"It's been four years, Yuma. You haven't changed at all. ”

"Eh~ This is really hurtful. I think I'm getting more feminine. ”

"It's a bit like it used to be."

"I'm really embarrassed about just one thing. But you've changed a lot in the ancient city, and you're very handsome now. He's a big handsome guy. ”

"Maybe."

"Well, though I don't know what's going on? But the ancient city used to be an idiot. I'm not used to being smart now. ”

"Thank you for complaining." The ancient city said with black lines.

However, as Youma said, the original Xiao Gucheng is indeed a real idiot.

"That is, there was zero progress until five months ago."

"I want you to talk more!"

"Do you know the answer, the fifth grade of Gucheng Elementary School was ...... when I was in Linjian Elementary School?"

"Boring." The ancient city dismissed.

"What! Super want to know? Shallot's eyes sparkled.

"Say it, Yuse-chan." Yase also asked.

"Is it okay? I remember when someone was in the woods elementary, it seemed like also..."

"Wow! What are you going to say all of a sudden!? Hurriedly stood up, Youma blushed and glared at the ancient city.

"Treat others the way they do." Gucheng looked at Youma with a rare smile on his face, "This is the famous quote of Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty in China." ”

"I won't say it's always okay!"

"That's fine." The ancient city is still so calm.

In this case, if you want to have the upper hand, then you have to see who has the thicker skin.

……

I took the elevator on the 12th floor and went up to the higher observation deck.

When the elevator doors opened, you were greeted by a lobby full of glass floating in the air.

This is the observation hall at the highest point of the central stone gate in the middle of Hyunshin Island.

This is the highest spot on the island without any doubt.

"Wow, what a view!"

Running fearlessly on the glass-covered floor, Nagi let out a shrill cry of joy.

The doughnut-shaped observation hall is nearly 10 meters in diameter. Because the floor is slowly swirling, you can enjoy all the scenery in 360 degrees just by standing. That's the selling point here, too.

"It's the first time I've been to the Observatory. I've wanted to try it before. It's even higher than you think. Wow, commemorative coin vending machine (fan)! Keychains are also available! ”

"Why do I pay half of the price?"

In stark contrast to his younger sister, who is as active as a child, the ancient city, who paid half of the entrance fee for all the people, has a very gloomy expression.

"It's kind of scary. It always feels like it's floating in the sky. ”

Carefully checking the strength, Yukina stepped on the ground. The careful avoidance of the glass and the fact that you only walk around on the metal stand make you smile.

"Sorry, forgot you're afraid of heights."

Noticing that she would never take her hand off the armrest, Gucheng said.

For Yukina, who is not good at mechanics, it seems to be the impression that it is an unreasonable piece of iron flying in the air. I guess the impression of the rotary observation deck is similar.

However, she seemed to be gambling on the watchman's pride, and didn't want the ancient city to know that he was afraid.

"It's not like that. I'm just upset by the strength of the glass with so many people standing together, not absolutely scared. That's not true. ”

"Really."

casually take Yukina's stubbornness as the wind in his ears, the ancient city, come, and stretched out his hand to her. Yukina was a little confused, and then,

"Thank you."

As he spoke, he shook the ancient city's hand. After being brought to Natsune, who was standing by the wall, he seemed to feel a little more relieved, and the two of them began to look out through the binoculars set up there.

"It's okay."

I felt like a teacher leading elementary school students, and Guru watched them from the side, and then Yuma, who came over, poked him in the ribs.

"Very beautiful kid. Girlfriend of the ancient city? ”

"yes."

Looking at Yuma, who was smiling evilly, Gucheng nodded.

"It's a pretty good relationship."

"Yes." The words spoken have a vague feeling. The irony of fate was felt, and the ancient city exhaled self-deprecatingly.

Almost four years passed during the reunion with her. This period of time can be regarded as ups and downs. Nagisa suffered an accident and wandered between life and death, his parents divorced, and the ancient city himself became the fourth true ancestor, and he could no longer survive as a human being.

Even so, I can see someone I miss again, which can only be considered miraculously lucky.

However, now, he can't go back to his past life, because with the title of the Fourth True Ancestor, it is impossible for him to survive as an ordinary person.

"A lot has changed, ancient city." Yuma sighed, a little sadness in his tone.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

At this moment, the phone in the back pocket began to vibrate.

Leaving Yuma and taking out his phone, Gucheng looked at the name displayed on the LCD screen and frowned. It's an object of unpleasantness.

“…… Huangsaka? It's a rare time like this. I'm just busy right now. ”

Gucheng said this with a stiff face. Sayaka Kasaka is a demon attacker who belongs to the same Lion King organ as Yukina. The ancient city met her when there was a terrorist attack in Hyunshin City last month.

