I was remembering that day.

You can't even forget it.

Because the first person I thought of made me look like that...

- From "this seat," she looked good.

She was always lucid, clear and sober with those long dark hair.

That's what she looked like to me back then.

"Hey Hitachi? You were watching, weren't you?

"Huh?... What?

It was Saab who said that.

"I'm talking about the White River. You were watching? You like that?

"That's not true! I wouldn't go along with her."

"You want me to help you?

Saab said so with an invincible grin.

Saab says he can give me a hand.

Of course not.

Naturally, I suspected.

But for me back then, the word "help” was more attractive than anything.

So I wanted you to help me if you could.

He used my weak heart gap like that again.

"Actually... it is"

That's what I said.

But that was a mistake.

No, I knew that.

But I believed Saab for a moment.

I believed that 1%, knowing it was a lie.

So, one more thing.

I was “abused".

But either way, Saab wouldn't have stopped.

I think so now.

- And it happened on a lunch break one day.

There's no such thing as a dining room in my school, and basically everyone has lunch in their own classroom or in the classroom of a good friend. The rest is on the roof.

And my classroom was full of students from other classes every day.

That's because the Leah Recruiters gather people in this classroom.

The article was one of them.

I was having lunch in the classroom.

And when some of the usual ments gathered in the classroom, Saab stood up and said:

"Everyone wants to hear something. As a matter of fact... I was recently consulted by Hitachi."

"Consultation? Saab, what are you talking about?

One of Leah's charms asked.

"Shirakawa? It has something to do with you, too."

"Huh? Me?

Mr. Shirakawa was confused.

Naturally. If they say that all of a sudden, what are you talking about? You'd think.

And for a moment, Mr. Shirakawa, who saw me, turned away.

Now that I think about it, maybe she was aware of what Saab was going to say at that point.

No, I think so.

Because Saab was looking forward to it and talking in an orderly fashion.

"Hitachi, stand up. Tell me."

I got up naturally.

It was obscure.

More than I can think of.

So as I was told, I stood up and, as Saab instructed, turned to her.

"Hitachi, you say it from here."

Everyone already knew.

Hitachi will confess to Shirakawa.

That's what they all say.

And then you know what happened, right?

I've exposed myself to shame.

And that was what Saab was after.

He made me do that when he found out it was going to happen.

And then Mr. Shirakawa-san turned away from me, looking at me, and ignoring me no matter what.

Even so, I never talked about it in particular until then......

But that wasn't the end of it.

Each one of them was a shadow, and they started laughing at me.

And that was what Saab was after, and I realized later.

He tried to find pleasure in me shaming him.

It wasn't just to get in the way, I just wanted to have fun.

By falling for me...

And Saab succeeded in that.

- "There's no way Hitachi can match Shirakawa.”

Then for a while, Saab and the students around him.

And even the guy who didn't have anything to do with me until then began to look at me every time he was different.

And as I can hear, that's what I said.

Everyone......

And now, right in front of me, there's that girlfriend.

"Do you remember?

Mr. Shirakawa has spoken.

I won't forget.

Hitachi told me he liked me.

What is it?

As I look back, White River says so.

But surprisingly, I don't feel anything.

"Glad to hear it, then."

"Then why did you avoid me?

"I... really tried to tell you right away. But... I was ashamed to let you know how I feel..."

I guess I would feel like some kind of Tokimeki if I were supposed to.

That's the kind of occasion.

But I don't feel anything.

"You're lying."

"Huh?"

"You're lying. You don't have such feelings for me. You even think it's rather disgusting, don't you?

"Oh, no! I..."

"That's Chihiro Shirakawa. Only the outside is clear, and the contents are like a dry fish woman. Now I know it smells like human rot."

On my right hand side, I noticed an executor's axe.

"I wonder what? If you noticed, you'd have the" Executor's Axe ”in my hand... it's all connected."

I took my feet one step at a time.

To her.

And I stood in front of the desk where she was.

Even in front of me, I still don't feel anything.

"Hey Hitachi? Why don't you go again? At that time... say what you said to me."

The emergency is terrific.

I feel fine expression in every word.

But I don't feel the emotions at heart.

"There's another reason I don't feel anything."

That was a simple story.

"Because you're simply a skank. Just so we're clear, the three people I see all the time are too beautiful, and the“ you guys "face looks so poor."

"Hitachi, please..."

"Please? What do you mean? Is it your wish to make me say that? That's a big wish, huh?

I can't even make an expression because I don't feel too much.

That's all I was growing up to be, mentally?

"Yes, I have a favor to ask."

I put an axe over my head.

Shirakawa was deliberately floating a question mark to make her look cute.

"Don't ever look at that dirty side again."

I shook my axe down.

Towards the end of it.

"It's refreshing..."

At that moment, the head of the White River danced through the universe with blood scattered, hitting the front wall and falling to the ground.

And at my feet, that neck rolled.

"I don't want you guys anymore. I don't even have to."

Am I crazy?

No, I don't think so.

I'm fine.

These guys are crazy in the first place.

Killing such crazy people would be a testament to being normal.

"This is..."

I crushed my neck at my feet.

- It's my other world.

At that moment, I felt something fluttering.

――

……

"" Masamune! Hold on! ""

I heard voices.

Then I regained consciousness to open my eyes softly.

And I was next door, and I saw a beautiful woman with thin pink hair.

"... Toa?

When I said that, Toa sighed as relieved.

"Are you okay? Your husband?

Nem is looking at me with a crying face.

"Nem?"

"Nito was asleep."

