Thirty years ago, the biggest disaster in human history occurred.
The Eurasian Air Disaster.
An unprecedented disaster that caused the deaths of nearly 150 million people. For the first time, all human beings recognized this new type of disaster – space-quake.
After that, similar disasters occurred frequently around the world.
It was not until six months after the Eurasian Catastrophe that the Southern Pass disaster ended as the last spacetime earthquake of that period.
Since then, space-quakes never occurred again.
The series of space-quake disasters not only caused irreparable losses to humans on this planet, but also allowed humans to obtain a taboo technology – a display device.
It was a device that reproduced the results of computer calculations in the modern world and completely distorted the laws of the real world. It was known as a device that achieved "magical" effects through scientific and technological means.
Although space-quakes disappeared after the Southern Kanto disaster and never happened again, humans still didn't dare to take it lightly.
Starting from the redeveloped areas, the popularity of underground shelters around the world had increased explosively since thirty years ago.
In addition, the signs of space-quakes could be observed in advance. There was also the existence of the reliable disaster recovery team. With the display device technology that was not disclosed to ordinary people, even buildings could be completed overnight.
Space-Quakes gradually became a term in people's memories.
Until five years ago.
With Tengu City as the center, space-quakes began to appear again.
This time, because the new generation of people had been constantly exposed to space-quakes from a young age, coupled with technological advancements, the losses caused by the disaster were minimized.

During class.
Shido propped his chin on his elbow and leaned against the table. He looked at the students in the classroom in boredom.
The two girls, Tohka and Origami, quarreled over some trivial matters.
"Hey, hey! Did you hear? "
Yamato, Shido's best friend, or maybe a gay friend, came over and looked at him with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
Shido, who had recently become a little nervous because of the Eight-cloud Ink incident, rolled his eyes and looked at Yamato.
Kotori and the others still couldn't figure out why they stepped on a landmine that day. As a result, Kotori, who was dissatisfied with the progress of the investigation, decisively vented her frustrations on her elder brother in her commander mode after accumulating a lot of anger.
Although Kotori's vicious tongue was cute, Shido still missed the gentle Kotori of the past when he had a younger sister like her.
"The latest urban legend!" Yamato raised his eyebrows and looked at Shido strangely.
"Urban legend?"
Yamato's words attracted Shido's attention. At the same time, Tohka and Origami, who were noisy on the side, also quieted down and turned to stare at Yamato.
Yamato raised his chin proudly, cleared his throat, and said in a deliberately low voice:
"You don't know? The mysterious cafe on the seventh Street! "
Although he purposely made his voice sound scary, Shidao was currently mentally weak, Ten Fragrance was a natural and cute foodie, and Origami had a slight Three Nothingness attribute. As a result, no one was scared by Dianting's words.
"Oh, isn't it just a cafe? What's so strange … "
Shidao instantly lost interest.
"Cafe? What is that, Shido? Can I eat it? "
"You can't eat coffee in cafes, but if you really want to say it, coffee should be edible …"
Shidao replied lazily.
"Shido, I can let you eat it at any time."
Origami added on the side, which immediately caused Tohka's dissatisfaction.
Then the two girls quarreled again.
"The owner of that cafe is said to accept all kinds of commissions, even commissions to assassinate the head of state!"
Yamato proudly raised the phone in his hand, and the screen showed a post discussing this urban legend.
"How is that possible …"
Shidao sneered. This kind of boring urban legend, how could Dianting be so serious about it?
"Let's not talk about this for now. Someone said that the two female owners of that cafe are very similar to Eight-cloud Ink and Yakumo Ashina! I'm going to take a look after school! "
"Pata!"
Shido lost his balance and his head fell on the table.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you? "
Grabbing Yamato's collar, Shido leaned his head over and pressed his forehead against Yamato's.
"You said … the two female owners of that cafe are Eight-cloud Ink and Yakumo Ashina?"
"They're very similar! Someone saw them from afar, but they don't know the details. The cafe seems to have some kind of mysterious power. They're clearly there, but they don't attract the attention of the people around them. Sometimes they even mysteriously disappear. It seems that they only appear at special times and then open for business. Only then can people enter that cafe. "
The more Yamato said, the more mysterious it became, which made Shido's heart full of doubts.
Could that cafe really be related to Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina?
"Yamato, after school in the afternoon, let's go take a look together."
"Shido! I want to go too! "
Tohka immediately raised her hand.
Origami didn't say anything, but her silent eyes staring at Shido said everything.

"Well, this is all the information that can be collected now."
Eight-cloud Ink, who was used to Taoist clothes, changed back to her original clothes after enduring modern clothes for a while.
At this time, he was leaning on the counter with his hands crossed in front of his chest and looking at Ashina, who was busy behind the counter.
This was a coffee shop.
"What about the spacequake, the mysterious disaster that mysteriously appeared 30 years ago …"
Ashina cleaned up the counter while looking up at Aistel, who was running around the shop from time to time.
The holy sword girl accompanied Ashina in the form of a sword.
"… Is Ink interested in this?"
"Well, a little. Do you remember the repulsive force we encountered when we first arrived? The disaster 30 years ago was probably caused by the appearance of the first elves in this world. "
"150 million people died …"
Ashina's face was a little pale.
She had never experienced such a catastrophic event with such a large number of casualties.
"Fortunately, we appeared on the surface of the sea and didn't cause such a big disaster."
If she and Eight-cloud Ink's arrival caused a similar disaster, with Ashina's kind nature, she would feel uneasy for the rest of her life.
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the entrance of the cafe.
Unknowingly, a young girl was already standing there.
The young girl had skin as white as milk. Her face was so exquisite that it was unforgettable.
She wore an ordinary summer dress with long bangs covering her left eye.
As the girl pushed open the door of the coffee shop, a burst of tinkling silver bells sounded.
"Ah, is this the legendary mysterious cafe that can accept any request?"
Like an elegant lady, the girl walked into the cafe gracefully with a gentle smile. After glancing at Aistel, she looked at Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina.
"Welcome, customer."
Eight-cloud Ink stepped forward and led the girl to a seat by the window.
"What would you like to drink?"
While asking, Eight-cloud Ink took out an exquisite menu from somewhere and handed it to the girl.
After taking the menu from Eight-cloud Ink, the girl casually ordered a cup of coffee and looked up at Eight-cloud Ink.
Her right eye was exposed with exploration and curiosity.
"Do you really accept any requests here?"
