"Tick, tick, tick, tick......"

The pendulum made of metal, swaying gently day and night, depicts the footsteps of time.

The flames in the fireplace, from time to time, made bursts of "crackling" sounds, in the quiet air, quietly rippling.

The boulder-framed room is neither big nor small, just enough to fit a full set of sofas and two rows of bookshelves.

The redwood bookshelves are slightly cluttered, stuffed with heavy books, with a hint of antiquity, mottled by the flames in the fireplace and chandelier.

On the same wooden sofa, a whole piece of the fur of an unknown monster is simply cushioned, and the mottled and complicated lines reveal a layer of strange light. A young man in a black deacon robe sat quietly on it, his fingertips with white gloves, and from time to time he made a crisp "whoosh" sound.

In the quiet air, the pages of the book, with time, were gently turned over page by page.

"Tuk Tuk!"

A sudden knock on the door shattered the silence.

The boy didn't look up, only his fingertips, rubbing lightly on the page.

"Please come in."

"Squeak~"

The simple wooden door was gently pushed open, and a young girl dressed in a maid's costume entered. What is amazing is that on the top of the girl's head, there is a pair of fluffy animal ears!

The young man raised his head slightly, not feeling the slightest surprise at the sight of the beast's ears, and his delicate cheeks were filled with maturity that did not match his age.

"Your Highness is back?"

A slightly magnetic voice spreads faintly.

"Yes! Just arrived at the door of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

The beast-eared maid stood in the doorway, her hands folded in her lower abdomen, her eyes slightly lowered.

"It seems to be just in time, so you can arrange it." The young man smiled lightly, and suddenly paused, "But you came here on purpose, not just for this matter. ”

The flames in the fireplace suddenly made a slight "crackling" sound, which made the maid's hairy ears tremble slightly.

"Yes. That one...... A ninth-generation dispersed defense robot seems to have been destroyed. ”

"Oh? Someone broke in? ”

"It's not...... It's a new student who has escaped......" The beast-eared maid raised her eyes slightly and quietly glanced at the young man opposite, and continued, "Through the mirror ball, I can identify the number 2580173, that is, the new student that the goddess of fate just sold us today." ”

The air was suddenly quiet for a few seconds, and the black-clothed young man frowned slightly, and then stretched out.

"The guardian of the elves?" The young man's face showed a slight wry smile, "I originally wanted to save some costs, but it seems that every time I buy a new student from them, something will go wrong...... It's really ......."

As he spoke, the boy gently closed the book, then got up and placed it back on the bookshelf beside him.

"Then you go, I'll take care of his business."

The boy turned and looked out through the open wooden window, outside, the brightly lit night outlined the steel buildings, which seemed a little out of place with the cabin he was in.

"Oh, also, arrange for me, I'll personally host it in a while."

————

The wind, whistling in my ears, the stairs, retreating rapidly.

Kazama slumped his eyes, and a deep sleepiness struck him, wrapping him tightly, only his fingers still tightly grasping two pinches of silver needle-like fluff, allowing the snow-white beast to move and jump on the endless staircase.

"Hey, boy, wake up!"

A majestic, wild voice echoed through the long corridors.

"Hmm......"

A confused voice, accompanied by slowly opening sleepy eyes.

His head, still a little drowsy, Kazama Shoha barely raised his head, yawning while looking around.

It's still an endless corridor, endless, stretching up and down.

The cold light and the cold iron wall only gave a slight warmth to the giant beast beneath him.

Memories slowly flooded back.

yes, that's it, Doraemon, gone......

Kazama suddenly remembered the blue robot cat that had disappeared last, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart, and he lazily put his head back on the back of the giant beast.

I guess it's going back......

"Na...... Where do we go now...... Do you know how to get out? ”

Kazama asked weakly, and then suddenly realized that the other party was just a summoned beast.

"Of course I do."

However, summoning the beast, it spoke......

"This kind of closed loop space built by a low-level dimensional master can only trap a rookie like you."

Really, unceremoniously, to the point.

But what Kazama cares about is obviously not this.

"You...... You, you, you, talk! ”

sat up in an instant, and his head seemed to be directly buckled by a basin of cold water, and he was completely sober.

"......" the giant beast's crimson eyes suddenly rolled, "When I can speak, your dimension doesn't exist yet......"

"Uh......"

What is this? Super Ancient Species? And if you can speak, at least it's an S-level Warcraft, right? Maybe it's still SS, or even SSS?

Kazama suddenly felt that when he was hungry in the first place, it was a wise decision to dispel the idea of eating it.

"That...... Can you tell me about that closed loop space? ”

Kazama has always been haunted by the fact that he ran for most of the day and returned to that room that looked like a human laboratory, and it seemed to be fun to close the loop space or something......

"Although I am not obligated to tell you that it is for He'er's face to save you, I will reluctantly teach the younger generation."

Belch...... Didn't I call you? …… What a guy who is heavy on color and light on friends......

