I enlightened the heroine of the second dimension in New Tokyo

The Nagoya defense line is relatively good, because behind it is Kyoto, which is the power center and the seat of the powerful in the Sakura Country, and has sufficient protective power.

The situation in Hokkaido is relatively worse. It is a vast island with a sparse population, and its strength is divided away by Kyoto, making it even more difficult to defend.

Of the 179 cities, towns and villages, only a few large cities survived, such as Sapporo, Asahikawa, Hakodate, Otaru and other cities with large populations.

People built tall walls around these cities and stationed troops from various countries to defend them.

Except for the big cities, other cities were either destroyed or moved to the big cities and disappeared due to the rampant demons.

The wilderness of Hokkaido is desolate and uninhabited.

However, although there are monsters in the vast Hokkaido, with the Hakodate Defense Line in front, it is definitely safer than the area near old Tokyo, so it has become the best monster hunting ground.

New Tokyo’s annual college student training is often held in Hokkaido.

Since Kyoto is the capital, it is not very convenient to organize such activities.

Zhao Yang and Rem will go to Sapporo Castle, which is the largest city in Hokkaido and is very suitable as a base for novices.

Ram's school was also there.

Fate is not going to Sapporo, she is going to Otaru this year.

But Otaru and Sapporo are nearby and you can get there quickly, so it’s not a big problem.

Zhao Yang had been to Sapporo with his parents before and was not unfamiliar with the place, but he had never been to Otaru, so he couldn't give Fate any advice and could only let her figure it out on her own.

…After distributing the mobile phones and having lunch, they trained for a day, and finally it was the last day of January.

January 31st.

New Tokyo is particularly busy today. Since morning, people have been leaving early to fly to the main island. The airport is packed and there are ships coming and going on the sea.

But these have nothing to do with Zhao Yang, they will not set off until tomorrow.

Alisa has already arranged the flight tickets and itinerary.

Her family owns a hotel in Sapporo, and when he lands, a special car will pick him up and take him to her hotel. The necessary camping equipment will also be placed in the room, so he doesn't have to bring it himself.

In the morning, Zhao Yang checked his equipment one last time.

There is no problem with the new weapons and equipment.

The long sword that had been repaired by the Countermeasures Bureau had also been returned and was hanging on the wall.

Everything is ready, there is nothing left to do.

...Besides, it's not like he can't go back to New Tokyo. He and Rem are both free men and can come and go at any time, unlike Fate and Ram, who can't move after going to Hokkaido.

So he doesn't have any pressure at all.

There is no need to worry about equipment, as Elisa and Suzuka will take care of the logistics.

In terms of magic, he has already learned protective clothing, flying and telepathy, and in terms of combat skills, he can also use Benlei skillfully.

He couldn't think of anything else to prepare.

...By the way, Rem's transformation into a ghost?

But Zhao Yang thought about the previous experiment, which was the worst time he had ever spurted blood, so he decided to give up.

100 Echoes of Civilization

After completing the preparations, Zhao Yang had another party to attend.

Was this a farewell party for friends before leaving for the main island? It felt something like that anyway.

The location was a restaurant in the center of the North Tenth District, and those who attended were all acquaintances in a small circle, namely the four people from Zhao Yang Apartment, Nanoha, Alisa and Suzuka.

"You better be careful."

"Don't be so stubborn, okay?"

"Run faster if there's danger."

Nanoha and the others gave some nagging instructions.

Zhao Yang comforted him: "Don't worry, it's still safe for us to go to Sapporo."

"That's what I said, but I still can't ignore it."

The usually gentle Suzuka repeated this even more.

They kept talking about this while eating, and Zhao Yang felt a little overwhelmed.

It wasn't just them, other guests in the restaurant also had many similar conversations.

There are really a lot of people going out tomorrow, it is indeed a major event in New Tokyo.

In fact, not only New Tokyo, but also many extraordinary people from other parts of the earth took this opportunity to go to Sakura Country.

So there is really no need to worry too much about safety.

After the dinner, Alisa and Suzuka left first.

Nanoha went back to the apartment with Zhao Yang and the others, and chatted with Fate until very late before going home.

They have a really good relationship.

However, Zhao Yang doesn't need to learn magic from Fate now, so no matter how late they chat, it won't affect him.

Nothing happened that night, it was a very peaceful night.

Many college students, extraordinary people, and soldiers in New Tokyo are waiting to set off tomorrow.

however.

Not all places are so peaceful.

such as……

---

Old Tokyo, demon world, deep in the outer periphery.

