Vol 1 Prologue (1/2)
Prologue : The Intersection of Rainbow and Night —Even before the beginning—
Part 1
The scorching sunlight shone like torture Even closing the curtains could not block the heat wave Thefraht touch could burn one’s hand
Outside the classroo waves of heat It was too ware, it would be more appropriate to call it “hot”
……The school should reasonably consider installing air conditioning equipment
The electric fan on the ceiling spun vainly Giving it a sidelong glance, the teacher, Jessica Levindear let out a tired sigh Was it because of the heat or because of the su closer?
Gazing down fro paralyzed on their desks The coht noas certainly the most careless class period
“By the way, has everyone decided what color to specialize in?”
Using her hand to wipe away the sweat sticking to her bangs, Jessica crossed her ar the platfor in the front row
“Zessel-kun, what about you?”
She patted the shoulders of a sleeping student whose body swayed like a rowing boat Opening his eyes, the student in question scratched his head as if he was flustered
“S-Stop that, sensei! Didn’t I already choose Red?!”
Hiding his embarrassment, the student’s cheeks flushed and he replied in a loud voice
“I knew you would say that Zessel-kun has always liked red, haven’t you?”
“Isn’t it thecolor? Fire, the use of that Recitation is extremely cool”
Behind the student as gesturing with his hands while he spoke-
“Still haven’t learned your lesson? Even though you say that, you got burned the last time you reached your hand into a fire”
The glasses-wearing student sitting behind Zessel taunted Giggles and laughter erupted from every corner of the classroom
“Well then, what color does Mirror-kun want to do?”
Jessica inquired, in order to prevent the dispute between the two frolasses, the student spoke
“’Life is the ocean contained within the body’ I choose Blue, because life is born from water To be able to create objects fronificance”
Mirror-kun, even though you say that, you nearly drowned in a swi the wry s behind him
“Enne, what about you?”
“M-Me?”
Answering in a flustered voice, the eirl’s face reddened
“Yes What color do you want to specialize in studying?”
“I-I want…… White…… because I want to call out Pegasus……”
The Winged Horse, also known as Pegasus, was part of White Recitations However, it had a considerably high level of difficulty Although Enne was a quiet and introverted girl, she set firm objectives for herself In fact, in this tirades were at the top of the class
“Enne will definitely be able to Recite it That feeling is i towards improvement”
After seeing the blushi+ng girl nod her head, Jessica asked the same question to other students in the class
By the time there was only one student left unquestioned, there were the most voices that chose Red, and the second most was Blue Third place, with about an equal nu each, were Green and Yellow Conversely, not many voices chose White This could be called a typical ranking in middle schools
—Now, there was only one person re However…… this person is where the problem lies
The other students understood this, and a commotion started in the classroom
Jessica looked at the girl who sat in farthest back end of the classrooth jet black hair, and a slender body figure
“Evheht?”
“Yes”
Evhereed in an extremely matter-of-course way
“The one I want is the ‘Night Color’”
After she said that, sis
“Wow, it’s still the sanature phrase!”
“She’s still saying that, stubborn Evhe-chan”
Anyhow, sohed with their friends Although the responses varied, what they had in common was that they marked Evhemary’s words as foolish
“That’s enough, everyone quiet down a bit”
After the noisy classrooain turned to look at Evhemary
“……Hey, Evhemary, don’t you have any interest in the other colors?”
