Remote mountains.

The sun had set in the west, and in the barren wilderness sat a tent of considerable size.

There was a bonfire burning outside.

This area is originally a camping area, but it looks desolate, but in fact it is managed by a special person and has various regulations, and it is generally safe.

Maybe it's because the season is wrong, there is only one group of campers, and it's three girls who don't seem to have much experience in wild camping.

Curry, one of the treasures of camping, is boiling on the fire, and several military lunch boxes are also cooking.

If I hadn't had a lot on my mind, I might have enjoyed camping happily now.

"What's wrong? Huangtong ...... No, it won't be clear who you're addressing, can you call your sister classmate? “

The squad leader had just returned from town to inquire about information.

Of all the people present, she was the only one who was the most suitable for this job, Huang Scarlet Sword had almost no similar experience, and the form of Mephistopheles schoolboy was too suspicious to wander around at night.

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with that, can I call you the squad leader's sister? Yikes! Fire! ”

Huang Scarlet Sword's dull eyes regained his vitality, and he hurriedly checked the cooked rice, but fortunately nothing went wrong.

"Sister...... This...... Personally, I don't have anything against it, but then my relationship with your brother will seem closer, okay? I'm supposed to be a threat to you, but the one in it is probably a threat, but ......"

The squad leader sat on the edge of the campfire, his glasses as cold and reflective as ever.

Mephistopheles is indeed a person who is very difficult to evaluate by normal standards.

"Tell me...... What are you talking about! Please don't say strange things! ”

Huang Scarlet Sword was already nervous because he almost burned out his meal, and after hearing the squad leader's words that seemed to be mocking, he was even more at a loss, so he simply pretended to be stupid.

"You're not related by blood, are you?"

The squad leader added some fuel to the fire, because it was all dry firewood provided on the spot, and soon the flames became much more intense.

On the other side of the firelight, the stunned face of the Emperor Scarlet Sword was reflected.

"Sister Squad Leader...... Already aware of this? ”

"I'm finally a member of the personal literary view, and I can know what I want to know a little bit of investigation, but he doesn't seem to know very well, I don't want to ask about things between you, you can rest assured. However, if you have any thoughts about him, it's best not to hide it in your heart, and you may regret it if you don't say it sooner. ”

The squad leader began to confirm one by one whether the burning rice was normal, but her topic was very lethal, and she could almost kill the Emperor Scarlet Sword on the spot.

Intentionally, of course.

If Huang Taiyi is asked to evaluate which of these girls is the most like a villain, the answer is the only one without thinking, and it can only be the squad leader.

However, this does not conflict with the motherhood and gentleness that can only be shown for a specific person, although sometimes I wonder if it is due to acting.

"You...... What are you talking about? That...... That's not a no-no! ”

Huang Scarlet Sword's reaction was as wonderful as the squad leader expected, and it was difficult for a person to show such an interesting expression under normal circumstances.

But the conversation between the two always felt that something was not quite right.

Specifically, the relationship feels more concentrated than it actually is, and it is clear that it is not so close but there is an illusion that it has gone beyond the line of friendship.

Since it's an illusion, there must be nothing wrong with it, it's all reasonable.

"Whew...... It's so innocent and cute. ”

The squad leader didn't comment much, and glanced at Mephistopheles, who was sleeping strangely in the tent, who was he talking about? Even she herself didn't know very well.

It may even be that he knows that it is unreasonable, but he still follows them to fool around.

"We don't really have ...... It's definitely not the kind that the squad leader's sister thinks! ”

"Didn't you really find out? Everyone here is trying to monopolize the emperor's classmates, that is, your brother, if you want to participate in it as well, it's better to declare it early, it's a bit naïve to do nothing. ”

The squad leader stared at the tip of the flame, there was also such a fire burning in her heart, and so far too much had been burned.

Why would you say such a thing to the girl in front of you? If it was my former self, I wouldn't.

Probably...... Who is the reason for being unconsciously influenced by whom? And it's not the first time, before that, there are even more distant memories......

"I ...... I don't have the qualifications to do so......"

Huang Scarlet Sword wanted to look directly into the eyes of the squad leader and argue with her, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to do so.

Not "like" or "dislike", but seemingly completely unrelated "qualifications", which in itself is intriguing, but she does not and is not prepared to go into more detail.

"I'm happy to be a competitor, but it's not 'not 'not qualified' or 'it doesn't matter' in my mind, in the end it will only make you miserable, I have said everything that needs to be said, and you will decide the rest...... Let's eat, it's already okay, wake up Mr. Mephistopheles. “

The squad leader began to prepare the necessary utensils.

