Sensing that a foreign object had been mixed into the sound barrier, Yase pressed his favorite headphones to his ear.

Yase is an over-adaptable - a natural supernatural who doesn't rely on spells or magic. Yase, who has the ability to freely manipulate his voice, is not suitable for direct combat. But it has an extremely high availability for monitoring and intelligence gathering. It is precisely because of this ability that the work of searching suwaniruda was entrusted.

In the center of the island of the gods, on the roof of the Stone Gate called the Nexus. There was no one around Yase, and no one was talking to him, but Yase was taking advantage of the wind, desperately listening to all kinds of faint sounds.

"...... this footstep? What is that guy doing at school at this time? ”

A confused expression appeared on Yase's face, who was talking to herself. What Yase's ability perceives is the sound of shallow footsteps wandering around the school.

Around Caihai Academy, Yase laid a special sound barrier, which can be used to monitor the movements of almost everyone within a radius of several thousand meters, originally to monitor the enchantment of the "Fourth True Ancestor" Xiao Gucheng, but for some reason the shallots mixed in.

"W-not just the sound of shallots!? What, is this guy's heartbeat!? ”

Yase pressed the headphones and stood up.

The sound barrier captures sounds that are clearly not normal creatures. It seems to be the strange pulsation that a lot of hearts are connected, and the precision mechanical sound such as a mechanical clock. It's as if a mechanical puppet fused with a human body and an artificial life form is walking into the same school building as the shallot.

"I never expected that Angelette's puppet would be at this time...... Damn it! ”

Noticing the source of the strange sound, Yase gritted her teeth.

Suwaniruda is entering the Acai Academy, and there is a shallot, which is there for some reason. I can only think of the worst-case scenario. If the killer doll launches an attack, Ashalon, as an ordinary person, has no means to protect himself at all.

"Damn! Oh no, this distance is .......! ”

Yase gripped her mobile phone and groaned. From the central stone gate to the Caihai Academy, it will take a long time for the base tree to get there even if he is fully capable, and it will not be too late for the SAR garrison to be dispatched, and in the process of doing troublesome business procedures, the shallots will be killed.

In order to save her, she needs the help of someone who has the ability to reach the school faster than Yase and whose combat power is above that of the SAR Garrison.

Yase knows that there is only one person who has such an ability.

Xiao Ancient City

There is no time to hesitate. Yase took his friend's phone out of his phone and dialed it out.

……

"Ah.......h

Staring at the wordless artificial lifeform girl who had been standing, the shallots made a blank sound. With blue hair and light blue eyes, and a petite body in a maid outfit covered with frills, shallots know her face. It was met in a split second somewhere.

"You...... Recently, I attacked the Central Stone Gate Bar with the Annihilator Teacher of Rotalingia......"

"Definitely. Answered, the Beast Symbiosis Artificial Life Subject, whose name is 'Astarut'. ”

The blue-haired girl replied in a voice that lacked inducement.

The Annihilation Teacher from Rotalingkia launched an attack on the Central Stone Gate, which was a serious demonic crime that became a major topic of discussion around the world. In order to break the seal of the Central Stone Gate, Ostach used the Beast Symbiotic artificial lifeform Astarot.

"Why...... Ambush await me...... Won't it......"

Shallot asked in a timid voice. On the day of the attack, the shallots who were at the Pivot Gate were swept in and became victims, and also encountered Astarut during the battle. If you make a slight mistake, you will die on the spot.

Therefore, it would not be surprising if this artificial lifeform attacked the shallots again. For her, killing shallots is a breeze.

But in Astarout's eyes, there was neither hostility towards shallots nor killing intent.

Instead, she silently handed the contents of her right hand to shallots.

"Here you go."

"Huh?"

Shallot felt inexplicable, and Shallot took what was handed over. It's a familiar goggles.

"This is....... you mean, these are my goggles?"

"Answer, fell into the hallway."

Pointed out by the artificial life form girl, the shallots looked down at their bag. The zipper of the bag is still open, so I guess I forgot to close it when I put it in the locker. Later, while escaping Astarout's pursuit, the goggles fell out.

Astarut waited in front of the toilet in order to hand over the goggles to shallots.

"Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Looking at the weak and tired shallots, Astarut asked. Shallot smiled weakly and shook his head hastily.

"No problem, just a little relieved."

"Sorry for frightening you. The last attack on the Nexus Gate put you in danger. ”

Astarut said in a mechanical tone.

But shallots sat down in the hallway and shook their heads.

"Ah, okay, I see."

