I said you are all war criminals

"me……"

She hesitated for a long time, and finally uttered, "I, I like...that..."

"Wild Fire?"

Hongxia added for her.

"Yes, yes! It's Wild Fire!"

Yili seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and nodded rapidly.

"Wild Fire..."

Kirino held her chin and said thoughtfully, "I heard that they seem to be going to the martial arts hall...but I don't think their strength should be that strong."

"Yeah, the rest of the band was okay, but the bass was such a drag."

Kuroneko, who has always been at odds with Kirino, also said so.

Yili and Hongxia laughed dryly.

Who is the person holding back the most in Ld Fire? Others don't know, but don't they?

Bai Ye, the guy who "brought money into the team," should have been laid off long ago if Wild Fire didn't need to make money and Bai Ye himself was the boss of the company...

"Let's talk about something else instead of the band!"

Hong Xia took the initiative to open the topic, "Yili just joined the party, and she's actually new to comics too. Do you have any comics to recommend?"

"Comics..."

At the mention of comics, Black Cat immediately perked up. "Of course, the most popular one lately is 'Love Magician'. It's about a magical girl fighting a witch organization. The setting is very novel, and the art is beautiful. However, the plot is a bit dragged out, so I don't really recommend it. I want to recommend..."

Kirino immediately retorted: "Dragging? I think the pacing is just right! And the emotional line is handled very delicately, unlike some comics that start with all the kissing and smooching without any foreshadowing."

As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at the black cat, as if hinting at something.

Black Cat wasn't to be outdone: "Delicate? I think that's just pretentious, right? She cries all the time, and it makes me feel so awkward. If you ask me, 'Lovers on the Timeline' is more exciting. And the heroine isn't someone who's useless without love; she's very independent. That's the book I want to recommend."

"Independent? I think that means cold-blooded, right? He's indifferent to his teammates and only cares about looking cool. What's there to like about a character like that?"

Kirino complained mercilessly.

The two of them were talking back and forth, exchanging sharp words, as if a fight was about to break out in the next second.

Ichiri sat aside, trying to digest the information they were throwing out, nodding in agreement and feigning interest. But deep down, she was completely calm; after all, she hadn't read a single manga. She stole a glance at Nijika and found her resting her chin on her hand, watching Kuroneko and Kirino's "argument" with great interest, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.

【Yili suddenly felt that Hongxia was having a much easier time than before.】

[…Maybe this isn’t so bad.]

[Perhaps it would be better to immerse yourself in the world of comics than to pursue a hopeless love.]

【Thinking of this, Ichiri decided──】

"Okay, anyway, let me take a look at the future girls' comics first."

There's still a lot of time left anyway.

Hakuno plans to read some girls' comics first.

As for persecuting Hongxia?

Let’s put it aside for a while.

Chapter 115: Kita's turn.

In Starry's practice room, Kita Yuyo hugged her guitar tightly, her fingers flying over the strings, but always stopped abruptly after a rapid strum.

"hateful……"

She cursed softly, her bangs quivering slightly in frustration. The guitar part of this new song was quite difficult for her; even after countless practice sessions, she kept getting stuck in the same spot. She scratched her hair in frustration, leaving her once-soft red locks sticking up in a mess.

The intermittent sound of guitar echoed in the empty venue, but Kita always felt that something was not enough.

...In this band piece, both Ichiri and Ryo performed at a very high level. This also meant that Kita's level was somewhat lagging behind.

It's a bit funny.

Kita can punch through a half-meter thick steel plate with his hands, but he cannot simply pluck out the highest quality string sound.

The air in the practice room was thick and humid, thick with the smell of sweat and cheap instant coffee. Kita Ikuyo mechanically repeated a guitar riff, her fingertips scraping against the strings, making a grating sound. Her fingers felt numb, her arms ached so hard she could barely lift them, but the melody lingered in her head, like a spell. It was two in the morning, and she was alone in Starry's practice room, with the guitar she had tortured to the point of falling apart.

She put the guitar down dejectedly, letting it make a dull thud.

"Do I... just not have any talent for this?"

Kita muttered to herself, her voice so low it was almost inaudible. She thought of Ryo and Ichiri, both masters of their respective fields, while she, like a clumsy apprentice, always held everyone back. This feeling of powerlessness suffocated her, as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat.

If she didn't know how to fight, it might be better.

It is precisely because Kita understands what it feels like to be omnipotent that he is particularly aware of how incompetent he is now.

The door of the practice room was gently pushed open, making a slight "creak" sound, breaking the frozen silence. Kita Ikuyo suddenly raised her head and saw Goto Ichiri standing at the door.

"Ah, Ichiri..."

Xiduo was a little flustered and tried to cover up his loss of composure, wiping his face carelessly, "It's so late, why are you still here?"

