I had a dream.

In his dreams, he looked down at me and grinned.

"Stupid one"

That's what he said.

"I can't believe I can't even protect the woman I love."

He looks next to me.

Then I move my gaze to you, too.

The girl was down.

A thick spear was piercing through her torso, skewering her to the ground.

The girl was Alice.

I was peering into Alice's lost eyes when she was bloody and rolling on the spot.

"It was a failure"

With a earthy face, Alice moves her lips.

"What followed Mr. Cuz was a failure. Because of your decision, I"

Oh, well.

I am surprisingly convinced.

He looks up at me and laughs at me.

Did I lose to him again? [M]

"No matter how far you go, you're a piece of junk. Because of you, she dies."

Yes, because of me, Alice dies.

Because I made one mistake, it all falls apart.

Still. I hold my fist. Brush your teeth and lift your chin.

"Still, I am. I've made up my mind. Don't run away. Now it's me."

Stare at him laughing high...

The mackerel, which had no electricity, slept with him when the sun set, and said that it was life that arose with the morning sun.

It was before dawn that I woke up because I fell asleep very quickly.

I got out of bed with a rough breath.

Sleeping sweat is terrible.

I think I was dreaming something. I also think it was a nightmare.

"Bad dreams, don't you see?"

Squeeze.

Anyway, yesterday, it was terrible.

The routine came to a light end.

In just one day, everything changed.

And that goes on today.

The nightmare never ends.

I got out of bed.

I have a muscle ache and my whole body is tickled.

Still, I might be better off because I've been working out in hole digging these days.

Alice would be a lot.

Downstairs, the women were already awake.

It has a nice smell in it.

If you ask, Shiki suggested you should get strength at breakfast, even at the risk of being noticed by the oaks because of the smell.

They said the cooking room stove was out of gas, but they had a portable refillable gas stove, so I guess they use that to cook it.

Even in this situation, I think it would be great to have a member of the cooking department.

What came out was miso soup and retort rice, plus a curry of retorts.

That was all the easy breakfast I had.

But it's okay. Curry is a Japanese treat.

We were hungry, and we packed breakfast into our stomachs.

It wasn't just me, it was Alice and everyone else.

"Today's the day. I need to keep my stamina on!

There goes the blink.

I see, they all know.

What is the current situation and what is the reality that we must now confront without denying?

Thanks to my tummy full of warm rice, I'm feeling better.

After breakfast, between dawn and dawn, I first inspired a meeting about the integration of information and the policy of activities.

The location is the meeting room on the third floor.

The first and second floors are vandalized by the oak, and we are inevitably gathered on the third floor because we are unwilling to use them unless we clean them.

I surround the table in the conference room and get to my seat, and I look over together.

Alice and I got eyes on each other.

I grinned and Alice smiled back a little confused as to why.

Um? I don't know, I think the distance between the two is a little further...

No, it must be my fault.

Yeah, we're all here, so we dare keep our distance.

Naturally, things change all the time.

Already, the stage where Alice and I fight alone is over.

To survive today, that's not good enough. That was something we checked each other out in that white room.

No, me and Alice, if you two continue to act alone, or it might be possible to survive.

But then I can't protect Alice's best friend, Occasion.

The Occasion yesterday, I can't protect the lives I protected, the two middle freshmen.

I regained my mind, and again, after looking over at the same thing, I flicker my mouth.

"I'm checking first. Alice told me about the sight outside the mountain."

"I saw it with these eyes."

There goes the blink.

I ask what you mean.

"You can see it from the roof."

"What?"

"Meadows"

Oh, well, I made a dumb voice.

The roof of this building is taller than the trees.

The other side of the mountain must also have looked slightly better.

"When I was evacuating, I was a hippo. I went to the roof and looked around. I'm surprised. It's a totally different view."

"What did you think?"

"Uh, I thought you were in the game world."

As good as it sounds, he was more forthright than me.

World of games.

Yeah, there's an oak, and it's such a wide meadow, and there's a sight of a giant bird exposing an elephant.

Regardless of whether I can call that the world of games.

