Vol 1 Chapter 1 (1/2)

ISnR – V1 – C1

1

On that day, the end had come

The world was scorched, the earth shattered, the sky was stained red in midday

“Haa, haa!”

I ran desperately to escape the city which was turned into ruins

Father wasn’t longer there

Mother wasn’t longer there as well

My hoone

The school was gone

The city was gone

There was no one and nothing I could rely on, so for the ti I fled in order to survive

Of course, I was scared of dying

But, evenmy family——my little sister

“——! This way!”

I turned around and called my little sister’s name

That important name… I couldn’t recall as it

Even though I could remember the sensation of our hands that had joined, not only I couldn’t remember her name, her face reflected in my eyes appeared hazy like a worn-out photo——

That’s when I realized it was a dream

It was both a dream and a memory

A dreao

That’s why I kneill happen after this

crash!!

A building collapsed along with the sound of a tremendous collision

The rubble of the building blocked our way

“?!”

As I unconsciously stopped ht was reflected in my eyes

There was a boy whose chest was pierced with a hand and a girl who skewered him

The two stood on top of a mountain of rubble and their battle looked like it was at its settlement

The boy spit blood fro onto the rubble

“How dare you give me so much trouble”

Having blood spat over her in return, the girl sighed as if bored

Judging by her attitude, she didn’t feel any regret afterhim

“——Hm?”

The girl looked our way

“Ah, uu…”

Despite the large distance between us, I felt paralyzed as she pinned aze

I screamed to myself “run away”

I desperately yelled at myself “take your little sister and run”

But because this was an event of the past, there was no point in that act

Past couldn’t be changed anyhow

Also… even if my voice arrived in there, it wouldn’t help much

“Heyy, human”

Looking strangely casual, the girl spoke to ot off the rubble

Based on her looks, the girl was 15 or 16——but that was just her appearance, I knew that she isn’t normal

Nors

Norh a human chest with bare hand

A normal person can’t set an entire city ablaze

“Hm〜mm”

The inhuirl with human appearance stared at us as if to evaluate us

“…… ”

Meanwhile, I felt very uncomfortable

After about twenty seconds, the girl suddenly nodded

“That looks nice, give it to me”

“……!”

What the girl pointed at, was my little sister

“Hiiih…!”

A quiet scream leaked out of my little sister’s mouth

“A-ah, ”

I trembled as I held my little sister’s hand

I knew I couldn’t refuse the girl’s request

I’ve seen it by chance from my home’s

How this girl——and the boy as killed earlier—&mdash

(adsbygoogle = adsbygoogle || [])push({});

have appeared in the city’s sky and started battling

And how the round, the entire scenery had turned into that of ruins

Now, I knew

I knehat happened on that day in my city and all over the world

And of course, I knew the culprits behind this disaster

——The mythical Gods

Mayan-Aztec y

japanese y

Hindu y

Egyptian y

Greek y

Norse y

Celtic y

Seven ies passed down all over the world

Gods of thesefrom the world of Gods into the human world, they started a war

A war between Gods, war between ies

Ten years ago, the disaster had poured down upon the world for just three days

In just three days of war a third of Eurasian continent vanished and five billion of people died

The myth war That’s how it’s called now

“Hii, ngh…”

Of course, irl in front of me was a Goddess

Butshe was

And yet——

“U-uwaaahhhh!”

——I fought back against her

I punched the one who tried to take away my little sister

“Oh”

Probably surprised byherself… but, a six-year old child’s fist was far too powerless, pa out a feeble sound

“Uwa-aaaahh!”

Still, I continued to beat her desperately

No, I fought

Considering the difference in ability between hting”, but I resisted with all I had in order to protect my little sister

“Haha”

The girl tra

To her, itaway a fly but my body was bloay several meters and I rammed into mountain of rubble head-on

“Gyaaaahhh!”

My right eye had turned hot as if burning, I held down the blood gushi+ng out with my both hands

“——! Run away!”

I screamed loudly towards the other side of my field of vision, stained by blood and tears

“Onii…cha…”

In the end, I heard my sister call me with feeble voice

…possibly because my memory of what happened after that was hazy, the scene turned even more blurry

After the girl did soain approached me

“…——, …——”

And, said so

I couldn’t remember what she said at all

Then the girl extended her hand towards me

That’s when I lost my consciousness

When I woke up again, all that was left around me was the city’s ruin

In exchange, there were no traces of my little sister left

No blood

No body

There was nothing that indicated my little sister was killed

Maybe she was kidnapped

But there was no trace left behind

Oreven more horrific was done to her

The amount of clues: zero

But… the possibility of her being alive wasn’t zero

“…… I’ll slaughter you…”

I was filled with intent to murder

A pitch black ema

As it welled up froly that blood has come out

I’ll kill the Gods who killed my parents

I’ll kill the Gods who killed my friends

I’ll kill the Gods who had us siblings go through this

Once I have slaughtered the Gods… I’ll find the one who took et her back

On that day, my way of life was decided

“…-sanRaika-san”

“……!!”

