Chapter 105

Seeing this, Black Amber's smile deepened, and combined with Mei's impression of Amber, she suddenly appeared exceptionally gentle.

Fortunately, Amber knew that both of them were masters of character portrayal and that the person behind the character couldn't be confused with the character.

That being said, Mei is indeed very beautiful. This kind of mature girl with a bit of a wife-like feel is quite attractive to Amber.

There were no servants or butlers in the villa, so there was no need to worry about what others would think of the situation of 'two strangers in the room'. Black Amber, who had already made thorough preparations, took out two cell phones without passwords and a credit card belonging to 'Kiana'.

As for what to wear when going out, neither of them really had a choice, since they definitely couldn't fit into Theresa's clothes. They could only wear the classic skin that came with their Character Card, which was the white and purple school uniform that came in two different colors, even though they were from the same school.

[Character Card: Kiana Kaslana (Third Collapse), Character Card: Raiden Mei (Third Collapse)]

Since Amber's power no longer required Character Card enhancements, Black Amber suggested that there was no need to waste too much recognition points on card draws. Even after spending a century in the Date A Live World and becoming famous worldwide, constantly gaining countless recognition points, Black Amber's thought was still 'just open a character collection.'

After all, it's uncertain whether there will be any outrageous character upgrades in the future. Keeping your reputation points won't depreciate them; it's only depreciation that happens when you pull for items that don't benefit you.

Pushing open the front door in the entryway, the sunlight naturally shone on her. Without the feeling of being constantly respected and noticed by those around her, as she had in the previous world, Amber felt completely relaxed.

"Where should we go first? Is the geography here the same as the place where the battle was fought?"

"Although they are all from the same country, there are still big differences."

Unlike Amber, who immediately flashed a bright smile, Black Amber had long since lost interest in this world. Her smile was gentle as she continued, "However, Kiana, don't you feel like you've forgotten something?"

Kiana?

Amber didn't react for a moment. There was no one else around, so how did she suddenly enter 'role-playing' mode?

"Have you forgotten what you promised me? You need to be more serious about following the character's persona."

Black Amber's smile remained unchanged, yet it inexplicably made Amber feel somewhat weak.

After thinking about what Kiana would probably do at this moment, Amber turned around and took Black Amber's arm. "I... let's go! Mei!"

As Kiana's outrageous remarks from her early days flashed through her mind, Amber felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be that Black Amber had been doing meaningless things all along, harboring resentment, and wanted to see her make a fool of herself for amusement?

Although her scalp tingled, Amber had made a promise after all, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.

——

In Chapter Three, the Evil Organization is as numerous as stray dogs on the roadside.

Although Amber's villa area wasn't exactly far from the city, it was certainly on the outskirts. The environment was quiet and the air was fresh, but if you wanted to get to the commercial area, you'd need a vehicle. Although the villa didn't have any servants, the property management could easily provide a driver. After Amber made a phone call, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, dressed impeccably, arrived at the villa.

I drove a simple black minivan and arrived in Shibuya half an hour later.

Although Shinjuku, a high-end commercial area, sounds more in line with the young lady's status, Amber still prefers the atmosphere of Shibuya based on her experience in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Besides, since we've come all this way to the world of girl bands, wouldn't it be a waste not to experience being in a band? Speaking of which, I wonder if Kurashiku is still alive.

The modern urban atmosphere was something Amber had long missed. After all, the previous world had such convenient things as the Manifestation Device. As time went by, the Manifestation Device and the Imaginary Domain became more and more advanced, and human development also made great strides. When Amber left, Schicksal was no longer the only island flying in the Sky Manipulation.

The bustling streets and the world where you could inexplicably spot a bunch of beautiful girls at any glance gave Amber plenty of novelty.

Especially when she was Yulande, she had to constantly control her diet and sleep schedule. Now that she was in a completely liberated Amoeba state, Amber completely let herself go.

Shibuya, a symbol of youth, is never short of delicious food and snacks that young people love. Crepes, egg tarts, takoyaki, taiyaki—after walking only a few dozen meters, Amber saw many things that she longed for but couldn't eat in the last world.

"Mei! This is so delicious! You should have a bite!"

"I feel like there's not enough sugar in this marshmallow. What do you think, Mei?"

"Ugh! Why is the line so long?!"

The two figures, one in dark and one in light, moved through the streets, attracting curious glances from many people who wondered if they were some unfamiliar teenage idols or members of some girl band. After all, even in a world where everyone is good-looking, Kiana and Mei could easily stand out.

A vibrant, white-haired girl who looks like a foreigner, and a black-haired girl who always follows behind her with a look of helplessness and gentleness on her face—such a perfect combination, coupled with their outstanding looks, makes not only passersby but also many talent scouts ready to approach and chat them up.

