Mouchette

Strictly speaking, she does not belong to this world on the brink of collapse, but she appreciates it.

She admires the magnificent spectacle of this world burning, appreciates the suffering and breakdown of these humans in despair.

Faith is dead, society has come to a halt, morals have crumbled, and nature no longer needs to disguise itself as a boring "normal person"...

she can finally unleash the beast within her and reveal her true self, becoming her authentic self.

On January 17, A.F.3, after receiving the notification of the review meeting regarding the human sacrifice held by the Sect of Astral Dawn in region @4, I immediately set out to investigate the area.

By the time I arrived, it was already evening, and the area was shrouded in thick fog for unknown reasons, making visibility nearly impossible.

I did not carry any devices to disperse the fog, but considering the seriousness of the situation, I rushed into the mist anyway. If time could rewind, I would never have made such a reckless move, because, because there were terrifying @2 in the fog...

When those indescribable, twisted beings attacked me at inhuman speed, I couldn't react at all. My body went rigid, unable to move.

But ultimately, I did not die. That girl, the enigmatic girl from the fog, saved me.

She may have shouted "Tornado"? I didn't catch it clearly; I only saw an axe flying out of the fog, cleaving the head of that terrifying creature. Then the girl took the axe and slung it over her shoulder.

"It's very dangerous in the fog; if you don't want to die, leave this place."

As she said this, her expression was smiling, a sweet smile of a young girl, but for some reason, I found that smile even more chilling than the monsters in the fog.

A human, or rather something with a human form, traversing through the mist filled with monsters, yet remaining unscathed while maintaining that "sweet" smile...

In fear, I finally got up and screamed, distancing myself from her.

Soon, the thick fog occupied my line of sight, and I fell into a state where I could see nothing again. But her laughter, her innocent, youthful laughter, kept echoing in the fog.

In the eyes of most students, Mouchette is definitely the most suitable person to be friends with. She always wears a smile, enthusiastically engages in conversations, and is unlikely to refuse any requests made to her, which is why she often gets invited to go shopping, chat, or eat.

But only a few know her true nature. In front of these people, she no longer has to pretend to be friendly or hide her contempt for rules and order.

"What friends? Just a way to pass the time out of boredom. If I don't do this, I'll be seen as a problem student and taken to see Principal Kellett for questioning, what a hassle."

Her life seemed to always be full of surprises: first, she encountered the rampant unknown fog, and then she was inexplicably summoned to another world.

When the summoning ritual was completed and she first set foot on the land of this other world, Mouchette saw the familiar thick fog, and within it, the screams of people.

Those were the sacrifices fleeing from the cultists.

Sacrifices? Cultists? What... exciting and fresh vocabulary.

This represented a new world, running a jungle game of survival of the fittest, and coincidentally, she had never been the weak one.

Calmly, she hunted the cultists in the fog, happily even humming a tune.

"One by one, and again... in the unknown fog, I vent freely ♪"

"Knock open your skull, delve into your brain, let's pass the time in this chase ♪"

Amidst this casual humming, Mouchette sensed the hollow hunger within her...

this mad world could not fill the void in her heart, but it could alleviate her soul's hunger for destruction and madness.

One day, she will return to her own world.

But before that, she wants to see the conclusion of this world...

Will the one known as the "Keeper" be consumed by this chaotic and terrifying world, or will they shine brightly, bringing true redemption and light to this crumbling world?

This is a mystery, a challenge, a gamble.

And she wants to know the answer.
