mygo, but Cthulhu

Minato Yukina couldn't help but raise her voice in anger, but Sato Masuki's expression remained unchanged, he just stared at her silently.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want anything to happen to you... Yukina, your father is asking this of you because he's in a state of confusion. If he knew your situation, he wouldn't agree to this."

"...I've already lost my mother, and now I'm about to lose my father. No matter what reasons you use to persuade me, I want him to hear my song one last time."

Minato Yukina stared at her closely, glanced at his dying father, and responded with gritted teeth, while Sato Masuki also sighed, stood up, and slowly walked towards her.

"If possible, I really don't want to use violence against you... I'm sorry, I will apologize to you later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sato Yoshiki rushed over. Minato Yukina tried to dodge, but she had no experience in fighting. As soon as she thought of dodging, Sato Yoshiki rushed in front of her, and then she was pressed to the ground. She tried desperately to struggle but couldn't get free, and could only roar angrily.

"Sato Masuki! Let me go!"

"Sorry, not now. Wait until your father dies. I don't think he can hold on for much longer."

Sato Masuki shook her head gently, without loosening the strength in her hands. Yukina wanted to sing out loud in anger, but she forced the towel into her mouth. She could only sob and shed tears, watching her father's breath getting weaker and weaker in despair and helplessness.

But just when Yukina was about to collapse, Sato Masuki suddenly turned her head to avoid the flying brick. She looked at Lisa Imai who rushed over with gritted teeth in surprise. When she wanted to say something, the other party had already swung the steel pipe with force, forcing her to let go of Yukina.

"Yukina! Are you okay?!"

Lisa watched her closely and quickly helped Yukina up. Yukina quickly took off the towel, nodded gratefully, and knelt beside his dying father.

"Lisa, help me hold her back for a while. My father is about to die... I must at least fulfill his last wish!"

"Don't worry, Yukina, I will definitely..."

Before Lisa could finish her words, Sato Masuki rushed over. She swung the steel pipe in panic, but Masuki easily dodged it and snatched her weapon away. She knocked Lisa to the ground with a powerful punch. Seeing that Yuki was about to start singing, she tried to pounce on her, but Lisa held her calf tightly, and she gritted her teeth to squeeze out a sound.

"Don't even think about disturbing Yukina!"

"You don't know what you're doing! Let me go!"

Sato Masuki anxiously tried to break free, but the next moment she heard the trembling singing of Minato Yuki. The world seemed silent for a moment, and then a painful dizziness began to fill Masuki's consciousness.

She lost her balance and fell to the ground, while Yukina's singing filled the entire ruins. The ground began to shake, and the broken bricks and tiles also trembled. The dying man opened his eyes in a trance and tried to hold her hand with trembling hands.

"Youxi... you sang so well... I was so glad to hear your voice at the end... Even if we all leave, you must live on."

"Father, don't say that, nothing will happen to you..."

Yukina whimpered and struggled to squeeze out a sound, and the man wanted to say something but could only close his eyes weakly. His breathing gradually stopped, and after a moment of shock, Yukina could no longer bear the pain and wailed and cried.

As her cries began to rise, distorted notes gradually emerged in the air. Sato Masuki, who had regained consciousness, opened his eyes wide when he saw this scene. He gritted his teeth and quickly got up and shouted to Yukina,

"Yukina! Control your emotions! You've just merged with Zan'one, and it's still very unstable. If you don't stay calm, it'll quickly get out of control!"

“Wuwuwuaaaaaah!”

What responded to her was her increasingly broken sobs. It was obviously impossible to keep a girl who had lost both her parents in succession calm, not to mention that she had just attacked Youxina, so her words were impossible to be taken seriously.

The surrounding notes continued to increase amidst the crying, they floated to form a melody, and Lisa Imai couldn't help but open her eyes wide after recognizing the track.

"Is this...louder?"

Lisa's all-too-familiar melody resounded throughout the ruins, and she also saw the ruins around her being torn apart bit by bit by the materialized notes. All she could hear louder at this moment was pain and collapse, just like Yukina who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing.

"No, she can't hear us anymore. If we continue like this, she'll amplify the melody to an uncontrollable level. Not only will she die, but all of Tokyo will be affected... There's no other way. We have to kill her now."

After shouting several times without success, Sato Masuki couldn't help but sigh heavily. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, took out her pistol and pointed it at Yukina, but when she was about to pull the trigger, Imai Lisa suddenly stood in front of her and quickly grasped the pistol with trembling hands.

"No! Don't shoot! Yuki will definitely regain consciousness... I can bring her back, don't shoot!"

"You can't do it. All her pursuit and emotions for music have become fuel for the residual sound. How can you do it?!"

"I can do this! This is louder! I've rehearsed this song with her countless times, I know how to wake her up!"

Imai Lisa gritted her teeth and screamed desperately, while the man facing her with a frown

After watching for a moment, Sato Masuki couldn't help but sigh in compromise and put down his gun helplessly.

"I understand your familiarity with this piece... but these melodies have become weapons that can kill. This isn't a recording studio. Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course I know... Even though I didn't bring my guitar, there must be something I can use!"