“None”
The girl blinked slightly Such a Recitation color wasn’t a part of the high school’s color choices In other words, such a Recitation color didn’t exist in the world
—Elfand Recitation School That is the school’s official name
As the naoal of students in this school Recitation, that is, to sing the name of a companion Sketch in your heart what you want to create, the object you want to encounter, then praise that name and invite the object to your side It is that kind of skill Its distinctive feature is ‘Color Classification’
In the natural world, all the ‘colors’ that can be distinguished by huht In other words, th of light energy To su this coy
RedKeinez, BlueRuguz, YellowSurisuz, GreenBeorc, WhiteArzus
In general, Recitation consists of five colors Four colors are froht After including White, these five colors add up to the existence of Recitations
Currently, except for these five colors, there are no other colors in existence Even if researchers all around the world challenge this, establishi+ng a color other than the five is impossible
But even so, this girl has not changed her opinion since she entered ht Color Recitation
“……I see But, to clearly understand what you want to do is great, Evhemary”
Even though she was irl wasn’t perturbed If she were to be evaluated only by this situation, she would be considered es her ideas eneral, she is hard to predict
Just what are Night Color Recitations? The hoirl has only given irrelevant answers
The bell signaling the end of fifth period resounded in the classroom
The end of the last class caused Jessica to sigh The reason was that she no longer had to endure the heat in the classroom which felt like it irl again
”Class is finished I also have a o now, there is no ho duty, everyone else is dismissed On duty today are Evhemary and Biye”
At the end of the school day, the class suddenly beca the classroom
Part 2
A silent, absolutely quiet classroom Only the bell that announced the end of the school day vibrated in eardruh thecovered the field of vision
The broom swept broken, rusted nails into the wooden cabinet
With her untied hair flowing in the gentle breeze, the girl, alone, gazed at the scenery outside the
—Wow, it’s still the sanature phrase!
—She’s still saying that, stubborn Evhe-chan
Always
It’s always like that
Always laughed at, always looked down on By her classmates and her homeroohing at her, and then leaving abruptly
“……It’s not a lie”
She sighed and rown used to the abuse and scorn a long tio
She didn’t care if nobody understood She understood that wishi+ng for the acceptance of others rong
She sloalked towards the corner of the classroo curtains
“—What a beautiful sunset”
She was on the second floor of the school However, she wasn’t gazing down froirl liked the scenery she saw from this
It was a dazzling, radiant sunset, blessing the people it shone on —The ‘Night Color’ that she pursued was the complete opposite
……Yes, surely, she admired it because she wasn’t able to achieve it
But Even so, I—
The touch of a sudden, gentle breeze caused the girl to close her eyes
A co sun
For a brief while, she entrusted her body to the wind……
Let’s ring the bell of the Color of Night
[—Isa Yer she riena xeoi pel]
Muttering to herself, the girl let out a sigh
I love (desire) only you
[ia-c-fifsia]
Well, not really a sigh
Dancing in the twilight breeze, was a song
For this reason, do you quietly cry alone?
zette ovan Yer be zarabearc solituqs
Not existing anywhere, Until evening (the sht (place) you (I) are in solitude (alone)
Lears neckt ele ravience Shadir Isa jes qusi xin fears toga peg ilmei shel
That melody is the music (tremor) of the soul, The tone quality (dance) of tears
jes kless qusi medolia lef cirkus,medolia lef zarabel
It drenches the world, Because it is a drop (song) of the frozen (beloved) night
Hir sinka I, bekwist WeR muas ririsia harmone lef twispel
Let the Night Color’s woven song (oath) come to you
Yer she saria stig lef xeoi peg pel
O forgotten child, Come, O child who has been born
U da lostasia dremren boema foton doremren
Welcome back to the midst of slumber (cradle)
O univa sm thes hypne
And then I —
ende Years besti……
The song’s ending verse was about to be sung, but the girl suddenly stopped the singing Closing her irl slowly turned around
“……I wanted to listen until the end”
In the originally empty classroom, a familiar boy now sat in the seat directly behind her
“It was a serene song Even though the melody was so I’ve heard before Did you compose it?”
……I don’t need to tell you Because responding to that would be troublesoirl immediately turned so that her back faced him However—
“Hey, Evhemary Are you able to construct a theory?”
At those words, the girl unconsciously stopped her footsteps
“Theory?”
When the girl ignorantly repeated that, her coht Color Recitation You can’t be proceeding according to an existing color?”
“There’s no point in telling you that kind of stuff, Xins”
Xins Airwincle A student His grades were average in his year of students Although he had h to be class representative It was only her second or third ti to him like this
“You’re pretty unsympathetic”
Having hair the color between brown and gold, the boy shook his head slightly The girl aze away from him and stared at the object in his hand
“I thought Biye was on cleaning duty witha broom?”
“I’ a speech to on it in the library But I see”
Xins carelessly flung aside the broo his hands on thefra of which, she had no intention of chatting with him like this
“You’re done talking? Then, I’ home”
Quickly saying that over her shoulder, she prepared to leave
