Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

When I returned to my room, the cold late-night air greeted the lord of the room.

"Well, I don't know..."

As for drifting protection, I used to take a nap with Mia and Leafia's intention to hang out over the years, and I'm not sleepy yet. We traveled to the world of our dreams before midnight.

"Mm."

For now, after reaching for the thermostat, that catches my eye. Behind the room, a large black box that sits dignified. In other words, there's a communication device.

Heavily consumed prototype, but as it stands, it is a usable specification for a day and a half. I have received permission to use it as I please.

…………

At the time of the commissioning earlier, the other said it was installed in the Belgrette room.

Celebrate a new year, with a continental history of 782 years. The month and day of Baiyan "Haku". The time is zero: 30. If you think by the standards of drift protection until last year, are you going to the neighborhood shrine for the first time?

In this other world, it is customary for prayers to be prayed across the days or for rituals to be performed called "The First" of Guardianship.

"The Beginning of Adoration" is the act of trying to activate the Divine Chant "Oracle" for the first time since the new year, which means making sure that you are still under God's asylum this year.

With some of these touches, this evening, celebrating the New Year's Eve Nivsuil from Phineasend, is arguably the night most people are awake in the course of the year.

I mean, what are you trying to say, Belgrette shouldn't be asleep yet either.

I think so. Is it too soon? Surprisingly natural myself, the drift guard was pushing the switch on the communication device.

……

Zazaza, and the characteristic murmur comes through.

"Hello, Belle. Good evening. - Oh, my God..."

A few hours ago, it took me so long to connect. It's not an immediate connection either.

"Hey......"

While I know, I talk strangely softly.

No response. It's no different, just noise like a sandstorm.

"Hello..."

The voices I uttered were strangely up, and the drift protection made me feel kind of sorry for myself.

(What are you doing? I...)

No matter how special the day is, as for time, midnight. Unlike the commissioning a few hours ago, it's not necessarily that Belgrette is near the comm gear.

But.

I couldn't spend time with you, so I want to hear your voice at least. Have a new year and I want to say something......

(What the heck, was I such a bitch...!? Eh, shit......!

Suddenly, there is an embarrassment in it that is hard to understand.

(I knew it would stop, stop...!

The moment I reached for the switch to turn off communication,

"... Lugo?

From the speaker, I heard the voice.

"No. Huh!? Be, Belle child!?

"Ah. I knew you were Lugo, right?

A voice I did want to hear, although it was noisy.

"Surprised -. All of a sudden, the lighting on the communication device started flashing. Oh, I hope you're healthy this year. The protection of the Creator, Jed Meteeu... '

Words of gentle blessing that seem to come to my attention about her appearance of praying. The uninspiring boy was at his best to give an unintelligible reply, "Uh, Bell Child is the one".

"So, what happened?

Hey, Belgrette's voice takes me seriously.

"No, uh,"

Her reaction was natural, and she was convinced and anxious.

By the way, I used the communication equipment after the commissioning, and early in the year... I have been contacted this late at night. Did something unusual happen?

Wouldn't it be strange if they received it that way? Now that Belgrette has actually responded, that's the idea that comes to mind.

"No, um... I just wanted to talk to Belle for a minute, what..."

I just have to be honest, more than connected though.

'Huh?... but already! What the fuck? I was wondering what happened... don't be surprised, Ugh.'

I thought it would piss me off, but it didn't seem like it.

"How are the Mias doing?

"Hmmm... I'm gonna wake up and have a new year - I was thrilled to say that... you were quiet around eleven o'clock..."

"Hehe. I knew it. '

"What about you? How did you spend all this time?

'Mm-hmm. Before midnight, everyone will be in the hall, praying... and when the new year is over, we'll have Elkatra's wine. This Elkatra is a tree native to the Principality of Risemary and has long been said to have the effect of conquering demons -'

We often have a chat that we don't love.

"Hmm. Sounds good, that wine"

'Yummy. Next time, I'll treat you to Lugo.'

"It bothers me, but I just don't have any booze..."

Belgrette's tone was crusher than usual, whether it was because he was drinking wine as previously mentioned, and he was felt rapping again. In this world - at least in Raindeer - you are allowed to drink alcohol even at the age of drinkers and Belgrettes.... Of course, I'm not going to drink it as a boy from modern Japan.

"No, how's Claire doing?

"Yeah? What the fuck, Lugo? You care about Claire?

Unexpectedly doubts his ears in response to Belgrette and the others.

'If she's that kid, she's talking to your father and your mother downstairs. Nfu. That kid totally got rid of the lizard, and he seems to be having fun talking to your father. Your father has already stretched it under his nose with joy. Your sister will be delighted. eheheheheheheheheheh'

……

Sister......? ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe! No, it's cute, but something's wrong, and what popped into my surprised eye of drifting protection was a pocket watch thrown out on my own floor. The time points to zero: 40.

"You said you drank wine after New Year's Eve... I think about it in time, and I'm in the middle of getting drunk right now in the middle of a progression..."

