The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the whole sky is in view, which can only be seen from the top of the top of the city's top floor. However, neither Chinohe nor Yuri were in the mood to enjoy the beauty............

Finally reached the top of the top floor, but what awaited the three of them was not as good as they imagined!

There are no well-preserved buildings............

There are also no lush and well-tended crops............

Of course, there are no friendly and enthusiastic surviving human beings who are tenacious enough to survive here............

There is nothing on the entire topmost part except a cube protrusion! The spacious, flat top has no color to see other than the snow white of the thick snow! The full whiteness of the eyes brought the three of them a cold heart-warming temperature!

A feeling called despair gradually grew in the hearts of the two girls............

Although Yuri and Chito have jokingly mentioned that the top part may not have anything, it is not necessarily, but after really getting this answer, they are even more unwilling! Hope begins to turn into despair at this moment, as if pure white is dyed black in an instant............

Faced with the somewhat brutal blow of reality, Chiho neither screamed nor cried, but just bit his lip and ran towards the only building............

It was a cube completely covered in snow, and the black crystals that emerged from the exfoliating ice cubes suggest that it was probably made of obsidian............ And Chiho was standing silently under the obsidian block............

“………… What is that? Yuri, who was a little worried about the condition of her companions, walked behind Chiho and asked.

“………… It seems like it's just obsidian......" Hearing Yuri's question, Chiho finally came to her senses and turned to answer her question.

"This thing turned out to be just a stone!" Yuri said disappointedly

Disappointed, she walked to the bottom of the stone and sat down with Chito on the side of the stone............

"Speaking of which............ Nuko is gone! Yuri looked around and said with some confusion.

"Probably to devour the energy in the channel I opened again!" Chiho replied listlessly.

"That's right............ Na! Why don't we start eating? ………… As a memento of the summit,............," Yuri proposed.

"Yes!" The boy smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Well! ………… I felt a little hungry when I climbed the stairs! Chiho also did not refuse Yuri's offer.

So, the three of them started to get busy!

Chinohe is in charge of boiling water to boil corn porridge, Yuri is guided by the boy to select the ingredients for dinner from his own space, and of course, the chef is using the ingredients he finds along the way to make delicious dishes that will make the two girls forget about the unhappiness in front of them!

With the full cooperation of the three of them, it only took more than 20 minutes.................. The feast that can make the hungry trio gobble up is complete!

The well-fed and well-fed Chito is finally not as desperate as he was at the beginning............ Maybe she got the idea! No matter what the world becomes, as long as there is tomorrow, as long as we can live, then there is hope!

The contented trio slept on the floor, with the boy lying in the center, and Yuri and Chido sleeping on either side of him............

"When I first climbed into this place............ I was very uneasy, because the world is so vast............ And I don't know anything............ I thought I would be able to get the answer at the end, but it turned out that even if I reached the end, I wouldn't necessarily be rewarded...... It's desperate! Qianhu Dao said with his head resting on the young man's arm.

"Chinohe didn't meet me on a journey...... Met Kanazawa...... Did you meet Ishii and Nuko, Lu Yue? Although the end is a void, the people and things encountered during the journey are also a kind of harvest! So it's not like you didn't get anything............" Fubo said softly reassuringly.

“………… Well, Fubo is right! In fact, in retrospect, when I was climbing that staircase, I felt as if I was one with the world as the three of us held hands together...... Then I realized that everything I could see and feel was actually everything in the world............ It's not easy to understand......" Chido continued.

“…… I get it! Yuri, who was pillowed the boy's other hand like Chino, said suddenly.

“………… I can't say it...... But I feel like I've always wanted to say that! Yuri said as she admired the night view.

“………… It's just a ......... But it's also very sensitive occasionally......... "Chinohe also looked up at the night sky and enjoyed the night view at the top.

The three of them lay side by side like this, quietly listening to each other's heartbeats, feeling the coolness of the night breeze, until the sky began to appear white............

