Six.

The world you will visit every time you sleep.

The last few days, as promised, I was leading the school to Salvia.

From her total lack of knowledge, she has as much to talk about as she wants.

While I was answering her questions full of interest, time ran out.

"I guess this has roughly turned around"

I just came back to class, and I tell her I lined up my shoulders.

"I hope you enjoy it."

"Hehe. That, of course. It was funny how novel things were."

That said, Salvia walked over to the back of the classroom.

I took my seat in the classroom.

When I sat down in the chair and looked, Salvia turned around in front of the blackboard at the back of the classroom, turning this way.

The dark golden brown hair that I put together flutters and shakes and falls on my chest.

There was a gentle smile.

"Thank you, sir. Give me a guide."

"You're welcome."

I smiled back, too.

"Welcome, thank you"

It could have been a weird story to thank you for giving me guidance.

But these were words from the bottom of my heart.

"You hang out with me... thanks for the help"

Yes. She's helping me.

That's the proof - even while we were talking, the classroom landscape was' shaken '.

……

- All of the scenery is covered with unbroken cracks.

- Everything is going to shatter and collapse.

Break. Break. It breaks.

It is not an illusion.

Rather, this is what the truth is about this world.

So I bite my back teeth.

Now I can't help but connect things that are going to crumble apart.

Undo even just on the surface.

Not yet.

This is the only place we have to stay alive.

To counter Kojiro Nakatsuki, needless to say, this world continues to lurk.

If it was meant to be, it's been a long time since I've entered an area that's still too early for me.

As a result, "Takahiro Mashima" breaks.

Even now.

The condition was already terminal.

Outside the classroom door, there's nothing more.

I don't see it. There isn't.

Outside the window, only a thin cold nothingness spreads.

There's nothing left in the world but this classroom.

I don't remember anything else anymore.

I lost everything.

Naturally, there can't be any mental impact in this situation.

Then there's a moment when you don't know who you are, and you're relieved.

A severed personality at the root is losing continuity.

I was ready, but I was going crazy.

If we could still get some sleep, we could have forgotten our fears.

But you're not allowed to lose consciousness, and now you can't even do that.

If I were alone, I could really have done something about it.

Salvia stayed with me so I could distract her.

Besides... even if I forget, Salvia will remember the world I guided.

It was comforting and salvation to be thought of that way.

Thanks to you, it was enjoyed to this day.

I'm afraid I'll lose myself.

I'm scared, scared, I can't stand it.

But I'm fine.

He said it was okay...

But those times were up to today, too.

"Sir."

Salvia watched this one from behind the classroom with a quiet smile.

The sight reminded me of some sort of school event.

While I was a little embarrassed that I had made that idea, I asked.

"What?"

"Really, I've had fun the last few days. I'm kind of sorry that we're the only ones who monopolize it. Hey, Asalina?

"Sarma!"

Let Asalina smile, who rang well, and then she turned this way again.

"Now we're all in this together."

"... oh. Right."

Of course, she knows how I am.

I know, and you're doing what I want.

It's more of a distraction than a sad face.

Though, that's about over.

"Sorry, I made you sweet"

"It's okay."

In these places, Salvia is' the elderly '.

In years that people can't imagine, she has continued to expose the world, standing slightly different from the rest of her family, watching over us.

"I will protect your husband."

The gentle grin is unshakable.

I would appreciate it.

And I'm sorry.

Absolutely all survive.

I will not destroy the world.

While I feel so strongly, my sober part is thinking about 'In Case'.

There's no way I can stay without thinking about it.

At that time...

"Oh. I'll protect you all, too."

That's how I woke up.

I woke up and the first thing I felt was chills.

I don't feel well.

It's like a muddy meat bag.

The price of being kept connected to the deepest part of the world you should not touch.

The condition is definitely getting worse.

The real world, which cannot escape physical modulation, is also tough with this.

Most importantly, there are no problems at all as a health condition, so if you ignore the fact that you feel the worst, you will not interfere with your activities.

I can fight without problems.

With everyone, to protect everyone.

Fine.

There's nothing wrong with that.

"... hmm?

So I felt signs in the room.

Most importantly, this was natural.

As it stands, it's over when I'm connected to the world.

Someone is always there to escort me when I'm asleep, just to be on guard.

"Lily?"

When I woke up, there was a girl sitting on the edge of the bed.

She was the only one in the room.

Her side pointed this way, and her gaze didn't match.

I'm hanging out and shaking my legs.

"What's wrong?

Something went wrong.

I thought you were sick, but as of yesterday, the wound should have healed.

In fact, Lily shook her head sideways.

"Yeah. It's not like anything happened."

"If so..."

"Haha. Kind of. I thought we'd come a long way."

Say it somewhere blurry.

