Fujimaru Rika felt a familiarity for some reason, just like... she had been here before.

Of course, her feeling was not the "Kurikawa Mountain" she had traveled with her parents, but the one in front of her...

It was raining heavily, and the sea of ​​fire burned around it...

Kurokawa Mountain.

She pursed her lips, licked the raindrops falling on her lips into her mouth, then took a step away from the burning flames for some unknown reason, and walked down the steep slope of the ridge.

There is a figure in the middle of the lake...Who is that? The culprit of this special point and disappearance case? Or is it that Lord Shan God?

Or are both?

Holding the simple version of the Seal of God's Power with both hands, Fujimaru Rika approached the lake carefully.

The heavy rain falling in the air made her unable to see things clearly, and the heat of the flames made her dizzy.

"Who are you--?"

She felt something was wrong with her spirit for some reason, but she insisted on asking loudly.

She could see that after hearing her call, the shadow-like existence turned around, as if looking at her.

"You seem to be more confused than when you left here last time?"

Such a voice rang in her ears.

Because of the sudden sound, Fujimaru Rika's body suddenly stiffened.

"Also...no wonder, you can't help but be a little hasty when you leave."

"So, who are you?"

Fujimaru Rika's body, which was frozen in place, was trembling involuntarily.

“…you’ll know the answer, but not now.”

The man was silent for a while before shook his head and said to Fujimaru Rika.

"That--did you create this special point?"

Fujimaru Rika asked again.

The figure raised his head and looked at Fujimaru Rika.

call--

boom!!!

A thunder flashed in the sky, bombarding the opposite side of the black lake, making Fujimaru Rika, who was so focused, frightened that she trembled suddenly.

And when she came to her senses-

That shadow has come to her.

She saw His lips moving, as if she was saying something, very simple, almost ending in her own bytes.

But Fujimaru Rika couldn't hear it - the thunder just now made her temporarily lose her hearing.

After a trance, Fujimaru Rika looked at it again.

The shadow had gone back at some point, but returned to the middle of the lake, and stood there motionless, as if it was growing in that place.

Growing in...that place...

Growing on Kurokawa Mountain...

For some reason, Fujimaru Rika felt a little "absurd" like this.

Growing on this mountain...is this really possible?

"What did you just say?"

Fujimaru Rika asked again, as she seemed to have got the answer, but she lost her hearing because of Thunder, but she couldn't understand the lips just now.

The figure did not answer again, and Fujimaru Rika felt her dizziness getting stronger and stronger.

The heavy rain was like bullets, with destructive power, as if it could penetrate her body.

The fire burned the top of the mountain like a melting pot, almost melting her.

She took another step, as if she wanted to get closer to some lakes and that shadow.

But before she could take a few steps, she fell to the ground softly because of the huge discomfort.

Kneeling next to the lake with one knee, pressing his hands on his knees, forcing him to stand up.

Can't do it.

Fujimaru Rika finally fell to the ground.

The consciousness gradually faded away, and half of her head was immersed in the water.

What did she see?

A girl, an orange-haired girl... is struggling underwater in the distance?

etc......

The moment the consciousness completely disappeared, Fujimaru Rika was shocked.

The struggling under the water...

Is it yourself?

......

When Fujimaru Rika opened her eyes, it was already the second day.

It should be the next day...

Fujimaru Rika lay on the tatami for the time being without moving, but just looked at the ceiling and thought with her slightly drowsy brain.

vomit--

A vomiting desire suddenly came from inside. Fujimaru Rika quickly sat up and pulled something not far away that should be a trash can.

"Hao—"

A large mouthful of turbid water was spit out by Tengmaru Rika. In addition to the water, there were... aquatic plants? bones?

Fujimaru Rika looked at the filth in the trash can and was stunned.

"Miss Lixiang, you are awake!"

It's Kana's voice.

Fujimaru Rika turned her head and found that Kana walked in with a towel.

"Miss Hona, is this...?"

Fujimaru Rika looked at her hands.

Still a feeling of dizziness...what exactly happened?

"We were going up the mountain to investigate yesterday, but Miss Fujimaru Takika suddenly fainted on the mountain road and almost fell down the mountain."

Kana's tone was filled with fear and patted her chest.

"Fortunately, Miss Nobu's skill is fast enough to catch Miss Lika and prevent Miss Lika from being hurt more seriously."

Suddenly fainting...?

Fujimaru Rika pinched her hands.

No, something is wrong...

Something must have happened...

But why can't I remember it?

Fujimaru Rika gritted her teeth.

During her fainting, she definitely didn't just faint. She should have taken other actions at that time, that is, what specific actions were...?

Fujimaru Rika subconsciously took out his seal of divine power behind her.

Then she was stunned.

In the simple version of the seal of the God's power, there is a gem bullet given to her by Miss Lawrence.

But I didn't load yesterday.

So, it turns out that something happened... it definitely happened.

But why can’t I remember it? Is it because I lost my memory? Or has the memory been deleted?

No matter which possibility it is, it is definitely not good news for Fujimaru Rika.

"Kana, has that lady woken up?"

A familiar and unfamiliar voice came over, interrupting Fujimaru Rika's intermittent thinking because of her drowsiness.

Looking up, that face is...