"Understood, yes?"

Astarut looked at the shallots strangely, and for the artificial lifeform girl, the shallots' reaction was really unexpected.

"You're just ordered to do it, and, moreover, it's Ostach...... The proposition of annihilating teachers is not incomprehensible. ”

"Thank you,**-"

"Blue feather, blue feather shallot. Why are you here, Astarout? ”

Freed from the extreme tension, Blue Feather began to doubt again. Astarut herself, who was the attacker of the central stone gate, was supposed to be under the strict control of the Artificial Island Management Commune, and she didn't understand why she was in the Caihai Academy.

"Part of the punishment for the sabotage activities of the past few days and the many crimes attached to them."

Skepticism would remain silent, but Astarut replied simply and briskly.

"Punishment? Is this maid outfit too? ”

"Definitely. Now I am under the observation and protection of Nangong Demon Attacker. ”

"Nangong Demon Attacker, is that Yue-chan?"

I see, shallots understood. As a national demon attacker, Nangong Nayue is perfect for Astarut's protector. If that's the case, then this dress makes sense.

"Again. At the same time, I am also performing the work of Nangong Instructor's night patrol agent (dai). ”

"Dai Li....... that's ......"

Anyway, as part of the work of the teaching staff, such a thing was imposed that month. For the faithful service of artificial beings, Astarut could not have been more suitable than a detailed search of the school. Seeing the shallots in the school building and chasing them is also part of the duty work.

"So, what was the murder weapon you were holding just now..."

"The murder weapon...... Is that to say, this is it? ”

Astarut said, gesturing to the luggage next to his feet. What looks like knives and lai rifles from a distance is actually just common gardening items.

"Shovel... And watering cans? ”

"The cultivation of flower beds is being carried out."

What, shallots felt weak in their limbs again. Mistaking Astarut for a murderous doll is due to his own arbitrariness. This is indeed too rude for Astarout. She's just quietly doing her job. and-

"Ah....... that letter...... Yes..."

Noticing the envelope clipped to Astarut's apron, Shallot couldn't help but cry out. A pink envelope that clearly resembles a love letter. It is enshrined at the "fence of legends".

"Presumed to be lost. It was caught in the fence of the substation, so it was recycled. ”

Astarut said calmly. Said as seen in the shallots.

"So what to do?"

"Because it says the recipient, it will be handed over to him."

"Eh, I see. Have you sent all the letters out by now? ”

Shallot asked, feeling slightly stunned. The truth of this "fence of legends" turned out to be that someone had been delivering letters to the recipients.

"Definitely. Everyday traffic passes through that road, so I did it. In the warehouse behind the swimming pool there are adjustment troughs for artificial lifeforms. ”

"Imai senior's scarf, too? ……”

"Definitely. There is this recipient in memory. ”

"Ahh This kind of thing...... I see. ”

Shallot couldn't help but chuckle.

The love letter that was inserted in the fence was delivered to the person who was supposed to receive it. And then the person who received the love letter started to have a relationship with the sender, and what a funny thing. This is the truth of "enshrined in the fence to get a confession from the other party", "the fence of legends". ”

Of course, the girls who write the letter may not always go well in the end, anyway, it is considered to be like a charm, and even if they don't get a reply, they don't need to be depressed. In short, Astarut played the role of love cupid in the urban legend "The Fence of Legends".

"I never thought that the truth of the 'Fence of Legends' would be like this,"

In front of Astarout, who was in a daze, the shallots kept smiling like that. Although this legend is behind this, the mood is indeed quite refreshing. Without any malice, Astarut has made so many people happy.

When I finally calmed down, I suddenly heard my phone ringing. It seems that a signal can be received around here.

"That's... Base Tree... Why is this time ......?"

After confirming the name on the phone screen, Shallot pressed the answer button. Unlike before, flying out of the phone was Kiki Yase's anxious voice.

"Shallot, it's okay."

"Ah, ah, it's okay. What's wrong, so flustered. ”

"I'll talk about it later, get out of there now!"

Without giving reasons, Yase said perfunctorily. The shallots couldn't help pouting,

"From there, from where. I'm in school right now. ”

"That's why I told you to run away-"

Yase commanded in a rough tone. Showing such feelings is indeed rare for him.

"You've heard the rumors of a murder doll, that guy is entering the school."

"Ah, the murder doll, I was about to tell you."

In stark contrast to the anxious childhood sweetheart,Light onion said in a clear tone。 Yase on the other side of the phone seemed to have nothing to say. (Markne)
