Extra Chapter 314.14 Conversation with the Lion and the Snake
"Ah——!!" Ayano's scream only lasted for a short time, and then suddenly stopped forcibly as if someone had strangled her throat.

Then, she fell silent, just continuing to breathe involuntarily and loudly—like a broken bellows struggling to blow due to lack of oxygen.

"... Goo????"

Suddenly, Ayano suddenly made a sound that represented surprise but had no clear meaning.

At this time, the illusion on Yumiko's face had gradually disappeared.She gradually became certain that nothing had been thrown at her.

Coupled with Ayano's strange situation, the idea of ​​"wanting to know what happened" finally took over.

So Yumiko gritted her teeth, gathered up her courage, and opened her eyes——

"Goo-"

The scene in front of her made her make a loud swallowing sound unconsciously.

Incomprehensible.

In the strip of light like a stage spotlight, Yukinoshita Saya was indeed lying on the ground.

The environment was surprisingly clean and tidy, with no blood splatters or pools of blood on the floor.Saya's headless body just lay there quietly, with the katana flying from the sky stuck on the ground in front of his neck.

but--

What is incomprehensible is that...in the same location, another "Yukishita Saya" appeared!
A complete Saya standing there under the snow.

Saya standing and Saya lying on the ground overlapped in the same space.The feet of the former and the body of the latter fit together like two overlapping phantoms.

Tamaki Yumiko looked at the standing Yukinoshita Saya in confusion.

...She's supposed to be "new", right?After all, Yumiko clearly remembers the scene where the katana suddenly flew from the sky, and the "original" Saya was decapitated and fell to the ground.

But the "new" sand nights are indeed sand nights.

Her expression was as blank as ever, as if nothing had happened.

——But this expression is also familiar to Yumiko and belongs to Yukinoshita Saya.

But the "original" Saya on the ground no longer has this expression... because her head is nowhere to be found.

Therefore, the "newly emerged" Saya stands here, naturally, as if announcing with her own existence that it should be her.She should be the one to inherit everything and continue the "performance" on this stage.

...incomprehensible.

Yumiko was confused.

At this time, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the scene.

"——,..."

Like a mixture of a lion's roar and a snake's hiss, the whisper of some inhuman alien presence sounded over the scene.

……what is that?
What is that thing talking about?What did you say?
Yumiko Tamaki shuddered instinctively.

But to her dismay.The characters in the scene answered the conversation calmly.

"Tch—" the hot girl in the lead said disdainfully, but she looked unsurprised and frowned: "That old man, doesn't he dare to come by himself for fear of being complained..."

Then she said impatiently: "What do you want? Take it and leave quickly."

Yumiko realized instinctively that she was obviously having a conversation with that whispering voice.

Because next, Yumiko heard the chaotic words that echoed over the scene, a mixture of the roar of a lion and the low hiss of a snake.

"——,.,."

Then, upon hearing these words, the expressions of the four hot girls changed, and they all raised their arms to cover their faces.

The leader simply picked up his schoolbag and covered his face, preparing to run away.

As she rushed towards the door, she said loudly: "It's boring, I'm going home today."

But when she walked past Yukinoshita Saya, she turned her head and sneered, leaving a threat: "...let's play together tomorrow, Yukinoshita."

Then, several other people followed, covering their faces.

The four hot girls seemed to have bypassed something, clinging to both sides of the door and walking towards Ayano and Yumiko outside the door.But they did not come to this side, but the moment they crossed the threshold, they instantly became transparent and disappeared.

Only the sounds of them deliberately laughing at each other still came from nowhere.

But the "new" and "old" two snow nights still remain in place.

The old one still lay there quietly, like a rag.The new one continued to stare quietly out of the door.

Looking at this scene, Ayano was still slumped on the ground, but her breathing finally became gentler.

Yumiko got rid of the fear and horror faster, and her mind was spinning fiercely.

Even though her emotions were still calm, she had at least regained her rationality and once again accepted the point that "it's all just an illusion."

——This scene is the "stage" of Yukinoshita Saya.But the scene of "Saya under the snow was killed, and a new one was born" is definitely not something that really happened in the real world.

So, what does this fantasy scene mean?
Yumiko stared at the knife stuck in the ground.

She has not forgotten the relationship between Saya and the "knife".And from the outside... isn't it Saya herself, the witch, who is watching here from the outside?

