"You don't have to worry about class or anything, anyway, on the first day of school, many pampered young masters and ladies are directly absent......"

Mu Xiu was completely indifferent, and openly made such immature remarks as the vice president of the student union.

"I just have something I want to make sure to you, Kurumi-san. I wonder if you will be able to meet such a small request of mine? ”

And he didn't seem to really plan to take Kurumi Tokizaki to visit the campus, but stopped directly under the shade of the trees in this empty atrium.

After all, this place has a wide view, a lot of space, and it's still time for classes, so there will be no one else, and it's a good place to talk. At least even if it was witnessed by others—

The way it looks now is much better than the statement that he pulled the girl to a remote corner.

You must know that Mu Xiu is very jealous of Lilicia's ability to catch the wind and distort the facts. If that eldest lady is a magician, it is estimated that even the inherent enchantment of the great magic that interferes with the real world with mental images and landscapes has already been mastered.

I can't tell that the two of them have been hidden in the shadows now, and she has taken several photos with subtle and exquisite angles. The current Mu Xiu is all-round camouflage and convergence, and he can be photographed.

Having said that, how brilliant is her understanding of the misplaced shooting techniques that are often used?

"Huh? Is that so? ”

Kurumi Tokizaki tilted her head in surprise, then her lips curled into a smile, "So can you ask what kind of thing it is?" ”

"Two very simple questions, or one question, are – why did you transfer to this school, and why did you say you were an elf?"

Mu Xiu thought quickly for a second, and then asked his question very bluntly.

"Your previous self-introduction was a deliberate transmission of some kind of information, but you don't know me, so who are you passing information on?"

didn't knock on the side, didn't be cautious about the temptation, anyway, the other party had already said so when he introduced himself before, so he felt that he didn't need to hide it.

Although Kurumi Tokizaki transferred to the White Emperor Academy, it should be the result of his previous interference in the old world line and the comparative experiment group brought about. But in a world where the history of cause and effect has been rearranged, there must be another explanation for this.

The entire process of the incident, including the cause, process, and result, should not be directly related to Mu Xiu, at least on the surface, it is indeed so.

So, what prompted Kurumo Tokizaki to transfer here?

“……”

“……”

There was a strange silence between the two, Kurumi Shizaki didn't speak, and Mu Xiu didn't urge.

"Looks like you know it's not a joke."

The elf girl lowered her eyes, and after a long while, she finally sighed and looked at the young man opposite—

"But although it has been basically confirmed that you are indeed that person, can you first prove your identity before I explain it?"

Wait, what's that saying? Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows, this seemed to be a little different from what he expected, what does it mean that he is that person?

He originally thought that the other party didn't know him, so he didn't come for himself, but now it seems that this is not the case?

And he was keenly aware of a certain change, that is, the other party's mood seemed to be more strange now.

It seems that after asking those words bluntly, Kurumi Tokizaki finally determined something, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Then she seemed to think of some other possibility, and she became wary again.

However, Mu Xiu was just silent, and asked directly and neatly: "How to prove it?" Do I need to show my student ID card or resident certificate, or do I need to ask the relevant authorities to issue a letter of guarantee? ”

"How do you prove it? It should be easy! For example, if you show your strength or something, this is the most intuitive information that can be judged, isn't it......"

Shizaki Kurumi tilted his head slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, as for the way the other party said, she directly and selectively ignored it. Just kidding, what can a student ID card and a resident pass be used for this kind of thing?

Could it be that as long as a demon has a household registration certificate, he can enjoy the welfare and social security of human society as a matter of course?!

"Hmm——!!"

Then, in the next moment, her eyes completely changed, and even the soft and beautiful voice and the way she spoke that sounded a little careless came to an abrupt end without warning.

Because Mu Xiu glanced at her lightly, his eyes were flat and indifferent without any emotion.

But just such a simple action brings a terrifying pressure as if even thinking has been stagnant and frozen. This made Shizaki Kurumi sweat all over his body, and he couldn't move at all.

She didn't even dare to take a step back, she could only freeze there completely.

After a while, it was a short time of less than half a minute, and it seemed like the length of a whole century past. Mu Xiucai sighed and looked away.

At this time, the girl seemed to have finally broken free from the shackles, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was also at this moment that Kurumi Tokizaki felt very clearly that the boy in front of him, who seemed to be ordinary on the surface and didn't have any special abilities, might really be unimaginably powerful-

Those people were right, and his power might be comparable to that of a true god.

"Now, it should prove it, right?" Mu Xiu asked lightly.

“……”

“……”

"Really...... It's surprising, but it looks like I've made the right choice. The girl made a distressed sound, then slowly raised her head and smiled rather cutely.

"That's right, you've got it right, go ahead."

Mu Xiu was completely unmoved, just quietly waiting for the following.

