Chapter 395

So, who exactly saved her?

"Hmm? It's you again?"

Thousand Sins blinked.

Before her stood the Black Death Cult officer, whom she remembered fighting alongside them against the enemy several times.

I remember it was called Ash Apostle, right?

At this moment, the Apostle named Sha Qina was desperately holding onto the Malicious Apostle was resisting madly.

"What do you mean, 'It's me again'?"

To be honest, Thousand Sins felt a bit of warmth towards this Apostle this time.

Because they remembered a long time ago, when they couldn't defeat the Chameleon, it was this Apostle and the Malicious Apostle who suddenly appeared and helped them out of their predicament.

Is this guy really a villain?

Why is it that in my memory, this woman is always rescuing people?

Meanwhile, the villainous female general Sha Qina, was completely unaware of the impolite thoughts that the Magic girl, Thousand Sins, was having.

She was struggling to keep up with her colleague and senior colleague.

"You idiot, I thought you ran off somewhere, but where did you go? Calm down!"

Unexpectedly, her colleague had been manipulated.

Where did all these Magic girl Star Flower come from?

Even all the Black Death Cult Monster wouldn't be a match for them.

"Excuse me, Miss Sha Qina of the Black Death Cult."

Beside them, Thousand Sins very obediently and politely joined the conversation.

"How?"

Sha Qina seemed to have gained the upper hand in her battle against her senior with ease.

She even had the time to communicate with Thousand Sins with ease.

"How did you get in? Did that Blue Dream Apostle help you open the door to this world last time?"

Thousand Sins noticed.

This is essentially the same thing as the "World Apart" created by the Blue Dream Apostle before.

If that's the case, it's not surprising that Sha Qina was able to get in.

"Huh? No, the person who opened the door for me was... cough cough, let's not talk about that. What trouble have you run into that brought you to this place?"

Mentioning this, Thousand Sins looked again at the giant tree that was particularly conspicuous in this world.

"Our companion Star Flower, is in danger. I have to find her in this godforsaken place."

"Star Flower?"

Sha Qina looked up and saw countless Star Flower.

Uh... that's obvious at a glance.

Where did all these Magic girls who look so much like Star Flower come from? It's really quite frightening.

Honestly, how am I supposed to find this?

The addition of female officers and the arrival of the Magic girl Shadow Moon seem to have brought the Magic girls a brief respite, but compared to the waves of enemies hidden in the World Apart, all of this seems to be just a drop in the ocean.

The mastermind behind this seems to have yet to reveal themselves.

So, what kind of nightmare is the real Star Flower now trapped in?

---Inside the giant tree.

The girl was still trapped among the vines, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelids trembling uncontrollably, as if she were trapped in an unsettling and bewildering dream.

The bright Pendulum on her neck shone with a dim light, like ink splashed into clear water.

Countless bubbles floated around her.

Some of them showed scenes from her dreams, while others depicted Magic girls battling in World Apart.

Tachibana watched the scenes unfold within the bubbles.

When she noticed an unexpected presence—an Apostle named Sha Qina —who had somehow opened the door to World Apart and entered, she showed a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Who could have helped her get in?

Could it be that Lily, who has already lost her memory, still possesses this power?

But clearly, she hasn't seen the child yet.

But since it hasn't arrived yet, it's too late.

Thinking this, she raised her hand and reached for the bubble that represented Sakaki Chika's dream. As the light bathed her fingertips, the scene from the dream began to appear again.

Unbeknownst to her, a tiny bubble, emitting a faint glow, was quietly merging into the bubble that belonged to the girl's dream.

Chapter 159 Snowy Day and Graduation Idol

Throughout her childhood memories, Haihara has always been a rather boring person.

When she was in school, she could never keep up with her classmates' conversations.

Compared to dating or popular celebrities, she prefers watching really bad and vulgar horror movies alone.

But to be honest, she didn't find these things particularly interesting herself.

Naturally, they couldn't recall the names of the popular idols at the time.

