The rain stopped.

The sun is finally setting below the horizon.

On the roof of a building.

A girl dressed in a black and blood-colored gothic suit, with a long and short double ponytail, with bangs covering half of her left eye, and the pupil of her left eye was a golden clock, standing on the rooftop, looking at Tiangong City in the afterglow of the sunset.

The girl has delicate lips like cherry blossom petals. Her skin was as white and smooth as a pearl, and she stood there quietly, with a calm temperament like a well-educated lady.

Kurumi Tokizaki.

"How's the investigation going? Has that little sister ever reappeared? ”

With a soft smile on his face, Kurumi stretched his waist, and the gas exhaled from his mouth turned into white gas, dissolved in the air and dissipated.

On the roofs of high-rise buildings built on the corners of busy streets, there is no one else, but there is a considerable "shadow".

It's not night, it's not darkness - the whole roof is filled with the shadows of the mixed and intertwined mads.

It's dense, it's all crazy threes, a lot of crazy threes, a lot of them, really a lot......

Those, it's all the crazy three from the past time.

"-We, how's the investigation going?"

Kurumi asked the clones as he stroked his jaw.

Immediately, the mad three who stood in a row answered in turn.

"There's not been any movement, and there haven't been any elves lately."

"That one a few days ago seems to have been taken in by humans now."

"In addition, the elf who mysteriously disappeared before has never appeared......"

"In the place where it disappeared, there is a residual breath that does not belong to this world, nor does it belong to the original world of the elves."

"It's a different world."

"I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it!"

……

"That's ......"

Kurumi narrowed his eyes and sighed.

- In general. It's the same as I expected.

The Kurumi who are now gathered here are the spy Kurumi sent by Kurumi to various places.

For Kurumi, who has many enemies, intelligence is the lifeline.

"So, where is the second elf?"

Hearing Kurumi's words, all the clones looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

This is exactly what was expected.

- Kurumi closes his eyes in frustration.

Second Elf. As it is called, it is the second elf in this world to appear.,The only one who has the information of the primordial elf that Kurumi is looking for.。

According to the results of the doppelganger's investigation, it is known that the body is currently in the custody of the DEM Agency...... However, it is not known exactly in which building in which country.

"Well...... After all, it's the top secret on the DEM side, and I don't expect it to be found out so easily. Well, I'm going to ask you to continue your investigation. ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"

"Listen to me!"

"For, our sorrow!"

Said the old madmen.

Kurumi listened. Nodded silently.

"Ahhh......h Speaking of—"

At that moment, a clone suddenly made a voice as if it remembered something.

"What's wrong, me?"

"Eh, there's one thing I forgot to report. It's about another world! ”

"Another world?"

The doppelganger's words made Kurumi's eyebrows twitch a little.

The elf who mysteriously disappeared, based on the situation at the time and the various things left at the scene, was summoned to another world by some kind of power.

What kind of world is that?

Will that world accept such beings as elves?

Kurumi fell into deep thought.

"Information about another world. What is it? ”

"The organization of humanity, it seems to be called Ratatoskr. I seem to have an eyebrow for the investigation of the world. ”

"It's hard to figure out the specifics, but some information has leaked out."

"That world, it seems to be a world with a lot of powerful beings, such as elves, it's too ordinary there."

Kurumi's eyes suddenly lit up.

The elves are there, is it ordinary......

That's the case. You shouldn't be hunted down there, right?

"In that case, let's go and conquer that world!"

A middle two breathing voice suddenly sounded.

Kurumi was stunned.

Immediately, as if he wanted Kurumi to see the clone with his hand raised, the gathered clones separated to the left and right.

It's like a stage play.

“…… Ahh

After seeing the doppelganger's appearance, Kurumi's cheeks twitched.

It's true that the "Kuraz Three" standing there is indeed - but the dress is different from the other "Kuraz Three".

Didn't tie up the hair. As a hair accessory in place of wearing a rose-shaped design.

The costume is a drab design of women's dresses composed of black and white.

