Prologue

Part 1

In the Star Productions office.

While Kanade Utamori, a very popular artist, was resting in her office room, Miu Midou, another very popular model, came in.

Huh? Kanade-san?

Oh, Miu-chan! Its been a while.

Although they were both in the same office, the singer and the model rarely had a chance to see each other.

Is your work going well?

Yes. I was recently asked to be on the cover of a new magazine and Im very grateful.

Thats great!

What about you, Kanade-san?

When Miu asked this, Kanade put on a happy expression.

Well, Im working on new songs and stuff, but I had an interesting job the other day.

An interesting job, you say?

Yes! Do you remember when I was invited to the school festival of the Ousei Academy?

Yes.

Somehow, I got another offer from Ousei Academy.

Is that so?

Miu was surprised by the unexpected words.

Then Kanade continued.

I was surprised too, but they asked me to prepare a song for them.

Could it be a request for a school song or a cheer for the school?ally you would think so, wouldnt you? But it wasnt!

Eh?

While Miu was surprised, Kanade grinned.

It was kind of a request for a song for school idols.

S-school idol?

Thats right! I didnt think that Ousei Academy would plan a school idol project, you know? And the President even asked me to accept this request.

The President is so involved Could it have something to do with Yuuya-san again?

Kanade also knew Yuuya because she had performed on stage with him at the school festival.

I thought so too at first, but the school idol seems to be a group of girls, you know?

I-is that so?

Yeah. I also wrote a cute and energetic song for them. I heard that the first stage was a big success.

Having said that, Kanade leaned back on the sofa.

But what in the world is Ousei Gakuen up to suddenly planning a school idol event? The President seemed to know something about it Miu-chan, do you know anything about it?

No, I just heard about it for the first time.

Hmph. The more I think about it, the more I realize how annoying that is.

Yes, thats right. The boundary between the Underworld and this world was restored by the Lord of the Underworld, Reimei-sama. But the boundary between dimensions is still gone. As a result Yuuya, you fought against your other self, didnt you?

Wha!?

Woof?

In response to Ouma-sans voice of surprise, Night and the others look at each other and tilt their heads, perhaps still not understanding.

T-The other him? That kind of thing

I was surprised too. I had no idea that he would be a greater user of spiritual power than this Yuuya, and that he would even use his spiritual power. But its more trouble than that.

What? I think its already a big problem to say that another lord has appeared, but theres even more trouble than that?

Yes. I dont know the details, but according to that other Yuuya, there are strange people going around conquering all kinds of worlds, right?

Yes, thats right.

Conquer the world? Hmph, thats ridiculous

I agree, but I dont know what theyre capable of. And from what the other Yuuya said, theyre not going to conquer the planet; theyre going to literally take over the world and its whole dimension. And their next target is this world.

Hmm. Why does the Lord always get noticed by such strange people?

I dont want it either

Even I dont like getting into all kinds of trouble

More importantly, what do you think we should do from now on?

Well it would be difficult for us to initiate an attack on a dimension-spanning being like them

I guess we have to train ourselves to be ready for the attack

Yes It is hard to say yet since the strength of the opponent is uncertain, but it is better to be stronger. The other Yuuya I saw with my sorcery was not a bad fighter. In fact, he was no worse than me when it came to mastering sorcery. But even the other Yuuya was just a pawn of these mysterious beings and I wonder how good they really are

The air was dark and gloomy, and I made another decision.

Kuuya-san. Please teach me more about sorcery. Because the other me asked me to.

The other me asked me to protect this world.

And while he was disappearing, he entrusted me with the sorcery power he possessed.

Although he came from a parallel world, we are the same being, so receiving an enormous amount of spiritual power from him did not seem to affect me in any particular way.

I was entrusted with his will and power.

Most importantly, I had no intention of letting them have their way in this world.

Kuuya-san nodded in response to my decision.

Of course. We dont even know when the opponent will come, but Ill give you a little bit of my sorcery, Yuuya.

Thank you very much!

And Ill try to work with me as well.

Eh?

I cant do anything on my own, but maybe Reimei-sama will know how to handle this situation.

I see

Surely, Reimei-sama, the Lord of the Underworld, might know who the mysterious attacker is.

If it were just me, it would be impossible to contact Reimei-sama, but since Kuuya-sans main body was in the underworld, he should be able to contact Reimei-sama somehow.

So we started preparing for the mysterious attacker.
