Chapter 106

Running away will only make you suffer for the rest of your life!

Thinking of this, Amber suppressed her emotions, hugged the black-haired girl in front of her, and said with a silly grin, "Hehehe~ Mei really cares about me the most! As a way of repaying her, I will definitely make Mei happy in the future!"

What now!

Chapter 5 is actually in the anime.

However, just as Amber thought that the other party would definitely be embarrassed now, she saw that Black Amber still had that helpless and indulgent expression, and gently pushed her body away, saying, "There's no need to be so exaggerated. Kiana just needs to take care of herself."

Hmm... why does it feel like the effect isn't good?

Is her acting skill far superior to mine? No, this should fall into the category of mental fortitude.

Amber, realizing that she seemed to have done something futile, was somewhat disappointed. However, since she had already lowered her standards, she naturally felt much lighter. Besides, even the incredibly cute Kiana made such a move, and you didn't even blush? It seems you haven't realized the charm of my two-dimensional wife!

"You said you didn't underestimate me! I'll take good care of both my own happiness and Mei's!"

"Alright, alright, but we can't let our guard down yet. Let's talk about it after we're safe. Right now, we've only dealt with the monsters, but the Evil Organization executives who control them haven't shown up yet."

Still nothing's changed? Am I the only one struggling? But since coming to this world, Black Amber's behavior has been rather strange... Should I call it her attitude towards me... or her tone? In any case, it's quite puzzling.

Her performance still had no effect, and considering that Black Amber was right, Amber temporarily suppressed her thoughts of causing trouble.

She's over two hundred years old, yet she's getting worked up over such a small thing; that's so immature.

After adjusting her mindset, Amber planned to check on the citizens behind her, but before she could turn around, she heard whispers.

'I knew they were a couple; I noticed them when they were shopping before...'

'Yes, yes! But I thought they were bandmates, turns out they're just a couple.'

Being a couple doesn't stop them from being band partners, does it? In fact, this is what makes them even more like band partners, right?

'Can Valkyrie form a band?'

'Why not Valkyrie? And judging from their appearance, they're students. I'd venture to guess they're not only a couple and bandmates, but also school idols, and might even be Magical Girl secretly!'

Hey.

'Where are these buffs stacked?'

Although things seem to have come to an end now... aren't these people being a bit too gossipy and prone to overthinking? Is this what ordinary citizens are like when a children's show and a band anime are combined?

As for being a couple, although it's almost been made clear, it wasn't explicitly stated in the original work... However, to say that Kiana and Mei aren't a couple seems even less convincing.

Shaking her head to stop thinking about it, Amber shouted, "Everyone, don't let your guard down! We're not completely safe yet!"

While it's good to be able to adapt to disasters and quickly provide psychological support, it's not so good to be too out of touch and ignore the risks.

The citizens were clearly well aware of the situation. After the 'hero' announced the end of the intermission, they were once again prepared and urgency to welcome the BOSS's appearance. Their adaptability was excellent, and it was clear that this was not the first time for any of them.

Amber wasn't quite used to their Sichuan opera face-changing act. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she felt the ground shake. Black tentacles, about two meters in radius and hundreds of meters long, kept shooting out from the ground of Shibuya. In the blink of an eye, dozens of tentacles had appeared.

"Hahahaha! Magical Girl! Did you think the attack was over? That was just an appetizer. Now that you've shown up, you're all going to fall here!"

A villainous surround sound echoed over Shibuya, followed by a green-haired woman in a black coat holding a cane appearing in the air not far from the Magical Girl.

"It's Merula from the Evil Organization!"

Immediately, a knowledgeable person in the crowd chimed in, "She's the archenemy of Candy Fantasy!"

"Don't lose, Candy Fantasy!"

Fans of Magical Girl also began to voice their support.

"This is the final battle! Let the enemy see your bond!"

The die-hard fan was moved to tears.

"Trust them. They are Candy Fantasy, the group that has gathered everyone's strength. They can't possibly fall here."

Some people even showed expressions of relief.

Doesn't anyone have any background information? Why is it already the final battle? What happened before?

Amber looked completely bewildered, unable to understand why the atmosphere had suddenly changed. Was the fervor of some casual viewers when she watched anime in the past really so... baffling to those who didn't know the truth?

She didn't know how she spent the next half hour, only that the Magical Girl shouted about friendship and bonds and beat the Evil Organization's Merula to the ground, earning a series of cheers from the onlookers.

It wasn't until the five wounded Magical Girl, their bodies barely concealing glimpses of their cleavage, landed in front of her and expressed their gratitude that Amber realized she wasn't watching anime.

