Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

44. Dark Clouds

"Ha... uh"

The flowing guard caught water from his head.

Moving from hair to cooldown while dropping droplets.

Sabbath, Black Week. It hits Monday in Japan. Now it's the sixth moon called Sukiya Moon, and when it comes to Japan, June. Today is the month of the passing of water, the eighteenth.

Knowledge of these dates was also just finally remembered.

Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week. About thirty days a month. Twelve moons. Although these are different names, they were not significantly different from the modern planet. I guess this Grim Crows is a planet that is infinitely closer to the Earth's environment.

I wonder if I really have such a star, but I can't help it anymore because I'm actually there.

But the strange thing is that the units for time… 'minutes', 'seconds', 'week', etc. go through as they are, while the units for size have their own names for this world, such as' myre 'and' central '. It's like the culture of the planet is mixed with different cultures......

Anyway, that's why I decided to train early in the morning because it's getting brighter in the middle of June.

And if you train, you get hungry, so she went to the dining room for breakfast.

Because of the still early hours, many students will be asleep. I went upstairs to the quiet student building and was called from across the street.

"... Um"

Turning to his face, a little surprised because he didn't even feel any signs, there was an unexpected figure there for the shield.

"Oh? Oh, Lenore...? Good morning."

"... good morning"

Beautiful girl with blonde short glasses, silent and faceless.

That's all I know about Lenore. What do you care if this isn't the first time you two talk alone?

Immediately after wondering what was spoken of by such a girl, the question is iced away.

"... Mia, haven't you seen it?

"Huh? No..."

I met him in the dining room last night. That's all. I have never seen him on this Sabbath. I wasn't even there yesterday at dinner. I guess I'll be back later, and I didn't care about drift protection......

"He's not here?

Lenore snorts at the language of drift protection.

It's Monday if you say so. Naturally, there are classes.

"... lend Mia my notebook. I was planning on getting it back to you yesterday, but I waited too late to come back. But I really needed it, so I went to my room earlier. I didn't hear back from the call, and it was locked. It's bad for Mia, but she let me rip the door open."

You look lovely and aggressive, I think, but my chest bothered me more than that. If the problem had been solved, Lenore wouldn't be talking like this.

"... I wasn't there. It's not like I went back to college and went out of there. Probably not home yet..."

For some reason - deliberately, I felt my skin poppy.

"Until now, this kind of thing?

The quiet girl shook her head sideways as she sifted.

"... If something happens and I can't make it, I'm sure I'll get in touch with you.... I'm not even the kind of kid who loses class."

"Right..."

I don't know, Mia has a solid impression of that kind of place.

"Have you tried letting the comms in?

Also Lenore shakes her neck to the side.

"... I don't know where my parents are. I don't have the skills to connect to people on the move. … and if…"

Beyond that, she says.

I know what I'm trying to say.

What if the comms don't connect?

Lenore shrugged before thinking about what that meant.

"... I was just lost in judgment, and I found you, so I asked"

"Right...... right, it's still early, but I figured why don't we put the comms in first? Ask someone who's good at it."

Lenore nods and runs out. Liquid shielding also followed.

6: 30 a.m. A classmate of Mia and Lenore, he woke up a girl named Emeline who was good at communications and decided to have her communicate.

Jumping silver short hair and tears in small eyes. She was a plain looking girl whose face parts didn't claim too much personality.

Emeline, who rubs her sleepy eyes, says it's better to be outside when communicating with precision, and so on.

"This isn't a good place, so go out to the courtyard."

Along the way, I ran into Edvin, who apparently even started training in the morning.

"Lord Mia's not home, is he?

If you listen, the flaming 'Mad Dog' will surprise you too. If you ask me, I still say these things have never happened before.

As it was, Edvin also rendezvoused, and the four of us went out to the open part of the courtyard.

"Well, I'll try. Wait a minute."

Emeline closes her eyes and makes her fingers dance to the universe with a hand gesture she's used to. Drink and watch - not long, she said.