She could hear that the Emperor Scarlet Sword was hiding something she didn't know.

But it's true that there is no further questioning.

"Sister Squad Leader...... Why do you like big brother, the teacher doesn't know what he's thinking at all, why is there a sudden ...... between you and him?"

"I don't like him, at least not in the general sense."

The squad leader's answer was a bit like a lie, but she really wasn't out of the confusion herself.

"What's that?"

Huang Scarlet Sword couldn't understand the meaning of this answer.

"Phantoms from past memories...... Probably. “

"I don't understand it at all!"

"No, nothing, you're awake?"

The squad leader ended the conversation, and on the other side, Mephistopheles came out of the tent yawning.

"Whew...... I slept so well and had a ...... meal."

Suddenly, the eyes of the squad leader and Mephistopheles met in an extremely tacit understanding, and the meal or something was immediately left behind.

"Huh? Oops? ”

Not knowing what was going on, Huang Scarlet Sword looked at the two people with a confused expression.

"Is it a delusion? Although classifying something as an illusion in the first place is tantamount to failure. ”

"No, that feeling is definitely not an illusion, class leader, that is definitely a message to us."

"I feel the same way, but what kind of message is that? Completely incomprehensible. ”

"Class leader, at least our efforts should not be in vain, it would be better to continue to wait."

The conversation between Mephistopheles and the squad leader no longer allowed the third person to intervene, and Huang Scarlet Sword looked at the two people stupidly, feeling that his IQ had dropped a little more.

This time period is the moment when Si Ming exerts his strength.

What the two of them perceived was not a power from another world, but something even stranger.

It's like a vague hint.

……

in a closed world.

I had a dream, or maybe it wasn't a dream, but I was thinking wildly when I wasn't conscious, there was no logic and no reason, and the brain was still working when it wasn't controlled, and if I mastered this ability, I would probably be able to work while sleeping, which was really powerful.

"The ......"

Huang Taiyi found that he was still able to speak in his dreams.

Wait, can you talk when you're dreaming? It should be possible.

No, that's not the thing to figure out now.

Who are you talking to?

Not only can't you see but you can't hear it, and your mind should be empty when your consciousness is completely empty.

"Huh, Ah Tai is really in this state now, and there is really no resistance at all, but how to contact him! Once his consciousness is restored, it will be disconnected again, damn it! And you can't write on your arm! ”

Now all kinds of hallucinations are really high, and you can even hear people's voices.

Yes......

Isn't it quite right, the content of the hallucinations is also a little too specific.

"Ahhh I can't get in touch with it! Abominable abominable abominable! How can I tell them about the properties of that thing! Can you only put all your hope on the three people outside! No, time is running out! It will be ...... in a few days at most."

The voice he heard was still very real, but Huang Taiyi couldn't hear the content of these words clearly, at most he could only vaguely perceive an extremely anxious atmosphere, and he also understood that all this had something to do with him.

Why don't you know what to say?

It's very clear that it's the sound of speech, and even the language seems to be understood, and there is a closeness that almost makes people cry, but I can't even understand a word.

I'm in a hurry.

I want to wake up like that.

"Wow, aaaaaa Ah Tai is going to regain consciousness, and he has to think of a way, can he only ...... No matter! Although doing so would make her ...... It may also be hated by Ah Tai, but ...... There's no way! Even if it's different, it's still me, I can't sacrifice other people, and the best choice is myself...... Dry! I spelled! ”

"Woo......"

When Huang Taiyi felt that his brain had returned to normal a little, it seemed that there was still a little strange trace left in the deepest part of his memory.

It seems that there is a cry of pain that can only be made by clenching your teeth, and you can't know what kind of sorrow you are enduring it, but you just don't know what the cry is about.

I can only barely understand what choice seems to have made up my mind, and this seems to have some kind of price that most people don't want to pay, it's simply magical, I understand it to this extent, but I still can't recall any of the content, and I can't even judge whether it's true or false.

Do you want to learn this point?

There are still too many things that I can't understand.

"Ancestors!"

Not far from his head, Si Ming's cry of surprise and joy sounded.

Huang Taiyi found himself lying on her lap at this time.

"Hmm...... What's the situation now? ”

Knee pillows are certainly good, but definitely not the time to think about this.

"We ...... It's a new day. ”

Si Ming clenched Huang Taiyi's hand.

He clenched it like this while he was unconscious, and kept praying that he would come to his senses.
