At 12:11 a.m. on the same day—

The green shade box garden capital square, because it is late at night, so there should be no one around.

However, at this time, there was a group of unexpected guests in the square.

"Don't be lazy, help Nepkiya move that speaker to the corner of the stage! Empty Pa, the cable is broken, go get a spare one! Have the lights been adjusted!? Empty, how does the microphone sound like! ”

In the center of the square, a makeshift stage was erected, and around the stage, IF shouted loudly like a foreman, while the goddesses, goddess candidates, and Sora and Kuba were busy on the stage, placing props and sounds, and then assembling them.

Now the actions of a group of people are exactly like a group of workers who have built the stage for a concert overnight, and as for why it has become this kind of development, let's sell it a little bit.

"Uh-huh" cleared his throat, then pointed into the microphone and said, "Testing, testing, no problem, everything is fine." ”

"Good! Then everyone work harder, and definitely get rid of that monster tonight!! IF clenched his left hand into a fist, raised his fist to the sky and shouted with a bloody face.

"Oooh-"

Compared with the few people who raised their hands and shouted, the goddesses who had completed their part of the work were communicating with each other in their own ways.

[Do you think this approach is really possible?] Brand. Noalo picked up the notebook and showed it to Bran.

[If Sora is right, the success rate of this operation is high.] Bran still looked at the laptop screen at Nova with a blank face, and even if it was just a simple character, he could feel Bran's flat tone.

"But this plan is very good, if it weren't for the fact that we couldn't make a sound, I really wanted to go on stage and go into battle in person~" The electronic sound that completely imitated Bellu's tone came out of the smartphone in Bellu's hand, and even the tone was imitated, which is too high-end.

[Rest assured, empty but my knight, there will be no problem with Nep~] Nepdinu held up the clipboard and wrote such a paragraph with a marker, in which the cheerfulness can be seen at a glance.

[Anyway, what does this have to do with being your knight.] Novalo rolled her eyes and wrote down this spitting in her notebook.

As for why everyone came to the square to set up a stage during such an extraordinary period, the reason went back to after dinner not long ago-

"Kong-sang, you mean, that monster was attracted by the voice of my sister?" Nepkia covered her mouth in some surprise and looked at the empty in front of her in disbelief.

"Sora, why do you think so?" IF asked with a serious expression.

"Well, actually, when I was having dinner just now, I asked C**E-san (a member of the cold and natural F-cup Green Shade Box Garden) to re-investigate the place I was thinking about before, and I was lucky to find that the victims of this incident have something in common." Sora took out a paper bag out of nowhere, and then took out a stack of documents from inside.

After careful investigation, it was discovered that the victims, including 5pb.chan, were almost all singers who had received high acclaims, or people who were praised for their good voices, and "Sora pulled out a few papers pinned together with paper clips from the materials" and then there was another point, the reason why they were attacked. When they were attacked, some of them were practicing songs, and some of them were chatting with others through the Internet or other means. ”

"In other words, when they were attacked, they were all awake and making noises for a long time, while others had something in common with them, but they were sleeping or silent that night but were not attacked, which is why I guessed that."

Kong's words immediately made the scene fall silent.

"So, why did that monster only appear at night, and so suddenly, attacking Nepup-Messes without anyone in the church noticing?" Kongpa tilted his head and asked.

"If I'm not mistaken," Sora immediately took Kupa's words, and at the same time a scene flashed in his mind with a dazzling light, "Probably, that guy is afraid of light, to be precise, the sunshine or something." ”

[…… If that's the case, then a lot of things can be explained. Bran typed this line of text on the computer with a blank face.

[No wonder we flew almost all over the green box garden during the day and didn't find the guy, so it was.] Novalo was a little angry and wrote this in the notebook, and it could be seen from the font that she was very angry, and there was no way to do it, after all, the morning's busy work and the sound were taken away again, so it was strange not to be angry.

"But even if it were, where would it hide during the day?" IF said puzzled, "Even if it hides during the daytime, it won't be able to capture our search, we almost searched that area during the day." ”

“…… The answer may be surprisingly simple," he clasped his empty hands on his chest, closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then opened his eyes and said solemnly, "Although it is just my simple guess, I guess it did not hide, but turned into something else, so that it could survive in the sun, and at night it returned to its original state and went to look for prey." ”

"Something else?" Yuni's eyes widened.

