Nearly a month has already passed since I was brought to this “castle”.

Meals are well given three times a day and freedom of movement is also allowed to some extent.

There were also many entertainment items available to crush boredom, such as video games and comics brought in from the original world, but Akiki Kokanai didn't really get to those things. I also tried to get a novelize book on all the social games I liked, but I couldn't really get it to open.

I once asked for a retro game or something that I rarely play. but it also still stopped while I barely did it. Kyosuke Akagi should have particularly liked these games, but I still don't know how good or funny they are.

It's been a month in this castle, which means that nearly a month has passed since Suo's death.

Akeno taught me various things because 'unlike Suo, I don't like to hide things'.

That we have been brought into this world by the plans of our blood clan. That Akai Akikaka, a queen of the class, was a member of that bloodline. Talk about factors that blood families have, or "filters”. Talk about the ability to be called Phase 2. Talk about sequences in the blood family. Talk about the purpose of blood clans.

It was Akeno who killed Rota Eagle Tail.

It was Kyosuke Akagi who murdered Suo.

When he heard those stories, Koganei was unable to process the information and could only respond vaguely. Nothing like anger sprung up, and instead, I remembered something that I felt lost after a while.

I lost my chance to see him forever without even getting an opportunity to apologize to him. You could have grabbed Akeno then. But Koganei didn't do it, and he couldn't. Even myself, maybe they haven't accepted Eagle Tail's death.

So what about Suo's death? Kyosuke Akagi, who took my friend's life - if you can tell me if I can beat him up, I still can't. Would the fact that Kyosuke is Kokanai's first friend at school have anything to do with that?

In the end, the presence of Akiki Kokanai may be a dull creature to the life and pain of others.

It was just a month later, that day, that we took action.

Akeno, as usual, comes to see how Koganei is doing. But he said there was no further reason than to say, 'Because Suo cared'. There was a formal apology for killing the eagle tail, but that was all. Apparently Akeno himself, he doesn't like Koganei that much.

But thanks to Akeno, Koganei was able to use Phase 2's ability, Spirit Possession. A combination of rare races and rare abilities. If you are a Pawn class blood family, you will not be opponent. For this reason, as mentioned earlier, free movement in the "castle” is also allowed.

Kokanai has not been injected with blood factor because, once it has been hematized, it is necessary to consume high elf blood regularly to prevent thirst. High Elves are a rare species whose numbers have been greatly reduced, and their blood is not readily available.

In other words, Koganei is not currently under the king's control. If you try to escape or rebel, maybe it's possible.

It had been a long time since he had left the room and Koganei wandered through the “castle”. Where is this base fulfilled? I remember crossing the ocean about twice, but Koganei doesn't know anything more.

Eventually Koganei stepped into the king's sleeping room.

The "king" barely sustains his life by floating his body like a borough rag in a flask. In front of that “king” flask, a girl sitting on the throne is tied to a chain and kept alive only to speak the words of the "king”. This sight is so ugly that Koganei frowns even when he sees it.

From the throne, he speaks. Seeing, the two figures were exchanging words with the spokesperson girl.

"... hmm?

A girl sitting on the throne gives her a fuzzy face.

The gaze was directed towards Kokanai. Koganei makes a small meeting.

"An example high elf? It's been a long time since I've seen you."

"... Hi"

I have a strong aversion to the king in the flask who is making her talk, along with the cheap pity for the girl.

There was a thought in Koganei that they had transferred to this world, that the eagle tail had died, and that Suo had died because of this “king” if they followed the original.

Of course, without the king, I couldn't have gained a temporary sense of pleasure with the power of the "power of the high elves," or a friendship with a willing man named Suo. It couldn't have been more interactive with the eagle tail.

But thanking the king of that flask is unborn.

"What were you talking about?

Because he doesn't like silence, Koganei asks and proceeds to the flask.

Two men and women standing in front of the flask smashed their tongues.

"I was giving Glenn and Sink directives for the future."

