Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Page 171

Before the live show started, the lights were always looking for her!

However, she had not seen Deng for a long time. It seemed that the relationship between Deng and her was very strained. It was said that Deng left without saying goodbye.

I didn’t expect to meet you here!

"...!?"

Xiangzi was visibly startled when she heard Aiyin calling her.

She looked towards Aine in confusion.

“(Eh, don’t you recognize me?)” Aine thought.

MyGO!!!!! is so famous. And I am always with the lights.

“(No, she may not be paying attention to me.)” Aine thought again, “(Deng is always paying attention to her, but she may not always be paying attention to Deng… She just transferred here and has never heard of MyGO!!!!!, so it’s not surprising.)”

"--ah."

not good.

This kind of thing is a minefield.

"(The City of Music also has many complicated interpersonal relationships.)"

Realizing that she had thought of something rude, Aine quickly shut up.

Lixi said that in the City of Music, don’t care too much about other people’s affairs.

Su Shi also felt disgusted to mention this matter again.

Deng said that it was probably because of her—she seemed to still be planning to contact him, but—

“(They’ll want to handle it themselves.)”

Now I just talk to the other person.

Just treat people normally and don't pay attention to other people's private affairs.

"(After all, everyone has one or two things they don't want others to know, right?)"

Aiyin thought about it and ran over and said:

"Hello--"

"Hello?"

Xiangzi responded politely.

She looked at Aine and asked:

"Are you a civilian volunteer assisting the BCPD with the evacuation?"

“Ah, no, no!” Aiyin waved her hands quickly and said, “I came here because I saw you here!”

She looked at Xiangzi and said, "Um... do you want to go find the Super Dream Camera together?"

"..."

Shoko looked at Aine.

Only then did Aiyin notice that she was still wearing the costume she wore during the performance, and there were wounds on her body...

It seems like I'm being treated as a weirdo!

"Sorry, it's so sudden!"

Aiyin said quickly:

"I'm also a student of Hanegaoka! I'm Chihaya Aine from Class 1A."

"Chihaya-san?" Shoko repeated.

“Ah, just call me Aine!” Aine said, “I was doing a live show here today, but this accident happened… Now, I have to record my brain waves at BCPD, but the voltage seems to be a problem again…”

Aiyin ran over and got close to Shoko.

"..."

The closer distance than expected made Xiangzi move slightly.

However, she did not respond any further.

"You're looking for civilian volunteers to assist the BCPD with the evacuation... Could it be that you're also looking for a usable MewDream Recorder?"

Xiangzi nodded.

"I came to RiNG today to buy a new keyboard external synthesizer." Xiangzi said, "But, an accident happened here... The venue exploded."

"The BCPD told me that the entrance and exit I'm at is critical, and they want to record my brain waves. They asked me to find a BCPD member with a dream camera... But it seems that there is no such person around Exit B." Xiangzi showed a troubled expression.

"what."

It turns out he was here to visit a friend.

No wonder they didn’t listen to our performance, Aiyin thought.

"Well, do you want to go look for it together?"

Aiyin invites Xiangzi.

"Ah."

Xiangzi nodded.

"I just saw BCPD personnel carrying the Super Dream Camera going in through the side entrance." Xiangzi said.

"really?"

Aiyin said as she followed Shoko.

The two walked into the venue together.

However, it did not go deep into the venue, in the direction of the performance hall where the explosion occurred, but turned at the side of the gate.

They turned the corner and walked towards the secluded corridor.

I can also hear the noisy footsteps of other people outside the wall...

However, there were not many people inside.

Tread, step.

The footsteps of the two people echoed in the empty corridor.

In addition, there are some "beep, beep" sounds from instruments.

Aine felt somewhat confused.

"Um... is there really anyone here?"

She asked tentatively -

But this time.

Tread, step.

There were footsteps coming up the stairs ahead.

A BCPD member wearing a hat and sunglasses, carrying a MewDream camera, came down from the building.

"Ah, hello."

This is a young female member with blond semi-long hair.

Judging from his uniform, he's a reserve police officer.

"(What a nice voice.)"

Aiyin thought.

There was no sound of electricity either.

No sound boost plug-in installed?

It's amazing that there is such a nice sound without any installation...

While Aine was thinking about these things...

"Injured?" The young BCPD reserve officer looked at the two men and said, "Why aren't they outside?"

"Sorry for coming in without permission." Xiangzi said immediately, "We are witnesses... We want to do a brain imaging scan, but we can't find a place outside that can do it. I heard that the voltage is not enough."

“Ah… I, I’m here to look for you too!” Aine said hurriedly.

"Is that so?" The police officer looked at the two of them and put down the MewDream Camera. "Then I'll do it for you."

"We can do it here! Great!"

Aiyin simply felt happy——she looked at Shoko——

"Thank you! Thanks to you for seeing it just now, otherwise we don't know how long we would have to look for it!"

"fine."

Xiangzi smiled.

……

Beep, beep.

Red jumping waves.

The rays sweep across the back of the head, bringing an itchy sensation.

Aine shrank her neck——but soon realized that she couldn’t interfere with the scan, and dropped her shoulders.

"Sorry." She smiled sheepishly, "This is my first time doing this kind of scan, I'm not used to it..."

“Hasn’t Aine ever had a brain imaging scan before?”

Shoko asked Aine as she was preparing to scan.

"Although this is also the first time I've been scanned while awake, many people in Le City have undergone imaging scans..." Xiangzi said, "After all, incidents happen very often."

"Haha."

Aine scratched her cheek and smiled.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little embarrassed... I've only been in Le City for a few months."

"Have you just arrived?" Xiangzi asked.

“Yeah.” Aine said, “To be honest, I’m not used to it here yet.”

Chapter 26: Ordinary Students and Ordinary Students ( Rewards and More)

"..."

Behind the scenes, the reserve officers of the BCPD were silent, fulfilling their duties diligently.

In front.

Shoko and Aine are having a conversation.

"The City of Joy, it's not easy to get used to it," Xiangzi said. "It's chaotic and noisy, with sounds, lights and people in the dark everywhere..."

Shoko looked at Aine.
