--It's in a dark, dark space.

There was a wobble. They're wandering. They're flirting. It's been ravaged.

It's as if my body is cut off from the four limbs and neck, floating in a different place, washed away, shaken and tricked around my torso.

The memories of what happened and what happened are terribly vague.

Everywhere it's pitch black, I wonder why it's thrown into a space where there's nothing like this.

――

――――

――――――――

――――――――――――

Nothing comes to mind.

There's no reason to be trapped in a place like this, cut off from your neck and limbs, floating around.

Then there's no reason why you should be in a place like this in the first place.

I love you

Every time such an idea passes through your head, you can hear a thin voice holding back your thoughts.

Whether it's flying or simply a distant voice, it's hard to hear. But listen, lean your neck over there, and you instinctively feel like you want to hear it.

I love you, I love you, I love you

Every time you hear that voice, the last thought resets and returns to zero.

Whether it should be said to be annoying or unavoidable, it is not clear which is correct.

However, as you repeat it over and over again, the distance of the voice that you hear, and whether you can do something about it, new challenges arise.

"I love you. I love you." I love you, I love you, I love you. "

The number of complaining or thin voices increases to block even this idea.

But that's counterproductive. I want to hear that voice and go under the voice of the Lord, and that is why I am starting this idea and trying to reach Ichi from scratch.

That's why--

"Someone, please..."

The limbs and head were cut off from the torso, and I couldn't do anything without being able to move.

That's why I want to rely on the power around me to do something about this situation.

I wonder if there was anybody there.

Someone who might be able to help you out in these unhelpful circumstances.

I wonder if there was someone who did a good job.

If someone comes along, I'm sure they'll answer.

--So, to reach the voice that's echoing from a distance, reach out.

△▼△▼△▼△

"---"

"Oh? That was quite a tempered shot, wasn't it?"

At one point, a strong and loud roar resounded, and the tremor transmitted to the ground and reached under the two innkeepers.

Outside the window, a huge black shadow rushed around. It slowly eroded from the center of the demon city, took it inside itself, chewed it, and turned it into something that was not from this world.

It's, it's sure to be the worst and worst nightmare where all the horrors of the world exist.

At a glance, everyone can't help but recall it as the embodiment of the end.

And Al understood that he was the only one who knew the fear of the end with his skin - no, with his soul - more than anyone else.

Abel, Medium, and others moved to break the situation.

Rather than moving with them, she's squatting with her trembling head here. Which side did you say would be a force if you lowered and followed it?

"I'm... I'm..."

Is that how you followed me, just to feel that you are helpless?

Then what is it for in the first place?

"Oh dear, you came back in such a hurry, but there's only one young monk here who's frightened and squatting." Well, I'm sorry, sir, but that's not a problem either. "

――――

"Even so, that's what Kahuma does all the time." Your Lordship ordered us to do it, and you're not going to run away? Do you know? "

With that said, Albert throws a question as he walks up.

The petite old man snorted his neck bones and broke his hips as he peered into Al's squatting face. The content of the inquiry is barely chewed with a brain paralyzed by fear.

Vincent, the pseudo-emperor who is not here, has reached some kind of agreement with Abel--

"T-Thank you, with me..."

"Tanza, that deer girl." More and more, I don't know what you're thinking... but your Lordship is short of words. At the very least, it would be nice if you could leave me a note about what you intend to do from now on. "

"Ah, you..."

Yeah?

Listening to Al, Alvaro, who made a frown, stands up. Without letting the strange old man escape a little further away, Al used his trembling tongue and throat to make words.

Albert back here, what is he going to do?

"Are you going to fight that?"

"Come on, don't be a fool."

"Eh......"

Al was unexpectedly surprised by Albert's overwhelmed answer.

Albert pointed out the window in front of Al, who was staring at him.

"No, I don't know at first sight." Oh, it's pretty good. I'm holding him with my right hand, and I don't want to imitate him. "

――――

"If you're back here by accident, I'll have to take you out." If you're not here, I'll have to let you get away with it... don't you know where you went with your deer daughter? "

Asked by Alvaro, who was mad at him, Al shook his head on the spot.

It's not a lie, it's a fact. Since that black shadow swallowed Red Ribbon Castle and flooded it, the exchanges between Abel and the inn have barely been remembered.

Barely, the ordered Kahuma jumped out and Vincent walked out with Tanza. And it was just that Abel left the useless Al behind, and Medium took care of Al until the end.