"Being able to appear in the confines of the church without knowing it, I am afraid that during the day, the things that the Lyra α had become were picked up by unwitting people and brought to the vicinity of the church," Sora turned his gaze to Belle about this...... Everyone, I have a little frown in my heart. ”

"Any clues!?" Hearing Sora say this, IF said in a surprised tone - this can't be helped, after all, even IF, who has been with Sora for a while, didn't expect that Sora would have such a clear mind, and from some subtle things, he could analyze a lot of information that he didn't know at all until not long ago.

"Hmm...... Although it is just speculation, do you still remember that when we first came to the Green Shade Box Court Church, we passed by a church member holding a harp. ”

"Hey...... Is there such a thing? It feels like it is, but it doesn't seem to be." Tilting his head, trying to recall what happened when he first came in the morning, but because of a series of troubles, Nie Pudinu couldn't recall his experience in the morning.

"Hmm...... No way. There's been so much going on today that I can't think of it at all, what about Bran and Belle?" After thinking about it for a while, Noalo, who didn't remember anything about it, asked Bran and Bellow, and got an answer that could be said to be expected.

"Again, I can't remember it at all." He shook his head decisively, indicating that he was not impressed.

"When I think of the morning, I think of my disappeared figurines and collectibles...... Take revenge!" Thinking back to his broken collection, his thoughts have flown to Belle in the middle of nowhere...... Apparently cannot be counted on.

Although the four goddesses of "Forehead ......" all answered differently, they all showed the meaning of not remembering, which made Sora a little embarrassed, but soon, someone came to relieve him.

"That...... Did Kong Sang mean the whole black and tattered harp when we first came? After thinking for a long time, Nepkia remembered the harp he had encountered when he first came, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Ah, yes, Nepkia, I'm glad you remember...... Now Nepkia do you remember what it looked like, and then think back to the black harp that hung from the left shoulder of the α of Lyra—if the tattered harp wasn't broken, was it exactly the same? ”

Sora breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Nepkia remember, and reminded Nepkia that he had heard Sora say this, and Nepkia's mind began to think about the two black harps he had seen today...... I was surprised to find that if the tattered harp had not been broken, it would be exactly the same as the harp hanging on the left shoulder of the Lyra α!

"Really! It's exactly the same! Hearing Nepkia's words, which could not help but sigh, they looked into the void and became even more bewildered (though only Nepdinu's expression was proud)—though it was indeed a very good observation. But I still remember this kind of detail - what a strong vigilance is needed for this.

And feeling the emptiness of everyone's gaze, he just smiled bitterly and said the reason why he found out.

"Actually, it's not an accident, everyone. Actually, there was one thing I didn't say in the morning - when I passed by the man with the broken harp in the morning, the power in my body automatically flowed through my body, but only for a moment, because I wasn't sure - and now that I think about it, maybe it was a great opportunity. ”

"I see. Well, though, although we know the rules of that guy's movements, but now that he doesn't know where to run to attack people, what should we do?" IF held his chin in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"I have a good idea on that." Sora suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

========== divider ==========

"Singing to lure the α of Lyra is really a method that we haven't even thought of." IF looked at the electric guitar in his hand and looked focused on it, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"But, Husband Kongsan (no problem)?" Kongpa said with some concern, "We've only heard Kongsan play the harmonica, but it seems that we've never heard him sing, right?" ”

"There's no way, 5pb.chan and Nie Puzi, they've all been taken away from their voices, there's no way, I'm not very good at singing, and you can do the same with Kongpa, and Nepkiya and Yuni-sama can also sing, but if that monster directly uses the attack of the snatching voice, then it will be very dangerous for them to be unable to make an effective counterattack, so now, whether it is fighting or singing, the only thing that can be relied on is the self-recommended empty ah, probably" IF explained, his tone became more and more uncertain, Apparently she didn't have much faith in the void either.

