As the corridors of the school building became more and more crowded, it was Friday in the blink of an eye.

"Are there so many people at this time?" Ichimoku Aoi held her hand on the elevated corridor and looked down.

It was already night, and Kamikawa High School was originally located on a relatively high ground. Standing on the fifth floor, you could overlook the night view of Shinjuku area.

Orange lights formed a long line, and vehicles formed a river of light, flowing slowly in the night, like the blood of this city.

Tonight, Kamikawa High School is also brightly lit, and most classrooms are still lit.

Looking from here, there are figures walking around the windows.

On the second floor of the club building near the elevated corridor, the Debate Department was having a heated argument, as if a fight was about to begin;

On the third floor of the teaching building in the distance, on the podium of the first grade class, two people were having a serious conversation. They didn't know they were talking, but they were also rehearsing cross talk.

"It's an incredible feeling." Ichimokui murmured to himself.

Watanabe Toru understood what she meant.

At night, looking at the windows with light leaking out in front of me, and the scenes in the windows, I feel a strange feeling in my heart.

"Ichiki-san!" Koizumi Aona's voice came from the end of the corridor.

"Here we come!" Ichimukui ran over, and the night breeze brought by him temporarily drove away the sultry heat.

After Ichimoku Aoi also changed her clothes, it was finally Watanabe Toru's turn.

The six of them did not wear special pajamas, they all wore a combination of T-shirts and knee-length pants.

The only exception was Ichimoku Aoi, who wore the school's loose sportswear.

"Why do you change clothes, I have to go out, and you can stay inside while I change clothes." Watanabe Toru's voice came from the curtain in the corner.

"Don't waste time there." Qingye Rin said ruthlessly.

"Take it off now."

The five people became quiet for a while, and they could hear the sound of Toru Watanabe taking off his clothes one by one.

Koizumi Aina looked at the other four people, but she seemed to be the only one who was particularly concerned.

‘Is everyone used to Watanabe taking off his clothes? Am I falling behind?’ she thought to herself.

When Toru Watanabe opened the curtain, Rin Kiyono immediately said: "Let's get started."

"Good morning, girl!" He said the lines in the tone of a chuunibyou demon as he walked towards the beech wood table.

"Good morning, Mr. Devil~" Kujo Miki looked at him with a smile.

"This is not a place for you two to flirt before going to bed." Director Qingye warned coldly.

Line by line;

The air conditioner is too cold, take the time to put on a coat;

If you are thirsty, drink the freshly squeezed juice from Kujo Miki's refrigerator; if you are hungry, there are rice balls bought from the convenience store, and there are various desserts in the refrigerator;

I practiced for a while at the beech table, and late at night when there was no one around, I ran to the elevated corridor to actually perform.

Because there were mosquitoes, I lit a rechargeable mosquito killer lamp.

"When I was young, I pursued the end of the world just like you. I found the devil and asked him for answers."

"demon?"

"As long as you pay the price, both demons and gods don't care."

"Did he tell you the answer?"

"Of course." Toru Watanabe walked up and said hello to Koizumi Aina: "Long time no see, Miss Witch."

"I haven't seen you for three hundred years." Koizumi Ainai recalled with a faint tone.

"Because you haven't left this forest for three hundred years and haven't spoken to anyone for three hundred years." Toru Watanabe said with a smile in his voice.

"If you can, please tell me the way to the end of the world. I can agree to any conditions!" Miki Kujo said to Koizumi Aina loudly and firmly.

"I only have one-third of the path." Koizumi Aona looked away from the devil and looked at Kujo Miki.

"Mr. Devil, is he cheating?" Kujo Miki asked.

"I sacrificed 'death' and became an immortal witch."

"Death? Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

"It's a good thing, but those who died in the transaction will all die in the end." Koizumi Aina said calmly.

"The devil deceived you?!"

Watanabe Toru shrugged aside.

