70-Episode 66 Time For Select
That vampire, called Tokihara, had gained the strong trust of the islanders, including Chief Berger and the rest of the islanders. Even though it was unavoidable to rescue Inugami, and even though Tokihara himself had deceived the islanders and killed several people from the shadows, some of the islanders who had been close to him had quite mixed feelings about it.
Of course, there were many who were angry at the murder of their children and friends first, and many who were grateful to Kyousuke and others for defeating that Tokihara and taking revenge as a result. In both cases, it is a complicated story.
With such a complicated story in mind, the trading meeting on Delph Island was to be held.
The square was lined with a large quantity of goods brought by the marine caravan and prepared by the students of Year 2 Class 4. Part of the situation had the appearance of a cultural festival. Other island chiefs proceeded to buy from the catalogue according to the arrangement. But Chief Berger was not among them. He was still blocked up, it seemed.
Chief Bergel is said to have been on good terms with Tokihara, but as he initially said, he led the blood donation from the islanders as an \'apology\' to the second year 4 students. He convinced the islanders of their aversion to vampires and helped them to collect blood for Beni.
One of the islanders, Tokihara, had been one of the islanders, Chief Bergel had said, because he had been a nuisance to the students of Year 2 and 4. It was a rational statement, and he was not wrong.
But still, in his mind, there must have been a feeling of anger and hatred in his heart for the students of Year 2 Class 4 who murdered his friend. How painful it was to have to push it away and act in the best interest of his friends\' enemies as the \'head of the island\'.
"Asuka, for the time being, we\'ve collected the blood.
As Benii is resting languidly in the shade of a tree, Ryuzaki brings a bottle of blood to her.
It\'s about two liters in volume. Benii glanced at the bottle and asked.
\'\'........What is your blood type?\'\'
No, I don\'t know. Do you mind if I do?
I\'m just saying. Your blood type doesn\'t make you taste any different.
Near Beni are Kaoruko, Harui and Snake Mound. The summer sun shines down on the island of Delph. Even in the shade of the trees, the reflected heat of the sandy beach slowly burns their bodies. Harui fluttered his wings, sending a breeze through them.
\'Blood.\'
Kaoruko says, staring intently into the bottle.
\'This way of drinking........ It\'s tasteless and I don\'t really like it....
Don\'t be extravagant. I knew you wanted to take a bite out of my neck or something.
\'It\'s a meal that includes their body temperature and smell. But, yeah, thanks.
Benii received the bottle from Ryuzaki and finally took a sip.
Although this thick liquid has been compared to tomato juice in many media, the liquid poured into the bottle is, without a doubt, blood. They all watched as their classmate, Benii Asuka, slowly drank up the human blood that had been extracted with a syringe.
\'\'........it\'s not something to look at that much.
Beni blurted out.
\'You don\'t think anything of it?\'
What?
No, it\'s nothing.
When Ryuzaki nodded his head, unable to grasp the intent of his statement, Benii said bluntly.
It seems that Kaoruko, Harui, Snakezuka and the others don\'t quite understand what Benii is trying to say.
Instead, Benii asked this.
\'\'........Is there anything unusual about Utsurogi or Himemizu?\'\'
Nothing. Same as always.
Hmm..... Well then, Goubayash is.
As usual, but...
It was common for Benii to be concerned about Kyousuke, who had become a household member, but when the unexpected name came up there, Ryuzaki wondered.
\'What\'s wrong with Utsurugi and Goubayashi?\'
I might. What about Harao and Gofunawara?
No, they\'re the same. Five-fifths are selling at a trade fair and Harao is sleeping in a coffin.
.........
Beni places the empty bottle on the beach and makes a difficult face.
Her skin seemed to have improved somewhat in color. The luster and vibrancy had returned. While Ryuzaki and the others were relieved, Harui spoke up for their doubts and asked Benii.
\'\'Asuka, is there something you\'re worried about?\'\'
\'Yeah...\'
Beni put a hand to his chin and nodded.
\'Ryuzaki. I need you to gather everyone together tomorrow after we leave the island.