“…… Rest assured, if San," Nepkiya said with a look of trust, "Sora-san, since you said so, then it must be fine!" ”

[Well, I'm sure, Mr. Sora he's fine.] 5pb. Sauce took out his notebook and wrote this paragraph with a pen [Mr. Sora's expression, which is the expression of a singer who is full of confidence in his voice, so it doesn't matter.] ]

There is the guarantee of 5pb.chan, a popular singer, although IF is still a little uneasy, but he still responded, and then looked at the empty who was sitting on the side of the stage and was preparing, and said secretly:

'Please, Sora. Whether or not this battle can succeed is a bet on you. We will do our best to carry out the backup work, so we must do a good job! ’

After about 15 minutes -

"Everyone, the power connection for the speaker is complete!" Yuni raised her hand and said to everyone.

"I'm ready on my side~" Nepkiya also waved his hand and shouted.

"I-chan, the monitors are all in place, too." With the same soft smile on his face, Kongpa waved his hand.

"Okay~, are you ready then, Sora!" IF said loudly with great momentum.

"No problem!" Sora attached the electric guitar to the speakers and slung the strap over his shoulder.

"Come on, Sora!"

"Now that you've done it, make it the best!"

"Come on."

"Come on, Sora-kun!"

"Please, Sora-kun!"

The four goddesses, who are unable to speak, have also encouraged Sora in their own way.

"So, everyone's in place!" IF shouted in the loudest voice, fortunately this area is a square and there is no residence, otherwise IF will be accused of disturbing the peace.

At the call of IF, everyone present immediately dispersed, went to the predetermined place to standby, held their breath, reduced their movements, took out their weapons, and crawled quietly like a hunter waiting for the arrival of his prey.

Sora stood for a while, took a deep breath, then looked at him, and then his hands danced nimbly on the strings of the guitar, and the rhythm changed from slow and gentle at the beginning, suddenly to passionate, and then Sora also began to sing:

"Gollum ......"

Having just escaped from the goddess's chamber, α Lyra, looking in the direction of the church with a little regret in his eyes—for there were still many beautiful voices that had not been captured—the Lyra α, who had a little sense, would not be stupid enough to attack with a clear understanding of the disparity in strength.

It's true that as long as you have your own barrier, no attack can hurt you - but Lyra α understand that you can't kill yourself, but you can catch yourself, and the thought of yourself can't capture the sound...... Lyra α no longer hesitated, and made up his mind that he would never go near it again.

Moreover, there are natural enemies that he must destroy, and he knows that his combat ability is not stronger than that of α the four transformed women, although he also wants to destroy the natural enemies, but as long as the natural enemies are still near the four women, there is nothing he can do.

Suppressing the desire for the snatching of voices in the church, Lyra α began to wander around as he had done yesterday, while listening to the beautiful sounds he wanted to snatch away—but unexpectedly, the night of the green moe box garden...... Slightly, a little too quiet.

Of course, this is not an accident, but it is all done by Belle - Belle, who originally planned to solve the matter in secret, found after the morning patrol that neither she nor anyone else noticed anything unusual.

Knowing that it was impossible to hide and solve the problem, Belo decisively decided not to hide this matter, and sent this matter to her own group open to the whole country, and informed the church members to spread the news quickly through TV and the news, and informed all the citizens of the Green Cute Box Court that they should try not to go out at night and go to bed early, and at the same time, the goddess who helped herself and the other three countries would start patrolling at night - although the last plan was to be disrupted because of the sudden attack on Ly α ra.

And although a little sensible, but will not understand that it is their own reasons that cause the prey to be scarce α, can only wander restlessly between the green box, searching for their prey - not that the range of activity of the Lyra α is only the green box, but the green box court is different from the other three countries on the same continent, the green box court is a country on an independent island country, if you want to come to the green box, you generally have to take a boat or plane - of course, you can also be like Nie Pudinu and them, if necessary, they can transform and fly over. And the Lyra α can't fly, so it's obviously impossible to harm other countries.

As a result, Ly α ra, who was becoming more and more anxious and depressed in his heart, wandered around for nearly six hours with nothing to do, and then heard a familiar and beautiful voice.

"Hey...... So this thing is going to be connected like this...... I don't know. Nepkia, you really know about machinery. ”

"Haha...... It's okay, Yoni-chan, as long as you look at it more, you'll understand. ”

"No, if that's the case, there would be no need for electricians in the world."

