Chapter 675

However...

"Kira, you actually don't dislike Bai, do you? No, you actually hold him in very high regard, don't you?" Eden said.

"E, Eden-laoshi, how could you think that!"

Shigure Kira revealed a flustered expression.

"Hehe~ of course it's because... there is no one in this world who, after truly understanding Bai, could still dislike him. Just as it's impossible for anyone to genuinely dislike Sorry Sorry Aili."

Eden said with a smile, sounding extremely certain.

Although there are still some differences, Bai Ge and Elysia are undoubtedly the same kind of people; if one does not understand them, many would mistake their overly brilliant humanity for hypocrisy.

But as long as you cut them open to take a look—cough, cough, I mean, once you understand the [True Self] of these two people—Eden dares to bet all her wealth that no one in this world could dislike them.

Second update, please give flowers, please give tickets, please give tips.

As an artist, Eden’s mind was more delicate than ordinary people’s, and coupled with the rich experience brought by her long life, this singer soon realized.

Shigure Kira was actually a tsundere.

Although she said she hated Bai Ge with her mouth, her heart might be the exact opposite. This wavering appearance before her was the most favorable evidence. It could only be said that the young lady’s level was still too low.

A true tsundere should be like Mobius. Even if the star of the end fell from the sky and destroyed everything on the surface, Snake’s hard little mouth could still shout, "Is that all?"

Eden: "Kira, it’s better for a girl to be honest. I have a friend... companion, although she isn't a tsundere, she just feels embarrassed to say anything, and as a result, she hasn't moved up in 12 loops over 50,000 years."

Fu Hua: "Achoo!"

If it were someone else, Eden wouldn't remind them. After all, having one more enemy was just looking for trouble for herself.

However, Shigure Kira is now half a disciple to her... even though this disciple’s talent makes Eden want to cry.

But she feels that as a master, she should still offer some guidance, as long as her disciple doesn't end up as miserable as a certain Red Kite Immortal in the future.

"Besides, Bai is also working hard to help you find a way to fix your tone-deafness. In fact, most of the methods you just tried were his ideas."

"Me, meddlesome..."

Shigure Kira lowered her head and touched her throat.

The young girl’s mood is very chaotic right now.

Does she hate Bai Ge? Of course she does! This white-haired boy who appeared out of nowhere stole away the person she admires, and lately, he has been leaving Cecilia in such a mess every single night.

Watching from the doorway with Theresa, there were several times she couldn't help but want to kick the door open and shout, "Let go of Lady Cecilia, Bai Ge, if you have the guts, come at me!"

Not to mention that it’s not just Cecilia; even Eden, who is right in front of her, is deeply infatuated with that Bai fellow. Just thinking about it makes Shigure Kira stomp her feet in frustration.

Yet, beneath this hatred, there is also admiration.

Bai Ge also possesses the heavenly voice she yearns for so much, and on top of that, he has the strength powerful enough to protect everything; even the Overseer of Schicksal has to kneel before him.

The overly imposing figure of the God-Defier made all the Valkyries at the time, including Shigure Kira, feel a sense of admiration, and she actually knows that he is a good person at heart.

Moreover, if it weren't for Bai Ge's introduction, she wouldn't have met Teacher Eden, and if it weren't for Bai Ge's protection, she alone could never have protected the beloved Lady Cecilia.

Therefore, Shigure Kira is actually still grateful to him.

But now that the relationship between the two is already so complicated, even if Shigure Kira wanted to express her gratitude, she wouldn't know how to start.

"Rest assured, Bai won't mind such trivial matters, so Kira, you just need to say what you want to say," Eden said with a smile, having seen through the girl's thoughts.

"Um, I, I understand..."

"Oh my, what a coincidence, speak of the devil and he arrives."

"Eh?!"

Following the direction of Eden's gaze, Shigure Kira spotted a white figure appearing in the Golden Courtyard.

Although that Bai fellow had already gifted the theater to Eden, it remains his personal space/territory as the Herrscher of Domination, so naturally, he can come and go as he pleases.

"Found you, Eden. Hmm? Kira is here too? That’s perfect, let’s get things done together."

"Get things done? What things?"

"Heh~ what else could I be looking for from Miss Kirastar, who is destined to reach the pinnacle of idols? Naturally, it’s to hear your heavenly voice. Come, come, sing a song."

As Bai Ge spoke, he handed the microphone to Shigure Kira.

This action made Eden’s face turn pale; she couldn't even hold her wine glass steady, and it fell to the ground. She didn't even have time to pick it up, instead shaking her head vigorously at Bai Ge.

(Bai! You mustn't!)

Giving the microphone to Shigure Kira is no different from handing a kitchen knife to Mei! Seriously, Bai Ge, is there something bothering you? You actually want to hear this girl sing!

"You want me to sing? Are you serious?"

"Uh-huh~ super serious."

Bai Ge gave a thumbs up with a straight face, but seeing the cotton already stuffed into his ears, the corners of Shigure Kira’s eyes twitched wildly, feeling as if she had been mocked again.

"Hmph! If you want to hear a song, look~ Teacher Eden is right here, why don't you just let her sing for you?"

