The banner with the inscription "Inaba High School 76th Sports Festival" was swept up in the wind as if it were about to fly into the blue autumn sky.

Yesterday's warm atmosphere has not yet cooled down, and today it has been pushed to a new peak, along the way you can see many people directly wearing sleeveless sportswear to school, holding their arms and shivering in the already slightly chilly autumn wind.

When Li Wu walked into the classroom, there was a shock from behind.

Arisa put down the satchel in her hand and said hello to him.

"Good morning."

She wanted to speak again and again, but finally couldn't help but continue, "Have you been injured somewhere lately?" ”

Although I had tried not to think about the smell of blood at the time, the curiosity to find out the truth came back after the events of the sports festival.

"Yes, I just got hit by Arisa."

Why did she hesitate to ask such strange questions all of a sudden?

"Hey, is there any bleeding - no, has it been bleeding in the last few days?"

"Are you hungry?"

Li Wu looked at the vampire girl's cherry lips vigilantly, "Don't beat the idea of overnight blood when you're hungry, maybe it's not good for your health." ”

"Ah, I'm just asking...... Is it okay to have blood now? ”

With my own courage, it was really not so easy to ask.

Airisa, who sat back in her seat, sulked and didn't look at him and Aoi Hoshikawa, who had already arrived in the classroom first.

The devil hides in the details, and all the detective has to do is piece together these tiny details into a complete picture.

She silently recited this message from the personal homepage of a netizen nicknamed "Moriaty" and made up her mind.

There is only one truth, and this mystery must be solved before the end of the day!

When it was almost nine o'clock, everyone moved to the playground, and the students of the executive committee set up a large blackboard in front of the gymnasium to count class points and individual rankings.

There are also people on the track to arrange obstacles to be used in today's first project, and there are familiar figures standing on the starting line.

"I haven't heard from Mao Yi that she still has to participate in the borrowing and borrowing race."

Li Wu took a piece of plum candy from the hand of Xingchuan Aoi, who was sitting next to him, and threw it into his mouth.

The ambulance team also works in shifts, so he plans to be a spectator in the stands today.

When he was about to reach out again, he found that his girlfriend had moved the snack bag to the other side of his body.

"Why don't you let [Real Clothes] buy you snacks?"

"The president is going to participate in the competition, how bad it is to disturb her."

Arisa, who was sitting one step above the two of them, pressed the position of her temples and felt a faint pain.

Even if you keep staring at their interaction, you can't guess what the bloodstains are that day.

The first event of the day was the Borrowed Object Race, and the Executive Committee of the Sports Festival worked hard with the Ministry of Information to send people to carry cameras to film the reactions of the players after receiving a small note with the name of the item to be borrowed, which was broadcast in real time on the electronic screens on both sides of the stands.

"President, before the next day's sports festival, would you like to announce your feelings about the upcoming game?"

Thanks to the murderous conversation just now, when the voice came out on the radio, Li Wu realized that this president was not the other president after a while.

Rika Teraya's flat voice resounded in the playground: "Things that have been borrowed in previous years are occasionally lost and damaged, and it will take a lot of labor from the student council to clean up the mess created, and I hope that this year it will be reduced to zero." ”

"No, worthy of the president, he said the right thing that emphasizes the rules!"

"Of course, if something unfortunate happens, it can't be helped."

"Oh, this loving tone like a helpless mother fully reflects your magnanimity!"

"I had to find the prisoner myself afterwards and tie him up in front of the victim to explain the mistake."

"President?!"

The radio returned to normal after a loud beep, but the athletes were already under tremendous pressure before the start of the competition.

Bang –

White smoke came out of the starting pistol, and the contestants ran forward with all their might.

The men's and women's divisions were not divided into the men's and women's divisions as in yesterday's main race, and the first to cross the barrier-free straight track and arrive next to the lottery box with the slip of paper was Masaki Uehara from Class B of the first year.

As soon as he unfolded the note, his expression of joy froze, and the press officer with the camera hurriedly rushed up to take pictures of what was written on it.

"A love letter that was returned after a failed confession?! This is written by a person who lacks virtue! ”

The reaction was clearly programmatic enough to spark laughter in the stands.

"So, what kind of solution will this student who draws a problem choose?"

The broadcast department, which suddenly changed a commentator after just a dripping sound, actively mobilized the emotions on the field, and Uehara began to act as expected.

He ran back to the stands, pulled pen and paper out of his bag, scribbled down a short line, and ran back to his place, handing the crumpled paper to the camera.

"Please mingle with me!"

"Die, now, immediately."

Miyashiro Ryu coldly refuses while maintaining the shooting.

Uehara, who was in tears on the runway, clutched his chest and ran towards the obstacle zone with the returned love letter held high.

"The so-called wounded enemy 1,000 self-damage and 800 self-damage describes such a situation, everyone is really unscrupulous in order to win."

Even the broadcasting department was shocked by this self-detonation at the cost of social death.

At the same time, the players behind also arrived one after another and drew out the things they wanted to borrow.

