"I have something to tell Izumi-san."
The woman who appeared in front of Zoila Affair.
The person Eury Out Valante had warned her about.
The stalker who kept following Marola, the harpist who performed at Zoila Affair's shop.
Zoila Affair, having heard the stalker was a highly skilled assassin, stayed on high alert.
"Izumi-san is not here right now. If you have a message, I'll pass it on."
The woman spoke calmly.
"He is being targeted by a truly monstrous being. Even Eury Out Valante alone cannot protect him. Please tell him as soon as possible. I don't want to see Marola's sad face."

I kept relentlessly violating the Karina doll.
"Nnnnngh!!!"
The Karina doll's pussy felt incredible, but this was just normal sex. Inside, AYAKA was crying tears of joy even while being used.
"Nnnn♡♡♡"
This wasn't punishment at all.
Now what?
Punishment… punishment, huh.
This woman had poured so much passion and love into her songs.
If I really wanted to hurt her, the most devastating thing would probably be—
I pulled the cloth gag out of AYAKA's mouth.
"U… uuu…"
AYAKA groaned.
Then I said,
"You know… I actually don't like 'LUV SONG'."
AYAKA froze solid.
"I only liked the stuff up to 'I Don't Like POPSTAR'."
The indie second mini-album.
After that, the music style changed drastically.
She started using a lot of Japanese lyrics, and the music shifted to match.
"Your love song never reached me."
The moment those words left my mouth—
"…Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!"
AYAKA screamed and broke down crying.
"Why?!?!?! 'LUV SONG' was a masterpiece! Everyone praised it! Why, of all people, didn't it reach you?!?!?!"
Why? Because our tastes simply didn't match.
I only liked the really fast stuff.
"I mostly liked the rhythm section anyway."
I didn't think I was saying anything that cruel, but AYAKA was completely shattered.
I felt a little bad for going too far.
But then AYAKA asked in a trembling voice,
"…What song did you like?"
What song… hmm. My absolute favorite was—
"'Unstoppable Machine Gun Jab', I guess?"
The fastest track in Crazy Nasty's entire history.
Basically, I was telling her I only cared about speed.
AYAKA whispered the title like a prayer.
"…Unstoppable… Machine Gun Jab…"
After a long silence she said,
"…I was wrong."
Oh. It got through surprisingly easily.
"I misunderstood. That was my mistake."
"You get it now~?"
The penguin walked in, casually drinking sake.
"Yes. I understand now."
I couldn't see AYAKA's face from this position.
Because she was still stuck in the spanking bench, ass up.
"Good~ Then you can go home now."
"Okay. Thank you."
And just like that,
The Karina doll stopped moving.
"…Eh? That's it?"
I still hadn't finished inside her.
When I looked around, the penguin had already disappeared.
That damn bird ran away again.

Psychiatric ward.
AYAKA opened her eyes.
Dream or reality? It didn't matter to her.
"…Unstoppable Machine Gun Jab…"
That song had always been special to her.
"I rushed things too much."
It was still entirely in English, the first song where she mixed in love.
Izumi hadn't paid any attention to the lyrics, but both AYAKA herself and those around her had praised the lyrics as exceptional.
"I was wrong. The mistake was believing my feelings had reached him."
AYAKA's understanding was completely different from what Izumi had intended.
What Izumi had meant by "I have no personal interest in you" was interpreted by AYAKA as "It's still too early to talk about love."
No matter what, AYAKA was a woman of obsessive, one-sided love.
Three days after her consciousness returned.
"…Did something trigger this?"
The doctor was shocked at how calm AYAKA's mental state had become.
She no longer had violent outbursts. But it had only been three days.
They remained cautious.
One week passed. Then one month.
The doctor finally called in her family and the band members who had supported her.
"To be frank, at this stage she can be treated as an outpatient."
The band members' faces lit up.
"Really!?"
"Constant supervision is still recommended. However, the violent episodes have completely stopped. We cannot justify keeping a patient in this condition restrained any longer."
Her family—
"…Doctor, thank you so much for everything."
A woman bowed deeply.
AYAKA's mother.
Behind her stood a large man.
"The return of the sister is a joyous occasion!"
A big man wearing sunglasses.
AYAKA's mother had been through multiple divorces.
Her real father was already dead, so her only blood relative was this mother.
And this was her mother's current husband.
His stepson was the big man.
"You came all this way."
The band's drummer spoke familiarly with the large man.
"I'm thrilled! Genre differences are tiny things! I'm praying for the sister's full comeback!"
The big man grinned.
"We'll be cheering for your continued success as well, M.C. Quu-san."