\'All right. You have something important to talk about again, don\'t you?
\'Yeah..... "Talk about a filter."
"Utsurogi-kun!
Hmm?
Kyousuke, who was standing alone in the trading hall, was approached.
When the trade fair began, there wasn\'t much Kyousuke could do. It\'s not that he helped create the items for sale, he\'s not particularly amiable, nor is he an appearance that wouldn\'t scare the islanders. I was looking out at the ocean from the sandy beach, as I wasn\'t handy after all.
The one who called out to me was Sakuma Shoko. She\'s more suited to sellers as opposed to Kyousuke, so she should have been on that side of the trade fair, but it seems that she had a hand free.
Maybe it\'s because this Albadamba is hot, but Sakuma isn\'t wearing a dress or jacket like she bought in the bazaar of the Knight Kingdom. It\'s the same gnarly leather-made bondage fashion as when he first moved here. It\'s a good thing that you\'re able to have a good time with them, because they\'re so familiar, but the combination with the white Nagisa is a terrible mismatch, and it drives up an incomprehensible lust.
Well, the skeleton has no lust or anything else. In the end, Kyousuke averted his gaze a bit, only because he was embarrassed to look at the bouncing breasts.
\'\'Are you done with the seller?\'\'
Yeah, it\'s all sold out.
Sakuma said with a smile and sat down next to Kyousuke.
This was the first time Kyousuke knew that a tail like a spade was growing out of his tail area.
\'Sakuma, you\'ve done a lot of good work.
Oh, yeah. Thanks. I feel like I wasn\'t the only one, but...
No, this time it\'s Sakuma.
Kyousuke also rescued Inugami, defeated Tokihara, rescued Sakuma, and did a lot of other things, but I guess the NovelFireP this time around would still be Sakuma. Kyousuke\'s activities were rather subdued.
\'\'.........\'\'
.........
That\'s where the conversation stopped.
The sound of waves crashing on the sandy beach sounded too far away from the hustle and bustle of the trading party behind me.
It\'s not that it\'s unusual for conversation to stop. Neither Kyousuke nor Sakuma are very good talkers, so this kind of thing has happened often since the days when they were talking in the library. Still, at that time, I could have just read the book, so I didn\'t have to feel too awkward about it.
\'\'........What is this?\'\'
Kyousuke thought.
It has nothing to do with the presence or absence of books again. There was something different about this stop in the conversation than in the library.
\'\'Well I have something I want to apologize to Utsurogi-kun for.
Hmm, what?
I was thinking of using the charm on Mr. Utsurogi once.
That being said, Kyousuke couldn\'t help but look at Sakuma.
It\'s not that he was terribly distressed, it\'s just that the succubus girl\'s profile, staring at the sea, was there. Just the profile of a succubus girl staring at the sea was there.
《Enchantment》 is a whore, a succubus, an incubus\' race ability. It interferes with the opponent\'s psyche and causes a strong effect. It\'s temporary, but it makes the user feel a strong attraction to the user. When it is said that he \'tried to use\' it on himself, as expected of Kyousuke, he is not calm.
Why would he do such a thing, he tried to say, but Kyousuke kept his mouth shut.
There are not many situations where someone would go out of their way to use "fascination" on a classmate. There was no limit to how much he could pry out of the mind of the reason. If that was the correct answer, would it be too much to let him speak from his own mouth?
\'I see,\'
And eventually, Kyousuke said.
\'\'What\'s \'so what?\'...\'\'
I quickly regret the statement in my head, which was beyond bland.
\'I\'m sorry, Utsurogi-kun.
Oh, no, no, it\'s not really anything to be concerned about, you know...?
But you like Himemizu-san, don\'t you, Utsurogi-kun?
Butt.
There should be nothing to gush about, but I couldn\'t help but gush. I didn\'t expect Rin\'s name to come up there.
I like Rin, I thought.
I knew that was what he meant.
It is true that I am attracted to her. I feel like I\'m attracted to her. It\'s a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. But there\'s no way to give any more intrusive answers. There is a strong doubt in my mind that I am "compatible" with someone else.