"In that case, you're in serious trouble." The fox daughter's orders motivated the people of the city, and it's harder to find one of them... I don't want to stay long, this iron fire. "

"--Oh, well, what does that mean?" Are you going to run away? "

Al turns his voice as he feels that the flow of thoughts leads to an incredible conclusion.

Al was stunned, but Albert shrugged his shoulders, “I can't help it.”

"Um, I don't feel like I can do anything, and it's a species with a lot of life." What matters to me is my life and my dreams. There's no reason to stay down. "

"Oh, the Emperor is here!" The Emperor has to protect me..... "

"If you're thinking and moving on your own, that's the best way for you to be a Lord." If you think you can help me here, you can't see me. That's why you're going to cry for the title of Smart Emperor. "

"Ah......"

"You don't have to be evil to escape." There's nothing you can gain by risking your life here. It's better to live wisely than to win. "

Alvaro's philosophy, it is a bloody and strong blend of the deadly Vorachian ironworks and his life as a surviving Shinobi.

It is by no means a substitute for what Al, an outsider, has to say. --No, perhaps no one but Alvaro is to blame for Alvaro's thoughts.

You must not let others influence or distort your life.

That's why the man named Albert Dunkrken reigns supreme as the strongest Shinobi. It is a synobi that is completed by not making anything important, others who are attentive, and so on.

There is no weight attached to the title of a general, nor to the position of the head of Shinobi, nor to the sense of mission that the emperor must be protected.

Not free. It's outlawed. ― ― The world's tallest [Outlaw], that's who he is.

I can't move the idea. I can't shake it. I can't shake anyone.

Then, if you ask him a question about his thoughts here, you won't get anything.

――――

He squeezed his back teeth harder and stronger, and lowered the arm that Al had placed against his ear.

The roar of the ground, the roar of the residents of the Demon Capital facing the black shadows echoed as if to create the hell of the world, shaking Al's heart.

Your heart is about to crack. My head is about to shatter. Your soul is about to be dispersed.

But I didn't. I haven't done it yet. If you're not.

"... let me ask you a question, Grandpa."

"--What are you doing?"

That black shadow mass has something to do with your brother, right?

The taste of blood gnashed his teeth, and Al's voice was spun to hide his tremors for a moment.

The figure of Al's doom-as seen from the tone of his eyes and voice, hidden in the veil of his mask, Albert touched his beard with his left hand.

"Oh, that's right." That shadow, in my eyes, looked like it was coming out of my boyfriend's heart. "

――――

"Listen to that, did you decide what to do with your stomach?"

Grumbling his eyes, Al bit the words Albert had told him.

I knew it, but underneath that black shadow was Natsuki Subaru. --No, Natsuki and Subaru were in the center of everything.

Then Al and I must raise our faces ready to see our back teeth crack.

If Natsuki Subaru is there, Aldebaran must go there.

"You told me to live wisely, Grandpa."

"Yeah, I think so."

"But I don't think so." Grandpa, your way of life is not a clever way of living, it's a cheating way of living. --I don't want to be a cheating adult. "

Don, there was a strong sound.

Not from the outside, but right next to Al. Al slapped his fist on the floor and woke up in pain and momentum. Deposit the woken body on the wall and get up somehow.

Your knees are trembling, your heart is frightened, you're not even fighting, but you're still full of spirit.

"Not when you're sitting there... you can't face your parents!"

He stood up with his hand on the wall, and Al peeled his teeth inside the mask.

Albert raises a long, rich eyebrow when he hears the screams of death and blood. And he glanced out the window, and he caught one eye on the barking Al's back,

It's good to have enthusiasm, but are there any prospects of winning against it?

"Hey! No one can win!" Even if I try 10,000 times, I can't win! Only Natsuki Subaru can beat that! "

He waved his arms wide, patted the window sill, and Al looked back.

Looking at the strange old man from the front, Al stepped forward with his burning eyes.

Grandpa!

"Oh, it's getting hot." I'm telling you, if you want me to help you..... "

"I don't want it! You better get me back, motherfucker!"

――――

"If it's time to run, I'll make it." So, give me back my authority! "

Al barked at Alvaro with his short right hand straight.

Albert held his breath to the roar of beasts, the cry of mourning, and the sense of mission that burned like flames, and the cry of Al without them.

