I dreamed of a place I had been to -

On the first day of school, Li Wu was forcibly woken up.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her bright white tail brushing his cheek, making him want to sneeze.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to be tossed by you with hair allergies."

He looked at his childhood sweetheart.

Rinko Hori looked back with wide eyes, and the triangular ears on his head twitched, as if asking him when he would be able to get up instead of his master.

She had put on her school uniform for the first time in a long time, her calves leaning together against the edge of the bed were wrapped in black over-the-knee socks, and her mischievous tail was recycled under her skirt and hung down naturally.

After driving the light home, washing and dressing in front of the chattering mirror reciting the "Student Dress Code", checking the alarm clock that didn't work again, and driving away the picos hanging from the hour hand, Li Wu walked out of the house.

A long brass-colored mast protruded from the bow of the ship, and the steam airship that cruised through the air like a narwhal happened to pass by, casting huge shadows on the ground, and several two-legged wyverns cautiously tailing it, as if assessing the feasibility of an attack.

Li Wu raised his head, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

"Xiao Wu, hurry up, the assembly is about to start."

Hikari, who was waiting on the side of the street, shook his tail and urged.

She's a child of the cat people race who lives next to her, and she's a childhood sweetheart.

On the top of her head is [#¥?] Brave ¥@#] text,That's what only he can see.,The ability to awaken some time ago.,But for some reason it's always accompanied by garbled characters.。

"That airship, do you usually have it?"

On the way to school, he couldn't help but ask.

"The surveillance device of the Demon King's Army? Occasionally, it comes here.,But there's no attack power meow per se.。 ”

Hikari replied as a matter of course.

By the way, the Demon King Army is an evil organization developed from a certain junior high school as a base, which is common sense.

Wait a minute, it's weird to have an evil organization based in junior high school, right? Isn't it strange? Are the members all teenagers and girls with secondary two diseases?

On the one hand, it is solid common sense, and on the other hand, a certain sense of disobedience constantly comes to the surface of the mind.

Not only the so-called Demon King Army, but also those guys with different appearances, pointed ears, horses on the lower body, and tentacles all over their bodies; There are no pumpkin carts on the road that move on their own because of their mounts; Dressed in heavy power armor and armed with knives and spears to stab the goblins that emerge from the sewer fence—

"Why are the Discipline Commissioners killing goblins?"

Li Wu pointed to the cans with the green and white Inawa High School Wind Committee member logo tattooed on his right arm.

"Looks like they've grown a big nest in the sewers again."

Hikari also stood by and watched for a while, "This is the duty of the Discipline Commissioner, Xiao Wu is weird today." This area is under our control, and of course it is responsible for maintaining the safety of the meow. ”

Chiyo is a self-governing city ruled by a coalition of professional adventurers with students as the main force - this worldview is too nonsense.

Just like just now, two different ideas clash violently.

"If you think about it, should the light really have cat ears?"

Li Wu stretched out his hand and pinched the fluffy ears on the top of his childhood sweetheart's head.

She shuddered and leaned backwards trying to break free from the clutches, the other cat's ear that had not been pinched shook desperately.

"Xiao Wu, this place - no!"

She shouted almost as far as she squeezed her voice out of her throat.

"I'm sorry."

Li Wu, who reacted, immediately let go of his hand, "But can you do without that strange sentence ending?" Can you stop meowing and meowing? ”

There is always an illusion of maliciously selling cuteness.

"If it's Xiao Wu's request, I'll do my best—"

At that moment, a stunned voice came from above the two of them.

"Li Jun, when did you have such a perverted hobby?"

When I looked up, I saw a woman sitting sideways on a broomstick, floating in the air.

She was wearing a top hat, and at the moment she was holding out a hand to grasp the wide brim, and she was not wearing a similar student uniform as the two of them, but a yellow tie undershirt and a short skirt with white lace, and an additional coat with wide sleeves and a cape-like hem at the back, and the smooth legs protruding from below hung casually in the air, and finally stepped into the crescent-shaped boots.

This wizard-like girl is called Aoi Hoshikawa, who should theoretically be his lover, and the text [Demon @#女] is suspended on her head, which is both a profession and her race.

