Chapter 16: Daintellen's Bookshelves

Dark.

Strange darkness.

It's not like the lonely emptiness, but the narrow secrecy hidden in the box.

Was you teleported somewhere, what's wrong......

Or is it forgotten in the cracks of the dimension?

Fingertips, gently poking out, carrying, tentatively groping.

Then, in a blank state of uncertainty, something was touched.

Soft, a, pleasant to the touch.

This is the existence that Kazama's fingertips touch at this moment.

Carefully open your hand and rub it gently.

Smooth, soft, firm and elastic, with a somewhat scorching warmth.

"Huh~"

Strange sounds, coming from the darkness.

"If it's a greeting for the first time, such a etiquette has never been seen in any books~"

Then, it was as melodious as a silver bell, with a faint laughing voice.

It's a girl's voice, a creature with youthful vitality and a pleasant voice...... The point is, the watery skin they have, the touch may be a little similar to the touch of the fingertips now......

No, it's the same, right?!

Finally realizing something, Kazama jumped violently.

From the prostrate state, like a frog, jumped up.

Then, with exaggerated widening eyes, hunched over, hands naturally resting on knees, panting and raising his head.

I can't move a single inch anymore.

Blue.

In front of him, there was an endless blue.

With nothingness, and dots of white, constantly gathering cotton wool-like objects.

It's like, white clouds.

No, it should be a cloud in itself, but it's not in reality.

Rather, in fairy tales.

Less ethereal, one more, fairytale fantasy.

"Compared to the beautiful girl in front of me, I prefer to appreciate the scenery around me.,Such a boy.,But it's going to be hated.。

It's still the same, with a silver bell-like timbre, with a hint of ethereal.

Kazama raised his head and looked at the figure that was becoming clear in front of him.

But, obviously just now, there was nothing here......

Or is it just because of the thinness of the sense of existence, completely ignored by yourself?

But, no matter what, Kazama still carefully looked at the girl who didn't know when it started and appeared in front of him.

A wonderful visual impact, like, the most beautiful fairy tale, with fantasy and ethereal, poured over.

Winter snowflakes, crystal skin, with long hair like spring cherries, delicate facial features are not particularly amazing, but with, elf-like ethereal and goblin-like cunning, all over the body, except for a dress, there seems to be no other clothing, even the feet, are barefoot, revealing a piece of crystal white ankles.

The ethereal, with a hint of ethereal girl, just like that, sat quietly, suspended in the air, floating in front of Kazama Yangyu, slender hands, slowly moving the pages, not making a "bang, bang", slowly flipping through a thick book that looked ancient.

"Sakuraba."

The girl didn't look up, still quietly focusing on the book in front of her.

"Huh?"

"My name, Sakuraba. If you want, just call me Sakura. ”

Saying lightly, the girl finally raised her head.

Then, with a slight leap, he stood up.

Standing, above the void.

No, it's not the void, at that time, Kazama Hiroha realized that the girl who called herself "Sakura White" had a narrow square platform where she seemed to be floating just now, and where she landed now.

These square platforms, one after the other, were slowly spread out in a spiral shape, that is, a spiral staircase without railings, little by little, spiraling upwards until it reached a very high place.

And himself, at this moment, is also like cherry blossoms, standing on an almost transparent staircase.

Up and down, left and right, empty.

At your feet, in the boundless blue, there are white clouds, slowly drifting by.

"Ahh

Not surprisingly, Kazama screamed subconsciously.

The body unexpectedly fell to its own accord.

Then, get caught.

The wrist was tightly held by a pair of white and somewhat transparent stalks, and pulled back.

"It's going to be out of balance because of fear of heights, and that's how many people the old guys in the academy recommend......"

Sighing in relief, Sakurahiro suddenly bent down and stared at Kazama Hiroha.

It seems that in the eyes without focus, there is a reflection of a face that does not know what to do.

Suddenly, I found myself standing at such a high point in the air, and there was nothing to rely on around me, and most people would be shocked......

Unlike flying into the air by himself, it is natural for Kazama to appear in mid-air without any preparation, and Kazama Raising Feather panicked.

As for losing balance, that's probably a bit of a loss...... Kazama thought so, and then thought of something more important.

"That...... I'm sorry to disturb your careful appreciation of strangers, but you're the one who summoned me, right? ”

"Huh? Yes~"

Nodding as if finally satisfied, a sly smile suddenly appeared on Sakura's face.

"Because there is something you can't do, the tasks that must be completed need to be handed over to you~"

I have to ...... It looks like saying to yourself, "This mission is dangerous, only a daredevils like you can do it," and something like that......