Then, Old Weird slowly shook his head to the side,

"Well, if you're going to throw a stone at me, I don't have any objections." Originally, the battle was won by that kid, so I won't fulfill my promise. "

"Brother, win?"

"Oh dear, that kid just caught me in a chase." I didn't think it was a big deal. "

While saying so, he waved his left wrist and greeted Alvaro from the front as he approached.

Listening to Alvaro's story, Al felt the sound of relief and admiration once behind a beat that sounded like a bomb.

While Al was frightened by even the sound of the wind, Svalbard perforated his first will, brought it into a head-to-head confrontation with Albert, and took it to victory.

Surely, after a single impossible defeat,

I'm asking this for the sake of curiosity.

Suddenly, a twisted voice interrupted in the heartbeat, and Al looked at the opponent silently.

Albert shows his teeth to the unwelcome gaze and laughs, gently stretching his left hand against Al's chest.

And then--

How do you challenge an opponent who can't win even if you try 10,000 times?

"Shut up, motherfucker. - I'll kill you a million times."

△▼△▼△▼△

A new [Hoshimi] who inherited the destiny of preventing the [Catastrophe].

The moment it was pointed out, Tarrita's world shook tremendously.

The [Catastrophe] swayed the Demon City, and the rumbling sounds of the ground could be heard. However, the illusion of a collapsed foot is by no means a reason for that.

The man in the face in front of her - Abel pointed out it through the back of her heart.

"Yo, Yomi...?"

Sitting beside the fluttering tarrita, the medium that gently supports her murmured in her mouth to see which words she was unfamiliar with.

What you don't know has no boundaries, and what you don't need to know is a word.

In fact, Tarrita had nothing to do with it, and if she could just continue to live in the forest of her hometown as a "people of Shudrak", there was no need to engage with it at all.

But--

"I, ha..."

"Abel! I don't know anything anymore!" What are you talking about! "

Instead of a shaking tarrita, Abel ate a medium.

Without losing her temper, she squeezed her thin chest and grabbed Abel from face to face to shelter Tarrita.

"What's that 'star chant' about?" Why would Tarrita do that? "

"--The 'chant of the stars' was meant to serve as a prediction of the future from the circulation and guidance of the stars. No, rather than a role, it would be more correct to call it a business."

"...... Didn't you say it was difficult on purpose?"

"I don't mean to."

Abel frowns and exhales tinyly at the medium words that are struggling to understand.

Then Abel called out "Tarrita" again and again, over the medium. Tarrita unintentionally jumped her shoulders, and Abel looked straight ahead.

"In the first place, there is a close relationship between the reason I was pursued by the Imperial City and the [Star Chanting]." Tarita, you probably know what's going on. "

"Na, that's what it's about..."

"Of course, I foreseen the destruction of the Empire." You knew that. That's why you're trying to kill me in the Badheim jungle. "

"---"

Tarrita stretched her cheeks and bowed to Abel as she put her arms together.

The shock of being called "Star Chanting" was covered up, but the facts pointed out by Abel just before that could not be forgotten.

He did say it. ---Tarita is a hunter in a dense forest.

I'm sorry I let you down.

That is,

"Someday La..."

――――

"La, did you realize that I was after you someday...?"

Talita-chan!?

As she leaned down, Tarrita questioned Abel out of sight.

Hearing Tarrita's words, the medium leaked a stunned voice. Of course. If you ask that question, it's clear that there's no room for denying Abel's pursuit.

It was a confession of the fact that Talitta wanted Abel dead with her bow and arrow.

"The foresight of the [Star Chanting]... the fate of the heavens is roughly shared by the [Star Chanting]." When I escaped the Imperial City, it was predicted that I would have a pursuer who knew my destiny. "

What's more?

"If you know how the throne works, you can guess that the people I rely on are the 'people of Shudrak'." There are assassins in Shudrak. "

――――

However, I got confirmation that the assassin existed because you mistook me for Natsuki Subaru.

Listening to Abel's reasoning, Tarrita squeezes the hem of her clothes.

The truth is, Tarrita, who lives on the edge of the Empire, has no way of knowing the face of Emperor Volakia. All I knew was the appearance of black hair and black eyes.

I can't believe that the owner of such an unusual feature appeared in the forest that day at the same time.

