A Misunderstood Mentor

I heard singing.

It's a song I've heard several times during my adventurous years.

Outside the cave, as you are invited.

It was already dark outside, but the faint moonlight lit Sasha sitting on a large rock.

"Oh, woke up?

Stop singing and Sasha turns this way.

"... I haven't slept since the beginning. You knew that and you lured him out, didn't you?

Sasha smiles quietly at the eagle's words.

"Well, I just wanted to talk to you a little bit."

"That's an odd encounter. I need to talk to you, too."

Towards Sasha, let go of the killer.

If you're a regular person, Sasha flushes you flat out with a strong enough temper to lose your mind or freak out.

"Oh, my God, what are you mad at? Alice."

"Don't blur. I heard all the makeup and cooking I taught the eagle was bullshit."

"That would be so. You can't let Alice and Takumi go together."

"... Gu"

I want to bust across the horizon.

I was desperate to contain that urge.

If you get your hands on Sasha, it passes to Takumi in a bad way.

Since his adventurous days, Sasha has had no spare time for such schemes.

Nurhachi said Chairman Barbaroy was the last person he wanted to fight, but he's cute compared to Sasha.

I don't feel like losing if it's pure combat, but I don't feel like I can beat Sasha in the argument.

"No way, I wasn't expecting them all to live together, but you better not be alarmed. I'm thinking of kicking you out first."

Sasha took the paper I gave her from her nostalgia.

There's a big one written there.

"I suppose you recognize me as your best competitor, too. Same goes for me. So I won't forgive you."

Yes, Sasha draws a line with the other women around Takumi.

I don't yearn for strength like Leia or the eagle.

I don't even have motherhood like a null bee.

I don't even have a straight preference, like Karna or Chloe.

I have no idea what the emotion she has on Takumi is.

But still, it is clear that Sasha has strong feelings for Takumi.

"... with eagles, I will not forgive. The eagle knows the most about the takumi."

I said that to tell myself.

Sasha stares at the eagle, as if she sees through everything.

"I can't, Alice. Nobody knows about Takumi."

"That's not true. No! Indeed, Takumi's power is far stronger than that of a eagle, as if it did not extend. So let's climb to the top!

Since the day we met, I have trained without a day off.

Line up next to Takumi one day.

That's nobody else.

It's the only thing this eagle can do.

But Sasha looks at such eagles with pity.

"I can't, Alice. Takumi is much stronger than you think. I can't catch up with you no matter how strong you get. The strength of Takumi is different from your strength."

strength of another dimension.

I know that.

But Sasha shook her head, as she saw through the hearts of such eagles.

"It's not, Alice. Haven't you ever felt it? Takumi is heterogeneous. In any situation, I look over (fumble) at myself, as I do in my journal. Yeah, like, you don't have yourself there."

"… it is, and yet the eagle will one day be in its realm due to training"

"I can't. It's not training. Takumi was about to be born. Broken vessel. There is no human being in this world who can do that. You know what that means?

I've been trying not to think about it.

Who is Takumi?

The Father is the Creating God, and the Mother is the Great Spirit.

Takumi can't be a normal person.

"No one can do anything like be next to Takumi."

To Sasha's words, I lose my words.

Demon kings, null bees, and eagles are also heterogeneous enough in this world.

Until Takumi showed up, no one thought there was anything that would take us.

The eagles were saved by Takumi, and now they live laughing like this.

But Takumi himself will not be saved by anyone.

"... then Sasha is here for what?"

Sasha smiled just a little and pointed to the moon above the cave.

"All I have to do is illuminate Takumi in the dark. I don't want to stand next to you. When night breaks, you can disappear. But if anyone who doesn't deserve to stand next door tries to stand there, I'll do everything I can to get rid of them."

Sasha's words have weight.

Full of hard determination, full of unwavering confidence.

"Are you going to kick everyone who lives here out?

"Right. Takumi is sweet, so if you let it go, you'll be with everyone all the time. But that's not connected to Takumi's happiness."

Sasha's eyes, thinning and losing color, look at the eagle.

I felt zombies and chills in my spine.

I feel it again.

After all, I don't feel like I can beat this woman.

"Be prepared. You and everyone will eventually get rid of you. And..."

Sasha made room for nothing and looked up.

There's nothing there and I don't feel any signs at all.

"You too."

At that moment, a sway occurs in a space where there should have been nothing.

There is something.

How could I have never noticed?

Something terrible is staring at the eagles from above.

By concentrating, I was finally able to see what its presence looked like.

White, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, just white beings floating in space.

What, is he... Huh!?

Previously, the moment any opponent confronted him, he knew its strength.

But from this white presence, I have no idea.

I've never seen anything like this...

No, no.

There's another one.

The moment I thought so, something like a mouth suddenly appeared on the face of a white being.

You know what the eagle thinks, its mouth stings, and it hangs.

The wrapping air is as if it were different.

From the white presence, I feel nothing but uncomfortable.

But yet, for some reason, this is what I think.

Takumi and... similar.

White beings melt into the darkness of night, looking at eagles better.

That, unlike Nurhachi's metamorphotic magic, seemed to disappear, as if, from the world itself.

"... a, what are you? Sasha."

That's what I said. My voice was trembling.

"I don't know. But I can imagine. I'm not from this world."

Sasha answers, staring at the place where the white presence disappeared.

"So you're on the side attracted to Takumi. She's gonna be here forever."

Her? Is that white being a woman!?

"Well, it doesn't matter who it is. Anything approaching Takumi, I'll clean it all up"

With unwavering determination, Sasha has a Rin look on her face.

After all, I guess it wasn't a mistake to give Sasha the paper of 1.

And the eagle felt a threat to a white being he might not have ever felt before.
