"................................................................!!?

Suddenly Shilo's body, which was laid on a rubble-mixed rough ground, jumped bikun and pinned his ears and tail wondering if he'd gotten up well, and began to look around in a hurry.

"... Shiro? Did you wake up? Are you okay!?"

Kagura Mai noticed how Shiro was doing and called out as she held Michal Aruno unconscious.

"My! It's tough!! Atsushi is badly hurt right now!! You're bleeding!!!

"Serizawa-kun?

Shiro clings to Kagura's chest in a confused manner, about to complain about something as the child cries out. Kagura seemed to have guessed the meaning of it, but made a difficult face as soon as possible.

"Quick! We have to hurry up or Atsushi...!!!

"Ok......!! But now I...!!

Now Kagura was turning to treat the dying wounded without rest.

Few of the students were able to move even though they had saved their lives. The overwhelming destruction that seems to destroy one of those cities. Rather, it was a situation that could only be described as lucky that no one could possibly have had a dead person.

"Sorry, there are still some seriously injured......!! NOW......!!

In the impact of the explosion, a few metres thick soil and ice bulkhead (shelter) created by the glacier and earthwork was smashed whole, and it remained a huge fragment and hit the students.

Fortunately, the direct hit escaped because everyone was evacuated in the space of Darkness (Shadow) in Kurosaki, but then the storm of the falling hotline continued. With the ability of the glacier to keep cooling down the space and manage to outrun it, the waves of shock and scorch subsided, and when they finally got out of the space with their thoughts, they were all on the verge of burning to death.

Akai and Kagura, who had managed to reduce the damage, helped everyone around, and finally a few recovered to the point where they could talk and move around. While in that state, instructor Satsuki Mishima and several other possible fighters left to stop the resurrected herd of aliens.

But some have not yet regained consciousness. I have to keep on treating myself here.

"Then you can't...!! If you don't go right away, Atsushi...!!

But Atsushi Serizawa also said he was seriously wounded dying. As Kagura Mai wonders what she should do, Melia Kurono, who rushes over to hear the story, speaks to them.

"Serizawa-kun is alive...? Let's go, Mr. Kagura. As soon as the treatment of the seriously injured is complete. Shiro, so..."

"No!!! Then you won't make it!!!

I was aware of animal instincts or the strangeness of Serizawa Atsushi.

When he was in Atsushi's "inside," Shiro felt his consciousness gradually faint and cold. That's the feeling Ciro knows.

Siro knew exactly what it felt like to lose the same temperature on a cold winter evening when friendly birds and kethings that used to 'talk' in the mountains. The next morning I felt that in my heart, when I went to see that fellow, it was bound to get cold and I was no longer moving. And the fellow never moved again.

I already know what humans call that. "Death." Atsushi dies. Atsushi is no longer long. "Fire" is dying to live. Shilo was definitely feeling it.

"See you soon!! If we don't get there soon, we won't make it......!!

Shiro was in a hurry. And no one taught me, and I knew by feeling what I could do.

In other words, I had perceived what would happen by capturing images of other people's incompetence into me. Imitate what you see, so that you can imitate it in the same way... you can do that in this strange power. Ciro thought so.

"Bye, Mai. I will borrow your Lord's help."

"... Huh?

At that moment, Kagura felt something coming into her head.

"... Shiro?

Peek into the depths of your mind and 'remember (...)' the source of your power to bring it back. That way... I can use the power of others myself. I knew Shiro could do that. And now I've executed it.

"No way, Shilo......!? Wait! That's not...!!

Meliá tries to stop it when she realizes Siro's intentions.

"If you do that, you...!!!

But the voice of stopping it was slow. Too late. That was too accommodating for Shilo, and the act was over in an instant.

"Atsushi is coming to help!!

He did not listen to Meliá's voice, and Shilo disappeared hooked, wondering if he had rushed out as he was.

◇ ◇ ◇

Shiro was desperate to think as he ran through the ground with burning rotten smoke standing in a person's face.

