i have a date with leader jae

The land of the entire island is no longer a piece of barren wasteland, but is full of romantic and fragrant flowers and plants. The tips of the grass are stained with countless dewdrops that return to the earth after evaporating sea water. The countless arcs are clear and transparent, reflecting the The beauty of the sky meteor shower.

When the people walking on the grass passed by this transparent sea of ​​reflections, they couldn’t help holding their breath, as if they felt that they were walking on the trajectory of the universe beyond the sky, and they were stepping on the road paved by the magnificent Milky Way. .

Apart from the plants around this isolated island floating in the sea of ​​people, only the white castle standing in the center is the most eye-catching. Realizing that the castle is the "palace" for this trip, Dazai didn't delay any longer, and walked ahead with a calm expression. lead the way.

"Let's go."

The teenagers behind him immediately nodded heavily and followed in his footsteps.

The roof of the castle is covered by countless large domes, and the building complex formed by stretching and combining is large in scale. The outer walls are all painted in pure white, which is particularly eye-catching in the dark and deep night.

A group of people came to the front door of the castle, but were stopped by the guards at the gate.

"You must have a pass to enter the door——"

It was a petite toy soldier, he casually reminded everyone, and ate the cake at the door with no vigilance, his dereliction of duty gave the impression that he didn't Willing to do the job, but accepting this accusation of being all show for the delicious sweets.

Dazai didn't come here with the Phantom Thieves before, fearing that he might not understand what the pass means, a companion kindly explained it to him: "The 'pass' is the 'script' distributed by the "Palace" for intruders. After Taoism, our identity and body shape will change a little, but don't worry, our thinking and action ability will not be affected. "

The members of the Phantom Thieves even turned into rats once in the palace, looking for a way out in Nuo Da's maze in groups, which is not surprising.On the contrary, it was the first time for Dazai to come in, so he was afraid that he would be confused.

But the members of the Phantom Thieves were clearly overthinking, Dazai was not the kind of person who would lose his composure due to unexpected situations.

He nodded to show that he understood, and planned to enter the castle with everyone, but at the moment when he was about to step through the gate, Dazai still couldn't help looking at the guard with a few strands of ocher hair exposed under the toy top hat, with a strange tone asked a word.

"...Chuya, is the cake delicious?"

In a different world, in the same Zhongye, the toy soldier Zhongye in charge of guarding froze for a moment, and immediately reacted angrily and blushed and shouted: "Whatever your business, hurry up and let me in—"

Then he kicked them all into the castle.

The moment they entered the castle, the special power covered in the palace was cast on the intruders. The phantom thieves group of seven people and one cat, except for the black cat named 'Morgana', had a 'bang' sound, Become the seven dwarfs in fairy tales.

Ren Amamiya, the 'joker' of the Phantom Thieves, pulled the turban on her head, and was about to appease the 'newcomer', when the companions in the clinker team cried out in grief: "Why is he not with us? Same!"

Turning his head, he found that the black-haired young man with special temperament not only did not turn into a dwarf, but was even changed into an elegant and complicated white suit by the rules, wearing a small crown on his head, just like someone He lowered his head thoughtfully and fondled the white rose brooch pinned to his chest.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Obviously everyone uses the script, but some people can only use the 'dwarf', and some people have been 'princes' from the beginning...

"Snow White, you're finally here—"

Just when everyone felt unbalanced in their hearts, a silver-haired boy suddenly jumped out of the darkness of the castle. He was wearing a retro-style vest and overalls. It swings from side to side with a great sense of presence, making all cat lovers want to touch it and feel the touch of the tail.

At the same time, he also carried a clock the size of a handbag, and the hollow hands ticked on the dial. The anxiety on the boy's expression never faded during the journey before them.

"Snow White is..."

Everyone in the Phantom Thieves was strangely silent for a while, and then they all turned their eyes to the young man in a white suit among them.

——It turns out that he is not a 'Prince' but a 'Snow White'! !

Facing everyone's shocked eyes, Dazai accepted this identity well, and calmly sized up the young man, and asked tentatively, "Dun?"

"Yes, I am the 'watch tiger' in the castle—Dun." Dun nodded to him, "Please hurry up and take your seven dwarfs to follow me, Snow White, His Royal Highness is waiting for you For a long time."

After speaking, Dun turned around and plunged into the darkness again.

A group of people had to surround their Royal Highness 'Snow White', just like the story in "Alice in Wonderland", followed behind the timepiece tiger who led the way ahead, and officially opened the prologue of this beautiful fantasy fairy tale.

