The next day, Li Wu woke up in a tremor.

"Earthquake?!"

Masaki Uehara half-sat up in a little panic.

The lamp on the bedside table quickly stopped trembling, and the tiny vibrations vanished like the hallucinations of a sudden visit.

"It seems to be fine, there shouldn't be another big earthquake, right?"

Li Wu looked out the window, and a flock of water birds seemed to be flying on the shore of Kamo Lake because of the shaking just now.

As they talked about yesterday, the Chuetsu region of Niigata was hit by a major earthquake about a decade ago, so much so that there is a tradition of mourning the dead through a flowering fire festival.

But light tremors like this are not uncommon in the region.

This morning's event was a visit to the Yoshima Bay Aquarium, and at around 8:40, the first-year students of Inaba High School boarded the bus from Ryotsu Port.

The aquarium is located on the west side of Longdu Island, and it is about an hour and a half drive from where they departed.

"What is Li Wu looking at?"

Probably thinking that the scenery on the road was not pretty, Hoshikawa Aoi, who was sitting behind him, poked his head over against the back of the car seat.

A few strands of black hair hung down from his left side, making him feel a little itchy on his neck.

Arisa, who was sitting next to her, kindly helped her fix her hair.

"I don't think Hoshikawa will be interested."

He showed her his phone.

"The Rheology of the Celtic Mother Mother Goddess...... Uh, are you going to look at this kind of thing before going to the aquarium? ”

The magical girl sat down respectfully.

In fact, he didn't have nothing to see this to pass the time,

After killing Jack Pumpkin, the completion rate of [The Exorcist] became 97.5%, and the completion of [Sage] still increased quite slowly, reaching only 13%.

Moreover, compared to the Kuligara Demon Suppression Spell, the use of summoning Stonehenge is more obscure, and he has only mastered the effect of strengthening himself at present.

Whether it was the giant or yesterday's pumpkin-headed monster, they all mentioned that they felt the aura associated with the sun from it, so he naturally planned to start from this aspect as well.

There is a theory of the significance of Stonehenge that it was a temple for the sun based on animal bones excavated from its vicinity.

And based on yesterday's battle, he fine-tuned this point of view again.

The reason why such a site was chosen for stone pillars is probably due to the Celts' interpretation of the relationship between the goddess Earth Mother and the sun goddess, who possessed fertility and the bounty of the earth.

The Danu gods in the Celtic mythology are all descendants of the goddess of the earth named Danu, which is why the giant Mercury called them the sons of Danu, but this mother of the gods has not left many legends in later generations.

In many legends, there is a tendency for the gods of heaven to overpower the gods of the earth, and for the patrilineal gods to defeat the matrilineal gods, and this may also be reflected in the succession of the sun god Ruger, whose father was only a secondary god among the Danu gods, as the god-king.

The child is conceived above the mother's position, so it is not surprising that Stonehenge, which represents the elements of the earth, became a place of worship for the sun.

Perhaps the direction of further development of the capability is to call on the power of Luger.

When she was about to reach her destination, Arisa suddenly pressed her face against the window.

"It's the beach."

The topography of the island is high on both sides in the south and low in the middle, and now vehicles are climbing up the mountain road.

Below the trail is part of the aquarium's bay, where the waves crash against the reef on the shore and the fine white sand reflects a dazzling sheen on the jutting beach.

"I'm going to see everywhere too!"

Hoshikawa Aoi swapped places with the girl next to her who said "Intelligence Strongman" and stuck her head out of the window.

"Hey! Don't do dangerous moves! ”

Li Wu stopped this arbitrary and reckless guy.

"It's okay, it's okay, even if I am hit by a truck full of arms at 120KM per hour, I have the confidence that my head will be fine!"

"Then think about how a truck driver feels!"

The girl of the [Intelligence Strong] burst out laughing.

Realizing that someone else was present, Hoshikawa Aoi retracted her head in embarrassment.

"I think Hoshikawa-san is very interesting."

The girl smiled and said, "You guys brought me out of the park last night when I was unconscious, right?" Thank you so much! ”

She doesn't seem to have any memory of being attacked by Jack.

"But I heard that many students who came to the courage test meeting that day were like seeing real ghosts, and they were so frightened that they couldn't tell me why they asked the next day."

She took out an old-fashioned mobile phone and deftly flicked the keyboard: "And judging from the local news I collected and the content posted by nearby residents on social media programs, it seems that there are rumors that a corner of the park has been cordoned off today, so if you think about it, my coma can't be a ghost, right?" ”

Although it is a joke tone, it is close to the truth.

"We just happened to meet ...... too"

Halfway through the words, Li Wu got stuck because he forgot her name for a while.

"Miyashiro Riyu." She reminded, "Members of the Department of Public Information. ”

The car continued to drive, and Arisa withdrew her gaze from the window.

"I always feel like I've seen that beach somewhere."

She muttered.

"Does Arisa want to go to the beach?"

"Oh, no, I'd rather never want to see a beach scene on a vacation."

She smiled innocently, "Is it really like Shiratori-san wrote, there are sharks that eat everyone?" ”

"Let's read less about what she wrote!"

Li Wu and Hoshikawa Aoi came to a unanimous opinion.

Gong Dai, who was watching the interaction between the three of them, patted the back of Li Wu's chair.

"Li Wu, would you mind accepting my temporary interview?"

"I don't think there's anything worth interviewing?"

The member of the press department pretended to hold the microphone and handed his fist in front of him: "You are too modest, classmate Li Wu. A transfer student from a foreign country, a hero who saved his classmates when gangsters raided the school, and the only male in a club of four beautiful girls, you definitely underestimate your popularity! ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Li Wu himself was shocked.

"Of course, the most important thing is that the face is better-looking, and if it is placed in the editorial newspaper of the Ministry of Information, it will definitely attract a wave of heat."

"That's the kind of idea."

Hoshikawa Aoi complained beside him.

"That's still it, please don't sacrifice your classmates for the benefit of the club like this."

Miyashiro Reiryu regretfully withdrew her hand.

"So just to satisfy my personal curiosity, can you ask Li Wu some questions?"

"I'm not sure to answer, right?"

"Well, it's a very simple question, which of the four girls in the club do you prefer?"

"Huh?!"

Airisa and Hoshikawa Aoi exclaimed first.

"This kind of question involves personal privacy, and I refuse to answer it."

Li Wumian said without changing his face.

"Uh-huh, is it a line like 'I like you, I like you so much, everybody socialize with me'?"

"How can there be someone who says such lines in reality!"

"So which one do you prefer, the future, the superpowered, the otherworldly, and the alien?"

"Our club is not this type of organization, you are deliberately making a joke because I refused to be interviewed!"

Although it is true that there are magical girls, vampires, and brave people.

Miyashiro Ryu folded her hands in embarrassment and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm too excited." ”

She took out the phone: "As compensation, let's exchange the number, shall we?" If there's anything you want to know about Chiyo City, you can ask me. ”

It's not the school, it's the size of the city.

Although there was only a brief exchange in the car, Li Wu had already realized that the member of the information department of Class B in the first year was a strange person.