"No." Koizumi Qingna explained, "People are afraid of the devil, afraid that he will bring death and deception, but when they learn that 'death' can be exchanged, almost no one can refuse such a temptation."

"By losing 'death', you can gain eternal life, as well as gain power and wealth." The girl nodded. Indeed, no one can refuse such a temptation.

"But," the witch said, "once humans gain immortality, their desires expand endlessly. The vast majority of people who make up their minds at the beginning and only exchange once, eventually lose themselves and completely become slaves of the devil."

"As expected of Mr. Devil." Kujo Miki said with a smile, as if praising her good friend's cunning.

"Thirty million years ago, I came up with a brilliant idea." Watanabe Toru said with a slight smile on his face.

The girl ignored the devil and continued to say to the witch: "In that case, why do you have to exchange 'death' for only one-third of the map?"

"Because I didn't explain in advance how many maps could be exchanged." The devil explained on behalf of the witch.

"Do you hate the devil? Do you want to destroy him together?" the girl asked the witch.

"Hey, hey." The devil pretended to be frightened.

"No." The witch's answer was beyond the girl's expectation, "Whether it's a demon or a human, I think we should understand each other. In terms of transactions, I was negligent and willing. I can't blame the demon. Those who trade with the demon

, I also want to do that..."

"That's right!" The demon nodded frequently, "Human beings are really unreasonable. They obviously decided to trade with me, but in the end it was me who seduced them, causing my reputation to plummet. You know, gods work every day for tens of thousands of years.

, I don’t even go to work recently, but I am running business every day. Human beings should believe in me, I am diligent..."

Ignoring the chattering demon, the girl stared at the witch blankly.

A person who wants to understand even the devil, and a person who will never blame others for his fault.

Perhaps, only such people can refuse the temptation to continue making deals with the devil.

"Congratulations, you are the first person to ask me for a map and get it." Koizumi Aina suddenly said.

"What?" Kujo Miki looked confused, not understanding what she was talking about.

Koizumi Aina did not explain: "Maybe you can really find the 'end of the world'. When the time comes, please tell me where it is."

"Wait, I haven't gotten the map yet..."

Before Kujo Miki could finish her words, Koizumi Aona left the stage.

"What's going on?" She was left alone, muttering to herself.

"Do you need me to tell you? You can trade with death just like the witch." The devil leaned into her ear and whispered.

"Thank you, but no need." The girl unceremoniously pushed away the devil's handsome face and continued to move forward.

After passing the witch, there was no map, but the girl found the second knower - the shrine witch.

After a conversation with the shrine maiden, I also didn't get the actual map, but I found the third secret teller.

Finally, I came to the fairyland and saw the fairy in a white gauze skirt. The girl's village uniform was also changed into a white gauze skirt.

The girl left Wonderland and went to the location of the first person who knew the secret, the witch, and prepared to tell her the address of Wonderland in a message.

In the end, he accidentally communicated with someone and attracted the attention of the devil.

The devil followed the girl to the fairyland, but the girl was expelled by the fairy. There is no fairyland for humans anymore.

Rehearsed over and over again, carving out every detail.

"Well -" after finishing the practice and returning to the club classroom, Ichimoku Aoi leaned back in an exaggerated manner, "I'm tired!"

"It's ten o'clock, go take a shower quickly." Koizumi Qingna took out the quilt and prepared to spread it on the floor.

"Take a bath~take a bath~"

"Wait a moment." Toru Watanabe called to her.

"Ah - you are so annoying!"

"Teacher, you go take a shower too, and I'll make the bed." Toru Watanabe took the quilt from Koizumi Aina's hand.

Koizumi Aina did not insist: "I'm sorry to bother you."

Aoi Ichimoku and Toru Watanabe stayed, while the others went to the bathhouse with a change of clothes.

"I'm really surprised," Qingye Rin said, carrying a basket with clothes, "that you would wash it with us."

"Anyway, I slept with Watanabe, so we should take a bath together." Miki Kujo said nonchalantly.
