Yes, I didn't skip the narrative, because it's really just a very ordinary house, and there's nothing out of the ordinary. Lancelot had thought that there would be some hidden mystery in this house, but nothing happened until he went to bed.
There are seven or eight rooms in this house, so one room for one person is completely sufficient. But the strange thing is that, according to Yukino, they haven't been back here for at least ten years or so, but why are they still so clean? Could it be that Naki has come back to clean up? I have to say, the possibility is quite high...... Or is it someone else who has been here? After all, it's so clean, as if it's just been cleaned, and you don't believe it if no one has cleaned it up.
The room is very simple, just one bed, nothing else, yes, only one bed. The room was small, the bed was small, and there was a window from which you could see the mountain peaks in the distance. Originally, the house was located in the corner of the village, and there was nothing behind it except for a few small houses that I don't know if there were any inhabitants.
"......" lay on the bed, Lancelot did not feel tired, but sat up from the bed and looked out the window. Hmm, there doesn't seem to be anything weird about this village so far, isn't it really that I'm really thinking too much? Actually, Naki is really just just taking Yukino back to his hometown to see?
ā...... No, there must be something wrong......" Thinking so, Lancelot sat up from the bed and gently pushed the door open. It's past one o'clock in the morning, and no one should wake up at such a late hour. Therefore, he didn't choose to jump directly from here, after all, it was still a bit high, but went straight out through the main gate.
Outside the house, Lancelot looked at the sky and felt the breath around him. He now regretted seeing the journal a little, and he wouldn't have been so suspicious if it hadn't been for it. Yukino's abrupt change in diary style is definitely not accidental, but has external factors, plus her amnesia, which shows that Naki wants to hide something, at least want to hide something from her......
"Huh?"
A faint light drew Lancelot's gaze. Although the light is very faint, in such a dark sky, as long as it is not a bad eye, the faint light is easy to be noticed. After taking a closer look, he realized that the other party turned out to be Xiao ...... No, it's Tamamo!
At this time, Tamamo didn't know what he was doing, and his body was shrouded in a faint light, and it spread gently to the outside in a circle. Lancelot stood outside, not knowing whether to disturb her or not, it seemed that she was probing something, and there must have been some results! At least, Lancelot looked at Tamamo's face a little unpleasantly.
"Boy?" but Tamamo had already spotted Lancelot in advance, and although he was still in the aura, he said softly, "What are you doing here?"
"What's the matter, you're talking like I can't come out......"
"No, I'm just curious what you're doing here, I can't sleep?"
"Well, it's all because of that bastard's diary that I couldn't sleep peacefully because I kept thinking about the contents......" Lancelot sighed, clutching the diary in his hand.
"Why did you bring it out?" Tamamo clearly referred to the diary.
"I don't know, I always feel like it's not safe to put it there. Do you think there's a ghost here, too?"
"No, I'm not like you, you think that because of the diary, right? But I've thought it's a little weird since I came to this village, so I've come out to investigate. ā
"And what did you find?"
"A lot...... Lots ......"
āļ¼ā
"This village is covered by the barrier, and everything you see now is a scene that the barrier has deliberately shaped. That's what I was thinking about before. ā
"Isn't what you're looking for real......" Although Lancelot couldn't see the flaw, he could instinctively sense that something was wrong. And now Tamamo's words confirm this.
"Want to see the scene behind the enchantment?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense, of course you want to see it. ā
"So. With that, Tamamo stretched out a hand and drew a few strokes in the air, and then a pale golden aura appeared in front of Lancelot, "Come in, with my ability, I can't completely smash the enchantment, even if I do this, I will be instantly discovered by the enchantment constructor, the danger is too great." ā
......After a moment's hesitation, Lancelot stepped into the aura. When you look out again......
"No, it's too dark to see anything. Then Lancelot could only say that. He can't be blamed for this, after all, it's really too dark. It's not that you can't see anything, it's just that it's so dark that it looks the same as before.
"Can't you see...... After thinking for a moment, Tamamo rubbed her fingers slightly, and a bright light appeared in her hand, and then flew forward.
"Look. ā
Looking forward along this ball of light, after a moment, Lancelot was stunned: "This ...... It's ......"
It's no wonder why Lancelot was so surprised, because what he was presented with was a collapsed house. No, it's not just this one, but almost all the houses in the field of vision, which have been completely abandoned. It can be said that the village in Lancelot's eyes is completely a dead city. The difference was so great that he didn't even react for a moment.
"It's ...... What's going on?"
"What do you say? This is what the village really looks like now, and there is no one living in it anymore. I can see it better than you do, not only is there no one living in it, but the houses here are basically collapsed, and they are overgrown with weeds due to years of desertion. If my judgment is correct, no one has been here for at least a decade or so, which coincides with the time when those people left for Chino. ā
"......" Thinking of the contents of the diary, Lancelot seemed to understand something, "You mean that if the diary is real, then it means that this place was attacked by the monster written above, which is why it became what it is now?"
"That's supposed to be it, but what I can't understand is why it's being hidden from us, if it's just to hide it from Yukino. So, this matter should have something to do with you, a teenager. ā
"Me?"
"Yes, but I don't know what's going on...... The village...... There are still many mysteries......"
