Duanmu Huai climbed up the hillside and looked ahead. The Festival Venue just across the mountain was still bustling with activity, and no one had noticed that, just moments ago, a disaster that nearly destroyed the entire city had almost occurred...
But that was probably for the best. After all, this was exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes work the Inquisition handled.
As long as most people continued living in ignorant confusion, that was enough. The Inquisition would naturally take care of everything else.
"Beep beep beep—"
"Woo woo—"
Just as Duanmu Huai stood on the hillside, gazing at the distant Festival Venue, a burst of music suddenly drifted over from nearby. Hearing it, Duanmu Huai paused. Then his curiosity got the better of him, and he walked toward the source of the sound.
Following the music, Duanmu Huai easily reached the other side of the hillside. There, on the small Observation Deck, two girls were sitting.
Hmm... They were from the Wind Music Club too—Huang Qian Jiu Mei Zi and Kosaka Reina. The two of them really were a couple.
Duanmu Huai said nothing. He leaned against a tree not far behind them and watched their performance. Huang Qian Jiu Mei Zi was dressed rather casually, while Kosaka Reina wore a pure-white dress and looked quite elegant. Still, it was rather amusing that they had come to a place so close by.
As he watched them play, Duanmu Huai recalled the scene from just now, when the Fallen Angel and the Demon had fought fiercely on the other side of the mountain. He couldn't help but smile. Perhaps this was the boundary between reality and unreality. For ordinary girls like them, all they needed to care about was their own daily lives. As for things like world-ending crises and wars