I have to get to Atsushi soon. Atsushi's temperature is already disappearing. I can't make it as it is. So we have to hurry.

For that matter, you can't just leave these two legs.

You have to look sicker.

to the shape I feel fastest.

But what's that?

The appearance of the four legs of the original fox......?

No, that doesn't change that much.

boar......? That's different, too.

Yes, a bird.

"Falcon". The fastest man in his mountain. That's fast. At that moment I thought, Shiro changes his appearance, wings, and accelerates.

At a speed not comparable to when he was running on two legs, he flies between the trees that raise the burning smoke, like sewing.

But Shiro thinks.

Sure this is fast. Much faster.

But this is still too late. Not at all. Atsushi's "Fire" is about to go out. In a few moments, it will disappear. I can't make it with anything like this.

- Faster. More, much faster. Otherwise, I can't help Atsushi very much. Shiro thought with two unfamiliar wings, full of strength, and desperately with wings.

... Yes, that one.

Big, fast stuff, with four legs you're used to using.

One day at Atsushi's house, I watched it on a board called 'Tablet', a big cat-like creature.

I like that one. That would be faster.

Because in that moving picture (...), I was running sicker than the wind.

Ciro, who thought so, instantly turns into a pure white beast and steps to the ground with all his strength with four legs (...).

At that moment, with the impact, Siro's body accelerated greatly and he could see his vision flowing.

This is it. This is faster. Now let's move on.

Shiro has now become a fictional creature that tramples and runs on grinding the burnt earth several times faster than a falcon… 'White Tiger'.

Shilo, transformed into a fantasy creature, builds momentum and runs desperately. Gradually, I saw a lot of monsters shaped like people. They try to find Shiro and attack him, but they can't wait. Hurry. We have to get to Atsushi soon.

At its heart, Shilo rushes through the burnt earth, which was a forest until just now, as he knocks down the disturbing 'aliens' like a gust of wind.

But Shiro thinks as he runs with a big body.

... Not yet. It's too late. I can't do this. I got very sick, but I can't make it with something like this.

Faster. Sharper. Otherwise it's too late. I can't make it.

Those are the ones that got in the way. The anomalous. Scorched trees. We have to keep it straight and get to Atsushi faster than anything.

So Ciro imagined something that would go straight, without the need to avoid enemies.

Whatever.

What I saw on a board called that TV. What they taught me at Atsushi's house.

Anyway, something fast.

I don't have time to get lost. I gradually change my appearance and move on to the things I can think of.

In that way, gradually Siro even quit taking the form of an organism. The fox, who became a white arrow, a bullet spraying a single fire, and even felt it slow, thinks.

No... I can't make it with something like this. Now, at this speed - by the time Atsushi's 'fire' goes out, we'll never make it.

I haven't even seen Atsushi yet...... and a brief moment to the point where my heart hits me a few times (Jikan).

So Atsushi's 'fire' goes out.

I can tell by the strength of the voice that it conveys from 'in my heart'. Finer, weaker. Even if Shilo continues to speak out desperately, he doesn't even have a slight mental movement anymore.

In this case, as it is......

- Atsushi and I will never see each other again.

I don't like that.

Absolutely not.

So we really need to get there.

Atsushi's 'fire' will run out just a little later, to the point of breathing one.

By then, we have to get there.

Whatever it is, I have to go see him.

Something you can get that far. Whatever. Whatever. I'll do whatever it takes.

That's... what?

Shilo sharpens his nerves and thinks.

- Yes, that's it.

Always glows in the sky before a terrible storm strikes, that.

Of the mountain of habitat, that bearded man puts it out. That light.

And just now, something that glowed and fell over there.

I like that one.

- That would be fast (...).

Ciro, who thought so, gradually changed his appearance to just a 'phenomenon (...)'.

(Quickly, even sushi, to Atsushi)

Thus, Shilo became just a glimmer of white lightning… piercing the herd of aliens in front of him.