Hoshikawa Aoi landed on the ground, and the broom obediently erected to the side to follow the master.

"Let's go to school together."

Li Wu looked at the broom that automatically began to sweep the floor: "Ling...... Always using a broomstick?

"I don't talk to people who molest their childhood sweethearts in front of their girlfriends early in the morning."

She turned her head dissatisfied, and after holding on for a few seconds, she turned her head to look at it again, "Your question is so strange, Li Jun." Of course, the witch uses a broom, do you have any complaints about my Nichiren 2000, which I have used for a few years? ”

"No, I just think your magic guide should be a little wilder, less sissy."

"What are you talking about to a girl!?"

Hoshikawa Aoi was rightfully angry, and it wasn't until the three of them got on the bus that looked like a giant orange cat that they reconciled.

The bus ran on all four legs, then braked hard in front of the gate of Inaba High School to put the passengers down.

On the first day of school, there seemed to be a meeting held by the student council, and the white-haired, almost down-to-the-ground principal stood on crutches on the stage to report the achievements of the previous semester's ruins exploration and completion of tasks, and at the end of the speech, his voice suddenly rose upward: "All this is inseparable from the efforts of the brave department of our school, please pay tribute to them." ”

When Li Wu was still wondering if the principal was too old, the people around him suddenly looked at him and applauded.

Hoshikawa Aoi, who was sitting next to him, stood up first, and pulled him, and then [Suck &*Blood @#] Airisa, who was sitting in front of him with her wings stretched out behind her back, followed a little uncomfortably, and finally Hikari.

Ministry of Bravery?

After the ceremonial applause, several people sat down, and the student president who came to the stage casually lifted the trembling white-haired principal, holding his ankle and splitting the podium where he had just spoken.

"Hey, no one has a problem with what she just did?"

"It's true that it's not good to break the podium."

Hoshikawa nodded in agreement.

"What's obviously worse than breaking the podium?!"

"It's just the headmaster, and it's only useful for sending tasks and being particularly hard, right?"

Hoshikawa Aoi gave him a strange look, "I've heard that other schools also have dual-wielding deans and principals as weapons. ”

I confirmed that there must be something wrong with this world.

At the moment when he made this judgment, the strong sense of disobedience eased a lot, as if he had taken off his foggy glasses in front of his eyes.

While I can't remember what the "right world" should look like, there are definitely some distortions in the status quo.

The student president on the stage waved the principal in his hand vigorously, and then held him up for a speech: "Congratulations to everyone on the start of the new semester, this fall, we will continue to defeat those bastards who come to find fault, and do a good job of assisting the brave and his party, until——"

She deliberately paused to brew the atmosphere, "Break the Great Quadruple Seal!" ”

"What is the Great Quadruple Seal?"

After the assembly, the students in each class returned to their classrooms.

Considering that Hikaru and Hoshikawa Aoi seem to have been confused by his successive "common sense questions", he asks another subject.

The two people in front of them - no, it's hard to say that they are people.

One looks like a thin and small cold-faced man, but the lower half of his body is the arthropod of a spider, with [Spider@#蛛#忍者] written on his head, and the other is simply an amorphous mucus mass, with blue bubbles on the surface from time to time, and [History!] Ry's #Idol of the Moon].

It's just a ninja, and a slime who is completely humanoid can be an idol?!

Teraya Zhenxun nodded the table with his arthropods: "The so-called great fourfold seal is the fourfold great seal, but in fact, this will cause ambiguity, is there four seals or four great seals?" ”

“……”

"It's actually a ......"

"No one is interested in your bad jokes!"

Li Wu turned to Ryoko Aoki, and the slime squirmed a few times before letting out a crisp female voice: "Legend has it that the ancient King of the Brave, the Brave of the Brave, once saved the world on the brink of destruction from the hands of the Demon King, and after that, he personally set up four sealing labyrinths, and those who unlock them can know the true meaning of the world." ”

Teraya Mahiro added, "And now, the four seal locations have been revealed in Chiyo, and every brave man wants to crack the secret behind it. ”

Since it is every brave man, it seems that in their cognition, the brave man is not a singular concept.