I suddenly woke up having my shoulder shaken

At the same time, my chair let out a loud sound

“Ah…”

This was a classroom

I wasn’t in the middle of rubble

I wasn’t an injured child, but a high school student showered in painful gazes

“shi+nzenRaika-kun Have you woken up?”

Our hoiRyuuto, a man with an untidy beard asked with a smile

“Yes… I’m sorry”

“No, it’s fine, really Don’t mind it”

Si-sensei resu happened

The gazes which gathered onuncomfortable I sat back down on my seat

“Raika-san, are you all right? You seehtmare…”

Maria Mint as sitting on the seat next to mine asked worriedly

It seemed like she was the one to wake me up

“Yeah, I’m fine…”

I answered so, but I wasn’t fine at all

I desperately hid h

Pain ran through my head and unpleasant, cold sweat flowed down my back

And above all, my left eye throbbed horribly

I suppressed the eyeball that pulsated beneath my eyelid

That dreaain, huh…

Imy eye

Ten year ago I lost ery

That’s why ht eyes had different colors

The one throbbing was the left eye, one I had since I was born

The eyeball that had my sisters appearance burned into it on that day…

It didn’t get in the way of normal everyday life, but whenever I see that drea

I’ve seen that dream hundreds, thousands of times so far

With every time I’ve seen it, I recalled what happened back then countless times

——Ten years ago, the Myth War which lasted for three days had left a huge scar on the world

After three days since Myth War broke out, Gods have suddenly disappeared

Since then up to this day, there was no second co of Gods to this world

Therefore, htmare”

If they think of it as of a bad dreaain

However, as long as I continued to see that dreaet that day

Even now, after ten years passed

“……ngh”

When I strongly clenched my teeth——a handkerchief was offered to me from the side

“There you go”

It was Maria’s

I reflexively took the handkerchief from her

“…thank you”

“It’s fine, just don’t force yourself too much”

S notes

I was at a loss for a ratefully used the handkerchief

The gentle sensation I felt as I put it against my forehead calmed my mood only for a moment

“Yo, Raika Not enough sleep?”

That’s when a voice had called out to me from behind

KunisakiKojiro who seats behind me seemed to have spoken to me

“Yeah, a bit”

“What〜? Are you doing soht that makes you lack sleep〜?”

“…stop talking foolish and get back to listening to class”

I lightly riposted to Kunisaki as pokingattention

I calmed down considerably thanks to the two and could take class normally

The ti we approached the end of classes

“Well then, next there’s an ‘exah for my classes”

Suddenly Hakonogi-sensei said so and put down the chalk

Moh the classroom

Seeing that, the unshaven teacher shtly

“Ahh, it’s you first tiht Then let ive you a simple explanation”

Hakonogi-sensei put his hands on the desk and looked over the classroom

“Ueneral examination we found that there’s a Seventh Sense Factor in all of you and have gathered you all in this school”

General examinationSeventh Sense Factor

These two ter in everyday life had heavyfor this school’s students

——After the huone various changed

Leaving out the uniuration of Eucharistia – Sacrament Control Mechanism

Loosely speaking, Eucharistia was an organization that cleaned up after the Myth War

The past battlefields of Gods have a left behind a residual divine phenomenon beyond human wisdom

The s is part of Eucharistia’s job

The examination was carried out to see if there’s any indication of a Seventh Sense

Seventh Sense was also called Seventh Factor, speaking in a cliche irls were capable of using

This was a curse spread all over during the Gods’ battles——it’s said to be the influence of the factors, but no detailed information is known

While it was unknown, it was said to be potentially dangerous

Thats why the adults decided tochildren

The results was this school Or to be precise, this artificial island with a school

The island’s name was Laurasia Island

Laurasia Island was an island on Laurasia Sea which had foro Built in the center of it was this Laurasia Island

I have turned fifteen on this island and lived here together with other kids discovered to have a factor in them, as well as Eucharistia’s staff

Well, it was an isolation facility so to speak

Adults watch over kids as not to allow them to escape We are unable to leave the island until our factors disappear naturally, which is supposed to happen not earlier than e’re eighteen years old

The school——since there was no other educational institutions on the island, it was simply referred to as “the school”——was that kind of facility “Examination” referred to the research of a factor which happened once a month

If a factor turns positive in here, it will be judged as a serious affair

The entire world wishes to forget the Myth War entirely

If it was known that there were people who harbored Gods’ curse in their bodies, they wouldn’t be able to lead decent lives

