only monsters

Chapter 1474 No.92: The Hazy Moon
Narita Shirahito had a dream.

The dream was filled with darkness, filled with monsters, each with its own dark luster that made them stand out in the darkness.

Among them, there are many things that conform to her aesthetic taste, but there are also many more strange things that do not conform to her aesthetic taste.

They are roaring.

There were roars and cries, one after another, rising and falling on the piles of countless corpses of their own kind.

The sadness, grief, anger and pain, which were worth a thousand words, easily swallowed her up and drowned her in the horror that she realized belatedly. She didn't know how much time had passed, but she woke up in the sudden silence and looked blankly at the gray pile of corpses.

And the group of beasts on the pile of corpses.

She still hasn't woken up.

She didn't realize it, but she didn't know how long it took her to break free from all those complicated and varied negative emotions. She came back to her senses from the trance and was slowly surprised by the silence of the beasts.

Then I realized that these monsters were also gray and white like the pile of corpses.

Even if you look closely, you can still see the color differences between them in gray and white, and you can also see the particularly familiar and vivid emotions contained in their eyes that are like animals and humans.

But they are all under the same soft gray light, extremely quiet.

It was as if all the pain, hunger, sadness, and misery had temporarily disappeared, making her subconsciously look towards the source of all the grayness, and see that the brightness in the entire darkness was still limited, but it was still the brightest light source.

That's a crack.

It was like a narrow crack in the world, an arc like a narrow single eye, radiating a grayish light without any warmth.

There was clearly no warmth at all, but it still allowed these countless animals that were suffering from themselves to rest like bowing their heads, and some even simply closed their eyes.

No breathing could be seen, but the body rose and fell evenly, and it was obvious that he was asleep.

She should have felt relieved by this, but she felt inexplicably panicked, as if something was wrong.

What's wrong?
It seemed like everything was wrong, and she shouldn't be staying here... She subconsciously looked around, her gaze driven by the increasingly obvious fear, and she was even more unwilling to look at the crack, as if the crack itself was the thing she least wanted to see.

But if you don’t want to see it, then what do you want to see?
She couldn't think of anything, as if she had amnesia. The panic in her heart made her more anxious. She opened her eyes and stood up, sweating profusely. She saw a pale crescent moon floating up as she leaned back, and the extremely sharp dark red snake eyes that made her feel at ease.

"Omer?" she asked subconsciously, and the voice was fragile, which she didn't care to pay attention to at the moment.

"It's me. It looks like you had a nightmare."

Calmly straightening his body which had been leaning back a lot, Omar easily concealed the shock that came from being almost bumped into by the other person who stood up excitedly when he bent down to look at his uneasy sleeping face.

"Yo, you're awake!"

At this moment, Sirius, who jumped out from the other end of the bench, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it over.

"…Thank you——" "It was Omar who gave you artificial respiration before."

"...?"

"That's not a very polite joke, miss."

As Bai Ren turned her head stiffly, the young man's expressionless face made her relax a little, leaving her with more helpless embarrassment.

"Sirius did the emergency first aid for you. Her response procedures are surprisingly professional. I have asked the medical department at the training ground to do an emergency physical examination. Please rest assured."

"Trainer~What is an accidental professional?"

This was the second time he had seen this strange scene. Bai Ren was more focused on dealing with his inexplicably unstable emotions and had no time to care about Sirius' inexplicable intimacy with Omar.

While she was silent and looking at herself, Omar was not scared by the implied dissatisfaction expressed in her sweet voice. He answered directly without being humble or arrogant: "It's just that I find it hard to believe that you have the opportunity to give first aid to others."

Facing these blunt words, Sirius seemed to have calmed down. He did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but instead took the opportunity to retreat and said:

"That's true. At most I can do some CPR for those who can't take care of themselves. The last time I gave artificial respiration was on a mannequin. Bai Ren, do you still have your first kiss?"

"what?"

Bai Ren, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, was stunned when he heard these words. He turned around and saw that both of them were staring at him.

"Fuck, why are you asking that?"

"Oh... Trainer, am I seeing a ghost?" Sirius was a little stunned.