They are already aware of the nature of the situation in which we are now placed.

This is not Earth.

He said it was a different world.

"And, you see, I looked up through the window in the middle of the night, and there were two moons."

"Oh, there it is."

"The constellations are very different."

"Constellations, you know more about them"

"Alice."

I saw Alice.

Alice nodded a little shy.

"I like myths and stuff."

"It feels like a medium two disease?

"Bitter to Chu, is it?

Alice wore a small neck.

Shit, I said geeky things again, and when I looked around, a few of the girls were nibbling.

It was slight once in a while. A blonde twin tail was sifting and shaking.

Ah, shit.

Yeah, that's enough.

Return to the story.

"Uh, so we all have a common understanding that this isn't the planet,"

The girls nodded.

Some of the kids looked like they were going to cry.

I can't help it. I want to cry if I can do something about crying.

Honestly, why do I feel like I'm setting up a meeting?

No, I don't have a choice.

There are only two high-ranking people in this room right now.

It's me and Shiki.

And Shiki, reluctantly to me, gave me the lead in the meeting.

Even for me, I'm still somewhat obsessed with Shiki.

It's not funny to be partitioned by her, that is.

It's a tiny thing about balls.

No, really, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm a lot of people.

No, okay.

Regardless of my narrowness, it's a meeting now.

Try to share the perception.

"This is a different world. After that earthquake, our school, a whole mountain, came to another world. We're drifters from different worlds."

I say.

"And the orcs have broken into this mountain. Think of it in time, I can't believe you've climbed the mountain after the earthquake. Besides, they came from hands on the mountain. I'm sure there's something there, like a warp gate or a door to a journey."

I don't know if that's really the case, but I'm pretty sure I've made a special move by some means.

There is magic in this world.

It wouldn't be strange if there was a warp.

Though it's possible that it came with something like a flying airborne.

"The purpose of the orcs is unknown. But it's definitely just our enemy. This mountain building should be considered to be occupied mostly by oaks. You should think that your allies... are not here. Though there may be adults and students running away and hiding."

If there are surviving adults, they will be standing somewhere, or fleeing to the woods.

If we're going to rendezvous, we're going to have to free up every single building.

But even a gymnasium with about ten orcs was so miserable yesterday.

I don't think that's the main thing.

Plus, it came later, bronze-skinned oak.

I named myself Elite Oak.

If that's the last piece of shit, how easy it is to feel.

You should stop being such an optimistic assumption.

The enemy should be considered strong. Elite Orcs must act on multiple assumptions.

And a miscellaneous fish oak, at least a hundred or more, would exist.

A stronger one might even exist.

... After all, I'm afraid you don't know the full extent of the enemy.

Should we do a reconnaissance first?

But before that.

"I think everyone in this room should rise to level one if possible."

I could hear him swallowing his saliva.

"It means everyone kills the orcs in turn. Me and Alice won't be able to move the orc, so all you have to do is spear it. Anyway, if you get to level one and get skills, even in the unlikely event you get attacked by an oak, you can deal with the least. I won't impose it. After that, I don't even want to be forced to fight. However, in the current situation, there will be a difference in safety between level 0 and level 1."

Of course, I'll follow up if you'll still be active in the fight afterwards.

Me and Alice alone forever, sooner or later, the limits come.

That was also evident in yesterday's battle.

Small action does, however, improve the efficiency of experience.

But when something goes wrong, recovery becomes extremely difficult.

In yesterday's case, that was Alice's disregard for orders.

I should have abandoned Alice then.

Fortunately, I managed to win.

But I don't want to cross that critical line again.

To do this, I needed insurance.

It doesn't have to be a sincerely trustworthy partner.

I want someone who can support me and Alice if necessary.

I want enough hands out of my throat.

Besides, if you are based in this gymnasium, you will also need personnel to protect the base.

Even on second thought, I was fortunate to be able to sleep in bed last night.

If this were a wild boarding house, would you have slept satisfactorily?

I don't even know if I could have rested safely in the first place.

I'll do it.

Thus, the first person to raise his hand was Alice's best friend, as expected.