Borrow the girl's mouth, the king answers.

Glenn, Sink is about these two men and women. A man in a tuxedo, a woman in a gothic dress. Perhaps it's a ready-to-wear outfit for this world, but it looks Japanese, so I can't get rid of the cosplay odor, Kokanai thought.

From what I've seen, it's not Pawn. As a rule, it's Knight and Bishop who act in a two-man cell.

"I'll see you first. I'm Glenn."

A less friendly voice, the man said it better.

"I'm the sink. You're the high elf that's been creeping through the gate. I wonder if Akeno brought them here."

"Yeah, well..."

So Koganei noticed that even as Glenn and Sink were talking, they were holding hands with each other all the time.

It's a rear charge. There is still a thought circuit in Koganei's head that makes him think about conditional reflexes, explode. I just don't have any more friends while we can laugh at it.

"Glenn and Sink called back the other day from the northern front they had been pulling"

“Wang" explains to Koganei.

"In view of the delay in the gate plan due to Tomorrow's Kaori departure, we need to change our policy a little bit in the future"

Gate plan. The Kokanais. A plan to monster four groups of students for two years and follow the distribution.

Akeno's story says that nearly half the students in the class, including Koganei, could expect a comparable fighting ability to the Luke and Queen classes by reaching Phase 3. It was originally planned to throw it on all fronts and cut it all the way to the centre of the Central Empire at once.

But the plan was crushed by the betrayal of Red Well. The march to the Central Empire is essential for the revival of the “King”. We're going to pull out the bloodline, which continues to skirmish humans everywhere, and switch to another operation.

"Did you know that Luke“ Scar Red ”, who fought Queen, came back to the castle seriously injured?

Glenn has asked, so I shake Koganei Hakabushi.

“The king” laughed.

"Red is a loyal man. I guess it worked after expecting it to be. fact, one of some of the results I expected is now being brought"

"What did you expect?"

"Your classmates have probably been discrete across the continent. It was a deliberate transfer accident. Tomorrow Kaoru didn't kill them in the aftermath of the clash, and I guess it was a bitter choice to defeat Red."

Is your classmate discrete? All over the continent?

Koganei was upset. In Akeno's story, they're running out of filters. Does that mean my classmates have fallen apart in that situation? It's too dangerous. If you do poorly, you could be exterminated or captured individually.

At that time, Koganei did not think that if they were captured by their blood, they would be able to see each other again, etc. If a certain number of classmates get together, the blood family will probably start injecting factors to get themselves to Phase 3. In that case, neither myself nor them will be able to defy the bloodline.

"We've already orchestrated the Pawns and moved on to capture the people who fell apart around Shakkow. The directive we're putting out to Glenn and the others is an extension of that."

At last, Koganei stiffened his body to tension. This means that the eye-catcher is already on.

With a vain expression, the girl's mouth continued to spin pale, the king's words. The next word is directed at two blood clans, not Koganei.

"Expansion of the forces of war must proceed, for the two of us will now be directed to the new continent, but there is much to be done. I told you."

"I know.“ King. "

Glenn said, squeezing Sink's hand tightly.

"We will ensure that your directive is implemented. The likes of Suo and the others will never tread again."

To the words, Koganei smiles slightly. Because Glenn's mouth received a nuance that seemed to belittle Suo's existence.

Glenn and Sink bow their heads to the “king” and glance at Koganei before leaving the hall. They said they were going to the new continent. Is there a clue to the fragmented classmates? I tried to keep up with them somehow, but I can't come up with the best excuse.

The girl who sat on the throne broke the thread and shut up completely. The “king” shut his mouth as if he didn't give a shit about Koganei's trends or anything.

Go, go, go, go. The wasteland is spreading without grass. As if three months ago, Kyosuke remembers wandering the wilderness of the western continent. What's different then is that now we don't even know where we're supposed to go.

The day is high, indicating that the time is probably after noon. The sunshine that shines brightly will not take your strength away from Kyosuke, the skeleton, but Rin is the one who worries.

