| "Huh? Bubble... should be happy, right? After all, it's so energetic every time it appears... much more spirited than Chinatsu right after she finishes writing a song." |

"I'll practice one more time, no... ten more times! I can do this!"

Character History
- New Eridu Chronicles: "A Midsummer Night's Dreamscape"
Chinatsu came to the Dreamy Resort alone to relax and happened to run into those performing at the music festivalYao Jiayin, who picked up the melody she was humming; she was praised and felt shy, and was even invited to the stage to interact with Yao Jiayin during the music festival. During her conversation with Yao Jiayin, Chinatsu was so excited that she even referred to the group as a band, but Yao Jiayin wasn't angry and encouraged them on the Wild Angels' account.[2]。Judging from the multiple obvious traces of subsequent changes to the Wild Angels-related content in "Zenless Zone Zero," the setting for Wild Angels at that time might have actually been a band, rather than Chinatsu "mispeaking."Finally, she spent the Dreamy Music Festival with the Odd-Job Shop, Phaethon, Yao Jiayin, Evelyn, all other Agent companions to date (as of Version 2.1), and everyone gathered at the Dreamy Resort.
- Event: "Wish Delivery Station"
Chinatsu came to the Weifei District alone for errands and stopped by the beach at Qiulong Enclosure to cast drift bottles. However, because the bottles she prepared went missing, she had to use Nicole's delivery service to cast drift bottles for herself and Eri.
- Event: "Angels and Muse Delusion"
Chinatsu, lacking inspiration, went to Cape Desire with Mango Mousse (Phaethon) to find creative material. After drinking a Red Earl special, she composed a new song, "Bar Special."
All members of Mousou Angel went to the "Cauldron" hot pot restaurant in Lumina Square with Muse (Phaethon) and composed the new song "The Match is Decided." Mousou Angel is about to have their debut performance at "Studio 404."
- Event: "Mousou Angel in Training"
To welcome the surprise prepared by Teacher Cecilia in the best possible state, Delusion Angel sought a mysterious teaching assistant (Phaethon) for intensive training. With the help of the assistant and other support staff, they passed the weekly and final tests, learning that Cecilia's surprise was that Delusion Angel would perform for the first time at "Studio 404."
- Phaethon Chronicles Season 2 Interlude "Encore of Old Dreams"
As Gold-Paving Day approached, Delusion Angel was preparing for their first offline performance at "Studio 404" (hereafter referred to as 404), coinciding with the Phaethon siblings coming to 404 to deliver videotapes. Chinatsu was dissatisfied with Nangong Yu's behavior of snatching the score and intentionally singing an out-of-tune demo loudly; the two got into a scuffle, and Chinatsu tickled Nangong until she let go. The manuscript flew out of Nangong's hand; Eri tried to catch it, but the score still landed on Wise's face.Here, whether from Wise's or Belle's perspective, it hits Wise in the faceAfter some fooling around, Phaethon also learned about the difficulties Delusion Angel was currently facing. Chinatsu had already begun imagining terrible scenarios where tickets wouldn't sell, the performance failed, and the group became ignored again. But in the end, she chose to focus on creation to distract herself from anxiety and actively sought the opinions of Cecilia and Phaethon as the first listeners. However, preparing for the performance still required 500,000 Dennies, which was still a significant amount of money for the three of them. At this time, Eri mentioned that the "Wishing Sprite" recommended a commission in the Lemnian Hollow, and the reward happened to be 500,000 Dennies. Nangong Yu and Chinatsu felt something was wrong, so Chinatsu went to Lumino Square with Eri under the pretext of wanting to eat "Tea Immortal" snacks. Meanwhile, an anonymous client from Public Security informed Phaethon of recent incidents where intelligent construct citizens lost control and injured people, with the culprit suspected to be an illegal construct not registered with Public Security. Considering Phaethon's knowledge of both the "Lemnian Hollow" and "High-level Constructs," they commissioned the protagonist to go to the Lemnian Hollow to help find or directly eliminate the construct, with Case Officer Sisyph providing necessary explanations and assistance.
