Cat Boss Restaurant, slightly lively and noisy ground floor at lunchtime.

"Huh?"

Antanas stood by the wall, looking at the disappeared cat in his hand in confusion, and also turned around.

I saw nothing abnormal.

As far as the eye could see, the three people sitting on the far side of the window were all facing away from her normally.

Antanas touched his head, and finally returned to his busy work again because of Cinola's reminder.

Pranai took an early leave of absence today, so there was a waiter in Antanas and a front desk in Sinola, who occasionally had to act as a waiter.

At this moment, in front of the bar table by the window, the three of them all looked at the table without saying a word, and sweat began to break out on their foreheads.

Fortunately, the three of them came back to their senses in a hurry, and Antanas did not notice the anomaly.

“……”

Huberian kept her head down, even though she could control her expression with her acting skills, she couldn't keep her cheeks from turning crimson.

She even wanted to run away in stealth now.

But where can they flee to?

If what Antanas says is true, you might see that painting outside, too!

The scene that made her want to die, if it was only seen by the Wilford family, it would actually be barely forgotten over time.

But now there's a picture hanging in the Catboss restaurant.

It seemed to remind her of the strange things the three of them had done that day.

The three of them became unusually tacit at this point, and they were afraid that Antanas would notice the abnormality, so they stubbornly pretended not to think about the painting.

Soon, it was confirmed that Antanas had entered the back kitchen, and just as Tata was about to get up to take the painting down, he was held by Huberian again.

They exchanged glances with embarrassment.

Talia instantly understood Hubertion's eyes.

So Talia sat down again.

She looked at Lanchi, who picked up the glass and nodded lightly.

They all decided to pretend they didn't find the painting.

Since there is no hopelessness, it is better to make a mistake.

As long as no acquaintances find out that the painting is the three of them, then they will not die!

Fortunately, Pranay is not here today.

Otherwise, with Planai's vision and wisdom, it is likely that he could see something from the reaction of the three of them just now.

It made them all breathe a sigh of relief.

The three of them exchanged glances at the end, and at this time they were united, as if their fates were all linked, and decided to bring this matter to the tombstone together, and never let anyone find out!

“……”

But it didn't take long for the three of them to become awkward again, and none of them knew what to say.

They never felt like they were in jail at Boss Cat's restaurant.

“…… Tata, tomorrow Huber and I will go to the Shadow World, and we may not see you for a while. ”

Ranch finally spoke.

"Oh, oh."

Talia replied absentmindedly.

She should have felt a little lost for the two of them to travel again, but at the moment she was only glad from the bottom of her heart that they could give each other some time and some space.

With the three of them staying together every day, Talia felt that the three of them would have a problem with their psychological condition.

Next.

Today's noon meal process ended quickly-

The cat boss quietly brought lunch, and they ate it quietly, and they didn't say anything more to each other.

The three of them sat in silence again for a moment.

"Well, I'll go back to school, Huberian, see you tomorrow, Tata, and the next time we see each other will probably be at least a week or two."

Ranch said goodbye.

"I'll look for you at school tomorrow."

Huber Ann nodded.

"Hmm."

Talia bowed.

Then she fell silent for a long time.

Just as Ranch pushed the high chair back under the bar table, ready to leave.

As he walked past Talya.

"Come on."

Talia muttered to herself.

“……”

Ranch looked back at Talia in surprise.

"Tata, are you cheering me on?"

Lanch asked, pointing to himself.

He had never been treated like this, or he didn't expect Talia to look more and more like a gentle woman.

"I misheard."

Taria's eyelids suddenly collapsed, and she said coldly.

She was annoyed when Lanch spoke, or that he had a talking face.

You shouldn't have talked to this person too much.

"Thank you, Tata, for my birthday when I come back!"

Ranch waved cheerfully, said goodbye to them, and walked out the door of Boss Cat's restaurant.

The sound of wind chimes echoed, and then the first floor of Boss Cat's restaurant fell into the white noise of lunch again.

Talia stared at the clean plate, and saw that the corners of her mouth were unconsciously curved.

"Wait......"

She hesitated suddenly.

If Ranch knew her birthday, would he know her age too?

After thinking about it, Talia shook her head.

Even if Ranch was always thinking about something damn in his head, he shouldn't be able to do too much.

“……”

Huberian didn't dare to speak.

She had the feeling that Ranch would buy eight hundred candles that day.

She's already thinking ahead of time how to rescue Ranchi.

……

Following.

The sky is a bright blue with the clarity of summer.

The campus of Ecarita College has awakened, full of energy and hustle and bustle, and students come together in twos and threes to talk and laugh.

Ranch and Hubertarian walked the campus road in good spirits after a hearty breakfast.

Their voices echoed in the air, intertwined with the chirping of birds and the rustle of leaves.