Rin has not merged with Kyosuke, but is slowly crawling on the ground and moving.

"... you okay?

"What, yeah. Ha-ha-ha!

I moved my body and answered.

"Is Kyosuke okay? No physical damage or anything?

"There's no such thing. It's okay."

Rin always has a distinctly low number of healthy mouths. I'm sure it's not at all hectic. But how did you pursue it here? When I was lost, Rin switched to another topic first.

"Guys, I wonder where he's gone"

Sure, the most important thing to worry about right now is there.

"I don't know where we came from."

A clash between Red Well and Luke occurred on board. There is no doubt that the collision of forces caused Kyosuke and the others to transfer. I don't even know the detailed mechanism, but probably Red Well moved into action with some anticipation that this would happen. Fight Luke as hard as you can and the ship will break. Metastasis was intentionally caused.

But until where it was flown, the adjustment probably didn't work. It is this situation, in which the other classmates find nothing, that tells the story.

"Ugh...... Kyosuke."

Rin said, speaking like an animal.

"What?

"I'm hungry."

"Oh, speaking of which, you haven't eaten anything..."

This place is not so far from the sea. When directions are found by any means, because the policy to be followed in the future will change depending on which direction the sea is on.

If the sea is on the north side, it is likely that this is a further southbound location than Albadumba. It's called the New World. I hear the northern part of the old continent has a cold climate, so it's not here in boulders.

Is that a meal?

"Is it edible? I wonder if we'll find it here."

"I wonder if I can cook as they find me...... No kid can start a fire, no cookware, no Cai..."

As I said, my legs were oriented towards nature and the sea. It seems more likely than not to look in the wilderness.

The sandy beach spreads and plants grow a little nearby. It's a cedar plant I've never seen before. Rin stretched her body out into the leaves, tearing them apart and swallowing them. but shortly afterwards, spit out the leaves violently.

"Pee! Pee! First off!!

"The guy who ate the shrimp shell too?

"Oh, I did that..."

Kyosuke also took the Siddha plant and threw it in her mouth. The fierce bitterness and acidity spreads through your mouth. Even if you spit it out, it doesn't have the ability to spit it out, so the plants just then fall down the sand through their throats.

"Sure, I can't eat this"

"Right?

"And even so, I'm not going to be able to fish..."

I don't have food.

Hey, isn't this, like, a pretty bad situation?

It only took Kyosuke a while to reconfirm the current state of ill health after nearly three months of inactivity. But I was still blessed then. Naturally if you think about it. That dungeon was an institution where blood families fed themselves to live a survival life.

Not here. Not only will bees' survival abilities be tested, but there is also a place where luck is involved: is there really something to eat? Kyosuke fully rotated her brain to find something that seemed usable from the contents of a book she had previously read in the library.

"(Note that there is no brain)"

I guess I can still afford it in my heart because it's to the point of coming up with a crappy joke.

"Whatever, we just have to dig the beach and look for shellfish and crabs, dude..."

"Hmmm, it's a soggy life..."

Kyosuke stayed put and decided to replace her bone fingers with a bear hand and dig sand into the tunnel.

"Kyosuke, it's probably the tide now."

Rin said so, pointing to something like a fuzzy bump stuck on a slightly higher rock.

"Oh, sounds like it"

"And does that mean that the shellfish in the sand have holes that are putting out water pipes?"

"Uh, right. Clam eyes."

Tips for searching for clams in a tidal hunt. At full tide, clams in the ground drill holes in the sand to breathe and let out water pipes. Most of all, if it's a bustling tidal hunting venue, there are too many people's footsteps, and the "clam eyes” are quickly pulled in.

"You're as knowledgeable as ever."

"Eh heh. More compliments."

The problem is that this is a different world. Will there be a shellfish called clams?

On the route to Albadamba, some of the seafood caught by the fish-dwelling brothers and sisters and Sugiura also had quite a few fish seen on Earth. And that means I feel like I can expect clams.