But, wait, what the hell is this Sakuma saying and doing? No, I can understand what she is saying and doing. It\'s about time I wanted to graduate from \'Kyousuke Soraki, who doesn\'t understand people\'s minds\'. But here, trying to understand Sakuma\'s mind is an extremely dangerous act. I don\'t know if my own mind can bear it.
\'\'Ugh, ugh.........\'\'
Kyousuke held his head down.
Kyousuke Soraki hates two-timing. It feels right to say these things crisply. But I didn\'t have the courage to say it. What a shameful story.
\'\'I still have a lot of training to do...\'\'
You\'re a trained...?
I did. No, I like you, Rin.
Yes.
Kyousuke said, and there was a little gulping sound next to him.
\'\'But I don\'t hate Sakuma that much either...\'\'
Yes.
Do you think I\'m an a**h*le?
Maybe.
Giggling, I can see Sakuma laughing.
\'Utsurogi-kun, you\'re not saying that you don\'t want to hurt me, are you?
No, I don\'t. I think. Maybe.
Having said that, Kyousuke himself isn\'t sure what\'s clear. He doesn\'t dislike Sakuma, but because he doesn\'t dislike her, is it because he doesn\'t dislike her, or is he genuinely harboring an equal amount of fondness for her as Rin?
In the first place, isn\'t this kind of thing called a two-way street after all...? You haven\'t made a clear statement of intent, so it\'s still just barely acceptable...? No, if this is out, can I give a clear answer...?
You\'re not empty, are you, Mr. Utsurogi?
It\'s really complicated to be told under these circumstances...!
But it was good.
Sakuma stood up and brushed the sand from his buttocks with his hands.
\'I\'m going to do my best to keep up with Himemizu-san.
He had a big smile on his face. Looking directly at him, I was a little dazed.
It wouldn\'t be that he had used 《Emersion》. But I felt my heart leap. Although I don\'t have a heart. His heart tingled, and he felt a sense of guilt, as if he was being unfair to Rin somehow. In other words, that might have been Kyousuke\'s true intentions, but I dare to put a lid on my heart here.
It\'s a class change from empty to the lowest. I don\'t know which is better.
\'\'Oh, please be gentle........\'\'
As for Kyousuke, he had no choice but to say so.
The next day, the entire second year group of four left the United Maritime Nation of Albadamba. Not many islanders came to see them off.
All of the goods obtained at the trade fair were to be sold to the Welcano Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the original agreement; the 2 Year 4 group would obtain the currency of this world and use part of it to prepare materials for the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Welcano and the rest of the maritime caravan were to stay on the island for a while longer, but the heavy duty detachment would continue straight to the Vernetus Peninsula in the southeastern part of the continent.
Vernetus, which juts out into the sea in a manner reminiscent of the Izu Peninsula in the Japanese archipelago and the Italian Peninsula in the Mediterranean, is a region far removed from imperial control, and is said to be an extremely warm-hearted people due to its favorable climate and topography. It is home to a human state, but it is also very tolerant of other species.
From the Vernetus Peninsula, we travel northward across the eastern side of the continent to the Eastern Forest where Master Magina resides. Once we reach the Eastern Forest, we will be able to return to our former world. A mood of optimism was prevalent in the class due to the steady progress.
\'Hey, Kyousuke.\'
As Kyousuke watches the Albadamba recede from the deck, Hikano Akira arrives.
\'Ei, are you okay with seasickness?\'
Yeah. Well. For now.
I still don\'t quite understand how a wobbling fireball causes motion sickness. But if he says he\'s drunk, he\'s drunk, and if he\'s not, he\'s probably not there.
Kyousuke looked around as Ei came up next to him.
\'\'Where\'s.......Rin?\'\'
I saw you talking to Kenzaki earlier. What\'s wrong?
...Oh no, not that there\'s anything wrong with it...
Inexplicably, lately, I\'ve been feeling uncomfortable with Rin\'s absence next to me. It\'s been nearly three months since we came to this world, and since we spent more time together than not, it\'s probably natural. I get anxious when we are apart even a little bit. It\'s not a good trend.