Most crucially, on the left eye, a medical eye mask was worn in order to cover the clock.

It was five years ago.,When I felt the need to cover my left eye.,Kurumi reappeared in the period when he tried to put on an eyepatch and accidentally fell into it.。

- At the time, I thought it was quite appropriate, but now I think about it with shame.

What a shame, so shame, so shame......

"Conquer that world and make it a world of elves!"

After speaking, the blindfold Sangao raised his hand high.

Then, the "crazy three" around showed the expressions of looking at idiots.

"Ah, I really deserved to be me at that time."

"How could you say such a stupid thing......"

"It's obviously a world where elves will look ordinary, and they still want to conquer something."

The "Crazy Three" unceremoniously began to complain about the blindfold three.

Blindfold Three suddenly showed a shocked expression, and the whole person lost color.

- It really lost its color, turned into a blurry shadow and disappeared.

"Ahh

"It's really me, and sure enough, even when I was in the second year of secondary school, I would have a sense of shame."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"

The "Crazy Three" began to talk to themselves again.

This weird picture of boasting about himself made the corners of the mouth twitch when the Kurumi body saw it.

◇

"In the end, why did I buy this by the gods?"

After the rain stopped, standing in front of the house, Shidao looked at the game box in his hand and frowned slightly.

"Forget it, since you've bought it, let's have a good time......"

After inserting the key into the door lock in the hallway, Shidao suddenly let out a "huh".

The door that had been locked before going out was now opened without hindrance.

"—Jeanri, is you finally home?"

Shido's expression stiffened slightly.

Gokawa Kotori, Shido's younger sister, attends a nearby middle school and is a thirteen-year-old second-year junior high school student.

At the same time, he is also the commander of Ratatoskr, an organization that advocates the use of peaceful means to de-empower.

In order to protect Shika and deal with the aftermath of this matter, this month, Kotori often went out early and returned late, and even the school directly took a month's long vacation.

"It's really ......"

Even if you're busy dealing with Shixiang's affairs, you can't turn a blind eye to things like you don't go to school for a month, and you always come home in the middle of the night.

Here, as a big brother, you have to read a few words from her.

"I'm back!"

Shido, who entered the house, took off his shoes and socks, which were soaked from the heavy rain, and rolled up his trousers, leaving sticky footprints on the floor.

From the corner of the hallway, the sound of a television came from the sound of a television.

【Is it in the living room?】

After putting down his bag and game box, Shido's toes turned in the direction of the bathroom

- Now that I am drenched, I can't talk properly at all, so it would be better to dry my body and change my clothes before going to the hall.

Shido opened the door to the locker room as usual.

And then—

You think there's a benefit?

Hey, no......

After taking a shower in a normal way, Shido returned to the living room.

There, Toka and Koto were sitting side by side on the couch.

"Ten, ten incense!?"

"Shidao!!"

As if she had seen a delicious dish, Toka threw herself into Shido's arms with a light in her eyes.

The huge force directly made Shidao's whole person roll to the ground.

"Ahhh......h

After finally getting down the Toka hanging on his body, Shido sat up from the ground and looked at Kotori on the sofa.

"Kotori, what's going on?"

"Hmph, can't you see it, stupid!"

Kotori glanced at Shido with contempt.

The headband on her head is black, which is the sister of the commander who has a black belly and spits on the poisonous tongue mode.

"From today onwards, Shika will be living in our house."

"Hey!??"

"Don't be too busy being surprised."

Jean sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, her calves wrapped in black stockings swaying, and she was biting on the Jumbo Jewel in her mouth.

"I have something to tell you about the recent investigation in Ratatoskr, which has something to do with elves."

"Something to do with elves? Are there new elves again? ”

"That's not it, it's about the elf who mysteriously disappeared when he was chased by AST a few days ago - I remember telling you that it was not a normal disappearance, at that moment, a very powerful mysterious power fluctuation appeared, and our analysis of it has already yielded preliminary results."

Shidao nodded.

He had heard his sister mention this matter. (To be continued......)
