"I'm pretty sure I'll never see you again with the guys from the past.... when we meet or break up. Unfortunately, the next new encounter won't happen if you step in there."

"Still, I miss you a little bit"

"The neighborhood is full of people. If there's a mountain of encounters I'd like to see again, I'm sure I won't have much fun in my life."

"Something sten, selfish"

"Ha ha, I can't honestly live either. What's so fun about his life?"

"... mmm"

After that, the laughter of Sten echoes in the meadows.

Chew the meaning of his words as he watches a few wild birds fly towards the sky.

I feel like maybe I'll be gone from my place.

"Stée -"

"Oh, there you are! I looked for you!

"Oh, to Ocan, to Shanoar, to Tullies... make it harder now, guys!

"That!? Can you at least call me about the oila, brother!?

I was blocked from trying to speak up.

What I wanted to hear, I couldn't ask.

So, I got it.

When we get back to the future, that we can't be together.

"He'll allow me to stay for a while."

"Oh, you went out of your way to tell me that."

"Ya, well!

Bitterly smiling at No. 1 scratching her head with a puffiness, Yurika and Sten look at each other.

Whatever they say they will do, they have no particular purpose.

But Sten's soul doesn't allow him to live every day that he doesn't do.

A black sphere appeared in the middle of the meadow, wondering if there had been a tremendous electric shock.

It spreads like a black hole, while running lightning by the way. Sten looked familiar in that hall, there.

"... gate?

"Oh, you're my brother. This!?

Just in front of Sten and Yulica.

Similar to the gate that Rex often uses, it expands to a size where Sten and the two of them are likely to fit in.

But I don't remember Sten running such a disastrous purple lightning bolt at Rex's gate.

"Is someone in there?

"... no"

"Am I?"

A pompous and squeaky denial of Sten's thought that it would belong to someone else if it were. If you look next door, look at Yurika staring at the gate with a flashing look.

"What do you mean, no?"

"Lex's gates don't usually run lightning like this... but remember when they come in the past, Sten..."

"... eh, is this the gate to Rex's pick up? Isn't it too soon?

"Hey, brother!? What the hell is going on!?

Panic number one. Ibuki also has a surprising look behind her. With noisy ripples also spreading among the fallen angels in the back, Sten puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

"If you're picking up the gate, I'll jump in. There's nothing else. Number one, Ocan, Tales. Evil, but it's time for us to say goodbye."

"What!?

"... right"

……

Raising his hand against them, who showed the Trinity's reaction, Sten tries to step into that gate, the girl who stops that arm.

"Wait. Weird. If Rex activated the gate at a time like this, I'm sure there was something over there.... I'm coming with you. If we go into pieces and there's a time difference or something, we're not going to fall apart."

"... right. All right...... bye guys!!

"Ah, brother!!

Seriously to release and Yuleeka holding Sten's hand.

So, one of those sad expressions comes to my attention somewhere.

Not really. Not much goodbye.

Sten lifts up his mouth angle, and turns his gaze to No. 1, Ibuki, and Tales.

"It's time for some ghosts to look at me.... Okan, seriously, watch out for the magic guide. Maybe one day someone will use something from the brainwashing system to hit the mountains."

"... aye. I'll see you anyway."

"Tullies, you need to work out. I'll see you sometime."

……

"Number one.... you, too."

"Brother y......!!

Talise and Ibuki nodded at the words of Sten.

Apart from the two, No. 1 mumbled back to Sten with a look like he was ready.

"Brother... I don't think this is a lifetime goodbye... come on, there's something I didn't tell you"

"What a sudden"

"No, that's what I'm saying here... here's the thing, one permission. Something like this, if you please."

"So what?"

To the nearest one, Sten tilts his neck. If the gate closes, it's Grandpa.

Thinking about it, it's a waste of a moment. It was to the left that the strength of Yurika, who holds Sten's right hand, was stronger.

but word number one went its diagonal.

"My brother... he's always been so cool! You think Oyla wants to cross such a cuckoo brother someday!!... oila... oila... Actually, my real name is the same as my brother."

"Huh."

"But a sten - the name means a drunken bastard... Oyla doesn't really like the name... he named it number one. I heard your brother's name was Sten...... Oyla, I knew you wanted to name him. The most powerful demonic ghost, Sten... Ouilla Hao Ghost Clan (Hi Oga), but I admired my brother's back. That's why Oyla wants to be a sten!

"... heh"

Sten laughed and thumbed, not saying anything.

"It's not okay! There's no reason to complain about your name! I'm counting on you, Mr. Sten!!

"Yikes!!

Once again, Sten nodded in the mood.

"Then let's go, Yurica!

That smile. That smile, too untrained, made Yurika's chest ache.

Because I loved it.

Because the feelings I liked couldn't contain any more.

And

Because when I got back to the future, I realized I couldn't be with you anymore.

So, so, Yurica...

"Guys, uh, the..."

"Yurica!? Hey, we gotta hurry!

"... Huh!

Sten reached out unexpectedly. Because I didn't think I'd make it unless I was forced to pull in if I stayed like this anymore. That's how I grabbed her hand.

And as it was, with Yurica, he jumped into the gate.

... should have.

"... Oh, my God...!

"Uh..."

To the sight in front of me, No. 1 was utterly silent.

The only gate that would have been left to return to in the past. It converged, making no more bursting electric light or even the sound of electricity storage, just in the field. Sten had been held to the ground by Yurika. That, too, is like a child clinging to the trunk.

