The world is stagnant, as if it were an illusion.

The dazzling sunlight of the early morning filled the entire field of vision.

Removing the left hand that was blocking in front of him, the faint ice blue rune on the back of his hand made Lin Xuan's heart tingle slightly.

Look ahead.

“…… City...... City? ”

I thought that I would never see these cold corpses again.

―――――― Split ――――――

An hour later.

With his hands off the keyboard, Lin Xuan fell into deep thought.

Here, it is not the earth - or not the earth where he used to live, the form of the country, the regional characteristics, and even the population distribution are extremely similar, but a single phenomenon directly confirms that he is not living in the world.

In this world, there is no existence named Lin Xuan.

Not even anything related to Lin Xuan-

(There's that kind of monster there, and there's no sign of me ever existing...... Parallel worlds? Or is it just a coincidence? ）

"Hello Didi, is there anything else you can help with?"

The navigation machine in front of him emitted a synthesized female voice, and Lin Xuan once again affirmed his conjecture that the earth does not have such technology.

"No need"

"Di Di - I wish you a nice time in XX Mall"

The current location is at the beginning of the city in front of a shopping building, in front of the navigation machine on the first floor.

Relying on an operating system similar to that on Earth, he successfully invaded a distant "home" location, but could not find a trace of his existence at all.

(So, the only clue next is the girl in the 'broken world'...... Look at the age should be about fifteen years old, middle school students, near the middle school)

Until then, Lin Xuan still has one more problem to solve.

"Mom, what's that?"

"Shhhhh......h

"Na, is that cosplay?"

"It looks like it, but I can't tell what the character is, huh?"

In any case, it was too strange for a man with a torn cloak, a long sword pinned to his waist, and a rune blade engraved on his back.

（…… Let's find a place to stay first)

Fortunately, Lin Xuan consciously prepared in the situation where he had just left the world of war queens and went to the elven world, although it was not a real crystal, but - it should be okay?

As a large shopping mall, it is natural that there will be places to sell women's decorations, which is also one of the reasons why Lin Xuan chose the first target here.

"Eh......" Seeing Lin Xuan's dress, the waiter was stunned, but he quickly reacted, "Is there anything that can help you?" ”

"Recycling here?"

"Yes, here we are—"

She placed the smallest elven crystal in her hand on the table in front of her.

Although it is the smallest, it is the same size as the largest counter underneath.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xuan walked out of the mall carrying a black bag.

Compared with getting the necessary funds for the active action, there is another problem that Lin Xuan pays more attention to.

(yen?) In addition to the same geographical location, even the currency is the same, and everything else is the same? ）

Unfortunately, because of the "system", all the languages are converted into languages that I can understand, and I can't hear them as they were.

In the world of War Princess, it's just that you can understand the meaning.

(In other words, is it evolving as my abilities increase?) If it had been at the level of perfection from the beginning, Larvis's changes would not have been so easily concealed...... ）

If you want to find a house in a modern city by the normal way, in addition to money, identity is also essential, but - that is the normal way.

At noon, through the "friendly introduction" of several gangsters who intended to rob, Lin Xuan found a temporary stronghold in a relatively remote corner.

From the outside, this ten-story building was no different from those in the middle of the city, but the half-abandoned buildings around it could provide the best hiding place and escape in the event of a surprise attack on Lin Xuan.

"Big, big brother, is it okay here?" The gangster with a blue nose and swollen face cautiously followed behind Lin Xuan and asked, in this kind of era, it is very difficult to kill a person without attracting anyone's attention......

After a moment's hesitation, "It's okay"

"This, this is the key to the tenth floor, if it's okay, I, I'll go first?"

“…… Let's go."

After handing over the key to Lin Xuan, the gangsters didn't even mention the rent, and ran away without looking back.

Looking at the departing figure, Lin Xuan let go of the hand that was in the night attack.

The stronghold is found, and the next step is to find someone......

―――――― Split ――――――

Flipping through the map I bought from the mall, three nearby locations were circled.

Private Biyang School Park, Quanguang Middle School, and Takihara Middle School.

From the experience of the previous two worlds, it seems that the mission occurrence point is generally near the place where it appears, so the farther ones can be temporarily excluded, leaving three.

Among them,The private Biyang School Park and Quanguang Middle School are junior and senior high schools combined.,Only see Takihara is a simple junior high school.,So。

The tip of the pen penetrated through the area where Takihara was located and sank deep into the hardwood tabletop.

(If they're still around, they can attack on three fronts...... ）

I want to take off the equipment on my body that I know is problematic at a glance, but what about the weapon?

It's impossible not to bring it, and who knows when there will be an encounter?

In the end, Lin Xuan still kept that weird outfit and went out, and it was better to be treated as a cosplay enthusiast than to be arrested as a criminal.

When I came to meet Takihara, it was already class time.

Standing at the top of the building opposite the school gate, standing in a hard-to-find spot, watching everyone who walked out.

Feel...... It's a little weird.

Since I came to this world, I have been slightly aware of it, and when I arrived at Takihara, this strangeness is even more intense - this world has an unrealistic abstraction.

“――！” The hostile gaze made Lin Xuan wake up, and his gaze shifted.

The girl with long black hair, delicate facial features, and a uniform that was the same as everyone else around her looked at Lin Xuan five hundred meters away.

A frown furrowed.

(Who is she?) ）

Although it was a little blurry in that twisted and broken world, it was impossible to be wrong with that short pink hair, and the person she was looking for was not her.

Because the location was a little delicate, the black-haired girl left before it caused a commotion, but looking at her eyes before leaving, Lin Xuan knew that it would not end so simply.

Putting aside the influence of the black-haired girl for the time being, Lin Xuan continued to search for the target - found it.

The girl with short pink hair, there are two people next to her, one with short blue hair, the other with long brown hair, and the three of them are walking out of the school gate talking and laughing.

They didn't notice Lin Xuan's gaze.
