21. The crisis of the end.
A night illuminated by the moonlight.
“…… Whoa.”
Sawamura Sento came out of the yard to catch his breath.
She closed her eyes and exhaled in succession.
To be honest, it’s a bit difficult.
The study of ‘witchcraft’ is completely different from the school subjects she has studied so far.
Her teacher, Shi Hei Lin, praised her as a genius, but she couldn’t help but feel that her brain was tired from figuring out and getting used to new things.
‘How the hell did he do that?’
The guys in the building next door over there said they trained for three days and nights last weekend.
She didn’t have the confidence to train that much.
Studying witchcraft was quite interesting and suited her aptitude, but she wasn’t confident enough to go crazy with it.
“…… As always, just do it in moderation.”
Like wearing a mask at school, like studying moderately to look like a model student.
This time, it’s all about learning ‘jutsu’ to adapt to the new world.
While Sento was repeating that to herself, her sense of incongruity suddenly surged, but she only tilted her head, not realizing what the source was.
─Shut up… !
─It’s so disingenuous… !
“Hmm?”
Someone who disturbed his thoughts suddenly appeared. There was a commotion coming from the front door of the mansion.
Sento tilted her head.
It would be right for her not to go because she doesn’t like messy situations.
But it felt like I could hear Shiki Ichimaru’s voice through the high pitched voice.
Thinking that with the man, at least she wouldn’t be in much danger, Sento crossed the grounds of her mansion and headed for her door.
‘This mansion is also safe.’
It was awkward at first, but after running into Shihei’s family members for a few days, an inner affinity developed.
Always kind and friendly.
I wondered if it was simply a public attitude toward customers, but it wasn’t.
They sincerely took care of the benefactor’s close friend and the master’s disciple.
Sawamura Sento.
Her
Her name was different, and she seemed to think of her as her family, or at least a comrade, with a little exaggeration.
‘…… No one told me what the hell that benefactor was, or what repaying kindness was.’
Everyone laughed and shut their mouths, saying that Gazoo and Shiki would get angry if I said anything.
I wondered if I was bullying her, but everyone treated her warmly except for her secret.
It was a very awkward situation for Sento’s values, but I realized it implicitly.
It’s safe here, it’s quite friendly.
At least it will be better than the old house where I lost my parents and lived in.
Relatives won’t suddenly come to ask for money.
Not to mention, there were no brazen people who came to claim her heritage and raise themselves.
I didn’t dare to think of it as a ‘family’, but it was a safe hideaway nonetheless.
In Sento’s heart, this Shihega and her home’s mansion were embedded with that perception.
It happened at some point.
To her, who lived wearing her mask for many years, that in itself was like her own amazing magic or sorcery.
Perhaps her will has hardened, Sento Sawamura took a firm step towards the grounds of her mansion.
In this mansion. She even said that she herself wouldn’t be surprised in a place where Ichimaru Shiki exists.
“This is plain kidnapping!”
“Uh-huh, sometime he told me to explain it to me in a convincing way!”
“I told you to explain?! Who wants to kidnap?!”
“Hmm, Ms. Eris, if you say that, it just makes me feel unfair and sad! Can you see my hands shaking from embarrassment?”
“Shut up! If you continue to deceive me, send it back right away!”
“Eh, you’ve come to my house to play, but we have to sit around and drink tea and eat snacks so that it doesn’t feel warm…” “
“I have never been friendly from the beginning!”
“… ….”
Sawamura Sento said that when she saw something bizarre one day, she put on a puzzled expression.
Ichimaru Shiki and Eris Betelgeuse fighting each other.
To put it another way, it’s a sinister man who seems to have entered this place by force and a child caught in his hand…….
Should I, as a member of the gang, help with this conspiracy?
Or should I at least show my morality and report it to the police?
“Hmm.”
After Sento Sawamura tinkered with his cell phone for a while, he decided to become an accomplice.
She took a step forward and stepped out into the bright moonlit gate.
As if Ichimarushiki had just noticed her, she then turned her head and smiled.
She said while holding Eris out of the water.
“Oh, I’m back.”
“Is this a gift?”
“Yes, Mr. Sento, I was afraid that if I studied alone, I would be in trouble, so I asked for a friend to train with…… “
“Whoever wants! I am definitely a member of the Betelgeuse family, and I have a separate teacher!”
“So, where should I bury it?”
