Chapter 36 Scaring Off
Night Star walked out of the Theater Door and curiously observed the unfamiliar surroundings.
Then she quickly spotted Mo Rabbit’s silhouette, along with the peculiar little loli with long purple-red hair and pink eyes.
Mo Rabbit raised her hand and greeted cheerily.
“Audience Performer, seeing you’re still your usual self, I feel relieved.”
“Eh? What do you mean? By the way, you didn’t head to headquarters as a Night Watcher? Where are we? The Hero Cemetery?”
Night Star looked around, feeling like she was in some impressive place, almost like a castle.
It sure felt high-class.
This is the Hero Cemetery?
Yet, it doesn’t feel like one at all.
She then turned her gaze to a purple-haired loli standing nearby. Her features were delicate, and she seemed quite cute.
The loli was also observing Night Star, and there was something peculiar about her. It gave Night Star a sense of familiarity.
Night Star stared suspiciously at Mo Rabbit.
“You wouldn’t be here to kidnap little lolis because of some Lolicon awakening attribute, right? That’s unacceptable! Say no to infantilization, start with you!”
“Ha, you didn’t mention ‘I’ even once.”
“Hehe~”
Night Star stuck out her tongue, giving off a playful and cute vibe.
At that moment, she looked at the loli again and became puzzled.
“So who exactly are you? Such a cute kid.”
“She’s First Generation Star Eclipses, apparently called the Forger, can also be named Loti Shana, a dangerous creature. This time, she interfered with the Hero Cemetery matter, which is beyond my capabilities. Hence, they called you to help me.”
Mo Rabbit introduced casually, as if chatting over tea.
After hearing this, Night Star’s pupils widened.
“No way! First Generation Star Eclipses!”
No wonder she sensed that familiar aura from the loli.
That’s an old-time historical aura.
Like the Dream Narrator had mentioned for the First Generation Star Eclipses, which gave her that feeling.
Turns out she’s the First Generation Star Eclipses!
But she’s actually a loli.
Pretty rare, really.
To be honest, better than those from the Dream Narrator stories.
Speaking of Dream Narrator…
In fact, he had mentioned some details about other First Generation Star Eclipses last time.
Such as the Forger, or rather, Loti Shana.
Apparently, she’s among the less mature types, and has the most ridiculous obsession. Her powers are equally insane.
As long as she completes certain conditions, she can create a Star Eclipse Nation, and then project this realm into reality for new territory.
She won’t stop until the whole planet is within her reach.
Simultaneously, she can turn all lifeforms in her territory into Star Eclipses, becoming their ruler or tyrant, which makes her extremely difficult to deal with.
If she runs rampant, it might lead to world chaos.
Then it would be much worse than just breaking down the order.
Night Lan’s dreamy idle lifestyle would be history.
“Hmm…”
Night Star pondered.
Loti Shana then spoke up.
“Are you Night Lan?”
“No, I’m Night Star.”
“Eh?”
Loti Shana tilted her head in confusion.
Before Loti could react, Night Star added, “Actually, I can be Night Lan, treated as one person.”
“I see. In that case, now I’ll make you my subject and see if you’d still defy me.”
Loti Shana walked over quickly and touched Night Star’s forehead, as if performing some mysterious ritual.
Seconds passed.
Night Star, with her large, dark red eyes, was confused by the actions of the loli with purple-red hair.
“You’re petting my head? Uh, though I don’t hate head-petting, it’s only for people I know. If it’s a strange loli, I’d probably end up doing that.”
“Eh—?! It didn’t work?! I can’t turn you into a subject? This is odd! Aren’t you human?”
Loti Shana’s disbelief was evident, stepping back instinctively.
Night Star scratched her face sheepishly.
“Mm, even if you say so, I’m a real human being, y’know.”
“Among humans, how could such a one exist to oppose the First Generation Star Eclipses!?”
“Eh? Don’t underestimate humans! Their potential is limitless!”
Night Star blurted out lines that sounded dramatic.
“And… you’re too dangerous. To safeguard my idle life, I must handle you.”
Night Star extended her hand, seemingly to touch Loti Shana.
“Don’t come near!”
Just as Loti Shana’s eyes widened, she vanished instantly.
Night Star’s hand froze mid-air, slightly embarrassed.
“Huh? Scared off?”
“Haha~”
Mo Rabbit couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
Scarring off the First Generation Star Eclipses? Only Night Star can do it.
Of course, part of that credit goes to Mo Rabbit.
Upon realizing she couldn’t transform Night Star, Loti Shana believed every word Mo Rabbit had said.
The story of the trio being defeated by Three First Generation Star Eclipses and the Ballad Conductor going down were all true.
Loti Shana ran because she already believed these things were happening. It was kind of funny.
Seeing the First Generation Star Eclipses get humiliated was too amusing.
To have witnessed this made the trip worthwhile, even turning into a Star Eclipse.
Why did she suddenly feel satisfied?
Night Star mumbled under her breath.
“Am I that scary? Although I look so cute, and she’s just a loli… How rude…”
She glared at Mo Rabbit and complained.
“What’s wrong with you? It’s Thursday already! No, it’s a great day for the Grand Performance, not some V-me-50 event. It’ll be hard to stage without you!”
“I couldn’t help it. I met the First Generation Star Eclipses.”
“What? You could have easily handled that! Did you not do a divination beforehand? When you noticed an anomaly, you should have contacted me. You needn’t go it alone like you would with the Wish Princess for protection. You’re too arrogant.”
Night Star grumbled, clearly unhappy with Mo Rabbit acting on her own.
Compared to that, clearly, the group’s Grand Performance mattered more, right?
But Mo Rabbit seemed to have forgotten about it entirely and decided to confront the First Generation Star Eclipses by herself.
Was that fun?
Wanting to have fun was fine after the Grand Performance!
Clearly, it was such a crucial moment!
Thinking about it,
Night Star puffed out her cheeks, already planning how to scold Mo Rabbit mentally.
Seems Mo Rabbit figured out her thoughts and tried to distract her.
“Let’s talk about this later. Right now, the priority is handling the First Generation Star Eclipses.”
“Mm… fine.”
Mo Rabbit kept smiling.
Don’t think she’d idly sit by while her joys were disrupted. Dealing with a troublemaker comes at a price.
Who knows what choices Night Star would make once she realizes all the Star Eclipses want to follow her.
Just thinking of Night Star’s troubled face made Mo Rabbit chuckle.
