Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Page 103

"——At such a close distance, [Fitting] will blow up my sister too, right?"

Bang!

The bullets from the kinetic shotgun [Bloody Maria] exploded at a very close distance, crushing several of Sayo's prosthetic fingers that were reaching towards the gun.

"Gu——!"

Boom!

The barrels of the guns met each other, and sparks flew in the darkness, in front of the spark-ridden, destroyed screen.

"...Fuck...food..."

At the last moment, she placed [Nicky] sideways to block the dark muzzle of [Bloody Maria] and stared at the attacker in front of her.

However, the attacker seemed unaware of the situation and smiled briskly.

"Ahaha, my sister recognized me."

The synthetic fiber shockproof hat slipped open due to the intense movement, revealing the attacker's mint green short hair from under the brim.

A closer look revealed that the attacker also looked very similar to Sayo. However, compared to Sayo who always frowned seriously, the attacker's eyebrows were more relaxed and his expression was more relaxed.

The attacker who attacked the Roselia base—and even penetrated deep into the "fortress"—was none other than the lead guitarist of Pastel*Palettes!

Hikawa Nichi, known as the "little genius next door"!

Roselia's glacier yarn night, and Pastel*Palettes' glacier day dish.

The two play for different bands, but are both big names in the city of music.

Most people in the City of Joy could tell from their surnames and appearances that they were sisters.

But not everyone knows.

They are twins.

"Damn...food..."

Hinata pressed down [Bloody Maria] from above, with significantly greater force! Sayo, who was holding [Picking], could only passively resist, but was suppressed by Hinata little by little.

"How... did you get in..."

"Sister, are you asking about the security robots and turrets at the door? I took them apart directly! Rinko's level in fiddling with the network is impeccable, but her level in fiddling with weapons is still a little behind! The time when she fought with Ako was even better - she even made me get a new ankle joint! However, Qiansheng also said that I can't ask for so much this time..."

"Uh!"

Sayo tries to take advantage of a gap in the conversation, slides the gun away, and attacks Hinata!

However, this was also expected by Japanese cuisine!

Dang, Dang!

Hinata held the gun again faster than Saya—

He even pointed the gun at Sayo's chin again!

"Sister is good at mid-range and long-range assaults, not at this kind of close-range hand-to-hand combat~"

Hinata said with a smile.

"…Although, I only use guns in hand-to-hand combat."

"Damn...food..."

Bang!

Bloody Maria fired. The bullet grazed the side of Sayo's cheek as she dodged with all her might, taking away a small portion of the implant's skin.

"Sister, come with me."

Hina said to Sayo in a loving tone.

"Qiansheng said that plan A has failed, so we should switch to plan B."

"Plan B, Yuukina will die."

"Pastel*Palettes is going to war with Roselia."

"Sister, if you stay here alone, you will definitely die."

"Qiansheng has already said that it is not necessary to take my sister's life."

"Let's go."

Hina gave her elder sister instructions like a sister who is simply missing her.

"Sister, leave here and save your life..."

"—I don't have to die, but someone has to die, right?"

Sayo interrupted Hina.

She was completely in a passive state, and all her advantageous positions in close combat were seized by Japan.

But she still had a tense face and showed no sign of backing down.

"Yukina has to die, right?"

"elder sister--"

"What's the difference between Youxi's death and my death?"

Sayo shouted from below.

"I am the leader of Roselia! I was loyal to Yukina Minato before, and I will only be loyal to her from now on!"

"As long as I am alive, as long as I can move a finger - I will not let her fall into danger and leave on her own!"

"Japanese food!"

"Even if I have to attack you for this, I won't show mercy!"

"It doesn't matter if you attack me!" After entering the "fortress", Hina showed an anxious expression for the first time, "It's my sister who doesn't understand what I mean - it's my sister who must survive!"

However, Sayo just gritted her teeth.

"Hina, you've always been like this."

"Always showing up without permission and deciding everything without permission!"

"Because you do something better than me?"

"What are you talking about, sister! What can I do better than you——"

"I was the first to start practicing guitar, but you quickly became better than me!"

"I was also the first to get in touch with firearms..."

"But I have only been able to be a mercenary. As soon as you started training, you were spotted by Bai Lu Qian Sheng and joined a gang-like band!"

"After Poppin' Party discovered the feasibility of the big band era, everyone wanted to squeeze up..."

"Me too!"

"You know how much I want to be in that position!"

"But you got it so easily!"

“You’re always ahead!”

Saya put more strength into her wrist.

The guns crossed and creaked.

"There was a time when I thought I had no value! Nothing left except my guitar!"

"It was Yukina who recruited me! It was Roselia who stood up with me!"

"I won't betray them!"

"—unless death do us part!"

"what are you talking about!"

Hinata became completely agitated. She kept shaking her head to resist Sayo's struggle.

"Sister, you are so weird!"

"Pastel*Palettes was indeed the first band to gain momentum and become overtly commercial, even earlier than Poppin'Party!"

"But, wasn't Pastel*Palettes weakened later because of the agency's affairs?!"

"We were in such a hurry to achieve success that we found a large agency with power beyond our control. The agency tried to rip us off and cheated us on both sides - although we eventually saw through their tricks and brought them down, we also wasted time, resources and energy!"

"Poppin'Party and Roselia rose during this time and became the [original duo], but we were almost not even in the [top five] - if Caicai hadn't risked her life to sneak behind the black wall and save us, we would have been gone long ago!"

"It's the same now! Roselia is definitely stronger when her sister is here!?"

"Hina! That's not the question! You don't understand!"

"I just don't understand! Sister! Sister's shooting skills and guitar skills are definitely very good--"

"——I don't understand! My sister always says she's not as good as me. What on earth is she not as good as me? I have always admired my sister's calm attitude and the clean and accurate tone of her guitar! From childhood to now, it has never changed! I have never felt that there is anything wrong with my sister - I have always liked and admired my sister! Why! Why can't my words reach my sister's heart! Why are we always out of sync - why can't we be like before!"

"Hina! Let go!"

"I won't let go!"

Hinata added strength to her wrist.

"Minato Yukina? Roselia?"

"I don't care about those things!"

"I only know that when a person dies, they disappear! You can't find them anywhere, and there's absolutely no way they'll come back!"

"Cai Cai can't die, and sister can't die either!"

“For this—for this—!!”

"For this, even if it means destroying everything my sister has, I will let her survive!!!"

Bang!

Gunshots rang out.

Chapter 103: Towards the Future

boom!

Bang——Snap!

The most violent impact so far broke the safety valve that fixed the elevator!

Xiangzi, Chuhua, Hailing and Miaomeng felt the elevator begin to accelerate - the car was rubbing against the safety valve - the wheel hub rubbed against the safety valve and sparks flew - the huge vibration made everyone unable to stand and fell to the ground -

however.

chap——

chapped.

Stopped.

The car stopped.

After the elevator squeezed through the broken safety valve, it did not continue to accelerate.

The motivation was gone.

The motor of the lift valve has stopped running.

"Hey... Hey! The automatic control program has also logged out!"

Miao Meng was the first to discover this! Her voice was hoarse, but she still shouted louder than before.

"Hirokyou Sayo's account has been logged out!"

what happened?