But after arriving at Lumino Square, Phaethon learned that the commission Eri received was one Sisyph had randomly posted on the Inter-Knot. The two also accidentally discovered Phaethon's identity as a Proxy, but on the other hand, this commission was a good opportunity to bring the three closer. During the adventure in the Hollow, Chinatsu consistently accompanied and encouraged Eri, andby comparing miseries,persuaded Eri to stop doubting herself. However, in the Hollow, the two encountered two abandoned and corrupted "A-H0L0" Phantom Arrow Unit high-intelligence tactical constructs. Eri suddenly became emotional and defeated the two Phantom Arrow Units along with Chinatsu. After witnessing the tragic state of her former kind, Eri believed she would eventually become like them and began to despair again. Seeing things were going wrong, Chinatsu quickly took Eri out of the Hollow with Phaethon and contacted Nangong Yu to discuss how to help Eri.
After returning to the Janus Quarter, to distract Eri and help her regain confidence, Nangong Yu took Chinatsu and Eri to give away tickets to friends and family like Vesper. However, while giving away tickets, Eri accidentally learned the truth that "Cecilia is actually Seishi," deepening her self-doubt. To stabilize Eri, Nangong Yu suggested going to Cape Desire to sell the remaining tickets and relax. Coincidentally, they met Burnice and Caesar there. To help Delusion Angel promote their performance, Burnice suggested Chinatsu perform on the spot. Facing an unfamiliar audience, a public performance, and concerns about dragging down the team, Chinatsu was initially very resistant. But with everyone's encouragement, she finally stood on stage and completed the song. This not only boosted Chinatsu's confidence but also proved to the whole team that their music and efforts could move strangers, gaining a wave of popularity.
After the performance on Preview Day, Cecilia noticed Eri's abnormality. Under the influence of the "Wishing Sprite,"after coming out of the Lemnian Hollow, Youkai took advantage of Eri's wavering to hack into Eri's logic core, even replacing the "Wishing Sprite." Therefore, Eri's avoidance and fear of burdening her teammates were the results of Youkai attacking Eri's logic core and providing negative suggestions.'s influence, Eri also questioned Cecilia, who had been hiding the voice substitute incident, in her construct form, falling into complete loneliness and self-doubt. Meanwhile, Youkai made a post on the Inter-Knot with pictures of Chinatsu being attacked by "A-H0L0" and framed Eri. Under Youkai's further manipulation, Eri chose to go into a voluntary sleep, and Youkai controlled Eri's body to wreak havoc in "Studio 404." Although Jane, who was present, controlled the situation, she disagreed with Nangong Yu and Chinatsu regarding Eri's placement. After Fairy secretly contacted Severian, Severian instructed Jane that she didn't have to take Eri away yet, so Jane agreed to help Chinatsu and Nangong wake Eri up.
In the videotapes, Chinatsu and Nangong saw Eri's memories and finally understood Eri's long-standing troubles and worries.
| “ | "Unlike those carefully selected groups, we didn't become a group because of 'what we can do' or 'what standards we meet'... The reason we're together is simply because we 'want' to be!" | ” |
| ——Chinatsu | ||
The calls from Chinatsu and Nangong Yu, along with the memory landscapes loaded by Fairy, allowed the lost Eri to find the meaning of her existence. The awakened Eri finally accepted her past, and Cecilia finally confessed the voice substitute incident to Eri in person and thanked her. The rift within the Delusion Angel team was completely eliminated.
After the Vesper incident, Chinatsu and Nangong followed Cecilia to Lumino Square. Facing a vacancy for the Lighting Ceremony performance, Cecilia suggested she take Vesper's place and invited Delusion Angel to complete the Lighting Ceremony performance together. For Delusion Angel, this was a shortcut to mainstream recognition and commercial success, but they valued 404 and the dreamers who came to 404 to watch the performance more. After a collective vote,Agreement reached, they decided by Rock-Paper-Scissors that Chinatsu would reject the offer in person.Afterward, the team had Chinatsu reject Cecilia's invitation in person—
| “ | If the other side of the scale is the Dreamers' waiting, "weighing" itself is worthless... We cannot give up the audience who already supports us for a chance that might lead to fame. | ” |
| ——Chinatsu | ||
Cecilia admitted it was a missed opportunity but expressed understanding for the trio's decision and was gratified that they kept their promise to the audience. Finally, on the night of Gold-Rush Day, Cecilia sang Delusional Angel's new song under the floating New Year Lanterns; Delusional Angel performed their debut on the 404 stage for the Dreamers. In different locations, they completed a dialogue and joint performance across time, space, and stages through the same song.