"Kyosuke, clams live on sloping beaches!

"Why are you so rich in trivia like that..."

As Rin followed Rin's words and searched for the part of the beach that was sloping, and the part that was loosened by the waves, he was able to confirm that a hole like "Clam's Eye” was empty on the beach.

"Dr. Princess Shui, is this a good place?"

"Um, good. Dig."

Rin can't dig because he's slime. I just have to dig the sandy beach with Kyosuke's bear arm (bone), but still, if I dig about five centimeters, the clams will come out.

Although there is no guarantee that this is a breathing hole for clams.

As Kyosuke digs the beach with the crisp, the two small shells begin to exhume slightly.

"Whoa!!

Rin gave an inspiring voice.

"Shellfish! Shellfish, this clam!?

"I wonder. Actually, it's poisonous. It's possible that shellfish are unique to the other world."

"But you look clammy."

Pick up the shellfish that came out, and the two take it seriously.

At times like this, if there was Okumura or Five Minutes Kawahara, they would have poisoned me. Races like orcs and goblins have a very strong gastrointestinal system that never breaks your body as much as you ate poison.

In terms of physical sturdiness and bad eating, Rin is actually also a good battle. It's just that she takes the toxin she eats straight into her body, so suddenly there's a life-threatening risk if it was a deadly poison.

Still, Kyosuke asked somehow.

"Rin, do you want some?

"What!? Hey, Nama... I don't like it!

"You were eating shrimp shells?

"Hmmm...... I wonder why..."

I feel a little uncomfortable with Rin's words and actions. It doesn't mean I feel like someone else. However, Rin, who even took the alias of the triangle corner, seems a little passive about food.

Well, the triangle corner itself, because it's not an honorable title, or maybe I'm trying to be aware of my maiden heart and consume a humane meal. The kind of imitation that pursues it doesn't have too much delicacy, so I don't even compliment you.

"The question is, how do we sand this out?"

"You don't have a bucket or anything."

Kyosuke and Rin crumble with clams gathered together in their hands.

"It's like I can store other water...... Ah!!"

"What?"

"Kyosuke-kun's skull!

"You're kidding me!

Kyosuke screamed back with a conditional reflex.

"You'll have more or less eyes, ears and holes - but!

"That's where I'll block it..."

"If you can do that, Rin would be better off in the form of a pool and pouring some sea water."

"Yes...... I don't like being soggy..."

Rin now is like his whole body has become a taste bud. Besides, if you immerse yourself in sea water for a long time, it's still life-threatening again due to osmotic pressure. It would be easier to stop.

"Well, you can eat it if you want, even if you're not out of sand."

"Wow. Sounds so jarring..."

"The question is, how do you start a fire..."

Among the classes, there are actually a limited number of students who can start a fire. After Koganei disappeared, he was still in charge of Ryuzaki. And then there's Ei, Sakuma, Kaorko, etc.

It is difficult to start a fire in a situation where there are no tools or abilities.

"Oh, yeah. Because it's Cancun Lighting. What do you mean, make it dry?

"Not bad, but I'm out of a mess tonight"

"Right..."

Well, it's not nashi as an option. In that case, I'd like to dig a lot more and dry a lot.

It's when Kyosuke and the others are turning their minds around about the treatment of clams.

Not so far away, I could hear the sound of a big explosion happening. face all the way up and gaze. Then something like screaming and yelling, slowly approaching. This is the sound of battle.

"It's Azuna's voice."

"Your hand wash!

To Kyosuke's voice, Rin nodded.

Attendance number 37, your hand wash azuki. Affiliation to the service department. My parents are cleaners. I have a slight cleanliness problem and my hobby is an unusual child who collects detergents. She wasn't very prominent in the class, she was a dear girl.

The reincarnated monster is Azuki Wash, a Japanese monster. Not a very combative type. Is she in the fight?

"Let's go, Rin!

