3.

The world is getting smaller.

First out of town, then downtown.

[Implementation of trauma is reduced.]

[Data could not be recovered.]

From the outskirts of the city, the bitter darkness slowly eroded into the streets. Slow down. Slow down. The darkness was like a living tentacle. I decided to call that ominous, dark mist a void.

“... I'm going to go to school early today. ”

I didn't see much. I couldn't see people's faces. I couldn't see the church steeple. I didn't see any signs stacked against the shop like a bark.

The world was stained with nothing.

“We have to go to the ranch and feed the rabbits. ”

But then again, something came to light.

“The ranch?”

“Yeah. Behind the school. ”

He sighed.

“There's no way a kid like you could know. Anyway, there's a place with rabbits and chickens. I have to feed them. ”

Is there such a place? ’

Recalling the memory, there was also a place for raising livestock in the orphanage. It just disappeared. Was there a ranch in the middle school in the past?

“Why are you feeding them? Shouldn't you have a handler? ”

“…… there was originally a Department of Breeding. Why, last year, a foreign woman broke into school last night and committed herself with a baby? The baby had fallen into the vivarium. Since the incident, the admission to the Department has been cut short. ”

Not yet. But the tone of his voice seemed to be reciting a very famous case. Maybe there was some sort of incident at this school.

“Why is a foreign woman in a different country school with a child... ”

“The teacher here was a kid who went abroad and got into an accident. ”

"......."

“It happened in the middle class, not the middle class. ”

Killer mutters.

“Anyway, there's no Department of Breeding anymore. Middle School Superintendent's kids take over the ranch... Middle schools can't be committed to this kind of thing, right? Me and the security guard. Some middle class kid. It's three of them, and they almost feed me. ”

That's...

It was a corner place in the world that I had no idea about.

The ranch.

There, the rabbits and chickens were trapped in a cramped cage, making little room for the whole world.

Is it not managed properly? The smell of chicken barrels and rabbit urine shook. Feeds poured in bulk at once, repeatedly getting wet and dry, also smelled bad.

“Oh, really. He just pretended to be someone else. ”

He frowned.

“If you're going to do this, you might as well leave it alone. It's worse than nothing. ”

“Need some help?”

“Enough. I have to finish it anyway. ”

Killer rolled up his sleeve.

“Just stand there. Or go to class first. ”

Killed the old, rotting pile of wool. I threw a straw in a big sack. I took the broom and rake from the warehouse and cleaned it.

Yang is a very familiar worker.

Sancheon lifted a rubber hose and sprinkled water on the ranch.

Shhhhhhh...

In the world that became invisible to many, the world that had rusted into the void and narrowed it down, and behind the Shin Jung-gu, some high school student sprayed water around 6: 40. The water resembles the color of dawn.

"......."

I was peering through the gaps in the world.

[It's really dirty.]

[It's dirtier than the mathematical glands. What happened?]

[You smell really bad.]

The world.

It gets narrower.

[Implementation of trauma is reduced.]

From things that are meaningless to the natural killer. Step by step.

[Data could not be recovered.]

The mountains surrounding the city have been engulfed in a dark fog. The world was surrounded. As the day went by, the emptiness tightened.

The road and road have been cut off.

- ■ ■, ■ ■ ■!

- ■ ■ ■.

The ghosts are constantly appearing and disappearing along the way. Destroyed. It doesn't matter where people come from, where they go, or in [the world of flesh and blood].

In this world, humans were not characters.

A weed flies in the middle of the sidewalk block.

[Implementation of trauma is reduced.]

On the other side of the garbage yard, a bank tree that has not yet been cut down, bent crookedly.

[Implementation of trauma is reduced.]

In the evening, the sunset turned red.

[Implementation of trauma is reduced.]

Finally, the void completely surrounded the school.

"......."

Raviel stands at the gate.

Beyond the gate was darkness.

“Raviel.”

Lower school hours.

Raviel stops silently, leaving a void in front of the ghosts walking and absorbing. Even as I called, Raviel does not turn his head.

“Yes. I felt something was wrong. ”

It's just me whispering.

“When I think about it, it was strange to ask for a foreign name. Bancia. That's the name I was given. But somehow I have to be called [Raviel], and I'm obsessed with the feeling of obsession. ”

"......."

“First of all, I can't remember how I met you. No, there is a misunderstanding in the words" unimaginable. "I received a confession from you at the school festival last year. I've been favoring you for a long time. We became friends easily. ”

Raviel turns to me.

“But I wonder if it's true. Confucius, that's not how you and I love each other. We never love easily. ”

"......."

“Kiss me. Right now.”

I carefully put my hand on Raviel's shoulder. You grab Raviel's chin with your left hand, bow slightly and kiss his lips.

“Hmm. I knew it. ”

Raviel smiles.

“You're shaking.”

She grabbed my earlobe.

“There is no falsehood in my love. Just because he's handsome and articulate, I don't think I would love you so much. But a couple of centuries in the history of the old newspaper... Tell him to cut the crap. You and I are the best in the whole universe. ”

“…… Yes. ”

“If my love were not false, my memory would have been distorted. Now this is either a hallucination or a dream. Confucius, am I dreaming of you? Are you dreaming of me? ”

“I'm dreaming of Raviel. ”

“Oh, right. That's strange.”

Raviel bends his fingers and strokes his chin.

Not her chin, my chin.

“I am the one you love. ”

“Yes."

“Even if you dream, even if it's just a dream, I should always be in the place of those you crave." Only I have the right to take that place. ”

“That's right.”

“Praise be to you, my love. You love me very well. ”

Raviel smiles.

“Now close your eyes. ”

"......."

