"Mm..."
Yukina slowly came to, and the unfamiliar ceiling before her startled her awake. She hurriedly jumped to her feet and looked around.
Under the stark white lights was an unfamiliar classroom. Several people lay sprawled across the floor.

"Really? This isn't some kind of multilayered enclosed space again, is it...?"

"No. Though it is indeed the middle of the night now..."
Shishido Yui took out her phone and checked the time. It was four in the morning. When they had performed the ritual, it had been around seven in the evening,