"Your Brave Ministry should be about to start attacking the first seal, right? Why do you ask us such questions? ”

Ryoko deformed in confusion and made a chirping sound.

Just as the teacher walked in, he took the opportunity to prevaricate.

At noon, I finally found an opportunity to go to the activity classroom of the Brave Division.

"I don't know why, but I always have the feeling that a teacher should be bald."

On the way, he complained to Hoshikawa Aoi, who was walking together.

"That's so rude, it's so cute."

She was right, and the teacher who walked into the classroom in the morning looked ...... It's just a lovely young girl.

Her long, almost floor-to-ceiling hair, gentle smile, and delicate countenance made it so much that everyone paid more attention to her appearance than what she had said.

The activity classroom of the Brave Department occupied the most luxurious room on campus, and when Li Wu pushed the door open, a figure rushed out.

"Li Wu!"

Arisa hugged him, her outstretched wings wrapped around her like cocoons.

She stood on tiptoe and bared the fangs in her mouth, "Thank you for your hospitality—"

Bang!

Hoshikawa Aoi twisted her waist and swung her fist in one go, slamming it into Arisa's side and knocking her flying.

The vampire rolled in the air and knocked down a large swath of tables and chairs.

"Bloodsucking forbidden!"

She made a big cross in awe.

"It's too much, Xiaoguang, can you make the prohibition of beating up members a new rule?"

"I agree with Miss Witch."

So Arisa hid in the corner crying and drank the blood pack.

The person she asked for help was sitting in front of her laptop browsing a web page, her cat ears erected in preoccupation, and a two-handed sword unsheathed next to the table.

Minister Hori Rinmitsu, Deputy Minister Li Wu, witch star Kawa Aoi, and vampire Airisa, these are all the members of Inaba High School's brave club.

"Should we still have one?"

Li Wu walked to the side of the minister's seat and pressed the light chair.

He felt that this position should not be sitting, but it was a bit of a suspicion of usurping power when he said it.

At the same time as this idea was born, a murmur was heard in my ears like when there were snowflakes on an old-fashioned television.

“…… Military...... Jun, to ...... Water ......"

It's like diving into the sea and someone is calling your name on the shore, and the voice comes to your head distorted through the sea.

He covered his ears.

Water? What water?

"Xiao Wu, are you okay?"

Hikari noticed his movements and looked away from the computer screen.

"No, nothing, what is the light doing?"

He had determined that there was something wrong with the world he was currently living in.

I still don't remember what the world should be like, but if you think about it, you will find a loophole.

For example, how he met this light with cat ears, what they experienced together before they became lovers with Aoi Hoshikawa, and how they met Arisa - if you try to recall the details, you will find that there are large blank spaces and vague impressions that seem to be shoddy.

Another example is what the situation is outside Chiyo City - there is completely zero knowledge about this.

If he compares this world to a dream, it is as if he already knows that he is in a dream, but he can't wake up for a while, and he can't remember what kind of person he is in reality.

If this method and his speculation were told to them, they might be able to discover that something was wrong with reality.

But Li Wu thought about it for a while and decided not to try it lightly for the time being-assuming that the current situation was the result of someone deliberately designing, it might not be a wise choice to rashly startle the snake.

And now there are two main clues at hand, one is the fourfold seal that is said to be related to the "true meaning of the world", and the other is the inexplicable auditory hallucinations that have just been generated.

The latter is unknown and the amount of information is too little, I don't know whether to let him go to a place where there is water or not to go near the water, but the former should be evidence-according to Ryoko, the Brave Ministry is preparing the first seal of the Raiders.

As he pondered, he leaned closer to the light and asked his own question.

Light moved the computer to make it easier for him to watch: "I checked the situation of the first sealing labyrinth on the Brave Mutual Aid message board. ”

Have the brave proliferated to the point where you can set up such a website?!

The elaborately designed forum is lined with pictures that the light has just browsed.

It was supposed to be a photo taken at night, and from the background, it should be a spot on the outskirts of the city, under the night sky, a tower like an optimus pillar standing on the ground, the top of which reaches deep into the clouds.