"Ahh The sun is out! Yuri said as she looked at the gradually brightening sky.

“………… It's time for a new day! The boy sighed as well.

"Na! What do we do next? Qianhu began to face up to the problems faced by the three of them, and asked the two people around him.

"I don't care! As long as you can go with Chi-chan and Fukiha-chan, it's no problem no matter what! Yuri replied in a firm tone.

"Well! Let's tidy up the space first! How about waiting for the inventory to be done before thinking about anything else? The teenager suggested.

"Hmmm! So be it............" Chido sat up and opened his personal space.

Chinohe's personal space was basically filled with books, and the books she had selected from the huge library were neatly stacked inside......

In addition to the books that were also stuffed into Chiho, there were also some military foods, such as a whole box of unopened solid military rations, half a box of canned fish, and dried fish found in a fish processing factory. Other than that, all that was left was the corn cob that the boy later handed over to her for safekeeping!

"That's a lot of food!" Yuri said with some ease.

"Yes! At least we're not without anything right now............ With so much food............ At least the next step is much easier! ”

“……………… However, while we don't have to worry about food for a short time............ But if you don't have a long-term food supply...... Sooner or later, we will face the big problem of food shortage! The boy thought for a moment and said.

"Isn't it possible to convert energy into food?" Yuri asked a little strangely.

"Yu! The power of the floating wave can only be used if you find a source of energy, and sooner or later, the energy source in this city will become less and less like food! Chiho replied.

“………… Other words...... Even if we don't starve to death now............ Isn't there a guarantee that you won't starve to death in the future? Yuri said with some trepidation.

"Hmmm! You're right! Qianhu nodded.

"Ahh ………… It's so desperate! Yuri looked up to the sky and sighed.

“………… You're so noisy! Chiho patted Yuri's head and said.

"Hmm!" The noisy Yuri immediately quieted down!

"Well! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge...... None of us know what the future holds, do we? Just pay attention to the moment! The boy said as he tidied up his personal space.

Because there are too many things, especially the variety of things, he plans to take out all the things in the space and organize them first. In order to prevent some fragile items from being broken, the teenager opened the hole downward against the ground, and then controlled the hole to slowly move up until all the items were stacked on the ground.

"There are a lot of things I don't know in the floating wave sauce!" Yuri said curiously, looking at a flashlight-like object that rolled to her feet.

"That's a beam cutter...... That is, a tool that uses a laser as a cutting edge...... I use the tools I make from the leftover materials from the hoverboard............," the teenager explained.

“………… What's the use of this? Yuri then asked.

"Because the blade has high energy and heat, it can be used to cut roadblocks that may be encountered on the road............"

"Oh! I see! With that, Yuri began to play with the beam cutter in her hand.

The boy continued to clean up the ground, sorting the pile roughly as he cleaned up. With the continuous sorting and sorting, the debris pile on the ground began to decrease continuously............ In the end, only a few items were scattered on the floor, and the most eye-catching of them was a golden can!

"This can seems to have been replaced with a giant robot's energy pack!" Chiho looked at the cans on the ground and said curiously.

"Hmmm! And it seems to have words on it............" The boy picked up the can and squinted at the line of words etched on the side in English: Acacias'Center.

"Na! What is written on it in the floating wave sauce? Yuri couldn't wait to ask.

"Literally translated, it seems to be the core of Acacia? ………… But that's not what it means............ I think it's a kind of food called Center cooked by a person named Acacia! The young man guessed with some hesitation.

"Naa! Let's open this can and take a look! Yuri egged.

"You !! Didn't you just eat? Qianhu said speechlessly.

"It's dinner! It's time for breakfast, isn't it? Yuri said confidently.

“………… Hawkers! Whatever you say, you have a point............" Qianhu said tiredly.

“nuyi~~~~！” With a familiar chirp, a soft white figure emerged from a hole in mid-air and landed on Chino's helmet.

“………… Successful landing............"

"Ahh It's nuko! Yuri happily took Nuko off Chino's helmet.

