I loaded the dream game

I brought all of these.

"Summer Solstice..."

She turned around, looked at the boy and asked:

"Is my appearance a mistake?"

Facing her confused eyes, Xia Zhi was about to answer, but suddenly he felt something and looked up at the sky...

.......

Chapter 978: Does the girl have a special physique for being rescued?

Inside the temple, Ruoye and several girls in the same group sat in a corner. They looked up at the night sky outside the window with a hint of worry on their faces.

They came here for a school trip, but due to the impact of the earthquake, they had to move to the shrine as a local shelter.

If nothing unexpected happens, we will have to stay here tomorrow... In other words, the original normal school trip schedule is basically ruined.

But this is not what Ruoye is worried about.

According to the class teacher, it was not just an earthquake, there were tsunamis and ground fissures all over the country.

The situation seems to be more serious than I imagined.

Compared to her, the students of the same grade who came to take refuge seemed to be enjoying this event that happened during the school trip. Some were chatting with friends, and some were looking at news websites on their smartphones.

Compared with the leisurely girls, Ruoye, who looked worried and serious, seemed a little out of place.

But no one cared about this. After all, in their eyes, Nogi Wakaba, as the class monitor and top student, was a rigid and serious person.

Like them, Ruoye’s thoughts were not here at the moment.

She looked out the window from time to time, feeling a little worried.

I had invited the teenagers to come in and take refuge together, but they refused.

Is it okay for Mr. Xia Zhi and the others to be outside alone?

While she was thinking this, she heard a slight "click" sound by her ear.

Wakaba turned around and saw Hinata holding a cell phone towards her.

"Worrying about someone, Wakaba, with the interior of the temple as the background... well, it's a really beautiful scene. I've added another picture to my collection of Wakaba's secret portraits~"

The purple-haired girl said happily.

"Hinata~!"

Ruoye said to her in a slightly annoyed tone: "What's so good about collecting my photos? Delete them now!"

Kamisato Hinata seemed not to have heard it, and put away the phone as if nothing had happened. He looked at her and tilted his head slightly and asked:

"Ruoye, are you worried about Mr. Xiazhi and Sister Shixiang?"

The words obviously changed the subject, but Ruoye was successfully distracted by them and replied:

"I'm just worried about their safety sleeping outside alone."

Compared to the interior of the temple which serves as a refuge area, the outside with no protective measures is indeed relatively dangerous, right?

"They are all adults already, don't worry." Hinata comforted her.

Ruoye tilted her head slightly: "But, they don't look very old, right?"

Probably around the age of a high school student?

Hinata was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thought about it carefully.

It seems that’s what he said…

"But compared to us, he is already an adult," she said.

Ruoye frowned.

Even so, facing danger has nothing to do with adults or anything like that.

"Besides, what if it rains?"

"The weather forecast said it won't rain today," Hinata replied.

Although the earthquake warning system did not predict the coming of the earthquake...

“What if the temperature suddenly drops?”

“It’s summer now.”

"The weather these days is unpredictable, right?"

That's true, Hinata thought.

"They wouldn't run into the deep mountains and forests alone late at night, right?" Ruoye said to herself worriedly.

This is possible, after all, they did just that in the afternoon.

Hinata thought about it, and his eyes fell back on Nogi Wakaba, who looked worried. He tilted his head slightly and asked meaningfully:

"Even though they just met, it seems like Ruoye cares about them a lot."

"..."

Ruoye didn't answer.

Indeed, strictly speaking, they are not very familiar with each other.

She didn't know why, but the boy's attitude towards her made her feel like he was a friend she had known for a long time.

Maybe it has something to do with the friend he mentioned.

...But no matter what, it's natural to have a good impression of people who are nice to you, right?

Besides

"Everything must be reported. This is how I, Nogi Wakaba, survive." She raised her head again and replied firmly.

That was one of the teachings her grandmother always said, and Ruoye, who admired her grandmother, took it very seriously.

"Hinata, you are an important friend of mine. Mr. Xiazhi saved you, and I want to find a chance to repay this favor."

So it's for my sake?

Kamisato Hinata blinked and thought.

In that case...

"Let's go check it out?" she suggested.

"Eh?"

Ruoye was slightly stunned.

Hinata continued, "If you're worried, then go check it out... Aren't you planning to do the same?"

Indeed, I was planning to...

Ruoye's eyes became firm and she stood up.

After a brief greeting with the teacher, she walked out of the temple with Hinata.

Look up at the starry sky, the stars are shining

Although it is night, the July heat is unbearable

Compared to the bustle inside the temple, the outside seems very quiet. The torii gates of ancient shrines generally have the meaning of "a boundary with the outside world". In the era when people had not forgotten their faith, shrines were usually regarded as another world.

Just like at this moment, it is so quiet as if being in another world.

"Ruoye?"

Seeing the girl standing at the door, Hinata called her in confusion.

Ruoye came back to his senses, shook his head, took a deep breath, and was about to take a step forward.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently again.

This earthquake was more severe than the previous one.

The vibration made it difficult to stand. Wakaba bent down to keep from falling. Hinata beside him cried out and fell to the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

After the vibration subsided, Kamisato Hinata rubbed her butt and was about to stand up from the ground, but a picture flashed through her mind, making her whole body stiff in place.

On the other side, Ruoye managed to keep her balance and became even more worried about the boy's situation.

"Hinata, let's go."

She spoke anxiously, preparing to take a step towards the yard, but the girl next to her grabbed her wrist tightly.

She turned around in confusion, only to see the girl's face turn pale, as if she was extremely frightened and tightly grasped her wrist, mumbling softly.

"very scary……"

"...Huh?" Ruoye was a little stunned

What's so scary?

Hinata's body trembled slightly, and he looked up at the sky.

"If, Ruoye...something...very, very terrible..."

Ruoye frowned slightly and looked up along the girl's line of sight.

The night sky is extremely calm, with countless stars twinkling, and it looks no different from usual.

But that's not the case

If you look closely, you can see that those things that seem to be floating on the water are not stars, but something else.

(Wang's Zhao) And some of them are growing rapidly

Then, falling from the sky——

Wakaba's pupils suddenly contracted

"boom--!"

There was no time to do anything else to protect it. The huge monster fell to the ground without any deceleration. The strong impact knocked the two girls' petite bodies to the sides.

However, this is not the most fatal

Something unnaturally white, much larger than a human, and with a creepy mouth-like organ slowly climbed out of the pit.

Looking at the monster so close to him, Hinata's mind went blank.

Am I going to die?

A thought flashed through her mind.

My body was out of control, the pain from the collision just now spread throughout my body along with a deep sense of despair.

As the monster approached him and opened its huge mouth, ready to swallow him up,

The next moment, a sharp cold light flashed by

The monster turned into white dots of light and scattered

In the girl's eyes, which reflected the light scattered like stardust, was the familiar figure of a black-haired boy.

……no.

Chapter 979 "I'll let it confirm your existence"

Xia Zhi had actually noticed something a long time ago.

To the gods, the importance of the elves should be higher than defeating the gods of earth.

Tohka herself said that she used to be frequently attacked by gods.

But a few days ago, after he met Tohka, those gods seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Apart from the occasional earthquakes that proved that the war between the gods was still going on, there was no trace of them anymore.

In the past few days, Tohka has not been attacked again. Even the earthquakes that have become more frequent in the past month have become rare, and most of them occurred far away from the city where the two are.

It feels as if... they are deliberately avoiding me.
