"Nothing, just a research topic......"

The long golden hair seemed to have a dazzling color like flowing gold in the light of the oil lamp, and the elegant and generous beautiful girl in red said lightly.

"I could have done it alone, but unfortunately this guy was not convinced, and he couldn't see that I succeeded so easily, so he had to come over and intervene."

"Erica!" The girl with long silver-brown hair tied into a ponytail and a fairy-like upright face suddenly exploded.

How can this guy be so cheeky! And her own people are still here, she slandered her face-to-face, does she think she is blind?

"Don't be so loud, this is a big library, Liliana, don't you know to keep quiet?"

Erica kept an elegant and decent smile and said softly, but at this time, such words undoubtedly played a better role in mocking.

"That...... Please don't do that. Yuuki Asuna smiled bitterly, her tone weakly trying to persuade the two, she always felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the pressure in the air also made her forehead sweat.

- If this continues, these two girls won't fight directly, right?

Her father is the CEO of RECT, a large electronics manufacturer, and her mother is a professor at a university...... However, in front of these two people, she suddenly found that she seemed to be suppressed by these two people.

It seems that the other party is the daughter of a famous family who came out of those long-standing families, and he is just an ordinary person with a better background.

That temperament can't be hidden, and the same is true of that ancient mystery.

"Humph......"

Clenching her fists, Liliana snorted coldly and endured. She also knew that purely in terms of mouth cannons, she was different from the skinless and faceless crimson demon opposite, and she had no chance of winning at all.

Detached from the topic itself to be discussed, this guy can kill people if it is purely-for-tat, and it is said that in her own association, I don't know how many old people have been angry with heart attacks.

"It's okay if you're not convinced, how about we just let this one evaluate it?"

Erica, who found that her rival had retreated decisively and had lost her reason to pursue, was slightly disappointed, but her eyes were locked on Yuuki Asuka's body.

"Huh? I...... Me? What to evaluate? The girl with chestnut color and long straight hair was stunned, she didn't expect the fire to burn on her body so quickly, and she suddenly panicked.

"You know our names, what about you? What do you call it? Erica asked.

"I ...... My name is Yasna. She opened her mouth and subconsciously used the name of the previous game.

"Yasna? This name ......" Erica raised an eyebrow, then shook her head again, "The Japanese style of naming is really strange, but it doesn't matter, since you can be here, it means that you must also be a person with great potential in the eyes of that guy!" ”

I know the Japanese and speak Italian...... Sure enough, they are not monsters, nor aliens, but people like themselves.

Yasna, who was thinking about such a thing, felt completely relaxed just now, and then found that she had received new information again, and it appeared with a question that she couldn't answer.

She suddenly became nervous again, not knowing how to answer the question.

Who is "that guy"? Is it strange that I'm able to be here? Or is this place important?

Wait, now is not the time to think about this, it's how to answer this question! I don't know anything, and I don't understand anything, so if I open my mouth rashly, it may be exposed!

The two girls on the other side were obviously preconceived, thinking that Yasna was also from here, as if two students went to the school library to check the information and found another peer sleeping on his stomach on the opposite table.

Normal people will definitely not suspect anything, they will only think that the other party is another student in the school, and they will not think that this is a suspicious person for no reason.

However, the perception caused by this misunderstanding is also quite fragile, and it is possible that as long as one sentence is wrong, it will arouse suspicion.

It's just—

"Erica! You are so rude that it is not the knight's work to slander our king behind your back......"

Before Azna could figure out what to do, Liliana was already frowning and pointed out the faux pas in Erica's words.

"I just didn't use an honorific title, how can I slander it. And he also said not to be so rigid, he doesn't like ......," the blonde girl pouted, "and I want to be not only his first knight, but also his lover." ”

"Don't be ashamed...... That's the Most High King. ”

The corners of Liliana's mouth twitched a few times, it stands to reason that after hearing this kind of talk for a long time, she should always get used to it, and she is somewhat immune.

But for some reason, she felt piercing and angry every time she heard this sworn enemy say such dreamy words without modesty, and with full confidence and steadfastness, as if sooner or later she would achieve her goal.

"So what, he's not the other demon kings, he's different." Erica said disapprerovingly, she firmly believed that she would be able to do it sincerely, and the golden stone would be open.

It's just that...... Isn't that guy really only interested in the dead?

In all likelihood, the hand of bones, the characteristics of the dead, the divinity of Hades, and the symbol of the "serpent" mean that he is at least inseparable from the concept of death, and it is reasonable to be influenced by this tendency.

Speaking of which, not only was the Council of the Greenwich Sages trying to gather information about him to no avail, but even those like her, who had sworn allegiance to him, didn't know what power the other party had.

It is impossible to discern how many pillars the god he killed, or how many powers he wields.

After all, this kind of thing itself is a secret, and no one will be stupid enough to come to the door before hoping that the demon king will cooperate with them and fill out an investigation questionnaire. The reason why the information of those demon kings is clear is that the oldest of them has lived for at least two centuries, so the details have gradually been discovered in many battles.