Yili said nothing, but walked straight to Xiduo and squatted beside her. The practice room was filled with the bitter smell of instant coffee, mixed with the sour smell of sweat, but also with a bit of Xiduo's fresh fragrance.

"You...are still practicing."

Ichiri gently stroked Kita's fingers.

In fact, Kita has almost no calluses on his fingers.

This doesn't mean Kita doesn't practice enough, but Kita's fingers don't get hurt from plucking the strings. Kita is "special," and Ichiri already knew that.

Kita looked at Ichiri, his eyes filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

"Hmm... I feel like I can't practice well no matter what I do."

She sighed, her voice as low as a mosquito's hum.

"Senior Liang and Ichiri are both so powerful, only I..."

"Don't say that, Kita."

Ichiri interrupted Kita, "You are different from us, you are..."

Ichiri paused, as if searching for the right words, "You are special."

"special?"

Kita gave a wry laugh, "Extremely clumsy and useless, huh?"

Yili's slender fingers gently stroked Kita's fingertips, feeling the unusual smoothness.

"You are different from us, you are..."

Yili paused, "You are...a child blessed by God."

The corners of Kita's mouth twitched. It would be more accurate to say that she was a descendant of God rather than being favored by God.

Not long ago, Kita heard a surprising fact from Kanesada: Kita is not an ordinary human, but a descendant of the ancient alien "Golden God". Kanesada, on the other hand, is a weapon that belongs to Kita and was returned from the future to the present through a time machine.

…However, even if Kita is a descendant of the Golden God, he can’t play the guitar well.

“Sometimes I feel like I’m just like Mr. Hakuno. Leaving the band is the biggest help it can get.”

【Kita said this sincerely.】

The word "well" appeared in Bai Ye's head.

After he finished increasing Hong Xia's favorability, he immediately went to increase Xiduo's favorability. Who would have thought that before he could increase the favorability a few times, Xiduo would start to attack Bai Ye first.

...I can bear it!

Hakuno began to arrange Ichiri's lines.

"You're just like Bai Ye-ge, your skills aren't very good."

【Ichiri holds Kita's hand and says this.】

"But our band wasn't formed to abandon our friends."

Yili said seriously.

Kita was stunned. She didn't expect Ichiri to say such a thing. She originally thought that Ichiri would criticize her harshly like Liang, or comfort her in every possible way like Hongxia.

But Yili just told her calmly that they were friends and companions and would not abandon each other.

This sentence is very simple, but it is enough to move Kita.

then.

Ichiri took the initiative and hugged Kita.

The world suddenly went silent. The hum of the air conditioner in the practice room faded, as did the sound of traffic scurrying through the open door. Even her own chaotic thoughts vanished. Only the restless throbbing of her heart in her chest and the steady, strong beat of her own heart remained.

The girl's body temperature came through the thin T-shirt, warm and reassuring.

Kita's mind went blank, as if she had been hit by a sudden wave and lost the ability to think. She leaned stiffly in Yili's arms, feeling like she was leaning against a warm tree, but with a sense of unreality.

Yili's embrace was softer than he had imagined, with a faint scent of laundry detergent and a barely perceptible hint of sweat. This mixed smell was like ants gnawing at Xiduo's brain.

Kita has always felt like a burden to the band. Her guitar skills are far inferior to everyone else's. It's a simple technical problem, but she can't improve it no matter how hard she tries... It's like Kita was never meant to be a musician.

This feeling was even stronger after she heard Kanesada tell her life story.

Kanesada told Kita that she was born to be the spokesperson for the war, so - from the beginning, Kita should not have played the guitar.

"Rather than a guitar, you should pick up a sword. A sword that can cut the world apart and sever the years."

This is what Kanesada said to Kita.

Kita only needed to pick up the wooden sword and swing it once to know that Kanesada was right.

Kita is more suited to swords than guitars.

Kita is better at killing than music.

and so……

That's why Kita has been practicing guitar here and feels painful about it.

"I...I am..."

Kita's voice was broken.

"Can I stay here and keep playing guitar?"

To this question, Yili answered gently.

"Of course."

"We are companions. We must help each other, support each other, and move forward together."

Chapter 116: Kita's turn ends.

Just to mention this.

Although Hakuno is a novice in love, he is not a novice in the dating game.

"Sister's Diary", complete all endings.

"Insect Loves Girl", second episode.

"Death, Death, Lord, House, Budbuki, Hatred" and its sequels, all collected.

In addition, there are many pure love games, and Bai Ye has played them all.

——Can you defy me, who is experienced in gaming?

Ichiri and Kita's hug lasted for a long time, so long that Hakuno began to wonder if he should interrupt it.

As they continued to hug, Hakuno touched his chin and began to analyze Kita and Nijika's positions in the game of love.

On the surface, this girl Kita is a descendant of the Golden God. She often participates in underground fighting tournaments and seems to be very powerful.