The entire classroohed frivolously as usual

“Well, there’s plenty of rumors about Seventh Sense outside, but you don’t have to worry so much In fact, the probability of a positive is lower than 0001 You ht have heard rumors that people with superpowers killed people, but that’s a mistake as well The fact is that people who held superpowers had went out of control and killed himself And of that too, there were only five cases over last ten years The talk of the people is unfounded nonsense”

Hearing his polite explanation, several people leaked sighs of relief

It didn’t i-sensei’s words seemed to have eased the tension

Since I knew those nue at all, but I could hear Kunisaki’s sigh from behind me

That’s when, with perfect ti

“Okaaay, now everyone, we’re ”

Everyone stood up at Hakonogi-sensei’s coymnasium where the “examination” was to be carried out

3

The “examination” had safely ended

This year’s enrollment had zero positives

Upon returning, homeroom teacher announced it to all the students

“Aa-aah, and here I thought I’ll be able to use superpower starting from today〜”

Hearing that Kunisaki let out an exaggerated lament, but it was clear to everyone it was just a joke

Before the long classes ended, the students were free of anxiety for the first ti and left the classroom one after another with radiant looks

The peaceful after school time

It was a scenery worth of being called that

“Yoo, Raika What are you doing? …heck, crosswords again?”

Kunisaki sighed seeing a collection of crossword puzzle problems

“It’s my hobby, is that bad?”

“I can help you with japanese ones, but that thing you have there is in foreign language”

“To be precise it’s in French”

“Bonjour is all I know from that one”

Bored, Kunisaki sat down on his seat

Watching our exchange fro next to me

“You are really proficient in languages aren’t you, Raika-san A”

“Only reading and writing Even teacher said that my pronunciation is ‘so-so’”

“By teacher, you i-sensei?”

Kunisaki asked from the side

“No, one from the facility I was in before…”

“Raika-san was in the same church facility I was in We also studied here”

“Hee, is that so”

“Yeah, well”

Sa down Maria’s and my necks

It was the proof that both of us have come from the same facility

“But Maria-chan is British, right?”

“…a lot happened ten years ago”

“Ah, I see”

When Maria answered a any more

To everyone what happened ten years ago was a topic we didn’t want to talk about too much

Kunisaki returned back to topic

“Still, well, Raika ht?”

“Yes!”

Maria’s expression changed froious one and answered clearly

“The teacher helped bring up Raika-san as excellent student he is, they must have been very proud of him”

“Don’t talk about any more of that, Maria”

While Maria praised me to the sky, I don’t re me

Well, what I learned froe but…

There, somehow the topic came to an end, thenKunisaki started to chat with Maria

Let’s go back to solving puzzles, I thought, that’s when

“Ra-i-ka”

“Hm?”

Called out to from behind, I turned around

There, I saw a single fe her hands behind her back

She was petite, but had very slender limbs

Her hair extending up to the shoulders had very little pigment and her smile was as adorable as a puppy

Her uniform was unbuttoned slovenly, and from there, her feminine lines peeked out

“Ruirui, are you done with your errands?”

“Yup Instant kill”

Ruirui nodded with a light smile

“Instant kill, you say Wasn’t the one who called you out a guy… weren’t you confessed to?”

“Yup That’s why, instant kill”

“Ahaha-ha”

Unable to even budge, Kunisaki bitterly laughed

“He was too noisy for uys in particular are a ‘no’”

Saying so, Ruirui looked between my hands

“Hey Raika, what are you doing?”

“Crossword puzzle”

“Hee, show meee”

In order to see better Ruirui moved her face so that she nearly touched my cheeks with her own

She deposited her weight on my shoulder

…it’s hard to move

“Ruirui-san!”

Maria raised her voice slightly

“Hm?What iiis it?”

“You’re sticking to close to Raika-san! Young et away from him at once!”

“Eeeh, it’s fine Mariacchi〜 I don’t mind iiit?”

“No – it’s – not!”

Maria pulled Ruirui strongly, separating her from me

“Listen, Ruirui-san You are japanese as well so you should aim aim to become yamatonadeshi+ko who knows moderation”

And so on

For soirl lectured Ruirui as purely japanese, about being yamatonadeshi+ko

It was strangely surreal

“So, hoere they?”

“What was?”

Kunisaki whispered into my ear from behind

“Ruirui-chan’s boobs, of course Hoere they? Soft?”

“…no clue”

“Whattt?! You want to reat Maria-chan’s alluring D’s, there’s no way she’s any inferior when it comes to elasticity and youuuuu!!”

He cried out as if his soul was leaking out

I cringed seeing that threatening attitude of his

“Kunisakiii〜”

Completely pissed off, Ruirui stood behind Kunisaki

“Ah, wai-ghbhohh!”

It was his own fault so I couldn’t even comment on it

“What are those ‘alluring D’s’ you speak of?”

