Kamijou Touma stood at the intersection after class.
Who came up with the torture for students during the miserable time when they have to take tutoring even during summer vacation?
While Kamijou was thinking this, his companions couldn't feel the pain at all and were talking enthusiastically.
"Ah, he is a lucky guy to receive extracurricular tutoring from Mr. Xiaomeng. You think so too, right? Tsuchimikado."
The boy with the nickname "Blue Hair Earring" narrowed his eyes and talked about a topic that made Kamijou's blood pressure soar.
Although it was indeed rumored that there were students in their high school who failed the exams and had to accept the guidance of Teacher Xiaomoe, Kamijou Touma was definitely not such a person.
"Yes, you have to be grateful, meow."
The boy in sunglasses wearing a summer shirt also shouted.
As if they had agreed, these two guys who didn't need tutoring met Kamijou Touma by chance at the school gate.
"...Are you two just so free? Are you just waiting for me just to ridicule Mr. Kamijou? Damn it!"
Consciously making friends, I accidentally cursed with a slumped face.
What a misfortune.
Kamijou sighed in his heart. He had never felt that the time spent waiting for the traffic lights was so long.
"How is that possible? In fact, we just watched Little Alyssa's performance."
The blue-haired man said as if he was reminiscing.
"Little Alyssa?"
Kamijou muttered strangely, as if he had heard the name somewhere.
"What? You don't know? Alyssa, the most popular singer recently, Minghu Alyssa!"
As if he wanted to re-examine Kamijou Touma, the blue-haired Earring took out his mobile phone and showed the picture he just took to the latter's eyes.
The idol girl wearing a cute outfit was smiling broadly and was frozen in the moment of singing heartily.
"oh oh."
Kamijou nodded in agreement, but actually he was still thinking about who she was.
"Humph, indeed, gold always shines. I heard that she had been performing on the streets before, until she was discovered by the people of the "Star Track Gate Club", and she was finally able to step onto a bigger stage."
"From now on, I will always support her~"
The blue-haired man with earrings held up the mobile phone as if he had found a treasure.
In response, Kamijou hid his expression and unconsciously took two steps away from him.
It's not good to be treated as the same kind of people.
he thought.
The green light finally came on.
Kamijou felt happy from the bottom of his heart and was about to lift his feet.
A landscape that was incompatible with this place ran into his sight.
The other end of the pedestrian bridge.
A girl with a sword on her waist and makeup like a fairy.
A silver-haired nun wearing a white monastic uniform, biting a crepe.
There is also a little beret girl who is holding a guide map and dressed a bit like a maid and a bit like a dress.
A strange trio walks on the zebra crossing diagonally opposite.
...are there any y activities?
Kamijou guessed.
Although this combination is eye-catching, it is also within the scope of logic in Academy City.
"Why don't you leave, Ashang?"
Noticing someone pulling down Tsuchimikado, he turned around to ask, and then looked in the direction of his gaze.
Um?
The familiar figure made him startled, but he quickly covered it up and pretended that he didn't recognize him.
Now one of the ordinary high school students in a certain high school, Tsuchimikado shouted maliciously.
"Yeah, I see, that's it, hey, blue-haired earring, I'm peeking at the beautiful girl passing by."
"Really?!"
The blue-haired Earring who was walking at the front also shouted.
"Tsuchimikado! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Before the traffic light changed again, Kamijou, furious, quickly chased after him.
Both sides were laughing and having fun.
Lopsided.
…
…
Night covers the sky.
But for Retili Dagururud, the wait for this moment has been so long.
She has grown up to the point where she has already forgotten her original self.
Eternal life is both a luxury and a curse.
"Ahh..."
At the top of the "Star Track Gate Club", a young-looking girl was sitting on her knees on the ground, murmuring uncontrollably.
This pain of loss, this passing time.
When Retili discovered that the wound on her arm was no longer healing, she almost couldn't wait to point to her heart.
The doll girl longs for eternal sleep.
Moon dew drops from another world do appear to dispel magical effects.
But this alone is not enough to completely purify Leitili's problems.
But at least, she finally found her direction.
The extreme madness slowly dissipated a little from her face.
"I have given you the theoretical model on how to collect the magic power of the moon. With your ability, it will not be too difficult to collect it again."
The girl with the name of "Miko" said calmly.
Retili is a magician who is good at Greek astrology, so she naturally knows how to interpret it.
She doesn't want to define the life that others have experienced, but she can give enough time to choose.
"Before that, let's complete our contract."
Frenda came to Retili.
"...Haha, I'm sorry for making you laugh."
The immortal witch calmed down her emotions and returned to smiling, as if everything before had never happened.
But the respect in his words increased a lot.
Under Frenda's gaze, Retili slowly walked to the long table and opened the secret compartment that only she knew.
In the center of the room, a model gradually rose from the ground.
That was the deal between the two.
It is also the world-class magic mechanism that Retili once placed high hopes on, and the real core of "Endymion".
"That's it."
"The key to the Star Orbit Gate will be officially entrusted to you."
Retili bowed solemnly, raised her right arm and bowed slightly, completing the gentleman's etiquette.
It is both consent and surrender.
everything's ready.
The universe is the stage.
"Just let me entertain you."
…
…
School District 7.
In the building with no doors or windows, countless dark red warning signals sounded.
The owner of the hanging upside down did not pay attention to these abnormalities, as if he had expected them.
A few seconds later, Academy City's chairman calmly opened his eyes.
In front of him, the space began to change, and ripples appeared like water drops falling.
"Hmm... From a guest's point of view, it's really a rough way to pay a visit."
Aleister made a silent comment.
then.
All noise is gone.
"Really? I'm quite satisfied."
The 'man' smiled softly.
‘She’ held the pointed witch hat and sat on the broom in the void with casual movements.
Although they have never met each other before, they both use the tone of meeting 'old friends'.
Then.
"How about we talk about it?"
‘She’ said a name that had long been buried in history.
"Mr. Edward Alexander."
"..."
This is the first face-to-face encounter between "Demon" and "Human".
Start with this.
The longest day in Academy City——
has arrived.