Contrary to the pure white shape, the walls inside the castle are covered with colorful marbles, which shone with colorful light, drawing a long beautiful picture scroll in the corridor.Linglan, platycodon, pomegranate, daisy, chamaejasme, white orchid... the colorful flowers in different postures are in full bloom and are illuminated by meteors outside the translucent glass pane, making them look like a sea of ​​flowers that can flow.

Judging from the route that the Phantom Thieves had previously stepped on, I thought Atsushi would take them straight to the stairs and break through.Ke Dun did not do this, but led them to turn left and right on the first floor, and then entered a small secret room, the clock in his hand would emit a slight halo in the dark , With this light, Dun lightly knocked on the secret door on the wall.

In the next second, the secret door rumbled open to both sides, revealing the secret passage inside.

It looked like a dilapidated retro fireplace, and there were still some ashes left on the mantelpiece. Dun moved the shelf up, revealing a hole buried underneath.

"Please come with me, this shortcut will lead us directly to the room of His Royal Highness." Dun gave up half of his body, showing the prototype of the shortcut to everyone.

The inside of the cave is a smooth and deep passage, completely impervious to light, which makes people feel the fear of leading to the unknown.And Dun was obviously familiar with this secret passage dug out by himself, and he was as kind as when he was back home. After greeting them, he set an example and got into the cave first.

Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds, then nodded tacitly, followed Dun with a heavy heart, and got into the 'tiger hole' under the fireplace one by one.

After entering, I realized that the Tiger Cave tunnel turned out to be an extremely tortuous and lengthy slide. A girl who was traveling with her accidentally slipped her foot and fell down without proper posture. She couldn't help screaming immediately.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" But within a few seconds, she realized that the slide didn't bring her down, "Huh? I... I'm actually sliding up?!"

After everyone had been skating for almost a minute, they found that the corridor was getting brighter and brighter. Following the soft halo from the clock in Dun's hand at the front, the surroundings were no longer pitch black.

The wall began to be inlaid with countless rhombus-shaped luminous gemstones according to certain rules, spreading out endlessly towards the far end. As far as the eye can see, one will be blue, one will be green, one will be orange, and one will be green. It will be pink again, and the circle of light keeps reciprocating around, turning into a mysterious and fantasy drifting journey.

The gravity rules of the whole world seem to be completely reversed in this passage. Everyone's hair is constantly flying back in the wind, but the body is magically surrounded by this dreamlike beauty. The mysterious train connected to the chimney of the fireplace carries Looking at them, as if to keep leading them to the direction of heaven.

"When I saw the fireplace, I thought it would be like what was written in the HP, sprinkle Floo powder and fly to the prince's room directly calling the name of the place!"

"Shh, this is the story of Alice in Wonderland."

"It's obviously a fairy tale paro——"

"It seems that we can save the effort of running the maze this time, and slide directly to the depths of the palace easily, so lucky~"

But what he was most afraid of was that whatever he said, retribution would come. After Long Si happily said these words, all the people who were sliding heard the sound of rats creaking from the depths of the wall.

Deep in the wall, the vibrations of hordes of 'little animals' trampling began to occur.

The clock in Dun's hand, which was sliding in the front, suddenly made a small burst of time chime, and his face changed suddenly: "Not good! It's time to hit the 'mouse' haunt!"

Inside the castle, there are a number of lengthy corridors. The various branches can be said to be zigzagging, covering almost the entire skeleton of the castle, and can lead people to various places in the castle freely. He is responsible for the 'tiger cave' dug through. A channel of control.

There are monsters in the "Palace", and they are dispatched every few hours.

In this world, not only tigers can dig holes, but mice are also experts at digging holes.

So I only heard clicks, clicks, like the sound of gears separating and fitting, the 'tiger hole' they were in was actually connected to the 'mouse hole' at a certain joint——

"Squeak... squeak? squeak!" The mice spotted the figures of the crowd, and pairs of purple eyes in the darkness immediately locked on to them, calling their companions to run towards them.

"Ah, it's a mouse! A mouse is chasing us!"

Some girls who were afraid of this kind of creature immediately covered their heads and screamed in the slide, while the rest of the boys quickly took an attacking stance, covering Dazai while shooting at the rats in the rear with their guns.

"Protect Snow White—"

The swarm of rats was so dense that the bullets could easily hit the target. Once a shot hit, one rat would instantly turn into smoke and dissipate.It's a pity that there are so many of them, and the narrow space is not conducive to their combat operations, and it is difficult to solve the problem of gnawing behind them for a while.

