Zenless Zone Zero: The Almighty Incubus of Sixth Street

”Brother, you’re back. How was your date with Zhu Yuan?”

When Belle noticed Wise had returned, she asked casually. He seemed to recall something and couldn’t help rubbing his forehead.

”There was a bit of an unexpected turn. I ran into Miyabi on the way...”

”You ran into Miyabi? So it turned into a date with three people? Wasn’t that fun?” she asked with a grin.

’If only it had been like that!’ Wise refuted Belle’s words in his heart.

During the date, Miyabi and Zhu Yuan, who were old classmates, had spent the entire time arguing.

Whether it was over major issues or trivial ones, they could never reach an agreement, so he had to make the final decision every time.

More than anything, it was mentally exhausting.

The most troublesome part was that, in the end, Zhu Yuan suddenly said she had something to do and left.

Wise was inclined to believe she simply couldn’t stand arguing with Miyabi anymore.

Not long afterward, Miyabi also left after receiving a work assignment.

With both of them gone, Wise had no choice but to head home as well.

”I see... Brother, you really had it rough. So, do you need your cute little sister to help you unwind?”

As Belle spoke, the video store’s door was pushed open once again. The person who walked in was Ellen, which surprised Wise.

He remembered Ellen was supposed to be out with her friends.

So why was she back so early?

”Hmm? You’re already back?”

A hint of surprise appeared on Ellen’s face. It seemed she’d originally planned to wait for Wise to return to the video store before asking him to help her ”practice.”

’Well, at least I don’t have to wait so long,’ Ellen thought as she slowly walked toward Wise.

As Ellen pulled him into a passionate kiss, Wise immediately sensed the intense emotions born from the girl’s jealousy.

Fortunately, Ellen still kept herself under control, and her sharp teeth never scratched his lips.

Soon afterward, the two headed to his bedroom for a very deep ”talk.”

A few hours later...

”Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ellen lay beside Wise, looking somewhat drowsy. She couldn’t understand the smile on his face.

”No, I just feel like you were acting a little differently today.”

”Differently how?”

”Uh, do you really want me to say it?” Wise replied with a teasing smile.

”Better not...”

Ellen shyly pulled the blanket over her face, but the adorable sight made Wise unable to resist hugging her once more.

”Ellen, stay here tonight.”

”...Mm.”

Ellen was very happy today.

A few days later, on an ordinary morning, Belle sat in front of the TV, but the atmosphere was as tense as a battlefield inside a Hollow.

”Brother! Astra’s show is about to start! Want to watch it together?”

”Coming, coming. It hasn’t started yet, has it?”

”Brother, hurry up! I’m so excited!”

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the TV, followed by a familiar face appearing on the screen.

|| The Starloop is also a place full of meaning to me. Countless musicians have performed on this stage, including my musical mentor, Mr. Joran de Winter. I hope my concert can carry that same kind of meaning. ||

|| Astra, then what is the theme of this New Year’s concert? Will it be a tribute to Mr. Joran? ||

|| Hmm... As for the theme, it’s probably something like ’Shining Moment.’ With the New Year approaching, I hope everyone can seize their own moments of happiness. ||

Astra’s reply immediately caught the interviewer’s attention, and he quickly seized the opportunity to press further.

|| Eh? That sounds like there’s some hidden meaning behind it. Have you found your own happiness? Care to share a little? ||

|| Hmm, that’s quite a mischievous question. I’ve always been blessed with happiness, which is why I want to share those feelings with all of New Eridu through my music. ||

Astra gracefully sidestepped the interviewer’s pointed question, avoiding both further speculation and any unnecessary controversy.

|| So, thank you all for your support. I’ll be waiting for everyone at the Starloop~ ||

As Astra’s words faded, the TV program cut to a new scene, and Belle’s expression immediately turned serious.

”Hmph... Time to buy tickets!”

There was a hint of confidence in her voice. After all, their family had a super AI.

She turned toward Fairy, who was beside her.

”Fairy, are you ready? The moment I give the command, act!”

|”Confirmed. Upon receiving the command, I will immediately hack into the ticketing platform to acquire tickets.”|

Fairy acknowledged Belle’s order, then turned to Wise to complain about workplace bullying, claiming someone was assigning non-work-related tasks to a diligent, dependable, and highly capable employee.

”Alright, Fairy. Actually, I really want a ticket too. Could I trouble you?”

Wise spoke gently as he reached out and stroked Fairy’s head.

|”Confirmed. Since it’s Master’s request, I will certainly fulfill it!”|

”Hmph. Brother’s words really are effective. Don’t forget whose credit it is that you’re all in your current positions.”

Belle pouted in dissatisfaction, but then suddenly remembered something. She glanced at her phone, and her face instantly turned pale.

”Oh no! The tickets! When did they quietly go on sale?! Fairy, quick, act!” Belle urged.

|”Confirmed. Hacked into the ticketing platform.”|

|”Remaining tickets: zero. Mission failed.”|

”Ahhh!”

Hearing Fairy’s report, Belle immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream, yet Fairy still wasn’t finished.

|”Debriefing: Mission failed. If the command had been issued 181 milliseconds earlier, the tickets could have been acquired. I apologize, Master, for failing to complete the task you assigned.”|

|”I am willing to accept your punishment. Do not pity me. Please feel free to...”|

”Stop! It hasn’t come to that yet!”

Wise immediately cut Fairy off before she could continue. If she actually finished that sentence, things would become very awkward.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by anyone else, Belle was slowly sinking into despair.

”I won’t get to see Astra...? Ah... my brother has seen Astra so many times. Is this the protagonist’s halo?”

”Yes. Confirmed.”

”Wuwu... Brother, are you and Fairy in cahoots?!”

”Of course not. Why would you think that?”

The two bickered for a few minutes, and after Belle finally accepted that she wouldn’t be getting any tickets, her mood became even gloomier.

She even considered asking Wise to get her a private invitation from Astra, but quickly dismissed the idea.

It didn’t feel right, even though she desperately wanted to attend the concert in person.

”How about checking for scalper tickets? There should already be some on Inter-Knot.”

Unable to bear seeing his sister so dejected, Wise offered a suggestion.

Belle’s eyes lit up for a moment before she slowly shook her head.
