The doomsday known as the rule of the cursed spirit is coming.

When most human beings are running around in panic, or evading hibernation in order to counterattack in the future, Tanizaki Junichiro calmly followed Miss Witch and listened to her introduction of everything in this world.

——Oh, this introduction should be changed to the past tense now.

Occasionally seeing pedestrians calling for help, Junichiro Tanizaki can also look away indifferently.

The appearance of the doomsday is similar in every world.

Tanizaki Junichiro, who has already experienced the doomsday once, will naturally not be surprised or even frightened by the doomsday that turns natural disasters into man-made disasters.

He is used to it.

Even the despair on people's faces was the same as the ten-year-old he remembered, nothing new.

Want to criticize him for being indifferent?

But he wasn't like that.

Since Naomi died because of her kindness, Tanizaki Junichiro has learned to abandon the kindness that should not be preserved in the last days, to watch the noise of the weak with a cold eye, and even to calm them down with his own hands.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" The female voice next to the ear brought back Junichiro Tanizaki who couldn't help recalling the past because of the familiar scenery, "The expression is scary."

The witch who said so had no fear on her face, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Just thinking about my side."

Tanizaki Junichiro did not lie to his new sister.

There is no need for that.

She is willing to let his weakness go, acquiescing to him as a new witch, and while accepting her sister status, she is also willing to accept everything about him.

Tanizaki Junichiro admitted that when he saw the witch for the first time, he subconsciously regarded her as Naomi from another world.

The illusionist who is unwilling to admit the reality, when he sees a witch who looks similar to his sister being kidnapped, recalls his past mistakes and weaknesses uncontrollably.

So he rushed over desperately, as if trying to redeem his mistake, and rescued her.

When he calmed down, he was very clear about his mistake, and he also remembered his real sister, who would never come back.

The blurted out "sister sauce" made Tanizaki Junichiro feel instantly embarrassed.

Just because he understands that this kind of thing of using someone else as a substitute for his younger sister is a silent insult to Naomi and the other her.

But the witch, who could see his remorse, took the first step and asked him——

"Is this what you expected, brother?"

—Is it okay for him to treat her as a substitute for his sister?

This was what she meant, but not a single word was meant to defend herself.

that……

"What should I call you? Sister-chan."

He asked her name.

Because he doesn't want to make the same mistake again, and doesn't want to see anyone as a replacement for Naomi.

But just as the witch is willing to accept him who is stepping on the edge of the cliff and will fall into the abyss just one step away, Junichiro Tanizaki is also willing to recognize this sister by mistake.

He wants to know her rightly.

He will never forget that Naomi's death was his fault, but he will no longer use the witch as a substitute for his sister.

When returning to the apartment with the witch, Junichiro Tanizaki inevitably meets her clan members.

The special time period makes it rare for these lone rangers who usually gather less and leave more to gather together.

Almost as expected, Junichiro Tanizaki received their scrutiny after the witch introduced himself—as if he was questioning his feelings for the witch, what is it?

He exchanged a glance with the witch, and spoke bluntly with her acquiescence.

Tanizaki Junichiro dared to admit that his love for the witch was a pity that he failed to save Naomi. It was he who transferred his feelings for his own sister to the witch in another world.

But he was serious about it.

Now that he has confirmed such a result, he will not make the same mistake again and be shaken by outsiders.

Five months passed like this.

The mantra controlled the most prosperous area in Japan and called it the new capital.

More than four months ago, the barrier that only limited and surrounded the Japanese island was cast due to human fear, and now it has reached an indestructible level.

This enchantment isolates the people who want to escape from the island, and also isolates foreign forces that perceive Japan's anomalies and try to detect or help them.

"Only Japan has the 'curse spirit'?"

Although he was explained some related vocabulary, Tanizaki Junichiro has been in contact with things related to spells for less than half a year.