Dun also discovered this, gritted his teeth secretly, and the gloved tiger paw began to press the luminous gems inlaid on the wall while sliding.

It was like pressing a button, and those gems were really pressed down by him with a 'click'.

After the mechanism was re-adjusted, the direction of the people's gliding shifted, and they no longer moved upwards, but turned in a wide direction to the side. Finally, the front suddenly became clear, and everyone experienced a drift and was thrown out of the cave.

Here is another strange hall.

Not surprisingly, the group of rats following them also got out of the hole behind them.

The girls who thought they would be overwhelmed by the rats suddenly screamed: "No, I hate—"

Even though they are all heroic queens who can ride a motorcycle/drive a spaceship/wield a whip in a different world, they still inevitably have the mentality of a little girl when faced with terrifying creatures like mice.

Then, they couldn't help but quietly opened their eyes without sensing the rat attack.

"...These mice are actually quite cute?"

The whole body is covered with fluffy and soft smooth fur like white snow. It seems that when you hold it in your hand and blow it gently with your mouth, the hair can dance like a dandelion.At the same time, it has two big and round ears, round eyes that are as clear as jewels, pink and tender paws, and a long tail. Its body is not as big as a person's palm.

Because the lights in the hall were too bright, the nocturnal mice that jumped out of the hole one after another did not chase them for a while, but stayed in place like a pile of hamsters, forming several circles in twos and threes, sobbing and rubbing their heads in the shadows. Only the eyes that were pierced with tears by the light, and the ears of the mice trembled.

"Okay, let's take advantage of this now..." Seeing that the mouse didn't attack them, they decided to walk away quickly.

But it seemed to be gradually adapting to the surrounding brightness. A mouse moved its ears, turned around and found the fact that they wanted to escape, and immediately issued a sound to warn its companions: "Squeak——"

Dun: "Go this way!"

The dwarves acted decisively, and while following Dun's steps to escort Snow White to evacuate, they summoned their own 'persona masks' to fight against these monsters.

"Damn it, the defense of the Demon Palace is actually three times more than before."

Shuangye's strength itself is strong, and the difficulty reflected in the Demon Palace is undoubtedly hell-level difficulty. In addition, the warning letter was released, and the warning line of the Demon Palace was raised, making it difficult for the Raiders like the Phantom Thieves to be overwhelmed. Degree.

"Maybe it's because little Shuangye wants to give me more tests of true love..." Snow White Dazai, who was taken away by the dwarves, couldn't help pursing a sweet curve at the corner of her lips because she missed Shuangye.

The seven dwarfs escorting Snow White to find the prince: "..."

Inexplicably ate another meal of dog food.

Compared with the members of the Phantom Thieves who have rich experience in fighting against the Demon Palace, Dazai, the newly appointed Phantom Thief of the Heart, almost paddled all the way, and his force value was completely useless.As expected in the script, she is a "weak and powerless" "Snow White", who needs the help of fellow dwarfs to find the true love she is waiting for at the end.

After eliminating nest after nest of white mice that came out of nowhere to stop them, the group of them finally followed Dun to the next location.Pushing open the heavy mahogany door in front, they who broke in hurriedly turned around and closed the door behind their hands.

The noisy and terrifying rat swarm was successfully isolated from the door, and the world finally became quiet.

The relaxed people were able to look at the interior of the room.

This place seems to be a reception room for the palace, and the surrounding decorations are magnificent. The pink bubble teapot on the table boils automatically as if it has vitality, gurgles, and emits a strong aroma of espresso coffee.

There were actually two living people in the room.

They all had similar hair colors. The white-haired young man was wearing plain and simple cloth clothes, squatting next to a wooden bucket filled with water foam, with his back to them, scrubbing his clothes on the washboard with his bare hands.

... No one knows why such a scene appeared in the luxurious reception room.

But another young man with silver hair and braids was wearing the same high-end pure white clothing that was hundreds of grades better than the other party. At this time, he was using the handrail of the spiral staircase as a slide, and happily slid to the bottom until he went through several laps. At the finish line, he kicked his pointed shoe to the ground like a free bird.

"Full!"

I saw the 'White Queen' Gogol, who made a standard landing action, took off the hat on his head with a smile, and performed a perfect gentleman's etiquette in the direction of the young man who was washing clothes.

In the blink of an eye, there was a 'snap', and countless pieces of colored paper flew out of the hat hole and fell to the ground.

