"Since I said that I was going to defeat the Demon King next, I actually have a guess about his identity."

After the mood eased—or rather apparently eased—Li Wu turned his attention to the business at hand.

As Hoshikawa Aoi said, they are still trapped in a transferred city, and it is better to wait until they return to the original world if they have any problems.

Sort out the current information: An unknown existence simulated or copied the ability of Shiratori Maoi, and on the first day of September, Chiyo City was used as the basis of the spell to summon the other world suspected of the source of the negative world monsters, although the unlucky world has not officially collided with Li Wu's original world, but the distortion caused by the proximity has already had a huge impact on Chiyo City, manifested in the replacement of common sense and world view, and the loss of memory.

In the city of Shin Chiyo, four legendary seals were set up by ancient warriors, and at one time they were controlled by beings who claimed to be demon kings, who were believed to be the culprits in the current situation.

And according to the news brought by Mai Shiratori, who was connected to the magical girl of the countermeasures bureau in the outside world, the so-called quadruple seal is related to whether or not Chiyo City can be brought back to the original world.

"So, the ancient warrior who set up the quadruple seal and the demon king who is currently suspected of being behind the scenes, will they be the same person, or at least someone who is closely related?"

Li Wu put forward his own speculation.

The black notebook written in the voice of an ancient warrior in the third seal had already been circulated by them just now.

Like the previous two books, a proverb with a similar format is written on the cover, this time it is [Companionship into the Lonely Wasteland]...... These are all words and phrases full of ominous meanings.

The content is even more lackluster than the previous one, almost only a cold account of the battles he restarted after the seizure of the kingdom, and occasionally accompanied by an almost insane statement, which can give a glimpse of the narrator's extreme loneliness after the massacre, and almost only the obsession of returning to the original world is left to support his actions.

"You mean, the other world that is being summoned now is the place where the ancient warriors used to be?"

The active light writer immediately thought of this common development routine, "After returning to reality, he found that he could no longer adapt to the peaceful daily life, so he had to return to the world where he had fought...... Something like that. ”

"The latter part is completely your brain, right? But that's exactly what I thought. ”

Li Wu affirmed her opinion after complaining.

"Actually, I'm curious why the quadruple seals are all related to Rin-san Hori and you at the moment."

Hoshikawa Aoi pinched the long hair hanging down her shoulders and said lightly.

Once or twice may be a coincidence, but three times can indeed summarize such a pattern.

The location of each seal corresponds to the place where Li Wu and Guang have left deep memories before, and it can't be said that the purpose of the person who made such a big battle this time is to help the two of them reminisce about their childhood...... Right?

"Could it be that the mastermind behind this is actually the light or myself who travels back to the past in the future?"

Li Wu even had such an unbelievable speculation.

Considering that the transferred Chiyo City did not bring the Nine Lessons or other supernatural organizations that might be stationed in the city, but only involved their group, there is even a little reasonableness.

In addition to proving that time travel is possible.

"Li Jun, do you finally agree with my reasoning?"

Aoi Hoshikawa, who has always adhered to the "Hori Rin Mitsu True Murder Theory" from the very beginning, happily put down the hand that was ravaging her hair.

"Against!"

Hikari protested, "I'm not going to wear that tasteless ugly armor." ”

"Then can you explain why you chose those three locations as the sealing locations?"

Hoshikawa Aoi didn't show an aggressive look like she usually did.

The light suddenly froze, but it wasn't entirely because of the other party's problem.

"Why did you choose those three locations......

She fell into deep thought, "Like, there is indeed a reason. ”

"The man behind the scenes is exposed!"

"Well, please don't fight among yourself, okay?"

Arisa hugged her head in distress.

"Light?"

Li Wu looked at her inquiringly.

"I forgot."

Bare lay down in frustration, stretched out his arms flat forward and slapped the table, "I always feel that those locations are meaningful, but I still can't remember what happened on the last day of August." ”

For this, it seems that only Hoshikawa Aoi, Li Wu, and Hikari are still unable to remember what they were doing the day before the incident, while Shiratori and Airisa's memories have no effect.

Why such a difference occurs is also a mystery.

