Why is my anime art style so weird?

'Honestly, you're bothering me again!'

Erina, with her blonde hair, immediately began to complain in her mind.

However, she seemed to know the priorities and, without the slightest hesitation, directly condensed nearly twenty fireballs and threw them at Kaguya Shinomiya.

Kaguya Shinomiya was caught off guard by this move; she hurriedly dodged as the fireball flew close to her.

Erina's fireball barrage, though lacking in accuracy, was still plentiful. One fireball grazed her side, instantly burning a large hole in her evening gown.

Kaguya Shinomiya's face instantly darkened.

'Erina! Well done! Keep going! Shoot her dead!'

Xu Ming excitedly shouted in his mind.

"Of course, you don't need to tell me!"

Erina tossed her long, golden hair and once again conjured a large number of fireballs, which she shot towards Kaguya Shinomiya.

Xu Ming was not idle either, swinging the crowbar with great force.

Caught between the two, Kaguya Shinomiya dodged left and right, looking somewhat disheveled. She glanced at Erina below, her gaze sliding over Erina's high breasts, a hint of annoyance and jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she began to wind up the music box with force.

The music from the music box suddenly became rapid, and the pitch became somewhat distorted.

Upon close inspection, one can even see fine cracks appearing on the music box, which gradually widen as the music continues to play.

However, at the same time, the amount of black mist emitted from the music box increased dramatically.

Some of the black mist scattered onto the ground and converged towards the stone giant, further accelerating the stone giant's recovery speed.

Another part of it actually enveloped Kaguya Shinomiya's body, protecting her firmly.

Fireballs and crowbars struck it, causing the shield to fluctuate violently, but it ultimately withstood the impact.

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya's move, Xu Ming was speechless.

He was truly at his wit's end.

He could only futilely swing the crowbar in his hand, watching helplessly as the stone giant slowly returned to its original state...

Just then, a figure suddenly jumped out from the ruins of the mansion.

It was Shirogane Miyuki who had been hiding in the corner all along!?

He seemed to have made an accurate calculation, and just in time, he caught Kaguya Shinomiya as she flew over the ruins.

Xu Ming's eyes widened in shock at the sight.

Shirogane Miyuki took off from the second floor of the mansion ruins.

The height isn't a problem. If the man in the Western-style building were still in the normal world, as long as he didn't land headfirst, even if he made a mistake, he would only break his leg.

But this is an alternate dimension that has already been eroded. Outside the mansion, including underground, is nothingness. Heaven knows what would happen if I jumped down.

This guy actually jumped without hesitation.

This was the first time Xu Ming had ever seen someone so brave for love.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who was being hugged, was completely dumbfounded.

"You bastard! Let go right now! Or I'll kill you!!"

Despite her outbursts, Kaguya Shinomiya's icy demeanor crumbled instantly, a suspicious blush spreading across her cheeks. Her eyes darted around, and she looked away, clearly unable to meet his gaze.

"I won't let go! I finally managed to catch Kaguya, I'll never let go again!"

In a moment of desperation, Shirogane Miyuki shouted excitedly.

"Huh!?"

For a sheltered young lady like Kaguya Shinomiya, this was undoubtedly a subtle yet deeply affectionate confession.

It works better than any cheesy pickup line.

Kaguya Shinomiya's face instantly turned even redder, transforming her from an ice sculpture beauty into a silly, goofy beauty.

Just as the two were arguing (and arguing), the stone giant's recovery abruptly stopped due to a lack of support.

Xu Ming keenly realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived!

He telepathically instructed Erina to stop her attack, while simultaneously telling Haruyuki Arita to slowly approach without alerting her.

Once they reached the right distance, Xu Ming immediately raised the crowbar and launched a sudden attack.

This time, his target was none other than the music box in Kaguya's hands.

Bah!

Caught completely off guard, Kaguya Shinomiya struck the music box lid with the first blow.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who was arguing with Miyuki Shirogane, paused for a moment.

Xu Ming seized the opportunity and knocked twice more hard.

At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya's intelligence finally kicked in.