Sure, it's a long way from the depths of the tree sea where I met her to here in Imperial City.

But I knew right away that I wasn't just talking about those distances.

"I remember when we just met. Remember?"

"Of course not. I'll never forget it."

"It was tough. I was weak, too. I did everything I could to protect your husband."

"I had no power to fight properly."

"Yeah."

Lily laughed as she missed it.

"But if you think about it now, that's all I'm good for."

"... Lily?

Lily finally turned her face toward me when I raised a question in a speech she could not take intent on.

My big eyes were moist.

"Your husband is stronger, isn't he?"

"Lily, you..."

"Very, very strong"

Tears spilled out of my pompous eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not going to put you in trouble. Just..."

Like looking for words, my lips were nagging.

"I'm sorry."

"... no"

When I got out of my bedroom and dropped my hips next to her apologizing crying, I hugged that body.

"This way, I'm sorry"

... I'm sure she realizes.

No. Everyone else, too.

They are aware.

You can't be unaware.

I can't help thinking about 'In Case'.

What do you think I should do when I really can't do anything anymore...

Takahiro Mashima is about to break.

I'm at the limit.

But this simply does not mean that we are weak.

Rather in terms of ability, I can say that it has never been sharpened before.

Because I am being dragged deeper and deeper as a result of my manoeuvres with Kojiro Nakatsuki.

Without letting go of his hand while drowning unnecessarily with the bump, the rest of the man is reaching a depth that no one else has ever been able to reach before.

As a connector, we should have gone up two or three steps in the last five days, which was about to take decades to ascend.

Most of all, the realm of the opposing King of Disasters is many more steps high.

I have to go up the stairs more to fight it.

Maybe that shouldn't be impossible in itself.

Even though the approach is different, you must be the same type of ability as the King of Disasters.

This ability has further ahead.

Except whether it is possible or not and whether it can be achieved.

Anyway, it's too much of a limit at the moment.

In order to reach more than this, we need to go beyond the limits of being able to keep ourselves.

Only then will I lose myself.

That's how it all ends up being a phenomenon that just protects us all.

... Of course, I'm not going to take that option lightly.

Because I want to live with everyone.

But if I really can't do anything about it... I won't hesitate.

"I'm sorry, Lily"

I love the temperature I held in my arms.

I wish I could protect everyone.

Ever since I had no power whatsoever.

I hoped I didn't want to take one back.

So if total annihilation is a must, and you can counteract it by destroying one of yourself, you won't get lost.

Because I know that, Lily is crying.

I wish I had no such means.

Regardless, without a last resort, it would simply be the end of total annihilation... this kind of thing wouldn't make sense.

Even I would think the same thing if I were in the opposite position.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's hard being your husband."

"Don't worry about that"

Hold her in tears.

"I'll be fine."

No matter how hard it is or how horrible it is.

You should dress up as much as you do in front of your crying lover.

You'll have to thank Salvia for making me sweet in that world.

Because this is how I can chew my fright to death and speak to Lily.

"I'm fine. We're all set. I don't get hit that easily."

"Your husband..."

Could it have been any consolation?

On the arm that was turned on his back, force was applied.

"... right"

Lily raised the face she was pushing against my chest.

I'm not no longer anxious.

But the power to face it seemed to be back.

"We will protect your husband."

"... I'll be protected in the end."

Spilling a bitter smile, Lily finally laughed small at me, too.

Then we held each other for a while.

The last day, we tried to spare time until the battle and felt each other's presence.

We returned from the other world, five days later.

Time passed pale.

The anomalies that have struck the Imperial capital here these days are too great.

You will be anxious to see if the same today as yesterday and the same tomorrow will continue.

But still, you're not supposed to think that tomorrow might not come.

If you think about it, you can't stay calm.

"Master Mashima. Are you sure Kojiro Nakatsuki will attack you?"

In the corner of the cathedral, as the faces that were the Lord looked at each other, it was also impossible for Ella to ask anxiously.

It is also a strange story that we await the arrival of enemies with desperate power, but in fact, if they do not attack us, the world will continue to fall into the hands of the 'King of Disasters'.

Don't panic because you know that.

"Coming."

I answered briefly.

With five days, there was plenty of time just to work out the operation.

I'm also getting ready.

The battle has already begun.

If you poorly turn right and left here and leave the platform unprepared, even a small winning chance fire will be extinguished.

So wait.

Next to me, Lily also looked sober.

"If that's what Mashima said..."

Looking at us not upset at all, Ella seemed to feel a little easier.

A smile returned when I gave Lily a thankful eyelid.

"Reporting!

That's when a knight jumped into the room.

The air tightens immediately.

"Hih, there's something strange about the east sky!

The battle has finally begun.

"'Castle' is... 'Castle' is flying!
