I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

"Fujii-kun, why did you come to this city?"

After finishing a sandwich, Himuro Reia rubbed her cold hands, and without even looking at Fujii Ren beside her, she suddenly asked softly.

Fujii Ren, who was already used to her senior's silence and sudden questions, pondered for a moment after hearing this question.

"There's no special reason. I just chose this school when I was in high school. This city is also very nice. I like the peaceful life in this city."

Fujii Ren is a pacifist who hates disputes and conflicts.

I love a peaceful life very much and I love it very persistently.

Although it sounds normal and ordinary, his persistence in a peaceful life is unmatched by ordinary people. He likes to just blindly repeat the days without any excitement and change.

This is definitely very strange in the eyes of other people.

"Fujii-kun, you won't have a peaceful life in this city."

Himuro Reia sighed.

Fujii Ren frowned and asked, "Why?"

"This city is not as peaceful and stable as it seems. If you want to live a peaceful life, you'd better leave here."

After saying this, Himuro Reia stood up and walked towards the entrance to the downstairs.

Looking at the girl's departing back, Fujii Ren frowned slightly.

He heard the sincerity in the other person's words.

Himuro Reia was not exaggerating. Even if one did not know the true nature of this city, one could see that Suwahara was abnormal.

In this decree-enacted city with a total population of 800,000, the total population has not changed at all in the past ten years.

The number of people moving into and out of the city each year, the number of deaths and the number of births, the population growth shown is - zero!

No matter how you think about it, the population has not increased or decreased for ten years and has remained in this state. It is very strange, right?

……

Fujii Ren, who was feeling restless, skipped classes and had a good nap in the afternoon.

When I opened my eyes dazedly, it was already completely dark.

You know, he fell asleep on the rooftop and didn't catch a cold. He was quite impressed with himself.

"Lucky idiot..."

Fujii Ren laughed at himself and stood up directly from the bench where he was lying.

I looked down at the time on my phone and it was already half past six.

Although it wasn't too late, the way back to the apartment was definitely dark at this time of year.

Thinking of this, Fujii Ren looked towards the school building and saw that the lights in the office were still on.

If the teacher finds out, I will definitely be scolded.

After returning to the classroom to pack up, Fujii Ren saw a note on the table that read, "You idiot who skipped class, wait for your repetition."

No need to guess, just look at the handwriting and tone to know it's that idiot Ayase Kasumi.

"I'm sorry, Xiangchun, my grades are better than yours."

Fujii Ren shrugged, tore off the note that was stuck to the table with transparent tape, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.

He didn't take it seriously at all because his own academic performance was not bad.

The private Tsukinozawa Academy places great emphasis on the rate of admission to higher education, so as long as the grades are good, the school and even the teachers will turn a blind eye to people like Fujii Ren.

After packing up her things, Fujii Ren left the classroom. She couldn't turn on the lights in the dark corridor, otherwise she would be discovered by the teachers who stayed behind.

But when Fujii Ren glanced out the window inadvertently, she found that the lights were still on in the kendo field.

Is Xiangchun still staying there?

Thinking this way, Fujii Ren had no intention of going over. After all, it was already very late, so he decided to go home quickly.

When walking out of the school gate, Fujii Ren couldn't help but look back.

However, when I went back to look at it this time, the lights in the Kendo Club's dojo had been turned off, and the academy had become completely dark and looked a bit eerie.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind Fujii Ren.

"Fujii Ren, why did you come back here?"

“Ahhh!?!?”

The voice behind her was too close, and she was patted on the shoulder. She could even feel the breath of the person behind her on her neck.

Coupled with the pitch-black and gloomy environment at night, even he was frightened.

He jumped about one meter high and seemed really scared.

But after the shock came anger. Fujii Ren turned around with anger on her face and saw a woman with long black hair who was dressed very fashionably.

He looks to be about the same age as me, but I can be sure that he is not from Tsukinozawa Academy.

However, this dress really does not suit the woman in front of him. It can be said to be catastrophically ill-fitting. She does not look like a serious girl.

"Suddenly appeared behind me... who are you!?"

Seeing that it was a beautiful woman, Fujii Ren couldn't lose his temper anymore, and asked the familiar woman in front of him with a slightly unpleasant expression.

He didn't know the woman in front of him at all, but he could feel a sense of familiarity... no... a sense of déjà vu.

Besides, she just called out my name. Could it be that she was someone who knew me but I had forgotten about her?

That's not right. The girl in front of him is also considered a beautiful girl. He shouldn't have forgotten her.

"Sakurai Hotaru, have you... forgotten everything?"

Seeing that Fujii Ren in front of her did not recognize her, Sakurai Hotaru said her name and then looked her up and down with a complicated and strange look in her eyes.

It stands to reason that things from childhood are easy to forget.

But the life-changing changes that she experienced in her childhood are a pain that Sakurai Hotaru can never forget.

