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

[The rivals smell so good! Hehehe...]

Is Banana trying to provoke us? Be careful, or the top leader might turn the tables and stir up trouble.

[How lewd! I don't even like watching these kinds of things... I just recorded them and watched them dozens of times.]

Nana Ohba, who witnessed the director flirting with the goddess using her body and identity, fell silent as she watched the cult-like pairings dancing wildly in the comments:

...Could it be that the director finds it exciting that she insists on using her own identity to get close to Ms. Kamina?

Could it be that I'm just a sex toy between these two...?

Nana Ohba started to feel that something was wrong.

130. The Director Returns to the Silver Garden

After easily provoking Saki Koizumi, Nana Oba heard footsteps coming from not far away.

Judging by the time, it was indeed time for those people following behind Koizumi Saki to arrive.

The original estimate was only five minutes.

Five minutes later, those tagalongs will arrive.

Saki Koizumi was dragging her weakened body here to buy time because she had companions behind her.

If she weren't on camera, she might actually have been caught.

However, she has perfect timing now, and she's using the Nana Ohba character card, plus she's already transferred her body back... there's no way she'll get caught.

【Oba Nana】Standed up calmly, completely unaware of the urgency that she only had less than half a minute left to evacuate.

She even took out some cookies she always carried with her from her pocket and placed them in front of Saki Koizumi.

The gloomy expression on her face instantly transformed into a bright and cheerful smile, a testament to her stage presence and ability to manage her expressions, making the change seamless.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

After all, he had perfectly saved the day, tasted Saki's flavor, and even saw Saki's mouthwatering expression... Kita Kirihara felt that his serious injury today was a complete gain.

Don't worry about the wound; the character cards in the Silver Garden will help treat it, leaving absolutely no trace.

As a result, she was in a better mood than ever before.

"This is really goodbye... Now, please move to the outside of the theater." [Oba Nana] said this, and in sync with her voice came the sounds of the [stage] moving.

The underground laboratory, which had already been explored before, was now emitting a rumbling, heart-pounding vibration due to the "Stage" domain created by Nana Oba.

The loud noise came straight down beneath their feet, and Koizumi Saki immediately saw countless [stage equipment] emerge from the cracked walls: gears, ropes, lifts, and shafts... countless parts began to operate according to [Oba Nana's] commands.

The underground laboratory setting was quickly transformed into a stage. Roses bloomed on damp, sticky moss, while cold, rusty instruments were concealed by layers of curtains. Stairs rose, lights shone brightly, and the terrain changed accordingly. The originally low dome grew taller, and the audience seating seemed to grow out of the ground.

As long as the audience wants to continue watching, the place where the stage girl stands is the stage.

And the stage came to life right in front of Saki Koizumi.

With the blessing of her special experiences, combined with Kita Kirihara's directorial power and the "fuel" provided by the audience, the character card of Nana Ohba is able to exert a power that is exactly the same as that of the giraffe.

On the stage, time and space are transcended, and even the laws of physics must operate in order to fulfill the theme of the performance.

In order to prevent the data from this underground laboratory from being leaked, [Oba Nana] decides to create a stage that belongs to this world in the underground of the National Hero High School.

This underground theater is not the Starlight Theater of the Saint-Germain Conservatory of Music, but a brand-new, unnamed theater.

Born from the school's unknown past, a new generation of heroes, completely unaware of what's to come, is about to emerge.

The fierce competition and relentless selection process... may unfold once again here.

Of course, this is just an idea that has not been fully developed, and the purpose of [Ooba Nana] setting up the [stage] here is simply to conceal the underground laboratory and prevent outsiders from intruding.

Indeed, for Nana Oba, this place has completely become her stage, her territory.

and so……

As Koizumi Saki watched the dramatic changes around her, she felt tense, but also sensed the sound of mechanisms turning beneath her feet.

She looked down and saw only—

—A void that appeared out of nowhere, connecting to a bottomless tunnel.

Pulled by gravity and unable to levitate because she couldn't use her powers yet, Koizumi Saki was still a bit dazed when she fell.

Although the tunnel seemed to have been padded with soft material for the safety of users, she slid all the way to the end of the tunnel without feeling any bumps or knocks. She almost fell onto the soft mat at the tunnel entrance in a daze.

When she got up, feeling dizzy and disoriented, she noticed that the cushion beneath her was a frog plush toy with a diameter of five meters.

Looking up, I found myself back at the entrance to the basement I had entered at the beginning. Just a few more steps and I would see the staff waiting outside.

Looking back, all I could see was the passageway leading to the basement rapidly closing.

She realized something, moved to the entrance and waited for a while. Sure enough, the others were also thrown off the stage.

After the underground laboratory was set up as a "stage" and closed to outsiders, no matter how much investigation was conducted, the specific entrance could not be found. The only way to enter the underground theater was through an invitation sent to a mobile phone... This conclusion was reached after further investigation.

Despite their strong desire to obtain information about the underground laboratory, the tower was helpless against the underground theater.