After that, somehow, she would call the ancient city frequently. It doesn't seem to be anything special.,Just want to ask about the recent situation of Yukina who doesn't have a mobile phone from the mouth of the ancient city.。 Saya Hua used to be Yukina's roommate, and now she dotes on her like an overprotective sister.

Anyway, this time it's Yukina's business, and the ancient city plans to deal with it casually, but the voice that came from the other side of the phone was not Saya Hua's unexpected character.

"Uh-hu-hu-hu, it's me."

"Huh?"

The ancient city, which was suddenly attacked, involuntarily raised its tone.

"La Freia? This number belongs to Sayaka, right?"

"Because this number is registered in the "Like" of Saya Hana's phone book, I tried to call it a little...... Ah, what are you doing, Sayaka?'

"-Hey, hey, Xiao Gucheng?"

On the other side of the line, there was the sound of a scramble for the phone, and because she was so anxious, Saya Hua's voice changed.

"Make no mistake, this phone has the function of making people who are registered in the "like" more unlucky. That's it!'

"Boring."

As an expert on curses and assassinations, Saya Hana really can't be considered a joke when he says this. However, the ancient city knew that this was simply impossible.

"As far as I know, La Fria is long past your return home. Why are you with Sayaka. ”

"That's what happened, but things have changed. We didn't get on the plane.'

"What's going on?"

As Ra Furia's bodyguard, Sayaka must be very familiar with this area, so she shouldn't get lost. Therefore, the ancient city judged that they were most likely in some kind of crisis.

"I don't know, but it's just a hassle."

Sayaka replied in a bitter voice.

"I'll just say what happened. We were going to take a special flight, but we got to the artificial island under construction."

"It's impossible, adding artificial islands and airports is the opposite direction."

"People don't even know what's going on!"

Sayaka shouted in an awkward voice.

"That's the way it is, anyway."

“…… What is the situation now? ”

"I don't know, it's like time and space have been distorted, as long as you pass through a door or entrance, you will be teleported to a different entrance and exit as if you were teleporting."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to take care of it, it's Natsune."

Haze Natsune is the daughter of the former king of Arutikia. Legally La Fria's aunt, but in fact she exists like her sister. The ancient city remembered this.

"Ye Se's words, it's right here for me now."

Looking at Xia Yin, who was looking into the ground in great surprise, the ancient city told them.

What are you talking about, Saya Hua let out a sharp roar.

"Why is she with you?" Could it be that you want to make ......a move on that kid this time!'"

"I'm too lazy to start. Yukina is also available, don't worry! “

"What do you mean, show off!? It's a show-off, right!? I won't feel envious!"

snatched the phone from Saya Hana, who was so excited that her words became fragmented, that Wang Nu continued.

"I can't get in touch with the knights of Arutikia who came to protect Natsune. I don't think this change has anything to do with her, but could you please pay a little attention to her safety?"

"I see."

La Frya laughed and laughed in a joking tone.

"Please. In return, you are allowed to suck the child's one for a while."

"Of course it's impossible!"

After leaving Sayaka screaming sadly, the phone hung up.

……

"Is it true...... I understand. Go back right away. ”

Saying with a sinister expression that he usually didn't have, Yase hung up the phone rudely.

"Yase, what's wrong?"

"Ahh A little personal, I'll go first. ”

Although Yase immediately changed back to his usual light tone, the deep marks carved between his eyebrows did not disappear. It seems that something quite tricky must have happened.

"Well, almost. Bye. ”

I can't stand it, shallots murmured.

"Huh......?"

Just after that, feeling the vibration of the phone in the small bag, the shallots tilted their heads. That phone is a personal work prop for shallots. After starting through behind-the-scenes channels, after all kinds of transformations, no one should know the number of that mobile phone.

"-Sister, I'm sorry to disturb you on your day off."

"What the hell, Mogu. If you have something, can you wait and talk about it? ”

Shallot unhappily replied to the artificial intelligence as a partner. Mogu Crooked is the true body of the legendary bereaved god who is attached to Hyun God Island, the five supercomputers that control all the urban functions of Hyun God Island. He prides himself on the world's highest level of computing power, but at the same time has a strong personality that is judged to be difficult to control. But somehow it goes well with shallots.

The AI deliberately uses this inefficient voice communication to communicate, that is, the communication is subject to multiple cipher transformations.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have that kind of room here. The situation is urgent. The third level of the SAR defense posture has been activated.'"

"Huh? What do you mean? Is there a large-scale terrorist attack!? ”

Shallot asked back in surprise. Although it was expected that something had gone wrong, Level 3 was really unexpected. That's in the "Demon Special Zone" to represent the scale of dangerous conditions.、There are seven levels of rank from the top to the third place.。 It means that there is a huge obstacle to Hyun God City's urban skills, and most people's lives are in danger.
