458 – 「Episode: Red Moon」 # 2

There are things that are taken for granted in the world.

The water of the world flows into the sea.

There are clouds floating in the sky.

When spring goes, summer comes.

No one can explain why it is natural.

It was simply a kind of ‘law’ or an absolutely unchanging truth that had been in place for a long time since the creation of the world.

Everyone would have thought that these truths would be kept forever until the eternal lifespan given to the world came to an end—.

Today.

An “Unusual event” Has occurred in the world.

━Crumbling… !

The first to notice the abnormality were the animals.

Time when everyone is asleep.

Animals with sensitive senses were the first to notice that there was a ‘problem’ in the world.

Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk-.

A beautiful spider with iridescent fur pounded the face of Nike, who was sleeping peacefully in the club room, with its front legs.

━Kkeongkeong… !

There was a legend that when a fire broke out in the house while the owner was asleep, a dog or cat alerted him to the danger and saved his life.

In the same way, the wolf spider, Kkeokkeongi, tried to warn the world of the approaching ‘danger’ by pounding on the face of his friend, companion, and owner, Nike Mokemoke.

From noble mtl dot come

“Ugh, the sun hasn’t risen yet. It’s early morning… What’s the matter. Are you hungry?”

Nike, who had been in a deep sleep, came to her senses due to Kkeongkeongi’s fuss

Kkongkkung was originally a quiet wolf spider.

He was a good friend who never grew at people, and even when nymphs or small children pulled his legs and mistreated him, he would just run away and not bite or attack him.

━Crumbling… !

The friend puffed out his fur and growled at Nike as if he was angry about something.

In this situation, Nike wondered if he had fallen asleep and almost crushed himself with a carpet.

“Are you mad because of me?”

━Hey…

In response to Nike’s question, Kkungkung made a slightly pitiful sound.

It looks like he’s probably not angry because of Nike.

“Why is Keongkeong like that?”

Nike woke up, rubbing her puffy eyes as the energy of the early morning did not go away, and placed Kungkyungi on her palm and looked around.

“Huh?”

Barrrr-.

Now I see that he was shaking.

The growling of the snake was not an expression of anger, but of ‘fear’.

It was an animal that knew grace and nobility, but at the same time it was also a wise and brave animal.

The sight of him rushing towards the ‘swarm of rats’ hiding in the club room’s food warehouse was truly a brave watchman.

How could he be so scared by ‘something’ like that?

“Did you have a nightmare?”

Nike stroked Kungkung’s back with his fingers and turned his head.

Tak-.

When I turned on the lamp, the dark room became a little brighter.

It’s already been a month since Victor left.

Nike got used to living in this club room.

However.

The room seemed particularly dark today.

In the fall, when summer was long behind us, Nike stretched out her hand on the table, thinking it was because of the dim dawn as we were getting ready to face winter.

Tick, tick -.

There was a clock on the table that appeared to have been used by Victor.

8:05.

The time the clock showed was 8:05.

“Is it broken? “I hurt it last night.”

Since it was 8:05 in the morning, the world was too dark.

There are two hypotheses that can come to mind.

The clock is broken.

And Nike, who was exhausted from work such as ‘Victor’ and ‘Count Winter’, fell into a deep sleep and slept through the entire morning and afternoon of the day until 8 PM.

“…”

But Nike felt a little strange.

On the one hand, Nike was a person with sharp ‘sense’ like an animal.

He couldn’t have overslept this much.

And there is no way the clock that was wounded yesterday was broken.

“…”

Nike added one more hypothesis.

Of course, that hypothesis was nonsense.

Because there was a law in the world that never changed.

━Hey…

However, Nike slowly opened the door to the club room as she saw the always cheerful wolf spider, Kkeokkeongi, trembling in fear on Nike’s palm

Rumble, Giik-.

When the door opened, I saw the world.

It was a world where everything was black.

It was strange for it to be night.

Because the stars that had always beautifully decorated the Ludens sky did not shine.

“… “That is.”

Creepy-.

Nike felt goosebumps as if a sharp dagger was running down her spine.

Cheeeeek-.

At the end of Nike’s gaze, water was spewing out from the sprinkler that Victor had installed near the club room.

It was a device that automatically sprayed water from 8 a.M. To 8:10 a.M. To nurture lettuce and vegetables.

“… Right now, it’s 8:05 in the morning.”

Nike was sure that it was morning.

However, the freshness and splendor of morning dawn did not exist anywhere.

The morning sun did not rise.

The moon had lost its light and was floating in the dark sky.

It was a large red moon, about 5 times larger than the previous one.

No.

─Is that really the moon─.

Unknown.

What is certain is today.

The only thing that could be called the rules of the world was broken.

* * *

“Victoria! Explain how this happened!”

A morning without the sun rising.

Enio went to Victorica’s dorm room and knocked on the door.

Two Victoricas appeared through the door.

They all had serious and serious expressions.

Enio asked them again.

