The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

Shiori Hachiya couldn't stop in time, her foot slipped, and she lost her balance—

—His face landed on Nana Oba's chest.

Karen Aijo followed behind with great interest, and as soon as the door opened, she greeted Shiori Hachiya: "Good afternoon, Shiori-chan! We've come... eh?"

Seeing the two's perplexing posture, she couldn't help but utter a question.

Shiori Hachiya awkwardly raised her face and took two steps back.

She discovered something even more suffocating—

—A face made of cosmetics appeared on Nana Oba's down jacket.

PS: Ms. Hachiya has officially evolved into a comedian (what?).

Two more chapters, will be updated later, around midnight.

92. When will Jun Furuhashi be buried?

Shiori Hachiya felt like she was suffocating.

She hurriedly tried to remove the makeup residue from Nana Oba's body, but then suddenly realized that she hadn't brought makeup remover with her, so she chuckled awkwardly, "...banana, Karen-chan, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Nana Oba was wearing a light-colored down jacket, which made her foundation look particularly noticeable on it. You could also see the lipstick mark on her lipstick, which showed her startled expression.

...No, the more I look at this face, the funnier it becomes.

Shiori Hachiya couldn't help but laugh.

Nana Oba was both amused and exasperated.

Edmonton Hualian was also trying not to laugh.

I decided to go inside Shiori Hachiya's house for a while.

Shiori Hachiya is someone who places great importance on the quality of her life and sleep.

The pile of dolls on her bed, the aromatherapy in her home, the incredibly soft pillows and adorable cushions, the several steam eye masks on her bedside table, the home projector and stereo, the bed with a built-in massage function, the humidifier... all show her requirements for a refined sleep.

As a former idol, Shiori Hachiya's wardrobe is half full of various pajamas, including some custom-made pajamas that are quite expensive.

Edmonton's Chinese-American romance was an eye-opener.

"Wow wow wow..." She opened her mouth wide, marveling at the slightly exaggerated parts of Shiori Hachiya's home, and even more surprised by the bookshelves that this retired idol had specially built for an entire wall.

The table was covered with CDs; upon closer inspection, apart from some movie discs, they were all music albums.

There were many actor posters on the wall, but upon closer inspection, there wasn't a single one of Shiori Hachiya's own.

When asked why, she said it was because she felt that "if I see my overly photoshopped face every day, I'll probably lose my correct self-awareness."

To put it bluntly, it's because I'm afraid that one day someone will come to visit me and I'll feel ashamed.

Take now, for example.

Shiori Hachiya also turned her home study into a small practice room, furnished with an electronic keyboard and other musical instruments, serving as her workspace. However, it's now covered in dust and hasn't been used for a while.

This was the first time Nana Oba and Karen Aijo had visited Shiori Hachiya's house; they had learned the address from Jun Furuhashi. They had indeed disturbed her work the previous night, and they had planned to bring gifts to apologize properly.

However, more importantly, there is something I plan to discuss with the other party.

"...The funeral of Furuhashi?" Upon hearing Nana Ohba's question, Shiori Hachiya immediately became alert. She cautiously asked in return, "Why are you asking this?"

Even though they are friends, and quite good friends at that, Shiori Hachiya would never reveal important information just because of that relationship.

Jun Furuhashi's funeral is tentatively scheduled for three days later.

Chiho Kobayashi is still missing, and there is still no trace of her.

Why would Nana Oba and Karen Aijo ask me this question?

She immediately became alert, looking around, and realized that there didn't seem to be any quick escape route in her house.

Oh, right, I was the one who invited these two people into my home.

...That's all.

I definitely can't beat him.

They might be pierced by the Tokyo Tower falling from the sky the next second while they're trying to escape.

For some reason, this thought flashed through my mind.

Despite being quite nervous, Shiori Hachiya also noticed that the way these two were questioning her was so frank that they didn't seem like they were there to arrest her and interrogate her for information.

Her question did not displease Nana Oba and Karen Aijo; the two couldn't help but exchange a glance.

[lol, Bee Valley probably doesn't know that Future Vision and the Beastmaster are both in the Silver Garden, does she?]

[The Beast Tamer's state likely means she no longer dreams, and she seems to have lost all connection to humanity. But wasn't Future Vision asleep yesterday? Why didn't the Dream Weaver notice her?]

I think it's mostly because she was expelled from Tachibana Hibiki's memories before she even got close to the dream world of future vision...

It's not impossible.

[Honeycomb Valley... seems like a complete scumbag.]

