Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 60 The Taste of Lip Glaze

"Let me do it. Miss Xingming is an artist, so of course she should sit somewhere with better air."

"It's no problem. I was able to survive in the AKSB48 small theater, where three or four people were squeezed into one dressing room."

The two girls walked side by side "in love with each other", saying "giving way to each other", but secretly trying to squeeze towards the middle position.

"The most inconvenient seat is, of course, for boys. What's wrong with you? Sit down! The movie is about to start!"

But Xia Fan, who was walking in the front, had already sat down in the middle seat casually.

"Xia Fan, you..."

"This guy is still as thick-skinned as ever."

The two girls sighed and could only sit on the seats on both sides of him, one on the left and one on the right.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing how the movie will turn out in the end.”

The lights went out, the screen lit up, and Horie Tsubasa was visibly nervous.

Before the official release of "Cursed Blade", several internal previews were actually held to discover, edit and correct existing problems, but for confidentiality reasons, the voice actors were not eligible to participate.

So far, she has not seen the complete product except for the clips she dubbed.

"By the way, it's been ten years since I read the first volume of Cursed Blade. It's been a long time since I last read it."

Xia Fan, who had almost no chance to watch movies due to his part-time job, hospital and school, also became excited.

"Life is not easy, but it is also happy."

"However, life is like the sky, changing all the time, with four seasons. It won't always be sunny, nor will it always be snowing, and... "

"When happiness is shattered, it is always accompanied by the smell of blood."

The movie officially begins amidst blood and snow.

Although the comic book "Cursed Blade" has been serialized for too long and contains too much content, the movie script directed by Haruo uses unexpectedly brilliant techniques to simplify the complex and cleverly and coherently integrate the most essential and key content together.

"There is only one promise, and that is to survive."

"No matter how many times, I will carry you on my back."

"Even if it hurts, I have to keep moving forward even if I have to roll on the ground."

The audience's eyes follow the gentle and strong Tojiro, who, carrying his sister who has transformed into a cursed spirit, becomes a "curse-destroying warrior" and embarks on the journey of seeking treatment and killing the cursed spirits.

"It's really a work with exquisite painting, thrilling battles, and surprisingly gentle core."

"But I don't seem to recognize Ms. Horie's voice. Which role is she dubbing?"

Watching the movie absorbedly, Hoshina Hanami felt that all the fatigue accumulated from work recently was forgotten. She reached out and touched the popcorn bucket...

"Eh?"

Then, she found that what she grabbed was not popcorn, but a warm palm.

"Ok?"

Xia Fan probably also wanted to eat popcorn, so he reached his hand into the bucket first, but was grabbed by Xing Ming Hanami.

"You, you take it first..."

Hoshina Hanami lowered her head shyly.

"Does what just happened count as holding hands?"

As she thought this, she unconsciously stuffed the popcorn into her mouth and sucked her fingers out of habit.

"Wait, did I indirectly lick Xia Fan's hand?!"

Staring blankly at the fingertips that had been licked clean, Hoshina Hanami's eyes widened and she felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerate.

"No, Hanami, calm down, it was just an accident."

She secretly glanced at Xia Fan, who was concentrating on watching the movie with his handsome profile facing her.

Seeing that the other party did not have any unusual reaction, she picked up the milk tea and took a sip, trying to calm herself down.

"Hmm? This cup is..."

After putting down the milk tea, she suddenly discovered a terrible fact, and her face suddenly turned red...

"...Xia Fan's?!" Just now, she accidentally took the wrong one in the dark...

Accidentally drank Xia Fan’s cup of milk tea!

"Oops, wipe it off quickly..."

Looking at the faintly visible red lip print on the white straw, Hoshina Hanami was still thinking whether to take the straw away and wipe it off...

"Come on, Toujiro, you can't lose to the Spider Curse!"

Xia Fan, who was chewing popcorn in his mouth, suddenly let out a low cry of ecstasy, picked up the cup of milk tea and took a big gulp.

"This milk tea tastes good, but why is it cherry flavored?"

Smacking his lips with satisfaction, Xia Fan put the milk tea back as if nothing had happened, his eyes never leaving the big screen from beginning to end.

"That...that's..."

Hoshina Hanami seemed to have given up resisting and slumped in her seat.

"…That's the smell of someone else's lip gloss."

She covered her face with her hands and spoke in a weak voice that only she could hear.

"The bond between us cannot be severed by anyone."

"We will always walk side by side and will never separate."

"Even if you are tripped, you must grit your teeth and move forward."

As the plot of the movie progresses, the audience witnesses Tojiro going through one tough battle after another.

"Go ahead, it doesn't matter if you take one step at a time."

"You can run away, you can cry, but you can't give up."

"As we spend the days together, I will pass this sword on."

"Even if my body is destroyed, I will definitely kill the cursed spirit!"

Every time a powerful cursed spirit falls, it also means that a close friend leaves forever.

In the setting where the power of cursed spirits far exceeds that of humans, the "Curse-Destroying Team" has no choice but to not fear sacrifice, inherit the will of the dead, and continue to become stronger, burning their lives to cut through the thorns that block their way.

"The Queen of Curses is about to appear."

Horie Tsubasa, who had not spoken for nearly an hour, suddenly spoke softly.

As expected, because several powerful subordinates fell to the hands of the protagonists one after another, the ultimate BOSS that ran through the entire plot and resurrected countless times...

The world's first cursed spirit, the Queen of Cursed Spirits, has appeared.

"I am always right, my words are absolute, you have no right to refuse."

"So what if your family members were killed? The dead cannot be resurrected. Just think of being killed by me as a natural disaster and be content with your luck."

Kurokawa Tsubasa's unique voice of low, sexy and arrogant, with just a few words, made the character "alive" and aroused the audience's hatred.

"The Queen of Curses has appeared. Does this mean that the final battle is about to begin?"

The unfolding of this hot-blooded youth comic's classic plot made Xia Fan energetic and sit upright.

The Queen of Cursed Spirits is the "signature villain" in this work and the creator of all cursed spirits. She has a very cruel and ruthless personality. She controls both humans and cursed spirits with absolutely terrifying means.

"Mr. Xia, did you know that the Curse Queen was originally a human?"

Horie Tsubasa stared at the screen without looking away, but his body moved closer to Xia Fan intentionally or unintentionally.

"The Curse Queen was once a princess of a certain ancient country thousands of years ago."

"She grew up under an almost harsh set of red tape, and from the moment she was born, she was burdened with the fate of being a 'marriage of peace'."

"She tried to resist countless times, but in the end she could not overcome the inertia of fate, and her lover died tragically as a result."

"When she was completely desperate about human nature and fate, her original personality was annihilated, and the newly born personality decided to seek power from the evil god, becoming the first cursed spirit."

"Behind her brutal and terrifying appearance, she is also extremely timid and afraid of death. She hates it when someone says she looks even slightly old, and she has a great obsession with immortality."

Her gentle voice rang beside Xia Fan's ears, telling him the background story of the "Cursed Queen".