——————————————————————————————

Kita Kirihara relinquished control of his body to Ooba Nana, then awoke inside the Silver Garden, controlling his battered body.

The camera angle was also changed.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Nana Ohba, who had regained control of her body and was staring at her with a resentful look.

Thinking about what he had done, Kita Kirihara couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

It seems they did indeed do something rather excessive...

She tried to get out of bed, but still felt a sharp pain in her chest, and a sense of foreboding washed over her: "...Ouch, why..."

Why didn't you treat her? Why did you just leave her here?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard a cold laugh from Homura Akemi through the mental link.

The dissatisfaction conveyed by the other party, as well as the disapproval from other character cards regarding her actions of harming her own body, combined with a glance around, made Kita Kirihara immediately understand.

...What are these people protesting against?

She had initially intended to struggle to her feet, but now she changed her mind.

Kita Kirihara gasped and slumped back onto the bed, muttering, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

She did look like she was in a lot of pain; her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Even though they knew she wouldn't be seriously injured, many still looked over with concern and tenderness.

Then, in Kita Kirihara's vision, the illusory spirit of Yuuki Yuna, who was the first to be unable to hold back, appeared.

The petite, red-haired hero floated over, squatted down in front of her, and touched Kita Kirihara's head with his hands, which could not touch the physical body.

Yuki Yuna's body was still lying three meters away.

131. Homura Akemi: I'm familiar with reincarnation.

Kita Kirihara, having finally completed his treatment, stretched his shoulders and touched his intact chest, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Because time is actually tighter than we imagine.

There's still a lot of work to be done. It's not just about getting to the edge of the basement before Saki Koizumi wakes up and pretending to be unconscious, as if she was affected by the underground theater, but also about creating a lot of evidence to prove that she was there...

Although Saki will discover his true identity sooner or later, it's not going to happen now according to the script.

This was only the first encounter; I will need to communicate with Saki more from the perspective of another version of myself.

After the underground theater opened, the original underground laboratory was covered up, but the instruments were still transmitting information to the association. I need to find a suitable person to make contact with the current leader of the association.

There's no need to worry too much about the camera quality in the live stream for now, but I still need to plan the broadcast schedule for Symphogear and prepare and advance other origin stories.

Originally, the origin story was simply the world progressing at the default pace, but that would expose the flaws in the existence of the Silver Garden.

Therefore, after Kita Kirihara took over, he planned to develop the story from a perspective that was more favorable to his side.

But this meant that she not only had to be responsible for the daily directing work, but also had to prepare the script and text for the origin story, and even the storyboards and drawings had to be done in her mind.

This world is practically taking advantage of her.

However, it must be said that completing the origin story in one's mind actually reduces the workload significantly and increases efficiency considerably.

If someone else were hired to draw it, it would never be as efficient as Kita Kirihara, who could directly export the memories and then process them.

Moreover, some scenes are beyond the limits of human imagination. Only someone like her, who has actually "seen" them, can describe even one percent of the original scene.

In addition to the origin story, there are also forum and official website information releases that need to be handled.

More importantly, I need to hurry back to take care of Saki...

Kita Kirihara thought to himself that he wanted to leave the Silver Garden immediately and teleport himself to the location of the National Hero Academy.

Since they were inside the Silver Garden, a rare opportunity to communicate face-to-face with her character card, she spoke directly instead of issuing commands through the mental link: "Banana, could you please go back to the underground theater later? The equipment there can connect to the Association, and we need to have some appropriate communication with the current leaders of the Association..."

Nana Ohba hesitated for a moment, but then nodded in agreement.

She knew her advice wouldn't make a difference in Kita Kirihara's mind.

That's actually the case. Kita Kirihara was able to control the thoughts and bodies of all the character cards, but he wasn't using that authority right now.

For Kita Kirihara, the character cards could be considered as friends who accompanied her on her long journey, but if you had to say, they were more like dolls who accompanied her in playing house.

From this perspective, Kita Kirihara, who collected all the character cards during the mission and even had a residence like the Silver Garden... might actually be a child who likes to play with dolls.

Nana Oba didn't voice her thoughts. She knew Kita Kirihara had clearly received her ideas, but she remained unmoved.

The director is the most stubborn person I've ever met, and also the one who likes to take on everything herself.

However, Yuna Yuki was a step ahead of Nana Oba; her ideas were more pure and direct.

The red-haired hero in spirit form floated in front of Kita Kirihara, somewhat disapprovingly trying to block his path. She said with a displeased expression, "Kita Kirihara-san should rest now."

With so much to do every day, it's a rare treat to come back here, so I should at least chat with everyone before I leave.

That's exactly what Yuuki Yuna thought.

In the world of Yuuki Yuna's quest, when Kita Kirihara descended, Yuuki Yuna had already transformed into this form due to her full bloom. She could only drift in this form each day.

Kita Kirihara spent most of her time chatting with Yuuki Yuna, since as Yuuki Yuna's inner demon, if Yuuki Yuna couldn't get out, neither could she.
