Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

When I noticed it, I had been looking at her.

Unlike me, his emotions are shown on his face.

If someone says something bad to you, you will fight back loudly. If someone does something wrong, you will feel sad.

Would life be happier that way?

Hai Ling didn't know.

But she knew one thing.

"What's wrong with wanting to move forward!? What's wrong with wanting to surpass my sister!? Tell me!"

"——You guys who don't want to climb up——Those who have already decided that you can't reach the 'top' before setting out, you have a problem with your brain!"

When Lixi was angry, she felt that something in her heart was being expressed.

……

When she stood in front of her house, Hai Ling looked next door.

There was a red light on Lixi's door, indicating that it was locked.

Hai Ling walked over and knocked on the door.

No one answered the door.

Chapter 1 You are such a person ( rewards for extra chapters)

In a sense, after parting with Hailing, Xiangzi did not go to the place he had expected.

Watanabe.

This neutral unit, which could have been her intelligence point, eventually lost his life in his unreasonable fate.

"..."

Xiangzi felt a little regretful, but now that things had come to this, he could only sigh for him.

However, she didn't have much time to sigh for others.

Because her own head was not securely placed on her neck.

"(Mewtwo Master.)"

Watanabe is dead, but the Mewtwo master tape that was pulled out of Watanabe's mind is still there.

With it, we can execute the next step of the plan.

Time needs to be fully utilized. Xiangzi originally planned to go directly back to Meow Meng's house to discuss with her the matter of the Mewtwo master tape that was pulled out of Watanabe's head.

However, Xiangzi and the car shop owner could not agree on how much compensation to pay for the damaged Kusanagi CT-3X.

Miao Meng, who had no interest in bargaining, yawned and went back first. Xiangzi spent dozens of minutes in the store and finally lowered the price to a price that was said to be "even if a will-o'-the-wisp youth held [Armalite 44] against my forehead, I would not agree to it!"

Xiangzi came out of the motorcycle rental shop with a big sign saying "Integrity Management" feeling tired and with more money.

A lot of time has been wasted.

When I got back, Meowmeng would probably have fallen asleep - after all, she hadn't slept all night. After getting up, I had to consider the re-editing, splitting, and cutting of Mewmeng.

“…There’s not much to do if we go back now.”

Taking a detour doesn’t seem to be a problem.

So Xiangzi went to the underground prosthetic doctor in Pastel*Palettes again and simply treated the various abrasions, bruises and strains on his body that he had sustained during the mission.

The doctor who had implanted the artificial eye for Xiangzi last time was the one who took care of Xiangzi.

This time, he was still as enthusiastic as ever, but he spoke much less when talking about his boss, Yamato Maya.

Xiangzi thought that he might have already known that he had started working with Pastel*Palettes.

Yeah.

At least this way, you won't have to make up excuses for future injuries.

"..."

The next second, Xiangzi realized that he had begun to use "getting hurt" as the premise for his actions, and closed his eyes silently.

The operation went smoothly.

Xiangzi's wound was not so severe that a new epidermal system had to be implanted. The simple repair was completed quickly.

The money he saved at the motorcycle rental shop was all spent here. When he reappeared on the street, Xiangzi looked at the gray card with only a four-digit amount left and fell into deep thought.

Meow Meng's food and lodging... eventually has its limits. Meow Meng will be busy with Watanabe's film next, so she can't take on Mew Meng's editing work. With only money coming in but no money going out, the balance is also a problem.

Want to earn some more?

Pick another place similar to the Walled City where you can make money?

Continue to contact Hai Ling and do some short-term tasks with her?

Or see if there is any underground way to make money...

Xiangzi thought about it and took out her cell phone.

Only then did she realize that she had set her phone to black box mode.

Black box mode is a new gadget in the cyber age, a bit like an upgraded version of the flight mode of the last century. When this mode is turned on, the phone will completely turn into a brick - completely disconnected from the network and radio waves, GPS cannot locate it, and electronic component reconnaissance devices are also difficult to detect it.

The city is not safe if people cannot be located. The law in the city of Le prohibits mobile phone manufacturers from installing this mode in their phones.

But who cares?

As long as it is not installed "in the phone" but downloaded as additional software, there will be no problem.

"…When I was on a mission, I forgot to turn it off to prevent being located."

Xiangzi turned off the black box mode.

The signal indicator flashed. The phone began to connect to the network.

Ding dong, ding dong.

I started receiving messages in my mailbox.

It's all ads.

Logistics advertisement, deleted.

Emotional Interaction Ads, Delete...

"..."

Xiangzi's finger stopped on the next message.

That message was not the product of a mass message from an advertising company.

【Letterer: Ruoye Mutsu】

It was from Mu. The time of the letter was 7 o'clock yesterday evening.

Xiangzi clicked it.

There is only one sentence in it.

【Su Shi wants to see you. 】

"what……"

Xiangzi felt a headache coming on. She put her hands into the roots of her hair and pushed it back.

It's been over a year.

It has been more than a year since I disbanded crychic.

But Nagasaki Suyo hasn't given up yet.

As soon as I left, I was searched for by the other party.

Now, the other party's search frequency has obviously returned to its original level.

Is it because you discovered, in some way, that you have been active recently?

You can continue to hide.

But continuing like this is not an option.

She will continue to move. Her sphere of influence will expand. Su Shi will continue to discover clues related to herself, and her search will not stop.

Moreover, he would always come to find me through my classmate who was still in the same school.

"…It's not possible without a conclusion…"

Xiangzi talked to himself.

She opened Mu's dialog box.

【When? 】 Xiangzi typed.

Mu responded quickly. The dialog box almost immediately changed to "Entering".

【Let’s set a time. 】

Mu sent this message.

【it is good. 】

[However, before meeting Nagasaki Motoyo, let's meet first. ]

【Just the two of us.】

Xiangzi sent three paragraphs.

……

The meeting place was arranged at a cafe in Roselia's territory.

Xiangzi was very familiar with this cafe. She had come here often before she was "purged" and kicked out of the Toyokawa family.

But after that, this was Xiangzi's first time here.

Jingle Bell.

When I opened the door, the pleasant sound of wind chimes rang.

Inside the room, a faint smell of coffee lingers.

This cafe uses a very advanced air purification device. Logically, there should be no odor left during the cooking process.

The faint smell of coffee is an additional fragrance used by the store.

Operations unique to premium stores.

"(Long time no see.)"

Xiangzi thought about it and chose a seat by the window to sit down.

The wind chimes rang again.

Mu arrived on time.

It seems that I remembered the time of her training course correctly, Xiangzi thought, and waved to Mu.

"..."

Mu saw Xiangzi and her expression changed slightly.

"A cup of Ceylon tea and a glass of mango juice."

Xiangzi greeted the clerk, then turned back to Mu and said:

"sit down."