She began to swing her arms, trying to dodge Xu Ming's attack.

But she's not alone anymore; she has a 'useless teammate' by her side.

Shirogane Miyuki also knew that there was something wrong with the music box, and he immediately took action to provide Xu Ming with the greatest possible support.

He began to hold Kaguya Shinomiya's delicate body tightly, preventing her from moving.

"Let me go!"

Kaguya Shinomiya's head is so big you could use it to boil water.

"Absolutely not!"

Shirogane Miyuki shouted.

The fact that she tortured and killed Taisho Gongping shows that Kaguya Shinomiya's power was already beyond human levels.

But the more she was held and embraced by Shirogane Miyuki, the less she dared to move, for fear of hurting him.

Hesitant to act for fear of inadvertently, Xu Ming waited until she broke free from Shirogane Miyuki's embrace before striking the music box three times in quick succession.

Ten seconds have passed.

Bah!

With a crisp sound, the exquisite music box exploded instantly.

Chapter 183 'Special Attack on Kaguya': A Tool

With the music box destroyed, the stone giant, having completely lost its power source, collapsed with a crash.

At the same time, the entire space began to shake violently as if an earthquake had struck.

Damn it! You bastards!

Kaguya Shinomiya immediately looked annoyed and bitter.

Ignoring the fact that she might hurt Shirogane Miyuki, she broke free from his restraints and threw him away.

However, Xu Ming noticed that she was particularly careful when throwing it, directly tossing the Silver Imperial Journey onto a fairly intact goose down bed.

'Tsk, those two scoundrels…'

Xu Ming couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart.

After throwing Shirogane Miyuki away, Shinomiya Kaguya glared fiercely at Xu Ming, then glanced at Shirogane Miyuki with a complicated expression.

Then she fell backward like a fallen angel, plunging into the darkness and disappearing from sight.

Kaguya!

Miyuki Shirogane immediately jumped out of bed and screamed at the direction where Kaguya Shinomiya had disappeared.

But there was no response.

Shirogane Miyuki, his face full of resentment, clenched his fists and pounded the bed beneath him.

Xu Ming sighed, walked over to him, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Miss Shinomiya must have been possessed by some kind of 'impurity.' Once we find her and purify her, she should be back to normal..."

Given that Shirogane Miyuki was just an ordinary person, Xu Ming's words were somewhat vague, and since he himself was only a novice, his words were not very certain either, so it was just meant to comfort the other party.

Although Xu Ming's words were unclear, Shirogane Miyuki immediately understood what he meant, and a spark of hope rekindled in his eyes.

"You're right! Kaguya is just being controlled! She's definitely waiting for me to rescue her!"

For Shirogane Miyuki now, even if it's just a straw, he will hold on to it tightly and never let go.

Moreover, judging from the various signs just now, what Xu Ming said is very likely.

"She was definitely being controlled by something."

A detached voice sounded from behind the two of them.

Xu Ming quickly turned around and saw that Miss Mako, who appeared out of nowhere, had suddenly reappeared and was staring at them intently.

Xu Ming could even vaguely sense a cold gaze from her long bangs.

At this moment, as if time had turned back, the mansion, which had been almost completely demolished, began to be restored to its original state, including the restoration of some of the smashed furniture and decorations.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man Nakagawa's unseeing corpse was still lying there, everything that had just happened would seem like an illusion.

Xu Ming looked out the window, where bright sunlight streamed in through the glass.

The otherworldly mansion is once again connected to reality.

Afterwards, the three of them walked out of the mansion.

Xu Ming briefly explained the general course of events to Shi Gong Yan'an.

"Master Shinomiya, the mansion has been cleaned up, but your daughter has escaped. We need to conduct a more detailed investigation to have any chance of finding her and bringing her back..."

"Thank you all for your hard work. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

As Shinomiya Gan'an spoke, he clapped his hands, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a secretary immediately picked up a tablet, operated it for a while, and then had Shinomiya Gan'an sign his name with an electronic pen.

Xu Ming was a little confused when his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.