"Anyway, no matter who the so-called demon king is, we're going to defeat him, right? After all, the other party took the initiative to attack Guang. ”

Shiratori thought, "Then you'll be able to see your face." ”

"The location of the fourth seal is the middle school where I and Hikari used to be."

Li Wu took the opportunity to change the topic, "If it is still according to the previous rules, I think I already know what its prototype is." ”

"I've guessed that too."

Hikari looked up from the table, "It must be that place, the ritual field I built with Xiao Wu to summon demons." ”

"Are you two playing any dumb riddles?"

Hoshikawa Aoi wrote the unhappiness on her face.

"Ah, Hoshikawa-san, I don't know at all, I really can't help it, this is also because you never asked about Xiao Wu's relationship, right? Then it's up to me to teach you the knowledge of Ould (the goddess of the past in Norse mythology), listen well. ”

Light ...... to regain normalcy from depression At this moment, the degree of disgust increased, exploded, and surged, making the other party's eyes seem to ignite a raging anger visible to the naked eye in an instant.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry I don't know what your precious memories are."

Hoshikawa Aoi kindly took out a handkerchief and sat down next to her, "I made a prank because I was angry at Rin Hori for running into a dangerous place without permission, so now I'll make up for it a little." ”

"What do you want to do - Xiao Wu, come and help me!"

The unfinished words turned into meaningless moans because her face was pinched, and Hoshikawa Aoi held her down like a pet cat that was forced to resist bathing, and then rubbed her handkerchief vigorously on her bare face.

"I don't want to see anything......"

Faced with this brutal scene, Li Wu closed his eyes peacefully.

Desperate, desperate for the minefield of this conversation.

"No, you should open your eyes and stop them, don't react like your own predecessors who are self-defeating."

Mai Shiratori poked him.

"Hikari was hooked on the method of summoning demons on the roof on the first day of junior high school, and we used desks and chairs from later rival gangs and discarded wood to build a ceremony venue on the roof of the school - to be honest, quite spectacular, according to the routine of the first three seals, I guess the prototype of the last one will be this."

"I pushed forward the topic that I had just interrupted as if nothing happened......"

Arisa didn't know what she was admiring.

Ignoring the two people who were fighting over there, Li Wu opened the seal photo that he had saved to the local area before.

What appears on the computer screen is an ordinary school building except for the lack of a human figure.

The only difference was that on the roof of the school building, a magnificent castle stood against the principles of mechanics, and a larger building than the building itself was absurdly pressed on it without causing any damage, as if a small building block was used to support the black brick mass.

This is the true face of the Fourth Seal: Demon King City.

"Without further ado, we'll break in there tomorrow after a rest!"

Hoshikawa Aoi finally let go of the light and clenched her fists with energy.

So today I decided to disband here.

"Xiao Wu, can you stay for a while? I want to wipe these things clean here. ”

The light, who had finally broken free from the clutches, rubbed his face and said to him.

After all, she is also a girl, and she will still be ashamed to go home with a black beard and monocles.

Therefore, Aoi Hoshikawa, who can also understand this, and is also the culprit, is not easy to say.

"I can stay here with you, too."

Arisa hesitated for a moment before speaking, and Hikaru looked at her and nodded.

"In that case, then I ...... too"

Before things could turn out that everyone was going to stay, Shiratori Mayi grabbed Hoshikawa Aoi's hand.

"I'll use my ability to send Hoshikawa-san, it will be faster than you fly back!"

"Huh? Wait a minute! ”

For those with spatial abilities, the speed of sound transmission is still too slow.

Now, the remaining three people sit in an isosceles triangle position in the room.

"I probably can't wash it off with cold water, so I'll boil the water."

Li Wuteng stood up suddenly, and picked up the electric kettle prepared in the activity room by the way.

The two girls were relatively silent, as if they were waiting for each other to break the difficult silence.

"I'm sorry."

In the end, it was the light that spoke first.

Erisa, on the contrary, was taken aback by this sentence: "I should apologize, I shouldn't have said that incident in public......"

