The day we set off. The first place we headed to was—the nearest station. Everyone was wearing Kuou Academy’s summer uniform. Buchou said that, if we were entering the Underworld, this was our best uniform.
This was the station where people usually took the train…Why were we going to the underworld from here? I was full of questions, but Buchou and Akeno-san determinedly headed towards the elevator installed within the station.
I remembered that it was a small elevator that could only hold five people at most.
Buchou and Akeno-san entered it first, and then spoke.
“Then, please come in first, Ise, Asia and Xenovia. We’ll be going down from here.”
“G-Going down?”
I was puzzled by Buchou’s words. After all, this station could only go up.
“Come on, stop blinking in surprise like that and come in.”
Buchou beckoned us while smiling wryly. While those of us in the new devils group exchanged glances with each other, we complied with Buchou’s words.
“Yuuto and the rest of you who are used to it, please come together with Azazel afterwards.”
“Yes, Buchou.”
Kiba answered to Buchou, and then the elevator doors closed.
Since we had some big luggage with us, the inside was quite small as a result.
As I thought, the floor display only had floors “1” and “2”, but…Buchou took out what seemed to be a card from her skirt pocket and turned it towards an electronic panel.