Ever since the old Tokyo area was swallowed up by the demon world, the environment has undergone tremendous changes. The vast black land of the demon world has appeared here, making the scope of this swallowed land extremely large and it can no longer be viewed with the same eyes as before.

…In this dark land, there exists a mysterious space.

The state of this space is very strange. It is semi-independent from the demon world and has its own rules. The sky is not dim, and the earth is no longer dark. There are no demons rampant in the sky or on the earth. It is a rare place of peace.

And now, excavation work is underway inside one of these spaces.

In this mysterious space, there is even the sun, blue sky and white clouds, but the sky always seems fake and hazy, feeling disconnected.

...It seems that the sky here does not exist in reality, but is just an illusion.

This kind of space is actually the remnants of a world swallowed by the demon world, and is the remnant of an alien civilization.

In this kind of space, if you are lucky, you can occasionally get knowledge from other worlds, so this kind of space is named - Secret Realm.

The center of this secret place is a ruin, and from the remains of buildings collapsed on the ground, one can infer its past glory.

...But at this point, it's just a piece of garbage.

At this time, there were about twenty two-meter-tall steel figures working in the ruins.

These steel figures are green or gold in color, and have strange appearances. They have a round ball as their abdomen, connecting the upper and lower bodies, and a single horn protruding from their heads.

Its hands and feet have no joints, and although there are gaps, they are magically connected together out of thin air and can move very flexibly.

The Iron Man held a long sword or an axe in his hands with only four fingers, and used them to clear the ruins and carry out excavation work, as if trying to find something here.

In a corner of the ruins, two white-haired women were supervising the work.

One of the long-haired women was wearing a black combat uniform and sitting on a broken wall more than one meter high. She said to the short-haired woman wearing an eye patch standing under the wall:

"Do you think Master can find what he wants in this secret realm?"

"I don't know, but the Master determined from the remaining records that something she wants is here, so all we need to do is look for it."

"A legacy from another world... huh?"

The short-haired woman looked up: "I feel a little weird."

"?"

"My broken memory tells me that you didn't seem to be such a curious person in the past."

"…Like you, my memory was damaged when I was awakened by the Master. Memory is an important part of one's personality, so it is normal to experience changes after losing memory.

Maybe this is who I really am? Or maybe this is my personality at a certain stage? I don’t know, just like I don’t know if you have changed compared to before.”

The long-haired woman's expression did not change, and she continued:

"Anyway, the truth has been buried in time as our world was swallowed by the demon world. So... it's normal that the me in your remaining memories and the real me behave differently."

"You...huh?"

The short-haired woman had just said one word when she suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Something's wrong."

The long-haired woman jumped to the ground and looked ahead vigilantly with the short-haired woman.

They looked toward the center of the ruins.

An iron figure had just stabbed a piece of stone and cracked it, then raised his sword and stabbed it hard.

clang!

The cracks in the stone became deeper, and a faint light leaked through the cracks.

The two felt a huge energy reaction from the light.

"Wait……!"

"Wait!"

They reached out to stop it, but it was too late.

The Iron Man's sword pierced the stone.

then.

In less than a second, a loud bang was heard from underground, and then light spurted out, instantly blasting a big hole on the spot, and the iron figure turned into ashes in an instant.

The explosion caused a chain reaction. A series of explosions were heard under the ruins, causing a large area of ​​the ruins to collapse.

The Iron Dolls that were farther away were all blown away, while the Iron Doll in the center of the explosion range was blown high into the sky.

The two women standing on the side crossed their arms in front of them. The powerful blast mixed with gravel hit them, but they stared ahead as if nothing had happened, observing the development of the situation.

———A few seconds after the big bang, an endless light of light blue appeared.

The two people who were originally calm finally changed their expressions after seeing the light.

"go!"

The long-haired woman pulled the short-haired woman and ran out.

Behind them, light that spread up from the ground, emitting powerful energy fluctuations, melted everything it touched in the center of the ruins.

Whether it was the ruined buildings or the steel figures blown high into the sky, they all disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The two of them quickly retreated, fleeing from the light that was spreading outwards.

They moved extremely quickly and quickly moved away from the ruins and arrived at the edge of the secret realm. Many of the steel figures that had just been blown away fell here.

They were motionless and seemed broken.

When they got here, they stopped for a moment and looked back.

Fortunately, the light that erupted from beneath the ruins did not chase them.

The lights continued to rise, and soon they left the ground and reached high into the sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!

The irregularly moving light blue light suddenly shook violently, then split into twenty-one small light balls and scattered out, breaking through the secret realm and flying towards various parts of the demon world.

101 Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The short-haired woman looked up at the sky and said:
