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

Will die, will die, will die, will die, will die——

"Boom."

With just one powerful blow, the force of the punch pierced through the gray camel's body and poured outwards—

A sudden gust of wind arose, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

A huge void.

Hibiki Tachibana's fist pierced through the massive body of the gray camel without mercy. After a brief pause, the gray fluid flowed weakly, like ordinary viscous mucus, without any power to repair itself.

In fact, even if one loses their human form, when subjected to such a blow that exceeds the limits of the body, consciousness will still be temporarily severed.

That is, fainting.

Hibiki Tachibana had no interest in dealing with the uninvited guest who had made such a mess of the house. Since she'd already killed him, there shouldn't be any... problems...

As she thought this, her body couldn't support her even before her consciousness could. The Symphogear on her body turned into particles of light and quickly disintegrated. However, her legs gave way, and she almost knelt down.

Hibiki Tachibana remained calm and didn't seem flustered.

But she does look unwell right now.

His chest, arms, and thighs were pierced by sharp golden crystals. These crystals, which grew from his body, radiated heat mercilessly, and the flesh and blood at the wounds smelled strongly of burning.

The air around her distorted, and her clothes burst into flames.

Hibiki Tachibana remained silent, enduring the excruciating pain that felt like an explosion, gritting her teeth as if she felt no pain, and forcefully broke off the foreign growths growing on her body.

She grabbed the one on her shoulder, bit her lower lip, took a slight breath, and then forcefully pulled it down.

The crystal broke instantly, a sound that made one's teeth ache.

It looked like she was breaking her own bones, but she only paled slightly and let out a faint cry of pain from her throat.

I'm used to it now.

Finally, after throwing the crystal, which still had some of her charred flesh and blood on it, on the ground, Hibiki Tachibana was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. She released her breath slightly, and her chest rose and fell rapidly with each breath.

The sweat on his forehead was dried by the high temperature.

The bloodstains on her bitten lips had dried and were just left as a paste.

Having regained some of her energy, Tachibana Hibiki, under the stunned gazes of the other two, had no more energy left to tidy up the house.

She simply said, "Take care of your own dinner. I'm going to rest. Don't worry about me."

Hibiki Tachibana's face was pale, but her lips were smeared with blood. Her expression was calm, but her steps were heavy.

76. Perfect Performance

"...Huff...Huff..."

A small piece of wreckage escaped thanks to Tachibana Hibiki's attack.

That punch was simply outrageous; it was a force that no human could possibly generate. The last time he experienced such an absolute difference in power was when he went to collect the power of the god's name.

At that moment, he only brushed against the edge of the beam of light that the god had unleashed, and he felt as if he were about to be evaporated in that light.

I thought there wouldn't be so many monsters in this world anymore, but I never expected to get a fatal blow here.

Fortunately, I escaped... At least I'm alive, so things will be easier from now on...

The gray camel, struggling to move its body, which was now less than the size of a fist, crawled on the ground, trying to escape to a corner where it would not be found by the sunlight.

"Damn it... where is that guy the Beiyuan family sent...?"

He said bitterly, and was about to start cursing his companions who were supposed to come to his aid, when he suddenly saw a large shadow looming over him.

"I think I heard you talking badly about me, Mr. Gray Camel." A woman with blonde hair and golden eyes, whose colors were even more vibrant than Hibiki Tachibana's, stood expressionlessly in front of him.

Looking down at the small, lumpy gray camel at his feet, the other person suddenly relaxed his brows and revealed a smile that couldn't be more malicious. Although his pupils were a warm gold, they seemed to be swirling with viscous black mud.

"This is quite a mess, isn't it? And he's a second-tier ability user, no doubt about it."

Faced with the other party's merciless mockery, Gray Camel knew that now was not the time to argue with this guy, and he just urged her to take him back quickly: "Anyway... I need to replenish my flesh and blood, hurry up and find some for me... Hey! Kitagawa Yuko! What are you doing!"

Kitagawa Yuko simply squatted down, rested her hands on her knees, tilted her head slightly, and carefully observed the rampant murderer. She showed no intention of taking Gray Camel to find fresh flesh and blood to restore his body.

She was somewhat disappointed: "I originally wanted to find a glass bottle, but unfortunately, I was in a hurry to leave and didn't have one on hand."

"What are you trying to do...? I'm warning you, even if you are... you can't just lay a hand on me like that!"

Gray Camel was clearly exhausted; that crawl alone had used up all his strength. Even his speech was broken and labored.