"I don't want to just run anymore. Besides, I'm not sure Alice's gonna be able to protect me."

I joke. That's what I say, and I laugh at Alice.

Alice replied with a bitter laugh, "I don't care if you're protected," she said.

"I will protect Alice! Not the other way around!

That's what I was saying. I'm gonna turn around.

"So let me in your party, too, Mr. Cuz"

"Uh, which side of my party will dominate, so it's especially dangerous... well, okay"

She would go crazy in death to protect Alice, too.

I don't think Alice would be betrayed as long as she likes me, although she might lose her hand to protect me.

No, wait, wait, wait. What if I happen to love Alice?

In a sexual sense, of course.

He's furiously jealous of me...

Look at the occasional face.

Yeah? And I nodded innocently.

"What. Did you fall in love with me?

"Uh-huh?

Alice looks at me and alternates.

The girl who identified herself as Alice's best friend grinned.

"Uh, Occasion. What scratches around in vain..."

"What, you mean me and Alice, you want both?

"Hey, here."

Alice made her face red or blue, she seemed busy.

The blink still makes fun of me, but I ignore it moderately.

Yeah, let's let it go.

I guess I should leave aside the possibility that Occasion is a lesbian.

Maybe she's not that type of person.

Or I don't think I'm thinking that deep.

"What about the other one?

"I'll do it too."

Shiki went.

"I'll never see you like that again. Even so, don't even bother joining Hoya's party or something. Honestly, I don't want to face the oak as much as possible. But I don't even like being helpless. That's why Heya. I'm sorry, but just get me an oak."

Of course I understand.

The next time I raised my hand was yesterday, when the Occasion was one of two middle-aged freshmen who said they helped.

"I'll do it"

"You..."

"Kanya Tagami (Tatsumiya - Mia). I want you to join Senior Cuz's party, too."

Kanya Tanami was an even thinner girl than Alice.

Small, not a hundred and fifty centimeters tall.

Features include lustrous dark hair to the shoulders, some decent eyes, and a child's face.

Or almost elementary school. No, she was a junior in middle school until six months ago, so, naturally, maybe.

"Magic, I want to use"

"Uh, right. If you fight with magic, it doesn't matter about your physique or anything. But I guess I could call you Mia... Mia, it's not gonna be dangerous."

"Cancer Accepted"

Are you kidding me, I looked Mia in the eye.

My eyes look back at me. [M]

Um, I don't know.

"My brother's in the High Department."

"Your brother?

"Third Grade, Group 2"

"In the first place, I don't know anyone named Tagomiya."

"... yes"

"You mean you want to go see him. He wants us to do that."

Mia nodded Kokon.

I see, I guess you mean your brother and kid.

"Even such a bad brother, my brother is my brother. I need to protect you."

... They're a little different.

Honestly, I wish all the people in the High Department were doomed.

Her brother might know about me, too.

Through that person, I might tell one of these people what a pitiful person I was.

Nevertheless, there would be no choice but to think that far at this stage.

Seeing such a tragedy yesterday, she still seems willing to fight.

At least for a day or so today, you can see how it goes.

What? Even when it's time, Alice and I must be on my side.

Think of it that way, other than Alice and the occasional party members, Mia alone is fine.

Even if Mia has a flirt, she won't lose if she fights three to one.

"At least, I can't allow a high ministry investigation right now. Nevertheless, I think we will soon need to extend our legs to the High Authority as well. Let's find out then."

"That's fine. I don't like waiting in silence."

In Mia's words, I expected.

Which begins with how she can kill an orc.

After that ritual of passage, I'll try to ask you again if you want to be a party member.

I said so earlier, but I don't think everyone in this room has the guts to kill an oak.

I think half would be a good place at best.

No, I thought.

With Mia as a cutter, one hand rose after the other. In the end, everyone vowed to kill Orc.

Apparently, yesterday's tragedy made them more prepared than I imagined.

"Okay. Well, let's start."

I declare to everyone. [M]

"Dig the pit!

Highly, declare so.

Everyone but Alice will have a decent face.
