However, Bellina followed his instructions and, after closing her eyes, suddenly heard a voice.
"Bellina."
"What?!" Bellina looked around and found herself floating in a void.
"Can you hear my voice? Good, I will ask briefly and quickly, because someone might be watching us, so I need to ask quickly and briefly, therefore, you must answer quickly as well. Do you understand?" Haruto then spoke in a serious tone.
"... I understand... But... Where is this, and... Is this your ability? Then is—"
"There’s no time! Don’t ask, just answer quickly! Do you understand!"
"Okay... I understand."
"... Huh? Bellina... You... are not from this world?"
Instantly, Bellina's expression changed, and she looked around sharply, her body trembling and convulsing.
"Who are you!" Bellina asked coldly.
"Of course, I am Haruto Sato..."
"No! I know the real Haruto Sato should be dead! How... How do you know that I am not from this world!"
"..." Haruto did not respond and remained silent for a long time.
"Is... Is your previous world a comic...? Or... a novel...? Bellina?" Haruto's question suddenly shocked Bellina greatly.
Bellina's heart raced, her breath became irregular, and the convulsions she experienced intensified.
"How... How do you know... that this is a novel?" Bellina asked with a frightened expression, looking around in disbelief.
"... Haaaahhh... Damn.... It's because there are memories that do not belong to this body, right inside your head..." Haruto replied in an annoyed tone.
"What do you mean!"
"Clearly... I am also not from this world, but I do not know what novel you are referring to..." Haruto then appeared in front of Bellina.
"What?" Bellina stared in disbelief.
"Well... I am like you, I died in my previous world and arrived in this world, but I did not know that this was a novel, although... I once thought it was a novel, because the body I inhabit belongs to a very pathetic third-rate villain, like in novels." Haruto said it with an indifferent expression.
"Then... Does that mean you don’t know... that this world will once again face the apocalypse?" Bellina asked seriously.
"Yes, I do not know about that... What apocalypse is it actually? Even in your memories, it is not very clear, it is only written that the sky will turn red, the Dead will gather and join into one large army, and Horror will start to group, then go mad and attack anyone." Haruto spoke uncertainly.
"Yes, the apocalypse will return once again, and the apocalypse will begin as you said, caused by the arrival of an asteroid passing by Earth."
"Where the fragments of the asteroid cause meteors to fall into this world, the radiation caused by these meteors will lead to the birth of the King of Dead, as well as the emergence of the 12 Kings and Queens of Horror." Bellina explained it seriously.
"King of Dead? And also the emergence of the 12 Kings and Queens of Horror?" Haruto asked with a strange expression.
"Yes, that is what will cause the apocalypse that will happen later, but... I do not know what will happen next, because just before I read the part about the apocalypse that would occur, I was killed while drowning in the ocean." Bellina said it with a sad expression, recalling the memory of her death.
"... Haaahh... So, is the protagonist of the story from that novel a first-year student, who becomes one of the First Rank?" Haruto asked, remembering a boy and a girl who became First Rank in their first year.