"That's also because I'm angry at Xiao Ai for no reason, right? Obviously, you are also involved in us. ”

Light lowered his head, "You...... Saw it at the time? ”

The other party finally nodded his head slightly: "I didn't see you at night, so I looked everywhere." ”

Arisa didn't say anything else she had heard afterwards, otherwise she was afraid that she would kill the vampire on the spot because she was angry.

"Although you shouldn't be angry, I still want to ask you the same question, why didn't Xiao Ai refuse when it happened?"

Hikari picked up her best friend's face and forced her to look at herself, "You obviously saw it, you should be able to understand my feelings." ”

My answer...... It's still the same. Xiaoguang should be able to guess the reason. ”

"Why don't you just say it?"

"I was going to talk about it the night I stayed at your house, but after I finished speaking, I found that Xiaoguang was gone."

Speaking of this, even Airisa was a little angry, with a somewhat aggressive tone.

The light looked away and whistled out of tune.

"Change the subject in this way?!"

"In this case, Xiao Ai is the enemy."

"You're here to apologize in the first place, aren't you? You're really here to apologize, right? ”

Anyway, the two still returned to their usual way of communication, probably.

"He told me that no matter what happens, he will see me as someone special."

Hikari pressed his chest as if he was still thinking about the situation.

“…… Are you here to show off? ”

Erisa was sullen.

"Little love you? Don't you want to destroy the status quo? ”

If she didn't want to, she wouldn't have agreed to Shiratori Mayi uniting for the time being.

Hikari whispered as if talking to herself, "And if she still maintains the reaction she has today...... I have no way of reassuring. ”

"Your way of thinking is too much beyond the common sense of ordinary people."

Arisa listened to the approaching footsteps outside the door, "He's coming back." ”

When Li Wu opened the door, he saw two people sitting together intimately like a pair of sisters.

"I've already apologized to Xiao Ai."

Hikari ran over to ask for credit, and Airisa turned her head with a subtle expression.

"It's a good quality to know that mistakes can be corrected - Airisa helps me plug it in."

The indicator light of the electric kettle turned red, and the girl who leaned down revealed the back of her snow-white neck, and I don't know if it was because of the species, the extraordinarily sparse hair was dyed with a layer of orange glow under the sunset that slanted into the room.

When I raised my head again, I happened to meet the eyes of the boy who had just entered the room.

The other's gaze seemed to linger on her lips for a moment, and then immediately moved away.

Even this kind of contact, which was probably an illusion, reminded her of yesterday's experience, and the temperature on her face gradually increased.

Li Wu felt that something might have gone wrong in his brain.

It was just a girl's embarrassed and shy reaction, and when he thought of the events that had happened in the past two days, he almost burst into tears for this ordinary atmosphere.

Even vampires have become angels at this moment!

St. Arisa!

But now that the problem of light is solved for the time being, shouldn't I apologize to her next?

"Eri ......"

"I have something to say to you!"

She preemptively got up from her chair and clenched her two small fists nervously, "Now that Xiaoguang is back, I'...... I think we should put an end to yesterday's events......"

Arisa's voice became quieter and quieter: "It's just an accident, but I don't mind...... So it's okay, don't be sorry. ”

It must be very difficult to squeeze out such words with her character.

The wording that was originally prepared could not respond to her properly.

Li Wu stretched out his hand across the table between the two of them and pressed it on the head of the girl who was less than thirty centimeters shorter than him.

"Thanks to Arisa, I feel at ease now."

Instead of an empty apology, let's tell her the feelings that come to my head directly.

"Ahh

Arisa looked up at her arm in confusion and made a strange noise.

She rubbed her palms gently, her soft hair rubbing against each other.

A day full of disasters ended in such a warm and healing atmosphere – as it should have been.

The boiling kettle made a long and sharp alarm sound, and in order to prevent everyone from dying of forgetfulness like Li Wu, we had to remind that there were always three people in the room.

Hikari lifted the kettle and towel, and walked towards the two of them who were playing with their heads with empty eyes.

"Light?! It was so nice that the water was boiling, and then wipe our faces clean and we could go home! ”

"I, I'll go back first."

"Help me wipe me wipe help me wipe help me wipe me wipe ......"

It is said that the clean-up workers who were on duty at the school that day heard a demonic voice like the murmur of a resentful spirit in the corridor of the club building.
