My anime character is in the infinite flow search and fight

With such a distinguished gathering, the future looks promising!

......

Am I dead?

Xiangzi stared blankly at the scene before him.

She was standing on a vast, empty platform. In the center of the platform was an enormous sphere of light, which illuminated the entire platform like a sun. All around the platform was boundless darkness, a profound darkness so dark that not a single ray of light could be seen.

After only glancing around at the darkness, Xiangzi already felt dizzy. She shook her head, but couldn't see her teammates anywhere.

what happened?

The moment the idea formed in his mind, Xiangzi connected with the large sphere of light above his head.

It was a very strange feeling. With her eyes closed, Xiangzi felt as if she had merged into a ball of light. A screen similar to a computer program platform appeared in front of her, with four categories listed on it.

The game is divided into categories such as technology, magic and legend, support, and entertainment. In addition, there are six personal attributes: intelligence, mental strength, cell vitality, nerve reaction speed, muscle tissue strength, and immune strength. The rest are reward points.

Xiangzi saw that his six attributes were: Intelligence 127, Mental Strength 138, Cell Vitality 97, Nerve Reaction Speed ​​101, Muscle Strength 92, and Immune Strength 45.

All these values ​​are based on a standard of 100 for the average person, meaning that Xiangzi's body is in a subtle sub-healthy state.

The extremely low level of his immune system, in particular, astonished Xiangzi. But just as he began to wonder, the divine being provided the answer.

It scanned Xiangzi's body and gave her an answer that shocked and terrified her.

She has mitochondrial DNA deletion syndrome.

According to the explanation from the main deity, Toyokawa Shoko finally understood the problem with her illness.

This is an extremely rare condition, often caused by the deletion of an autosomal recessive chromosome (TYMP), leading to neuromuscular failure and digestive dysfunction. Almost no patient lives past forty.

Moreover, the onset of the disease is completely unexpected and highly insidious, and almost no problems can be detected except through specialized instrumental examinations. In the early stages, it may only manifest as mild gastrointestinal discomfort or fatigue. However, once it occurs, death will occur without any warning.

The only way this disease can be transmitted is through genetics, which means...

"So that's the reason...?"

Xiangzi slumped weakly to the ground, clutching his arms tightly with both hands, murmuring in a voice trembling with sobs.

Is the reason why almost all the main members of the Toyokawa family, including my grandmother and mother, died young due to this incurable disease?

It was unexpected, but also quite reasonable.

But when he thought of his mother, Xiangzi felt a sharp pain in his heart, and when he thought that he was also destined not to live past forty, fear clung to him like a shadow.

Will I, like my mother, also leave my family and pass away at an age when I should be living a happy life?

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was feeling utterly hopeless and alone in despair, the Supreme God suddenly gave her an answer—

To cure this disease, you only need to pay 500 reward points.

Toyokawa Shoko looked up, her expression one of astonishment.

"It's that simple... and it's so cheap?!"

—To be precise, treatment only requires a mere 100 points, but if you want to take it out of the reincarnation space, you need to pay five times the price to 'buy' it, except for entertainment items, and make it completely your own.

In the eyes of the Supreme God, as long as it doesn't involve curses or souls, simple physical ailments are utterly insignificant.

She quickly checked her reward points: 1000 points from the main quest, 30 points from killing three Lickers, and some documents and artifacts she had looted, which could be sold for 50 points.

And—that thing that 'burst' out of the tyrant.

[T-virus enhancement meme]

Type: Enhancement Item

Description: The T-virus enhancement factor produced from the Tyrant can safely grant the user the 'T-virus Enhancement' status, or be handed over to the Main God to obtain 2500 reward points!

The number 2500 made Toyokawa Shoko's breathing quicken. Her hand almost reached for the option to submit, but she stopped herself in the end.

First, in Xiangzi's eyes, this fall didn't truly belong to her. Second, Xiangzi might not need to cure her illness for the time being, after all, she's still very young...

Xiangzi lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided—

"God, exchange 500 reward points... for real currency!"

Xiangzi gritted his teeth, ignoring his illness and the desire to strengthen himself and those seemingly colorful and powerful bloodlines, and made this decision.

The main god quickly approved her request, and after doing all this, Xiangzi chose to quit the game.

Close your eyes, open your eyes

Xiangzi was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses. Looking out the window, the sky was still the same as the sunset she had seen when she first arrived home. And when she checked her phone, only five minutes had passed.

Her hand rested on the helmet beside her, giving her the illusion that the past was nothing but an absurd dream.

But soon, with the information she received via text message, Xiangzi realized that this was not a dream.

Her empty account suddenly received an unexplained income of 50 million yen!

"Really, it's true!"

Xiangzi murmured as she gripped her phone tightly. She was certain that this call was not from her grandfather, but as she looked at the money, her eyes gradually lit up.

This is not a dream, I am not dreaming!

She gripped the helmet tightly beside her, her expression a mixture of crying and laughing, as if she were holding her most precious treasure—no, it was her most precious possession!

With it, I might be able to help my father pay off his debts soon! And it can also cure my hereditary disease, and...

