Originally, Inaba Tsukiyo wasn't the kind of Little Loli who looked majestic but was actually very soft-hearted; she was genuinely a very majestic Little Loli.
Although such a Little Loli, once conquered, would reveal an exciting side, before she was conquered, any action that displeased her could lead her to develop an aversion towards oneself.
Miku had very fortunately stepped on Inaba Tsukiyo's landmine. If this girl hadn't used her power to talk to her, Inaba Tsukiyo would have continued to chat with her calmly.
But this girl showed no sincerity, so why should she treat Miku with sincerity? She wasn't that kind.
"I don't know what power you've mixed into your voice, but when I released my first video, I watched your past concerts and listened to the songs you've released. I won't lie, your songs are indeed very pleasant to listen to, but there's always a power in your voice that can mesmerize people. This power manipulates the emotions of those listening to the song. You also use this method to make others like your voice."
She took out the niconico video of Miku's song and placed it on the table. Since there was no one else in the Coffee Shop, Inaba Tsukiyo played it directly.
Miku's singing was indeed very beautiful. Even without the mesmerizing power, Miku's songs would be very captivating.
However, in every one of her songs, every concert performance, she almost always used this power to sing. Even if these were songs sung by Miku herself, it wasn't Miku's original voice.
This was also the second reason, besides not believing the person was Miku's manager, when Miku's manager contacted her.
She didn't care what happened to her songs. Even if Miku used her songs without her permission, it didn't matter, because the purpose of songs was to make those who listened to them feel joy and happiness.
Just as chefs hoped that customers who tasted their food would smile, the fans who loved her singing were her greatest support.
But... but Miku was deceiving her audience. She was merely using this power to manipulate the audience's emotions, to deepen the enthusiasm of those listening to the songs.
"If... if you can sing with your original voice, I can give you the song unconditionally, even if you don't pay me. And I can give you songs whenever I have suitable ones for you. As long as you don't sing in this deceptive way, I can become your friend."
Friend. Becoming friends with Inaba Tsukiyo was Miku's goal this time. To achieve this goal, Miku had made countless plans in her heart.
She should have been happy. She should have immediately agreed to Inaba Tsukiyo's request, but Miku remained silent.
Sing with her original voice? Sing with her original voice without using her power?
The moment this thought appeared, Miku's pupils flashed with infinite fear.
Past scenes kept flashing: before she gained this power, she stood on stage, doing nothing, yet facing the cold and dark gazes of all the audience.
At that time, she desperately wanted to sing, to make a sound into the microphone she held, but no matter what, she couldn't make a sound in her fearful state.
That kind of scene magnified the fear in Miku's eyes. Under the influence of this fear, the spiritual power in Miku's body began to lose control and run wild.
For a time, Amamiya City issued a Spacequake alarm. People all over the city who were having dinner at home with their families rushed out of their homes in panic after hearing the Spacequake alarm.
"This is... a Spacequake. Could it be that..."
Besides the times when Spirits appear, there is another way to cause a Spacequake: when a Spirit deliberately causes it.
She knew this from the other Spirits in her family, and it was also a clue that confirmed Miku's identity.
As expected, Miku is also a Spirit. Her name contains the number 'Nine,' the color of her hair corresponds to the purple of the Sephira crystal, and the color of her pupils corresponds to metallic silver.
Why did Miku become like this? Inaba Tsukiyo didn't know what Miku had experienced in the past. She only wanted Miku to sing with her original voice, so why did it turn out like this?
Could it be that... Miku encountered something in the past that caused her to use her Spirit powers to manipulate the emotions of the audience listening to her songs after gaining those powers?
In other words, the reason she can't sing with her original voice is because she's afraid? Afraid that the songs she sings won't receive the support she expects? And instead, she'll be met with ridicule from the audience? Just like that incident?
Of course, these are just Inaba Tsukiyo's guesses. The only thing that could devastate a singer to the point where she can't even produce her original voice is the audience.
"Calm down."
In order to prevent Miku from causing a Spacequake, Inaba Tsukiyo held Miku's hand. Her hand was so cold, as if she had just walked out of an icehouse.
"Don't think about those things. No matter what you experienced in the past, those things are already in the past. Dwelling on the past is just the behavior of a coward."
While soothing Miku's emotions, she used her magic to calm Miku's feelings.
When Miku's emotions calmed down, the Spacequake alarm also disappeared, leaving those who were panicking and preparing to evacuate completely bewildered.
After the Spacequake alarm disappeared, Inaba Tsukiyo breathed a sigh of relief.
Releasing Miku's hand, just as she was about to return to her seat, Miku suddenly grabbed Inaba Tsukiyo's hand and pulled her into her arms.
"You..."
