The sky is covered by a film like an upside-down bowl that ordinary people don't see much.The dim membrane resembles a miasma, but not quite the same.But no matter what, it is not a comfortable thing for the creatures of the 'table world'.

"That's why we plan to join forces with the History Department to produce a stage play for the school celebration." Shima, who has regained his health, said cheerfully, "It's rare that there are so many strong men, and it's a pity that there is no Hakuouki or something. ah."

Compared to her high spirits, the 'audience' sitting opposite her seemed particularly absent-minded.

With her elbows on the table and her cheeks resting on her wrists, the girl stared at the hazy sky outside the window in a daze.Although normal people can't see that dim film, they can still feel that the sun that should be very poisonous at the end of summer and autumn is feeling weak at this time.

Although the sun is bright, it has no temperature.Many girls who are afraid of the cold have already put on a thin coat over their school uniform in advance.

It's okay if the time is short, but over a long time, even ordinary people will feel uncomfortable.

"Let me tell you, Gu Yu, are you really listening to me?"

After talking endlessly but getting no response, the tall woman put her hands on the table and approached the girl who was still in a daze.

"Well, I'm listening." Gu Yu responded to her question, but she didn't look back at the sky.

Erke Zhima, who didn't get a response for a while, pursed his lips, reached out to hold Gu Yu's face, and forced her to face himself.The girl whose head was forcibly turned away blinked, and looked puzzled at her friend who was almost close to her on the opposite side.

"what happened?"

what's wrong...

Erke Zhima let out a sigh, and let go of Gu Yu's face.

"So you weren't listening at all just now."

"I have heard that they just want to cooperate in a stage play."

Gu Yu summed up the content of Shima's speech in Erke just now in a simple and rough way.

"Yes, so from today onwards everyone will stay and start rehearsing. It's rare that it's the background of the end of the shogunate, so what if you don't rehearse the killing array well."

Having said that, the tall girl became excited again, her eyes almost sparkled.

"Okita Souji and Saitoichi, Hijikata Toshizo and Kazama Chikage...they're all passionate...ah no, they're all extremely exciting duels! How can we not reproduce them properly!"

Bakumatsu romance!The love-hate relationship between the samurai and the ghost!

Long live!

The heat from the heart almost penetrates the skin to form a burning flame.

Gu Yu stepped back slightly.There is no 'heat' without that share.

"I'll let everyone know first!" Especially the boys who are the main force can't run away.

The girl who thought about it and did it stood up abruptly, and the chair legs made a short and harsh sound across the ground.

"what."

As if remembering something, Gu Yu suddenly called out softly.

"what happened?"

Relying on his long legs, Erke Shima, who had already walked to the door quickly, turned around.

"At night, it's better not to go home too late?" The girl who was still sitting by the window said seriously. "Beware of the devil's hour."

In this state, the world at night cannot be called safe.

"……what?"

***

The setting sun dyed the whole world in a beautiful but dangerous orange.

"The world looks like it's red."

After a period of rehearsal ended, Hana Serinuma, who was sitting on the roof panting, sighed.

Strange, the evening before...was it so red?

Regardless of the sky, the ground, or the buildings, they were all dyed a strong orange-even himself.

The girl opened her hands, and the white palms were immediately stained with the color of the setting sun.

"It's really red." The boy with short, smooth brown hair walked up to Serinuma Hana, and put his left hand in front of him to look into the distance.Obliquely in front of them, the huge sunset was slowly sinking towards the horizon, and only half of it remained in the sky.

"Although it is beautiful, it is also weird."

"That's right—Ah Choo."

The beautiful girl in the short-sleeved school uniform sneezed, and the wind that blew across the roof carried a chill that seemed to penetrate into her bones, making her goosebumps explode.

"Maybe this is a harbinger of what's going to happen." The handsome black-haired boy walked up to Serinuma Hana, bent down and put her on his coat. "In ancient times, there would always be 'visions' before major changes."

The boy gave a harmless smile, as if he didn't realize that he said something terrible.

"Please don't be scary at this time, Senior Liujian." Noticing the momentary stiffness of the boy beside her, Hanayi Serinuma shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liujian Yuma apologized with a smile, and looked at his companion who was still moving according to the script.

"I really put my heart and soul into the second subject." It was the first rehearsal, and I completely entered the state-should I say it is a professional, or a fanatic?