“nuko！ Where the hell did you just go? Qianhu asked with a serious face.

“nu！ ………… Dig a hole to eat energy............ I've met Crystal Wall............" Nuko said calmly.

"Crystal wall? ………… What is it? Yuri asked, holding Nuko up in front of her eyes.

"nu~~~ is a barrier between worlds............ "Nuko replied.

"Chi-chan?"

Yuri still didn't understand what Nuko was saying, so she went to ask Senhu to ask for advice.

“………… I think I've seen this in a book............ Probably talking about the spatial barriers that exist between the multiverses! Qianhu said with some difficulty.

“……………… Not! I still don't understand! Yuri was still confused.

“………… To put it simply, as long as Nuko can create a hole in the crystal wall she encounters, it can take us to another world! The boy said with some excitement.

“………… Another world? Is it Elysium? Yuri said with a sudden realization.

“……………… Probably not! Fubo said in a cold sweat.

"Ahh In this case............ We can just let Nuko take us to other places with more plants, animals, and humans! Qianhu said with a flash of inspiration.

At this moment, even Yuri understands the value of Nuko's ability no matter how dull she is............ That's right! Break the thing called the crystal wall and go to a better new world!

“nu！ ………… Lack of ability! Can't break the crystal wall............"

Just when Yuri and Senhu were excited, Nuko suddenly poured a basin of cold water............

"Huh!? How is this so~~~~" Yuri's original excitement turned into disappointment.

"Yuri, don't worry! I'll keep asking. The boy comforted Yuri and took Nuko from her!

“nu？” Nuko looked at the boy with a cute face.

"That...... nuko~~ So how can you have the ability to break through the crystal wall? ”

“………… Grow up or devour objects with strange powers............" Nuko replied.

“………… Is this corn okay? Yuri asked, taking the corn cob out of the space.

“………… The energy isn't enough to destroy the crystal wall............" Nuko said, shaking her cute head.

"Hmm! ………… Can't you............" Yuri withdrew her corn cob in disappointment.

"Looks like I can only bet on this can in my hand............" The boy said as he returned Nuko to Yuri, taking out the golden-colored can and trying to open it.

However, because the material of the can is so special, neither the corkscrew nor the beam cutter can leave a mark on it, let alone open it!

In the end, the boy had to use the decomposition function of the bracelet to cut off the lid of the can little by little..................

"That's all there is left.................. All right! The boy exclaimed excitedly.

With the last bit of the can lid cut off by the bracelet, the can is finally opened! What appeared in front of the trio was a jar full of thick liquid............

“nu！？” As if sensing the temptation of the mysterious liquid in the can, Nuko jumped over to the side of the can and began to drink the liquid from the can............

After a long time, it was not until there was only half of the liquid in the can that Nuko stopped eating because she couldn't eat anymore.

"How?" Yuri asked with a worried expression.

"nuyi~~~~" Nuko didn't answer Yuri's words, but shouted directly, as if there was a powerful energy accumulated in her body and needed catharsis urgently, and with her shouting, a tunnel of colorful light appeared in front of the three of them!

"Looks like it worked!" The boy said happily.

"Great!" Yuri excitedly ran to Nuko's side, picked her up, and spun around excitedly.

"Bell"

Yuri, who was too excited, didn't pay attention for a moment and knocked over the golden can. I saw that the thick liquid in the can was very unscientifically flowing out of the can, and immediately covered a large area of snow around it...............

"Yuri be careful! Come here! The boy called out to Yuri.

"Oh! But the cans ..................," Yuri looked at the cans that had been completely submerged in the thick liquid with some guilt, and stopped talking.

"Leave it alone! The hole seems to be getting smaller............ Let's hurry inside! Qianhu hurriedly ran over and grabbed Yuri's little hand and said.

"That's right! Come here! The boy said anxiously.

At the last moment, the three of them rushed in before the tunnel was completely closed and began a new unknown journey..................