Mai Shiratori unfolded the note in his hand and displayed the contents on the electronic screen.

【Vice President】

"Oh, this first-year Class D player won this draw, what do you think about Teraya-san?"

"I haven't had time to name the vice president yet, so I'll take on the role for the time being."

"Huh? So I'm going to have to go into the broadcast studio and kidnap you? ”

"I'm going to resist to the death, and I'm going to bet on the name of a ninja."

"Don't resist! Why don't you have that kind of thing to bet on?! ”

By the time they were talking, Mai Shiratori had already run, but instead of going in the radio room, she was also running towards the stands.

"This classmate is going to the audience, is she going to find a vice minister of the club to replace her? But the way the minister and the president write it differently! ”

It's a good strategy, but Shiratori wants to modify it slightly.

"Li Wujun, I now order you to be the vice president of the club!"

In the midst of the commotion, she reached out her hand upwards.

"Wait a minute, is this a rule allowed?"

Before the referee of the on-site executive committee could speak, Hoshikawa Aoi had already complained loudly.

"Uehara-san's item was also created on the spot, right?"

Shiratori Mai confidently cited the precedent, "And it's the vice president of the organizer himself who didn't write down what it was." ”

"In that case, isn't it the same for me or Arisa?"

Her complaint was drowned out by the cheers of the vast number of male and female high school students who were watching the excitement, and even the camera moved to the scene of the suspected triangular relationship.

"Hurry up, Li Wujun, it's almost too late, are you going to hang me here and raise my hands awkwardly until the end of the game?"

She squeezed out a few tears, adjusted her position to face the camera, and posed as if she wanted to cry.

"I'll go and get the first place to come back a little bit, maybe I can use it as a contestant to mix up points for our class?"

Li Wu turned his head sideways and pressed Hoshikawa Aoi's palm to comfort her.

High emotional intelligence: win glory for the class.

Low EQ: One hundred tips for escaping in the face of the Shura field.

Hoshikawa Aoi wordlessly glanced at the elder who was shedding crocodile tears, and temporarily shut his mouth to calm the power struggle over the vice president position.

The people sitting in the stands below gave him room to pass and applauded almost as if they were in the middle of a mezzanine.

Shiratori Mayi took Li Wu's hand like a knight greeting the princess and waved gracefully to everyone.

Then the knight was dragged by the princess towards the obstacle course.

"Wait a minute, I can't keep up with you running so fast!"

"Didn't you say that the time was running out, did you grow up?!"

“…… Is there such a thing? My Vice President? ”

The single ponytail she tied today to facilitate exercise bounced up and down as she ran, and a few strands of hair were blown to the legs of her glasses, revealing a cunning smile like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

"Are you a British politician who pretends to be senile and deputies, as soon as you ask about business?!"

"We've already wasted a lot of time anyway, so we might as well just walk hand in hand...... Anyway, you've done it with Rin-san Hori, right? Vice President? ”

Shiratori asked quietly in his ear.

"Let's not mention that this position can still be good friends."

Step over railings, walk over horizontal bars, and leave obstacles and cheers behind.

"I don't want to be a good friend."

Facing the morning sun and the sound of the wind, the two ran forward while bickering.

In the end, because they had wasted too much time before, and because they had to carry Shiratori Maki, the two only won second place.

Masaki Uehara, who won the first place, was like a philosopher, holding a crumpled love letter with a closed heart, leaving behind and independent, and even Li Wu had to look at it with a trace of admiration.

Uehara, you've learned the power of loneliness.

After the situation is full of problems, and it is said that several couples have also achieved the opening of the borrowing race to stir up the atmosphere, other projects that have not yet been carried out will be held one by one in order.

The members of the club, who had completely turned into spectators, took the time to discuss the president's arbitrariness and who the vice president should be, and only when Hikari proposed that they should decide according to their own merits did they realize that they had not engaged in any reliable club activities at all.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the clear sky is also a red color.

As the final event falls to an end, the red general who has knocked down White's pole raises his hands and the referee blows the whistle to mark the end of the festival.

"Shall we go to a celebration party after that?"

When the principal gave the closing speech, Li Wu suddenly proposed in the group.

Arissa: "But we didn't do anything, did we?" ”

Hoshikawa Aoi: "It's a celebration that Li Jun and I each won the first place." ”

Mai Shiratori: "Isn't it amazing to bully ordinary people with superpowers?" ”

Rinko Hori: "The guy who is dragging his feet is not qualified to say ......"

Although their reactions were different, there should be no objection, and he was a little relieved.

When I looked up, I saw several airplane clouds that were also dyed red by the setting sun, and the fish-scale clouds next to them glowed with the afterglow announcing the end of the day.

“…… The 76th Inaba High School Sports Festival has come to an end. ”

The principal on the stage folded the speech and put it in his breast pocket, bowed, and the crowd lined up to leave in the hustle and bustle.

Because he made an appointment to gather in the activity room, Li Wu did not return to the classroom.

When he opened the door, he found that Arisa was the only one with his back to the entrance.