"Well, actually, I- that's why I'm here for you." Tokizaki Kurumi lowered his eyes as if he was a little shy, and turned his face away, posing as a pretending coquettishness.

“……”

“……”

"I also believe this, but can you say it more clearly, at least don't use such ambiguous and vague words."

Mu Xiu sighed again, and then, as if sensing something, looked up in a certain direction in the distance.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

The girl bowed her head and apologized to Mu Xiu quite simply, but so simply it seemed that she had no sincerity.

"So, let's put it another way, classmate Mu Xiu...... Well, can I call you that? ”

"Of course it's for the best." The boy nodded slightly, thinking that this was indeed the best.

"Oops......"

However, the black-haired girl first showed a look of surprise at his same straightforward behavior—but soon a smile bloomed again, and the smile was somewhat strange.

"First of all, Mr. Mu Xiu, you know what an 'elf' is, right?"

"Yes." Mu Xiu naturally answered without hesitation. "Whether it's the origin of concepts in Germanic mythology, or the ELF that appears in many fantasy works and RPGs, or the life form that exists like you, I know it all."

“……”

“……”

"Then Mu Xiu, you are really well-read and strong......"

Kurumi Tokizaki's smile stiffened slightly, and then he bit his teeth lightly, "But what I'm going to talk about now is about the concept of our existence, since you know the elves, then do you know how the elves appeared?" ”

"Is that the reason for the birth of the elves......?"

Mu Xiu didn't respond directly, he just looked at the girl's face with bright eyes for a few moments before nodding in a barely visible way.

"That's right, even if you don't know......"

The black-haired girl lowered her shoulders as if relieved, as if she were immersed in her own world, and then went on to talk to herself.

But in the next moment, she seemed to react abruptly, and her eyes widened suddenly—

"Wait, wait! You just said that you know how elves are born?! Not in the sense of the negative? ”

There was a somewhat unusual silence.

"I think...... I should know that, but your performance has made me a little unconfident from just now. Mu Xiu looked at the other party who was obviously excited, and also showed a strange expression that he had never seen before.

To be honest, he couldn't understand what had changed in this world at all!

The boy looked at the black-haired girl with pearl-white skin in front of him and opened her mouth wide in surprise, and then showed a cute cramped expression, but for no reason he felt that he was tired.

Phew-forget it, after all, my memory has not been modified, and it is still stuck in the previous week, and it is actually normal for me to feel that something is wrong.

He looked around at the empty campus, and then walked straight in the direction of a vending machine.

There is a three-way road near the edge of the playground that connects the Elementary, Middle and High Schools. There is also a pick-up and drop-off stop for the on-campus streetcar nearby, so there are convenience stores and vending machines.

"Hey, wait, where are you going? …… Mu Xiu? ”

Kurumi Tokizaki seemed to be completely shocked and stunned, but she quickly reacted and saw that the other party had turned and walked away. The girl suddenly lifted her skirt in a panic and trotted up, trying to catch up.

"So, why did you suddenly turn around and leave...... What's the problem? If it's my fault, I can apologize. ”

Half a minute later, perhaps because she had caught up with Mu Xiu in one breath, the elegant and well-bred elf girl had her shoulders up and down, her body leaning on the shell of a vending machine.

- Her physical strength seems to be very weak, at least on the surface, it doesn't seem to be much better than a certain sister control prince with zero physical strength.

"No, it's none of your business, you don't need to apologize."

Mu Xiu next to him stretched out his hand and pressed the button on the machine, while he squinted his eyes angrily and complained.

"I just want to cool off with some high-concentration helium-3, do you want one?"

"Helium...... Helium-3? Wait, can you cool down by drinking that stuff? ”

"Yes—the mind is calm and naturally cool."

Mu Xiu had already restrained his emotions, he said concisely and lightly, casually handed a pot of iced coffee to the other party next to him, and then turned around and looked at the girl opposite for a moment.

“……”

“……”

The black-haired girl's breath seemed to be finally out of breath, she raised her head but met the young man's eyes, and suddenly became a little nervous, and couldn't help but beat faster, subconsciously waiting for the next words.

Mu Xiu turned his head and said softly, "Have you ever seen someone else's corpse?" I didn't notice that as long as the heart stopped, the person quickly became cold...... So, there's a scientific basis for that. ”

"What's that subtle explanation? Isn't it supposed to be straight to the point! ”

Shizaki Kurumi, who was looking forward to it, suddenly stumbled and almost fell.

"I want to get down to business, but you can't remember anything, what can I do?" Mu Xiu said flatly, "When you remember, let's talk about it." ”

Kurumi Tokizaki frowned slightly, but quieted down.

She was sure that she was meeting each other for the first time today, and she had never met each other before, and she had not made an impression.

But the other party is conclusive, and judging from the level he shows, there is no need to lie to himself.

Could it be that I really knew him before?
