(Precious Chinese medicine abalone, which can be used to restore fù100HP.) ）

By the time they arrived in front of the school building where the battle had taken place, the fighting on the side of the SSS regiment members had already ended.

It seemed that there had been a fierce battle for quite a long time, and because of the peculiarity of the enemy, everyone had a panicked and puzzled expression on their faces.

Even if you have fought and won against something like that, it does not bring any joy to you.

"Those things...... What is it......"

Noda-kun, who had always appeared in front of me with a hot-blooded and tough guy attitude, lost the strength to continue holding her huge battle axe, and sat on the ground panting.

"Isn't it ...... You're the enemy you made, right? ”

Have you been sparing no effort against me until such a time? Then again, it was definitely because I saw Yuriko by my side.

"How about the loss...... Has anyone been injured or killed? ”

Completely ignoring Noda's words, the first thing Yuri did was to look around for Takamatsu, who was usually a war report and staff officer.

Takamatsu ...... He was swallowed up by the shadows! ”

The person who made this voice in horror was the young man whose name was Oyama, who had been called "the most useless person in the battle line" by Yuri, and it seemed that not only did he not play any role in the battle just now, but also seemed to have suffered a considerable amount of fright.

But......

"Shadowed...... Gulp?! ”

Yuri and I asked in the same tone of voice, surprised.

"I ...... I saw Takamatsu in the hallway...... Entangled in shadows, and then the whole person was swallowed! ”

"And then...... And then what?! ”

You know, this is an afterlife, even if you are swallowed by a shadow, you will die, but then you can be resurrected and continue to fight?

However, from the expression of the mountain, there was nothing related to this aspect in the content I saw.

"Eliminate ...... Gone...... It's gone when it's swallowed......"

The boy held his head in horror and shook it desperately, judging by the pained expression, it seemed that after that, he should have been attacked by the shadows as well.

That kind of pain...... It's not something that ordinary people can endure lightly.

"Shadow...... Yes. ”

This empty area was the battlefield just now, but now except for the dense bullet holes that could be seen on the ground and the surrounding walls, there was no enemy breath or body left at all—that kind of thing, even if it was cut into countless parts, it would only dissipate into air in the end.

"The question is...... These guys...... What the hell is it?! ”

Yuriko angrily confronted me, and in her opinion, the only person who could have known about this qiē was me.

"Isn't it related to that god? So, these things should have been sent by that guy to destroy us, right?! What do you say that he has completely lost control of this world, first those giants, and now these shadows have appeared, and even Takamatsu has been swallowed up, what the hell is going on?! ”

Before this, even if someone died in the battle, or to put it another way, even if Noda-kun was killed by Riko herself, the girl had never expressed such anger and fierce feelings.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Even though she usually looks quite dark-bellied, and doesn't seem to cherish the lives of her companions, I can clearly feel that it is precisely because of the importance of her friends that the girl has been able to persist like this until now.

Whether it was the importance and trust I had because I protected her, or the fact that I had made a decision that was completely opposite to my own thoughts after careful consideration in the subsequent conversation with me because it was related to everyone......

Even before the shadow raided us, Yuri had just said to me a request to "help everyone and make everyone disappear from this world happily".

With such a strong desire to protect others, it can even be said that he has stayed in the afterlife with such a belief, but now he has to face the fact that his companion has disappeared in front of his eyes due to the surprise attack of strange creatures......

"So! You guy! You're definitely the hell, right?! Everyone at GDM is too, and so is Takamatsu, are you hiding somewhere?! ”

The girl grabbed the collar in a strong way.,Although this question is completely unfounded.,But it'...... In fact, it was slightly stated that the facts were slightly explained by Yuli in a situation that had nothing to do with this incident.

"Yuriko, calm down."

Hinata, a senior member of the group on the side, came to the girl's side and gently patted Yuriko's trembling shoulder.

"Even if you say that, you actually trust Makoto-san, right? I didn't want to be hostile from the beginning, so don't you think you're deceiving yourself by saying such things now? ”

Taking advantage of Hinata's appeasement, the feelings tended to stabilize slightly, and I also took the opportunity to make my position clear to Yuri.

"Yuri could have trusted me completely, you know, I was almost swallowed by those shadows just now."

At this time, there was a feeling of fear in my heart.,Although it is the identity of a player.,But,If it's really swallowed by those shadows.,I'm afraid ...... It is definitely not the ordinary death in this world that is the same as the everyday.

"Ah...... That's right. ”

This time, Yuriko finally let go of the hand that was holding my collar.

"I'm really sorry, Makoto, but, now, Makoto doesn't even have any relevant clues?"

Because he pinned all his hopes on me, as a result, because of the violent fluctuations in emotion, along with the pressure, it also broke out in my body.

"I'll try to see if there's anything that might be related to the event."

Anyway, Yuri is always just a girl, and at this time, if I don't put on a posture that is enough for the girl to trust and rely on, then, I'm afraid I'll be confused because of the sudden pressure, right?

So,If anyone has to say that there is something that may be related to this emergency,,Then,I'm afraid there is only a girl who has an inevitable connection with this world.。

"Shikuru, those things...... Shikuru should know, right? Could it be Suzumiya-san, she ......?"

"Right...... I'm sorry...... Makoto-san, although it is not forbidden this time, I really don't know what the creature is just now......"