"Nepkiya sauce...... That's amazing. ”

"Hm...... Roma sauce! Lamb is also very powerful! This kind of thing, as long as three times five divided by two......! ”

"Ran, Lamb-chan! This doesn't work, machinery is very fragile......"

"It's empty, it's empty, what are you doing, it's so noisy."

"Surprised!"

Syllable!

"Hey............ Empty Pa, the cable is broken, go get a spare one! ”

"Yes, Dess!"

……………………

The familiar and beautiful timbre kept coming, even if it was strange why these familiar sounds were not in the original building, the Lyra α, whose mood was mostly filled with ** at the moment, ran quickly in the direction of the sound step by step - and after hearing that song full of emotion and soul, the speed of Lyra's α has reached its limit!

————————————————

Dream_Fighter, meaning 'Warrior of Dreams', Sora didn't plan to sing this song, but for some reason, the moment he mentioned the guitar, he recalled his experience in the Hokage world, and everything after coming to the game industry, and this song unconsciously came to his mind, and Sora sang it unconsciously.

And this song, listening to the ears of the goddesses on the side, is completely integrated into the feeling that this song brings them.

The empty voice can only be regarded as better than ordinary people, but the empty singing voice is completely integrated into his own thoughts and feelings.

Through the empty singing, they seemed to see the past of the young man who was playing and singing in front of them.

The teenager who insisted on going his own way, only believing in himself, walking in the direction he identified, but ignoring the most important things and feeling confused, gradually walked into the darkness; However, the boy met the light that pulled him out of that swamp, and from then on, he was no longer confused, he opened his heart, and with the light that redeemed himself, he walked on the road to a brilliant tomorrow.

Nepdinu, who was listening to this song intently, suddenly felt that someone was tugging at his sleeve, and when he looked back, he saw Nepkia looking at him in surprise, and at the same time felt some wetness on his face.

Nie Pudinu stretched out his hand to wipe it, but found that he didn't know when, he actually shed tears, but these tears did not have the slightest sadness.

【Nepdinu...... Don't forget, we're goddesses. If you do, it will take quite a bit of awareness. 】

As if perceiving why Nie Plidinu showed such tears, Nova Lu secretly showed Nie Radinu what he had just written, and Nie Plidinou, who saw Nova Lu's words, replied with a plain expression that did not match his own.

[Hmm—I know. Rest assured, Novalue. Even I understand. And it's just a little moved, really, Novalo, you're really **......] At the end of writing, Nepdunu, whose expression had become flattened, successfully aroused Novalu's anger.

[Who is **! I'm stupid to worry about you! 】

Nepdinu and Novaro went on a conversation that sounded the same way in the end, but their actions were secretive, and no one else noticed it—after all, most of them were still immersed in the empty soul-filled singing—except for Nepkia.

(Sister............ Uh, Novalusan, the atmosphere is ...... ）

Without mentioning the conversation in the audience, at some point, Sora had already finished playing and singing, put down the guitar, and exhaled.

It's been a long time since I've sung so hard, if it weren't for his regular exercise, his lung capacity would not be ordinarily large, and he would have been out of breath halfway through singing.

However, Sora did not relax, but put the guitar aside, and his expression became serious - the tingling sensation in his mind hit again, reminding himself.

"It's coming!"

Sora turned his gaze to the shadow in the corner opposite the stage, where a black figure ran out, no doubt α Lyra!

Seeing this voice that has taken the most precious voice of so many people, and is the culprit who makes the singers who regard their voices as life extremely painful, Sora can't help but feel angry, and with Sora's anger, that familiar warm current flows all over his body, and a touch of white brilliance appears on Sora's body.

"Oh!" Lyra's α seemed to feel the power of the empty body, and let out a strange scream, followed by a black wave on the surface of the body.

"I won't let you run away this time!" With a flick of the empty foot, the whole person rushed directly to the α Lyra.

However, the Lyra α suddenly reached out and flicked the harp string on his left shoulder, and a wave of fluctuations invisible to the naked eye erupted around the Lyra α.

Sora, who was closest to the Lyra α, felt a cacophony of noise in his head, and then a shockwave crashed directly into him, knocking Sora away.

