In the evening, Midori walked tirelessly through the depths of the forest of Okuri and said, "Beyond this, the deepest part. I found a placard that says," No one but the people involved is allowed to enter. "

"Hey, there's a rumor that there's a treasure mirror in the back of Kijima, right?"

I've already seen the real thing, though.

But there may be some clues left.

Midori tried to step in, but it stopped.

"The barrier is stretched."

"I told you that Maple D is dangerous, but I didn't ask how it is dangerous." There is a strong demonic aura.

Tiredness puts her hands on her chin and thinks about it.

"I want to check inside." But I don't know if I can get in on my own, so I'll ask Maple D for permission. "

"Sister Maple, I have to go see you right away. I don't have a cell phone."

That's why Midori headed for the garden of spiritual flowers.

I met Maple D in the Garden of Spiritual Flowers, but I wasn't feeling well. I don't make flowers, I just sit in a chair and stare at the void with a sad face.

"Huh ~? What's going on?" Sister Maple, I'm not doing well. "

"There was something... unpleasant about it"

Midori calls out, and Maple D smiles for a moment.

"Yumeno pointed out that I was the survivor of the Prison Rei family. Yumeno also said that he was the survivor of the Prison Rei family, and that he knew why the Prison Rei family had been destroyed."

“So why are you depressed? Oh, excuse me, but don't say anything hard you don't want to say.”

"In fact, I know the reason that led to the death of the Prison Rei family. There's a resistance to talking about this."

"Actually, we know that, too." Yesterday, I dug up the memory of the consolation monument. "

Is that so?

Hearing the tired words, Maple D exhaled heavily.

"Before I was born. My grandparents got away with it. Yumino is probably in the same position as me. Yumeno... thought he wanted to rebuild the Rei House. By being bound to me."

"It's better to stop with that guy, right?" How do you feel about Maple D? "

"I'm sorry."

When Midori asked with an openly disgusting face, Maple D smiled strangely and said everything.

"But --- you think about the feelings of your ancestors." I also have the feeling that I don't want to end Ju Li's family. It's probably in that dreamland, I guess. "

"Hey, it's wrong to choose a partner with a clue right now." Don't worry about it. "

"I know. Thank you, Midori."

Midori said vigorously, and Maple D smiled happily and thanked her.

"What can I do for you, by the way?"

"I need permission to go deeper."

Maple D's face became cloudy when I told her what to do.

"It's dangerous. If you go, I'll go."

"How dangerous is it?"

"An area of chaos where invisible marauders spread." In the past, it was also used as a training ground, but because there were too many casualties, it was prohibited to use it. Something uncertain - something difficult to describe - appears and attacks unidentified people one after another. "

"I know that." It's a unique phenomenon that occurs in subspace where the dimensions are highly skewed. "

When I heard about Maple D, I was tired.

”Hmph... that's what I'm talking about”

Midori was unaware of such a presence.

"I've been in a similar space before." In an area that is too far away from the normal space we live in, the appearance and nature of the substance are far apart, making it difficult to recognize. This is a case where strange things that have become obscured are harmful to each other by merely trying to contact those who have stepped into the area. I don't even know if the opponent is hostile. ”

"Maybe the treasure mirror of Kishima was hidden in it. Or even now..."

Midori remembers entering the world between this world and the eternal world that she once experienced in the garden of Atsuko, listening to the story of her exhaustion.

"It's quite dangerous to look into it. Be careful."

That's why Midori and I took Maple D and came to the deepest part again.

"In the past, when it was being used for training, it was said that the deepest exploration was also being conducted. During the investigation, some people suddenly went insane and their personality was transformed. I don't know how that happened."

On the way here, Maple D said something like that.

Maple D breaks the barrier. As a matter of fact, if I wanted to do that, I could break the barrier with tiredness, or I could slip through without solving it. It was likely that Tsubakiro had slipped through it.

There are no wooden paths anymore. He is walking on a stripped dirt road.

For a while, the demonic aura and spiritual aura were only more intense, and there was no difference from the normal space only in appearance. Of course, I didn't see any spirit flowers.

However, when I went somewhat deeper, I saw a big change in appearance. The space is blatantly distorted.

Besides, the surroundings suddenly became dark. The sky turned black.

Suddenly the sun went down?

“No, I don't shine the sun, but I see what's around me.”

Midori is around, and I'm tired.

The tree, grasshopper, and three people are reflected firmly in the black background. However, the trees are distorted. I can see the water and the stone, but I can't see the soil. And the trees, grass, soil, and slopes in front of you are clearly visible, but if you look a little further away, you can't see the landscape in the back. The light and darkness are distorted. Even though I'm in the dark, I can say that I can see everything nearby, and that light doesn't reflect from a distance.

Even though there's no sunlight, it's strange that trees are growing.

Midori looked around and murmured with a strange face.

"Here we go... just be careful"

Maple D draws attention with a strange look.

From the darkness, many kinds of indescribable anomalies emerged.

A small swarm of squares emitting a pale light. Something semi-transparent like an old woman's breasts hanging down and stretching out. The vortex of gigantic orange light is constantly changing as letters disappear in the center. A flock of yellow crosses flying with a huge left and right sway.

"Obviously we recognize this. They're on their way. They're coming. Ready to fight."

"I don't feel hostile..." Is this a machine or a phenomenon? "

"I don't know, everything is unknown. Unidentified presence"

While Tired and Maple D exchanged conversations, a translucent object like an old woman's breast crawled toward her in a crawling motion.

When Maple D cast a spell, the soil at his feet rose up into countless balls of soil, crumpling and pouring towards a translucent object like an old woman's breast.

When the ball of earth hits a translucent object like an old woman's breast, it spreads the soil on the surface of the object, and eventually falls to the ground completely into the soil.

(What are these guys......)

Midori tries to analyze it first.

In the meantime, a swarm of yellow crosses that continued to sway heavily from side to side came in at a higher speed.

"Human-eating fireflies"

Tiredness attempts to intercept. There is an overwhelming number of light-extinguishments created by exhaustion, rather than a herd of yellow crosses.

The fireflies shot through the yellow crosses one after another. So I thought I could intercept it, and all the yellow crosses got bigger. It was as if she ate a human eating firefly and became enlarged in that amount, which was reflected in her tired eyes. No, I guess it is.

"Black Curtain"

When the yellow cross absorbs the energy system attack, the tiredness spreads what looks like a black cloth forward. It's a way to open a gateway to a dark planet.

I checked that all the yellow crosses that were approaching were sucked into the black curtain, and the black curtain was extinguished.

"Uhee, that's amazing." This is... my life already... I have a soul too... "

Midori moaned after finishing the analysis.

"Sounds like it." It seems very different from us in terms of the way we live, and it doesn't look like much, but it's a living thing. ”

Tiredness was also sneakily analyzed.
