Chapter 2600: Chapter 1740: What the Hell Is This? (I’m So, So Hungry, Meow)

Dealing with these monsters didn’t take much time. With Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin joining in, these monsters were no match at all.

It’s just that......

Fighting and singing at the same time really makes it a bit hard to bear.

Watching the girls singing and swinging their weapons not far from him, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Actually, singing on the battlefield isn’t such an abstract behavior. After gaining Levatial, Duanmu Huai would also have them sing hymns to buff the Mecha Spirit when the Tribunal Fleet launched an attack. And in that Mech Battle World before, it wasn’t unheard of for someone to fight while singing in a robot.

But... that was all support from the rear!

What on earth are you doing, singing and chopping enemies to pieces on the front line?

Although Fureya had explained to him that this could prevent those monsters from shifting between Subspace and the real world, it was still hard to hold it in. Besides, why couldn’t they just play music directly like he did? Watching the girl in front swinging her head and singing while slicing enemies to pieces, what kind of abstract art is this?

Alright, even on his side it’s the same... Damn, that’s why I hate art!

Thanks to those bastards, the Emperor’s Sons, Duanmu Huai had some psychological shadows about art. Singing a song or acting in a movie is fine, but if you bring that onto the battlefield, Duanmu Huai’s PTSD from Death Barbie Pink is going to act up.

He now had the urge to kill both sides.

Just like the restless Duanmu Huai, the two girls fighting alongside him would occasionally glance back curiously at these two strangers who suddenly appeared.

Are they Symphogear like us? But they don’t seem to be? Especially with this girl’s pitch-black battle armor, which looks completely different from their own outfits. And she isn’t even singing, just playing it through her armor’s cell phone?

Is that possible?

Theoretically, it shouldn’t be. The Symphogear’s melody mechanism lets the user resonate better with the Holy Relic, thus boosting their strength. That’s why they’re able to fight hundreds of monsters with just the body of a girl. By chanting a specific melody, they can gain immense power... Thus, in battle, they must keep singing.

However, the girl before them was completely different. Not only that, but the songs emanating from her gave off a completely different feeling. Though it wasn’t a song she sang herself, they felt their bodies becoming stronger, and their spirits more elated!

The body feels so light, and it’s the first time fighting with such a joyous heart!

There’s nothing to fear anymore!

"Boom!!!"

With the last monster falling, the battle was declared over. Duanmu Huai silently took out his phone and turned off the music. Then the pitch-black Power Armor he wore quickly melted like snow, sinking into the shadows at Duanmu Huai’s feet.

At the same time, the two girls also released their transformations and came to her.

"Thank you for your help."

The red-haired girl at the front casually smiled at Duanmu Huai.

"Without your help, things would have been much worse. We’re really grateful!"

"No need to be so polite."

Duanmu Huai shook his head, while also curiously eyeing the girl in front of him. Although both had released their transformations, their clothes didn’t look like ordinary girl’s clothes either?

"Oh, this?"

Noticing Duanmu Huai’s curious glance at her clothing, the red-haired girl smiled a bit embarrassedly.

"We’re actually in the middle of a concert, didn’t expect something like this to happen..."

"I see..........."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

Originally, Duanmu Huai thought this was the typical Magic Girl hiding identity plotline where they secretly transform to protect humans, but it doesn’t seem like it?

At this moment, the red-haired girl tilted her ear as if receiving a message from someone.

"Ah, Uncle! Thank goodness, are you alright... Umm, everything’s fine here too... Umm... okay."

The red-haired girl’s expression turned quite serious before she lifted her head to look at Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin.

"The two of you, Uncle wishes to meet you. Could you come with us?"

"Of course, no problem."

Duanmu Huai was also eager to know the current situation in this world.

Soon, a helicopter arrived, taking the group away from the devastated venue. Both sides took this opportunity to introduce themselves, and Duanmu Huai learned that these two girls were part of an idol group. The red-haired girl was called Tenpou Zou, and the blue-haired girl was called Feng Mingyi. Together they formed an idol group named ZweiWing, who sang and danced on regular days, but transformed into Magi... well, calling them Magic Girls works too.

So, it’s basically Magic Girls transforming to save humanity.

And those slime jelly-like mutated monsters they faced were known as Noise.

According to Tenpou Zou, no one knows where this Noise comes from, only that a few decades ago, these monsters suddenly appeared in this world and launched attacks on humans.