\'I hear you\'re still thinking about things the hard way, as usual.
I\'m not so sure.
\'Yes. I suppose you can do what you want... but, well, that might still be difficult for Kyousuke.
Ei said, lining up next to Kyousuke.
\'Let\'s think of something else to distract ourselves,\'
Another thing?
For example, what\'s going to happen to the bloodline.
That doesn\'t sound like a good distraction...
But it\'s something Kyousuke has been wondering about, too. Ei gave him the opportunity to think again.
The confrontation situation with the Blood Clan has reached another major turning point here. A face-to-face encounter with the "king" through Beni\'s body. Her betrayal was exposed in earnest to the head of the blood clan. Even now, we have no idea what they\'re going to do.
And the fact that they have to settle things with the bloodline has not changed either. When he returns to his former world, Beni is not promised peace of mind. With that in mind, the question arises as to where the Blood Clan\'s home base is.
\'\'I think their home base is in the New Continent.
Ei said.
The new continent is also on the map of this world that Serena prepared for me. From Albadamba, it\'s an unexplored continent located further down south. To be precise, it is said to have been visited several times by curious adventurers, but the full extent of it is not entirely clear.
It\'s quite possible that the vampires are going through this Albadamba in order to travel, so it\'s quite possible. But, or it could be that they\'re just heading east of the continent, avoiding the Empire\'s controlled territory, just like the path of the second year and four groups.
\'\'If it\'s a new continent, then we\'re going to be moving away from their home base from now on.
\'On the contrary, if it\'s on the east side of the old continent, then we\'re getting closer to the enemy\'s stronghold.
Kyousuke and Ei stood side by side and pondered.
\'Come to think of it, everyone in the class beat the pawn too, right?
\'Yeah, apparently. I think the atmosphere in the class is gradually coming together. Even compared to when Washio died, the unity is... ugh.
He suddenly moaned, and ashes fell from Ei\'s body in a flurry. He threw up.
\'\'You\'re drunk........\'\'
Well, not much of a problem... What I\'m more concerned about is....
That said, the amount of ashes falling in a flurry remains the same. It\'s a good thing the deck is not dirty, though. Kyousuke tried to rub his back, but he didn\'t know where in the world to rub it, and he was at a loss.
That\'s when it happened.
It\'s a good idea to be able to have a good time. Yoo-hoo!
It was Rin\'s voice. When Kyousuke turned around, she wasn\'t the only one there, the other students were about to come out as well.
\'\'Hm, that? Are you going to a meeting or something?
Oh, I didn\'t hear. You know, Benii-san has something important to tell you all.
From Beni....
Kyousuke murmured and glanced at Ei. He nodded to us, still spreading ashes.
He said that Beni was important to him. It must be deeply involved in the future course of action of the second year and four groups. You can feel the change in the fact that they are talking about it to the entire class and not just to a limited group like Kyosuke, Ryuzaki and Sakuma. Benai must have begun to believe in the unity of the class.
I\'m genuinely anxious to find out what that "important story" will be about.
The students line up on the deck. Zekou was there, and Hakuba was dragging a Buddhist altar on a cart. Since it\'s the whole class, he thinks that Washio should be included as well. He\'s a man of friendship. I\'m curious to see Harao\'s coffin right next to that altar, though.
Okumura, Gokudawara, Kurumori, and others are talking coherently. Zekou was also mixed in with this group, not Goubayashi. Looking at it this way, there are groups with and without changes compared to before the transfer, such as the squad leaders group of Kenzaki and Uozumi brother, and the athletic club group of Saruwatari and Yukinoshita.
Kyousuke\'s group, with a change called Himemizu Rin, also lined up on the deck, as did the rest of the students.
A little further away, Sakuma and Kaoruko, mixed with Harui and Snakezuka, a group of so-called Benii\'s friends, also continued to have a friendly chat. Apparently no lumps were left in the relationship. I patted my chest in relief.
\'\'Ah, guys! Good job on this one!
