Book 14: Chapter 5: Intro, The Invisible Enemy
It was just before 5:00 AM, around the time when the morning sun began to rise into the sky.
While most students would probably still be asleep, I woke up to a strange sound coming from outside my tent.
It was a sound so subtle, so indistinct that, for a moment, I thought I might just be hearing things.
I poked my head out of my tent to investigate further. And, although it was faint, I could definitely still hear it.
A few seconds later, Nanase peeked her head out of her tent as well, having apparently been woken up by the sound, just as I had.
“Can you hear something?”
“Yes… it’s faint, but I can hear an electronic noise of some sort.”
Perhaps due to its low proximity, the sound was so soft to the point that it almost blended in with the surroundings.
It was possible for it to be an alarm coming from a tablet, but this particular sound had been going on for far too long for that to be the case.