The trainer simply raised his hands and placed them on both sides of his head, making an expression that was somewhere between thinking and having a headache, showing an inclusive attitude.

“Maybe it’s opening up a new track, but I personally don’t discriminate in this regard.”

"What are you talking about?" Bai Ren was a little confused, but she had experienced this kind of atmosphere in her past schools, so she immediately asked, "Did you misunderstand something?"

"You just blushed~"

In the internal voting of the Central School girls, Sirius was directly classified as a handsome guy. His daily style of doing things is quite manly, and he is also very decisive when speaking.

"This is the first time I see you blush."

"?" Hearing this, Bai Ren raised his hand and touched his face.

I didn't feel anything on my hands, but I did feel the warmth on my face.

"That's true, but to be honest, Sirius doesn't have many opportunities to see you," said Omar.

"Why are you trying to sabotage us!" Sirius turned his head and glared at her.

This height of 174cm, which is exactly the same as Rudolph's symbol, is quite oppressive, but facing Omer who has quietly grown to 184cm in the past six months, the fact that he looks up has made him lose momentum, and he cannot hurt the latter at all by just staring at him.

He couldn't even raise his hands: "Just tell the truth, so as not to add unnecessary burden."

"You were actually more protective of Bai Ren when you were training me!"

"I think we should all show due care to those who are awakened from their dreams."

"You're always so good at finding excuses!"

"Then please go ahead. I believe Miss Sirius will convince everyone."

"Tsk."

This was a guilty answer, enough for Omer to ignore her and continue to say to Bai Ren: "By the way, Bai Ren, do you feel any chest pain or anything? Sirius also gave you CPR."

"Given the arm strength of you horse girls, even if there is no bone fracture, you should be aware of the risk of bone fracture."

It's better to say that even if ordinary people perform chest compressions during CPR, there is always a risk of rib fractures. But when it comes to the arm strength and physique of Uma Musume...

Omer had seen Sirius use dark energy techniques similar to those in Dongyan martial arts when swinging a stick, but the force he exerted before that...

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't press hard, and this guy's chest is so big that it's difficult to give first aid, I just used my skill, okay!"

"Cough cough."

I don't think you have the right to say that. He coughed twice and challenged her with a subtle look. Omar just waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything inappropriate. Well, it's a good thing that Bai Ren wakes up."

"Although sudden shock is not a big deal nowadays, you still need to pay attention to it. I think your respective source energy teachings have also mentioned this. There are many things in this world that cannot be looked at directly, so I won't say much."

“…Before that…”

Bai Ren, who was still covering his chest lightly under Sirius's more subtle gaze, was silent. When he heard "don't look directly at it", he obviously remembered something and raised his head. He saw Omar's fingers on the light screen beside him, jumping a few times quickly, and then turned his head: "If you are curious about this, I can answer you through Line. There is no need to let Sirius know."

"I'm not interested in knowing," Sirius snorted, "Bai Ren, does your agreement to run side by side still count?"

"Be considerate of the wounded, Sirius."

"I don't think this guy is a wounded person. I think she has something on her mind and needs a run."

"I have no problem," Bai Ren said simply, raising his hand and clenching his fist, "She's right, I want to run a race."

Running is not conducive to thinking. You have to be careful of danger if you really think while running... Although I want to say this, I guess these two sisters who are in the late stage of their careers have probably heard this many times, and they may even have calluses from hearing it.

There was nothing much to say to the two college seniors who were two or three years older than me, as they were all old-fashioned.

The emergency medical department at the β training ground was also quite strong, especially when combined with the devilish characteristics of the local staff, so Omer simply switched it to standby and waved his hand.

"In that case, feel free to do as you please. Call me when you are ready. I will be away frequently in the future, but only for thirteen to fifteen minutes each time."

As he spoke, he recalled the monster cards that were flying back from afar, and in just a few seconds they were stacked in his hand.

"What is that for?"

"Ah, he's going to do some messed up advent ceremony," replied Sirius, who had already grown tired of watching it for the last hour or so.

"Summoning a guy who drifts in another dimension is totally the same as worshiping an evil god."

"Eh?"

"Don't worry about him, let's warm up again."