"This attack is!" Sora rolled on the ground a few times, and then stood up again, "Is it an attack that combines ultrasound and shockwaves?" ”

But at this moment, the α of Lyra raised his right hand, and a dark purple wave appeared.

Sora, who had seen the surveillance footage, recognized it as a precursor to the light emitted by the Lyra α to rob the voices of those people, and if it was hit, it would be like Nepdinus and the others, and the sound would be robbed.

However, before Sora was ready to dodge, a green ray of light struck the Lyra α from behind, and although it failed to do damage, the impact interrupted the ray's emission.

Sora turned his gaze to the back of the Lyra α, and Yuni carried a large beam cannon that did not match his body, aiming at the α of Lyra, although his arm was still shaking, but he could still shoot in this state, obviously Yuni was the most typical sniper.

"Now that you have appeared, don't try to escape! Let me use the blade of flame to cast your soul into the underworld! With a full line in his mouth, IF sprang out from the bushes on the other side, the modified pistol in his hand kept spitting tongues of fire at the Tianqin α, and at the same time quickly approached, his hands ready to change into the Hidden Blade at any time, and slash at the Tianqin α.

"Hey~" Nepkiya suddenly jumped out, and the lightsaber in his hand suddenly hit the ground, and the ground cracked instantly, and the Lyra α suddenly couldn't stand steadily, and then was pinned down by the firepower of Yuni and IF.

"Hey, Nepkia has a pretty good idea." The corners of the empty mouth showed an appreciative arc.

Then, Sora concentrated again, and the warm current was transmitted to his hands and feet.

"Get out of the way, everybody!"

Sora raised his right fist, and the familiar white light reappeared, and then with a wave of his right fist, the white impact turned into a meteor and flew towards the constellation α Lyra.

However, at this time, the α of Lyra suddenly flicked the harp on his left shoulder, and another shockwave was emitted, and the ultrasound wave mixed in it made IF, Nepkia and Yuni stop the attack with a headache, and Lyra's α also took this opportunity to break away from the fire, and the empty attack suddenly failed.

However, at this time, IF was the first to recover, picked up the pistol and replaced it with a special magazine, aiming it at the Lyra α was a shot.

Lyra α who was hit by IF's shot didn't react, and disappeared into the darkness.

"Oh no, let it escape!" Yuni couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the disappearing figure α Lyra.

"No, that guy can't escape." Compared with the panicked Nepkia and Yuni, IF seems much calmer, and for IF to be so calm, Sora also has a conjecture.

"What's going on? IF Sang. Nepkia asked, puzzled.

IF took out his phone and turned on a virtual screen showing a map of the area, and then a flashing red star dot moved on the map at breakneck speed.

"This is" Seeing this scene, Nepkia, who is a mechanical maniac, seems to have guessed something.

"I see, is the bullet just now actually a tracker?" Sora also guessed the answer.

"That's it~" The corners of IF's mouth raised a smug arc, and then operated it, conveying the information and map data of this tracker to the others, "In this way, we will have a way to pursue and round up in a suitable place." ”

Before IF could finish speaking, four figures in the four corners of the square flew in different directions at a very fast speed, and it was obvious that Nepdinu had already taken the lead.

"Good! Without further ado! Let's go! Sora immediately ran to the back of the stage and pushed his borrowed locomotive out.

[I'm going too!] 】

Unexpectedly, he showed his will not back down, and 5PB-chan sat in the empty passenger seat behind the empty air, while holding a special guitar in his hand.

“…… Well! Let's go together! ”

Although there was a hint of hesitation, but when I thought of the previous 5pb sauce did not hide his strength, he used that ordinary-looking guitar to directly smash a crack in the ground, and the air was not blocking 5pb sauce - strength, but willfulness!

"Well, empty! And the empty pa! Please drive Yoni-sama and the others together, and I'll chase Nepkiya on a motorcycle from another side! IF immediately said to Kongpa, who had just run from the ambush site, and then pulled Nepkiya into his own locomotive.

"Okay Dess!" Kongpa immediately ran to the place where he parked, and pulled Euni, Lamb and Roma over together.

As the engine started, Sora looked at the tracker display on the map, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned the accelerator, and the locomotive immediately rushed out at full speed, and IF and Kongpa also set off.

The night pursuit battle with the target of the Lyra α has officially begun!
