Lead the other world.

8-52 Noah = Meeriel

Stepping inside the white tower, the entrance behind Takumi and Sola closed and entered the tower where the white space continued wherever they turned, except for the large hole that was vacant in the ceiling.

Takumi had felt as if she was standing in the air under the illusion.

Takumi, when I came to this world, it was a feeling I felt in a place called "The Land of the Long Age".

(Don't remind me long...)

After Takumi was surprised for a moment, looking around in nostalgia, he found the girl sitting a long way from the front of Takumi and looking at herself.

White long-haired girl in clothes, featuring beast ears and tails as bright as snow.

But Takumi and the others knew something different about it.

"Noah = Meeriel" in Takumi Tata's sight is shorter than the "Noah" they both know.

And the two of them approached her, wondering if 'Noah = Meeriel' was the young figure of 'Noah'.

"Noah...... is that it?

As Takumi approached her, the girl slowly looked up at Takumi, who was surprised and slightly deflected.

Because, unlike Noah with clear, beautiful water-colored eyes, the girl's eyes had no light and no expression.

Then the girl looked at Takumi and then nodded silently, slowly opening her mouth.

"Who are your brothers?

Takumi opened her mouth, feeling that the girl standing in front of her at the inquiry was not like Noah they knew.

"I'm Takumi Kiryu, the adventurer, and this is my buddy Sola."

When Sola, standing next to Takumi, bowed small, she opened her mouth to see if she had any idea about the girl in front of her.

"You... could you have been trapped inside this tower forever?

To Sola's inquiry, as the girl nodded silently, this time the girl opened her mouth as she pointed far away and pointed to the ceiling with the big hole empty.

"Did your brothers do that?

"No, maybe not."

"Really..."

When the girl lay her eyes and ears down and squealed so, she asked without giving them a look as it were.

"Do your brothers know a blonde monster with red eyes?

……

The two questioned remained silent, not answering the query.

It was because I felt from the girl in front of me intense hatred and anger, all kinds of negative emotions such as sadness and the unhidden intention to kill.

The two of them knew well with their own self that one day they would destroy themselves, even if they acted with negative emotions and with desire.

And the girl looked up and glanced at Takumi to see if the two remained silent.

"You know."

……

To Takumi, who answered nothing but staring back, the paralyzed girl snapped her teeth, clutching Takumi's hips and slapping her small hand.

"Why aren't you answering? Is your brother one of those monsters? Hey, hey! Answer me!

Sora looked a little sorry, staring at the girl screaming in tears, but Takumi, being slapped, lowered her back with a serious look on her face to match the girl's gaze.

"No, I'm not."

"... then tell me where that monster is. I won't forgive you, my mom, my dad and... my sister... I will never forgive you! I'll kill you, I'll definitely kill you!

But Takumi opened her mouth as she stared firmly into the girl's eyes, even as she fronted the girl screaming so with murderous and hateful eyes.

"No."

"Why?"

"I can't let you kill your people."

"So...!

"So -"

Still, without retreating, he responded, now staring back into the eyes of the girl with a regrettable look on her face.

- I'll take your revenge instead.

"Huh?"

"Disgruntled?

"I don't... Why?"

When the girl asks Takumi that as she clogs her words, Takumi answers with a closed eye and a gentle look on her face.

"The wish of my people is my wish, too. Besides, I want you to look good when you see Sino again."

"Huh!? My sister... Is Sino alive?

Takumi nodded and replied to the girl's words, who asked so in amazement and open her eyes.

"Oh, my dear fellow. So... I won't tell you to get back on your feet right away. Live and show him how well you are. Noah."

"Ugh... ahhh... good, good. Si...... no"

The words of Takumi were finally overflowing with emotion and began to bring a whimper in tears from Noah's eyes, and Takumi softly embraced Noah and rubbed her back.

"Sometimes I still don't think I can take anything out of it. Just take your time, and take Noah's life on your behalf now."

"… strive, do"

And when Noah stopped crying after a while, he stared into Takumi's eyes.

Unlike the beginning, the light returned to Noah's eyes, with the same eyes as Noah, known by the gentle regular Takumi.

"Thanks, Takumi..."

"I care."

Takumi couldn't answer until the end.

A little something soft and a little warm touched the cheeks, and Takumi became too stiff for surprise.

Then her lips moved away from Takumi's cheek, and Noah, one step behind her, smiled lightly as she touched her forehead.

"Really full...... thanks. I'll try my best."

The moment Noah said the word, a crack entered the wall of the white tower where Noah was trapped, crushing scattered and white shining pieces poured down.

Then, while Takumi was stiff, Takumi and Sola's vision stained white as it was.