But this really does feel like a 4D experience; no wonder so many people love pink Magical Girl.

Black Amber was already familiar with this world, and responded to their thanks with a calm expression, "No need to be so polite. As Valkyrie, protecting the citizens is our duty."

"The Valkyrie have no True Magic, yet they still stand before people. In truth, you are greater than us."

The pink-clad Magical Girl, clearly the team leader, looked quite emotional.

"Although it cannot compare to True Magic, your power is necessary. Please accept our respect."

The other blue Magical Girl looked solemn.

"Could you tell us your names? To be able to protect so many people, you are undoubtedly outstanding Valkyrie. I will explain your heroic deeds to Chabi, and ask it and Schicksal to explain your achievements. Although you may not need it, we hope you can accept our gratitude to the best of our ability."

The green-clad Magical Girl smiled gently.

Faced with Candy Fantasy's enthusiasm, Amber looked at the black-haired girl beside her. Seeing that she didn't object, she said boldly, "I am Kiana Kaslana, and she is Raiden Mei. We are best friends, and we are not just 'very good,' I will become the strongest Valkyrie in the future!"

The white-haired girl's confident and radiant appearance was clearly very appealing to the Magical Girl. After Amber finished speaking, the Magical Girl became even more enthusiastic, even inviting Amber to visit their agency when she had time. Although they also had their own lives outside of being Magical Girl, Candy Fantasy usually left one person on duty at the agency.

Only after government agencies arrived to understand the situation and took over the follow-up work did the two sides reluctantly say goodbye.

Amber was truly astonished. She had traveled through three anime in a row, but only this world made her feel like she was in an anime.

This world is so interesting!

Chapter Six: Custom Guitars

Despite what had happened, only a little over an hour had actually passed. It was still broad daylight, not even noon yet, so the two of them certainly didn't plan to go back so early.

So the two called a driver and headed to Ochanomizu Musical Instrument Street, which was relatively close and famous. It was also in Tokyo, located in the Chiyoda area, and was considered the largest musical instrument gathering place in Japan. But as its name suggests, it was fine in the ordinary world, but as the world of girl bands, it had an unimaginable popularity and flow of people.

Originally, considering that Black Amber disliked noise, Amber avoided this option at first glance. However, considering that she had made so many embarrassing remarks and the other party was still unmoved, and might secretly laugh at her, Amber decided to just hurt each other.

As Amber had predicted, Shibuya, a popular destination for young people, already demonstrated the large flow of people in a country with a small population, but it still paled in comparison to Ochanomizu Street at that moment.

Most of the girls, in groups of two or more, strolled along the streets, forming a beautiful and youthful scene. They were clearly band members out shopping together. In addition, there were many people who were obviously fans looking around, seemingly hoping for a chance encounter with their favorite band.

"Such a big thing happened not far away, but there's not much of a reaction here..."

After getting out of the car, Amber looked at the bustling street and sighed.

"In this respect, Amemiya City is about the same."

Black Amber, however, seemed quite used to it. "Besides, the people here are more optimistic, or rather, more carefree, than the people from Date A Live. But that's probably related to the inertia of this world."

It's true, the people here always seem like NPCs, their emotions adjust incredibly quickly.

"Let's focus on the task at hand first, rather than those other things."

Black Amber steered the conversation back on track. "Now that we're here, let's tentatively call our destination 'Shimokura'."

"Shimokura?"

"Yes, that's a shop that specializes in high-end custom-made instruments and exquisite second-hand instruments. The staff member, Feng, is highly professional, making it a good place for experienced musicians to exchange ideas. Whether you're looking for advice or instruments, that's the place to go."

Black Amber explained.

'Does she know that much?'

Amber hadn't expected the other party to be so articulate, but upon closer reflection, it seemed that no matter what she wanted to know, Black Amber could provide the answer, as if she had a built-in search engine in her head—but that was obviously impossible.

She just thinks a lot about everything, anticipating the questions she might ask and researching them beforehand.

Although she was used to following Black Amber's lead, Amber felt somewhat embarrassed because of her different mindset at the moment. Although she understood the other person, her understanding seemed to be limited to interpreting her meaning.

Compared to caring about many others, Black Amber has always only cared about herself...

"What's wrong, Kiana? Are you thinking about something?"

Just as Amber was getting a little distracted, the black-haired girl's voice pulled her back to reality.

It's incredibly impolite for one person to be distracted while the other is together. Amber immediately turned her attention back to the other person and laughed awkwardly, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about what to have for lunch!"