“…… Huh?”
“…… Yes?”
Ichimaru Shiki and Eris turned their heads and blinked their eyes.
The two of them, who continued to be noisy, fell into silence with a blank look on their faces for a moment.
Sento asked with a calm expression.
“What, didn’t you bury it in the ground?”
“No, no.”
“… ….”
Realizing that Eris, the star wizard, is facing another madwoman—a threat to her life—she just shuts her mouth.
***
Since then things have been peaceful.
The long quarrel in the yard disappeared like a haze in an instant, and everyone moved indoors.
Since it happened like this, all the main characters of the planned episode 100 Night Trip were gathered in the parlor.
Kenichi Kitagawa, who went back to his home and enjoyed a break after a long absence, was also summoned.
Perhaps depressed because his vacation was canceled, he crouched down and muttered sullenly.
“…… You said you were being honest, you said you weren’t lying, but why…….”
“Ah, training won’t go as promised. I will send it to you right after the briefing session, so calm down.”
“Really?!”
Somehow, the main character’s emotional ups and downs are severe.
It’s good to be stronger than before, but thinking that I need mental management so I don’t go crazy, I looked at all the people in the room.
─Jigsy.
“What, do you have something to say?”
“Nothing.”
Sento Sawamura has been staring at me ever since I returned to the mansion.
That’s why we keep seeing each other.
There was a title called ‘ancient weapon’ as a setting during the game, but since it seems to be reading my thoughts, I didn’t intend to think of it at all.
Now she is now Sento Sawamura, a magic genius.
“…… I can go home! You may not be training! We can go home within today!”
Crazed Kenichi…… Omitted description.
The ‘Fire Maiden’ Hotaru Ichinose hadn’t been brought in to a relationship where her abilities weren’t yet ripe, so there was only one person left.
“Look what!”
From noble mtl dot com
Star Wizard, Eris Betelgeuse.
We arrived here through mutual agreement, but we were still grumbling.
I thought of stopping time right away and having a private interview with the two of us, but like a good gentleman, I had no interest in bullying the little boy.
“Because I’m only 150…… “
“What, what?! It’s 153!”
“Ah, you are ashamed. Everyone knows that it is 150 without an error.”
“My height is 153!!!”
The angry Eris Betelgeuse.
However, due to the character setting, what would you do with a stuffed ‘150’?
I mentioned the height like this, but I didn’t intend to mention the weight for the lady’s privacy.
“Let’s go! I know not all of them are busy, so I will explain very briefly.”
I clapped my hands and drew attention from all the spectators in the room.
When I met eyes with each of them, each with their own emotions, and realized that everyone was focused, I decided to throw a bomb right away.
As usual, I spoke with the greatest sincerity of my life with a smiling face.
“Humanity is facing an apocalypse crisis.”
“Bugs.”
Eris started talking right away, but the benevolent me ignored it and continued my explanation.
“hahahaha, you are free to believe or disbelieve, but it is an undeniable fact that it is an end-time crisis. Why is it okay for Miss Eris to use authenticity verification magic?”
The star wizard Eris Betelgeuse declared with a frown on his face.
“It doesn’t work on crazy people.”
“Aha.”
It was a very unfortunate story.
It’s not easy.
I nodded my head with a very melancholy heart and tried the second way to persuade them.
“I can’t help it! Then we have no choice but to use a method to confirm it even if it is overdoing it.”
“…… Uh? Yaya!”
I stood up with my blonde hair on my side and gestured to the other two.
Sento and Kenichi, like good students, followed me without objection.
After leaving the room, I came out to the yard, and when I looked up, I saw the night sky with the moon.
“A few days ago, the decades-long seal was lifted, and it should be called heavenly, but the balance of the world was greatly disturbed.”
“I’ve never heard of that!”
“Well, it could be. Because this is a secret story that only a very few people in this world know about.”
There was also a story I never wanted to know until I died, but I can’t help it.
Because the end was closer than I thought.
I reached out into the air.
“——Open.”
I pulled out my sword and cut straight into the air. Put all your energy into it. To reach the night sky.
“…… Shiki, your hair is-“
“Shh, look up.”
When they look up with their eyes wide open,
Kikiiik……
The lofty sky parted, and a scene hidden from view began to be revealed.
“…… Uh?”
Beside the dazzlingly bright moon, there was a larger red moon there.
As always.
Of course.