Lisa Imai answered hurriedly while looking around. All she saw was the familiar arrangement of musical notes. Yukina, who was curled up on the ground, was now covered by the musical notes. Lisa knew that even if she shouted desperately, she probably wouldn't be able to hear a sound.

"No, I have to get closer to Yuukina. What should I do..."

Lisa was filled with anxiety. The thought that she might lose Yukina made her mind dizzy with panic... At this moment, she saw a note that was about to disappear floating past her eyes. She suddenly realized something in a trance, gritted her teeth, and reached out to the note desperately.

Since it's a musical note... then no matter how dangerous it is, it should be something she can play!

"Lisa, are you crazy?!"

Seeing her movements, Sato Masuki panicked and wanted to stop her, but to her great surprise, the note did not explode directly when it touched Lisa. It burned Lisa's hands, but eventually it slowly turned into a bass.

"Hiss, sure enough, I was right...notes can also recognize musical literacy. Although it hurts, at least I can control it."

Lisa's hands were burned and bloody, but even though her body was trembling in pain, she was still unwilling to let go. Under Sato Mashiki's stunned gaze, she quickly rushed towards Yukina, not afraid of the constantly stacking notes.

Yes, she could, because this was Louder, and this was a song they had performed together countless times... How could she not pass it!

Lisa Imai held the bass firmly, endured the severe pain and played her part skillfully. The parts belonging to the bass in the distorted melody disappeared one after another, but the other parts exploded one after another because there was no corresponding instrument playing. Because Lisa played correctly, their power was greatly reduced, but they still blew bloody holes in her body.

"Ah, it hurts... I can't help it. I'm not a complete louder on my own, but it's too late to call others over now... At least I can clear a path."

Lisa trembled and tried her best to endure the pain. She looked at her pale finger bones that were completely exposed due to the burns from Beth, gritted her teeth and chose to continue, step by step towards the familiar figure lying on the ground.

Although she is Roselia's bassist, Lisa Imai is not particularly passionate about music. She just regards it as a good hobby... Perhaps this is why she is burned by the bass.

But even though she doesn't love it that much, Lisa never slacks off during every practice. She tries her best to perform at her best. She gives up other activities she likes more and practices over and over again with her friends... This is because she cares about Roselia, she cares about Yukina, and she cares about everyone.

Ever since she heard Yukina's singing as a child, she could never forget that childish yet focused voice, and Yukina's serious expression was also deeply imprinted in her mind.

Her interest in music was indeed just normal... However, as long as it was for Yukina, she would not give up no matter how much she had to endure, and no matter how her hands would burn, she was willing to accept this ungodly punishment... As long as she could be close to Yukina, as long as she could make Yukina wake up.

Lisa Imai moved forward step by step with this belief. The notes tore at her body, and she was gradually soaked in blood. But even though her vision was blurred, she still played desperately with her broken hands, with only that figure in her eyes.

Finally, Lisa played the last note with difficulty, and the whole melody began to slowly dissipate. She also walked closer to Yukina tremblingly, and no longer had the strength to support her body, and knelt heavily on the ground.

"Yukina..."

Lisa tried to squeeze out a hoarse voice and wanted to raise her hands to touch Yukina, but the next moment she saw that her two palms had disappeared. After realizing that they had been worn out in the performance just now, Lisa was stunned. The first thing that came to her mind was not the pain of being disabled, but the fact that she could no longer play the bass.

"If that's the case... I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Roselia anymore, right? This is really... a headache."

"...Lisa?"

At this time, Yukina Minato slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Lisa covered in blood and with her hands missing, her pupils shrank instantly. Lisa subconsciously showed a surprised expression when she saw her wake up.

"Yukina, I'm so glad you're okay... I thought you were going to leave me... Thankfully, you're okay."

She raised her arms to hug Yukina, but as she relaxed, her vision suddenly fell into darkness, and she lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Only Yukina's hysterical wails echoed through the ruins.

"Lisa!!!"

Chapter 226 Weird Memory

"However, there's no need for us to dwell on the past. Let's deal with the current situation first."

Tsuzuki Shifune shook his head, then looked at Shirasagi No Yoshiyo, whose expression was complex and obscure, and his voice became obviously serious.

"Deputy, you've heard the details. I didn't want to interfere in your internal affairs... but since the hospital has experienced this level of contamination, I must demand an explanation."

"Now answer me, has the puppeteer lost control? Why are you treating your daughter so strangely? Can you guarantee that there won't be any more actor contamination?"

"Ms. Tsuzuki... I'm deeply sorry for everything that happened, but I still hope you can give me one last chance. Can you please let me take Qian Sheng home and explain things to her slowly? The circumstances surrounding this... are not suitable for too many people to know."

Shiragi Nobutayo cautiously tried to speak, and Tsuzuki Shifune couldn't help but frown.

"Can't I know that?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I promise I didn't mean to hide anything. I really have my reasons... Please, just give me one more day. I'll tell you everything tomorrow."

