At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

I was able to meet my brothers much earlier than I thought. That, too, is both of us.

I just thought it would take more time, and I just have to say I'm lucky to meet you in such a short period of time.

That's not all. We both had ourselves. I wasn't swallowed by impulses.

I suffered, I wasn't there. That's a happier fact than any more.

My brothers were saved just like me, so you can't be unhappy.

I can't beat either of my brothers on my own right now. I guess I was lucky in that sense.

I didn't have to kill my brothers, and my servants were beside me.

If we kill each other, we can probably win if we have a servant.

However, if I did, I would have felt remorse that I could not save him with this hand.

"So I'm really happy to talk to my brothers this way"

"... yeah, me too, 'cause I thought I had to kill you, so good"

"Ha, that's the same for me. I thought if we met, we'd kill each other."

The brothers seem to have few facial changes, basically a blurry look.

But not at all, my mouth is still laughing small.

When I figured that out, I was happy with this one, and continued the conversation with a smile back.

Most of the contents are tedious.

What were you doing after you woke up? How did you live?

What do you like about it? What city have you been to?

How do I live and be happy now? I couldn't think of it in my lifetime, just a public tale.

"Hmm, do you usually live in the back of the mountain"

"... yeah, quiet, good place"

"Well, I'd like to go sometime."

"... you're welcome. I'm sure your father will too."

We talked about our short lives from when we manifested ourselves to when we met.

Neither me nor my brothers have had much time since I woke up.

However, it was not possible to speak in about two days a day.

I'm glad to see each other, because I didn't think about efficient conversations to tell them.

One day, just talking about each other all the time, listening, breaking up with each other again.

An unchanged, flat, peaceful time. Such a day lasted for a few days, and that was comforting.

I can talk to my brothers again tomorrow.

Above all, brothers have memories, albeit fragments.

I was more than happy to share the pain.

I was really glad my brothers were trying to save me.

"What, is there someone like that man?"

"... yeah, that sign, I'm pretty sure"

"You didn't get killed well."

"... Mr. Geena is a good man. I don't think a red person... is a bad person..."

"Oh, my God, that's a bad tooth cut."

Fear I understand because I have memories. Signs of natural enemies who know they will never win.

A man with the same signs as that man who was able to fight all the power we had.

I didn't know there were two of them.

"Being close to dragons was unexpected on boulders"

"... why, I thought we were close."

"You must be a hostile opponent, but you'll be close."

"... nothing, not friendly, none. I'm just forgiving you because I'm your mother's friend. I can't believe I'm close to him."

"Oh well."

Only when I heard about the dragon did I seem a little upset.

But it doesn't seem as bad as it sounds when you listen to me.

Though they were hostile at the beginning of the encounter.

The dragon himself seems to have had a sense of disgust and crisis with his brothers, but he's not even on my guard.

He says the shackles are almost gone, and I guess I'm an easy crusher for him.

I'm just a little angry, but I guess we can actually win.

If I could neutralize the power of my brothers with all these powerful signs, I wouldn't be dealing with them.

But these days are chaotic inside.

Three of us have emerged, but each of us lives of his own free will.

Besides, there are two people who can wipe us out, and the brothers are friendly with them.

Besides the fact that the dragon is with us, he's trying to be a real dragon.

You can do an environment that is far removed from the thoughts of both demons.

From what I've seen, most of the power has already gathered in my brothers.

I'm pretty sure I got up without too much power because of that.

Perhaps if we recover the divided nucleus, we will not reach the equivalent of our brothers.

In the first place, but I guess my brothers and I use our powers differently.

"Can brothers use their power to the fullest?

"... maybe it's not enough"

"Even if it's a sign of brotherhood, it's still true."

We're all halfway there. I guess that's why we can live as us.

It's troublesome that I don't have enough strength, but I feel this happiness because of it.

If you think about it, can you thank all the idiots who split me up just a little bit?

No, their purpose is to wake me up.

We're just failures. It's outside their intentions.

There's no need to thank me or make any sense.

Without my servant, I would have died in agony.

"... by the way, I want you to call me a proper croto about me."

"Brother, can't you?

"... that's what your father calls it, and it's confusing"

"The journey. Are you sure? Then I'll call you Kroto."

"... yeah, me too, I'll call you Val."

This name is given by my servant on his own, but it can certainly be used to discern.

You know better when I'm called. It was given to me, it's my name.

Not a cursed name given as a killer of everything.

Just a name for the existence of 'me'. My name, it's just for me.

My servant gave it to me, it's my name.

"... Val, when they call you names, you look happy."

"What are you talking about? That's the name my servant named himself. Nothing else."

"... hehe, huh"

"What the hell, Krotto, that laugh?"

"... um, it's nothing. But I like the name Kroto. My favorite father gave me the name in my name. 'Cause I think I'm a crotch."

"Huh, I didn't say I didn't like it either"

"... yeah, you are"

My brothers named me Crotto, named after Tallow.

Kroto says that his name is a testament to who he is.

Demons, demons, demons, demons, kings, monsters, whatever they become, they say they are crotos.

As long as I am a 'croto' myself, I need to lose sight of myself.

It was a quiet word, but its eyes glowed mightily.

"... what will Val do when we get home?"

"Well, I don't know what to do."

There was one sign of the brothers I felt when I woke up.

That means my purpose will have been achieved, given that I soon met the new brothers.

Yes, the original purpose was achieved.

The purpose is gone.

Ruin patrols are only a means to save our brothers. It's a way to meet.

I was just doing it because if I kept recovering the nukes, I would have thought I would see my brothers.

The brothers I initially wanted to meet were definitely in Kroto.

And Tallow, the newly-manifested brother, was able to see him as soon as he manifested himself.

I don't have anything more to say about this.

"For a while, do you think I'll go out with my servant? Looks like he's gonna be left here alone."

"... well, then we'll leave again."

"But unlike before, we already know each other. If I want to see you, I can see you."

"... yeah, you're right"

"Huh, don't look so lonely"

"... you look the same."

I was unconscious, but did I look the same as Kroto?

Maybe I do miss you.

Because even though we met earlier than we expected, we're finally breaking up with the brothers we met.

"... but you don't want to leave the person you love the most. I get it."

"What? What are you talking about?

"... with Mr. Grudowl, you don't want to leave, do you?

"Hey, what are you talking about? That's just a servant! Emotions like likes and dislikes don't exist!

"... yes, is it?

"That's right!

Kroto leans his neck strangely at my answer, but such recognition is no joke.

My servants are annoyed with me, and I can't help but come after them even if I run away.

I can't help it, I'm putting him aside. I'm not doing it by my side.

"... but still some more, I think I can relax and talk. Mother, she said it would take a little longer to get home."

"Well, then let's try to speak fully until the day of our farewell. Call Tallow."

Just a flat, nothing routine. Loose time with no change.

Oh, I'm really happy. So much so that we have something to put up in a conversation that's nothing.

I can feel it from the bottom of my heart now.