Moreover, they possess a bizarre ability called phase difference barriers, as Fureya mentioned, allowing them to switch freely between two worlds. This ability lets Noise reduce damage from the world’s enemies and even render themselves immune.

Therefore, facing these enemies, the effect of human armies and weapons is extremely limited. Although one could attack and kill them during their attack moments, as mentioned earlier, outside that instant, Noise is always in another world, making it impossible for physical attacks in this world to hit them.

Only using the unique Symphogear system can someone actively attack and kill these Noise.

As for its principles, even Tenpou Zou couldn’t explain clearly, and Feng Mingyi’s saying is that the melody of singing activates fragments of Holy Relics, enabling them to gain the powerful strength of Holy Relics to fight.

Holy Relics? Why haven’t you tried summoning a Heroic Spirit?

Tenpou Zou seems to believe Duanmu Huai and the others are also possessors of the Symphogear system, so she curiously inquired if they were using the latest combat system. To this, Duanmu Huai simply stated it would be kept secret for now and discussed after reaching headquarters.

That’s right, here there’s Magic Girls and also headquarters, called the Special Disaster Countermeasure Mobile Department...... Hmm?

Wait a minute.

Monsters attacking humans, an organization fighting against monsters, and people in the organization transforming to fight monsters?

Are you sure this isn’t Ultraman?

Actually, Ultraman is pretty good, if Duanmu Huai were to comment.

Just avoid watching the cliché scenes where Ultraman defeats the small monsters.

And, pretty girls are always preferable to perverts wearing tight leather outfits.

Later, Duanmu Huai arrived at a secret underground base and met the Commander here.

"Hello, I am Fengming Xianshiling, the person in charge here."

Appearing before Duanmu Huai was an uncle with red hair, wearing a red shirt and casually tying a tie.

Speaking of which, your last name is also Fengming. Are you related to that girl named Feng Mingyi?

Duanmu Huai silently glanced at the blue-haired girl not far away, while Fengming Xianshiling laughed heartily.

"I’m Yi’s uncle."

"Oh........."

This thing involves connections? But when you think about it, some humanoid robot pilot, it’s not that surprising.

"Well then, if you don’t mind, can you tell us about your origins?"

Fengming Xianshiling’s expression suddenly became serious. He stared at Duanmu Huai and then asked.

Duanmu Huai, naturally, didn’t mind.

"I’m Duanmu Ai, and this is Hei Chuan Chi Yin, we are from the Tribunal."

Upon hearing this, Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s eyes flashed with a joyful gleam as she stared at Duanmu Huai.

After all, since Duanmu Huai did say "we" are from the Tribunal, it means he already considers himself as part of the Tribunal?

"Tribunal?"

"The Tribunal’s duty is to protect humans and eliminate anything that threatens them at all costs."

Duanmu Huai, as usual, was honest and straightforward.

"And the purpose of our arrival is to eradicate the ringleader of all this."

With these words, Duanmu Huai stared at Fengming Xianshiling.

"If possible, can I meet the designer of your system?"

That’s right, in fact, after listening to Feng Mingyi explain about the Symphogear system, Duanmu Huai became interested and puzzled by its designer. Though a bit awkward, Duanmu Huai considered this thing to be very similar to the Hymn system in Tower Language.

However, previously in this world, there was no such heritage, whether in the era of Fureya and Nolan or the era of the Evil Dragon that Duanmu Huai later traveled to, he had never heard of defeating enemies by enhancing oneself with singing.

So the question arises, who designed this system?

Of course, Duanmu Huai did not forget the damage he caused to the Star Gods when he fought against them earlier. Although he didn’t completely devour the opponent, he injected the concept of Shirai Kiri into the opponent’s body. Coupled with the emotional torrent condensed through the Hymn, it was enough to help the Star Gods form a new body.

"Of course, no problem."

Fengming Xianshiling obviously couldn’t guess the strange thoughts turning in Duanmu Huai’s mind, but he quickly nodded.

"However, I also have one thing I hope you can help with."

"What is it?"

"I hope you can enter school."

"............???"

The span from saving the world to enrolling in school is a bit too much, isn’t it?

"Can you explain a bit more?"

"Of course, in fact, this is related to saving the world."

At this point, Fengming Xianshiling paused for a moment and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Do you know StarLight?"