"This time, let's rattle and kill meow."

The three of them went to the Magic Workshop early in the morning to get a special approval letter for Lanqi's rank and Boss Cat's logistics magician challenger license, and gave Boss Cat a team card for their civilized role model team.

"Don't worry, boss cat, I will help you break through to the eighth order, you must become the pride of the cats."

"Meow haha, I'll swell meow!"

Huberian listened to the cat boss's laughter and thought that he might not have understood the weight of fate.

But why not.

Knowing that with Lanqi, her identity is getting farther and farther away from her, and she has also decided to accompany him all the time, no matter whether the future is dangerous or stable.

In the early summer of mid-June, just after 8 a.m., a warm breeze was blowing on the school's grass.

The two of them and a cat soon walked to the heart of the most central part of the Academy of Ichrita—

Even in the morning at the end of the semester, the highest level of enchantment spells still blocked the Rubik's Cube-shaped dark blue iron wall where the Void Gate was located, and it was full of a sense of isolation from the ground, and the members of the Palace Knights on duty were waiting to patrol the surroundings.

They went to the first security checkpoint at the entrance of the building, passed through the only main entrance with their registered challenger licenses, and then went through another security check.

"If we wait to enter the sixth-order shadow world, then nothing will happen, but if it is really the seventh-order, Dean Loren may suffer new doubts, and even the rumors of Senior Sister Asina will be overshadowed."

Ranch whispered in the hallway, echoing in the empty passageway,

"But this is also a diversion strategy, those who want to impeach Loren will no longer talk about Sister Asuna, I believe that Dean Loren would rather be bound to me than involve the innocent Sister Asuna, so let me help Dean Loren and Sister Athena."

“……”

Huber Ann felt that Dean Loren might not want to.

A little Lanch, when he maximizes his attraction, all enemies will lose their minds and go crazy to attack him.

And now, this attraction can sometimes be shared by Loren at critical junctures.

The shadows of the two men and a cat stretched out in the silent aisle until they finally stepped into the depths of the building that led to the shadow world.

On the high platform of the distant square, the door connecting the shadow world still has a deep dark purple starlight flowing on the mirror.

"Boss Cat, have you tied up the team card of our civilized model team?"

Lanchi looked at the last checkgate and workbench in front of him, then at the empty hall at the end of the semester morning, and asked the cat boss.

All you need to do is register your Challenger License here, and let the staff of the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association check the wearing status of the [Shadow World Record Program], and then you can go to the Void Gate in front of you for challenge matching.

If you still want to use the [Shadow World Synergy] to challenge your team, you can add one more step to register your team's information.

"Brought meow."

Boss Cat doesn't know what to say whenever he recalls that their team is called the Civilized Role Model Squad.

What kind of Templar villain's dinner, this group of guys has taken down the organs of other people's blood clans at every turn, what is the role model!

But thinking about it, he can also be taken through the magical super difficult and dangerous realm of the shadow world, and the cat boss feels excited and excited.

Ranch nodded.

The two of them then handed their licenses and tool magic cards to the personnel at the checkpoint workbench and waited for the staff to complete the registration process for them.

"Can make ......"

The young female staff member looked at the little black cat curiously.

At first, she wanted the challenger to cancel the change spell and register the challenge in its original form.

After seeing the cat boss's documents, he was completely stunned.

I didn't expect that the cat was the main body, and it was as high as the seventh order.

She had worked for so many years, and she had never seen a seventh-order cat.

"No problem, when you come out, read the [Shadow World Record Program] to me again, and you can get your challenger license back."

The staff smiled and handed them back the tool magic cards of the two and one cat, and the floodgates in front of them opened.

Her eyes were still on the cat boss, and she seemed to want to pet the seventh-order cat.

But at this time, the cat boss can't lend it.

The two of them thanked each other, retrieved their respective tool magic cards, and walked straight in the direction of the Void Gate.

The distance of about 100 steps, chatting and chatting, walked through.

The Void Gate still resembles a bottomless black hole, just standing not far from it, you can feel an invisible pull, as if all living beings who come close will be sucked into this endless unknown world.

"Huberian, boss cat, is about to challenge the Shadow World."

Ranch smiled and said to Hubertarian and Boss Cat.

"Ready."

Huberian nodded, now she was a journeyman.

"Meow, no problem!"

Although the cat boss was visibly nervous, he swallowed his saliva and bravely straightened up.

As he spoke, Ranch walked through the void as if through the water.

This was followed by a moment of utter darkness that was unconscious, unable to see anything, not even the sound of a heartbeat.

Countless gears began to spin and stagger, creating a roar that echoed through the pitch-black space.

[The blood moon is bad, the new node "Firefly Shimmer", and the historical projection has been solved. 】