In view of the fact that Miss Witch has gradually become the leader secretly believed by the human side in Japan, Junichiro Tanizaki inevitably took the initiative to explore these things he did not understand before.

"No." The witch heard his question and answered patiently, "There are curse spirits all over the country, but Japan has the enchantment of Tianyuan. While the magician can drive away negative emotions, it will not give birth to curse spirits." , It also makes it easier for ordinary people in the enchantment to cause the appearance of curse spirits out of fear and malice."

"Now that the curse spirits have regained the strength they should have, so should the curse spirits all over the world."

It's just that the place of appearance will not be as dense as in Japan, and the magic spirits with super strength and above will not appear in groups like Japan.

"I see." Brother Tanizaki, who was thinking about his sister, heaved a sigh of relief, "Then they won't have time to intervene in this matter for a while."

Because the government couldn't bear the pressure, they had no choice but to accept someone's suggestion and come to the witch for help. The witch, as expected by the people around her, made the living people secretly believe in her in their hearts.

Now is the most special time.

The tranquility of the doomsday erodes the defenses of others little by little, and sooner or later, it will burn the grassland like wildfire, making her the real ruler in the hearts of the Japanese people, or a "god".

This process cannot be interrupted by other countries.

The enchantment of the curse spirits, the revived curse spirits all over the country... To put it bluntly, he would not have recognized it. He didn't care about the lives and deaths of others or the future of mankind, and was only grateful for the current situation.

"Miss Rin~"

The solitude of the two was interrupted by someone running in from outside the door.

The person who ran into the room with the cardboard box was a Hei Ranbu who looked like a teenager, but in fact had become a god of death for who knows how long he had lived.

After the world merged and secretly used his own method to accelerate the rule of the new capital, Hei Ranpo took Yiku from Aizen, let go of himself in this world, and acted in the body of Yiku.

Different from his original appearance, those gem-like emerald green eyes were deliberately made into the amber color of the ghost of death.

The emerald green is mixed with the same gilt as the witch, and it looks as magnificent as amber from a distance.

This vague sense of synchronization can keep Hei Luanbu happy.

"Ranpo-kun." Tanizaki Junichiro nodded towards the visitor.

Although when he met him for the first time, it was Kuro Ranpo who pointed out his psychology when he saw a witch for the first time, but Tanizaki did not create a barrier because of this.

Rather, because Kuroranpo belongs to the clan of witches, Tanizaki faced his difficulties with a lot of patience, and sincerely recognized Kuroranpo's wisdom, "...is this box?"

Hei Luanbu glanced at him, compared the threat level between him and someone, and answered with barely approval, "It's a 'meeting gift' from a self-proclaimed kind Russian."

Having said that, both Hei Luanbu and Miss Witch knew that the person who sent the gift had no good intentions.

Fyodor, one of the members of the Five Decays and the leader of the House of the Dead.

Because the name is too long, let's shorten it to "Fei Jia".

Fedya is a martyr who intends to create a "world without supernatural powers".

When the Witch used the book to improve the rules of the world and let everyone have the right to awaken the ability fairly, he had made some small moves, but in the end it was nothing.

Simply put, he is not a good guy who can be trusted.

Tanizaki Junichiro has no impression of the person Kuro Ranpo said.

This is also a matter of course, in his world, there is far no chance to know people from these forces.

Whether it is Armed Detective Agency, Port Mafia, or even various foreign organizations, he has never heard of it in that world—on the contrary, Dazai Osamu and Tanizaki Junichiro, who recently became the Witch Clan, have heard of it a little.

To be precise, he is familiar with his abilities.

Because in his world, Shuji Tsushima, who possesses the ability "disqualification in the world", is the leader of an autonomous organization.

The reason why he, who didn't join the organization and stayed outside the crowd, had heard of it was because the leader died so suddenly.

When the organization was thriving, he committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

Everyone was talking about it, but it was confirmed that he died without any conspiracy.