The girl looked at me apologetically, as if she didn't know anything.

"Uh......h It's a stalemate now, and it doesn't look like it's something related to the Liang Palace......"

There is no corresponding attack prompt in the system prompt, and there is no damage to the school building, so it should be a change in the world itself that has occurred after death.

"Ah...... Yuriko, by the way, when you were in the library just now, did you notice how these shadows appeared? ”

Yuriko, who was directing everyone around to inform the other members of the group, thought for a moment and shook her head suspiciously.

"At that time, I was talking to Makoto-san, so I didn't pay attention to my surroundings......"

Actually, I was in the same state at the time, and my mind and attention were mostly absorbed by Riko's words, and I didn't even notice when the NPC model students who were reading books began to disappear......

"Now, Commander, a communication from Yusa!"

Although the shape is severe, it seems that Yuyi, who is quite cheerful and lively, is not at all infected by such an atmosphere, and at the same time, he works hard to spur everyone on with a rather exuberant feeling, and at the same time, he also takes on the work of on-site liaison.

"I'm the reason."

"Report, the shadow is an NPC that has changed for unknown reasons."

"Ah, I see, I see."

"Okay."

It seems that the communication between the two girls has always been carried out in this way, but until then......

"Oops?! Yusa! Wait a minute! You just said...... Shadows are NPCs turned into?! ”

"I just saw the shadow of change in the corridor swallowing Takamatsu."

Even if there is no personal emotion or tone in such a statement, the content alone is enough to surprise anyone.

Shadow...... Is it an NPC?

Wait a minute...... Indeed, when Kazuri broke through from the library, the NPCs that were supposed to be in the library disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by shadows that attacked the two of us......

"Open...... Just kidding, NPC...... How could such a change suddenly occur? ”

Even with eyewitness testimony, Yuri still can't seem to believe it.

"Now, that's the only way to explain it, right?"

The previous doubts were all confirmed after getting Yu Zuo's testimony, and sure enough, this time the incident was caused by the strange changes that took place in the world itself after death?

But...... Why is the afterlife ...... Will this change occur suddenly?

One question leads to another, and now I'm once again in a state of confusion because of such a question.

There is no reason, no reason, a sudden attack, a sudden change, these unexpected situations are completely impossible to include in the thinking loop for reference.

Moreover, in such a situation, even the transcendent plan with the different goals of Yuri and me, and the subsequent battle against the gods, will inevitably be horribly affected.

"Really...... Super chaotic situation. ”

In an uncertain situation, it was impossible to come up with a solution, and before that, it would have been quite difficult to even effectively guard against the surprise attack of the shadows.

"The whole school is ...... But there are a fair number of NPCs, and ...... That's right! ”

Suddenly, I thought about the situation on the student council side, you know, on the side of the student council, all the battle members are made up of NPC students except Naoi and Sota, and if they are attacked at this time......

"Sincerely."

Just worried about the situation on the other side, the Zhixian beside him had already thoughtfully handed over the communicator, and what came from the communicator was a voice that was so calm that there was no fluctuation.

"There was a ...... Strange enemies, very strange. ”

Ah, I know those are strange enemies, but it seems that I can easily deal with those guys with my strength, right?

"So, both Kana and Naoi are safe, right?"

"Naoi...... He was attacked and is currently unconscious. ”

I'm really lucky, if I'm just in a coma, there shouldn't be any problems.

After all, she's just a weak girl, even if she claims to be a god and has that kind of powerful hypnosis, she will be unbearable when she experiences the pain of her soul being torn apart, right?

"Another ......"

I thought that this was the end of the conversation, and I was going to let Kana bring Naoi to meet everyone, but as a result, the girl suddenly provided quite important information.

"The direction of the sports field...... Someone was under siege. ”

Playground?

Since there was no attack by the gods today, and the battle with the student council had been suspended, it stands to reason that the SSS regiment would definitely not arrange manpower in that direction......

"Yuri, are you on the other side of the stadium a member of the battle line?"

Next, I got a negative answer from Yuri's side, but in this case, it made people even more troubled.

"Really...... It can't be a newcomer who suddenly appears in the afterlife, right? So, please help me a little bit, and I'll be there to help you right away. ”

After giving the instruction to Yuri, I also made a request to Yuri at the same time for my own reasons.

"Please lend me Shiina for the time being."

The two combat power I have, Yan Ye and Zhixian, if I want to enter the battle, I need to consume my current academic power, but the problem is that the current academic power is only enough to sustain a maximum of two battles, and in this situation, I can't use it in this situation anyway.

"Ah, Shiina, please follow Makoto."

“……”

Yuri readily agreed to my request, and Shiina, who followed me silently.

For a moment, it seemed that the noble daimyo had a sense of superiority when he was protected by the ninjas? Actually, if there was no limit on the number of combat powers, it was originally planned to be raided together with Shiina.

"It's superficial."

It's like this.,The girl who follows her all the time to deny her wrong opinion.,If it's Shiina.,It's definitely quite a reliable combat force.。

However, this time it didn't seem to give Shiina a chance to his own strength, and when I, Yanye, Chisine and Shiina rushed to the center of the stadium, the battle on this side seemed to have ended with the power of one person.

"So, are you alright?"

Even though I didn't even look a little short of breath in the current performance, I still asked if I was concerned.

"It's all right, enemy...... It's a strange shadow. ”V