"The enclosed space is a dimensional master of at least A rank or above, using the power of the dimension to create an independent dimensional space, and then cutting off most of its connection with the original element, and then self-connecting, forming a seemingly infinite but actually circular space, no matter how you go and how you toss, you will return to the original point."

“……”

No wonder...... In other words, have you always been in the same place...... Thinking of this, Kazama has a feeling that he has been tricked.

In front of him, a listless face suddenly appeared. That face must be smiling happily when he runs desperately......

"But, if that's the case, how are we going to get out?"

"Get out of the exit."

And rightfully so, nonsense.

“…… I mean, how do you find the exit......"

"Well...... this"

The beast's pace suddenly slowed down a little, and it began to walk unhurriedly.

"Feeling. For beings whose own strength has reached a certain level, feeling the flow of space particles and energy, or even directly observing the dimensional connection, it is very easy to find the only entrance and exit with feelings. ”

The giant beast raised its head, turned away, and glanced at Kazama, its huge mouth pulling out an ugly smile, and then slowly stopped.

"Of course, this kind of thing is still too early for you."

“……”

Although it would make people very unhappy to be underestimated, it was a fact after all, so Kazama Yangyu didn't get angry, but just touched his nose in embarrassment.

"How...... Stopped. ”

Kazama looked around, there was nothing special, only the same staircase as always, as far as the eye could see.

"It's here, exit."

The snow-white beast shook its fur slightly, shook off the guy on its back, and then swept its tail and lowered Kazama Hiroki to the ground without any danger.

"Don't show off your skills like this in the future...... It's going to die! ”

Like an acrobatic performance, Kazama Hiroha, who hit N laps in the air and finally landed, was shocked and protested dissatisfied.

"Do you think there will be a next time when you ride me on my back?" The giant beast glanced at Kazama with contempt, "This time it's a special case, a special case, you can make it a lifetime honor." ”

"......" Kazama pouted and didn't continue the topic that made the other party inflate himself, "What about the exit?" ”

"Whoa."

The beast turned, facing somewhere on the wall on one side of the staircase, lowered its head, and arched its nose.

A wall that, it seems, couldn't be more ordinary......

Kazama walked over slowly, and the steel walls still reflected a cold light in the white light.

Gently, he reached out his hand, and then, as if the wall did not exist, the palm of his hand, like this, went straight through, without even a layer of ripples.

Kazama's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and he turned back happily, only to find that the huge figure had long been gone, only a snow-white puppy, staring at two big black eyes, looking at himself pitifully.

"Oops...... What a lazy guy......"

Kazama leaned over and picked it up, and then, gently, stepped into the cold wall......

————

It's like, the spring breeze is blowing, warm, and with a hint of tingling.

The dim light made Kazama Hiroha, who had just walked in from the blazing white light, slightly uncomfortable. Vision, for a moment, was deprived.

Then, slowly recover.

Yongdao is still a road made of steel.

It's just that there is no white light, and there is no such longevity.

Bright beams of light poured in from the low staircase at the end of the corridor, like a lighthouse in the dark ocean, and with a faint hustle and bustle.

Finally, are you about to go out......

Kazama stroked the napping puppy in his arms and gently patted its head.

"Thank you."

There was no answer, only the sound of Kazama's footsteps slowly stepping out of the feather, which sounded in the darkness.

The footsteps are slow and cautious, step by step.

There is more and more light, and you can gradually see the ground of the road.

The footsteps were slow and heavy, and then, gradually, lighter and quicker.

In the end, it turned into a small trot.

The light is expanding rapidly, and the exit is already clearly visible, and the noise outside is gradually clear, and Kazama seems to be able to hear all kinds of shouting sounds, mixed with excitement and excitement.

The bustling feeling makes people feel as if they are about to enter a busy city.

All kinds of vendors are shouting and selling over there, bargaining with the pedestrians on the side of the stalls, and the sun shines down from above, quiet and warm.

It should be like this, Kazama thought so, looked up at the exit in front of him, and then, with a sudden force on his heel, and just like that, he jumped out gently......

The intense light pierced the pupils in an instant, making Kazama Hiroha can't help but close his eyes.

The overwhelming cheers and noises, in an instant, swept in, and slammed into Kazama's eardrums, almost knocking him unconscious.

Then, the hustle and bustle died down, and the air, suddenly strangely quiet, as if waiting for something quietly.

Kazama slowly opened his eyes.

A world, a world of darkness, boundless darkness.

A beam of light, an abrupt light, pierced this darkness, like a dawn that pierced through heaven and earth, so out of place, yet so dazzling and dazzling.

And in the middle of this pillar of light, alone, stood a figure, dazed and stunned.

Countless gazes, projected from the darkness in all directions, pierced through the barriers of space, and burned streams of heat onto his face.

In a trance, a slightly magnetic voice sounded abruptly, with unparalleled excitement and enthusiasm.

"The last one, the elven guardian from the Land of Light - Wind, Room, Yang, and Feather!"

"Boom!"

The cheers, in an instant, exploded, and there was a kind of madness, in the darkness, quietly burning.
