Chapter 2

"---Ha!?"

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was the gray ceiling.

Cracks all over the place, looking at the ceiling where the sunshine was plugged in from the cracked gap, tilting his neck to see why he was sleeping here.

"Hmm, what...? Why am I here...?"

Maybe I was trying to get home from school with an umbrella, and then I ran into Shishihara-san and I was surrounded by a magical team and some light....

"Ah, Shishihara-san!"

As he woke up, he looked around.

The surroundings were full of debris and I didn't think it would be a very crowded place.

If you look closely at the place where you slept, it seems that you slept on a platform like an altar, and from the side, it seems that you were sacrificed at some kind of ritual.

"Nah, what? This place... No, wait, we have to figure out what's going on..."

When I got back from school, a magical formation broke out at the feet of Shishihara, who was walking by accident.

Just within that range, I got caught up too dazed. [M]

"The shock of that time... maybe I was hit?"

I was halfway into the magic formation, and I was thrown out of the magic formation in the middle of the transition, right?

So, unlike where they were supposed to take him, he was stunned in a place like a ruin he didn't know anything about.

……

……

"What are you talking about?!"

Strike the student bag that was transferred with him on the ground and scream.

I really don't understand.

Why should I be thrown into a place that I'm not even sure about in Japan!?

"Oh, my God, did that fly me to a place like this!? That's what happened!?"

Can I go home instead!?

For now, I only feel my life is in danger!?

After a few minutes of shouting complain at the ruins where there was no one, I realized that I could do nothing even if I sighed and decided to check my belongings first.

"Bags for smartphones, pencil boxes, umbrellas... yeah, I don't think it's useful at all..."

My phone is out of range.

Besides, the battery level was 3%, just a few minutes before it became heavy.

I don't have anything that I can rely on with my belongings.

Well, is there an exit or something? In the meantime, I'd like to get out of a dim spot where the sun barely plunges in.

"Something, something...."

Something like an exit is in there.

However, the pile of rubble only leaves enough holes for one person to pass through, and we don't know if there's any further.

I'd like to go through there after I've looked into this place a little bit more.

I think so, looking for something around the place where I woke up, I find something behind the altar.

I don't see it well in the shadow of the altar, but it's the size of a human being.

No, this is more of a human...

"Shit, corpse!?"

Skeletonized human remains.

Fear trembles too much when I fall behind a surprise. [M]

So, this guy's body is here, like me... and he can't leave like that...?

"Me, I've been here forever...."

Bad imagination doesn't stop.

Seeing the reality in front of you, you're about to break your heart.

At that time, you can hear something like a noise from a hole that seems to be an exit.

As I trembled my shoulders, something like a small black animal crawled out of the hole so that I could pass for one person.

"See, cat...? Here, in here...?"

……!

It's a black cat.

In the dark shadows, the cat glowed with suspicion without ringing.

The gaze was directed at me as I pulled out of my hips with my white bones in front of me.

"......!"

It looked like a normal cat that I watched in the video or from afar, but I didn't think it was a cat.

Another creature in the form of a cat.

Intuitively thinking so, the black cat on the rubble showed a strange leap on the spot and attacked me.

"Heh?"

An animal attacked me - I couldn't have reacted to a black cat that was attacking me with its forelegs wide open, because I lived without such worries.

As he did so, he was pushed down by a black cat who had bitten his body on his chest and hit his back on a cold cobblestone.

If I opened my eyes to the pain, there was a black cat's face with teeth peeled out at the tip of my eyes and nose.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Until now, I hadn't thought cats were cute, but I loved cats so much! I watched a lot of videos!! I hate cats so much, but I wanted to touch cats all the time! Life is help, life is help!"

……

When humans are hunted down, they talk about everything.

A black cat who had a serious look at my face, begging for life with tearful eyes, touched my jaw with a small forefoot and moved his face to the right and left as if to confirm.

Ah, it's a meatball... and I was wondering if I could die anymore, and the black cat surprisingly turned away from me.

"Sleepy. Humans?"

"... what?"

Did the cat talk?

What, are you lying, a cat?

Could it be that I just hated animals and could actually talk like a cat?

To confuse me, the black cat moves his tail.

"Surprised. I didn't expect anyone to get lost here anymore. This is insane... hmm, this magic."

"Nah, nah... why is the cat talking..."

"No, I'm not a cat."

A black cat with a slightly dull face.

What if it wasn't a cat? Something about an overseas cat?

"Don't you see? I'm a shape-shifter. Not a cat, but a monster."

"Shape... shifter? Mamono?"

"Mmm, don't you know about me or the monster? This is another strange person coming in."

Piang and the black cat that got off me jump on the altar. [M]

Just as he stretched his spine to look down at me, he spoke clearly to me with a beautiful voice that often passed by.

"First, we should talk about each other."

A black cat that talks next to a phrase that was thrown to an unexplained place.

And shapes, what a monster.

I don't know all about it, but at least I thought I could trust the existence in front of me when I spoke rationally.
