Chapter 1481
Yínhún.
"Hiss... that pink sound refers to Xilian, right? No, judging by the tone, it should be Mimi? Can Mimi and Xingqiri together even handle Night Moon?"
Gintoki felt Star's situation might be a bit worse.
Shinpachi pushed up his glasses: "The key seems to be that Night Moon simply can't be pressured, even if Xingqiri uses 'Tuning' and coordinates with Mimi, Night Moon remains calm and unhurried—this is clearly... an old fool playing with a child."
"So, probably Xingqiri, Black Swan, and Mimi all need to act together, and Black Swan still needs to recruit more Oblivion Helpers—everyone, charge."
Kagura lay on Shimura Tae's back, hearing this, her face also involuntarily showed a hint of confusion: "But, dealing with an opponent of this level, does having more people really help? This is called a 'Person Sea Tactic,' I think those Oblivion Helpers who haven't even had their names appear are unnecessary."
In Kagura's view, the entire Wengfaluo Si has now become Night Moon's private domain; under her Memory Tide coverage, anyone attempting to sneak in here will be detected by her immediately.
"By the way, have you felt any attribute from Night Moon?" Gintoki suddenly raised his head and asked.
"What attribute?"
"Yandere."
"... Do you have it?"
"How could there not be? Someone who constantly says 'my dear' will stab people the hardest when the time comes, and she also has pink hair!" Gintoki seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, his voice unconsciously rising several notches: "This 'for you, even if the world is destroyed, it's fine' attribute—isn't that yandere? Pink Cut Black, blackened even more!"
Thinking back to when I once said San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue was "absolutely not a Pink Cut Black person," now recalling it, Gintoki only felt his face burning hot.
【14> The current "San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue" is not only dark inside, but even her outward clothing has turned black—she is simply the most thoroughly "Pink Cut Black" person.
Xian Za's San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue is not only black inside, but even her clothes have turned black—she is truly the most thoroughly blackened Pink Cut Black.

"We are guarding 'San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's' wish, Star."
"Suddenly, Dan Heng and the others' bodies twisted and deformed, like oil paintings soaked in water, their outlines gradually blurring, finally leaving only the red jellyfish in their core."
"They emitted cheerful laughter, circling around Star."
"You... can't you feel it? She doesn't want to say goodbye to 'Pioneering,' she wants to keep traveling together, forever and ever..."
"We are her Memory Spirits. For her wish, we must give everything."
Just as this group of jellyfish was about to surround Star, the pink sound echoed again from midair.
"Finally, the timing is just right."
Only hearing a "puff," Mimi descended from the sky! Her tiny body blocked Star's front!
"Thrilling 'hero saves the beauty'! Hmm, should it be said the other way around?"
"Xilian...?"
"Exactly, now it's... 'Mimi' form!" Xilian proudly crossed her arms, meanwhile glancing around at the red jellyfish before her: "Really, these Memory Spirits taking the mysterious cute route—one is enough. Star, follow me. We're leaving this place."
The number of red jellyfish kept increasing, from the initial two or three like kittens gradually filling the entire hotel lobby, trying to block their path of departure.
"Why escape? How can we understand...?"
"First step, stop scaring her."
Xilian led Star in a frantic run, all the way to before two large doors before stopping—this is the entrance to the next memory segment.
"After becoming like this, she's also like a fish in water, more adapted to the Memory Realm." Xilian extended her claw toward her: "Come—grab my hand, let's hide together in Star's deepest memory."
"Unveil the memory curtain—arouse the ripples of the past!"

"No wonder it's the pink puppy·pink squirrel·pink rabbit·pink mammal·pink little sea hare, very clever."
In the lounge of the Cololivetszki Theatre Troupe, Odetta was holding a Mimi-style nesting doll. Since Mimi's identity merged with Xilian's, Mimi's nesting dolls often contain Xilian-shaped ones, nested repeatedly until palm-sized.
"Um... Odetta, did Mimi really have this many nicknames already?" Voyanessa tilted her head, not expecting Odetta to remember someone else's nicknames so clearly.
"Of course, because it's very cute." Odetta seriously placed the doll in her hand on a nearby shelf: "If Voyanessa also had this many nicknames, I would remember them just as clearly."
"Hmph, that's not bad." Voyanessa slightly lifted her chin, her gaze returning to the memory maze in the skydome: "But speaking of which, Odetta, how do you think the Night Moon situation should be resolved? Or, is there a way to counter her?"
Odetta did not answer immediately, but instead raised her head to look at the howling wind and snow outside the theatre window.
"Voyanessa, have you and the Traveler talked about our previous 'Death' experience in the theatre?" Odetta seemed to ask a question completely unrelated.
"Yes, that time was... we triggered the 'Death' curse, and the Death Arbiter also personally came among us." Voyanessa slightly frowned: "But what does that have to do with Night Moon?"
"An existence like the Death Arbiter, yet restricted by the 'Rule' from killing arbitrarily. So I think, if we want to counter—or rather, 'limit'—Night Moon, we must also find a 'Rule' to limit her."
"A 'Rule' to limit Night Moon?" Voyanessa's expression grew more confused: "But... who would know such a rule?"
"Actually, it's very simple. If we want to limit Night Moon's actions, the Rule must reach her bottom line—namely, 'San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's life safety.'" Odetta said: "So, the focus isn't defeating Night Moon, but making her realize 'if you proceed according to your original plan, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's life safety cannot be guaranteed'—only then will she choose to stop."
Voyanessa nodded as if suddenly understanding: "I roughly get your meaning... but the trouble is, in 'protecting San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue,' Night Moon and Star, Dan Heng, and others share the same stance. Yet toward Wengfaluo Si's companions, their stance differs."
—
"As another white light flashed before her eyes, Star opened her eyes, discovering she and Xilian were now inside the Space Station."
"Where is this?"
"The Space Station, Star's starting point. Looks like we succeeded..." Xilian heard rustling from not far away: "Hmm, what's that?"
Not far away stood two figures she knew extremely well.
"Silver Wolf... Kafka?!"
Xilian quickly covered her eyes with her paws: "Ah, Star's secret! So curious, but I can't peek. Remember when we first met, they also appeared in your memory."
