[Requests Accepted] [UNiSONSHIFT] 時計仕掛けのレイライン ─朝霧に散る花─ [VJ009444]

I've been searching all along. For you, on the other side of the boundary line— The clockwork ley line, the final curtain is finally rising. ■ Story The "Night World," which had been appearing at the academy every night, has collapsed, and the "Night Students" have vanished. The protagonists believe that the fire that occurred at the academy 20 years ago might be the cause of everything, and they begin to investigate the details of the incident in order to reunite with their missing friends who disappeared as "Night Students." Meanwhile, the long-missing headmaster has secretly begun to move in order to revive the "Night World." What exactly happened at the academy 20 years ago? What is the time-manipulating witch, Kraal Razlit, up to? And what about the Night Students now…? All the mysteries surrounding the academy are about to be revealed. ■ Characters 【The strong protagonist guided by a letter】 ● Kuga Miki A first-year student at the private Tenbin Ruri Academy. The protagonist. His speech is somewhat rough and combative, but at heart, he is caring, which often leads him into troublesome situations. At the academy, he goes by the name "Kuga Maru," but he is actually the older brother of Maru and is older than Yuho and the others. He often argues with Yuho, but they don't dislike each other. He is still getting used to the fact that Kotaro has disappeared. "If I’m being honest, the invitation to the academy was supposed to go to my sister Maru, but it seemed suspicious, so I came instead." 【The vanished special investigation companion】 ● Karasuma Kotaro (CV: Souichi Kadokura) A first-year student and classmate of the protagonist. He is nicknamed "Omaru." He has a strong sense of camaraderie and seems to find the arguments between the protagonist and Yuho endearing as he watches with a smile. After the collapse of the Night World, he disappeared from the protagonist’s sight along with the return of Hanatate Mutsuki. Will the protagonists be able to reunite with him once again…? "Should I say goodbye…?" 【The calm and collected girl leading the special investigation team】 ● Shikagatani Yuho (CV: Minori Moriya) A second-year student who had been running the special investigation division alone until the protagonists arrived. She is intelligent, calm, and somewhat aloof due to her high intellect, but she is polite and courteous. However, she has a solitary aura that keeps people at a distance. She possesses a somewhat aggressive side that can resort to forceful means for her goals. She initially shows no interest in the protagonists, who were thrust upon her by the headmaster, but she gradually begins to open up. She came to the academy to search for her missing friend, Hanatate Mutsuki, and has achieved that goal, but now she is also trying to uncover the truth from 20 years ago for the sake of the vanished Kotaro. "Mutsuki is a close friend from before we came here. I can guarantee that she is trustworthy." 【The knowledgeable support member in the underground library】 ● Lito (CV: Haruto Tsurumi) A mysterious female student who is always alone in the vast underground library. Her grade and class are unknown. She seems to have memorized all the contents of the books in the library and supports the special investigation division with her knowledge and memory. She enjoys conversing with people and is friendly, so she treats visitors to the library well. However, she only answers the specific questions asked, which can come off as annoying, but she has no ill intentions. She always addresses others by their full names and carries around an old, large book. She is not human but a homunculus created by the academy's founder, Kraal Razlit. "Twenty years ago… It's not recorded in my records either." 【The headmaster scheming to revive the Night World】 ● Kurosaka Futari (CV: Yui Ogura) A small girl sitting in the headmaster's chair at Tenbin Ruri Academy, her age is unknown. Commonly referred to as "the headmaster." She is always whimsical yet experiences extreme emotions, acting out in an exaggerated, theatrical manner, making her a somewhat clownish character whose thoughts are difficult to discern. She is easily amused, laughing loudly at things that aren’t particularly funny. Created by a mysterious "master," she is a homunculus, and due to her master's orders, she prioritizes the revival of the Night Students, leading her to oppose the protagonists. At one point, she was locked away in the treasure vault, but she is currently on the run. "Alright!!!! The time has come to revive the Night World!! And the inhabitants of the Night World!!!!" 【The mysterious girl】 ● Andel (CV: Miu Yuzuhara) A mysterious girl who appears before Miki and Maru. She has a faintly translucent, ghostly appearance. For some reason, this girl appeared in the memories of the time when the Kuga family burned down… Is she a haunting memory of a dreadful past or just a bad dream? Or perhaps…? "Even if it involves suffering…" 【The perfume sorceress from a prestigious family】 ● Adelheid Ritter von Weinberger (CV: Kaname Shiratsuki) The young head of a prestigious magical family. Her family specializes in magic using "scents" and "herbs," and they run a well-established perfume company. She has a strong sense of justice and is action-oriented, unable to tolerate any form of injustice, cheating, or dishonesty, embodying a noble and virtuous character. Her extreme competitiveness often leads to arguments with her butler, and even when she is at a disadvantage, she cannot stop, digging her own grave and ending up in tears. She came to the academy to retrieve her grandmother's belongings, but now that she knows the secrets of the Night World, she remains at the academy to assist Yuho and the others after achieving her goal. 