[My heart aches for the baby bee]

[Putting everything else aside, to the friend who called you "Bee Baby" earlier, I remember you were laughing the most last night when Bee Valley was being chased and revueed by two people.]

What kind of hater leader?

[What do you know? Isn't it entertaining to see BeeBee get its comeuppance? I love watching idiots get their comeuppance!]

[Outrageous, but hard not to agree with]

[More persecution, everyone loves to watch]

The comments section erupted in laughter.

Shiori Hachiya's unlucky and eccentric personality has become her trademark.

Moreover, the fact that they always seem to make a mistake makes them easy targets for exploitation.

Let's do the math: the first time he entered Nana Oba's dream, he was beaten up and left looking disheveled; the second time, he gave Nana Oba a beautiful dream, but then stepped on her landmines; the third time, he randomly entered Hibiki Tachibana's memories in the dream world at high speed, and was subsequently retaliated against by Karen Aijo and Nana Oba.

Putting everything else aside, her ability to precisely avoid pitfalls is enough to make the audience look forward to her appearance.

Let's see what other creative tricks Shiori Hachiya can pull off.

Shiori Hachiya, who was being mercilessly mocked by the audience, couldn't help but sneeze.

Strange... do I have a cold?

“Actually, it’s like this…” Nana Oba glanced at Shiori Hachiya and then began to explain seriously.

The matter is very simple. After waking up today, Kobayashi Chiho started planning to go back to the Tower of Civilization.

Jun Furuhashi naturally had no objections. Although she quite liked the atmosphere of the Silver Garden, she still realized that there were places that needed her more and were waiting for her to return.

She also wanted to let the headmistress know she was safe.

I haven't sent a message back in so long, I wonder if the director is worried.

However, before going back, Chiho Kobayashi still had some things to take care of.

The reason for wanting to know the date and location of Jun Furuhashi's funeral and to contact Shiori Hachiya was also to determine the next steps.

Despite being somewhat dim-witted, Shiori Hachiya still doesn't easily trust others when faced with such important matters.

Upon hearing the news that Kobayashi Chiho and Furuhashi Jun were still alive, she immediately became serious: "Shouldn't Ms. Mirai be contacting her own older sister instead of me?"

Of the few remaining Special Class members in the Tower, Shiori Hachiya has had the least contact with the people inside. Her lifestyle is on a different time zone than the others, and her personality is also quite unconventional.

As for helping... she had no idea how she could be of any help.

“That’s the problem.” Nana Ohba smiled, but looked slightly troubled. “The less contact we have with those inside the tower, the better… to avoid leaks.”

----------------

On the other hand, Kita Kirihara withdrew his attention.

Since we've already reached this point, there shouldn't be any problems.

Kobayashi Ryo wasn't really suited to stand in that position.

She lacks the ability to judge people, and compared to the current leaders of the association, she is far too short-sighted.

Not to mention, Kobayashi Ryo also has an excessive admiration for Koizumi Saki...

Kita Kirihara's gaze darkened slightly.

This kind of person is only suitable to be a financial backer, but not to be the person behind the scenes in a high tower.

To be honest, compared to this older sister, Chiho Kobayashi, who possesses almost cheat-like future vision, is actually more suitable.

Based on the other party's recent movements, Kita Kirihara could actually see it.

This Miss Future Vision seems to have her own ideas.

93. Symphogear and the Silver Garden Observation Diary

To be honest, WP has been making quite a lot of noise lately.

It seems that the official team's competitive spirit has been aroused by the recent enthusiasm of viewers who have become fans of the genre.

The Valentine's Day special program "Stage and Dream Journey," featuring Shiori Hachiya, Nana Oba, and Karen Aijo, wasn't enough.

That evening, before the five-hour live stream had even ended, the official announcement also came that they would be producing a story based on Tachibana's voice, "Symphogear," and launching a mini-column, "Hanamune's Manuscript Box."

Like the origin story of Nana Ohba and Karen Aijo, Revue Starlight, Symphogear also adopts a manga format.

After all, the production time for anime series is too long, and considering that we haven't been able to capture enough information about Hibiki Tachibana's battle songs yet, as well as obstacles such as voice acting, we have to put it on hold for the time being.

If we really want to produce an animation, it won't be finished until at least next year. That means there's not enough time.

However, if the comics and other derivative works become popular enough, the official team will consider producing an anime.

Of course, this was not included in this announcement.

The higher the audience's enthusiasm, the more likely related works will be released. After all, who would complain about not having enough buzz?

Especially now, in a world that desperately needs more fuel to keep running.
