Where there are people, there are circles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because it was not yet class time, the students in the classroom gathered in groups according to their own circles and chatted about topics of interest to each other.

"Ahh

"Big husband, cute big."

"yes, that's nice. Our side is super miserable, and one of Suzu's little hands has been bitten off, super heartbroken. ”

"Treatment is important."

"Of course I know that treatment is important, but we don't have a doctor on the team."

"Cultivate."

"Even if you say that, I don't know what to do. If only mercy were our captain. ”

"You've got a team."

People who don't know the truth will probably think that it is either online game poisoning or the attack of secondary disease.

But for the two girls who spoke, it was something that really happened to them.

Mai Sawaguchi was lazily lying on the desk, tilting her head sideways and chatting with the squad leader Sky Temple who was next to her.

Unlike the two "protagonist teams" that are always unaware of the existence of other teams, the "supporting teams" are aware of the existence of other teams. However, only the third team of Sky Temple Rei and the fourth team of Mai Sawaguchi knew each other, and this was something that Mai Sawaguchi only knew about when she accidentally saw the golden peony coat of arms printed on the waist of the squad leader during a physical education class.

But no matter what, it's always good to have an extra person to share with when you could only be more intimate with your teammates.

And the noble-born (as opposed to Mai) and capable class leader can always point out some details that she doesn't usually notice, which is a great help for Mai, who is just leading the team with enthusiasm.

But if only she was willing to say two more words when she spoke, is this what her brother often says about the mouthless character?

Unbeknownst to him, this friend from a different team in the same class was slandering her, so he took out his textbook from his schoolbag and began to preview.

He is worthy of being the top student in his grade.

Mai couldn't help but admire. After such a magical experience, it is really rare to be able to prepare for homework without moving rain or shine. Most of the companions she knew had wasted most of their schoolwork, after all, they had to go to a surreal battle every other night, and they didn't have the extra energy to cope with their homework.

Suddenly, Mai, who was sharp-eyed, found a light pink strip in her schoolbag, and immediately covered her mouth, lowered her voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Hey, Ren, why did you bring [Sakurasan] to school?" ”

Of course, she knew that Sakurasan was a merciful love knife, but this was a real knife, in case it was seen by the teacher......

"Uneasy."

Compared to Mai's nervousness, mercy only used two words to explain.

"Uneasy?" Mai blinked, I don't know why.

"Uneasy."

What is the explanation for this...... Mai couldn't cry or laugh, could it be that she was still afraid of being bullied by bad teenagers on the road.

Even in the past, it was not a problem for Ren to clean up a few hooligans in the eighth and sixth stages of Aikido, but now after the strengthening and training of the black ball room, if there is anything that makes Ren need to carry a knife with him to guard against it, then most of the people in this classroom can only die.

For Mai's incomprehension, Ren didn't explain further, because she herself didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

Maybe it's because of the black ball's hidden hints in a few words, maybe it's the self-consciousness of being a shrine maiden, maybe it's just her own crankiness.

But lately, this uneasy feeling has become more and more serious, as if it is a beast that has approached the side, and the air seems to be filled with the smell of death. The feeling was the same and more severe than the feeling of pressure that left her almost out of breath the night before her parents' car accident five years ago. It's like, completely caught in a world surrounded by death......

Something is definitely wrong with this world.

Just in case, she took [Sakurasan] with her, this small knife with a length of only 40cm can just fit into a schoolbag, and it is extremely sharp. If you can't carry a bow and arrows with you anymore, if something really happens, [Sakurasan] will definitely help.

"It can't be because of what the black ball said."

Rei didn't continue to explain her uneasiness, and Mai became more concerned.

She remembered that after each mission, when Blackball was rating them, some strange words would occasionally appear: "Good luck, I hope this luck will help you survive the crisis in the future." "Will you survive?" In the coming wave...... "Oh, I can already see what happens to you, dying in the world of mutation in the last act. And so on.

There can't really be any danger coming, right?

Mai is uncertain, although the world seems to be peaceful, but who knows?

Wasn't she unable to imagine her current life before she entered the Black Ball Room?

"Mai!"

At this time, a small figure jumped into Mai's arms from entering the classroom.

"Suzuo? Be careful! ”

was almost thrown to the ground, Mai hurriedly held the table and held the girl in her arms steady.

"But it's ......"

The girl's tears were in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry. Mai quickly touched her head and soothed the little girl.

"Alright, alright. Isn't it okay now? So don't cry anymore. ”

The girl's name is Suzu Kawamura, and she is a small and delicate daredevil, who has just transferred to their class this year. At the same time, he is also a teammate in the black ball room with Mai.,In yesterday's mission, he was bitten off by a giant wolf because he was too aggressive.。 Yesterday, because I was teleported away directly after the mission, I didn't come to her until I went to school today.

But the appearance of the little girl with pear blossoms in the rain is really delicious, and people can't help but want to play with it in their arms...... Oh no, it's love...... It's not right, it should be cherished.

"Mai, there won't be any problems with people's hands, right?"

Suzu Kawamura kept rubbing Mai while gesturing to Mai to see where she was bitten off yesterday.

Holding the girl's doll while her petite and soft body, Mai felt as if something was about to flow out of her nostrils.

"It's okay with your hands."

The tone was so cold that there were almost no ups and downs, and it was natural to speak in the Sky Temple.

"The room treatment is strong."

"Who wants you to say it?" Suzu Kawamura immediately grimaced, and then continued to rub Mai's chest.

"Suzuo, you can't be so rude."

Knocked on the melon seeds of Kawamura Suzuo's little brain with a hand knife, Mai couldn't help sighing, she has been worried about this little girl's social problems for a while, not only her classmates, but also the rest of the black ball team is not kind at all. Even she herself suffered a lot when she first came into contact with this little girl.

Not only is he afraid of life, but he also has an extremely unfriendly attitude towards people.

If you continue like this, you will be ostracized by others.

Although no one said it directly, Mai could feel that the other teammates on the same team didn't have a good sense of Suzu Kawamura. Without the support of her teammates, and Suzu Kawamura is only reckless, if there is any danger and she is not around, no one may be willing to risk rescuing her.

Mai became even more worried about Rei's inexplicable uneasiness and the black ball's constant hints of an impending crisis.

If you think about it, it wouldn't be strange if there was a catastrophe, after all, the fact that they were chosen to be in the Black Ball Room was strange in itself. Mai remembered the comic books she had seen in her brother before, and found that there were countless similar plots, such as the boy and girl who were specially selected to defend the earth in response to the alien invasion.

If something big happens, what will it be? Will she be able to protect the people she says she cherishes like the protagonist of the comic? What role does the black ball and the "black hand" behind it play in this? What is the significance of these chosen ones?

(Really, it made me nervous, too.) ）

Mai stroked the little head of the girl in her arms, and did not choose to say her troubles. It's just that she secretly decided in her heart that no matter what happened, she would definitely protect the child in front of her.

At this time, a gust of wind blew outside the window, and the cherry blossoms rolled up all over the ground.

"The cherry blossoms are all in bloom."
