"Shido-san, what is happening?"

Kurumi feels displeasure when the earthquake disturbs their intimate moment.

She thought that they were about to do something adult, however, it seems the world has some objections about that.

'Wait a minute! why did I think that? I'm not a lewd person, definitely! He is the one who kissed me so he is the lewd one! Definitely not me!'

If Shido can hear her mind, he might retort her.

While she is fighting herself inwardly, Shido feels that this is not an ordinary earthquake.

An earthquake mostly happened because of the disrupted movement of tectonic plates on the crust of the earth, however, this didn't come from the crust.

The earthquake— no, not just in the earth, but the whole universe is shaking.

Seeing this, he couldn't but feel nauseated.

If what he thought is true then it means that he will gonna die.

He suddenly feel the plot in his body and his face became grim.

The plot in his body is very lively.

Unlike in his previous world, the plot here is lively and active.

Knowing this, he couldn't help but feel despair.

Kurumi felt something amiss when she saw how despairing he is so he decided to ask, "Did something happen?" while patting his head.

Despite the bad atmosphere, he still decided to hug her to relieve some stress.

After some minutes, he calms down and looks at her, seemingly wanting to say something but he decided to halt and thought for a moment if he will say this or not.

In the end, he decided to tell it and said, "It seems that this world was about to end."

She didn't say anything and thought for a bit before she tell that she didn't understand.

He decided to repeat but at this moment, Kurumi do a facepalm.

She knows that he wouldn't say a joke at this moment so she decided to believe in him and tell him to explain more.

Shido tells about the existence of stories, plots, and the law of the universe.

Since the time is running out, he decided to tell her the basic things she need to learn.

After some minutes, she couldn't help but gasp.

Knowing that she is only a fictional character gives so much punch to her guts, however, she didn't mind it since she is truly a real person.

This is what she believes and this is what Shido believes and any more of that didn't matter.

What matters right now is how they could stop the end of the world.

Shido didn't tell her that this is only a parallel world and they can only back after five years in their original world, however, when the world ends, how can they survive for five years?

Still, he decided to get silent about it since there will be no chance or whatsoever.

*Growl

While they are having a conversation, a growl roams near them as a large white portal opens.

They didn't know what will go out there but they know it must be bad news so he decided to teleport but he couldn't.

It seems that the law of space here is very strict compared to his former world.

Meanwhile, a giant old man comes out from the white portal.

The giant old man immediately looks at his position.

Seeing the face of this old man, a flashback happened to his mind.

'I thought that was a dream but this giant old man, this giant old man, I know him. He looks like the same giant old man that Yu-san killed on the giant throne. But he's dead already so why he's still alive? No, this is a parallel world. Of course, he is still alive. Then Yu might exist here too.'

He suddenly feels regain his confidence.

The last time he saw Yu, he leave a green card.

As long as he tears it, he can summon him anytime however, this is only one-time use.

With a bit reluctant, he decided to tear it.

A minute later, Yu still didn't arrive.

'Where is he? Did I do something wrong? Is this even working?'

He couldn't help but get nervous since he doesn't know what to do.

He was about to fall in despair again when a voice appear behind him.

"Are you Ao?"