And, who is that whisper of chaos?
Judging from the person who whispered the conversation...could it be the person who opened the door and Yukinoshita Saya was looking at him?

But why did that person's voice become like this on Saya's stage... Questions were flying in Yumiko's mind like snowflakes.

——At this moment, Yukinoshita Saya started to move.

The headless "old" Yukinoshita Sando on the ground was still lying there, as if he was really dead.

And the "new" Yukinoshita Saya finally left the body of her old self.

She walked aside, silently picked up her schoolbag from the corner of the sports warehouse, and then walked towards the door again.

The "old" corpse continues to stay in place, as if it has become part of the background.

Seeing Yukinoshita Saya about to cross the threshold, Tamaki Yumiko became nervous.Ayano on the side also seemed to be holding her breath.

Then - she really stepped over.

The moment Yukinoshita Saya crossed the threshold, the space on the other side of the threshold was instantly "infected".

As Yukinoshita Saya stepped forward step by step, the scenery around her, "around the Jokugaoka Academy Sports Warehouse", gradually began to slowly encroach on the space of the "Yukikinoshita Family Dojo".

Leading the playground in the dusk behind him, Yukinoshita Saya only walked a few steps before arriving in front of Tamaki Yumiko.

Then she suddenly stopped.

"... Huoshaoyun." She said softly.

It only took a moment for Tamaki Yumiko to realize that Saya's words were not meant for anyone.

Because she wasn't looking at anyone.

The "new" Yukinoshita Saya's eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water again.

In fact, there was a spark in her eyes that made Tamaki Yumiko feel so beautiful, just at that moment.

——But "that one" Yukinoshita Saya was beheaded after that.Then, the body with the sparks and head chopped off was abandoned by the "new" Yukinoshita Saya in the darkness of the sports warehouse behind him, and is still curled up on the floor, like a piece of garbage.

"Tomorrow, the weather will be nice." Yukinoshita murmured to herself.

Then she continued forward, passing between Yumiko and Ayano under their gazes.

Immediately behind her, "Twilight Playground" also followed, and finally spread to Yumiko and Ayano, including them.

Tamaki Yumiko was originally following Saya as she left, thinking about those questions over and over again in her mind, but suddenly she heard Ayano's "Ah——" scream again.

She turned around and saw Ayano covering her mouth and looking at her in shock.

Tamaki Yumiko hurriedly lowered her head, and was immediately startled herself. She instinctively jumped towards Ayano, and then looked back in shock to the place where she was standing just now.

——The scene that followed was swallowed up. In fact, only "half" was the dusk playground that Yumiko Tamaki was familiar with.

But at the position where Tamaki Yumiko was standing just now, a huge hole big enough to swallow several people appeared in the entire space.

The edges of the hole were sharp and messy, and the surrounding area was covered with fine straight scratches, as if they had been cut out with a knife.And behind the space hole, what is revealed is a shocking and ominous void.

——"The Hole of Nothingness".Tamaki Yumiko found the most suitable adjective.

Yukinoshita Saya also turned a blind eye to the "hole of nothingness" next to her.

She just kept walking.

"------"

The murmurs of the lion and the serpent rose again, continuing to call to her.

But Yukinoshita Saya didn't look back, she was unconscious.

Soon, her figure faded away like a bubble.

Yumiko Tamaki was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned back and looked at the sports warehouse.

——On the warehouse floor, the "old" Yukinoshita Sandy Night that was lying there was gone.

No, it should be said that the entire space in the sports warehouse has been lost.

What is now reflected within the threshold of that door is the crowded streets of Shinjuku.

Obviously, a new scene was switched over quickly.

Tamaki Yumiko glanced back and forth between the new scene in the warehouse and the "Cave of Nothingness" on the opposite side. In shock, various thoughts collided chaotically.

That "hole of nothingness" is obviously part of the scene.A piece of the scene was "dug out", naturally revealing the hole behind it.

But Yumiko is not part of the scene, but an "audience", so she can see it but not be affected by it.

But who poached this space and why?What is hidden in this space?
——Also, Tamaki Yumiko felt more and more strongly that someone was leading them.

Amidst the confusion of thoughts, Tamaki Yumiko suddenly felt Ayano pulling her.

"Yumiko, we..."

Tamaki Yumiko sighed, and her messy thoughts became clear.

"Of course we have to go to the end," she said firmly, looking up at the sky.

——Higher than the sky, the "witch" of Saya under the snow is still staring here mercilessly.
