[Comprehensive] King's Best Friend

——Is she... dying soon?

Fujimaru Tatsuka lay on the ground in embarrassment, trying to open her eyes, but her eyelids were already overwhelmed, and she narrowed her eyes with difficulty, revealing the red sky above.

The fire-like color spread to the end of the sky, as if it was going to burn the whole world, it was gorgeous and tragic.

In fact, in Tatsuka Fujimaru's memory, about 15 minutes ago, the sky was still clear and blue, like a wide and peaceful picture scroll, dotted with soft clouds, showing the rare good weather.

But suddenly, an incomparably huge sword appeared in the sky—it was red all over, had a strange shape, and engraved mysterious and simple patterns on it.The sword was surrounded by raging flames, and the heat distorted the air, roaring ferociously like a raging beast.

It was a scene that almost only existed in legends or fantasies, but at this very moment, with its unbelievably overwhelming power, it came here unexpectedly.

Fujimaru Tachika has lived as an ordinary person for 16 years. After encountering such a battle at first glance, after the initial shock and shock, all that is left is full of confusion and uneasiness.Like a small animal running around because of a feeling before the earthquake, there seemed to be a voice in her mind frantically urging herself to escape.

So, she immediately gave up her original weekend plan, turned around and rushed to the subway station without hesitation, determined to hide and go home as soon as possible.

Facts have proved that her decision is correct.

Because just after she hadn't run far, the scarlet sword that was hovering high in the sky suddenly began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a flower that withered overnight, cracked into the bone, and then shattered inch by inch.

After reaching a certain limit, the sword, which seemed to be poured from flames, was finally overwhelmed and fell from the sky.

At that moment, Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help but think, such a big sword, falling from such a high place, would definitely cause a lot of damage—probably a house?one building?a whole street?A region?

——No, it is centered on it, including the surrounding 70 people, all of them!

Fujimaru Tachika, who was not far from the place where she fell, naturally did not escape.

So now, Fujimaru Tachika was lying on the ground unconsciously, and in her dim vision, it was as tragic and messy as the end of the world.

There are wreckage of buildings everywhere, and the cold steel bars reveal hideous skeletons, standing twistedly on the ground.The sparks burst and crackled, and the thick smoke drifted in, painting the pale land with even more desperate darkness.

"hiss--"

Fujimaru Tachika just tried to move a little, and then felt a heart-piercing pain.His whole body seemed to be screaming, and his blood turned cold without heat.

——Ah, she really is going to die soon.However, in this case...

"Isn't it too inexplicable..."

At the last moment of losing consciousness, the girl who had not figured out the situation but was in trouble couldn't help moving her lips and complained in a low voice.

And after that, it was silent, as if reaching eternal darkness.

……

I don't know if it was a second or a long time - when consciousness regained consciousness again, there was a strange and completely unknown place in front of me.

Fujimaru Tachika stood in a pitch-black space, although theoretically he should not be able to see anything, yet he was able to see his own existence without hindrance.But even so, this place with nothing but itself is enough to make people gradually panic.

"here it is……"

"Tick-tock-"

Before he could finish his hesitant words, the sound of water dripping suddenly came from beside his ears.

Accompanied by this strange rhythm, layers of golden ripples visible to the naked eye fainted in the space, and then——

Four doors appeared in front of her.

Huge, golden, engraved with gorgeous and noble lines, rising almost arrogantly.

The closed door was silently overlooking the strange human beings who broke into this place, and it exuded a breathless sacredness and majesty.

Fujimaru Tachika was stunned for a while, before slowly recovering from this ancient power.Afterwards, she nervously curled her fingertips, and carefully and carefully looked at the four doors.

Although the four doors are all the same size, if you look closely, you will find that the lines engraved on each door are different, rather the style difference is quite obvious. Even a layman like her, who knows nothing about art construction, can see it at a glance. degree of distinction.

It's almost like - four completely different "civilizations".

Because apart from these four doors, it seems that there is no other choice.

Therefore, Fujimaru Tachika, who had no idea where to go, hesitated for a while, then walked to the first door in the order, and then pushed it open with all his strength. it.

"Squeak-"

Following this heavy sound, the world inside the door slowly unfolded towards the ignorant girl who broke in.

"what……"

After the vision was clear, Fujimaru Tachika stared at the scene in front of him, and opened his mouth blankly.

What does she want to say?

— can’t say anything.

Because at that moment, like a believer who had trekked for half his life and finally saw a miracle, the sudden shock that hit the soul even deprived the girl of her language ability for a time, so that except for the most primitive modal particles, she was completely speechless. Can't describe more.