"You're already hungry after eating so many snacks and desserts?"

"Well, I just ate and then did some exercise. Vigorous exercise burns a lot of energy!"

The two girls' playful banter wasn't particularly noticeable on the street filled with girls' bands of diverse personalities, and they soon arrived at their destination, lost in the crowd.

Compared to other shops, Shimokura Musical Instrument Store doesn't have a particularly high-end decor, and it even looks a bit old-fashioned. However, this doesn't stop it from having a large number of customers, and there are many people whose attire and demeanor exude elegance as they wander around the store.

After all, it is 100% handmade, and you can choose everything from the shape to the wood used. The shop has many master-level figures in the music industry who have customized it.

Without much thought, the two walked in side by side.

"Welcome! How can I help you?"

Upon seeing them enter, the available shop assistants immediately greeted them with warm smiles and approached the two.

"Thank you. My friend and I would like to order two guitars. Could you show us around the merchandise here?"

Black Amber's smile was impeccable, and her demeanor and expression exuded a strong Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman) aura. She appeared gentle but not weak, and coupled with her exquisite and beautiful face, she immediately won the favor of the shop assistants, who also assessed her as a high-class customer.

This kid is clearly from a wealthy family; he even ordered a custom guitar. His sales are practically guaranteed.

Then, the shop assistant turned his attention to another white-haired girl.

They both have incredibly high looks, comparable to the black-haired girl, but their styles are different. However, this difference in style makes them complement each other perfectly. One is gentle and reserved, while the other is lively and enthusiastic. The perfect contrast makes them look like a perfect match. They must be childhood sweethearts and band partners.

The shop assistant, who had sampled countless girl bands, guessed what was going on in his mind, and became even more enthusiastic on the surface.

Their shop not only customizes guitars, but also buys and sells high-quality second-hand guitars. Whether it's a rare and high-end limited edition, an exquisite and meticulously crafted custom model, or even a guitar that they customized and then bought back, they will all be displayed in their shop.

Their motto is to only produce the best.

Even among fine products, there are different grades. To demonstrate the store's professionalism, the staff will use their experience and expertise to guide customers to different display stands. For the two people in front of them, the staff did not hesitate to lead them to the most high-end batch of guitars in the store.

Custom-made guitars cannot be completed in just a few days. Before formal discussions, letting customers experience the shop's standards firsthand is also part of the staff's job.

"Gentlemen, these are custom-made guitars from our store. Most of them were sold back by their previous owners, but that doesn't mean they have any quality defects. You'll understand once you use them yourself."

The salesperson spoke with pride, clearly taking great pride in his work and the quality of the guitars sold there.

"Then I'll give it a try!"

This was the first time Amber had seen so many different kinds of guitars. Compared to these guitars, the one that Miku had given her before was more in line with her impression of a guitar.

Picking up a black and white guitar at random, Amber thought for a moment and started playing Miku's character song, Monochrome. The melody and rhythm of the song were not difficult, because it was Miku's most important and favorite debut song, so when teaching Amber instruments, she used this song as the score.

"... It really feels good?"

Amber didn't really notice it, since even including that, she had only ever used two guitars.

Why is it a question?

The shop assistant tilted her head, but before she could figure it out, she saw a girl with long light blue hair walk past her and look at the white-haired girl with surprise.

"Wow, amazing! Mu! You're just as good as me! Not a single off-key note or mistake!"

Chapter Seven: Sakiko and Mu.

"Um... hello?"

At first, Amber didn't realize that the girl in front of her was Shoko Toyokawa. After all, there are indeed many beautiful girls in this world, and their hair is all different colors. Although Sakiko's appearance is still considered outstanding among the beautiful girls, there are certain differences between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds.

However, it's easy to identify the number after hearing the word 'harmony'.

Does the Sakiko in front of me look like the one before he ran away from home? It's hard to tell, since Sakiko maintained a relatively good attitude for a period of time after running away from home.

"My... I'm sorry to interrupt you. Hello, I apologize for interrupting you. I am Shoko Toyokawa, and this is Mutsuki Wakaba."

Realizing what he had just done, Sakiko awkwardly composed himself and then introduced himself and the Green-haired Girl beside him.

The girl, known as Mutsuki Wakaba, had little expression on her face, but she nodded politely to the two of them as Shoko Toyokawa introduced her.

"It's alright! I play very well anyway, it's normal to be attracted!"

Amber didn't mind Sakiko's interruption, of course. After all, she had already finished playing, and Xiangzi wasn't interfering with her while she was playing.

"You two are junior students from Moonlit Forest, right?"