Maria just tilted her head, puzzled

“Ah, speaking of which, where’s Tenka? Again in the staff room?”

“It’s just related to printouts and passing information, I think she should be back already…”

Just when I responded

rattle rattle rattle

With perfect ti, the classroom’s door opened

“Yahhoo, sorry to make you wait”

The one who enter was a girl even smaller than Ruirui

The moment she turned our way, her black twintails bounced up

Her appearance was childish, but she could speak seven languages and just five days after entering this school, she was left with duties of a class committee chairman’s

“A, you see, Ryuuto-sensei’s precious printouts disappeared soether and before I realized, it was this late”

“Oh my, must have been hard”

“I was all boiling inside already! You need to properly clean up on top of your desks, right”

Tenka laughed merrily

After that she took her own bag in her hand

“Now, let’s go play I want to eat crêpe’s today”

“Aren’t there some in the south ward?”

“Ah, I saw that crêperie before!”

“Then let’s have Kunisaki-san guide us there”

Following Tenka, everyone stood up one after another

Of course, I pickedand stood up as well

Ever since adether

It was a group of few japanese and japan-enthusiasts, but it was surprisingly cosy

That too, was thanks to the Tenka’s skill who put the group together I originally thought that I won’t be able to make friends on this island, and I’m puzzled over it even now

I didn’t think that a day would coain

I was puzzled, but my mood wasn’t too bad

However——

“——Nghh”

Pretending to fiddle with s, I held down my left eye

throb…throbb

My eye behind the eyelid ached

I could feel heat on my palm

“Hm? What happened, Raika-kun?”

Suddenly, Tenka turned around and asked

“It’s nothing, some dust entered my eye”

I lied

Tenka went “hmm”, nodded and returned to her conversation with Ruirui as beside her

…throb

Again

This happens sometimes

Not always but… when I look at Tenka, my left eye starts to ache sometime

Just like after seeing that dream

I don’t know the reason for that

Nothing I can think of

Ito this island

Of course, there’s nothing that would lead o

“……”

Aching subsided in less than twenty seconds

It was no big deal, but the thought did stay in the corner of my head

This ht be the reason I don’t meld in into this circle completely

In the meantime, I entered the elevator

Everyone changed their shoes and we headed to the Southern school gate, which was the outlet to South Ward

As the tingling in htly chatted with Kunisaki as alked

pam——

A single girl had come up from the other side

She had long, platinum-silver hair and white skin

Drooping eyes and well-ordered features

It was a girl who had fleeting beauty like that of a fairy

“Ohh,ain’t that Charlotte-senpai A sight for sore eyes”

Apparently Kunisaki knew her

When I looked closely, it seemed like people she passed by all turned noisy

Is she a celebrity in this school?

“Kunisaki, do you know that person?”

When I asked him without special intention behind it, Kunisaki bit into the topic with a girn

“Ohh! You interested, Raika? Unexpectedly ain’t you a ladies man too!”

“No, that’s not the case”

“No need to be eht, as a special treat I’ll tell you soot from seniors”

It’s been just five days since we enrolled, but it see up connections

Appalled by his energy, I was forced to listen to him

Her name was Charlotte Lovepain, seventeen years old

While her personality was mild, she was bad with opposite sex, had few friends and no romantic experience

Her hobby was reading She hardly comes out of the dormitory on holidays

Rather than being lonely, she was a girl who preferred being alone

Since she was in the library very often, she was called “Bookshelves’ Silver Fairy”

While there were boys who yearned for her in secret, whenever they tried talking to her she ie more than three words with any of them

“And, her three sizes from top are…”

“I don’t need that info”

The person herself is right here, what are you blurting out

“What’s with you, it was accurately measured by a pro’s eyes y’know?”

“It’s fine, shut up”

“Hbghh!”

I usedto block his mouth

Fortunately, it seeht in our direction

“……”

She was about to pass beside us

And right in front of us, she lost her balance

“Woah!”

He i her body

Her waist was thinner than I iined

Just now, did she trip without nothing in particular on the road…?

That’s what I felt but I didn’t say it as it would be rude if I rong

“Ah!! Eeeh!!”

Eirl blushed with surprise

It see, but was quite unable to do so

That’s when, I suddenly noticed a book fell on the ground

It fell out of her back when she stumbled earlier

I bent over and picked up the book

The title was “The Star Prince and The Princess”

Judging from the cover, it was a fantastical romance story

“There you go”

I returned the book I picked up to her

“T-thank you”

She received it

Her cheeks were awfully flushed, she was red like a tomato

“…are you all right?”

She looked too strange so I decided to ask her

“I-I’ht!”

Replying she shook her head to the sides

It was hard to tell whether she was affiruess she’s okay

Still, it seelances at me