Erke Shima, who was dressed in the sunset, held the script in his hand and walked up and down on the rooftop while chanting, gesturing to swing a knife from time to time.

"Super handsome! Such a serious look."

Serinuma Hana nodded in agreement, and looked at her with bright eyes.The brown-haired junior who was on the side got angry and ran over.

"I'm coming too!"

Isn't it just rehearsal!

The promised fair competition, how can I let you be handsome alone!

The boys and girls finally walked out of the school gate when there was only a smear of red in the sky.

"Ah—I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted."

"That's where you are, young man, you are still far behind." The second division Shima, who didn't look tired at all, shook his index finger, "The real training will start tomorrow-I invited the senior Xianshi from the Kendo Department to give martial arts guidance .”

"When it comes to samurai, holding a knife is the most basic thing."

Several people divided into three factions at the school gate, which corresponded to the three directions of the school gate.

Gu Yu happens to be traveling with Liujian Yuma and Serinuma Hanayi.Although the three of them couldn't be said to be very familiar with each other, they were not at all speechless.Talking and laughing all the way, the time passed quickly.

The street lights on the side of the street flickered a few times and then turned on, illuminating the path of the three of them.

"Wait a moment."

The only man among the three reached out to block the two girls.Directly in front of them, there was a huge dog creature squatting with its back to them, not knowing what it was doing.

Although it is not uncommon to see a large dog, but it is exaggerated to this extent.Especially since it is not tied by a chain, it is really dangerous to walk over so hastily.

"Let's go another way." The boy lowered his voice and said to his companion beside him in a voice that would not disturb the dog.

"Ah."

Serinuma Hana nodded, and took a few steps back, planning to turn into the next intersection and take a detour.Although it will be a little farther, it is also safer than passing such a large dog.

But just as she stepped over, the big dog turned its head.Grinning and baring his teeth, he ran towards them.

"Let's go!" Seeing this, Liu Jian Yuma took a step across without thinking, opened his arms and blocked the two female companions with his body.

But just in the midst of this flash, the chance black hair caught the corner of his eyes.The thin girl rushed out from his armpit, pulled out a dagger from the side of her leg, met the green light in the eyes, and rushed up to the vicious dog, who seemed to be not a kind person at first glance.

The sharp blade of the short knife cut across the neck of the vicious dog, almost cutting off its thick neck.But no blood flowed from the wound, and the pitch-black ferocious dog turned into a cloud of black air in the air and dissipated silently.

"What, what's the matter, senior? It rushed over?"

The other girl who was blocked by the young man hurried around him at this moment and looked towards the empty intersection ahead.

"Did it escape?"

"Ah... um."

Noticing Gu Yu's 'shh' gesture, Liu Jian Yuma followed Serinuma Hana's guess and responded.

"It ran to the other side, let's go too."

Protecting the two girls and walking forward, the black-haired boy unconsciously turned his head to look at the intersection where the incident happened just now.There was nothing there, only a lonely street lamp standing on the edge, illuminating the entire intersection.

...As if everything just now was just his illusion.

There were no vicious dogs, and I didn't see... the scene where Gu Yu pulled out a short knife and cut the neck of a vicious dog.

Serinuma Hana's house was nearby, so she said goodbye to them at the next intersection.

When there were only Gu Yu and Liu Jian Yuma, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before.

Liu Jian Yuma's gaze could not help turning to Gu Yu's lap.

Unlike those girls who always wanted to make their skirts shorter, Gu Yu's skirt was so long that it almost covered her knees.At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but today, her skirt is so long... probably to cover the knife on her leg.

"Huh? Do you care about this child?"

Noticing his gaze, Gu Yu lightly patted the dagger tied to her leg through her skirt.

"that……"

Although he was surprised that Gu Yu carried a knife with him, he was more concerned about the dog that suddenly disappeared.

"That dog..."

"There are always some strange things in this world." The thin girl smiled slightly. "So it's better to go home early at night."

Liujian Yuma blinked, seeing that Gu Yu didn't intend to explain, so he didn't ask any further.After all, people always have secrets that are inconvenient to tell others.

"Then I won't ask any more questions, but... In any case, please protect yourself first."

The boy said to Gu Yu sincerely and sincerely.