In the end, his cause of death was arbitrarily labeled "despair in this doomsday world" by others and never mentioned again.

No one could understand what he was doing.

Just as no one can understand a person who is carrying a treasure and is willing to leave the treasure and kill himself.

"...Do you want to open it?" Junichiro Tanizaki, who didn't know the identity of the gift giver, asked, seeing that the witch and Kuro Ranpo had no further plans.

"I mean, if there's no danger."

Hei Luanbu looked at the witch, and saw her nodding slightly without any surprise.

"Of course there is no danger."

"Relax," she said, "just take a vacation for yourself."

"Sister Lin just decides." Hei Ranpo also voted in favor, "Bringing Tanizaki is better than bringing Dazai."

Junichiro Tanizaki didn't know much about what they were saying, but he didn't feel excluded by them.

He even heard Kuro Ranpo admit that in his heart, he was more recognized by him than Dazai, Tanizaki still felt a strange sense of relief.

"So what exactly is this gift box?"

"It's a passage to another world." Miss Witch took the box from Hei Ranpo's hand and explained to Tanizaki, "I feel the power of the pages and part of the divine power."

Miss Witch didn't say anything, but at the moment when the gift box appeared in her field of vision, the unknown book suddenly shouted angrily in her consciousness, wanting her to activate this power earlier.

——It's not anger, it's the anger of being underestimated and the comparison feeling like anger.

One's own family, of course, should be pampered properly.

Feel free to write down her whereabouts, and the witch pressed the note under the poetry collection she read most often.

Then she asked the two of them to put on the "clan-specific" jewelry communicator, and reached out to open the gift box.

The distorted space-time is a scene familiar to all three of them.

After a few seconds of silence, the three came to a new, still peaceful world.

When Junichiro Tanizaki stepped on the ground again, his excellent combat instincts made him jump off the spot, and while dodging, he pulled out the gun that was engraved with magic and was guided by Miss Witch.

The moment he stood still again, the young man raised his eyes and saw two strange people.

One is a blond young man dressed casually with a beret and a slightly frivolous demeanor, and the other is a tall man who exudes an apocalyptic atmosphere that makes young people feel familiar.

Tanizaki's vigilance was instantly full.

While thinking about why his sister didn't fall with him, or whether the three of them had separated, he also thought about how to solve the troubles in front of him, connect to the communication and meet his sister and the others earlier.

"Hey~ The Detective Agency thinks it's more timely than expected."

"But if you come to save people by yourself, don't you think too highly of yourself?"

The blond young man whistled when he saw Tanizaki, even though he noticed the gun in his hand, he continued without nervousness, "I didn't expect the user of 'Xi Xue' to use a thermal weapon?"

Tanizaki Junichiro was puzzled by what he said, but he sensed the opponent's hostile attitude.

--enemy.

That's a sure thing.

That being the case, just resolve it.

Fragmented, code-like green light appeared around Tanizaki's body, and gradually spread to the entire field.

Although he wasn't sure about the tall man in black, but if it was the blond young man next to him, Tanizaki was still confident that he could kill him and get out of the way.

Load the gun, then manipulate the illusion.

Next...

"...My lord brother?"

The familiar female voice interrupted the hunter's hunt, but Mi Xue's phantom had already taken shape, enough to allow the manipulator's occasional distraction.

Tanizaki Junichiro turned around because of the voice, and looked at the speaker.

——The one standing there seemed to be his own sister who hadn't awakened the ability in his memory.

The author has something to say:

As mentioned before, Brother Tanizaki landed next to Naomi who was attacked by the group, while Miss Witch and Kuro Ranpo landed at the former site of the detective agency, facing the president and others who were hiding underground in order to avoid the group.

[digression]

In order to avoid conflicts and keep a record, the author Sang put the character design of the next novel Four Worlds and the fragments he thought of writing into the "Short Stories Collection" under the column [Girl Prayer].