The defeated Sten looks up at the sky as it is.

He seemed to realize that the gate to return to the future was gone.

"... uh... brother...?

I can't wait to be around you.

That's how it stayed right after the air of parting. More importantly, I didn't know why Yurika acted.

"... None"

"Oh... the..."

Even in such an atmosphere, Sten speaks in the usual tone, without looking particularly angry or, conversely, cold. That was rather indulgent, Yurika raised the face she was burying in Sten's chest. The look was stained bright red, and it's going to cry now.

"... because... when I get back to the future... Sten will be gone... because... I don't like it... but I knew it... on my own..."

Pompous, the drops tell her cheeks.

Was it the limit, since I wiped my own eyes with that hand I was holding around my waist.

Such Yulica tricks and words.

Even if it was an interruption, the feeling of seriousness came through.

But Sten is baffled. I frowned a little bit, and I followed her.

"Uh no... well, yeah. I have the feeling that it smelled like that. I mean, we were talking about leaving originally. But why are you doing that again?"

"Sten."

"- Am I?"

"I told you, I did."

Just now.

What the hell was that earlier, when?

When you broke up with Shanor or when Tales finally got to speak up?

Or...

and before Sten opened his mouth, its mouth blocked.

"Huh?"

"...... eh.... I'm sorry, Sten. I... love you."

……………… ........................ ahh "

Suddenly, her upbeat face approached. Closed eyes. I already understood everything when I saw my long eyelashes up close. That's what I knew so thinly. There's so much going on after they even say, "I might like it". He said he didn't help her once or twice. I know, and it should be noted that when I actually see it in front of me, the words don't come out well.

Thoughts to explore.

Already, the way back to the sky I looked up is after it disappeared. Whatever happens, you can't go to the future anymore. That's it, unless you catch Rex Salielgate in this world.

There's not much more I can do to myself right now than not come up with an answer for a future I haven't finalized. Understand that somewhere in a way that gives up, and Sten is.

"... Seriously?

Still, confusion stood first.

The cheeks that cheered me up and Yurika snorted with her moist eyes pushed me with no certainty.

Suddenly there, a laugh that sounds soaring.

"Haha!! This guy is good!! Sten! If you're my son, it's time to show him the right man!!

"Seriously, Okan."

"Ya, you're congratulating me on something. That's all there is to it... it's a little embarrassing after you expose it."

"Don't slap your hand, number one."

If you stay in a fallen position and circle around with just your gaze, you can stand still.

This is no longer possible, no matter how you scratch it, and there is one thing that depends on the back of Sten's brain.

Anyway, we can't go back to the future.

Then I wonder where the reason for turning down such a cute girl's offer is.

No, of course. It's subtle when it comes to whether you have romantic feelings here.

I don't even know if it's inferiority or admiration that I was feeling for each and every one of her tricks.

But it's also true that I thought she was either "cute" or "preferred".

"Through one big mountain yard..."

"Huh...?

I've been waiting for the answer now or now for Yurika's ear, and I can start to pound and spin the words of Sten. I couldn't help but raise my confused voice at that cut without any context.

But also without Yurika's proper face at all willingly, Sten continues his words.

"My people who have fought with me all my life, defending what I can't give away, tell me that."

"Ah..."

Pousu, and a big hand that touched Yurika's back of the head.

That's powerful, burying her face in Sten's chest.

"- That's pretty good too, he's a good guy. It's not romantic."

If you couldn't help but look up, what was there was Sten's uncontrolled smile.

Yurika's chest rattled at the look on her face, which she couldn't even get out yet.

"Bye."

"Wow! When you do, figure out a way to overcome your weaknesses!

"What?"

I just thought I could get a social response.

Just what I was hoping for, even if it happens to that statement that doesn't make sense, Yurika can only float a question mark. But Sten turned to Yulica, as is natural.

"Journey with me, right? Ever since."

".................. yeah!

"Say it. It's a little titty, but keep it up, Yurika!

"Eh heh!! Shooten."

"Ooh."

Hold on to the muckled up sten.

"... if you hit it, well, that's it"

……

With his shoulder held over him, Sten looked up and looked around.

"Come this far, a man will be obsolete!! Look, Temee et al!!

"Oh?"

"What do you want?

Starting with Ibuki and No. 1, Sten further captures the attention of the fallen angel faces and the Tales. Without understanding what the act would mean, Yurika stared at Sten.

As it was, when I noticed the hand attached to my jaw, I was unable to breathe.

"Hmmm!?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

"That's what bro!!

"Ha ha, if you're my son, that's how much you have to do. That!!

"... ahhh... hey... shte..."

"Ma... that, that. That's what I'm going to do."

I couldn't cut off my free lips, but I was more embarrassed than that.

Bright red in the face, without being able to hold onto another of the biggest emotions.

"Sten...... love it!

He said, "I know!

Thoughtfully, I smiled and hugged it to my neck.

What is about to begin is neither the redoing of the past nor spinning the future.

It could be totally pointless, just a waste of time.

Still, it doesn't matter.

Yurika thought so, and Sten laughed and forgave me.

So now, let's get started.

Time has nothing to do with it. Just two stories.

Yurica's heart clears.

That's what I thought I'd be able to go under the blue sky if I stayed like this.

From now on, like a blue cloud enjoying the moment.

"We'll be together for a long time."