Kyosuke tries to rush the clams out onto the sandy beach.

Naturally, Rin said, 'Yeah!' I shouted and thought it was something that would follow me.

But the truth is, it only took about a beat until I had her reaction.

"Mmm...... yeah, let's go. Kyosuke."

Rin tends to hesitate slightly and merges with Kyosuke. Kyosuke and Rin, who gained incredible physical abilities by Stream Cross, freshly kicked the sand and rushed to the sounder.

If you've been running for a while, you'll also see the battle situation. Your hand wash had been driven away by several men and women. It took Kyosuke a while to understand the situation, even after seeing how it was going.

"No way, are you human...?

Yes, it's human. Rin, who wraps Kyosuke's body, was found to make her whole body nervous.

The chastened Azuki, "Monster Azuki Wash”, is also a monster that looks so much like a human being. A few armed people are chasing her around looking like she doesn't mind if I say she's with a girl.

There are five humans in all. There are about three of them with weapons. Two men, one woman. Slightly behind from there, there is one man and one woman dressed in robes, cassocks, etc.

An adventurer, Kyosuke thought intuitively.

It is a mercenary presence that disengages from the reign of the Empire and acts freely by organizing guilds. Often, when a merchant crosses the sea or travels long distances, always ask the adventurer for an escort. Other than that, it's their job to pioneer an undeveloped land or exorcise monsters.

In the presence that it is believed that two years and four groups of classmates can become somewhat cooperative than they are out of the reign of the empire.

But the “monster” they are now attacking and trying to exterminate is Kyosuke's classmate. You can't miss this.

"Kyusuke-kun!

Rin called out.

"What, Rin!

"Are you going to fight those people!?

"If you need it!

Of course Kyosuke is not going to sue violence from the start. But if the opponent only sees this one as a monster and won't listen to me, then fight. That's all I'm prepared for, I'm going to have piled up before.

"But... you're human, aren't you?

"Oh."

"Kyosuke, are you okay fighting humans? Um... can you kill those people?

"If I have to."

To my surprise, I had no hesitation in spewing the word.

"I killed Suo, and I killed Tokihara. They were human, too. If necessary, I will."

"Oh yeah...... You killed us..."

The crushing Rin's voice was slightly trembling. Yes, it was Rin who was merging with Kyosuke when he killed Suo, when he killed Tokihara, and when he killed Pawn, whose name was unknown. Kyosuke and Rin have killed three “humans” so far.

There was a slight feeling that my body would get heavier. On both hands and feet, it feels like you're wearing lead.

"Rin...?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Something, I..."

Again, it's not okay. It's not "at all hectic".

Rin now, something is wrong.

No, or a little, what was odd was "Rin so far" or Kyosuke herself, and Rin now is just showing a "normal" reaction, isn't it?

Kyosuke had remembered the word 'filter' issued by Hongjing just before the transfer accident occurred.

But right now, I can't afford to care for Rin any more.

"Rin, you need to wash your hands!

"What...?

"You can't fight now! I feel that way!

Your hand wash was desperate to escape. His breath becomes constant and his wounds are noticeable. She noticed this one with a slight grin of relief. Behind that, the adventurers chasing Azuki also notice the presence of Kyosuke and Rin.

"But Kyosuke..."

"I can fight. Unique!"

It's only a spiritual story. How far can you go to fulfill yourself against adventurers who have formed a party?

"Hi, Princess Shui! Utsurugi!"

Azuki screams and runs straight here. Rin took her jumping in.

"Azuma!

"Ugh... I was scared. Looks like I was scared..."

I don't even have time to be relieved by the sound of tears. Kyosuke stepped forward to shelter the two of them.

The adventurers who have been chasing us also stop moving in front of Kyosuke. A leader and a man with a sword shook his eyebrows and uttered words in surprise.

"Skeleton and... slime? That's an odd combination."

Next to the man with the sword, the woman with the pole ax, the man with the dagger.

