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

In the instant that her eyes met Tachibana Hibiki's, Asagami Shinku saw only a deep, deathly despair.

At the same time, the sense of crisis that almost put them on the brink of life and death belatedly surged up.

Asagami Shinku's tail, hidden at her waist by her thick clothes, was almost standing on end, while her ears, pressed into her hat, drooped down uncomfortably.

She instinctively took a step back.

What kind of emotion was it...?

It is something that Asagami Shinku, with her limited experience, cannot fully comprehend; it contains a despair that can utterly crush a person into the weight of mud.

and also……

"Tachibana, are you crying?" Asagami Shinku blurted out these words unconsciously.

There were no tears in those eyes—perhaps the heat had evaporated them—yet one could still feel sadness.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

The other person's soul is crying.

P.S.: One more chapter, will update later.

114. Little Hinata Mirai 1k

Because Hibiki Tachibana's body temperature was too high, Asagami Shinku tried to touch her with her hands and ended up getting burned. However, she managed to find some water and used physical means to cool Hibiki down.

She noticed that the trash can next to Hibiki Tachibana was starting to melt, and she was secretly alarmed by the high temperature.

When they met last time, Hibiki Tachibana did not exhibit any such unusual behavior.

This clearly abnormal state made it impossible for Asagami Shinku to abandon the other party.

What if I die?

She tried to move Tachibana Hibiki, but after she went to get water, Tachibana Hibiki fell into a semi-conscious state, hanging her head and not moving, and was not cooperating.

Moreover, even the slightest movement caused Tachibana Hibiki's wounds to bleed profusely, and it was unclear how many bones were broken, which made Asagami Shinku even more hesitant to move.

You should call emergency services at this time...

Just as Asagami Makoto took out her phone to call an ambulance, she suddenly heard undisguised footsteps coming from the other end of the alley.

In her haste, Asagami Shinku accidentally loosened her hat, and now, with her ears perked up, she pushed the hat back up.

It looked rather comical, but she genuinely sensed something was amiss.

She swallowed instinctively, staring warily at the other side of the alley.

She could tell that the newcomer was not particularly large; in fact, she should say petite.

Judging from the light footsteps and the sound of their landing, the person must be young, petite, and light-weight.

Asagami Shinku smelled a simple fragrance in the air.

It wasn't a strange smell, but rather the most common scent of clothing fragrance.

During the time she was away from home, she came into contact with all sorts of people, so she was able to easily recognize this smell...

...It should smell like a young girl?

It has a slight human female body odor, but it's not smelly. It smells like it has just finished some light exercise and is slightly sweaty.

His breathing was slightly heavy, but he subconsciously lightened his approaching footsteps.

—The pursuit.

Almost instinctively, Asagami Shinku guessed the other party's purpose.

An alarm bell rang in her mind immediately, and she instinctively became alert, the dark purple current in her hand crackling as she held her breath.

Since Hibiki Tachibana cannot be moved, she must now find a way to protect her seriously injured friend.

Although she no longer aspires to be a hero, Asagami Shinku believes she can still do something for her friends.

She watched the alleyway entrance warily, in the direction from which the pursuing enemies were attacking.

Unexpectedly, the one who calmly emerged from the shadows was a seemingly weak and harmless black-haired girl.

The other person wore an ordinary middle school uniform, with smooth, shoulder-length black hair cascading down, adorned only with a purple ribbon at the back of their head. Their pale green eyes were empty, yet their expression was filled with a chilling tenderness. Since their appearance, their gaze had been fixed on the heavily injured Tachibana Hibiki's face, and the affection and love they felt were undeniable.

If the other person turns around, Asagami Shinku might be able to see the strange device placed on the back of their head.

However, she simply smiled gently and, amidst the stunned silence of the viewers, uttered her first line:

"Could you please return my jingle to me?"

【What?! Future wife, why have you turned evil?! No way!!!】

PS: I've added 1,000 words to the previous chapter.

I spent the whole afternoon contemplating life, and I have this feeling that my future is going to be bleak...

How could this be...?

115. You're just being soft-hearted, Miss Director.

Viewers already know about the close relationship between Kohinata Mirai and Tachibana Hibiki from the origin story of Symphogear.

Since Hibiki Tachibana in this timeline seems somewhat lonely, and considering Nana Ohba's previous story, viewers generally assume that Hibiki was taken away from her original world by Homura Akemi when she was about to die at the end of the story.

Meanwhile, Kohinata Mirai stands alone at Tachibana Hibiki's grave.

But looking at it this way... it seems there's still a chance for the story to take a turn for the better.

But what attracts the audience is another part.

