When I realized I was standing alone in a place where nothing existed as far as I could see.

The clearer your ears, the more silence dominates the world.

White everywhere, in such a space that the sense of distance became obscure, I felt a sense of pre-sight.

"This place..."

Yes - I've been here before.

But I can't remember.

Look around and see if there's any clue - but one thing, there's no such thing.

"Gui Mu and Man"

In trouble, they call me names abruptly.

The voice is a clear bell-sounding voice, very comfortable in the ears - and has given a soft impression.

Turning his gaze in the direction of his voice, there stood a woman in a young grass dress.

"Are you...?

"We've met before, haven't we?

That's what I'm saying, I'm turning a creep and a smile.

"In my memory, you..."

"Right. I don't know what else to do because I was just a little girl. That's the second time, right? Katsuraki Kazuo. My name is Yuteasia. I'm the god of this world, Agarta."

"Yuteasia......"

As soon as I whine about that name, one video comes up in my brain.

It's...

"Did you help me when I helped Aylene?

"Yeah, right. But it's your power, and I just taught you how to draw it, so it's a little different."

"Right..."

"What better place is this? I thought I'd lost consciousness..."

Yes, I lost my memory after I defeated the Hachi serpent.

I don't remember anything after that.

"This is the narrow space between the other shore and this shore. That is, the boundary between life and death -, the end and the beginning of all places"

"I mean, am I dead?

Well, indeed, the Agarta world would have no choice but to die because the extremely toxic atmosphere of magic was eroding my body.

And...

"You're a lot calmer, aren't you?

"Really? Well, more than I've lived as a swordsman, death is something I'm always ready for."

I answer shoulder to shoulder.

"I mean, I'm ready to die. - Is that what this is about?

"From the beginning, I intend to. If we're gonna put ourselves in a fight, it's a natural outcome, isn't it?

She gives a slightly troubled look.

"Is something wrong, too?

"Well... I think we should think about what's around us a little bit more and act on it."

"What do you mean?

I have no idea what you're talking about...

"You're really dull, aren't you? Who does he look like?

"What are you saying?

"There's someone waiting for you to come home, right? You're in real trouble..."

With that said, the woman in front of me sighs "ugh".

"If you have something to say, say it clearly."

"The way I put it, I remember that guy. Really, who did you resemble..."

She looked frightened, and after closing her smiling eyelid, she immediately looked straight at me for changing her mind.

"Gui Ki Man, this battle -, the demonic crusade from the labyrinth of stars that occurred on Earth, it was daunting"

"I didn't ask you to do anything."

"............... how come you honestly don't get an acknowledgement there?

"There's no reason to take it."

I sigh deeply when she puts her hand on my forehead.

"That's enough. When I talk to you, it really hurts my head."

"I agree there."

……

……

We'll bump each other's gaze, but you won't turn away from me.

Because going out of sight in the battlefield means death.

"Ha, already... You're my descendant, so it's a trouble to really resemble that guy. Wouldn't a woman hate you if you weren't a little more affectionate?

"There's no reason for you to tell me. You got more to say to me than that, don't you? Let's get down to business. I don't suppose we've prepared this place just to thank you?

"Right."

to my words. She doesn't know how many times. When she sighs,

"Kaiju, you have two choices."

"Choice?"

"Yep. First of all, a world suitable for your body - a path to life by transferring to Earth. And the other..."

I answer the offer.

It's...