"Remember to clean up the ground before 6 o'clock, kind and diligent 'Cinderella'~"

Seeing that she had extra work to do, the 'Cinderella' who was doing the laundry clapped her hands and raised her head to look at the young man with silver braids. She couldn't help opening those long and narrow lavender eyes indifferently.

"Although I don't know you outside the real world, but in terms of disgust, you really are not far from a certain 'mouse'..." 'Cinderella' said, and put on a pair of clothes again. With a half-smile expression, "I think you're a random script based on your hair color. Compared to the role of 'White Queen', I think you are more suitable to be one of Cinderella's vicious step-sisters."

"It's disgusting, Mr. Xianduruila~" Gogol blinked deliberately, "You clearly know that there are already candidates for stepmother and stepsisters, and they are Zetian-kun and his little friends who are in charge of supervising your work. If I have to queue, I have to queue beyond number 8—”

"Besides, the real 'villain' role is none other than you, isn't it?"

Gogol repaired a knife here with a constant smile, and quietly looked at the villain character "Cinderella" in his mouth in mid-air. Invisibly, it seemed that a phantom of a thin and cool blade flashed at the intersection of the two people's sights .

Finally at this moment, someone interrupted their conversation.

"Why are the 'queen' and 'princess' here both men..." Someone in the Phantom Thieves couldn't help but spit.

"...Bryn?"

After Cinderella heard the sound and turned her head, Dazai recognized the face she had seen before, and the dwarves who were only as tall as his thigh stopped at a distance not far from them.

By now, I must be able to understand that those "familiar faces" are "concepts" created by consciousness in Shuangye's magic palace. They are not real people in reality, but they will follow Shuangye's subconscious. Various actions.

"It's you, the real 'Snow White'."

Bai Lan, who also recognized him, gave up confronting Gogol who came to find fault.

In the face of the intruders, he was not interested in laundry and sweeping the floor and other sundries. He wiped his palms covered with foam and wet water on the coarse cloth apron, then stood up and blocked them. in front of.

The dignified mafia leader who once tried to destroy the world would be reduced to doing rough work in rags here. It's too miserable.

But Bai Lan didn't care about her current situation at all, and asked slowly: "Are you here to find 'Little Shuangye'?"

Seemingly sensing the aura from this stranger, the Phantom Thieves and Dwarves could not help but habitually block Snow White in front of them, and greeted the white-haired young man in front of them.

"Is it the 'enemy' who came to stop us?"

Even Dun, who was leading them, couldn't hold back. The timepiece tiger anxiously picked up the clock and glanced at it, and said to Bai Lan: "Cinderella, it's not yet 6 o'clock at night, you can't come to stop us— —”

"I know, I know, now is still my 'punishment time', right." Bai Lan naturally knew this rule well, like a soldier who surrendered, he raised his palms helplessly.

Seeing that he was willing to give in a step, Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Lan secretly showed a smile.

Just when Atsushi wanted to lead the people to move on, Dazai said something unintentionally behind him.

"Dun, your duty is to 'tell the time' for the whole palace, right?"

The silver-haired boy couldn't help but pause when he heard the words, tightened the clock in his hand, and looked back at him: "Why...you know?"

"It's just good use of observation." Dazai said indifferently: "I have walked along the way, and I found that except for the clock in your hand, there is no clock in the whole palace. And this palace has become an eternal clock half a year ago. On the night of the meteor shower, in order to distinguish the time, you must use the clock to confirm whether it is day or night..."

"I guess, 'time' should be a very special rule for you in this world?"

"Especially, for a special 'some people'."

After listening to his explanation, there was a burst of gloating applause at the scene. It was Gogol who was leaning on the handrail of the spiral staircase to watch the excitement.

"That's right, it is said that Mr. Cinderella was able to live a happy life with His Royal Highness in the first place, and they will grow old together forever~" The White Queen jumped down and dragged out her voice as if she wanted to tantalize her, " But this 'Cinderella' he-"

"It's a 'bad girl' yo XD"

"The lucky Cinderella, who took the 'Crystal Flower' as a token of love, gradually gained love, wealth, power, and status with the company of His Royal Highness, but in the end, he turned out to be like a scumbag who got rich and then forgot his wife. The prince was released... So after the ruling of the assistant minister, he has since been punished with the punishment of 'only after 6 o'clock in the evening every day can he recover his freedom', it is really a touching story, woo woo... Puff ha ha ha ha—”

Gogol had undergone professional training, but in the end, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He sells 'teammates' faster than anyone else, and at the same time, the speed of changing his face is extremely fast.

"But for the sake of adding extra workload to you just now, let me help you here~"
