I was in a blank space.

I was satisfied that it had been a long time since I had had a good battle and role-playing experience.

The old terrorist’s sword was quite interesting. That’s what I call the age-old wisdom.

It was cool and I took a crack at it, but it led to a great finish.

Learning the enemy’s techniques in battle and using them to fight back. That is also impressive.

My Suzuki-kun’s performance was also great.

I think that the depth of Shadow was enhanced by having him as a character. Where there is light, there is shadow.

I was thinking about that, and before I knew it, I was here.

“This is …….”

I look around.

It looks familiar, the place where I met the child, Violet.

“Yaaay, we meet again.”

In the middle of the white space, there was a little girl on her knees.

She was covered in scratches.

“…… Are you okay?”

The girl was holding her knees in the middle of the white space.

“Ugh,…….”

The girl looked up.

Her face was stained red with tears of blood.

“Thank you,…….”

“You’re welcome. What happened?”

“Nothing. It happens all the time.”

“I see”

“Yeah.”

She looked up at me and smiled.

“It’s nice to finally meet you, Onii-chan”

“Finally?”

“Because at the center, I hold the power.”

“Fumu…… oh right, here.”

I took out a red jewel from my pocket.

“It’s the precious thing”

“….. Are you sure?”

“100 million zeny. Just pay me back in full.”

“Thank you”

With that, the girl accepted the red jewel.

“I’ve been waiting for this.”

“Oh, yes. May I ask what it is?”

“It’s this……”

The girl laughed.

The edge of her lips lifted like a crescent moon.

“This is …… my …….”

The girl’s face contorted into a hideous monster, and then the evil magic overflowed.

The white space is painted black.

The girl moved her lips and muttered.

[Calamity.]

I couldn’t hear her voice, but she certainly said so.

And then, a swirl of black emotion swirled through the air.

Men, women, old men, and children appeared one after another to scorn the girl. One moment they are, however, transformed by an unknown creature into a soggy mass of flesh.

Hundreds and thousands of times, I found myself standing on the roof of the school.

It was the place where I first met little Violet.

I could see the setting sun in the distance.

It was an ordinary, peaceful school.

“Fumu,…… perhaps it would have been better not to give it to her?”

I tilted my head.

The silver-haired girl looked down at the schoolyard with her red eyes.

“All we got from the Knights’ investigation was the student’s testimony. No evidence was found. ……”

The silver-haired girl leaned against the window of an empty classroom and muttered.

“So, why was I called?”

In addition to the silver-haired girl, there was an ordinary boy with dark hair in the classroom.

“Because you’re involved, too.”

“Like I said, I was sleeping in the dorms and nothing happened…..”

“Only Claire hasn’t woken up since then. The Knights want to talk to you about it.”

“Aah, about sister. But I don’t know anything about it, so I have nothing to tell them.”

“Of course you don’t. You really don’t know anything. What is happening in this world and how deep the darkness of the world is …….”

The silver-haired girl laughed a little when she said that.

“I told you, it’s no use asking me.”

“The Knights don’t expect to get anything out of it either. It’s just a formality.”

“…Then it’s fine”

The dark-haired boy said in frustration.

The cold winter winds blew in through the window and swept the girl’s beautiful silver hair.

“It’s cold out here, so I’d like you to close the door.”

“Hey, Pochi.”

The silver-haired girl ignored the dark-haired boy’s request and continued talking.

“I really envy your peace.”

“Is that sarcasm?”

“No. I want peace. I just want peace, that’s all.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

When the dark-haired boy answered, the silver-haired girl smiled.

The dark-haired boy was called from outside the classroom.

“Well then. The knights are calling me, so I will be on my way.”

The dark-haired boy put his hand on the classroom door.

“Hey, Pochi”

The silver-haired girl stops him.

“….. Have you ever wanted to have eternal life?”

“I want it so much.”

The boy’s head flipped around with a tremendous speed.

“I-I see”

“I’d destroy the world if I could have it.”

“I should never have asked you.”

“If you find it, by all means, let me know.”

The dark-haired boy said with a straight face and left the classroom.

The silver-haired girl who was left alone let out a small sigh.

“Eternal life huh…… Shadow is not a snob like Pochi. If Shadow was seeking eternal life, the world would ……”

The silver-haired girl looked up at the sky.

The stagnant gray sky went on forever.