【The taciturn, sharp-tongued butler】 ● Rui (CV: Yoshiyuki Arimura) The butler who always accompanies Adelheid. He hails from a branch family of the Weinberger clan, serving the main family for generations, and is a cousin to Adelheid. He is usually quiet and stands still, but he generally has a bad relationship with Adelheid and occasionally clicks his tongue. When allowed to speak, he can be quite talkative, spewing sharp remarks. He is a powerful witch with red eyes, but since his abilities are not innate, there are limitations to their use. "I'm not pushing myself. Were you even listening to what I said—? That's how it is." 【The messenger from the main Weinberger family】 ● Arik Ritter von Weinberger (CV: Yuji Masuoka) He comes from a relatively distant branch of the Weinberger family and is the adoptive brother of Rui, who was taken in by the main family due to his high compatibility with the witch's eye. He feels a deep sense of gratitude towards the main Weinberger family and respects the will of the previous heads. On behalf of these previous heads, he has come to Tenbin Ruri Academy to bring Rui and Heiji back to Germany, ignoring repeated requests for their return. "Don't underestimate it. It was clear from the moment I stepped in that this place is quite special." 【The witch who moves the magic circle connecting day and night】 ● Murakumo Haruka (CV: Nana Nogami) The twin sister of Murakumo Shizuharu. Though she is enrolled in the academy, she does not attend classes and resides inside the clock tower, operating the magic circle that serves as the source of the magic connecting the two worlds of day and night. She is best friends with Tsubaki. Born a witch, she has had the ability to manipulate things since childhood. She has a laid-back personality but possesses a strong core, accepting her fate as a witch for the sake of the things she wants to protect. She hides from regular students, and only the headmaster, those involved deeply with the academy, the special investigation members, and Tsubaki know of her existence. "I was playing scapegoat alongside Hime-chan. I’m technically a witch too!" 【The acting chairman of the academy's discipline committee】 ● Mibu Tsubaki (CV: Marino Kawashi) She has returned to the discipline committee and is busy every day as the acting chairman. A second-year student. She is strict with herself, responsible, and caring towards others. Even when there’s no benefit for her, she can act for the sake of others. In Chapter 1 (Twilight Boundary), her talent as a witch blossomed, and she possesses the ability to quickly see through lies with her excellent intuition. She is best friends with Murakumo Haruka. "Y-yeah, cats are cute." 【Due to various circumstances, a servant of the special investigation team】 ● Murakumo Shizuharu (CV: Tohru Furukawa) A former member of the discipline committee who teamed up with Mibu Tsubaki to patrol the school building. A second-year student. He has a foul mouth, is quick-tempered, and easily loses his cool. He has almost no charm and always looks grumpy, but he is a serious type who does his job properly. He became a member of the special investigation team due to a certain incident in Chapter 1 (Twilight Boundary), but the protagonist treats him like a lackey. He seems to dislike the protagonist, who does not treat him like a senior, leading to constant arguments. He is fundamentally outshined by his twin sister, Murakumo Haruka, and is often at her mercy. "Dammit, Kuga—!! Hurry up and help… Whoa, don’t fly around like that, you skeleton model—!!" 【The friend Yuho has been searching for who has finally reappeared】 ● Hanatate Mutsuki (CV: Mariya Kurata) Yuho's best friend, childhood companion, and partner. She had been missing within the academy but was safely rescued after the collapse of the Night World. Bright, friendly, and naturally carefree, her fundamental principle is to "not sweat the small stuff." To Yuho, she is not only an important friend but also a Watson-like presence, providing hints with her casual remarks without even realizing it. "From today, I’ll be helping with the special investigation!" 【The protagonist's sister with unknown powers as a witch】 ● Kuga Maru (CV: Shizuku) The protagonist's sister, the real "Kuga Maru." A powerful witch, but she doesn’t fully understand the details of her abilities. Using her powers too much can make her feel unwell. She intended to attend Tenbin Ruri Academy herself, but ultimately, she was pushed to let her brother go instead, which makes her quite worried about him. Generally shy and reserved around strangers, she only reveals her true self around her brother Miki. "Get out! What do you mean by telling me to change while staying here?!"
