"Hehehe, my name is Pine Shadow,

Lurking in the shadows, manipulating the shadows.

It's been over 70 years since the duel in Okubo-cho, how time flies.

70 years ago, a giant iron sphere with a diameter of 640 kilometers, sitting at the center of the Earth, began to stop and reverse its rotation. [Based on true events]

That immense and silent phenomenon triggered the butterfly effect.

And thus,

After that, the world would experience unforeseen distortions from unexpected places, but no one knew it yet.

Year Reiwa 25,(2043)

Five years have passed since the end of the World War,

As always, Kaoruko woke up to the sound of the first trolley bus and the faint smell of ammonia mingling with the sea breeze and children's cries.

This is Akashi City, a city operating on Japan Standard Time.

Opening the window, a slightly chilly sea breeze flows in.

It feels so refreshing, what a beautiful day.

Half a year has passed since becoming a high school student,

Becoming a high school student hasn't really had a significant impact, but I'm enjoying it because all my friends from junior high are here.

In the living room, my mother is preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Mother. Are you in charge of breakfast today?"

"Yes, dear. Is your father still sleeping?"

"It seems so. He was working late again."

I turned on the TV. It was on the news that the dollar was trading at 300 yen, but I didn't really understand it.

TVs are rare around here, so having one is somewhat unusual. Personally, I think TVs just take up space, but my father likes having one.

"What's for breakfast today?"

"We're having fish today. Recently, the catch has been low, so fish has become expensive."

"Sometimes I just want to have bread or something."

"Don't be extravagant. Wheat is expensive, and it's not easy to get bread."

"Maybe next time then."

It's still a bit cold this year.

It's too early to go to school, so I'll sit in front of the wood stove and read a manga.

I really love the old manga "Mushikaburi Hime."

Dreaming about a charming prince and a happy ending. Though it seems life gets tough after the engagement.

Oh, something's moving. It's making a rustling sound.

"Eek! A "Insect-Type Spy Camera Global Searcher Insect, GSI”

They don't harm people, but I just can't bring myself to like their appearance.

I heard they used to help people in the past, but now they just sneak into houses and eat. Ugh! I wish they would go extinct soon!

It's still better than them flying in.

"What's wrong? Why are you screaming?"

Father quietly came in.

"A ＧＳＩ appeared!"

"Well... I caught it barehanded."

"Oh, Father, well done. I could never touch it."

"Alright, everyone, have breakfast. If you linger too long, Kaoruko, you'll be late for the trolley bus."

That's right, if I miss it, I'll have to take a taxi to school. It's fast, but I don't really like taxis.

"Off I go!"

The moment Kaoruko left the house, the inevitable fate of destruction and annihilation was set in motion.

No one could stop it now.
