The only male protagonist in variety comics

"Don't worry, I don't want to eat it either."

Eating is the same as sleeping. Skipping one or two meals and skipping one or two sleeps is not a problem at all for Rito Yuki.

"……for you."

It's impossible to share a bento. Yukinoshita Yukino can't do that. However, this is the place where she usually stays, so she will naturally prepare some snacks. She stood up and groped around the desk in the corner of the classroom. Suddenly, Yukinoshita Yukino took out a bag of bread and threw it to Yuuki Rito.

This was the best she could do.

"Thank you Miss Yukinoshita for the reward."

Yuki Rito's words made Yukinoshita Yukino purse her lips. Although she knew that Yuuki Rito was deliberately being funny, she couldn't help but become a little unnatural.

It was the joy of being thanked and the shyness of being complimented. Or something else?

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head and ate the bento as if nothing had happened. The portion of the bento was too big, and it had already exceeded Yukinoshita Yukino's appetite, but it was wrong to waste food. Yukinoshita Yukino started She didn't give the bento to Rito Yuki, so naturally she wouldn't give him her leftovers. She secretly complained about her sister Haruno who got up early to prepare a bento for herself, and Yukinoshita Yukino felt warm in her heart..

The calm atmosphere was broken not long after.

Bang.

There was a popping sound in the air. Yuki Rito, who was sitting slowly on his seat and chewing bread, reacted and raised his head when Yukinoshita Yukino heard the sound. Within half a second, he appeared at the window. This sudden burst of speed was not noticed by Yukinoshita Yukino because it happened outside the field of vision. Even the air did not become windy due to Yuuki Rito's movements.

The explosion just now must have spanned a long distance. When it reached here, the sound was no longer loud. Seeing Rito Yuuki staring out the window, Yukinoshita Yukino felt that he was making a fuss.

"It must be thundering and raining in the surrounding areas"

"……"

Yuuki Rito did not respond to Yukinoshita Yukino's guess. He frowned. The explosion just now was definitely not thunder. Yuuki Rito, who has the power of [thunder], can be sure of this. At the same time, Unlike a technological product, Yuki Rito, who has [Fire Eyes], can see from a distance a place in Chiba City that exudes a strange aura.

It was like youkai, there were monsters there, not Yakumo Murasaki, the monsters full of negative emotions.

After eating the bread given to him by Yukinoshita Yukino in a few mouthfuls, Yuki Rito clapped his hands.

"I have something to do, so I left school in the afternoon."

Why do you have to tell yourself about leaving school?

Yukinoshita Yukino swallowed the last food in her mouth, wiped her mouth, and said calmly while packing the lunch box

"I see."

Is it because of the explosion just now?

Seeing Yuuki Rito leave without stopping, Yukinoshita Yukino tilted her head and thought for a while, and then stood by the window like Yuki Rito did just now.

View It's very open. This classroom is on a high floor and can see far away, but that's about it. Whether it's a street with lots of pedestrians or vehicles, or a quiet and peaceful public garden, it's the same as usual.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who couldn't find anything, sat back in her seat and no longer paid attention to Yuuki Rito's affairs. She opened a book.

Love Metronome, written by a light novelist named Kasumi Shiko. Romance novels, now that Sword Art Online is the dominant one, there are also a lot more passionate fantasy novels. In contrast, other types of novels seem to be very niche. Yukinoshita Yukino feels that she can find a book that she likes. She is very lucky to be a light novelist.

Although she has also read Sword Art Online and does not deny its excellence, it is not the genre she is interested in after all. Love Metronome is more suitable for her.

…………

Megumi Kato is currently studying in Class B of the second year of the private Toyosaki Academy. She considers herself to be an ordinary girl, so ordinary that she is ignored by others, because many times when she greets other students in the class, they seem to A little hesitant.

The reason for the hesitation, Kato Megumi, probably guessed that it was difficult for the other party to find her existence in the memory. Although she also knew that this was related to her lack of presence and lack of any outstanding performance in daily life, but she saw that some people had been there since the first grade of high school. Kato Megumi was troubled by the fact that his classmates had to think for a while before calling out their own names.

He has a weak sense of presence, his name and grades are average, he has never joined a club, and he has never been a class committee member. He doesn’t have many friends but he doesn’t have the courage to make more friends. He is the type who is easily ignored at once.

Megumi Kato knew exactly what kind of image he had, but made no attempt to change it.

I originally thought that life would go on like this, finishing high school with a weak sense of existence, getting admitted to an ordinary university, or failing to get into university and starting practicing as a housewife, and then marrying an equally ordinary person.

But with a crisp, even harsh explosion, Kato Megumi felt that her ordinary routine might be broken.

A black aura appeared in the playground below the teaching building. It was like substance, to the point that it could block the sight. Something seemed to be brewing in the center and source of the black aura. However, the students except himself did not react.

Except for looking around slightly in panic and curiosity because of the previous abnormal noise, people on the playground were still scattered and engaged in physical activities, even though the black aura was becoming more and more obvious, and the deep mist was about to cover the entire playground. shrouded.

The unknown is danger, not to mention that this is a situation that breaks common sense. However, faced with such a terrifying situation, the students did not run away, not even scream.

Megumi Kato rubbed her eyes to make sure that what she saw was not an illusion. Sitting on the side of the classroom near the window, she carefully stretched out her hand and waved it in the air. She saw the very faint black breath that escaped here. As her movements changed, Kato Megumi was finally sure that what she saw was real.

While Kato Megumi was still wondering why others didn't move, something brewing in the black energy took shape.

The black energy that had been scattered began to gather, converging into one place as if it had been absorbed, and then, something flew out.

Kato Megumi couldn't see its specific appearance clearly, it seemed because of the obstruction of the black energy entwining it, as if it itself was blurry.

Yes, it was an ugly red head flying in the sky with two sharp horns. It was definitely not a human being or a known animal. It flew outside the classroom floor where Megumi Kato was, staring at Look at Megumi Kato.