"The reaction of you who saw me and those two trapped in the cage of the village was remarkable."... you're too honest about your roots to be the viewer's minion. "

"--Ahhh"

"After that, I accompanied both Guaral's strategy and his journey to the Demon Capital, but you never tried to obey the Heavenly Fate." Why is that? "

――――

"Why did you refuse to obey the Heavenly Fate?" I hear that the homework of "Star Chanting" is not something you can resist even if you know it. I don't think you have the will to resist your homework. "

With such a strong will, Tarrita wouldn't have accompanied her on this journey in the first place.

Abel's judgment was harsh, but correct. It's right enough to bleed.

Talitta is not strong enough to throw away her destiny herself.

If that had been possible, I would have thrown away this burden sooner or later.

If you don't follow your destiny, if you don't know that the [Nakatsu] will destroy the Empire...

"--No! I don't know at all!"

Tarrita, who was troubled, and Abel, who did not let go of his pursuit, did so.

Caught between them, the medium placed outside the mosquito net exploded. She stared at Abel with blue eyes as she spread her hands behind Tarita's back.

"I have no idea that Abelchin was targeted or that it was Talitha-chan!" First of all, if Tarrita-chan had been worried about that, she would have already done Abel's dick! "

"You need to put some clothes on your teeth."

You know! Abel, can you escape from Tarrita?

Abel engraved a bitter colour on his mouth in a medium and powerful words.

I guess I couldn't deny her words. However, Abel has already thrown his doubts at Tarrita.

In other words, if you were to do what Medium said, why didn't you do it?

That 's--

"...... I couldn't find it in any sense, Lars."

"- Do you need more than that to save the Empire from annihilation?"

"Ha! I didn't even know that you were the Emperor or that you were chased from the Imperial Capital...!" It was me, Te, it was me who was the 'Star Chanting' ha- "

The troubles that were all the way down your chest, your mouth was open and overflowing.

I was always wondering if I could use my words in pursuit of Abel.

But before it becomes a clear word-

"--No!!"

Tarrita and Abel's consciousness turned upwards as the medium screamed wide-eyed.

Immediately thereafter, the black darkness covered the building where the three of them stood - no, it wasn't. It's not just a black darkness that has spread, it's a huge black arm.

With five fingers, it stretches straight and swings down from the top to the building.

We have to smash the three of us here - no, like we're trying to grab it with our huge hands.

"--Medium! Abel!"

The moment it came to its attention, extra thoughts disappeared from Tarrita's mind.

The scene of the bullet just before, Tarita instinctively moved, holding the medium in front of her, carrying Abel on her shoulder and jumping straight behind her.

I tried to escape the range of the black giant arm. --But it's not enough.

Caught by falling fingertips, it will be taken away from this world without any magic.

Is that what you want me to do?!!

However, as the giant arm reached Tarita and the others, a huge mass was pinched between the three overhead and giant arms.

It is the walls of a castle that has been caught by the green trees and pulled down.

With its tremendous centrifugal force, it became a canopy to protect the three Talitas, trying to catch the falling giant arms.

Of course, it wasn't something I could stop.

When the black giant arm touches the city wall, it disappears as easily as a carpenter, as if he were a leaf devoured by a feather.

But--

"I won't allow any more wickedness in the city of Wu Chi...!"

A wretched woman jumped under the disappearing walls, her head beast's ears pinned, and she kicked her long legs straight up and pushed the walls toward her giant arms.

Shockwaves pierced the building, causing it to collapse. However, how powerful the woman's kick was, her giant arm deflected across the castle wall and the erosion stopped.

But for a moment.

Still, that moment was enough.

"--Oh, pull out!"

Tarita exhaled as she scraped the ground with her heels, escaping from the range of her giant arm.

Released from his arm, Medium and Abel stood on the ground. The three of them raised their faces and watched as the buildings that had been their scaffolding were swallowed up by the shadows.

"Yoruna-chan...!?"

We're fine. I think we've been pursued more than we've seen.

Abel answered with a jerk to the medium gaze.

At the end of that guided gaze, a wretched woman who had just released a powerful shot was jumping around in the wild shadows - she was Yoruna Michigre.

It is the power of the transcendent that is worthy of the "Nine God Generals".

I can see that Abel wanted to have a presence like her on his side. I'm sure someone as powerful as her could easily accept a fate that would have shaped the world.

Like Tarita, I didn't hesitate to look at it.

"You saved me again, Tarita."

Abel looks at Tarita as she kneels down to see through Tarita's gaze.