“How on earth did this happen!? “The morning sun hasn’t risen!”

“… I don’t know either. Rather, I want to ask you, Enio.”

Little Victoria shook her head.

Then the big one, Victoria, said as if she remembered something.

“If you think about it… From one day after I got the crown, the darkness continued without the sun rising. The sun no longer rises in the morning. Perhaps…”

Perhaps the darkness after the ending seen by veteran Victorica has now descended.

Her last memory was that the magical power of the streetlight, which held on until the end, flickered on and off until it expired, and everyone was immersed in that darkness.

“But I’m not sure.”

Veteran Victorica soon denied her opinion.

That’s why she was simple

It was because of the huge moon floating in the sky.

It was a red moon.

“… It’s my first time seeing something like that. I have no idea what that is. At first glance, it looks like the moon… I wonder if that is really the moon…”

It’s really red like blood.

Looking at that creepy sight, it felt like Victorica, a veteran who had been through all sorts of things, was being eaten away.

The student council president, little Victorica, said.

“No matter how much you think about it, it’s not an ordinary thing. Bring people together. “It would be best to activate disaster level 0 and evacuate everyone to the main auditorium and each underground bunker.”

That the sun does not rise.

No matter how you think about it, the fact that there was a blazing red moon there seemed like a sign of something dangerous.

“Maybe he’s crazy… , No, the destruction that Grand Wizard Merlin spoke of may have meant today. I’ll go see Merlin first. That man might know something.”

After giving full authority to Enio and her other self, Victorica headed to her detention center where the “Mad prophet” Was tied up.

“The sun is not rising…”

“… “What on earth is that moon?”

“No, I don’t know. “I think it’s better not to look.”

Everyone walking around on the streets was scared.

The only emotion in their eyes is ‘fear.’

Victorica recalled how busy she had been working until last night.

The sudden rampage of ‘Count de Winter’.

And I remember working overtime to process the numerous items found in the treasure chest.

I thought it was a difficult day.

However, I had no idea that the sun would not rise the next day.

It will be the same for them too.

Victorica displayed several beads made of light in her hands.

“This is a disaster! Everyone, as you have always practiced, evacuate to the designated shelter! “Orbs of light will be placed here and there, so be careful not to get hurt!”

Student council president Victorica’s words had a part of reassuring people.

One by one, they all made their way to the place where they needed to evacuate, with steps trembling with fear.

That’s how we arrived at the detention center.

There, many executive agents and the executive committee members who commanded them were buzzing from early morning.

“What’s the matter? Is it because the sun hasn’t risen?”

Victorica asked.

Then Skadi said with a rather sad expression.

“That too, but there’s a problem, Chairman. Although it has been thoroughly controlled, I think it would be a good idea to go inside and check the situation for yourself.”

In response to Skadi’s sincere suggestion her her her, Victorica also entered the detention center with her sincere heart her her her.

“W-what is this?”

Victorica asked.

Victorica’s eyes saw red blood flowing inside her cage.

There was a man lying in the pool of blood.

He was like a madman in the wilderness, dressed in shabby rags and with a bushy beard.

“Merlin!”

Victorica hurriedly entered the cage of the detention center.

When she placed her fingers on the nape of his neck her her, which was lying face down on the floor, a chill that was colder than she thought flowed through her whole body her her, as if it was grazing the nape of Victorica’s neck her her her her.

“… You’re dead! What happened? Skadi! Hilde! What happened!?”

Victorica asked.

Merlin is an ‘important’ person.

She felt a little dizzying despair that such a person had died like this.

Hilde shook her head at that.

“By the time we found it, it was already too late. The cause of death was a strong impact to the forehead of her. The wizard Merlin died by hitting her head on the wall of the detention center. Here, like this. With just one blow.”

The blood was caked on Merlin’s forehead.

And there is blood on the walls of the detention center.

Skadi stuck out her tongue at that sight.

“You mean she killed herself with just one headbutt?”

Merlin was originally a great wizard.

However, he was also a ‘madman’ who wandered the sea alone for decades after her disappearance.

He suddenly hit his head on the wall and died.

Victoria’s eyes looked around the cell in the detention center where Merlin was imprisoned.

Then she discovered something.

It looked like a man had written it on a stone floor with blood flowing from his forehead.

It is not easy to recognize because it is very small and blurry.

“Hell—it’s full—they’re flowing back to the ground.” Their cries begin from all directions. The world is today. There is now nowhere to run or hide─.”

“…”

There was only one recognizable sentence.

It’s just that there is nowhere to run or hide.

Swoosh-.

At that time, Merlin stood up.

As if nothing had happened.

It was a natural attitude, like a person who overslept wakes up.

Skadi looks at this and shouts in surprise.

“What, old man! Was he alive? They say it’s okay even if it rots! The Archmage is different!”

Zek-.

It was when Skadi was about to enter the detention center’s cell

Victorica sensed something about her and shouted.

“Everyone get out of solitary confinement!”
