ahhh~"

Tomie Kawakami yawned widely, and even managed to squeeze out a few tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I'm talking about you."

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of listless weariness.

"Shut up and go away, I'll be happier."

Makoto Hiratsuka's smile froze on his face.

The eagerness and enthusiasm on that face seemed to have been paused, frozen in a neutral arc.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on his face, making his features appear somewhat distorted by the interplay of light and shadow.

It's okay, it's okay.

Makoto Hiratsuka said to himself.

Women, you know, always have to maintain a certain air. He's seen plenty of women, and he knows the art of playing hard to get better than anyone.

Just a little more persistence, just a little more to show her your sincerity...

He took a deep breath, put on a fawning smile again, and was about to speak when he finally noticed the cheerful laughter of Amamiya Rin and Amano Qing.
