In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

The classroom door was pushed open, and the four children looked towards the door at the same time.

It's Yoshikage Kira.

Yoshikage Kira looked around:

Where's Pochi-chan?

Akiyama Mio pulled out a chair for Kira Yoshikage and explained softly:

"She went home early; a friend must have been looking for her."

"Huh? A friend?!"

Ritsu Tainaka looked surprised. "Does Pochi-chan have any other friends?"

She realized her mistake as soon as the words left her mouth and hurriedly explained:

"Oh, I wasn't making fun of her!"

I'm really surprised! When did Pochi-chan make friends?

I was with them the whole time, wasn't I?

Whether it's a club activity or a weekend retreat.

Yui Hirasawa took a sip of black tea:

"It should be the girl I met in Shimokitazawa last time."

Ritsu Tianjing was stunned:

"Huh? When? How come I didn't know?"

Hirasawa Yui took a small bite of the cookie and muttered:

"It's the girl I met last time when Boqi and I went to buy drinks. They seemed to know each other quite well."

Kotobuki Tsumugi was somewhat worried:

"Could we have been scammed?"

Boqi is even more worrying than Wei!

She's just a bit airheaded, but Pochi-chan is very introverted; she wouldn't even dare to scream if she were kidnapped.

"Wei, do you know that girl's name?"

Akiyama Mio asked.

Hirasawa Yui swallowed the remaining half of the cookie and blinked:

"It seems to be called Ichiji... Hmm~ Ichiji Nijika? Hmm~ Their band seems to perform in livehouses, hmm, it seems to be called STARRY."

Kotobuki Tsumugi sighed:

"Wei knows very well~"

Hirasawa Yui was a little embarrassed:

"Hehe~ Because she also tried to invite me on LINE."

Ritsu Takai suggested:

"In that case, let's all go take a look after school!"

"Go to Shimokitazawa..."

Akiyama Mio's body trembled slightly; she still hasn't been able to escape the shadow of that time.

"Mio, are you feeling unwell?"

Ritsu Tainaka noticed that something was wrong with her friend and became somewhat worried.

"No, I... I just..."

Akiyama Mio bit her lip lightly, feeling somewhat afraid.

She knew that people always have to face their own shadows, and that simply running away wouldn't solve anything.

But she was really scared!

Even if the cursed spirit that killed her has vanished into thin air, even if she has changed beyond recognition under the training of the gods.

But I'm still afraid!

Even the most professional parkour players, aren't they afraid of falling to their deaths?

I'm sure it will!

Kira Yoshikage gently took the girl's small hand under the table, his voice soft:

"It's alright, I'll go with you."

Ritsu Tainaka asked in surprise:

"Huh? Really? Kira-kun has to work, right?"

Yoshikage Kira replied with a smile:

"It's okay, I've already resigned."

"Resign."

Akiyama Mio's eyes flickered slightly, her gaze filled with emotion.

"Eh~"

Kotobuki Tsumugi's gaze lingered on the two of them, her head tilted slightly.

Although she still felt that the best relationships were between girls, but...

Hmm~ Actually, this doesn't seem so bad.

Chapter 170 Two powerful nations are serving me alone, isn't that a great blessing?

Setagaya Ward, Shimokitazawa.

Ritsu Tainaka stood at the bottom of a staircase leading underground and muttered to himself:

"STARRY, is it around here?"

She looked down and saw the word 'STARRY' written on a colorful neon sign above the dark stairwell.

"Ah, found it, over here, over here!"

Tainaka Ritsu immediately waved excitedly to the people behind him, beckoning them over.

Kotobuki Tsumugi: "Is this the place?"

Yui Hirasawa: "It looks really impressive."

"livehouse..."

Akiyama Mio looked down at the shadowy stairwell at the bottom, her body trembling slightly, as if her memories were suddenly brought back to the past.

If it were just a regular livehouse, she might feel a little uncomfortable, but she wouldn't be as scared as she is now. But STARRY is located underground, and even this stairwell seems exactly like the nightmare she once had.

The iron gate at the end of the stairs was tightly closed, but Akiyama Mio seemed to see a woman covered in bandages with a ferocious expression rushing out from inside.

As it turns out, the fear and shadow in the girl's heart never disappeared; she simply hid them very well.

But she was still afraid, afraid that 'fate' would once again lead them to death.

It's as if as soon as they walk down this staircase and into the underground livehouse, they will become the same as before—cold corpses hanging from the ceiling.

"It's fine."

Yoshikage Kira held the girl's soft little hand.

No matter when, the best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on!

Even someone who is branded with the idea that "water is highly poisonous" will gradually begin to doubt this view if they are forced to drink large amounts of water every day—if it doesn't kill people, how can it be highly poisonous?

Of course, this is on the premise that the idea that 'water is highly poisonous' is a false proposition.

If water were truly highly poisonous, causing death upon consumption, then no one could possibly overcome the deeply ingrained belief that 'water is highly poisonous.'

And this is the situation that Akiyama Mio is now facing.

If Akiyama Mio were to rely solely on her own will to overcome her inner fears, she would have to undergo a fierce internal struggle.

But if someone helps her, the process can be sped up.

That's exactly what Yoshikage Kira intended to do.

As long as she feels safe when facing fear, her inner fear will naturally dissipate.

"Eh~!"

Tainaka Ritsu looked at the two holding hands and Akiyama Mio's submissive attitude, and exchanged a subtle glance with Kotobuki Tsumugi.

So, when did this happen?

click!

Yoshikage Kira pushed open the door, and the girl's body trembled slightly, but there was nothing behind the door that frightened her.

The store is rather dark and the atmosphere is rather somber. The walls are decorated with red steel pipes, giving it a punk-like feel.

Behind the door is a short staircase, and the bar is located at the bottom of the staircase against the wall.

The performance on stage was coming to an end, and the four girls were all panting heavily.

Kira Yoshikage led the way, holding Akiyama Mio's small hand, without making much noise.

Akiyama Mio's initial nervousness subsided slightly after entering the livehouse, and she gestured for Hirasawa Yui and the other two behind her to be quiet.

Because at the front of the stage, a rather mature-looking blonde woman calmly gazed at the four people on stage with her red eyes:

"Isn't this pretty good?"

The girls on stage showed expressions of surprise.

"Although I'd like to say that."

The blonde older sister poured cold water on their enthusiasm again:
