"When the time comes, I'm going to have a big, big party, invite all the cuties who have had good memories with me, and eat this special royal wedding cake with your sweetheart. Cindy imagined the happy future to the fullest, almost forgetting that it was still in a dangerously chaotic world.

"Well, I'll call my buddies when the time comes. Ulysses replied casually as he felt the breath around him.

"Well, then, let's look forward to the best cake in the world, Ulysses. Cindy took a deep breath, and the two of them tensed together.

Here it comes!

In front of the cake, which is constantly spinning and advancing, a bridge appears, which is a bridge that connects to the distance in a regular form. On the top of the bridge, there are fragrant fruits.

pineapples, crystal pears, crown pears;

red apples, yellow apples, green apples;

purple grapes, red grapes, green grapes;

All of them are perfect varieties that exude a fresh fragrance and attractive color, and even from a distance of hundreds of meters, the fragrance makes you want to bite into it.

However, it was these seemingly delicious fruits, sensing the approach of Ulysses and Cindy, that automatically floated and began to shoot at a terrifying speed.

"Butterflies, birds, is there fruit behind the mask? It's really interesting, who came up with this. Cindy clasped her hands together, then held them up in the air, pointing together at the group of colorful fruits.

"Who knows, it could be a girl. Ulysses adjusted his breathing, and his body floated naturally.

It's no longer time to retain strength, and every second that passes, maybe the world will change even more. Although this may seem like a less dangerous world, who can guarantee that there is no real threat lurking in this dessert world.

He wouldn't forget the shock he felt when he fought the red shadow, and it was definitely not an opponent that Cindy and Kira could defeat alone.

"Whew!h

Behind Ulysses, Cindy summoned her array of weapons and opened fire on the fruit assemblage that had not yet been attacked in the distance. In the sound of gunsmoke, countless fruits that had not yet sensed the approach of the two were blasted into slag and scattered into the cream below, and soon melted away.

Although he doesn't have the absolute accuracy of a high-speed sword backed by the power of the Demon King, Cindy, who has a lot of ranged attack firepower, can achieve no less results than Ulysses, who chopps 100% of the incoming fruit.

Most of the long-range fruits were blasted off by Canti, while the rest were all crushed by Ulysses' high-speed cutting. The result of the perfect cooperation between the two is that these fruits that don't know what abilities they have evaporated from this world without even having a chance to get close to the two.

Under the high-speed dash of the two, none of the fruits could break through the defensive net of the two, and they were broken one after another. Soon, where the two passed, this strange unknown creature was no longer visible.

Strange, the attack power is not as strong as expected...... Unlike Cindy, who only bombs from a distance, Ulysses, who is responsible for disposing of all the fruit at close range, is aware of this fact.

These things look exactly like ordinary fruits, and their attack power is far less powerful than those unknown creatures they encountered not long ago. Not to mention the face of the upside-down world, even the crown butterflies I saw in the school at the beginning can't be compared.

It's not so much that they're attacking, it's more that they're instinctively drawn to them by the way they break into this world. Could it be that this is the same world of caged birds that represents Anne, a world where there is no danger?

With this question in mind, Ulysses and Cindy work together to clean up all the flying fruits, and then the two reach the end of this world together.

It was a small piece of normal ground that looked a little out of repair. This scenery that seems ordinary to the outside world is extremely precious in this world.

There was no road in front of the ground, only a closed door. Even Ulysses, who didn't have the ability to sense plants, could vaguely feel the familiar aura from the cracks in this door. ,

Ulysses...... Woo-goo...... It's too slow......" The voice of a girl who was always confused echoed in his head again, indicating that he was very, very close to a certain position.

"Ayu, can you hear me, tell me what the hell is going on. Ulysses anxiously asked about the person who might be the only one who knew the truth, he had so many things to ask her.

"It's almost unbearable...... Woo-hoo, come on......" Ayu's voice became choppy again, and soon disappeared again.

"Damn!" Ulysses slashed his sword at the door that could not be opened, but the structure of this door was obviously extraordinary, and even the Abyssal Judgment slashed only slightly to shake it.

The powerful rebound force paralyzed even Ulysses' wrists, a sensation that reminded him of the same feeling he felt when he fought the mysterious Silver Giant, and when the Abyssal Judgment slashed at that shield.

It was as if he had slashed not a door, but a wall, a wall of steel that could barely be broken through.

"I can't open it. Cindy also tried to attack, and the result was naturally exactly the same, even if she bombarded dozens of rounds in a row, the door showed no sign of opening.

"It's too hard, harder than jelly that's been frozen for a year. "Cindy stood far away from the door, summoning the largest array of weapons she could summon right now, and the center of the summoning was the door.

A zero-range full-bullet attack, this is the theoretical maximum output of Cindy, but after the deafening explosion and the smoke of gunpowder, the structure of the door has not changed in the slightest, and there is not even a trace of damage.

Ulysses flew into the sky as fast as he could, patrolling around the area, finding no suspicious structures or creatures.

Floating in mid-air, he forced himself to calm down and think about things related to the world.

A world full of desserts, ever-moving cakes, non-threatening fruits, the final door to the branch of Radiant Academy. What kind of results can be obtained by mixing these leads?

No, I can't find an answer, there's too little information. Ulysses opened his eyes and began to look more closely at the world.

From the surrounding bridges to the cake still spinning in the distance, Ulysses spares not a single detail, and then he finally finds the most unusual place in this world.

That's where the gate is, the only "ordinary" ground in this world.

At first glance, he didn't notice anything different, but when he looked at it again, Ulysses noticed that the ground was very wrong.

As with the initial impression, this is a piece of ground that has fallen into disrepair. On this ancient ground, not only are there no footprints, but there is not even a trace of people staying, and it seems that no one has stepped on this ground for a long, long time.

The scenery is completely out of place with the beautiful colors around it, as if in this fairytale world full of desserts, this is the only ugly spot and a portrayal of the real world.

However, this alone does not make Ulysses feel wrong. The reason why he paid so much attention to it was because its outline was exactly the same as one of his impressions.

The floor is in disrepair, because no one has been there for too long, and the irregular stains have formed...... No, it's not a natural stain, it's a stain that remains after being dyed in a certain color and then washed away.

It was a very grey color, but it was clearly not what it was. If it was before it was cleaned, if it had just been dyed this color, then the color he would see would be......

"Ulysses, why are you looking at the ground so seriously, are there flowers on this ground?" Cindy's voice rang out next to the door, and it sounded like she was cutting the damn door with something, making some strange grinding noises.

"It's not the flowers, it's that the ground is almost exactly the same as a place I know. Ulysses looked up, ready to tell Cindy the legend, the tragic story.

Then he saw it, and he saw the beautiful girl who was smiling next to the door.

Her expression was no different from usual, still the same confident and happy looks. Her beautiful face was accentuated by her tall figure, and two strands of blonde spiral hair swayed beside her shoulders, and everything looked the same as usual.

However, at some point, a sharp knife appeared in her hand, and she sliced her wrist with the knife with that smile.

A large amount of blood stained her luxurious body, making her look like she was wearing a red wedding dress. On his face, which had quickly turned pale due to excessive blood loss, was still smiling softly.

Then, countless streams of blood splattered from her sliced wrists, staining all the ground red, staining her hair and gown.

"It turned out that I was dreaming. These were Cindy's last words.

In the end, the eyes she looked at the world were not regret and sadness, but happiness and satisfaction, just like all the girls who died in this place and died in this blood in the distant past.

In the blood that spread out, the door that Ulysses had not been able to open no matter how much he attacked slowly opened.