He didn't even notice that something was slightly off about the "Yuko Kitagawa" in front of him.

There are subtle differences in physique and height, but they can be seen upon closer inspection.

He's taller, but also thinner.

【Kitagawa Yuko】only showed a slightly sympathetic and pitying expression: "Since we can't find a container to take you back, we can only deal with you here."

She chuckled softly, then reached out and gently touched the gray camel's body with her fingers.

Kitagawa Yuko's ability is "Divine Stroke," which allows her to alter the attributes of an object by writing on it.

During her time playing the role of Kitagawa Yuko, she was also able to achieve a similar ability, but the effect was slightly less, probably only about 50% of Kitagawa Yuko's own ability.

However, the gray camel in front of him was clearly already on its last legs; even with only half its power, it would be enough to kill the guy.

Beneath the mask, a subtle smile crept up.

[Yuko Kitagawa...is that Tenjo's girlfriend? She's terrifyingly crazy when she goes crazy.]

[How could it be here?!]

According to Gray Camel, she's probably now aligned with the Shadow Violence Association.

[She probably doesn't know that Tianjing is alive yet...?]

[But judging from the current situation, it seems like he's an undercover agent within the association?]

[Hmm, a revenge-type character?]

[Oh no, my Tower Collapse PTSD is about to flare up.]

【Yay! Another pretty widow!】

[Is this some kind of feud with the widow?]

[Mommy, what's wrong with being a widow?]

[I would feel out of place with you guys if I wasn't twisted enough.jpg]

It's obvious that the viewers in the comments section, having only seen Kitagawa Yuko once or twice, couldn't distinguish between the real person and the actress playing her, so they completely regarded her as the real Kitagawa Yuko and were curious about yet another key plot point.

What exactly is the stance of the Kitagawa family, who are behind Kitagawa Yuko?

I remember in the route of the tower's collapse, Kitagawa Yuko completely controlled the Shadow Association. Now it seems she's still fighting within the association.

[I just got back and I'm already teaming up with a second-tier ability user?]

Isn't Gray Camel just a minor character?

He's still pretty strong... I mean, in terms of his character design.

One against two, isn't that amazing?

[Anyway, he's dead now (without mercy)]

When the word "die" was uttered upon Gray Camel, and he silently dissolved into the soil, the character's story officially came to an end.

As his performance came to an end, the camera moved away from that side.

The actor has recently become more sensitive to the camera and has also felt the shift in focus of the camera.

She shed her disguise of power, and the blonde woman with golden eyes vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a slightly nonchalant white-haired girl.

His dark red pupils looked somewhat eerie in the night, and his fluffy white hair was also quite conspicuous.

She stared at the lifeless stain for a while, her eyes deep and unfathomable, like those of a demon.

It was already dark. She patted the dust off her hands and slowly stood up.

With one hand in his pocket, he turned around after hearing footsteps behind him and saw the person he had been playing just half a minute ago.

The other person was holding a glass bottle of soda that he had just finished drinking. He stood blankly at the entrance of the alley, looking like he really intended to come and carry the gray carp back.

Kitagawa Yuko looked at the ground and sensed a familiar energy fluctuation, clearly a trace left by her own [rewriting].

She raised an eyebrow at Kita Kirihara: "You killed him?"

“He killed him using your identity, so he only left your traces. You’re welcome.” Kita Kirihara revealed a refreshing smile. “I know you’ve wanted to get rid of him and have disliked him for a long time.”

“...Next time you do something like this, please consider how I should clean up the mess.” Kitagawa Yuko was quite troubled and a little regretful. “Besides, I originally wanted to do it myself.”

"why?"

"Because this guy likes to abuse cats."

"But I got there first, so sorry. The boss instructed me to clean up after a colleague who wasn't feeling well." Kita Kirihara apologized directly and perfunctorily, glancing at the time; it was getting late. "Also, I need to go home now to cook for Saki. Bye."

"..." Kitagawa Yuko looked at her with dead fish eyes, then casually tossed the glass bottle to her, "Here. Take it with you and throw it away."

Kita Kiri caught it with his uninjured right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the glass bottle disappeared from his hand.

It was like magic.

"Next time we meet, don't try to frame me with your 'perfect acting' again," Kitagawa Yuko said disdainfully.

PS: Note: Kita Kirihara possesses abilities, but due to special reasons, he cannot be detected.

It can mimic abilities and a certain appearance, but cannot completely replicate thought processes.

This is why her acting skills weren't that good at the beginning.

That is, it has a physical form, but no inner substance.