Being able to eat as much unhealthy food as she wanted almost brought tears to Amber's eyes. She had been too disciplined in her previous world and had almost forgotten what these foods tasted like. She had come to buy musical instruments, but after tasting the junk food, she couldn't help but open her mouth.

"After eating so many sweets and snacks, I won't be able to eat a proper meal later."

The black-haired girl sighed as she approached the music store.

"It's okay, I can eat as much as I want!"

Amber didn't expect her to bring this up. After all, both her own and Kiana's constitutions are very energy-intensive. She could replenish her energy directly, while Kiana mostly relied on food.

Describing them as "big eaters" is no exaggeration.

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Black Amber was aware of this, but her expression was indulgent, as if she had accepted his unreasonable behavior.

Although Amber was well aware of Black Amber's regard and care for her, Black Amber had always downplayed these things with an indifferent tone and expression, and then it was Amber who brought them up herself. Amber had long been used to Black Amber's lack of frankness.

This was the first time Amber had ever seen anything like this, and it made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

So she subconsciously looked away and changed the subject. "Oh... right, we were saying we'd try out a band, but we haven't assigned seats yet, have we? Mei, do you have any favorite instruments?"

Black Amber replied naturally, "As for musical instruments... I really like the piano, drums, and guitar."

Anything but bass is fine.

Amber wholeheartedly agreed, "Me too... but if I'm playing guitar, I should be the lead singer, right?"

"Kiana would be dazzling as the lead singer."

"Huh? I can't do it, Mei, you should do it! But wait! There are only two of us now, and we're not in a rush to find a lead singer, are we? We should decide on the instruments first!"

Seeing that Black Amber was rather casual about the position, Amber simply spoke up first, "I learned guitar when I helped Miku rehearse before, so I'll choose guitar."

"Then I'll choose a guitar too."

Black Amber nodded, then asked the shop assistant who had been watching for a while, "May I take a look at guitars that suit us? Please don't worry about the price."

Oh, rich people.

The shop assistant nodded, not too surprised. After all, it was clear from their conversation that choosing a seat so casually meant either they didn't know the price of the instruments or they didn't care about the price. Plus, the white-haired girl was clearly a foreigner, so it was normal for her to be a rich young lady who had gone abroad.

"Okay, please come this way...!"

The sudden, violent tremor nearly caused the shop assistant to lose her balance and fall, followed by a continuous stream of terrified screams from outside.

Something happened on my very first day here?

Amber looked at the black-haired girl beside her with a somewhat blank expression.

It's normal to run into trouble. In this world, every city has its own Evil Organization. Their attacks are as frequent as stray dogs on the street, and it's not surprising to see one every day.

"You two! Come with me right now, the shelter is this way!"

The shop assistant, who had just regained his footing, saw that the two of them didn't seem flustered at all, and thought they were just stunned, so he quickly spoke up to remind them.

"We don't need to, you should go and take refuge first."

Seeing how frightened she was, Black Amber comforted her.

This behavior, which was not quite in line with her own personality, made Amber take a second look at her. Perhaps it was because of the previous reminder that Amber, who would not have paid much attention to Black Amber's 'playing', had become more concerned. Even though the other person often said things that were not in line with her personality when she played Shier in the past in order to maintain the persona, Amber did not pay much attention to it at the time.

"No... no, that won't do! There's definitely danger outside. I'm the manager of this shop. Although it's not as good as a proper shelter, I've survived many disasters here. It'll be fine!"

The shop manager clearly didn't want the two of them to go out like that. Although she seemed eager to leave, she couldn't bear to watch them go out and take such a risk.

Seeing this, Black Amber looked at Amber, seemingly expecting her to say something definitive.

... Okay, shall we perform the most ridiculous episode yet?

Swallowing hard, Amber flashed a bright and confident smile, then pulled out a baseball bat from somewhere. "I'm going to be the strongest Valkyrie in the future! Whether it's the people outside, or you, I'll protect you! Shopkeeper, you can go and take refuge without worry!"

Chapter Four: White Hair Begins His Counterattack.

Although the situation was still chaotic, the shop manager had begun to see things more clearly. The two girls in front of him did not seem to be foolish children who had lost their minds, but rather a special group of people who were calm and composed in the face of danger.

Adding the words 'Valkyrie' made the shop manager instantly understand.

"I'm going to take refuge now, you all be careful!"

Knowing that he wouldn't be of much help by staying, the shop manager said nothing more and ran straight to the room inside the shop.

After persuading the concerned citizens to leave, the two stepped out of the shop together. Before they could even assess the situation, they saw a giant wolf with reddish-brown fur, as tall as a person, rushing towards them.

"Hey!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the baseball bat traced a yellow-black arc in Amber's hand, and the sound of bones shattering rang out. The giant wolf, which looked to weigh over two hundred pounds, was sent flying even faster the moment it jumped. The speed at which it flew and the girl's effortless movements made one wonder if the wolf and the baseball were the same weight if it weren't for the concrete wall that was smashed by the giant wolf's body.

