✿BGM: Shuiyue Mausoleum - 落さる太陽

-

Night, Holy Night Academy.

The night sky that silently surrounds the earth and gently shines through the skylight of the triangular roof. The long, labyrinthine staircase stretches to the end of the eye. Surrounded by mountains of books, the vastness is like stars.

It was a beautiful, quiet night. However, for the cherry blossom-haired girl who is desperately looking for an exit, it is more appropriate to describe it as "the beginning of a nightmare".

- Yameng walked into the top floor of the library, with its green greenhouse and huge chandeliers. The chandelier was not lit, and the surrounding light was dim...... No, it's pitch black. In the aisle between the two bookshelves, countless faint candles fluttered in the darkness, just enough to illuminate the edges of the shelves.

(Strange, why haven't you found an exit yet?...... ）

-

With no one behind him but his four sweethearts, Aemon poked his head out from behind a row of bookshelves and peered down the main aisle.

A girl about 140 centimeters tall and dressed in a luxurious velvet dress decorated with black velvet and lace lace faded away in the main aisle with a lantern emitting orange light.

"Ameng, if you're tired, sit down and rest for a while, it's not a way to hide like this." With obvious anxiety in her voice, she looked around and continued helplessly. "We've run all the way to this level, but there doesn't seem to be an exit here."

"Isn't there an exit...... So how did we get in in the first place? I remember coming up from a very ordinary staircase. Amon leaned against the back of the bookshelf, rubbing her temples in distress. Immediately, she thought of the weightlessness that suddenly hit her, and lowered her voice and exclaimed. "It's the book......!"

"However, the book disappeared after it was opened by Ameng...... "Xiaosi's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if tears were about to fall.

"Missing......? Are you sure...... Yes! ”

Ran's screams cut through the silence of the night, and Ameng turned back in horror to see the moon's dusty sapphire blue eyes glowing with a cold glow that made people gasp, as elusive as a dream at dawn. The white-skinned and delicate fingertips of the brown-haired girl pinched Xiaolan's petite neck.

"Put Xiaolan down."

Amon straightened up and stood in front of the remaining three sweethearts. Seeing that Yue Yingluo didn't move, she frowned and repeated again.

"Put her down!"

After a few more seconds, as if she had just heard Ameng's words, Yue Yingluo put Xiaolan, who was on the verge of dying and unconscious, on the bookshelf beside her. She didn't notice Ameng's angry expression at all, and said aloud:

"If you and she were the only one who survived, would you be willing to die in her place?"

The sudden question made Ameng move her gaze back to Yue Yingluo from Xiaolan in surprise. And Yue Yingluo didn't care and continued:

"Tell you, that's the situation you're facing right now. For example, the gods of Greek mythology, the giants of Northern Europe, and the legend of goblins in Dongying. I guess you know that, right? ”

(Xiaolan's school garden monster talks about "the fairy of the library"...... Legend has it that the elves who inhabit the library possess endless wisdom and can solve all the world's mysteries for those who accidentally discover her, but at the same time eat the souls of those who come to her...... But to die? The word is too far away. But now, it seems to be close at hand. ）

"Xiaolan is a companion who has been with me for three years. I don't know what you mean by that......"

"Tell me your answer now. Since you saw me without a present, you're going to have to pay for your interruption - if you're going to play the goblin, I'll play it to the end. ”

Yue Yingluo interrupted Ameng's words, her expression was still as cold and clear as when she first met, and she slowly took a step in the direction of Ameng.

"Anyway...... Fairies can't exist, right? ”

Amon swallowed his saliva and wanted to take a step back to distance himself from the moon in front of him, but found that there was already a pure white and flawless wall behind him. Fear flooded like a tide in an instant, and the invisible pressure was like a mountain, making her almost suffocate.

"A race so powerful that other races fear it—if it exists, it shouldn't be a pleasant thing for you humans."

Yue Yingluo played with her hair and continued.

"You've been dodging the questions I originally asked you. I thought you weren't the same guy as that, but it turned out to be so disappointing. It's just an ignorant human being, it's boring. Since you want to leave this place where there is no room for exit, then I will send you away. ”

"As for your pay for those frivolous questions—"

The brown-haired girl looked back at Xiaolan and chuckled.

"It's already been collected."

-

The night sky is illuminated by the full moon, and just one glance can make you fall into a dream.

The cherry blossom-haired girl stood in front of the back door of the large library, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She looked up at the moon and wondered if she was dreaming.

(If it's just a nightmare, there's nothing to worry about.) ）

But as a dream, it was too real. With a petite figure, a delicate face, sapphire-like transparent eyes, and long brown hair that is as smooth as satin, she is like a doll made by the gods. She had never seen such a beautiful girl, but she said life and death with a blank face, like ...... A goblin without a heart.

(So I guess I was dreaming just now.) ）

"Xiaolan, Maggie, Xiaosi, Cube, let's go."

"Ameng? What are you talking about? ”

Before she could take a few steps, Xiaosi's puzzled voice came from behind her.

"Eh, what's wrong?"

Amon turned her head in confusion and looked at the four sweethearts behind her—no, three, to be exact.

(Why are there only three ......?) What about Xiaolan? ）

At this time, Xiaosi tilted her head and looked at Yameng, which was just right to echo Yameng's heart.

"Xiaolan is...... Who is it? ”
