"Splash."

"Splash …"

The sound of the waves rang in her ears. Chiaki Chihara squinted her eyes slightly.

What she saw was the grayish-blue sky.

,

As well as the bright moon hanging in the sky.

"… the moonlight is so beautiful …"

.....

"Something's not right?!!!"

"She was sleeping outside!!!"

Chiaki Chihara quickly realized that something was wrong.

She moved her arm.

Soon, she felt the soft and fine sand under her body.

Chiaki Chihara sat up abruptly. The sound of the waves in her ears was obviously not an illusion.

When she subconsciously looked to the side,

She quickly noticed the rising and falling waves beside her.

"Hiss —"

When she sat up,

She clearly felt the pain in her body. It was like being electrocuted.

It was a little numb.

Chiaki Chihara guessed that she had squashed her leg when she was sleeping.

But … where was this?

She remembered that she seemed to be playing games with everyone in the social room last night. She couldn't remember where they ended up, but looking at the situation,

She seemed to have been thrown outside?

She looked at her palm … Saiki's hair clip was still in her hand. So, it shouldn't be a dream.

So, who threw her out?!

Could it be that Tsurimaru Kunishige was causing trouble again?

The sky and the sea in front of her formed a line.

The dark blue sea was like an inky mirror.

It reflected the darkness of the sky.

The salty sea breeze blew in Chiaki Chihara's direction. A few strands of hair on her forehead were blown behind her ears.

"It seems … a little troublesome …"

Looking at the vast and boundless sea,

Chiaki Chihara muttered to herself.

Of course, she remembered what the coastline of Okinawa looked like.

Other than the sea, there were many ships and ports on the island.

There were also different buildings behind her.

But there was only the endless sea in front of her.

There were no ports or ships in sight.

There were also lush tropical trees all around. There were no signs of human life.

Chiaki Chihara was silent for a long time. The first thing that came to her mind was the space-time distortion.

As a Divine Inquisitor, Chiaki Chihara was very clear about such things.

In the past, when she went out with her family's Saber, Sword, and Death Gods, she often encountered such things.

But this was the modern world. Could it be that space-time rifts would appear in the modern world?

Chiaki Chihara took two steps and soon felt discomfort on her feet. She lifted her feet and realized that she was not wearing shoes.

"This is bad … it's not good if I step on something. something."

After Chiaki Kihara confirmed that there was no danger around, she decided to leave. She wanted to explore the area.

It looked like an uninhabited island. Chiaki Kihara searched for a long time, but he couldn't find anything.

"If there are no animals, then there's no food …"

Chiaki Chihara muttered to herself. She found a cave by the sea. After looking around the cave, Chiaki Chihara released her spiritual energy into the wooden stick. Soon, a small flame appeared. The darkness in the cave was gradually illuminated.

The air in the cave was humid. It was uncomfortable to smell it. It was as if her lungs were filled with water vapor.

The weather here was slightly different from the weather on Okinawa. The weather on Okinawa was about to enter autumn, but the weather here was more like a hot summer night.

The hot and humid weather was not pleasant, especially at night … Chiaki Chihara felt that her body was wet. She even wanted to jump into the sea to wash off.

Just as she was walking in the cave, she heard light footsteps. Almost at the same time, she pointed the torch in front of her and slowly backed away.

"Who's there!

Come out if there's someone!

I'm Chiaki Chihara! "

If it was a human, it would be fine. But if it was an army that could reverse time … In this case, she might as well die.

The person on the other side seemed to have stopped. In the gap, Chiaki Chihara heard light breathing. Only then did she feel relieved.

"Come out, I don't mean any harm … Erm, who are you?

Why are you here? "

The person on the other side was silent for a while. Then, she slowly walked out.

When Chiaki Kihara saw the other party, his breathing became sluggish, and his head began to hurt.

"You don't look like you want to see me."

Akashi Seishiro also looked at her silently. At this time, the situation of the two people was not very good. Their bodies were dirty, and their clothes were soaked with water. They looked very embarrassed.

"It's not that I don't want to see you … It's just that we have another victim. It's dangerous." Chiaki Chihara scratched her messy hair and said worriedly.

"Is there anyone else besides us?"

"No, I just followed the path and found this place."

Chiaki Chihara said, "I haven't gone to the other places. I don't know where the other students are …"

Both of them fell silent. Chiaki Chihara passed the burning stick to her and smiled reluctantly.

