Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

Chapter 4 Cyberpsychopath

Succumbing to pain

The bathtub was filled with ice cubes. Goto Ichiri, wearing a swimsuit, dipped his toes into the water and then pulled them back. With a resolute will, Goto Ichiri immersed himself completely in the tub.

“Another 20 minutes…Another 20 minutes…”

【Goto Ichiri's eyes were lifeless, and his face was ashen.】

[The screen changes. 】

"I'm just now getting a fever..."

[In a dimly lit room, Goto Ichiri, wearing a mask, lies under the covers, coughing weakly.]

At the Shimokitazawa Performance Hall STARRY, Ijichi Hongka was shocked by the scene on the screen: "Po, Pochi-chan!"

Kita Ikuyo asked in astonishment, "Does Goto-san have the habit of taking ice baths?"

Yamada Ryo said: "It's a strange hobby."

Goto Ichiri's face was filled with panic: "Ah, ah...that..."

In order to avoid working part-time at the exhibition hall, she deliberately took an ice bath to catch a cold. Is such a thing allowed?

How could I possibly say that!

Goto Ichiri shouted in his heart.

Ijichi Hongxia asked curiously, "But the title this time is also strange. Succumbing to illness, everyone does that, right? There's no need to single it out."

Ijichi Xingge tilted her head, put her hand on her cheek, stared at the video, and said calmly: "Maybe Pochi used to be a very strong person who was not afraid of pain?"

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Goto Ichiri shook his head violently.

[Not respected by my sister]

In the bathroom, Goto Ichiri combs his curly hair. His younger sister, Goto Jiri, appears from the doorway and says with a grin, "Thank goodness your cold is gone."

Goto Ichiri responded listlessly: "Ah, yeah."

"Or do you think it would be better to take a few days off from school and not go to school because you have a cold?"

Goto Ichiri complained: "Not good at all."

"Why? Don't you always want to take a day off?"

“I don’t like going to school, but if I miss a day, I’ll be forgotten by my classmates.”

Goto Jiri said innocently, "Yeah, you're really hard to deal with, sis."

[Goto Ichiri paused, and Goto Jiri immediately slipped away.]

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How could I possibly forget?"

"I will always remember the girl who requested a song during lunch break."

"Goto Ichiri, I'm going to crush your skull... You can't forget it."

"No one approaches her because they're scared! Girls who play death rock are super scary."

……

People at Xiuhua High School complained a lot.

Goto Ichiri is the only one in the history of Xiuhua High School who would request a death metal song during lunch break.

The name of social terrorist Goto Ichiri is destined to go down in the history of Xiuhua High School.

[Being carried away by praise]

Ichichi Nikka: "You're the biggest contributor today."

Yamada Ryo: "Thanks to you, the band is able to make a comeback."

[Kita Ikuyo: "Thank you, Goto-san."]

"Ah, no... I didn't do anything serious."

"Keep praising me!"

Goto Ichiri rubbed the back of his head, his eyes drifting upwards, and he began to grin smugly.

"No matter how you look at it, you feel like you've done something great, right?"

"Goto-kun always reveals his true feelings."

Goto Ichiri's head was almost hidden inside his clothes.

You don't notice it when you're getting carried away, but as a bystander, you can tell that steam is about to come out of Goto Ichiri's already shy head.

【Daily epilepsy】

"Let's get high! Another tequila, bro."

[In the bedroom, Goto Ichiri wore strange sunglasses and danced around, his strange postures resembling those of an ancient sacrificial ritual.]

"That's not right! This isn't sunshine at all, it's just partying."

Goto Ichiri quickly stopped his crazy behavior, took off his sunglasses, took out a selfie stick, and continued to act crazy.

"Self-suggestion doesn't work. Let's become Kita-san. Anyone who wants to go to Shibuya today, gather here. This is a famous spot for taking beautiful photos. In ten minutes, fireworks will be launched. Let's take a photo together..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

At the STARRY performance hall in Shimokitazawa, everyone looked at each other, and they could see the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"I'm socially dead... From now on, this is my eternal home."

Goto Ichiri squatted in the trash can again. His body curled up in the trash can seemed to have been burned out, and his eyes were empty, as if he was dead.

Ijichi Kouka couldn't comfort Goto Ichiri.

After this video was broadcast, although Goto Ichiri was still alive physically, he no longer had a place in society.

Ijichi Hongxia could only look at the screen, hoping for a turnaround.

[“Look.”]