"That's right, Bai, let me sing instead. Kira has been practicing for a long time and must be tired by now."

"It's fine, it's just a little fatigue~"

Bai Ge said, raising his hand to press on Shigure Kira’s shoulder, then activated the authority of the Herrscher of Sentience, instantly wiping away the girl’s fatigue. This authority is practically a divine skill for overtime work.

"I'm actually not tired anymore... but why do you suddenly want to hear me sing? It's not like you don't know I'm tone-deaf. And when you have Teacher Eden’s heavenly voice to listen to, you insist on me singing... what exactly is your goal?"

Shigure Kira crossed her arms and looked at him with vigilance.

"Don't make it sound like I'm about to molest you. I just have two hours left before my time-travel ends, so I wanted to say goodbye to you both before I leave," Bai Ge said, shrugging his shoulders.

"And although Eden’s voice is heavenly, before I leave, I still want to hear a song that will leave a deep impression."

"A deep impression... in a bad way, you mean."

Shigure Kira said with half-lidded eyes. She still has some self-awareness; under normal circumstances, she would absolutely not grant Bai Ge’s wish.

But the girl was still immersed in the previous conversation, her heart very shaken. Plus... Bai Ge said he would be leaving this timeline in two hours; if she didn't do something now, she would have to wait over twenty years to see him again.

So, after struggling and hesitating for a few seconds, Shigure Kira’s eyes became firm, and she decided to sing this song!

"Fine! Since you want to hear it, this time I’ll give it my all and show you the progress I’ve made during this time!"

"That’s the spirit! Come on, let it out for me!"

"I, I have something to do, I'll be going now. I have a cocktail party with Aponia and Sorry Sorry Aili later."

Eden smiled dryly and took a few steps back, her survival instinct urging her to run away immediately, but her slender wrist was grabbed.

"I've told you many times, my dear Eden, drink less alcohol. Besides, I'm leaving soon, so just stay and keep me company for a while longer."

"That's right, Teacher Eden, after I finish singing, please give me some more advice. This time I will use all my strength; I will definitely sing the most moving song yet!"

"All your strength... that's not really necessary, maybe hold back a little."

Knowing she couldn't escape, Eden sat back down in despair, giving Bai Ge a resentful, reproachful glare. Sometimes, even as dignified as she is, she would have dangerous thoughts about that Bai fellow.

However, Bai Ge was the same; looking at the usually elegant and dignified Eden, he would occasionally want to see this goddess of art in a disheveled, losing-her-composure state, because it made him inexplicably excited.

Subsequently, the final song of the [Shigure Kira Solo Concert] began. The entire time, sounds of death echoed, and the two even felt the Golden Courtyard shaking, as if the ceiling were about to collapse from the vibrations.

Shigure Kira: "La la la la la——!"

Eden: "%￥%#*@!"

Bai Ge: "Cough, cough! As, as expected of the true Herrscher of Deathly Sounds! This power is, in a way, even more terrifying than Herrscher authorities; it’s on the same level as Mei’s cooking."

Digging two earplugs out of his ears, even with defensive preparations, that Bai fellow still felt he had suffered a heavy blow; this song made his head buzz.

Meanwhile, Eden’s eyes had already rolled back, and her whole body was twitching uncontrollably. Even the "Vrona" Honkai beast with the strongest defensive power would struggle to withstand such sonic attacks.

Bai Ge took a voice recorder out of his pocket, played it for a few seconds to confirm it had been recorded, and decisively turned it off.

"Not bad, recording successful, sonic weapon acquired. I have one more way to torture that dog-like Otto next time."

"Bai Ge, you, you... I hate you!!"

Hearing him say this, Shigure Kira, who had just poured her heart into the song on stage, instantly broke down, and then threw the microphone in her hand directly at Bai Ge.

It’s not uncommon for audiences to throw things at idols, but it’s quite novel for an idol to throw things at the audience. And it wasn't just the microphone; Shigure Kira jumped off the stage, ran up to that Bai fellow, and raised her little fists to launch a punching attack.

"I hate you, I hate you! I hate you the most!"

"Uh, why is the reaction so big this time?"

Bai Ge was stunned for a moment, letting the tickle-like fists land on him, and looked suspiciously at the dying Eden beside him.

"Eh~ Bai... the favorability I worked so hard to build up for you... it’s all... gone to waste now."

"Uh, Eden, you’d better stop talking for now. Let me heal you first."

He activated the authority of the Herrscher of Sentience again, saving the singer beside him from a near-death state. Although Shigure Kira’s singing and Mei’s cooking were terrors on the same level, she ultimately lacked the profound cultivation of the latter.

Otherwise, even with the Herrscher authority of [Creation] and [Wither], he likely would have been unable to save her.

Afterward, Bai Ge learned what happened from Eden and immediately felt a bit embarrassed. He didn't expect there would be a day he would sabotage himself; it seemed his favorability rating had been reset to zero.

"Uh, sorry Kira, I did it on purpose."

Bai Ge scratched his head and admitted his mistake honestly. If it hadn't been on purpose, he might have gotten a lighter sentence, but since it was intentional, the crime was doubled. After all, even though Kira’s singing was indeed lethal.
