"This is what I have to say. As a reserve army against Noise, you’re secretly participating in this suspicious event held by a talking giraffe. What are you thinking?"
"............"
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s questioning, Hoshimi Junna hesitated for a mont.
"I just want to catch my star."
"Aren’t you afraid of being tricked?"
"I’ve made up my mind!"
"Haah..."
Hearing her stubborn response, Duanmu Huai sighed silently. He finally understood why giraffes or those damn white rats always liked to recruit teenage girls for pyramid sches. Girls of this age are just too easily deceived, much like those girls tricked by blondies, always chasing after abstract concepts like self, freedom, and goals.
To this end, they even ignore the risks behind it...
Whether it’s the students participating in this RAVUE or the girls tricked by those damn rats into signing contracts to beco Magic Girls, it all cos down to one thing — they’re easy to fool.
But co to think of it, even simple and stupid phone scams can trick people, so it’s not really surprising.
"Truly stupid."
Duanmu Huai sighed silently.
"I’ll give you a chance to forfeit now, leave here, and never join again. If you do, I can forgive you."
".........What if I refuse?"
"Heh........."
Facing Hoshimi Junna’s stubborn retort, Duanmu Huai sneered.
Not seeing the coffin, not shedding tears, huh.
"Believe it or not, I can make sure you never step on stage again."
Ultimately, she’s just a little girl, never having faced the harsh realities. If possible, Duanmu Huai didn’t want to commit murder here either. After all, this place seed to be that giraffe’s domain, and it’s unclear whether the girl’s soul would belong to him or the giraffe if killed here.
"............"
Perhaps sensing the murderous intent in Duanmu Huai’s words, Hoshimi Junna didn’t imdiately answer. Duanmu Huai stared at her and spoke.
"Survival or destruction, choose."
"I............"
Hoshimi Junna knew Duanmu Huai’s strength. After all, as a performing arts student, she had watched Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s performances up close and knew they were on a different level. For a mont, Hoshimi Junna genuinely wanted to quit — but when she thought of the uniqueness of this stage, she found her resolve.
Yes, in the real world, she might never catch up to them. But this theater is different; this stage changes with the perforr’s actions, and...... if she could win and beco the TOPSTAR, then she could also beco a star like Duanmu Ai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin!
Moreover, their extraordinary acting skills might be because they are TOPSTARS! If that’s the case, it makes sense why these two girls have such exceptional talent!
With this thought, Hoshimi Junna made up her mind.
"I won’t give up!"
"Oh? Are you sure? This giraffe isn’t benevolent. How do you know it will fulfill your wish? And if you fail? Do you know what you’ll lose?"
These subspace demons aren’t easy to deal with; losing your soul or even your life is a common occurrence.
"Even so, I want to try!"
No other options then.
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently. Luckily, he had seen plenty of Magic Girls who would charge blindly into walls, so he was used to it.
"Fine, you’ve made your choice."
With that, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, took a step toward Hoshimi Junna, and said, "Prepare yourself."
"Click—————!"
As Duanmu Huai’s words fell, the entire stage suddenly went pitch black, leaving only a solitary light shining on Hoshimi Junna.
At that mont, Hoshimi Junna felt a sense of unease wash over herself.
It was as if she were a young beast abandoned in the dark wilderness. She glanced around nervously and vigilantly, knowing the stage would change with the perforr’s actions. So what she needed to do now was... right, perform. As long as she sang, the stage would change!
With this in mind, Hoshimi Junna opened her mouth and began to sing softly.
"Soaring flas in the sky, burning to ashes. As stars drawn to sin gradually fall, I have an undeniable dream and a sky to protect..."
As Hoshimi Junna sang, the stage around her began to vibrate, and the shining stage lights gradually ca on, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
anwhile, Duanmu Huai suddenly leapt forward from the side, rushing toward Hoshimi Junna!
He’s here!
By this ti, Hoshimi Junna was already in tune with her stage. As Duanmu Huai appeared, she imdiately noticed him. Hoshimi Junna frantically turned and raised her bow to aim at the button on Duanmu Huai’s chest — this battle wasn’t a true fight to the death. Every participant wore a red jacket, fixed in place with tal buttons.
All she had to do was break the button, making the jacket fall, and the opponent would be deed defeated.
So, Hoshimi Junna had to shoot the button on Duanmu Huai’s chest, stripping him of his qualification!
Whizz———!
The arrow flew out, targeting Duanmu Huai’s chest. Yet, facing Hoshimi Junna’s attack, Duanmu Huai rely sidestepped slightly, dodging the arrow, and continued forward!
"Buzz—————!"
Star-shaped signs floated up from beneath the stage, blocking Duanmu Huai’s path. Hoshimi Junna gasped and quickly backed away to distance herself from Duanmu Huai—her weapon of choice was the bow and arrow, not suited for close combat.
But the next event took Hoshimi Junna completely by surprise.
"Boom!!"
Right in front of her, the wooden boards ant to block and obstruct her view were crashed and shattered by Duanmu Huai, throwing Hoshimi Junna into chaos. Before she could react, Duanmu Huai lunged from the wreckage, reaching out his right hand to cover her mouth!
Exactly, just cover the mouth, and she can’t sing!
"Mm—Mm————!"
Even as Duanmu Huai pinned her to the ground, Hoshimi Junna was wide-eyed and incredulous. It was like two people playing Go, when suddenly one of them stood up and slamd the board into the other. Hoshimi Junna was the one slamd with the board, filled with the thought—why aren’t you playing by the rules!
As Duanmu Huai physically interrupted her singing, the lights that illuminated her gradually dimd and went out. Hoshimi Junna stared at Duanmu Huai, clearly believing this rude, unorthodox win was outright cheating.
Although Duanmu Huai could simply remove her jacket to win, he chose not to. Instead, with one hand covering her mouth, he reached down with the other, pressing against the bare skin beneath her skirt.
"!!?"
The unfamiliar, sensitive touch sent a shiver down Hoshimi Junna’s spine. She stared at Duanmu Huai in terror, who coldly looked back at her.
"I told you, I’ll make sure you won’t dare co again... since you won’t listen......"
Duanmu Huai’s slender fingers felt like a cold, venomous snake, and sensing this, Hoshimi Junna started to tremble.
Then, she heard Duanmu Huai’s voice again.
"In that case, I’ll make sure your body rembers."