And the youngest is the demon king who has only risen in recent years, and he knows the root of every battle, so he also has general information.

But for a guy who seemed to jump straight out of a crack in the stone, and had never recorded anything from beginning to end, there was no way to do it, and only time could explain everything.

The High King?

Knight?

Beelzebub?

What the hell is it?,Why do you feel more and more confused?,Just now I thought that everyone should be a person under the same worldview.,But now it seems to be different.。

Yasna's expression remained in a state of embarrassment but politeness, and she began to wonder if she had really become Alice, and whether there would be a red queen or a white queen next?

"There are no restrictions in the big library, but if you don't apply, you won't be able to come in at will......

By this time, the girl named Erica had turned her head again and asked her with great interest.

"Since you can go all the way to the top, you should be the same guy...... Ahem, is my king a very optimistic person, right? Then it must be enough to give some opinions, why don't you evaluate which of the two of us is right? ”

"Evaluation...... What to evaluate? Yasna felt her face start to stiffen, she tried to keep her voice normal, can she call the outside for help at this time?

But I tried it before, and there was no signal brought in by the mobile phone, so I used it at most to see the time, and even if it could really be used at this time, she couldn't really call out for help in person!

Besides, who can you call to?!

"That's it...... Hero's Soul. Erica reached out and grabbed a fist-sized piece of pure white crystal from the table, the lower half hemispherical and the upper half vaguely irregular.

Overall, at first glance, it's easy to think of something like a crystal skull.

Its properties are clear and free of impurities, crystal clear, and the inside is a slowly flowing liquid state...... No, not a liquid, but a strange sight like a rising flame, just very vague.

"Our problem is how to use its power correctly, so there is a difference of opinion......"

Liliana spoke, "It's a research subject, because we can't rely on the king to solve everything, so what's the use of us?" So we took it. ”

"It's just that there hasn't been anything like this before, and there are too many books on soulology, so we ...... for a while Don't have a clue. The blonde girl nodded, and added lightly.

Then, she looked at it with some expectation—

"We saw you fall asleep directly over there before, so hard, you probably are studying specifically in this area, after all, the books on the top floor are all about the realm of spirit and soul."

"This ......" Yasna opened her mouth, completely panicked, "I'm not, I don't have ...... No, I mean ......"

"It's okay, the soul of a hero is something that the king has only recently tossed, and there has been no such thing before."

Liliana interjected at the right time, "The closest is the soul stone of soul alchemy, but it is also similar, not the same...... You don't have to worry about anything, we just want you to give me some advice. ”

She also knew that even a mystic scholar who studied the realm of souls could not give a solution immediately, so she just wanted some useful advice.

"No, I...... Wait, wait, I mean......"

Yasna was desperate to find that she had no way to make up an excuse that was not flawed in a hurry, and then slip away.

As a result, he was dragged to the edge of the table and sat down, forced to calm down and stubbornly studied the large books that were completely like heavenly books.

Please, let me die......

Why is it like this!

Be sure to fool the past! You must fool the past! Soul science, alchemy...... This crazy world, no matter how you look at it, it's not normal!

As for Erica and Liliana, neither of them suspected anything.

After all, this is the city of the sunset, how can anyone who can enter here have a problem! If it was really any threat, it would have been pinched to death by the master of the dream realm for the first time.

It's just that the two girls probably didn't think about it at all, and people who don't threaten are not necessarily people who don't have problems. Maybe it's just because the problem is so small that someone didn't have time to deal with it at the time, and then they didn't care about it, and then they simply forgot about it.

……

……

Half-asleep and half-awake, consciousness slowly returned to reality.

This time, the nightmare was finally over, and it took a long time to slowly open his eyes and look at Yuuki Assuna on the ceiling in his room.

She broke out in a cold sweat, extremely uncomfortable, and the feeling of depression made her heart beat extremely fast, and it was only now that it slowly eased up...... After all, no matter who you are, nerves for hours are definitely not a good experience.

When I woke up, I was even more tired.

The girl sat up from the bed with some weakness, and then lifted the quilt, and found herself clutching a thick ancient book in her hand.

It was the first time she had tried to bring something back from there...... Definitely not paranoia!

Biting her lower lip hard, the girl finally made up her mind, she wanted to have a showdown with her parents-

I didn't want them to worry before, and I was afraid that they would feel that their mental problems had not been healed, so I hid the fact that I would sleepwalk in Wonderland almost every night.

But now, she can't even read these ancient books without the help of her parents.

I finally got through the trick before, but as long as I can't completely get out of that twilight city, then sooner or later I will have to face it! The only thing she could do was to cramble on her feet and start endorsing desperately.

You can't be direct, at least memorize a few sentences, and you can occasionally pretend to say the last sentence.

If it's like that just now, I won't be able to fool around a few times......

Damn it! Why did you suffer such a fate! The girl put on her shoes and ran out of the bedroom, extremely sad and desperate.

She finally knew what it was like for those scumbags to feel before the final exam.

But in fact, even she didn't realize that there was an excitement deep inside her-

It was the joy of a girl discovering a great world secret alone.