She was far removed from the world of idol worship.

If I had to say, she would occasionally be interested in some obscure singers whose identities she didn't even know.

In a corner of the album store, there are only one or two albums by unknown singers.

Sometimes I think this person or that person has a really nice voice.

But because they weren't popular, no one knew what they looked like. After these people gave up their dreams, Haihara had no way to contact them anymore.

That's a real shame.

That's really taken a bit too far.

Just now, Haihara only had a dream like this, it was unclear and left her head feeling dizzy.

When she opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the noisy voices of the people around her.

"Here it is..."

She murmured incoherently.

She lifted her glasses, rubbed her eyes, and could still hear those enthusiastic voices.

These sounds are easy to understand.

It's the kind of enthusiastic cheering from fans for the idols they support.

It's strange that such a voice, so completely out of place in her life, would appear in her world. But rather than saying these voices are strange, it's more accurate to say that Haihara herself is out of place.

Why am I here?

As drowsiness slowly faded, Haihara Lily Chou opened her eyes and looked at what seemed to be a cool, foreign object in her hand. The first thing she saw was a shiny pink thing.

"... Pendulum?"

Why is she holding something like that?

When did this happen?

Haihara felt like she couldn't remember anything, as if she had been dreaming for too long.

It's not just this one thing.

There's another sign with the same color.

I was still very sleepy, so I couldn't see or understand the words written on it.

And there are even stranger things.

That is, she herself is now in a place that looks like a performance venue, surrounded by many fans holding glow sticks or light boards, and Haihara Lily Chou herself is one of them.

However, the faces of the cheering fans were blurred.

Like a dream, hazy and indistinct.

I could barely make out the name they were saying: Tachibana Aeruru.

"Why does this sound familiar? Where have I heard it before?"

Haihara Lily Chou felt she had heard this name before.

It's quite cute; it's probably a stage name.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Haihara Lily Chou quickly figured it out.

I guess I came here just to see this idol.

It seems to be very popular.

By the way, let's search for it.

The signal inside the performance venue was not very good. It took Haihara a long time for her phone to load before information about "Tachibana Aeruru" appeared. As for news about today's performance, she had to search for a while in related keywords before she could find it.

It doesn't seem to be the kind of product that's particularly popular.

"Popular idol Tachibana Aeruru from Star Flower Agency will conclude her performances today at the Maple Plain Theater."

Star Flower Agency, huh? There's such a place.

It seems she made it to the last day of the performance.

Taking advantage of the fact that she had turned on her phone, she used the light from the phone to see what was written on the pink tag.

The above content is as follows.

It looks like a wishing plaque.

Wishing everyone all the best and happiness, and also hoping that I, as an idol, will graduate smoothly.

That's roughly the gist of it.

... Idol graduation?

What a coincidence!

Haihara Lily Chou isn't particularly interested in idols, and she probably isn't interested in which idol has graduated either.

Especially idols that everyone knows.

Rather, Haihara finds it rather amusing to see so many people saddened and suffering because of this.

But it seems that the idol performing this show isn't very popular.

Compared to the super-popular idols in TV dramas, the number of people in this venue, while not small, didn't seem too crowded.

With these thoughts in mind, Haihara was still thinking about all sorts of random things when she noticed that the surrounding noise had quieted down a bit. She subconsciously looked up and saw that the curtain on the stage had opened.

When the curtain rises on the dark stage, revealing a figure that is both visible and hidden, it does indeed generate a sense of anticipation.

This happened quite suddenly.

Before Haihara could react, the lights suddenly came on, and the surrounding fans cheered even more enthusiastically.

---And the figure of her idol also came into view of Haihara Lily Chou.

The world after the lights are turned off is usually just a flurry of glow sticks.

But when that idol appeared, the performance venue was left with only one color.

"Intermission is over. Now, Ailulu's performance continues. We hope you all enjoy it."

"And remember to smile."

She was a girl who could rival the beauty of Morning Flowers.
