407. Her from a Different World
"I lost."
Hyakka smiled; the result was not unexpected.
With Shuya's abilities, it would be easy for him to know which hole has a problem.
"What is the punishment?"
Shuya stared with dead fish eyes.
"The punishment... is to sing!"
Hyakka declared proudly, "As my childhood friend, I demand the same treatment as Mai!"
"Hesitant mouth."
Shuya had no choice but to agree.
He asked the scholar-official to bring the guitar, and then, under Hyakka's direction, he sang for her during the live broadcast.
I sang every single song for Mai.
Hyakka was very satisfied with Shuya's attitude, and the audience was also very satisfied with what they heard.
Shuya managed to get through the live broadcast unscathed.
"As expected of Shu-chan, the number of viewers exceeded five million in the end."
Hyakka Jiang made a sarcastic remark.
The scriptwriter smiled and said, "How about we make this a regular thing? Like anime broadcasts?"
"This has potential! This has potential!"
Hyakka Jiang, always eager for drama, was stirring up trouble.
I'm busy.
"What are you busy with? You haven't taken on any work. You only have this anime series and the new album on your hands lately, right?"
Hyakka scoffed, "You think you're busier than me? You're just lazy!"
The scholar-officials all nodded in agreement.
If they had Shuya's reputation, they would have been working hard to make money long ago.
They were unaware that Shuya working, and that his identity as the Alliance Leader of the Monster alliance was a secret.
Shuya also had no interest in explaining.
He checked the time; it was already past eight or nine o'clock. His Little Senior Sister had already gone home.
Her daily routine has been incredibly regular lately.
Shuya and Hyakka- chan went out for dinner, then went home to sleep.
"Sleep... um..."
Shuya's eyes looked a little off.
Because his dreams these past few days have been a bit strange.
Section 439, Chapter 407: She from a Different World
Shuya can't remember his dreams very clearly these past few days, but he can still recall parts of them.
There is one person who will definitely appear in his dreams.
It was a girl.
She wasn't everyone he knew, he was certain of that.
Strangely, he felt a sense of familiarity with the other person.
He and she can chat in their dreams, but when they talk about their identities, they get muted, and if they try to touch each other, they are kicked out of the dream.
After Shuya and the girl figured out the rules, he didn't break them again.
They started chatting.
They chatted about random things, mainly about their interests.
Although I've mostly forgotten what we talked about after waking up, the feeling of being kindred spirits and like-minded comrades remains in my heart.
Shuya believed that if he met her in real life, they would definitely become close friends.
He went to bed early tonight, looking forward to seeing her.
Close your eyes, drift off to sleep, and the mist enters your dreams.
Shuya meets with the girl on time.
"Oh, you went to bed early today too?"
"Hey, you going to bed so early means you really like me."
He and she said it at the same time, and then they both plopped down on the ground.
Although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, the familiar aura made them feel as close as half-siblings.
The girl opposite them thought they were siblings.
"So, do you have any intelligence today?"
Did you get any intelligence today?
The two asked the question together, and then said it simultaneously:
"No, I'm at work today."
"No, I had work today."
""Well.""
Shuya sighed along with the girl.
They discussed it and strongly suspected that these were symptoms of Puberty Syndrome.
Someone was having an episode and dragged them down with them.
Shuya thought it was Motoko.
But when they spoke to Tsuruko, she said she saw nothing unusual.
The girl also said she had suspicions—yes, she knew about Puberty Syndrome and had even helped one person with it.
But she also said yesterday that the person who had the suspicion didn't seem to have any problems.
The two didn't believe it entirely; as experienced individuals, they both knew that Puberty Syndrome is imperceptible.
In short, Shuya asked all his friends besides Motoko, and no one seemed to have any problems.
The girl asked her friends the same question.
They couldn't find a solution, so they just chatted today.
"We'll know once the incident happens."
"There's no point in searching for things that happen without warning."
The two of them laughed and declared themselves "salted fish" (a Chinese slang term for someone who is lazy and unambitious).
Then came the self-deprecating chat time.
The two continued to share their experiences.
I can't recall the exact name, but I can briefly describe the event.
Yesterday, Shuya finished talking about his experiences before high school, and now it's the girls' turn to talk.
Her world is different from Shuya's.
There is no Earth Federation on her side, but the Earth Alliance.
It's only a one-word difference, but the content is almost the same. The place she was born in is called Sakura District, which is the same thing as Japan Administrative District.
Then... according to her, her world also has extraordinary powers, but not as powerful as Shuya's world.
Martial artists and superpowered individuals are the majority; gods and Monster do not exist, but some powerful extraordinary individuals claim to be gods or demons to indicate that they are different from ordinary people.
The girl's identity is also not simple.
Although she was born into an ordinary family, she was exceptionally talented. In her childhood, she was taken in as a disciple by a peerless master, and her strength reached a level that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve at such a young age.
She has a long history, having fought against many extraordinary forces in the Sakura District.
She now commands a large following and is one of the hidden giants in the Sakura District.
Furthermore, according to her words, she is surrounded by many top-tier handsome men, and currently has two lovers with whom she has established relationships.
Due to the fog reducing sound, Shuya was a little confused, but he could still understand the general meaning.
"You've had it tough too."
"Same to you."
The girl replied.
I really want to know your name.
I'd also really like to see what you look like.
Shuya and the girl exchanged a smile... Well, they couldn't actually see each other, but they could feel each other smiling.
At this moment, the fog began to swirl.
"Looks like it's time."
Let's talk again tomorrow.
""Bye.""
Shuya woke up.
He opened his eyes, feeling the lingering warmth in his heart, and stretched contentedly.
Motoko opened her eyes.
She had large dark circles under her eyes.
"Hehehe, if only I were that man in my dream, I wouldn't be afraid of men anymore..."
"Man, man, I am a man, man, man, man... Hmph hmph hmph ah ah ah oh oh oh..."
Motoko pressure level: 90%
On Saturday, Shuya continued recording songs.
In the blink of an eye, the Golden Week holiday is almost over.
After working hard for most of the day, Shuya and his Little Senior Sister finally finished creating three songs.
It's because they're processing semi-finished products that it's so fast.
Then Shuya recorded the song under the supervision of his Little Senior Sister. Her requirements were very strict, Shuya hadn't met them by the time he got off work that day, so he had to try again the next day.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
After saying Shuya, Xiu couldn't wait to go home and sleep.
The girl in his dream had a fatal attraction for him.
Shuya felt that it wasn't love, but rather... a mutual appreciation that came from the soul.
He's going to bed earlier and earlier, and the same goes for women.
Around 10 PM that day, Shuya took a shower, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep instantly.
After entering the misty space of the dream, the girl arrived as promised.
The two arrived almost simultaneously, with an error of less than a second.