Why is this domestic violence scene still being broadcast? Where are the platform's bottom lines? Where are their principles? Where is their dignity? Where is the uncut version? What about the pre-sale channels? Hurry up and release it!

[The two supreme warriors fought their way to a love hotel, wearing out the bed sheets.]

[These two are playing a bit weird, but I like it, woohoo!]

Realistically speaking, I wouldn't recommend that Hibiki do any strenuous exercise given his physical condition.

[Should we follow our instincts?]

Yes, I want to see rivers of blood. Please, please give me more... Waaah... I can't hold back anymore!

[Friend, stop smelling like that! # (sweat)]

[Hibiki tried his best to escape, but his future wife is chasing after him. Where is Shinku? #Check Shinku Asagami's status]

[The world-famous painting "Asagami Shinku, Tachibana Hibiki, and Kohinata Mirai" depicts Tachibana Hibiki and Kohinata Mirai playing sumo wrestling on a bed.]

What about real red?

[True Red Outside the Window]

[Even if you weren't outside the door, thank you so much!]

The barrage of comments immediately erupted into a sea of ​​laughter, with a mix of normal comments amidst a plethora of bizarre remarks, scrolling wildly across the screen.

Kita Kirihara was observing the comments at that moment, and seeing this, he couldn't help but miss the viewers from the beginning.

Shouldn't things have been more normal back then...?

Previous audience: Analysis blah blah blah... provides a lot of useful information.

Current audience: I want to see girls in bed, sob sob (losing their minds).

Kita Kirihara couldn't help but start to wonder if the problem lay with himself or with the audience.

Kohinata Mirai's emergence is thanks to the audience's enthusiasm for her.

Similar to how Aijo Karen was awakened, when the origin story of Tachibana Hibiki was one-sixth complete, the audience also became quite interested in this character who had a close relationship with Tachibana Hibiki and held a special place in her heart.

However, according to Kita Kirihara's original idea, Kohinata Mirai should not have appeared in the Silver Garden.

On one hand, the appearance of the other party would increase the risk of Tachibana Hibiki losing control; on the other hand, Kohinata Mirai's existence was never that stable to begin with.

Her mind is severely distorted. In her current state, seeing Hibiki Tachibana will exacerbate her mania and trigger aggressive urges.

In other words, the compatibility between Kohinata Mirai and Tachibana Hibiki is not actually that good; in fact, it can be said to be extremely poor.

There are many character cards in the Silver Garden that should have a good relationship, but for various reasons they cannot be paired together. Once they are together, they will produce a violent chemical reaction. Although Kita Kirihara can control it, he does not want to increase his workload and suffering.

Character cards themselves can also wear out.

Compared to the intense reactions of Hibiki Tachibana and Mirai Kohinata, the pairing of Fate and Nanoha Takamachi is actually more inclined towards inertia.

Putting aside the fact that they are not character cards from the same world, in terms of experience and age, Fate and Nanoha have become more mature and reliable over time, and they rarely act impulsively.

After all, both of them have been in positions of mentoring others, and it must be said that they belong to the category of relatively reliable adults.

That's why Kita Kirihara felt relatively comfortable letting the two of them stay together.

But Kohinata Mirai and Tachibana Hibiki are completely different.

Because these two characters are from the same world, and they have gaps in their memories, are not mentally stable, and are also very young.

If they meet, it could very well lead to the cards being torn apart.

Therefore, when Tachibana Hibiki accidentally learned that Kita Kirihara had been holding back the character card for Kohinata Mirai and hadn't activated it, and then went to confront the director, Kita Kirihara had no choice but to patiently explain the reason to Tachibana Hibiki.

However, if explanations could resolve the obsession with inner demons, then even Kita Kirihara wouldn't have been able to accept Hibiki Tachibana's character card.

Unsurprisingly, Tachibana Hibiki displayed extreme anger and instability.

Although this was most likely a result of negative emotions catalyzed by the fusion syndrome, Kita Kirihara also seemed somewhat helpless.

She took advantage of the scene and the circumstances to continue the drama and preserve the rare footage.

“…Don’t be so aggressive, Hibiki.” Kita Kirihara simply said, trying to soften his tone as much as possible, “Even if I told you you would die from this brief meeting, would you still insist on seeing her?”

She didn't need Tachibana Hibiki to answer; she already knew the answer from the other person's heart.

Hibiki Tachibana just bit her lower lip, her gaze fixed on Kita Kirihara with stubbornness.

Hibiki Tachibana was naturally willing.

So Kita Kirihara agreed to her request.

Kohinata Mirai's character card was only awakened the day before school started, and less than thirty minutes later, Tachibana Hibiki was lying on the roadside in such a disheveled state, in a predicament.