The Gold-Rush Day debut was a great success, and Chinatsu recalled making 5 mistakes during the performance.One of them was a surprise segment she carefully designed but forgot: taking a group photo with the audience using a selfie stick., but in the end, she successfully took a group photo with everyone who came to watch the performance. After the successful performance, Chinatsu immediately threw herself into preparing new works, while also worrying about the slow growth of online fans. As it turned out, the group calculated and found it was because she forgot to print the account address on tickets and other materials. She promised that the benefit of Phaethon's performance tickets and water bar drinks at 404 being paid for by Eri would still count in the future.
- Event: "Gravity-Reflected Moments"
Delusion Angel and Phaethon watched the movie "Travels in Wonderland" together at the Gravity Cinema. Through a lucky draw, Nangong Yu and Phaethon sat in the front row, while Chinatsu and Eri sat in the back row.
- Event: "Snap! Virtual Reality Showdown"
Sheila, Master Snap, and Phaethon participated in a mysterious stamp collection event. After collecting all the stamps, they discovered the event was organized by Chinatsu personally. As the only ones to collect them all, they received a stack of Delusional Angel performance tickets and a chance to take a photo with Chinatsu and Ms. Cecilia.
- Event: "Sizzling Freshness Quest"
On the second day of the event, Nanami revealed that Chinatsu had once found a mysterious record containing Ether energy, "1000 Bitter and Slow Love Songs" (appearing in the event "Joint Investigation: Labyrinth of the Gods"), near the Papago Hollow, which helped cool down Eri's overheating body and improve her operating efficiency. On the third day of the event, Chinatsu, Nanami, and Eri ran the reopened "Boiling Cauldron" hotpot restaurant (whose owner, Xinwei, was missing), where she was responsible for preparing desserts and drinks. She also went to Coco to get glutinous rice for making brown sugar rice cakes, which were pounded with the help of Belobog Heavy Industries, and then enjoyed hotpot with everyone.

Detailed Information
Chinatsu is a member of the idol group "Delusional Angel" and also the composer for all the music released by the team. Ensuring high-quality music creation while keeping up with everyone's practice schedule and coordinating stage performances is no easy feat for Chinatsu. Faced with overwhelming pressure, she sometimes employs the strategy of "running away is the best of the thirty-six stratagems" to escape Captain Nangong Yu's devilish scheduling.
Note: According to reliable intelligence, most of the time this strategy succeeds thanks to Nangong Yu intentionally letting her off the hook.
She has known Nangong Yu, a fellow member of "Delusional Angel", since childhood and grew up with her. Although they seem to enjoy bickering, they are actually very dependent on each other. She shares a common language regarding music with the other member, Airi; according to Airi, they often spend all day in the recording studio discussing the melodic treatment of new songs until they unknowingly fall asleep with their heads leaning against each other.
Chinatsu is relatively introverted and prefers being alone over group activities. However, her two teammates are well aware of her personality weaknesses—"difficulty saying no" and "inability to handle praise"—and are gradually helping her overcome her social anxiety through desensitization training (progress is approximately 25%).
Although most fans see Chinatsu's "useless" attribute as a rare charm point, she herself seems to want to tear off this label and become a confident "qualified idol". As the creator behind the music, she often wants to flee the stage, but in reality, Chinatsu is not as indifferent to performing as she claims to be.
Evidence: A sticky note by Chinatsu's bedside with the following written on it—Must never let the fans down, give them the best stage possible!
Chinatsu likes sweets that look cute, so she often buys food that looks good but has excessive sugar, which always draws ridicule from Nangong. Even so, when Nangong and Airi pick out gifts for Chinatsu, they still tacitly choose fancy-looking cupcakes.
Chinatsu also likes things with a pleasant fragrance and makes her own scented candles, as these help her focus her thoughts and spark inspiration. When entering her "Music Kingdom", Chinatsu becomes exceptionally focused, to the point where she can hardly hear any outside noise.
Note: According to Airi, Chinatsu once boiled Nangong's limited-edition teapot dry while writing a song and, to apologize, served her tea and water for over two weeks.
Collaboration Notes
Belle
I always feel like Chinatsu is like some kind of rare animal in a game that can only be spawned under specific conditions!
Last time, just to get her to go out clothes shopping with me, I pestered her for a whole week!
Wise
Yeah, I've experienced Belle's persistence many times... I'm sure Chinatsu couldn't handle it either.