Then Sufilia told me about this situation.

"You were asleep? What's this all about? I was by the window earlier..."

When I checked the area, I was still at the window.

"I stopped talking like I was suddenly losing my mind, and I came closer and looked, and I was unconscious."

Apparently, I was losing my mind standing up.

"Conscious? Why..."

But I knew why immediately.

- "" The Nightmare (LV: 785) crusade activated [the protection of the Goddess]. Choose your loot '"

- "" EXP gained leveled Lv: 1221 to Lv: 1262 ""

"Apparently, I was being made to have nightmares by monsters."

I mean, I guess so.

And somehow, I'm supposed to have crusaded.

"Is it a nightmare?

Then Sufilia looked at me intrigued.

"Oh, they were attacked like that by a monster named Nightmare"

"Is it Nightmare?! It's not a monster, it's a monster!

"... I see, a demon"

"Yes, they say Nightmare breaks into the spirit and shows the trauma of the subject"

Trauma......

But for me, it was just a crappy dream that I could kill the guy I always wanted to kill.

"Speaking of which, Masamune? Before you lost your mind, you said you knew the truth, but what did you mean?

As I recall, Toa asked.

"It's the truth about the dungeon. Right... but don't you know right away?

Toa was tilting her neck.

"But that's not what matters... I remembered something important."

I looked into the eyes of three people.

"I have one thing to tell the three of us. That's another reason I'm traveling."

"Why?"

"Oh, the original reason I started my journey..."

Then the three of them waited silently for my words.

"I have the ones I want to kill... the princess of Grayberg and her associates have already killed. But that won't do. I have other people to kill."

- "Be sure to kill them all..."

That's what I swore then.

But I met Toa, and I met Sierra, Nem and Suphilia.

The pain faded as time passed.

That's when I forgot the other meaning of my vows.

I forgot why I said "all“.

Because that's all I enjoyed the adventure.

Because I was happy just touching something that was only unknown until then: magic.

But...

"I remember..."

"... you remember? That's..."

"Maybe it'll annoy the three of us ahead. But as hard as I can, I'm gonna do it with my own hands. Like when Grayberg...... Still, I can't say for sure more than act together"

"Your husband? That's... that's a bad thing, isn't it?

I guess Nem's waiting for me to deny it.

You can tell by the look on your face.

"I don't think so. All right, Nem? Will, can you believe it's the right thing to do - that's what matters. That's what I think. I don't think it's a mistake."

"Then... Nem will follow your husband..."

"Is that Nem's will? Then that's fine."

From the look on Nem's face, he saw something complicated, like a mixture of anxiety and stray.

"Dear Nito,"

It was Sufilia.

"Me and Nito are alike. Somehow, but now I feel like I know why Master Nito helped me. Together, we cursed irrationality and we cursed ourselves for being abused. I am not lost. I'll follow you."

"Right...... thanks. Sufilia."

Sufilia thanked him.

"Toa......"

I turned to Toa.

"I honestly don't know what Masamune is talking about. But like before, I know you're trying to do something you shouldn't. But... there's no turning back for Masamune, is there something important?

"Oh, it's important... that we can't turn back. If you turn back, I'm the same in this world..."

"Well, I'll follow you, too. Because I've already decided to believe you. Besides, I haven't been given a ride home yet."

"Ha ha... you did"

As for Toa, the purpose was to send him home.

But I don't think that's all Toa is anymore.

"So? I heard earlier, what's the truth about the dungeon? Come on, can I tell you something?

He looked at me with the look that Toa couldn't wait any longer.

"Right... but there are still parts of me that are half-hearted. But if I'm right, it's not weird that I'm ready to attack..."

"Attack?! Why would it be an offense?

"Well, just to be brief, there's no place on this campus that means anything to me other than this classroom."

"A place that makes sense?

"Oh, I thought it was strange from the start. I don't know why the dungeon is the school I went to."

Speaking of which, yes.

Then Sufilia showed her satisfaction with my words.

"Indeed... speaking of dungeons, it is a famous labyrinth that has also existed in numerous fairy tales for a long time. Some of them varied from time to time and seemed to be in different ways. But has this ever happened before? I (I) have never seen such a statement. Of course, I don't think what I see is everything."

"What do you mean? Your husband?

"Oh, right. The point is, this dungeon has something to do with me. I don't know about the rest, but that's all I can say for sure"

As I spoke, I chose the Nightmare Crusade loot.

- It's the magic "Dream Eating (Somnicubus)".

"It has to do with your husband...... dungeons?

Nem was tilting his neck.

"Oh, it's called a monster that's come out so far, it's called an earlier nightmare. This school itself is so in the first place. I don't know what reason this is happening, but it's all about me."

"So? What's the truth about that?

"Right... this may be a slightly sooner hypothesis, but maybe this dungeon itself is the kind of thing that's out there for me. Before we left, Mr. Khalifa said," If not, turn back. "I've been thinking about the meaning of the word, and I don't know what to think about it, but don't you feel like Tsuji?

Each of the three had a troubling look and seemed to be thinking of something.

Then it was then.

"Hmm?"

For a moment, I felt like I was losing my mind.

I thought it was another nightmare, so I checked around.

But apparently, the three of them felt the same “shake."

"Masamune"

"Oh, I know"

I alerted the area.

It was then.

A nostalgic sound sounded like a foot made of metal from a desk and chair hit the quiet classroom.

We glanced at the noise reflexively.

Then the three of them raised their faces with a question mark.

But I'm not.

"Long time no see, huh? Hitachi......"

It was Saab who was there.