Ryuzaki, who stood in front of me, shouted in a well-passed voice. Come to think of it, Sakuma, who was supposed to be the scribe, is not there now.
\'\'We\'ve sailed safely out of Albadamba. It will take us about two weeks to reach Vernetus. I heard there are hot springs in that country, so let\'s have a good rest when we arrive there.
The greeting was totally in place, yet unpretentious. The word "onsen" elicits an \'oh\' from the crowd.
I\'m going to have to tell you something important from Asuka. Will everyone listen to me?
Prompted by Ryuzaki, Benii slowly stepped forward.
His blood supply seemed to have already been replenished, and his footsteps were firm. The students stared at it in silence. When she stood in front of them, she didn\'t cough or preface her speech, but suddenly said this.
\'First of all, let me ask you all something.
Saying that, Benii took out a glass bottle.
There were traces of red liquid inside. Is that the bottle that contained blood, Kyousuke thought idly.
I\'m sure everyone thought something about it when they imagined I drank human blood.
The students buzzed with a bit of confusion. They seemed to be unable to understand the purpose of Benii\'s words.
\'\'.........I think it probably varies from person to person, but normally people would think that kind of thing would be weird. Everyone else is accepting it without a care in the world.
When Kyousuke heard those words, the first thing he thought about was the opponents he had fought.
All of the pawns that Kyousuke has fought and defeated, all of them were treated as "human" beings in the original world. It\'s a good thing that you\'re not just a good friend, but also a good friend.
Kyousuke thought he had analyzed it as such, though, because he was empty.
Beni continued.
"The \'transference denaturation gate\' that everyone else has gone under has several effects. One is that it can transform the human body, just like everyone else.
Then he began to fold his fingers.
\'One, Phase 2---an effect that grants special abilities,\'
At this point, Benii breaks off a sentence and looks around at the group.
\'And the other is the effect of adding a "filter". It\'s the third one I\'m going to talk about now. "About the \'filter\'..."
Just as she said this, something strange occurred on the deck.
The sky, which had been clear until then, suddenly began to be filled with dark clouds. The sun was blocked out and a dark shadow fell. This too, Beni was the first to react and look up. It was too sudden for a mere weather change. His classmates also started to make a commotion and looked up, as did Benii.
\'\'What...?\'\'
As the wind began to blow strongly and westerly, I heard Ryuzaki muttering to himself.
\'\'I have a bad feeling about this...\'\'
Kyousuke\'s chest buzzed with intensity.
Beni interrupted her lecture. When Kyousuke turned his gaze towards her, he could see that she was still looking up at the sky, eyes narrowed and biting her lip. That alone is enough for Kyousuke to roughly understand what kind of presence this sudden bad weather has brought about.
Out of the sky, I could see something the size of a pea grain flying towards us at high speed. It flew at a speed just short of sea level, and the wind that clothed its entire body split the surface of the sea like a shock wave.
\'\'Everyone, back up!\'\'
It might have been the first time he had heard Beni\'s screaming cry.
Immediately after, a roar and impact shook the hull of the heavy duty branch ship. The ship was vulnerable to a side impact. The ship tilted to the point of capsizing in a panic, but when Harao kicked off the coffin lid and jumped out, his telekinetic power kept him just barely in place as he raised his ankh.
There was no need to ask what had happened, but they all still looked at Beni.
\'\'Asuka, this is it!\'\'
Ryuzaki, who was sticking his claws into the deck, had already completed his dragonization. Many other students were getting ready for battle.
Rin also jumped over to Kyousuke\'s body and completed the coalescence. However, the blood power is after it has been used up. We can\'t extremify it yet.
\'\'I don\'t know his name. But it\'s Luke.\'\'
\'Luke! A big piece!
Are these dark clouds and the wind that gradually begins to blow stronger and stronger a part of the power of the blood race? Does this mean that Luke, the great pawn, has so much power?
From across the ship\'s edge, the figure of a man in a military uniform slowly lifts up. Large lacerations run across his face, and his eyes are literally dyed a bloody red color. Kyousuke felt Rin\'s body, which was attached to his own, begin to tremble in small increments.