Seeing him come in, she turned around in a bit of a panic.

"You don't have to be that nervous, do you? I'm not going to eat Arisa again. ”

"I thought you'd come together......"

Arisa hesitated to walk across from her, pulling out of her seat and motioning for him to sit down.

"Why, do you mention the celebration feast? It doesn't feel like something you would normally do. ”

When he sat down obediently, the vampire girl standing behind him asked.

"I have an intuition that peaceful daily life has come to an end, so I want to leave some memories with you."

During this time, try not to pay attention to it, pretend that everything is the same as usual, and the things and worries that have been left behind resurface in the surface of consciousness after the sports festival used as an excuse has dissipated.

Even if he didn't believe the crazy guy, her words lingered in his ears like a prophetic spell, and he had to drag himself back to the moment to face reality.

The basic laws that underpin the world are crumbling, and he may become a weapon to kill them together, and the whereabouts of the villain who plotted the plot are unknown.

Hearing his answer, Arisa pressed her hands on the other's forehead.

"May I ask again? It's when I met you and Hoshikawa-san on the stairs the other day...... Blood ......"

She tried to organize her language as much as she could, asking questions that had been bothering her for days.

"You smell it?"

Li Wu casually said, "Actually, men bleed a little every month, which is normal." ”

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

“…… No, it's fake. ”

It would be bad if it really made Arisa believe it, he sighed and told the truth.

"It's too much, classmate Li Wu."

Scolded by a vampire who is not human at all.

"Thanks, I don't need to be reminded that I already know."

Arisa chuckled, her hands pulled back.

A warm touch came from the back of the head.

"But it doesn't matter, either way...... Probably. ”

It's even more frightening to describe it in a nutshell.

Li Wu was silent for a while, and finally decided not to complain that he was a little bitten now.

The door to the activity room was kicked open with a thud, and Arisa let go like an electric shock, straightening the folds on her chest.

Aoi Hoshikawa's upper body is covered by a large bag of snacks, and behind her is Hikaru holding two boxes of pizza.

"We discussed it and thought it would be better to eat here."

Shiratori Maoi, who was the last to enter the door, instructed Li Wu to put the table together, sat down on the seat near the whiteboard, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the layout when we got to know each other better at the beginning. ”

"Thanks to the game I made."

The magical girl was in charge of cutting the pizza, and Li Wu retorted while helping beside her: "Obviously, there are a lot of problems that I don't know." ”

"But it helped Arisa realize a perpetual motion machine, so it's no problem."

Hikari sat down beside him, and Airisa wound back to her place.

Drinks are poured into their respective cups, and they swirl like every ordinary day ever spent here.

The timing wasn't perfect, but it was hard to find a more suitable venue.

"Everyone."

He felt nervous again after many days, and even a little timid to speak, "Now may not be the time to talk about this, but I want to talk about what the guy I met said at the end of Chiyo City's fall into another world last time." ”

In fact, after the incident ended, he had already told them again.

"I don't think I'm going to believe it all, but in the unlikely event that something unusual happens to me, as she said......"

"Then we will cure Li Jun."

Aoi Hoshikawa interrupted his assumptions.

"There may not be such a convenient way then."

"Xiao Wu, are you thinking so ......?"

Hikari looked at him calmly and made a "Promise me a confession?" with the shape of her mouth. These words.

Before he could make his point, the conversation sank into a strong denial.

"That's why I said it didn't matter...... Li Wu is sometimes stupider than Hoshikawa. ”

Arisa muttered quietly, drawing an angry glare from the magical girl next to her.

"No matter what Li Wujun originally wanted to say, our attitude is definitely to refuse."

Mai Shiratori smiled and clasped her hands together, "Just as you are involved in our business, we are already involved in your problems - even if you don't specifically pick this time of day to say it, it will be the same result." ”

"It's going to be dangerous."

Li Wu himself felt that this argument seemed pale in front of them.

"Hasn't it always been like this?"

Hoshikawa Aoi complained, "It's too slow to notice until now." ”

"Defeat the other me and Lilith, and if the future is really as she said, find a solution."

Hikari raised her glasses, and they followed.

"It's like this to go to school together, participate in activities, and have fun having dinner afterwards...... This routine doesn't end there. ”

Hoshikawa Aoi said in a soft tone, "Of course, it would be better to have a little less emotional entanglement. ”

"I have a slightly different opinion, but I still don't say it, and I completely agree with the first half of the sentence."

Shiratori Mao sighed, "When I think that some peace agreements will be torn up after the matter is over, I feel that what you are worried about is actually not worth mentioning, Li Wujun. ”

Arisa helped him pick up the cup in front of him, put it in his hand, and smiled and concluded.

"That's what we see."

“…… The four of you have discussed it and come together to choke me, right? ”

Lost to them.

"I'm not going to talk about it again."

Li Wu reluctantly took the cup handed by Erisha and collided with the other four.

"So it's not just your opinions...... Plus mine. ”

Hopefully, the time in this room, outside the room, will never end.

"This is the opinion of the club."
