4-98: His Invincibility III (1/6)

It sure is rare for the Songstress to reveal her true nature before people, though.

Perhaps feeling that delving deeper into this topic would be fruitless, the subordinates around subtly shifted the conversation to something else.

Weve been with her for so long, yet shes rarely acted that way around us.

It doesnt seem like theyve known each other for a long time too. Did that man win her trust in such a short period of time? Who could he be?

They have been with her since before her debut, so they knew her quite well.

Monica might have felt some responsibility for everyones safety as the employer of the people here, but it was still rare for her to yell like that.

Normally, she would keep to her persona as the Songstress and hide her childishness and quick temper. That was akin to an armor for her.

The fact that she took off that armor and reacted that way to that man could only mean that she cared about him that much.

At the very least, their relationship was deep enough for her to do that.

That girl might put on a friendly face, but shes really distrusting of people. Why would someone like that allow such a dangerous guy come close to her?

It might have been my imagination, but the way Monica treated him kind of resembls how she treats the kids back at the orphanage.

Come to think of it, she called him a brat, didnt she?

But of course, there was no way that could be true. Everyone shook their head.

A child young enough to be called a brat by her surely shouldnt be able to move like that and attack people without hesitation.

After all, he was experienced enough to meticulously knock people out without killing them.

Not even the favored child of a great family or the top student of Garesto Academy could pull something like that off easily.

He didnt look like he wanted to talk to anyone other than Monica or the girl with him too. I met his gaze once, and I tell you, those werent the eyes youd use to look at a person with. I got goosebumps, seriously.

Hes definitely not normal. He was so extreme too.

I thought my heart was going to leap out of my chest when he reprimanded us. Where the heck did that girl pick up that monster from!?

She limply sat down on the folding chair and wryly smiled in agreement, but that expression quickly stiffened. The problem wasnt just the unknown escort that the Songstress had brought.

This time really does seem weird, though. The quality of the people after her seems to be different. Should I call for reinforcements?

Even if you did, who and how many will make it today? Its dangerous to call new people today, Teresa said.

Even if they called over the off-duty personnel, they might not make it in time for tomorrows live performance.

And considering the multitude of adversaries that that man has been exposing one after another, she found it hard to trust anyone other than themselves right now.

Yes.

Its frustrating, but for now, lets just observe the situation, Teresa said.

Not only could they not eliminate the problematic objects and individuals, they also had no manpower to spare to monitor the suspects theyve apprehended.



He acted as though no one else other than himself existed, resulting in 10 more victims, or rather, captives.

However, the time it took Shinichi to move to the stage from the backstage has allowed the commotion to reach the rest of the staff through word of mouth or instructions from above, engendering an atmosphere of fear and caution toward him.

But Shinichi didnt care about any of that.

Who knew if he even recognized that they were wary of him? But of course, he did know. He just didnt care.

He surveyed the stage as though he wouldnt miss even the slightest thing, moving with such seriousness that those watching involuntarily held their breath.

He lifted the stage decorations, effortlessly climbed up the large monitor, and smoothly descended to the backstage within moments.

In less than thirty seconds, he emerged from the Hell Set on the stage.

Immediately, a murmur spreads through the surroundings. In his right hand was a mangled mass of metal, the original form of which was unrecognizable, while in his left hand was someone, whose eyes have rolled back, being dragged by their neck.

The people around looked as though they would scream if he so much as glanced at them.

Yet once again, he didnt spare them so much as a glance and just nonchalantly dropped those things he had on him before walking down the runway.

Myuhi wryly smiled at that, but Monica

Hey!

Oww!?

Smacked him on the head for the umpteenth time.

One could only imagine how frequently he mustve been smacked considering it wasnt a long way away from the backstage.

Im not asking you to be friendly, but whats the point of frightening everyone else? Since youre not laying a hand on them, that means you dont suspect them, right?

Uu.

Shinichi growled while rubbing his head. It was just a light poke on her part, but it ached.

She wasnt wrong. There really wasnt anyone here who possessed anything strange or behaved suspiciously.

However, the way shes been treating him for awhile now was starting to pile up dissatisfaction.

Sigh, Ive finished checking the stage, equipment, and personnel. It might be a bit strange, but there were a few issues with the furniture.

So he just quickly wrapped the situation by fulfilling his duty to her and giving her a report, but the one to react to that was Myuhi.

You went out of your way to scrap something and drag out the perpetrator, so elaborate, Myuhi said.

There are mechanisms to deploy the restraints hidden in the center of the stage and some parts of the installation of the giant monitor were fragile.

Hey, thats totally someone trying to crush me dead! Monica said.

Just the idea of a murder plot targeting oneself was chilling enough, but the thought of being crushed to death by something so massive understandably made Monica pale.