Although it was confirmed that it was indeed the other party who summoned him in the middle of the night, for the sake of the other party's cute appearance, Kazama Yangyu did not choose to complain, and what he cared about now was not this.

"That...... You teleported with me, didn't you...... And another girl? ”

"It's been less than three minutes since I met a beautiful girl and I started asking about other girls or something, does Yang Yu usually treat the girls around him like this?"

With a delicate brow, he frowned slightly, and Sakura Bai gently inserted the book in his hand towards the void, as if inserting a invisible bookshelf.

"If that's the case, it's a cruel thing than saying the other party's food directly to your face~"

With a faint reproach, the thick book quietly disappeared into the void, and then, a hollow, swirling black vortex came out.

Before he had time to complain about the other party's overly familiar name, a figure suddenly flashed in front of Kazama's eyes.

A graceful figure suddenly fell out of it, and then, straight down, fell into the air.

Bending down, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold the other party, and then, with a sharp flick, snatched the girl back from the hands of death.

Kazama raised his head suddenly, and shouted with a slight anger.

"Whew, it's dangerous, do you know!"

"Do you feel more disgusted by doing dangerous things than cruel things? I understand, from now on, I'll try to use as many cruel methods as possible against Yang Yu. ”

Hey, don't say something almost threatening to someone who, judging by their name, is supposed to be a friend......

"Because she also wanted to do something dangerous to me just now, she was thrown into the dimensional space by me~"

As she said casually, Sakura Bai completely ignored the raging anger burning in the black-clothed girl.

"Uh......"

Kazama looked at the girl on the side helplessly, but found that in addition to the still tight black clothes, the other party actually covered the already masked face with a tan light curtain.

Do you not even want your eyes to see? Or is this the professionalism of the character known as the "Killing Princess"?

"Do you want to make a deal?"

There was no answer, just a vague stare from behind the tan mask.

“……”

Even, the voice, is so stingy that you don't want to hear it...... Or is it really a protective measure to protect the true identity of the individual from being discovered?

"Forget it, I was going to propose that if you can help me complete the task, I'll let Sakura let you go or something...... In that case, forget it......"

Kazama pursed his lips and turned away with a helpless wry smile on his face, looking at Sakura Bai again.

"So, let's talk about this mission."

arm, was gently pulled.

It was the girl in black.

In my heart, there was a little Kazama who raised his feathers and jumped up.

Anyway, it doesn't do him any good for the other party to be locked up here, and even if Sakura Bai is willing to let herself and the girl in black leave, it would be very good to rely on her own strength, let alone catch the girl in black, and not be beaten by the other party.

Therefore, Kazama chose to use this established fact as a bargaining chip.

"Hey, what a cunning man, he actually used other people's power as his own bargaining chips or something......"

Unexpectedly, unlike that quiet and ethereal temperament, Sakura Shiro seemed to see through everything, staring at Kazama Hiroha with a smile.

Perhaps, the real demon should feel like this, not the guy like Gu who only shows two small tiger teeth.

"Forget it, let's take a look at your mission first."

Without waiting for Kazama to complain, and without waiting for the girl in black to regret it, Sakura Bai gently stretched out her right hand, her five fingers slightly open, and raised it straight to the sky.

Sakura's thin lips squirmed slightly, and there was a faint chant that quickly came out of Sakura's mouth.

"Inherited in the land of Hongmeng, dawn in chaos, the heart of heaven and earth, the principle of all things, in the name of Daintrian, manifest!"

The fingertips suddenly emitted a little glimmer of light, and then, it quickly extended out, and in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by a complicated milky white magic circle.

The magic circle, spinning slightly, quickly expanded, and with it, a milky white light became stronger and stronger.

Then, in an instant, it enveloped heaven and earth.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa, whoa!"

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of a book flipping through the pages.

Squinting slightly, Kazama quickly looked around.

In the milky white light, countless ancient and heavy books, like birds, flew from the white clouds in all directions.

Then, one by one, as if tired of flying, silently, they suspended on both sides of the transparent staircase.

Each book is arranged in an orderly manner, like an invisible bookshelf, standing in the void.

Books, more and more, like a tidal wave, endless.

Gradually, two spiral walls of books were piled up, separated by a wide transparent staircase, spiraling upwards.

It's like a huge castle that is rising from the ground at a magical speed, a behemoth, and it slowly stands up.

In the middle of the behemoth, above the transparent staircase.

Sakura Bai smiled and turned around, just like the queen on the castle facing her thousands of subjects.

"Welcome, Daintrian's bookshelf!"
