Part 2

It had been a week since the open campus.

On my day off, I went to practice sorcery in preparation for the attackers.

Suddenly, a mysterious black vortex appeared in front of me.

W-what is that?

No way, the attackers are already here!

I hurriedly took out my Absolute Spear and prepared it, and then Kuuya-san came over to me.

Wait. That portal belongs to Ikkaku-sama, just like last time.

Eh?

I said I would use my body to contact Reimei-sama, didnt I? Thats why Reimei-sama moved so fast.

I-I see.

As soon as I lowered my weapon, Ikkaku-san emerged from the vortex.

Its been a while, Yuuya-sama.

I-its been a while

As usual, Ikkaku-san exuded an aura of serenity, and I felt terrible.

Then everyone gathered, including Night and the others from inside the house.

Woof!

I thought I felt a strange presence again

H-hey, Yuuya-sama! Could it be that one

Oh this is Ikkaku-san. I told you earlier about Meiko, the one from the underworld.

When I introduced them, Ikkaku-san bowed his head reverently.

Lexia-san and the others also bowed their heads and immediately noticed something.

W-wait a minute! Why is someone from the underworld here? Could it be related to Meiko?

N-no, its not about that

I hadnt told Lexia-san and the others about the parallel universe yet, so I didnt know how to explain it to them.

If possible, I didnt want to make everyone uncomfortable, and I wanted to keep quiet

Then Ikkaku-san, perhaps sensing my feelings, offered a helping hand.

Actually, now that the situation in the underworld has calmed down, my Lord Reimei-sama wants to thank Yuuya-sama again, so this time, I have come to pick him up. Yuuya-sama, can you spare some time?

Y-yes, Im fine!

Um, cant we go with you?

When Lexia-san said this quickly, Ikkaku-san shook his head apologetically.

Im sorry, but the underworld is the land of the dead. It is a place where only the dead or those with spiritual power can go

I see

Spiritual power was Yuuyas newfound power, wasnt it? Its outrageous to hear again that it also allows you to go to the underworld.

So, Yuuya-sama. We will go there as soon as possible. Is that okay?

U-um!

The moment I was about to nod at Ikkaku-sans words, Meiko raised her voice.

C-can you take me with you?

You are

Ikkaku-sans eyes widened slightly, but he quickly smiled and nodded.

If it is you, it should be fine. Im sure Reimei-sama will be rather pleased to see you.

Thank you very much!

So it was decided that I would go to the underworld with Ikkaku-san but if the attackers came while I was away from this world, it would be a problem.

Thats why

Ouma san. Please take care of everyone.

Hmph. I have no choice

And Night, too, please.

Woof!

Buhi! Buhi!

Pi! Piii!

Hahaha. Of course, Im counting on you two.

After being amused by Akatsuki and Ciel raising their voices to compete with Night, Me and Meiko went to the underworld for the first time in a long time.

Around the time Yuuya left for the underworld.

At the Nittei Academy, Kamiyama was given a certain document by Shirai.

Here is the information on the student candidates.

Thank you for your hard work.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

The document given to Kamiyama contained detailed information about the students of the Nittei Academy, along with their portraits.

This is good. With this, I think we can form a school idol group at our academy.

Yes, Kamiyama was thinking of forming a school idol program at Nittei Academy as well to compete with the school idol program being promoted at Ousei Academy.

In order to select the members for this project, she asked her butler, Shirai, to gather information about the students.

The scale is too large for me to fully understand, but I have a vague idea.

The world we live in is surrounded by something like a bubble.

And the space in which the world exists like a myriad of soap bubbles is the Between Worlds.

..

I was struck by the sheer magnitude of it all.

In other words, could it be that the soap bubbles in our world and the other soap bubbles in another world are parallel worlds?

Reimei-sama had an apologetic look on her face as I was confused.

I would like to give you a more detailed explanation, but we dont have much time. Lets just assume that you understand Between Worlds and proceed.

Y-yes.

In Between Worlds, there are those who cannot exist in their respective worlds or who have been rejected by their respective worlds.

Rejected? What do you mean by rejected?

Simply put, the scale of their existence is too great for the world to bear. Earlier, we compared the world to a soap bubble. If a person with a large scale of existence enters the bubble, the bubble will burst, and the world will be destroyed. That is why the world bursts those who are too big in order to defend itself.

The destination of the bubbles is Between Worlds, and there are other worlds floating around it, arent there? Wont those worlds be attacked?

Well Ive never set foot in that Between Worlds, so I dont know the details.

Reimei-sama reigns as the Lord of this underworld, and I doubt she can afford to go to the Between Worlds.

But the fact that you were attacked indicates that the people in the Between Worlds have the power to interfere with the inside of the world that is floating around in there. Conversely, if they could easily destroy the world from the outside, they would have done so from the beginning. Maybe they are using this momentary interference to undermine the inner world so that they can interfere from the outside.

I see but if the enemy is in such a place, what should we do?

If the enemy is in an incomprehensible place like Between Worlds, there is nothing I can do.

Reimei-sama predicted that the enemy could only interfere for a moment, but even with that, they could do a lot of things, which is why the me from the parallel world lost, and that world was taken away from him.

But I cant just sit back and wait for them to come back.

Then Reimei-sama opened her mouth with a grim expression on her face.

There is a way to get to the Between Worlds.

Eh?

I was surprised by these unexpected words, and Reimei-sama continued.

With my power, I can send you to the Between Worlds.

Well then!

But then! I dont know if youll be able to come back.

Eh

Reimei-samas words made me hold my breath.

W-what does that mean?

As I said, I can send you to the Between Worlds, but you will need my power to return from the other side. But as you know, I am the Master of the underworld, so I cannot move from this place.

..

Besides, I do not know what kind of place Between Worlds is. I dont know what kind of power those people, whose existence is so great that the whole world has rejected them could use.

There is no way to return home, and their power is unknown.

Normally, one would not take on such an opponent recklessly.

But in my minds eye, I saw the image of the other me fading away.

Dont worry youre stronger than me so protect everyone

Thats what the other me had entrusted to me.

Thats why.

Reimei-sama. I am asking you, please. Please send me to Between Worlds.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I nodded strongly, and suddenly a warm feeling spread over my right hand.

I looked at the touch and saw that Meiko was holding my hand.

Ive never heard of parallel worlds or Between Worlds before but Im going there with you.

Eh, b-but

I was saved by Master. Besides now I am one with Master.

Meiko

I dont want you to forget, but Im here too, you know?

Then Kuro, who had been quiet lately, unexpectedly called out to me.

Yes Kuro is with me.

Im not alone, and just knowing that Im not alone makes my heart lighten.

Reimei-sama, who watched our exchange, let out a sigh.

You seem to have made up your mind. The boundary line between the dimensions that existed in Between Worlds has probably disappeared this time But is there anyone who can repair it?

While Reimei-sama made a somewhat offensive remark, she clapped her hands vigorously.

At that moment, waves of mystical and spiritual power spread out from both of her hands at once.

Ill say it again! If I send you over there, I dont know if youll ever be able to return to the present world!

Please!

Ive been saved by many people in my life.

Therefore, when the world is in danger I want to fight to protect everyone.

Hearing my words, Reimei-sama nodded and put her hands, which were filled with tremendous power, on the ground.

At that moment, the waves of mystical and spiritual power intertwined and enveloped the bodies of myself and Meikoand we were sent to the Between Worlds.
