My name is Riku and I'm an ordinary human. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for the surname, now that my hometown was destroyed and all my family members died, there is no need to talk about it.

And the people who destroyed my homeland were created by the gods, monsters.

Their battle caused the sky to lose its original color and caused blood to flow from the earth. They are obviously an intelligent race and have their own civilization, but they are complete monsters in nature.

From that day on, I will never be able to forget this realization.

-- Maybe it's because I'll never forget that day.

――――――――――――――――――――

When Riku came to his senses, what appeared in his eyes was a strange ceiling.

No, it's a bit too much to say it's a ceiling. It was just a simple roof made of a few pieces of wood. Just by looking at the roof, Riku was able to make up a picture of a makeshift wooden house.

He tried to lift his hand, but couldn't even move his fingertips. I wanted to turn my head, but I was stopped by some kind of restraint. The intense pain that came from all over his body constantly irritated his nerves. Subconsciously frowning, Riku opened his mouth slightly, and muttered to himself in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"This is - yes, monster fighting. I was affected and passed out. So who rescued me now......"

Recalling the last touch of blue he had seen, Riku's brow furrowed for only a moment before re-loosening. Since they can save themselves, it is estimated that they are other humans. If you have any questions, just wait for that person to show up and ask them.

No sooner had he made such a decision than Riku heard the creak of the door opening.

――The roof of this wooden house is so simple, and there is a door? He couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.

Of course, there was no way he could really say that. After all, it was the other party who saved him, so he can't be so rude.

He tried to see what the people who had entered the room looked like, but he couldn't turn his head. It was then that he remembered that he was seriously injured.

The visitors seemed to feel the commotion of Riku. She spoke, her voice cold and very clear and pleasant:

"Don't move."

Riku subconsciously wanted to turn his head again, but to no avail. So the boy could only speak while looking at the ceiling: "Hello, you saved me-"

I couldn't say it.

Because a face that was not as delicate as a mortal suddenly occupied his entire sight.

- Riku could swear that it was the most delicate face he had ever seen since birth.

Whether it's the emotionless inky pupils, or the crystal clear white skin, or - everywhere, it is the accurate embodiment of the word "perfect".

She is like a goddess of mortality.

Even though there is no expression on that face, it still exudes a beauty that is impossible to ignore. The long black hair, like a waterfall, slid down his shoulders as the girl lowered her head, and a few strands of silky hair hung down on Riku's face, making him feel a little itchy.

It was only then that he realized that he was actually looking at the other party's face in a daze!

His cheeks instantly became hot, and even if he couldn't see it, the boy knew that he must be blushing. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to hide something, but the words he said stammered, quite a bit to cover up: "Ah, that-that-I-I didn't mean to-no, yes, you saved me--thanks-"

Riku couldn't finish his sentence, because the girl in front of him frowned slightly, as if she thought he was too noisy. Seeing this expression, the young man subconsciously swallowed the last word of thanks.

But then, he felt as if the atmosphere had become more awkward because of it.

- He was the only one who felt embarrassed. The shrine maiden's expression only changed slightly when she frowned. The rest of the time, it's a poker face with no expression at all.

She still looked at the young man, and said in a robotic tone, "Rest well, don't move." ”

Then, the girl's face withdrew, and the humble ceiling reappeared in the boy's sight. In contrast, there is the same crunch sound as before. Then Riku was the only one left in the house.

I felt a sense of loss for no reason.

Close your eyes slightly. After a moment, the boy muttered, "...... At least give me a chance to ask questions -- and ...... food."

Yes, he was hungry.

But apparently, the shrine maiden didn't realize this at all!

"Am I going to starve to death here?!" The young man's weak scream came out, but it could not reach the ears of the shrine maiden.

Because the moment she went out, she melted into the void and left this place.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Meow Ha~ Sure enough, it's still the cutest little little Ji, meow-"

Azriel, the eldest sister of the Winged Species, pounced on Gypril while laughing.

- Of course, this is also a development that Kibril expected.

After all, she was mentally prepared for this when she used [Heavenly Strike].

[Heavenly Strike], a move that condenses all the huge power possessed by the Celestial Wing Species into a single blow. Since the Wings themselves are "beings" rather than "creatures", their bodies are beings who combine mass and energy with soul. In other words, when they release all their energy, the body of the mass and the soul of the energy will return to the state of a child.

That's what Gypril is doing now.

Holding Jibril and constantly "ravaging", Azriel asked with a look of enjoyment: "What did Xiao Ji encounter with meow~Why did you use [Sky Strike] Meow~"

"Encounter—" Subconsciously spoke, but Gypril stopped his words in the next moment.

For some reason, she didn't want to talk about "fighting a suspicious monkey creature and finally escaping back after using [Sky Strike]. As for the reason for that-

-- Gypril insists that the emergence of a "powerful human race" is interesting, and that it may add a bit of uncertainty to the Great War and change the current boring situation.

“…… It's nothing. She finally said.

"Meow?" Azriel tilted her head slightly, apparently seeing that Gibril didn't want to say, but she didn't pursue any further questions.

- Although Gypril is a little tired of her attitude, it has to be said that Azriel is a qualified "sister".

And in Azriel's mind, because Gibriel was given "imperfection" by the Lord, there were times when Azriel couldn't understand it - but because of this incompleteness, she felt that Gibril was more cute.

Perhaps, it was a gift from the Lord.

She confirmed.

――――――――――――――――――――

The shrine maiden left with no intention of abandoning Riku. Actually, she's there to find other humans.

-- Since you want to find information, it is much better to ask your own kind than to torture other people.

And within her perception, there was a group of humans not far away.

PS: I've finally finished thinking about the plot of this volume!