A ray of sunlight shone into her otherwise bleak life, and even though it carried an unsettling blood-red hue, Toyokawa Shoko held on tightly, unwilling to let go.

A girl living an ordinary life was thus led by Akihimi into a cruel journey of the king.

But it's alright anyway—

He truly brought her hope and change, didn't he?

Chapter 8: 8. Suffering and Bloodthirsty Audience

"Want to know why Toyokawa Shoko left? Want to get rid of this eyesore of pink hair around her?"

yes or no

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly received a strange text message on her phone.

Her slender fingers, which had been scrolling through old band videos, suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed intently on the strange text message.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and, with trembling hands, pressed the YES button.

The next moment, the text message suddenly disappeared.

Nagasaki Motoyo had no idea what had happened or who had sent the text message, and she didn't have the mind to think about it at the moment.

She turned off her phone, extinguishing the only light source in the cold home. The black screen reflected Nagasaki Motoyo's beautiful yet deathly pale face.

"Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang..."

She was like a broken doll, her eyes lifeless, repeatedly murmuring the same words, filled with deep fear and despair.

That was the person she loved.

Toyokawa Shoko is the most important person to Nagasaki Motoyo.

She and what she had built was once a place she could call home, but now there is nothing left there.

And now, this most important person to her has left her without a word, and not only that...

Nagasaki Motoyo gripped her phone tightly, her hand tightening slightly. The edge of the phone gradually dug in as she gripped it harder, but the slight pain made her mind even clearer.

She recalled the scene she had witnessed that day!

Following Xiao Mu's figure, she went there and saw the person she had been longing for day and night.

Xiangzi, Deng, Lixi, and Mu.

Everything was as beautiful as it used to be, except that an unwanted and obstructive person had entered this beautiful scene.

Chihaya Aine

That annoying woman wearing a mask!

This is so shallow; he only approached the person who formed the band with the idea of ​​becoming popular!

Are you kidding me? The band...CRYCHIC! It's not that simple!

Nagasaki Motoyo gradually curled up her body, her teeth clenched tightly, and a faint taste of blood seeped out from between them.

For her, this place felt like home—no, it was a place that felt more like home than this cold house!

But why is Xiangzi, a familiar person and a familiar place, so intimate with that woman named Chihaya Aine?

Ignoring me, yet spending time with that woman, Xiangzi, has he already abandoned me?

With painful thoughts swirling in her mind, Nagasaki Motoyo gradually drifted off to sleep.

As dawn broke, Nagasaki Motoyo gradually awoke from her dream, but her hand inadvertently touched something.

"Ok?"

Nagasaki Motoyo woke up from a sweet dream, her eyes still heavy with sleep. She stared blankly for several seconds at the helmet-like object beside her.

Then she saw the note stuck on the helmet.

"Wear it if you want to stand in Toyokawa Shoko's world."

……

Walking to school, Xiangzi had never felt so vibrant and sunny as he did today.

The morning sun shone on his face. Xiangzi looked at the scorching sun through his hands, a look of relief and relaxation on his face.

She has already quit her job.

Fifty million yen was a negligible sum for the former eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, but for Toyokawa Shoko, it was enough to change her life.

With this 50 million yen, she and her father could move to a better place, and she wouldn't have to worry about making a living for the two of them anymore!

That alone is enough to be exhilarating!

but……

Xiangzi knew that even though she no longer had to struggle for her and her father's livelihood, she could never go back to the past.

The band we used to know, CRYCHIC, Lamp, and everyone else...

Even though she wanted to obtain it, Xiangzi knew clearly that she had more important and urgent things to do.

She was unwilling to quit the cycle of reincarnation, because it was her only chance to change her father's current fate.

Friends are important, but her father is important too, and she has already made a choice—

It's time for Toyokawa Shoko to grow up.

The winds of victory are blowing from behind me! Yesterday's weak Xiangzi is dead; now it's...

Good morning, Xiangzi-chan~~~~~

Just as Toyokawa Shoko continued her mental whirlwind, a series of distinctly Tang-style voices suddenly rang out beside her.

Looking up, I was sure to see Chihaya Aine's smiling face.

"What? Why do you have such a long face as soon as you see me?" Chihaya Aine pouted slightly.

"We've been through thick and thin together, risking our lives for each other, after all~~~~"

"...That's just a game!" Xiangzi looked around and whispered.

"Besides... how can you say such things in public!"

"What? Oh dear, if others heard this, they would probably just think we're just being delusional."

Chihaya Aine waved her hand dismissively, maintaining her sweet smile.

"But Xiangzi-chan was acting all high and mighty just now~~~"

Toyokawa Shoko, head down and face dark, immediately tried to leave the pink-haired man's side, but the man, as always, oblivious to her surroundings, followed her.

"How about this, Xiangzi-chan? If you're busy at school, how about we go to a coffee shop after school and have a good chat?"

"After all, we have more important things to talk about. You see, we're teammates in the same game, so we should communicate properly."

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stopped in her tracks, stared at Chihaya Aine for a long time, bit her lip slightly, and uttered a single word.

"it is good"