Likewise, the image of a child throwing himself down to block a bullet is unforgettable.

"…You seem to know me, can you tell me about me?"

Here we go again, another person who looks like my senior, could it be that I, Fujii Ren, really lost my memory! ?

Now, Fujii Ren is really not sure whether he has lost his memory.

Because of the sense of déjà vu she felt when she saw the other person, as well as the other person's familiar attitude, Fujii Ren was a little undecided.

"It was something that happened when I was a kid, but getting shot is not something you can just forget about, right?"

Looking at Fujii Ren in front of her, and recalling the boy who called her a little crybaby when she was a child, Sakurai Hotaru narrowed her eyes slightly.

She already felt a sense of estrangement and strangeness, and the other party didn't seem to be pretending.

As for the possibility that she recognized the wrong person?

Just by looking at the gentle face of Fujii Ren that seemed feminine in her memory, she was sure that she was not mistaken.

“Got shot!?”

Fujii Ren was even more confused.

What the hell, is that what he thought was going to happen?

Isn't it something like glass marbles?

"Tsk——!"

Seeing the confused expression of Fujii Ren in front of her, Sakurai Hotaru smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.

Thinking about something, she suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed what was in front of her eyes as fast as lightning.

tear-

Amidst Fujii Ren's confused and unresponsive expression, the sound of clothes tearing was so harsh at this moment.

She hadn't reacted at first, but when the cold wind blew and Fujii Ren felt the biting chill, her expression changed immediately.

"You, you, you, what are you doing!?!?"

Seeing her upper body clothes being torn to shreds by the indecent woman in front of her, Fujii Ren, who had never experienced any indecent assault, felt the urge to scream for the first time.

However, Sakurai Hotaru ignored him. As a demon, she completely ignored Fujii Ren's resistance and tore off his upper body clothes.

Looking at Fujii Ren shivering in the cold wind in front of her, Sakurai Hotaru frowned slightly.

Because she didn't see what she wanted to see from the other person's bare upper body.

That's the scar from being shot.

Normally, that kind of injury should leave scars, but the Fujii Ren in front of him did not have any scars at all, and her skin was whiter than that of a woman.

"Is the hospital in Suwahara that great a few years ago?..."

Looking at Fujii Ren gritting her teeth in front of her, Sakurai Hotaru muttered to herself.

If she just looked at his face, she wouldn't make a mistake.

But the other person had no scars on his body. Sakurai Hotaru wondered if the hospital's technology was so advanced that it didn't leave any scars on him.

"You, you guy..."

Thinking he was being raped by a female hooligan, Fujii Ren folded his arms and retreated in fear. The woman in front of him was so strong that his resistance was as weak as that of a baby.

And if there is a third party looking at it, he will find that the scene is a little bit upside down.

Himuro Reia, who has not yet left school, feels the same way.

"Crack——!"

The shutter sound of a cell phone camera was heard, and Fujii Ren and Sakurai Hotaru looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

Then they saw Himuro Reia, who had an expressionless face, pointing her phone at them and taking pictures of them.

While filming, she said in a tone without any intonation:

"Look at what I'm doing. Next, take off your pants. Ha-Ya-Ku (quickly)."

“Senior!!!!”

Fujii Ren's expression collapsed and she started screaming in despair.

Sakurai Hotaru on the side also realized how misleading and imaginative the situation was.

Her face flushed slightly and she coughed lightly, then immediately turned around and walked away quickly, disappearing into the darkness of the night.

……

Ren Fujii found a school uniform and put it on. She was walking home with Reia Himuro and her face looked unhappy.

Who did he provoke?

Late at night, I encountered a female hooligan who stripped my clothes. No, she tore my clothes.

"It's not like Fujii-kun is at a disadvantage. After all, that girl is pretty, isn't she?"

"I can't be happy about this kind of thing, Senior Sister!"

Hearing Himuro Reia's light tone, Fujii Ren felt a little pain in her teeth.

Although the other person was a beautiful woman, he was only frightened but not surprised at all when encountering such a thing.

Besides, he is not a pervert, so how could he be happy about being molested by a beautiful woman?

In front of Fujii Ren, the woman suddenly jumped out to scare him, said a lot of weird things to herself, and then started tearing her clothes.

If this was a prank, it would be too much for Fujii Ren to bear.

"By the way, do you know that woman with terrible fashion sense?"

Fujii Ren could not forget Sakurai Hotaru, the woman who left a deep impression on him.

"Hmm... I met her a few times in elementary school, but I haven't seen her since then. She just returned to Suwahara last year. She's a show-off but not very honest person."

As for Sakurai Hotaru, Himuro Reia only reunited recently.

After that incident happened when she was a child, she also disappeared from Himuro Reia's life.

Ever since the two most important people in Sakurai Hotaru's heart died, she replaced Beatrice's seat at the Black Round Table and joined the Black Round Table.
