Part 2
I was standing on the rooftop, looking down at Midgar Academy dyed in the evening glow.
“I don’t mind. If that is what the world needs —— I will be hated by the world. That is my mission——”
I felt a thrill in my heart as I muttered an arrangement of Zeta’s line from last night.
“……This kind of development is also good.”
Shadow, the man who rebels against the world.
In order to protect the world, he shouldered the burden of the crime alone——that’s pretty cool.
“Zeta is not bad either. I didn’t expect her to boil the setting this far……”
Let’s give her the respect she deserves here and copy it.
No, wait. Come to think of it, I must have said something similar a long time ago.
“We are not walking in the path of justice, nor are we walking in the path of evil. We only follow our own path——”
I stood at the tip of the rooftop and struck a cool pose.
And let the uniform flutter in the wind.
“If you can, then bring the sins of the world to us. We will shoulder them all——”
It’s cool as expected.
It was definitely a line I said. It goes well with the sunset rooftop.
“In other words, chronologically, I was first. There is nothing wrong with copying it. Rather, she is the one who copying.”
So if I get a chance, I will definitely use it.
But this is also a good opportunity.
I’ve been neglecting my training around lines lately, so it’s good to go back to the basics for the first time in a while.
“——It’s an afterimage.”
“The shade——devour them all.”
“The wind is swaying——it’s the scream of the soul.”
I said that and struck one pose after another.
In my previous life, I used to do secret workouts like this on the rooftop. It brings back fond memories.
“Alone on the rooftop of the school building in the sunset…… I look down at the students leaving school and smile meaningfully…… I have a feeling something is going to happen……”
All the situations were perfect.
I raise my right hand and murmur in high spirits.
“——It’s coming.”
The next moment, the world shattered into pieces.
Then a white fog starts to gather.
“…… Eh?”
The white fog enveloped the school as if to separate it from the outside world.
The fog soon thickened, and eventually even the sunset could not reach.
“……”
I blinked several times and looked around.
“…… Eh, eeh?”
I had a feeling something was going to happen, but I didn’t think anything would really happen.
Confused voices can be heard from the schoolyard.
“W-What’s going on!”
“W-We have to inform the teachers!”
“Teacher has a staff meeting outside, no one is left!”
The students who were still in school were starting to gather.
“Fumu……. A mysterious white fog…… isolated school…… and me smiling on the rooftop…… It’s nice.”
I’m not sure of the details, but this is definitely a flag for the event to begin.
“The white fog…… will eventually envelop the world in silence.”
I mutter meaningfully and leave the rooftop.
When I went down the stairs to the hallway of the school building, it was dimly lit by a thick fog.
More than half of the students seem to have left school.
“What is this fog?”
I thought the head librarian had used some artifact, but the head librarian is gone.
I try to explore the fog with my magic power, but all I could tell was that it was some kind of mysterious fog.
“……Well, whatever”
In the end, it is more important to me how I enjoy myself in the fog than what this fog is.
Shall I join the other students for now? Or shall I suddenly appear as Shadow?
“What shall I do~”
I skipped lightly down the hallway. Then I heard a scream in the distance.
“Is it an event?”
I skipped fast and headed toward the screams.