Tarrita is unable to calm her breathing for a different reason than the amount of exercise she had last time. However, it seems that Abel is not going to let Talitha rest physically or mentally.

"If I don't reach out, I may have lost my life without exerting myself." Still, did you save me because you can't achieve your destiny without getting your hands dirty? "

"Chi, you're wrong...!"

"Then why?" Your behavior is consistent-- "

"More than that, thank you for your help!"

Accused of inconsistent behavior, Medium again saves speech-stricken Tarrita.

Medium, with her beautiful blonde hair, was pointing his finger at Abel in front of him. It's a tall trick, but the medium doesn't bend the claim, it doesn't stop.

"Neither I nor Abelchin would have died if Talitta hadn't saved me." I have to thank you first. Thanks, Talita-chan! "

"Ee, ee..."

"After that, let's talk about it now!" What about Abel Chin? What do you want from Tarrita-chan? "

Medium turned back to Abel and thanked him.

Her pursuit was somewhat delayed by the interaction between Abel and Tarrita, and Abel sighed that she could not get along with her comprehension.

"I've already told Tarrita about it." I don't need to get your understanding. "

"If you don't know, I'll interrupt you until you know." Is that all right!? "

"- I must die to appease that [catastrophe]." That's the future of "Star Chanting", the destiny of Tarita. "

"--I don't know what it means to ask." Why, when Abelchin dies, the big black shadow grows bigger? That's weird! "

Tarrita gnawed at the inside of her cheek as she complained of the biting medium.

Indeed, I can see the foresight of saving the Empire from annihilation as a result of fulfilling its destiny. Talitta doesn't know exactly how it's going to come about.

However, such a point merely reminds Abel of his ruthlessness in a more medium way.

"--Of course it's strange."

However, Talitta's guess was held back by the sound of Abel's words.

Show me your teeth and say, "That's crazy!" Medium, "Abel repeats, putting her hand around her mouth and repeating it once again," Something's wrong. "

"Tarrita"

"Ah, na, what are you doing?"

"Your destiny is to take my life to save the Empire from destruction." Isn't there a difference?

"--Oh"

Asked again, Tarrita shook her head vertically, hesitating.

That's what I heard. If I needed it, I couldn't put it into action.

But after he had ascertained it, Abel said again, "If so."

Is that what you know about destruction?

"Eh..."

"I know that there was a 'catastrophe' that brought about the destruction of the Empire. But I'm sure you're sure that's the case. Is there any difference?"

Asked that question, Tarrita rushed her thoughts to see what she meant.

That black shadow that gradually spread out from the center of the Demon City, what do you call that presence that evokes horrifying awe without calling it a "catastrophe"?

A nightmare scene that can be seen over and over again.

Every night, nightmares rang out to remind me of the moments of destruction that had come to Tarrita. It's exactly that manifestation, but--

"That's right, whether it's a 'catastrophe' or not......"

"Isn't that something you can learn?" Then how about another [Star Chanting]? "

"Others....."

Even so, Tarrita could only swim her eyes.

Abel said that [Star Chanting] was connected to each other, but Tarita was an exception. - No, the word "exception" does not apply. In the first place, the foundation is different.

That's why I didn't know Tarita had another [Star Chanting] in mind.

"A......"

If you know [Star Chanting], you just ran into him.

――――

That fine man who did not break his stubborn attitude, and the unpleasant person who did not call himself, was so familiar with the situation that he called Tarrita "Shudrak's Blood".

He knew of Tarrita's sins. Probably because of the connection between [Hoshimi] and each other.

And what did he say when he saw the great calamity, which was the chant of the stars?

Yes, indeed, that man--

"Haha, it's outside my area of responsibility..."

"--Yeah, the 'Star Chanting' said. I see."

Abel Chin?

Abel nodded and turned away after hearing Tarrita's shocked words.

He frowned at the way it looked, and a medium flashed in front of Abel, peering into his face. Then the medium opened its round eyes.

The reason for her surprise was also revealed by Abel's reaction immediately afterwards.

Abel struck her face covered in ghosts and continued to wreak havoc in the center of the Demon Capital. No, she was looking at the pitch-black that swallowed everything.

"--Is the destruction of the Empire different from the 'catastrophe'?"

Abel mumbled slightly and let out a short exhalation.

That sounded like a smile to Tarrita, who couldn't see his face.

"Then there is no reason for the developing world." ― ― ― I'm going to ask you to disappear from the board, unintentional.