—It was a temple.

With a strong exotic style, the dazzling golden color is everywhere, and the exquisite rare treasures are just rightly decorated everywhere, and every centimeter of the outline is the perfect combination of huge financial resources and peak skills.

Although it is so extravagant, it is miraculously not sluggish. If I have to say it, it is probably——brilliance.

——It is incomparable, a radiance like the sun rising in front of your eyes.

Fujimaru Tachika patted her face stupidly, trying to cheer herself up from this irresistible shock, and then she finally noticed with belatedness——in the center of the temple, between the high stairs On, is a throne.

And on the throne... there is a young man.

The young man has short silver hair, and the clothes on his body are not complicated. Most of them are composed of white silk and gold ornaments. They are majestic and dignified, as if he was born to sit there, aloof and admired by the world.

But at this moment, the young man was resting his head on one hand, his eyes closed tightly, as if sleeping peacefully.

Fujimaru Tachika opened her mouth in confusion, and wanted to speak out several times, but she held back at the last moment—it was definitely not her cowardice, but... Obviously the other party didn't look fierce or even handsome at all, but I don't know Why, how should I put it, in short... don't dare to disturb me at all, what should I do? !

Just when Fujimaru Tachika was feeling overwhelmed, the young man on the throne slowly opened his eyes without knowing when.

"At first I thought it was an illusion, but now it seems that there are indeed intruders."

The young man raised his eyes unhurriedly, the magnificent purple eyes flickered with a soul-stirring brilliance, as if he had glimpsed the endless sea of ​​flowers blooming under the sun.

"That, I, I, I..."

Fujimaru Tachika felt that she had suddenly become extremely clumsy. After stammering for a while, she simply closed her eyes and bowed abruptly: "I'm so sorry for disturbing you!"

The young man was silent for a while when he heard the words, and then he seemed to find it interesting, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his raised lips: "It's not disturbing, but it's true that no one has visited me for a long time."

When the young man spoke, he still maintained a leisurely posture with one hand on the side of his face, which seemed to be chatting casually, which relieved Fujimaru Tatsuka's tension to a large extent.

So, the girl who summoned up her courage finally couldn't help asking the question she cares most about now: "Where is this place? To be honest, I just experienced a disaster before this, and I was almost on the verge of death." , so—could it be said...is this the underworld?”

That's right, that's right, if she was still alive, how could she have arrived at this place that obviously does not belong to the present world? Thinking about it this way, is she really cold? qaq

Probably because he felt that his death was too hard, Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help showing a depressed look of luck.

"Underworld?"

The young man on the throne narrowed his eyes slightly, then thought of something, raised his eyebrows meaningfully and said: "If that guy knows that someone regards his glorious compound temple as a dark underworld, I'm afraid he will be self-willed. Got angry."

Having said that, the young man's brows were full of interest, almost as if he was expecting this scene to happen.

"Light, the glorious compound temple?" Fujimaru Tatsuka asked in a daze, "Am I not dead?"

"Although your soul is indeed very unstable, you still have a breath."

The young man stared at the girl, and after the shocked expression on the other side's face "I'm still alive?!", he added unhurriedly: "However, if you continue to ignore it like this, you will probably die soon. .”

Fujimaru Tachika: ... Hey!

"You don't have to look like that."

When the girl was about to cry, the young man slowly stood up from the throne, and the golden pendants rang out, reflecting the dazzling brilliance: "Before you entered this temple, you should have seen those four doors Bar."

"En? En." Fujimaru Tatsuka nodded ignorantly.

"Those four doors are built into my Hall of Valor." The young man looked at the girl, his clear purple eyes seeming to see into the other's soul: "Behind different doors are different destinies. And now, Be thankful - you picked the right one."

The four doors represent the four identities - saint, divine creation, demon god, and magician.

Although he is essentially the young man himself, but depending on his dominant identity, he will always show some subtle differences in some places.

However, the door opened by Fujimaru Tachika made the young man lean towards the "sage", and in the creed he upholds, there is——

"Don't refuse the victim's request for help."

The young man walked down the stairs step by step, came to the girl, and then stretched out his hand to her: "So, your decision?"

Fujimaru Tachika slowly raised his hand, holding the opponent with imperceptible tremors.Then, she stared at the young man, praying like a devout believer: "Please—help me."

The young man nodded slightly, his calm expression was like the indifference and compassion of a god——

"as you wish."
