Lead the other world.

……

I can see the ceiling of the tent in the view of Takumi, who opened his eyes.

When Takumi woke up a few seconds later, Stella, who had already finished herself by waking up ahead sitting beside Takumi's futon, carefully bowed when she noticed the awakened Takumi.

"Good morning, Takumi."

"Oh, my goodness"

Takumi, bitten to death by his absences, suddenly held his head back with a look of anguish.

"Huh!?

"Master Takumi!?

Stella, who noticed Takumi's anomaly, gave a rare and bewildered look and turned her hand around Takumi's back to support her body.

After a while, Takumi, whose nauseating headache had healed, exhaled by wiping a twitchy, bubbling sweat with her clothes sleeves.

"Are you all right?

Takumi replied with a bitter smile when Stella, who seemed worried to be rubbing Takumi's back like that, asked.

"It's okay, 'cause there's nothing more"

"Really...... But that's unusual. Did you have a bad dream or something?

You were relieved that Takumi had no problems, Stella jokingly said so with a small grin on her mouth stroking down her chest.

"Dreams..."

"Heh heh, I'm kidding. I'll make you breakfast."

"Oh. I'll go when I get dressed and ready, too."

Takumi, who missed Stella by exchanging words like that, turned the futon into a magic back.

(I think I forgot something...)

I was thinking about remembering things in my head but couldn't think of anything, and Takumi got out of the tent dressed in fabric gear that protected herself from magic and physical shocks without inhibiting her movements from sleeping rolls.

Outside the tent, Walnut and Sola, already chatting about their seats, a little further away, Stella was making soup in a pot.

"Oh, Takumi!

"Good morning, Takumi!

"Good morning, both of you."

Takumi, who greeted them lightly, went to flutter and wash her face in a nearby lake.

"Ugh..."

Sitting down to dull the waters of a clear and clear lake, Takumi, washed his face, looked at the lake for a while, visible through exhalation and then to the bottom of the water.

"Trouble?

Takumi, who was suddenly spoken to, was surprised for a moment, but turned around and clasped his shoulders.

"What the hell, Sola..."

"What is it?"

"Ha, sorry"

Sola, dressed in a white piece after such an exchange, sat next to Takumi and stared at the lake just like Takumi.

"Something wrong or something?

"Mm-hmm. Nothing. It's just... I don't know. Remember, at first, I just wanted to find my dad and go back to where I was."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Now there are people in this world who are irreplaceable to me and citrus fruit. So I wanted to find a way to come and go with citrus vegetables, the original world and this world."

Takumi looked up at the blue sky with no clouds and exhaled.

"But it's been over another year without finding any clues to that. I heard that Mr. Lumière would find the answer to all sorts of trials before... I was wondering if I could just get past the trials that really showed up in front of me. I've been thinking about something lately."

"Hmmm......"

Sora, sitting next to Takumi with such an unfloating look, leaned back to keep her weight in Takumi.

"Really? It didn't look that way to me."

Takumi shut up without saying anything back to Sola, who said so and made a small stretch.

"Takumi always thought about the citrus and the walnuts. And how can you be strong to protect your precious and irreplaceable companions..."

"Well... I'm not wrong."

Takumi, who answered with such a distant eye, lifted Sola, who was falling to deposit her body with herself, to move her before herself, who had a Walrus.

"When I woke up this morning, for some reason, that kind of thing suddenly ran around my head. I'm confused myself. I've never even believed and doubted Luke or Mr. Lumiere's story before."

"Hmm, I wonder if there's any reason to lie to Takumi"

"I thought so too, and I don't think those two are lying. It's just..."

Takumi narrows her eyes.

"I haven't said the key thing. What exactly does the Demon General intend to do? You've fought a few times, but you just like to fight, so you somehow want to conquer the world. I know that's not the reason. Of course, for whatever reason, it's unacceptable to attack and destroy the city."

"Yeah, that's right, isn't it"

"Well, I just thought about it and I don't know anything about it"

"Heh, yeah."

Yes. At the end of the conversation, Takumi stood up with Sola, lifting her arms up and stretching her body.

"One by one from what's right in front of me for now. I guess that's what it'll be like for a while."

"Yeah, I think you can be like Takumi"

"Okay! We'll both worry if it's too late, shall we go back"

"Yeah!"

The two of them looked forward to seeing what Stella, who was good at cooking, would make, leaving the spot behind.

The four rendezvous confirm their plans for today as they chat as usual looking to have fun over breakfast.

The same four peaceful people as usual.

However, something changed from this day to the border in Takumi.