"It must be uncomfortable to be wet. You might feel better with this … Is your hand hurt?"

When he handed the torch to Chiaki, Chiaki Shibarahara noticed the abrasions on Chiaki's body. Although the wounds weren't very big, they could easily be infected in such a situation.

"My hand must have been scratched by accident. I tried to start a fire with the wood, but it failed because it was too wet." Akaji said.

"Let's find a fresh water source as soon as possible."

Akashiji Seijuro said calmly, "It might be better at night, but it's not good when the sun comes out during the day.

After all, we're in the southern subtropics. The heat in the day is much higher than at night. "

"Do you know where we are?" Chiaki Chihara asked in surprise.

"I don't know."

Akaji shook his head. "But there are many subtropics ferns growing here. There are even some wild sunflowers in the ventilation area of the cave. So I guess this isn't Okinawa Island."

"Is that so?" Chiaki Chihara nodded, looking even more depressed.

"You seem to know something?" Akaji raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Something like that.

I guess it's because of the appearance of the Space-Time Rift. But if there's a Space-Time Rift, there should be a Time Reversal Army at the same time. "Chiaki Chihara said to her fingers.

"But I haven't seen the Time Reversal Army. But it's better if they don't appear."

"If that's the case, is there any possibility of us going back?" Akaji asked with a frown.

"… Why don't we go to the beach and draw a Mickey Mouse?" Chiaki Chihara asked tentatively.

"… Now's not the time for jokes." Akaji said helplessly.

"There really is a way." Chiaki Chihara's attitude seemed to have improved.

"If it's really because of the Space-Time Rift, then the Government of the Hour will definitely send Divine Inquisitors to investigate the situation. Naturally, this place will be investigated as well. So we'll definitely be discovered … But with the Government of the Hour's efficiency, it'll probably take a few days …"

"Hope is better than nothing." Akaji seemed to be relieved. He turned around with the torch in his hand.

"There's fresh water in the cave. We'll go in later.

It's quite dry over there. It shouldn't be a problem to start a fire. "

"As long as there's fresh water." Chiaki Chihara nodded and quickly followed.

She didn't bring her Guard with her, so she couldn't summon the Divine Inquisitors for This Pill.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry.

However, she still had the ability to survive in the wild. In the few times when the Divine Inquisitors were out on missions, Chiaki Chihara and some of the Divine Inquisitors stayed in extremely bad conditions. They didn't even dare to sleep at night. As time passed, her survival index slowly increased.

Although she didn't bring any weapons, in this place where there were no reinforcements, no creatures would pose a threat to her. So she wasn't worried at all.

The only one who was slightly worried was Akaji Jun. In this environment, without the protection of spiritual energy, it was easy to fall sick. No matter how strong Akaji Jun's body was, he wouldn't be able to withstand such hot weather.

"We're here."

After walking for a while, Akashiji Seijuro finally stopped. Chiaki Chihara followed suit.

On the other side of the cave … was a small spring. It was flowing.

This way, their survival index would definitely continue to rise!

Chiaki Chihara quickly noticed a pile of twigs. She guessed that Akaji had placed them there because he failed to light the fire. She hovered above the twigs. As she gathered her spiritual energy on her fingertips, the twigs were quickly lit and emitted a warm glow.

"What a surprisingly useful ability." Akaji was a little surprised. However, this was probably the first time he saw Chiaki Chihara use her spiritual energy.

"Akaji Jun, come over here and warm yourself up. Otherwise, you'll fall sick easily." Chiaki Chihara said sternly.

"I'll go look for something to eat later. Akaji Jun, you should rest for a while. You must have used up a lot of energy just now, right?"

"Setsubara, you should rest too. This kind of thing should be left to the girls …"

"I'm an Inquisitor!

My body is very strong. "Chiaki Chihara said while holding the back of her head.

"Even if I don't sleep for a few days, I can still maintain my energy. Although I'll still be very tired."

"It's still dark now. I'm not sure what kind of disaster we'll encounter." Akaji held her hand. It seemed like there was no room for negotiation.

"That's why we should wait until it's daytime. Two people are always more reliable than one."

"… I understand."

Chiaki Chihara pondered for a while. Perhaps she felt that Akaji's words made sense, so she gave up on the idea of going out.

As the conversation between the two ended, Chiaki Chihara and Akaji sat beside the fire silently. The light from the fire shone on their faces. For a moment, the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