The man was still doing very little. He just floated in the air.
Even so, the spirit of rising up was such that it was almost like we were going to swoon. A sense of intimidation to the point of violence, as if our hearts would falter just by being relative. The majority of the students standing on the deck were also stiff, as if they had been blocked from moving.
\'\'Ridiculous...!
It was probably the voice of Gowbayashi that I heard in the wind. He was down on one knee, trying desperately to move his body. However, his whole body looked as if it wasn\'t listening to what he was saying.
Neither did Harao. He had his arms behind his back and his usual demeanor with his chest stretched out. But when he tried to move out of it, his limbs didn\'t move as if they were rigid.
Ryuzaki dug the claws of both hands into the deck and struggled to hold on. But still, he can\'t move his body.
Kyousuke tried to take at least one step forward. His whole body is heavy as lead. It felt as if it was coated with cement.
\'\'Rin, please...!
I\'m sorry...
Kyousuke snorted, and the apology came back in Rin\'s voice, which seemed to disappear.
\'I don\'t know, but I can\'t move my body........ I don\'t know but...!\'\'
As he moved his gaze, Ei also floated there, unable to move.
The assailant that had suddenly appeared was simply there, overwhelming the 40 or so monsters that were there.
Then, unexpectedly, an intense pressure was created behind Kyousuke and the others. It was almost as strong as or even surpassed by the spirit emanating from the man in military uniform in front of them--- Luke. While their bodies and minds were about to be worn out, Kyousuke and the others were able to see the owner of that spirit with certainty.
\'\'Beni........\'\'
Her hair and the hem of her uniform swayed as if it were lifting up in a wavering motion. Kyousuke was reminded once again that the few times he had seen Benii\'s abilities were only a glimpse of what he had seen before.
There was certainly an insurmountable difference between the pawn, the Knight, and the Bishop, but from there, there was a huge difference that was hard to overturn, even for Luke and the Queen. While the other classmates were unable to move at all, only Benii Asuka walked the deck with ease.
\'\'What are you doing here?\'\'
With his arms crossed, Beni looked up at Luke, his voice chilling at the bottom.
Then Luke spoke for the first time.
"I\'m here to carry out the \'king\'s\' orders."
Orders? His?
Beni\'s words were filled with a strong sense of anger and disgust.
\'I will destroy this ship.\'
What...?
Ryuzaki was the first to react to Luke\'s words. A number of other students bared their defiance to the unreasonable oath. Luke sniffed softly and descended to the deck. The students, unable to move an inch, were unleashing strong hostility against Luke.
It was a flash in the pan. But when it comes to battle, only Beni has a chance of winning.
I didn\'t expect "Luke" to have such power.
I\'m sure you\'ll be able to find out more about this.
Beni stared at Luke with his arms crossed. At that moment, there was another violent sound, and the floor of the deck was partially and suddenly blown off. Both Beni and Luke look as if they haven\'t been able to do anything about it. But this was an exchange of power they unleashed, and Kyousuke immediately understood that this was the result of that exchange.
It has been implicitly proven that the heavy duty branch school cannot withstand the clash of power between the two of them.
\'\'There\'s only so much you can do, Queen,\'\'
Luke said.
\'You know what happens when you get two major pieces here. You know what happens.
.........
With his arms crossed, Beni meditates.
Luke\'s words have implications. Are you saying that the aftermath of the collision can\'t just be the destruction of the heavy duty branch school? Kyousuke pondered, trying to at least find out what the other party was really up to. But there was too little information to assess the situation.
What I can somehow guess is that Luke is not in any way keeping Beni in check. Even if the ship is destroyed as intended here, or even if Benii shows reverence for his classmates, or even if that "something" happens as a result of the collision with all his might, this man--. -And by extension, their bloodline would benefit in some way.
Benii must have felt the same way. He closed his eyes quietly, considered what was going on, then opened them and said, "I\'m sorry, guys.
"I\'m sorry, guys.
Eh....