"Mei! Let's go!"

Amber shouted and ran straight towards the giant wolf that was chasing the citizens. The baseball bat in her hand carried an unstoppable force and slammed into the giant wolf's head. Its originally fierce expression turned into a dull and stupid look after this blow. With a lot of bleeding in its brain, it fell down without making a sound.

It's not that Amber can only use this much force, but she has to consider the ability of the young people around her to withstand it, not only whether they can withstand the wind pressure brought by the enormous force, but more importantly, the level of gore.

But Amber was clearly overthinking it. The defeated giant wolf quickly turned into a pool of black liquid, which then immediately vaporized without a single drop of blood oozing out.

"Thank you... thank you!"

Although the two girls who were rescued were still a little scared, they were still rational enough to express their gratitude.

Amber looked around again. The scene was chaotic. People were fleeing in panic, and wolf-like monsters were scattered all around, making it impossible to find a good escape route.

"You all stay behind me, I will protect you!"

Amber, who had killed the monster with a single blow, said this, and the two girls naturally nodded in agreement. The white-haired girl in front of them didn't seem like Magical Girl; she should be Valkyrie of Schicksal? But she looked so young, still like a student.

"Okay!" X2.

She's not Magical Girl, but she's so cute! A pink Valkyrie wouldn't be bad either!

Taking in the situation on Amber's side, Black Amber sighed, casually took out a Soshu Muramasa from her backpack, and without hesitation, sliced the giant wolf that had run into her from top to bottom in two.

These monsters have no internal organs or blood. As monsters formed from magic, they don't even have thoughts; they only follow the commands of their creator.

While they pose a significant threat to ordinary citizens, they seem far too weak, both for themselves and Amber, even considering the strength of their Character Card.

Despite both Character Card being from the Third Collapse era, their control over their powers and the use of energy far surpass that of Kiana and Mei back then. In fact, Kiana could potentially Herrscherization at any time.

For Amber, who had already experienced many battles, these monsters were not even as strong as Cursed Spirit. No matter how many there were, they were just small fry that could be killed one by one.

As the white-haired girl continued to clear monsters from the streets, many fleeing citizens noticed her activity. Even the sports students, who were confident they could still run and didn't want to burden the girl, joined the survivors after she shouted, "Come to my side!"

The exact number of monsters is unknown. In less than five minutes, Amber had crossed several streets, and the group behind her was already densely packed. However, she could still see monsters attacking ordinary people ahead.

As the number of people increased, and Amber's performance of taking down enemies one by one like a war goddess, the panicked crowd behind her gradually calmed down and even had time to watch the drama unfold.

"Is that girl a new Magical Girl? She's so cute!"

"And she always seemed so energetic... which calmed my initial anxiety a lot..."

"It's probably not Magical Girl, right? After all, Magical Girl use baseball bats and stuff..."

"That's the Valkyrie? But she looks so young... and is the Valkyrie really that strong?"

"I feel like I'm going to jump over the wall. From now on, I want to exclusively pursue this white-haired girl!"

As one of the most bustling areas in Tokyo, Shibuya's situation could not be ignored, especially since Tokyo also has many powerful Magical Girl residing there. Just as Amber was preparing to continue dealing with the monsters, she saw five figures of different colors streak across the Sky Manipulation.

"It's Magical Girl! The color and the way she appears remind me of Candy Fantasy!"

Ah... speaking of which Magical Girl are quite common in this world.

Realizing this too late, Amber didn't stop, easily turning the two monsters in front of her into slimes that flew everywhere.

As the Magical Girl appeared, colorful light gathered above their heads, then transformed into hundreds and thousands of magical beams that automatically flew towards all the monsters in Shibuya.

"It's here! It's the 'Super Colorful Magic Flash' that can only be used when all the members of Candy Fantasy are together!"

... It really does have Magical Girl.

Moreover, the strange phenomenon of passersby being in the mood to explain and popularize knowledge immediately after being rescued raises the question: are they just too skilled at it, or is this simply the way the world is...?

Amber wasn't used to this 'Magical Girl' style of work, or rather, the worldview of a children's work, but seeing that they still had the mood to explain and were going crazy about Magical Girl was indeed much better than the lifeless atmosphere.

Kiana, are you alright?

Black Amber's voice came from the side.

Following the sound, he saw a black-haired girl with a worried expression running up to him.

"How could a monster of this level possibly harm me? Mei, you underestimate me!"

"It's not that I'm underestimating them, but although these monsters aren't dangerous to Kiana, you 'Kiana always reckless and careless, and something unexpected might happen..."

No way! If I hadn't known beforehand, Amber would have really thought that the person in front of me was Mei herself! With that concerned tone and that face, Kiana, you're really enjoying yourself!

Feeling like she'd been dealt a heavy blow, Amber tried to look away, but she was the one who embarrassed herself first several times in a row... even though she used to have the upper hand!