“Never open your eyes. Call on my name with your lips. Understood? Never open your eyes. If you open your eyes as you please, you will be scolded. ”

I closed my eyes.

“Raviel.”

“Yes."

“Raviel…… Ivan. It's the name of the person I love. ”

And...

The hand that stroked my chin disappeared.

"......."

I opened my eyes.

There was no Raviel.

"............."

It was invisible to me that I was torn down by the shadows.

Until the last moment.

That was Ivan's way.

[Implementation of trauma is reduced.]

[Data could not be recovered.]

There is no breath of Raviel here anymore.

The world is that much smaller.

- Ding, ding, ding, ding.

The speakers installed in the calibration ring.

The broadcaster, who didn't know his name and lost his form, said.

- ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.

The rest of the students in the school will be notified by the station.

- ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■.

I want you to go to school now, except for the students who are going to attend night school.

At that moment.

The void that was lurking beyond the gate was overwhelming.

Like a flood of streams that burst into rapid flooding.

"Hmm."

I stepped back. A stream of tentacle-like fog protrudes from the void. The trunks quickly snagged the door. Soon, the whole school was engulfed in darkness.

‘It's finally crumbling. ’

The world of trauma began to crumble.

“---What are you doing there? ”

Someone said behind my back. He looks at me strangely, his head curled up in a duffel bag.

“Don't you go to school? Well, not if you don't want to. I was starting to feel uncomfortable eating food for your parents. I know you really want to apologize to me, so let's just stop. It just makes each other feel weird. ”

Killer Seong walked towards the place where the gate was. As I was about to pass by, I grabbed her wrist. And I snapped.

“Oh, hey. What the hell? What!”

The slightest difference was that the killing star did not step into the void. The black fog was still pouring through the gate, over the fence, and into the playground. If it's swallowed up by that, it'll all be over.

“Come with me for a second. ”

“Again? Where are you going this time? ”

“A place where you can live a little longer. Where you can breathe. ”

“…… what? ”

“It's already dangerous here. Let's move.”

I dragged the tender nature across the correction.

They devoured the public schools as if they were chasing us.

“... I don't know what you're talking about. Don't you know you've been acting a little weird for the past month? Why are you so scared? What are you trying so hard to do? He wasn't always like that. ”

“I promised to live desperately no matter what. My master wielded his sword when the world fell. My lover defended the country over and over again. There are people like that in the world. I try to be with people like that. ”

“I really, really, really have no idea what you're talking about. ”

“There were those who were determined to do what they thought was right by themselves after endlessly abandoning themselves. ”

We got into the campus.

The void is still unstoppable.

"......."

The hallway was crawling with broomsticks. However, only [Chief], who looks at the Black Dragonist, stands dazed in front of the woman's bathroom. The captain was someone I hadn't broken yet.

Because.

When the last trauma hit, the captain was the only student who bowed his head.

“... Strange. Why do I feel so guilty going into the ladies' room? ”

The Black Dragon Master suddenly seems to be concerned about his gender identity. It was also a time when I had a lot of worries. I grabbed the wrist of a fleshly creature and grabbed it with my only remaining hand.

"Huh?"

“You come with me. You shouldn't be here right now. ”

“Huh? Oh, wait. What is it? Gong-ja Kim? What are you...?! ”

The Black Dragonlord suddenly stumbles upon a stumbling block of confusion and rebellion. The surprised expression hardened at once. The Black Dragon Master narrows his gaze, then lowers his head. He pulls as far as I can.

[Warning!]

[Implementation of trauma is reduced.]

[Data could not be recovered.]

[Unable to sustain trauma.]

The first floor of the public school was sunk.

I led two men up the stairs. Quickly. Beyond the first floor, jumped up the second floor, past the third floor, across the fourth floor, jumped up the fifth floor. The flesh and the black dragon spirit gasp behind my back, but I can't help it.

The void was rising in horror.

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ♪]

[■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ♪]

The tagline on the staircase sank. The black fog became a dark sleep, swallowing one layer, two layers, three layers, four layers, and five layers.

There's only one place left in the world.

“Huff... Puff... ”

“Ugh. Ugh, me, I feel... ”

I stood in front of the iron door on the roof. The lock wraps around the iron door handle in four layers. If you're not a teacher or a teacher, you're not allowed in. But I raised the error from my finger, simply breaking the chain.

“Let's get out of here.”

“Huh...? ”

As he breathed heavily, he stared blankly at the iron gate.

“It's open...? ”

“Now, wait a minute. We can't go up on the roof! It's against the rules!”

The Black Dragon Juice cries out in panic. I might have respected the doctrine a little more if it weren't for the emptiness over her shoulders. I pushed flesh-and-blood black dragon liquor halfway to the roof---

Boom.

The iron gate is closed.

"......."

I stared at the iron gate quietly. It's quiet. Luckily, the void didn't breach the roof. It may be a brief peace granted, but for now, it is out of the flood.

“Fine. You'll be fine for a while. ”

“What's okay?! ”

The Black Dragon Master jumps into a frenzy.

“Don't you know how sensitive our school is to rooftops?! Last year there was a commotion in the middle school! Oh, my God!"

“I'm fine.”

“Ah, if the teachers knew I was here... they'd be... bastards! I'm responsible for getting into my university! ”

The world suddenly fell into a void.

Looking down over the fence on the roof, the playground was empty and only black darkness spread. Correction. Secondary HQ, right across the street.

There are only three left in this trauma.

“Captain."

“Why!”

“You knew what was going on in my class. ”

"......."

Three remaining.

Assault.

Victim.

“…… So? ”

Finally, bystander.

The leader stares at me, looking at the face of the Black Dragon.

“Do you have something to say to me? ”