Without grasping the intent of his apology, Beni kicked up the deck. He clenched his fists and charged vigorously towards Luke.
\'\'........!
Luke raised his right arm to take it in. Surrounding his arm, gauntlets of a similar shade to the black armor worn by the pawns appeared. However, even with the man\'s strength and his cage, he was unable to completely kill the single punch that Benii had thrown.
As it turned out, her blow, which was in perfect condition and not suffering from thirst, struck Luke\'s entire body.
The moment the man was frightened, Kyousuke and the others were freed from the intimidation. They start to move to join Benii, but she chides them.
\'Everyone get away! And preferably in one place as much as possible!
Then she kicked up the deck and floated in the air.
Naturally, they all struggled to gauge the meaning of her words. But they followed her words and soon they were running on deck. Many of the students, along with those closest to them. Or as if they were protecting the slow ones. But Sakuma, Harui and the others were too worried about Benii\'s safety to leave her.
Both of Benii\'s arms produced a bright red energy. It glowed the color of blood and eerily illuminated the deck, which was shrouded in dark clouds.
Luke\'s arms also produced a black energy body. The sound of the force popping was pounding through space.
Benii\'s movements seemed strange to Kyousuke for a moment.
Luke seemed to be growing that black energy without limit, but Benii seemed to be regulating his power. The bright red energy body was carefully growing huge to match its power with the black energy body.
But before they could consider the implications of this, both moved to attack. To match the black energy released by Luke, Beni also released his accumulated power. The red and black clashed after a shootout that looked like an anime or cartoon.
A burst of light. The red, black and light body collided, and the light that was mixed with the red, black and light body collided and spread all at once to the surroundings around the point of collision.
It was a momentary event.
But Kyousuke saw it firmly.
The light drowned out anything it touched, expanding its range.
And it attacked the students who were standing on the deck without mercy. Sakuma, who had been unable to get away from Beni, and Harui, Kaoruko and Snakezuka, were all swallowed up by the light. Even the time to scream and reach out was not given to Kyousuke.
In the next moment, the entire Heavy Duty Branch School was swallowed up by the rush of light.
Along with the sensation of his body emerging, Kyousuke\'s consciousness was abruptly cut off.
\'\'........Kun! Kyousuke-kun!
At the sound of the voice calling out to him himself, Kyousuke Soraki hollowed out his eyes.
And right after that, he remembered that he had no eyelids. It was simply that the faintness had returned. He holds his head and raises his upper body. In front of me, a plump, light-blue, translucent object was calling out Kyousuke\'s name as it moved up and down my body.
It looked somewhat cool, so I reach out and pick it up.
\'\'Fugyah!\'\'
There was a scream.
What? What are you doing all of a sudden?
\'\'No, sort of......... Sorry, Rin.........
Once again, Kyousuke checked his surroundings.
Apparently, this is a sandy beach. The sound of crashing waves can be heard very clearly. The trees that are growing are a little different from the tropical ones seen in Albadamba. And if anything, it\'s more of a rock.
Had the ship been destroyed and washed up somewhere else?
But if that was the case, Rin would have died of osmotic pressure, and she would have been in a place that would have taken nearly two weeks to get to the continent in the first place.
\'\'That guy........Luke.......?\'\'
I don\'t know. I just woke up and thought I was in here too.
Beni?
I can\'t find...
Kyousuke finally stood up there.
What would happen in the clash of power between the two of them? And what happened now? Vaguely, I get a hint.
A spatial transition, a kind of warp. I wonder if the reason he told me to move away from him at that time was because I would be sent to the same place as the person who was close to him. The students who were near me at that time, besides Rin........
\'\'Besides me, no one else has been found?\'\'
\'\'Yeah.... When Kyousuke-kun wakes up, I thought I\'d go with you to find him.
Well....
I have a lot of things to worry about. There is also one person in particular that I want to strongly confirm his or her safety.
But even if you think about it here and scream about it, nothing will happen.
Where in the world am I?
Who is the student who was sent away with him?
I must find out from there first.
Kyousuke decided to combine with Rin and start searching the vicinity.
