The former site of an abandoned amusement park where the sight of Spacequake was detected.
Shidou, who was teleported here by Fraxinus, looked around at the scene around him.
The track of the express was interrupted in mid-air, the carousel lost its head, the cracked coffee cup, and the mirror house in a half-destroyed state...
The bloody sunset shines in such an amusement park at dusk, perfectly creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.
Shidou couldn't help but swallow, feeling a little frightened in his heart.
'If it were Katsu, he would definitely rush in without any hesitation...'
With this thought in mind, Shidou took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and walked towards this amusement park.
When he stepped into the broken iron gate, Kotori's somewhat haggard voice suddenly came from the earphones: "This time there is no... no brother Katsu is here, you must be careful."
"… …Um."
… …
While Shidou was walking somewhere in the abandoned amusement park, something strange happened!
Starting from a certain point, the ruined amusement park suddenly transforms into a weird space with twisted Gothic buildings and cross tombstones everywhere.
"This..." Shidou couldn't help but take a step back. This scene was so weird that even Shidou, who was quite "well-informed" to a certain extent, couldn't help showing a dumbfounded expression.
Compared to Shidou, Kotori, who was located in Fraxinus at an altitude of 15,000, was much calmer: "Shidou, be careful, spirit waves are reacting everywhere where you are now. There is a high probability that the current situation, it's related to the ability of this spirit in the world."
Shidou nodded slightly, and then began to look around to confirm the scope of such changes.
However, when he cast his gaze on a certain point, his pupils couldn't stop shrinking.
It was a strange black shadow on the roof of the church --- "Is it her... the spirit this time." Shidou murmured in a voice he could hear.
The eyes looking at the black shadow became alert and serious.
It was a woman sitting on a cross with her back to the orange sunset. Due to the backlight, it is impossible to see her expression but you can clearly see that she is wearing a distinctive hat. It was a conical hat with a wide brim and a folded top. If I had to say it, it would probably be similar to the costume of a witch in a fairy tale. Making him think of Katsu's costume when he transforms.
"Oh~ It's really strange. I was suddenly pulled here and met humans outside the AST." With that, the spirit floated down from the cross on the roof with a smile and came to Shidou.
It was only now that Shidou could clearly see the entire face of this spirit---
It was a tall woman wearing a spiritual outfit made of orange like the sunset and black like the night sky. She looks to be in her early twenties. With her slender limbs and plump bust, her perfect body proportions make even photo models admire her.
It is as if all the advantages of women in the world are combined into one body as if she is a super beauty created by the hand of God.
The long, beautiful, and shiny hair spread out from under the wide brim of the hat, and a pair of eyes that could be mistaken for emeralds were slightly squinted, looking at Shidou with great interest.
The corners of Shidou's eyes twitched slightly. This interesting and playful look, as well as the shameful appearance, made him inevitably think of Katsu, "If it is Katsu... he should get along well with this spirit." 'For no reason, such an idea popped into Shidou's mind.
Just as Shidou was thinking this, the lady-like spirit suddenly came close to his face, and Shidou, who was so frightened that he was distracted, almost fell to the ground in shock.
"Hahahaha, what an interesting reaction. Don't worry, you don't have to be so afraid. I'm not a bad person."
"...Well, I──"
Shidou, who was so frightened that he came to his senses, naturally remembered his mission, and immediately began to organize his words, trying to find topics to improve the other person's good impression of him.
However, just as he was about to speak, the other party raised Shidou's chin with a hand.
"Oh... you look quite cute. Little brother, why are you here? I remember when I appeared in this world, didn't there be an alarm sound in the world here?"
"..."
The rhythm was interrupted again, and Shidou couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. As expected, I couldn't do it like Katsu... Although he thinks so now, he still has to reply...
"Um...I..." Shidou was weaving a temporary reason and opened his mouth to answer, but the voice from Kotori in the earphones interrupted Shidou: "Shidou, here is the option!"
"..." After hearing this, Shidou lowered his head and stopped talking---
The image of Shidou and a spirit dressed like a witch was displayed on the main screen of the Fraxinas bridge, with a small window superimposed on the frame.
That was the AI installed in Fraxinus, which displayed a window of options based on the current situation. At this time, the three options above were as follows:
1. There is only one reason. I came here especially to see you.
2.I...I don't know anything~~I didn't have time to escape, and I was here as soon as I regained consciousness..."
3. Anyway, can you let me rub your Oppai first?
"Everyone chooses." Kotori looked at the three options and said lightly - completely different from the spirit she had at this time in the past.
The statistics came out quickly. The number of votes for 1 and 2 was equal, but there was no vote for 3. What is normal is somewhat abnormal...
However, Kotori didn't say anything. She just thought about it briefly and then said directly to Shidou: "Choose 2, try to be as compassionate as possible."
… …
In the paradise, the Royal Sister Spirit looked at Shidou lowering his head and said strangely: "Ah? What's wrong with you?"
"...No, um, you just asked me why I came back here, right?" Shidou raised his head and looked at the spirit with a forced smile.
"Yes...yes..." The spirit felt that the human in front of him was a little strange.
Of course, Shidou naturally doesn't know what the other person is thinking. Now he is trying hard to brew the "poor and pitiful" emotion that Kotori said...
Then he naturally thought of the unconscious Katsu, and his eyes immediately turned red...
After a pause, Shidou opened his watery eyes and looked at the other person: "That...that...I...I don't know anything didn't have time to escape, and I was here as soon as I regained consciousness..."
"!" In an instant, this royal sister-type spirit was immediately struck by the maternal nature in her heart. Her eyes widened slightly, red clouds appeared on her cheeks, and she spoke with a gentle smile: "That's it... It's so pitiful, you What's your name?"
"Shidou Itsuka." Shidou tried his best to make his tone as peaceful as possible, then raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes in a natural-looking movement, and then said with a smile: "What about you?"
"Haha, it's me, my name is Natsumi, but you humans seem to call me [Witch]."