On a street in Shimokitazawa, the four members of the band Ties gathered for a group photo. Kita Ikuyo pulled out her phone and showed the photos from her social media account to Ijichi Nikka, Goto Ichiri, and Yamada Ryo.

"Oh wow, you're worthy of being the SNS manager."

[Goto Ichiri suddenly fell into a near-death state, collapsed to the ground, and his body convulsed violently.]

Kita Ikuyo panics: "Goto-kun, what's wrong with you? Don't die!"

"I've never taken a photo with my friends because I don't have any. The only photos I have of people other than my family are class photos. Those are the only proof that I've lived for 15 years."

[The soul spewed out from Goto Ichiri's mouth and floated into the sky.]

"I...I'm Nozuchi Snake from Shimokitazawa."

[Goto Ichiri's eyes were hollow, and he was rocking back and forth with his arms around his legs.]

As his condition worsens, Goto Ichiri transforms into a television screen with severely interfered signals, his body twitching at such a speed that it leaves afterimages.

In the Far East Magic Nap Club's summer classroom, Togashi Yuuta opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Wait! Is this really something a human can do?!"

Rikka Takanashi said excitedly: "Yuta! Yuta! It's the lonely witch. The lonely witch has suffered a mental blow from the hateful witch of light!"

Sanae Touma swung her sandbag-like twin ponytails with high morale, her eyes piercing as she stared at Goto Ichiri, who had become a phantom on the phone screen: "Master! It's our comrade Death, who's trapped by the Demon of Light!"

Nibutani Morika couldn't control her hands and could only press them under her buttocks. She couldn't help but think: "If there are such supernatural phenomena in the world, could there be spirits? Could I have been a real magician in the past?"

Is it or is it not?

Although he can do magic, he's probably better at swordsmanship.

Chapter 5 Bozrah

[Mental breakdown will lead to degeneration into Godzilla]

[In a gray and white world, a wild hammer snake crawls on the ground.]

As golden light descended from the distance, the Nohammer snake's body gradually expanded, transforming into a humanoid giant several dozen meters tall. It spewed beams of light from its mouth, destroying the city.

Suddenly, the whole world was shocked.

"real or fake?"

"really?"

"Is this Godzilla?!"

"Surely there's something wrong?"

……

Anyone who saw this video couldn't help but look surprised and doubtful.

If it was just a special effect, it would be fine. But if it was real, wouldn’t it mean that there was a humanoid monster lurking in Tokyo that could destroy Tokyo at any time?

At the Prime Minister's official residence, the Prime Minister made a phone call without hesitation: "Cancel the operation! Cancel the operation immediately! Protect Goto Ichiri, don't let anyone provoke her!"

Prior to this, the Prime Minister had already ordered an investigation into Goto Ichiri.

After confirming that there was no problem with Goto Ichiri's background, the public security was dispatched to control Goto Ichiri first.

Who could have imagined that a video like this would be played.

The urgent order was passed down quickly, and the public security officers who had already arrived in Shimokitazawa looked at each other in confusion.

They immediately changed their action plan from controlling Goto Ichiri to preventing all outsiders from approaching the STARRY performance hall in Shimokitazawa.

Several onlookers were already standing at the door of the exhibition hall. They pushed the door open and stepped half a foot in, only to be pounced upon by a group of police officers as ferocious as wolves and tigers, who lifted their limbs and threw them far away.

Yidizhi Xingge looked at the door of the exhibition hall with an expressionless face. She didn't know what expression to make.

She could still protect her children in other matters, but the situation had obviously gone beyond her expectations.

Yuya Kazami, who was standing outside the door, adjusted his glasses, nodded to Ijichi Seika with an unnatural expression, then walked out and closed the door.

Goto Ichiri quietly poked his head out of the trash can, his eyes sparkling.

Even if you turn into a monster, it won't be worse than social death.

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly asked, "We haven't experienced this video before. Could it be in the future? When we take band photos in the future?"

Yamada Ryo said thoughtfully: "According to the order, the next step is to take the image photo."

Kita Ikuyo asked in surprise: "Could this video really predict the future?"

Ijichi Hongxia scratched her hair and said, "Hmm...it seems that there was a sneak photographer before."

In comparison, it is better to have a voyeur.

Yamada Ryo said calmly: "If you are a voyeur, you should target me."

Kita Ikuyo nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled bitterly and said, "Ryo... I wish you could share some of your confidence with Pochi-chan."