Shirasagi No Yoshiro looked at her pleadingly, and Tsuzuki Shifune sighed after a moment's silence.

"Okay...but you only have one day. Tomorrow I want to know what's going on."

"Many thanks."

Shiragi Nobutaka quickly bowed deeply, and Uehara Akatsuki couldn't help but open his eyes wide in disbelief when he saw this scene.

"Tsuzuki Shisen, you agree just like that? The Shirasagi family has caused such a big mess, and you agree after she just begged you a little? What on earth are you thinking?"

"She only asked for one day, and I believe she has sufficient reasons."

Tsuzuki Shifune shook her head. When Uehara Akatsuki was about to say something in anger, she raised her finger and pointed at the tightly bound puppeteer.

"And during this time, I won't let the Puppet Master go, and it won't cause any more trouble. You don't think it can escape from my hands, do you?"

"That's not the case. After all, you're just old, not useless... But I still think you're being too careless, Tsuzuki Poetry Ship. You shouldn't have agreed to her."

"I've made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more. Just leave here."

Tsuzuki Shifune spoke quietly, and Uehara Akira looked at her for a moment and sneered.

After a moment, he turned around and left quickly. Bai Lu Fadai breathed a sigh of relief at this time and hurriedly wanted to step forward and take Qian Sheng away.

"Wait a moment!"

The next moment, Hiromachi Nanami and the others came running over eagerly with Hanazono Tae. They were stunned to see Tsuzuki Shifune was also there. After hesitating for a moment, Hiromachi Nanami turned her eyes to Chisei pleadingly.

"Mr. Bai Lu, please, we need your help with something urgent. Could you please come with us?"

"What happened over there?"

Tsuzuki Shifune asked with concern, and Nanami and the others looked at each other hesitantly but didn't know how to explain. While they were hesitating, Duohui pursed her lips and spoke softly,

"I'm sorry, I accidentally read some very dangerous information. Mashiro-san took the side effects for me, but she can only be out of danger if my memory disappears. So we came to find Sensei-san."

"In that case, let me help you."

Shirasagi Nobuta frowned and spoke quickly after listening to it, obviously anxious to take Chisei home. Hiromachi Nanami and the others became more and more flustered, subconsciously wanting to stop him but unable to think of a suitable excuse.

"Let me do it, Mother. Hiromachi's parents asked me to give her a drop of blood, but I haven't been able to do it yet."

At this time, Bailu Qiansheng stared at them thoughtfully for a moment, then spoke seriously to Fadai, who could only nod when he heard it.

"Well then... remember to hurry up, Qiansheng."

"Um,"

Bai Lu Qiansheng comforted Xiao Cai, who looked a little uneasy, and used the excuse that she needed to concentrate on casting a spell to walk away with Nanami and the others. After making sure that no one else could hear the conversation here, she stopped and turned to look at Hiromachi Nanami.

"Now, can you tell me, Hiromachi-san, what is it that you don't want Ms. Tsuzuki and my mother to know?"

"Qiansheng-san...how did you notice that?"

"To be honest, I'm not really sure... I don't know why, but I can sense your nervousness right now."

Shiragi Chisei shook her head, and Hiromachi Nanami was silent for a moment before sighing.

"We can tell you. After all, you'll definitely know when we erase Hanazono's memory later... But can you promise not to tell anyone else?"

"That depends on what you're hiding."

"That's right, you really won't agree... Then I'll tell you now."

Hiromachi Nanami whispered to Qiansheng the whole story, and Bailu Qiansheng nodded in understanding.

"So you were the ones who killed the chairman. It's understandable that you wanted to conceal it. Although Ms. Tsuzuki has been exceptionally tolerant of us, directly killing a committee member is not a crime that can be easily covered up."

"But your actions have nothing to do with me. Besides, Hanazono-san is willing to help you cover up. I can help you."

"Thank you very much."

Hearing her answer, Hiromachi Nanami and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Shirasagi Chisei handed the drop of blood to Nanami and turned to look at Hanazono Tae with some curiosity.

"But can I ask you, Hanazono-san, why did you take the initiative to help them just now? Ms. Tsuzuki was right over there. If you had just told the truth, they wouldn't have been able to stop you in time, right?"

"That's true...but since they didn't intend to hurt me and just wanted to cover up their crime, I don't think it's necessary to do this."

Duohui shook her head silently.

"I've already lost Rimi and Arisaki. I just want to resolve this matter quickly and not add any more hatred to Popipa."

"I see, I think I can understand you."

Bailu Qiansheng sighed and then held Duohui's hand.

"It might be a little painful, just bear with it."

She used magic to find this part of Huayuan Duohui's memory and quickly delineated its scope. Just as she was about to start, another strange part of the memory suddenly caught her attention.

That was a memory of Hanazono Duohui when she was a child. She happened to meet Qiansheng, who was also a child. Qiansheng also saw the fat man in the information walking towards her excitedly in Duohui's sight, but no one, including Duohui, reacted... It was obviously another spell traded to him by the puppeteer.

Is this what will happen next?