"I can't connect."

In the words, the drift shield felt thirsty in his mouth.

- No, it's not about thinking deeply. If I call my cell phone, it should just be a story that I didn't connect.

That's why Emeline said she was taking it lightly, too. You don't necessarily have to think worse.

But again, the fact that Mia hasn't gone back to college yet makes her chest squirm.

"What do you mean you can't connect to the comms... what's the occasion?

Liquid shield squeezes out his voice.

Emelin answered.

"Hmm... First, you think you haven't noticed the comms are coming? Time's up, and I don't know if he's still asleep."

Lifeguard reminded me of my lunch break the other day. Communications came in from Belgrette at Mia's place where she lay down to sleep, but she didn't notice. From the ripples of communication, there is no sound, etc. I don't know about drift protection. There may be something out there, but there's only some chance of overlooking it, like Mia did then.

"It's too far away. Sometimes I don't know."

Edvin says as he scratches his head.

"... and then you think you're in a difficult place to communicate? … some places are completely disconnected"

It was Lenore who groaned pompously.

As far as I heard the story, Lifeguard decided that such places were not very different from cell phones. After all, just because you don't respond to communications shouldn't mean you need to think seriously.

"Hmm... Mia, you were depressed by the ranking announcement - right? I don't feel comfortable going on correspondence, or embarking on a heart-healing journey..."

To Emeline's words, Lenore shook her neck to the side.

"... I communicated with Mia last night. I was fine. Instead of not feeling well, he seemed in a good mood. Everybody loves it. And Emeline."

"Heh? Oh, well. Mia..."

Lenore continues and sees drift protection.

"... you too.... as much as Belle loves it."

"What? Huh?

Suddenly, the boy got upset.

Ma'am, well, it's mia, and I don't suppose it makes any deep sense to say "I love you"......

And finally, she sees Edvin.

…………

I remained silent.

"... no, say something, Oi"

"... Edvin said he was an idiot"

"Uh, no. I knew it. I knew it. Damn... that gacha..."

"... stupid, but he's a good guy"

To the words, Edvin lay down his face and muttered "... I want to..." again.

"Hmmm... did you say anything else when you communicated?

Answer the question of drift protection by shaking Lenore.

"... especially.... After all, I can't imagine being gone like this"

"It's a little early, but why don't we fly over to my parents' house?

Everyone nods at that Emeline suggestion.

Immediately after flying communications, a voice responded, supposedly a magnificent man.

'... Yes. It's ungraded.'

"Oh, uh, sorry about earlier in the morning. My name is Emeline and I'm Mia's classmate... er, is it your father?

"Oh, oh... yeah... no... Mia... Mia, take care of me..."

Mia's father.

I felt like I was tired and squeamish somewhere.

I hear my parents are poor farmers. I guess it's a constant struggle.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mia has already left the house, hasn't she?

'Yeah... yesterday..., yesterday morning. I'm on my way.'

…………

Lifeguard remembered something hooked up there.

Forget about it, it feels like something's on your throat.

"Oh, yeah, right. Erm..."

I don't know what to say from there, I guess I'm in trouble. To Emeline looking at this one, Lenore nodded and put up one finger to show. Knock that finger down on the side.

I didn't know what that meant, but Emeline told him across the line with a slightly surprising look on her face.

"Wow, I get it. Uh, well, excuse me -!

I finished communicating.

"Ha. I wonder if it's gone unnatural. Are you glad you hung up?

"... yeah. I think you'd be worried if I told you Mia wasn't there."

That sign on Lenore seemed to mean 'out of communication'.

"Yesterday morning, I was already out...?

Surprisingly, Edvin says.

"After a whole day, I can't believe I'm not back in college... just a little bit, that's crazy..."

Emeline, who looked mild at first, also seemed to have begun to feel the anomaly.

- That's right. Why did you...

"Did you do something? Aliumi."