'I'm not drunk!

It was the moment when it was established that he was drunk.

"I wonder what everyone else is up to by now. Digos and Sakuragiri."

"What? Are you worried about Saeri?

"Why does that happen"

"So you care about Digos?

"Does it also activate against men..."

While talking to a drunken girl knight, if you notice, it's 1: 00 A.M.

Because the communication state also has unevenness, audio is also increasingly being bumped off everywhere.

"But... I don't know, wonder"

"Hmm? What?

"I can't believe you can talk to Lugo in correspondence like this"

"Oh...... yeah, for sure"

I felt like I was on the phone with Belgrette.

-;

"Ah...!

At the same time as her surprised voice, a loud, deafening murmur shivers the speaker.

"Duh, what's up?

"Communication technology has arrived. You said you'd call me later, so I'm sure you're Claire. '

"Oh well. Sounds like noise comes in when the technique flies over here in the middle of a communication. An unexpected new discovery. This conversation wasn't wasted as an exam operation, either."

"Pfft. Right. '

"Well, let's see about this. I've told you quite a bit."

"Ugh."

He was a boy I regret to say, but if Claire found out that we were alone in conversation like this, she wouldn't know what to say.

"Well, then, Lugo, the... Best wishes for this year. Good night. '

"Ah, oh. This way please...... Yeah, good night, Belle."

If you push the button in with the thought of a disconnect, the caller will be silent.

The two covert 'calls' ended while leaving a tickling feeling in their chests.

…………

Scratching his head poly, the driftshield stares seriously at the square device in front of him.

"I want it to be developed as a top priority..."

Earlier in the New Year, the boy in love, who could hear the voice of a thinker in an unexpected way, thought of it as smudging.

"... n"

In a dark room with thick curtains pulled to block the outside air.

If you erase Cantera, the space will be filled to a complete black monochrome. Furniture with a digital light source naturally did not exist, so there could not have been any kind of light that prevented sleep.

- Though.

(..., what...? Something glowing, and...?

Thinly opened eyelids, coming in through that gap - yellow flashing.

"Huh!"

Immediately after I recognized him, the drift protection jumped.

That's a communication device. A large box sitting in the back of the room, a small spherical surface mounted on the top of it, blinks busily with the chickens.

I didn't get a chance to see it because I skipped communication from here in the commissioning, but the brightness of this lamp signals reception.

That would mean communications are flying in from someone right now.

Nevertheless, there is only one opponent. Because the current communication equipment is only connected to the commissioning specifications and those installed in the Gertillude family.

Slipping quickly in front of the machine to roll on all fours, Liquid Protection pushed the receiving switch with the quiz show's early pressing momentum.

"Uh, yes, it's driftshield...!

"... Refuge?

"Ooh, Belle boy. What's up, at this hour?"

At this hour, she searched for her pocket watch by hand. I wonder what time it is now, though. I can't find the clock.

"I,... but"

Again, the communication state is not fragrant. The sound is interrupted.

"Um, you're feeling a little bumpy...... uh, what's up?

"I, ■ ■ but"

I wonder why.

That name sounded mixed multiple times. The voice. The voice of a girl I know.

Somewhat clear. Somewhat heterogeneous.

And ominous by the unusual.

"Hey, shield."

The voice calling the name is too natural.

As if I had picked that name many times. As if you have spoken that sound many times.

And as a matter of course, I said.

"I'll never let you get away with it."

Being aware that Bikun and his body had jumped, the flow protection quickly looked around him.

Dim own room. Morning light leaking from the gap in the curtain. Communication equipment in the back - is just a black box and sits there. The lamp is never flashing, or the sound is flowing from the speaker.

In the first place, the battery should be dead and unavailable anymore.

(……… dreams,)

What the hell was that early in the New Year, and Lifeguard gets up shaking his head.

"Are you going to have your first dream..."

That voice, which sounded vivid, is still sticking to my ear.

"... eh"

Wipe your ears unintentionally. It is impossible to check but of course something is attached.

…………

… and then also check under the trousers.

"... ho"

Like every Dearly Birthday, it didn't seem like it had to be the wings to do the laundry in the morning.

(Either there was no such element - it was a bit of a horror dream...)

It was echoing from beyond the communications equipment, the creaking voice of Belgrette.

(Never let them get away, or... Hmm, sounds like Yandere - or well, if Belko thinks that much of me, that's more of an ant -)

Think that far and accidentally hack.

(... Belle child, was it?

In retrospect, I didn't really hear the name over there. The connection is poor, and just hearing your voice doesn't make you sure who they are. There was some correspondence last night, or just a story that I thought was Belgrette without any doubt.

If it's not her, what the hell......

(... scared, huh? Stop)

It's just a dream in the first place. It's not like I care deeply either.

I stood up and pulled open the curtain so as to dispel the crisp finish. The dazzling morning light fills the room. The silver world that spreads out the window shines brightly.

Continental history, 782 years. The first morning opened the curtain without a thing.
