"I think your taste in naming is a notch like that of a low-end light novel writer." Li Wu commented, "Yuichi Uehara, right? ”

"Exactly down there."

The man who spoke was about thirty-four years old, dressed in a black tiara and turquoise hunting clothes, and his face was not handsome, but it gave a sense of gentleness and harmlessness.

He is more like a priest who is supposed to preside over a sacrifice at a shrine, or an elegant scholar who gives a lecture in a class.

But now he was sitting among the youkai who had drunk and forgotten.

Behind the man was suspended white jade-like steps, and at the top of the thirteen steps stood a human-faced bird wing, a strange bird in the shape of a snake, and a comatose figure under the monster.

It was Masaki Uehara who was caught.

"Is the weird talk of the thirteen steps used here? Do you use it as a stage decoration? ”

Li Wu asked casually while observing the movements of the monsters and the words on their heads.

"Li Wujun has also heard the strange talk of non-existent steps?"

Yuichi Uehara seemed to know his name, and he was quite interested: "If you step on the extra steps, you will disappear without a trace, and it is also said that like the story of Ruzuki Station, you will come to another world - if you want me to say that this development is a little more innovative than hitting people with a truck." ”

"You're pretty trendy, uncle."

Hoshikawa Aoi said sarcastically, while pointing the barrel of Gijotan's cannon at the other party and began to silently accumulate strength.

"Wow, don't worry, there's always a villain's nagging session before shelling me, right? It's as if the transformation of a magical girl can't be interrupted? ”

Yuichi Uehara raised his palms exaggeratedly: "Where did we just go?" The thirteenth staircase is something that doesn't exist, and the party space we're in now is also cut off from the outside world, which means-"

A look of madness flashed across his calm face: "The Principle of the Eternal World has had the least effect on my lovely nephew on the steps. ”

"I don't have the time to listen to you."

The magical girl has finished her preparations, the muzzle of the cannon lights up with a blazing white light, and the torrent of magic power stabs towards the target like a lightsaber that brings sanctions!

Li Wu followed, and in a rare way, he concluded a flame seal to gather momentum, and a large fireball of added ingredients roared towards the monsters' table, leaving traces of being roasted to the heat in the air.

"The two of them are too anxious. Why don't you talk about something else, like the nature of youkai? ”

In the face of the ferocious attack, Yuichi Uehara still spoke slowly, while the monsters eating and drinking stood in front of him with their bodies like loyal guards.

A strong man with a ghostly face on the upper body, a giant spider on the lower body, and a tail with two forks, a calf-sized cat demon leaped out, like a breakwater, facing the magic cannon and the flame of wrath that brought the breath of death.

[Dirt Spider] and [Cat Again] barely held out for a few seconds or so before being torn apart by this wave of fully charged attacks.

The light pillar of the magic cannon pierced through the lower part of the earth spider's body, leaving a hideous hole; The flames ignited the cat's fur and then relentlessly eroded into its body, turning it into a white skeleton.

Yuichi Uehara continued, as if he was indifferent, "Nostalgia, resentment, and fear, youkai are born of the stories and emotions that people recount, and on the other hand, as long as you provide the two elements of [story] and [emotion], it is not difficult to create a youkai. ”

Despite his death, the resistance of the earth spider and the cat did work, and after the aftermath annihilated more than a dozen youkai and left a huge crater in front of the gymnasium, the man dressed as a priest remained unharmed.

Even if he didn't care about it at first, after hearing the words in his mouth, Li Wu couldn't help but think about it.

In the Fu Fu God incident, the story is a strange story of a video game hall, and the emotion may refer to the regret and nostalgia of the owner of the video game store when he hanged himself because he couldn't continue to operate.

Prajna ghosts correspond to the legend of the murder and the feelings of jealousy; The tengu is the strange tale spread by the Snow Maiden and her longing for her deceased husband.

So, what about the monsters they are facing in the school right now? The story is a strange story that has been circulating recently, and some of them are legends that have been sung for a long time, but what makes the legend into substance comes from whose obsession?

Before he could think about it, the girl next to him had already rushed out with a giant axe.

But Yuichi Uehara's voice continued: "...... And those of you who killed the youkai I created are already in the story. ”

The alarm sounded from the Pure Eye, but the crisis did not know where it came from.

The man surrounded by the youkai smiled.

The scene is the right place.

This playground is where the two young people first meet, and where they work together to face the villains behind the scenes, where the story begins and where the final curtain falls.

The time is right.

There's nothing quite like the moment of the decisive battle that fits the climax of the story.

So, the trap that had been prepared for a long time showed its fangs.

Yuichi Uehara said the spirit of the words: "Dependent origin and extinction, pure and inaction-non-action, pure and free method." ”

Imagine having a table lamp in your head, and you can see the surrounding scene on a daily basis depending on its light.

Now, Li Wu felt that someone had stopped the switch line of the lamp.

Utter darkness enveloped him.

It wasn't a lack of light in the usual sense, and after gaining extraordinary powers, he could see his surroundings even in the darkest corners.

This is more like a kind of conceptual blackness, so that the existence in it dissolves into the surroundings as if it has become a hollow, and it cannot feel the physical senses, cannot perceive its own consciousness, and even the mind seems to become sluggish and lazy.

It's nice to even have a feeling that it goes on like this.

Absolute darkness...... Where have you ever heard of this description...... Combat meeting? What is a combat meeting? And with whom?

I can't remember my face, but it seems that I have a person with the word "shrine maiden" on my head...... And the person with the [Active Magical Girl~(^_−)☆] on his head.

In the darkness of memory, only the words are clearly visible.

This emoji is too nonsense, just like her, sometimes it always shows a stupid side.

Who is she?

Thinking gradually builds logic, and the fragmented self tries to piece it together - it's Aoi Hoshikawa, a magical girl, and her classmates, who are in the midst of a battle with Yuichi Uehara.

When this is realized, a little fire ignites from the darkness.

Li Wu regained the sense of flesh.

He moved his body with some cherishment, and turned his head to look around.

It was still in the dark, except for the faint light of fire in the heart of his body.

"Now, then, I'm most likely in a state like being indestructible or slowing down the flow of time, otherwise the monsters from the outside world would have killed me a long time ago."

"It's unlikely that he's dead, and now he's in the afterlife, and there's no fighting organization led by a red-haired beautiful girl."

After telling himself a bad joke, Li Wu concluded: "I almost know how to get out of here." ”
