Mash-up Anime World: Creating the SCP Foundation to Contain Anomalies-Chapter 349 - 342: Crossdressing for a Honey Trap, Luring Miku In

With a flick of his robe—

Haruto now seemed like a fairy maiden stepping out of a painting.

His brows and eyes were picturesque, his temperament like orchid, every gesture exuding a mysterious charm that made it impossible to look away.

He pressed lightly on his throat.

"Ah... ah ah... alright."

After a simple adjustment, the sweet girl voice was online again.

It was a perfect match for Haruto's current appearance.

He took a hand mirror out from the divine power space. Haruto examined himself briefly and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Tch, you think I can't get you like this?"

Although it wasn't something to brag about—Haruto could indeed say to 99% of girls: "Craving my body? You don't even look as good in a dress as I do!"

Then, Haruto prepared to walk out of the alley and begin his operation. But just as he stepped out, he nearly bumped into a girl head-on.

He staggered slightly for effect.

And the girl he "collided" with fell backward, landing on the ground.

"Ugh..."

She let out a soft whimper.

"Ah, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?" Haruto stepped forward and extended a hand with genuine concern.

"No, I should apologize. I'm fine, really..."

The girl quickly shook her head, thinking she shared part of the blame for the collision.

But the moment her hand touched the slender, fair one reaching toward her—and she looked up—she froze.

Even as Haruto helped her up, she remained stunned.

"So beautiful..."

She murmured, dazed.

Haruto gave a small cough.

That snapped the girl back to reality. Her cheeks flushed red, and she looked flustered. Due to the bump, some of the girl's belongings had scattered across the ground.

Haruto began picking them up.

"I can handle it... but thank you."

She initially wanted to refuse, but Haruto was too fast. In the end, she could only express gratitude.

"It's nothing. Just a small matter. But... are you an idol?"

Haruto handed the things back to her with a smile.

Among the documents on the ground were references to performances and events. Of course, this was just an excuse for Haruto to start a conversation.

This girl was none other than the internet singer "ARISA" that Haruto had identified earlier.

If it weren't her, Haruto wouldn't have bothered bumping into her.

With his extremely sharp senses, it was impossible he hadn't noticed someone coming from the corner.

"Sort of... I'm an online singer. I just recently started doing live shows."

"Oh right, my name is Arisa Meigo. Sorry if this sounds sudden, but... have we met before?"

Arisa asked curiously.

After all, she had just seen Haruto not long ago.

Although Haruto had slightly altered his appearance—it wasn't a complete change, just subtle modifications.

So naturally, he still felt familiar.

But because of the gender difference, she couldn't connect the dots.

"I'm Yuriko Suzushina."

Haruto casually lied.

At that moment, somewhere in Academy City, a certain white-haired individual sneezed without reason.

Arisa thought for a moment but couldn't recall hearing that name before. She could only dismiss her sense of familiarity as a coincidence.

Just as she was about to continue the conversation—

Her phone rang.

Arisa smiled apologetically and pointed at her phone. Haruto waved a hand, gesturing that it was fine.

On the phone, someone was asking for Arisa's location.

Probably staff from the event.

After a brief conversation, she hung up.

"Miss Yuriko, I'm sorry—I have to go. I've got a group performance to get to. If you're free, would you come watch my show? I promise you won't be disappointed!"

With that, Arisa pulled out a ticket from her pocket and handed it to Haruto.

He glanced at it.

It was a ticket for the second round of the Attack on Titan Movie Live Event.

And it was today.

No wonder Arisa and Miku were both performing around here. It was obviously pre-arranged as a promotional warm-up.

"I can't possibly take this for free. Let me pay to support you. I'm free anyway, so I'd love to watch."

Haruto smiled as he spoke.

Since it was round two, that meant Miku would also appear.

Arisa hurriedly waved her hands in refusal. After a little back-and-forth, she ended up not accepting the money but did exchange contact information.

Then the two walked to the venue together.

The venue was actually quite small, only enough for a few hundred people. But many streaming devices had been set up in front of the stage. Clearly, the event was meant to gain popularity more through online streaming than live attendance.

Haruto looked around using the ticket.

To his surprise, Arisa had given him a front-row seat, near the center.

Definitely an exclusive internal ticket. After parting ways, Arisa hurried backstage. Haruto waited in his seat with interest.

Time passed.

Soon, the venue lights dimmed.

Spotlights focused on the stage, and the curtains slowly opened.

The performance had begun.

One after another, contestants took the stage.

Some were famous online singers; others were rising idols.

A few amateurs appeared too, but they had all passed rigorous online auditions to be here.

Still—

Haruto found himself growing drowsy.

Once you've seen true greatness, everything else pales in comparison.

He had grown up watching his own superstar idol with stars in her eyes—these other performers simply didn't compare.

Just as he yawned—

A girl stepped onto the stage, dressed in a luxurious gown, with flowing silver-purple hair. She looked every bit the natural-born idol.

Miku was clearly on another level compared to those before her.

···

From the moment she appeared, she captured everyone's attention.

Even the clicking of her high heels had a strange allure. With her cold and elegant aura, every smile and glance stunned the audience.

Miku stood proudly, pleased with the crowd's reaction.

She truly loved this feeling—being the center of attention, adored by all.

If only the audience were all girls, she thought to herself.

She really couldn't stand men.

To an extreme degree—she believed they shouldn't even exist.

Just as she was about to begin her performance—her gaze inadvertently swept across the crowd.

And stopped on a certain figure in the front row.

There sat a girl.

Despite the dim lights, the distance, and the crowded front row—she shone like the moon amidst stars, making everything around her lose brilliance.

People couldn't help but stare.

"How can someone this perfect exist?"

Miku's heart trembled.

With just one look, she had fallen—hard.

Normally, she cared about personality—but for the girl before her, none of that mattered anymore.

She was simply too perfect.

Miku had to have her.

Meanwhile, in the audience, Haruto subtly activated the Tomie Mode.

The corners of his lips curled up.

"You think I can't control you like this?"

Once Tomie Mode is activated—

Forget girls—

Even dogs would come drooling.

(T/N: Arrgghhh, dude stop! You digging out some trauma from me!!)

That one look was enough to create eternity.

But quickly, Miku composed herself.

Her unique memetic traits gave her slight resistance to Tomie's effect. Still, she was genuinely attracted to Haruto.

And this performance—

Was the most passionate she had ever given.

Even her singing was infused with additional energy. Her eyes remained locked on Haruto—hoping to see that enchanted, love-struck gaze.

But—

It didn't come.

Miku noticed that Haruto's gaze remained calm and clear—not consumed like everyone else.

This left her feeling uneasy.

But also, even more restless.

The more unreachable it was—

The more maddening the desire.

In the past, if Miku wanted someone, all she had to do was mix a bit of power into her song.

And the person would be completely under her control.

Although that method was direct, it lacked a sense of accomplishment. Now, instead, Miku's gaze grew more and more fervent.
