Seiseki Momochi

Seiseki Momochi's last memory was a black flash. After that... nothing. When he opened his eyes again, the smell of blood was gone.

In its place was an immense meadow covered in wildflowers that stretched as far as the eye could see. The wind stirred the grass gently under a surprisingly clear sky. He sat up abruptly.

Seiseki: "...What the hell...?"

A few meters away, two other figures were also beginning to awaken.

Seiseki: "Meidai?"

The commander of the Fifth Unit put a hand to his head, visibly confused. On the other side, Nacanuma remained motionless, silently observing the landscape.

For a few seconds, none of them said a word. All three remembered exactly the same thing. The main entrance of Kegon High School. Mudano Naito. And that attack that was impossible to follow with the eyes.

... *

• Seiseki let out a dry laugh. *

Seiseki: "Haha... so he wiped us off the map in one fell swoop."

• Meidai looked away resignedly. *

Meidai: "Seems so."

• Nacanuma sighed. *

Nacanuma: "So this is... the afterlife."

• No one argued the answer. It was too obvious. *

• There was no pain. *

• There were no wounds. *

• There was no war. *

• Only an immense meadow bathed in light. *

• As the three tried to understand where they were, a light breeze swept along the path that began among the flowers. *

• It seemed that someone... or something... was approaching. Who would be the first person they encountered in this new world? That remained to be discovered.