And behind it, a man dressed in a robe with a cane. There is still a woman dressed in something like a white cassock and carrying a cane. Two warriors, one explorer, two magic jobs, etc. With his knowledge of fantasy games, Kyosuke analyzed it that way.

"Are you adventurers?

The first voice, when asked so, the adventurers bother.

The fact that Skeleton talks is still not common sense in this world.

"Hey Wombat, were there any talking skeletons?

A man from the leader asks the man next door who looked like a bandit.

"The undead, resurrected by the famous Necromancer, says he will have himself, but as a species, don't ask."

"Didn't the top species of hernites use magic? But I don't hear you say you can speak."

A woman with Paul Axe keeps saying to a bandit man.

But there is no indication that you will respond to these words. Kyosuke decided to overlap her words with caution and patience, caring for Rin and Azuki behind her.

"We're not going to harm you. So this is the place..."

"Don't answer me, Lesbon."

Not to mention Kyosuke, the wizard-like man told the leader's man so.

"It's not a skeleton, there's also the possibility of a pseudo-species like Mimic"

"Oh, soul-sucking. Impossible. If you keep talking, your soul gets sucked little by little."

A bandit man called Wombat nods.

Not a very good flow. Kyosuke was in a hurry.

"Wait, that's not it! Nothing. You just have to miss it! It's like you're after us..."

"What a good idea. You must be a rare monster."

The leader's man rebuilt his sword. Kyosuke is breathtaking.

"It's not just a skeleton, I'm sure."

"Bye,"

This is what the man told me, not to be insane, especially on that face, just to say the obvious.

"Let's knock it down"

Behind you, Rin and Azuki make a small scream. At the same time, three avant-garde positions standing forward have stormed at once with their weapons in place. Kyosuke turns around and screams.

"Rin, wash your hands! Run!"

But a thunderbolt burst into the air, and a blue lightning bolt landed around the Rins. A man in a robe used magic. Only one, a woman dressed like a priest, was bewildered and grated, but activates magic, as she ultimately decided to do.

Strange lights abound in the bandit's short knife that just barged in. Kyosuke had a chilly running feeling on her spine. That light felt like it was something you shouldn't touch.

"Whoa!!

"Eww......!

Avoid the blow of a bandit's man's short knife.

Go on, the leader's man wields his sword. Kyosuke, who had just avoided a short-knife, couldn't afford to just take a dodge there. The sword hits Kyosuke's shoulder bone hard. Bones made robust by Red Well's blood were never crushed, but they blow apart without withstanding the impact.

"Oh, you're surprisingly stiff. This guy!"

The leader's man screams.

"Then leave it to me!

The last thing that popped up was a big woman with a Paul Axe.

"Kyosuke!

Rin is screaming in the back. Sure, if you take that blow, there's not a single one. But his posture had already collapsed. The collaboration of the adventurers is brilliant. Already, Kyosuke is inevitable.

Here, Kyosuke was not a special victory enough to be prepared for “death”. If Kyosuke loses, then Rin and Azuki reach out. You can't die here.

Until the last moment, we have to find a way to live.

In front of me, the blade of the woman Paul Axe is imminent. We can't dodge it in time already. What other hands can you hit? Kyosuke desperately turns his mind around. How can we survive this situation?

But no matter how much I looked, I couldn't find anything like that. The situation is hopeless. I don't even see the slightest thread of counterattack.

"... damn whoa!!

Kyosuke's mouth was evil.

It can't be acceptable for Kyosuke to be so abrupt, so light, so everything will be "over”.

At that moment, a black flame unleashed by the cracking of the void swallowed the woman who stood up Paul Axe. A woman screams and Paul Axe is removed. Kyosuke saw the gap and took a slight distance.

The flame now is The Wesen Claw of Evil Flame (Yvil Flare).

Have other classmates come to help me? Sakuma or Caorco? That's what I thought, and when Kyosuke turned her gaze, there stood a presence there that she didn't anticipate at all.
