On June 17th, the sun was warm, the wind was sweltering, and the temperature outside was irritating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three of us didn't go to class, but agreed to meet at the Guyuan Cat Bookstore.

After Liaotai's accident, many students had already asked for leave and did not come to school, and the teacher also decided to suspend the first year of high school D for three days, considering the problem of "calming emotions".

After meeting, Chiba Nori's back was really carrying the big bag, and he didn't know what was inside.

The "Yuanshan Shrine" in Chiba's mouth, that place is in... I felt the glass in my pocket, the smooth edges...

"――You mean, the Akiyama Shrine is in that piece of glass?"

Momoi asked with some confusion.

"Well, it can't be called 'Yuanshan Shrine', but the shrine of Yuanshan, that shrine has no name, it is a part of Yuanshan, or it is said that there was a Yuanshan before the existence of the shrine."

Chiba Noria raised his eyes and narrated, seeing that Momoi and I were a little confused, he continued.

"The shrine in Gakiyama doesn't have a specific location, it's just born because of the 'Window of the Lily of the Valley Golem', you can find it anywhere, you can find it through the glass, and because it is connected to 'that place', the world here does not appear in a 'physical form'."

"Solid form? Does that mean vanity? Can it be called an 'illusion'? ”

I asked, tilting my head.

"It can be understood in this way, but it is not necessarily true, the place itself is very complex and endlessly changing, so it is impossible to summarize its meaning in one word, and then it is up to Ruriki to lead the way."

"What exactly is this glass? Why can I see through the glass? ”

It's always been strange to me, and I've always felt that the space in the glass isn't "hell", it's like a gap between "hell" and the world, a weird place that isn't anywhere.

"That piece of glass..."

Chiba Noria endured it for a while, and it seemed that he had a taboo about this thing-

"That piece of glass... It was made by the eyes of evil spirits. ”

As soon as the words fell, the hand I put in my pocket was withdrawn, and my heart twitched violently, and I instantly felt that I had been holding a "foreign object" before, or that I had been sticking to "something" every day, and I couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

"It's the eyes of a demon, but it's not quite... It can only be counted in part. ”

"What's next?"

"We'll start here, in fact, wherever we go."

"Against the glass?"

"-Hmm."

Chiba nodded silently, and I immediately took out the glass from my pocket, but I hesitated and didn't want to raise it in front of my eyes, because the "half afterimage" inside really made it difficult for me to muster up the courage to look at it again.

"How?"

"It's okay..."

I settled down and slowly lifted the glass... When I glanced at it, I noticed that things had changed.

Inside, there is a foothill area, and a path stretches between the tall trees, and there seems to be a sign at the intersection.

I told the two of them what was going on inside, so Chiba told me to walk in the direction of "that path."

"Keep going like this?"

"Well, Rurihi, you don't have to be in an unexpected situation, just pay attention to where we go inside the glass."

As I walked with the hint of Norito Chiba, I began to feel that my visual perspective had changed.

... This time, look at the front again... We're already at the intersection of that path—

"Here..."

Momoi was surprised, and his face showed disbelief.

I was also shocked, I couldn't believe it... We walked to Yuanshan, where we could hear the murmuring of the stream in front of us, and we felt like we were far away from the city and the school.

"This is Yuanshan."

Chiba Norito looked around and said, Momoi and I are still confused by the scene in front of us, and I still can't believe this "Arabian Nights" change.

"Chiba, you haven't put a lot of effort into researching this, you know this method."

"My grandmother told me, but there's still a lot I haven't figured out, so I'm not sure what will happen when I go in..."

"And now..."

"If you follow this path, you should be able to reach the shrine."

"Well... This road looks a bit like that..."

I didn't care about what the two of them were saying for a while, because when I saw the sign, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but I was convinced that I had never been to this place, and it was strange to say.

It is said that it is a street sign, but in fact there is no half of the handwriting on it, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of "pointing", I guess as long as anyone standing here will have a strange idea - to walk along this road... There is a shrine inside.

"Do you want to go in?"

"Yes."

Chiba Norishi replied in the affirmative to the two of us, but the eyes of the three seemed to be hesitating, looking in from the intersection, the road was dim and hazy, the roots of the trees on the road bulged out like huge earthworms coiled together, and the trees on both sides were almost dark and lightless because of the dense shade, which made me wonder if I could come out again after walking in...

"Let's go, we can't stand here stupidly anymore."

Momoi walked in first as he spoke, followed by me and Chiba Nori.

It was a bit lifeless along the way, and talking might break the depressing atmosphere, so I asked.

"Chiba-san, if the 'Window of the Lily of the Valley Golem' was opened in 1961, would the shrine in Yuanshan also be produced at that time?"

“... Belch... Sort of,It's a question of not knowing 'the chicken or the egg' first.,In short,The shrine in Yuanshan is attached to the foundation of the lily of the valley puppet window.,But it's also said that the lily of the valley puppet window is open in an abandoned shrine.,So... Even my grandmother didn't figure this out, this was not a place that actually existed, it could be everywhere or it could not exist at all, and the only way to find it was through the 'demon's eye', which was the glass. Chiba sneered.

"Well, here... You can't find it on the map, can you understand that? ”

"Well, so to speak."

"Then again, did Hegu also exist in 1961? So how could he go to the first year of high school thirty-six years later? Isn't that abnormal? ”

"I don't think Hegu can be considered a 'human'—"

Momoi, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly interjected, and he turned his head to look at me and Chiba Nori.

"I agree with Momoi."

After Chiba Noria finished speaking, I felt as if there was a muffled wind around me, as if it was blowing up from under my feet, but the leaves were calm and did not move at all, and the specimen grew on the trunk of the tree, and then, the sound of the wind came again, but it was very unnatural, and it felt like there were no ups and downs, but the same strength and weakness... When I listened closely, I realized that it was not the sound of the wind, but more like the screaming of many people, mingled with the roaring wind.

... The sound became more and more intense.

――What's going on?

"Did you hear that?"

"- What?"

"Strange noises around..."

I stopped and said, feeling a little flustered.

"It seems to be..."

Momoi also became alert and began to carefully monitor the movements around him.

"It's close to 'that place'..."

Chiba said.

"What do you mean?"

"You're saying we're talking to... Hell? ”

Chiba didn't answer me, and suddenly, his eyes stared straight ahead, and from his eyes, I could feel that there seemed to be something more on the road ahead...
