Right in front of me, a rat in clothes and a snake in ornaments are staring at each other.

It's like you're better off blind.

With such tension created, Aruba and Clay were confronting each other staring at each other.

Mouse sage Alba Germain has a face that shows no emotions, and Snake Clay looks at each other silently for a while, laughing with a nymphomaniac for fun.

The first thing that distracted me was Aruba.

"I'm sorry I'm late. It's not a dragon. It's taken me a long time to sense your presence."

With that said, Aruba gently jumped off the rock he'd been standing on and came to my feet.

"Aoi and my brother are very worried about you. Oh, don't worry. Those kids have arrived at King Dylan's grave without any trouble. Prince Atl will be in the middle of leading you to a safe place now. I'll have Aoi pick you up later."

"... ah, oh"

Acting as if there was no such thing as Clay, Aruba stood on my lap smiling.

"Now, to do that, I need to get back to Aoi and let him know where I am, because it's dangerous to leave you with this snake. Let's try to get rid of it."

Looking back, Aruba looking at Clay.

I found the voice slightly irritating.

It's not the usual floating alba.

I can't always afford it and see that annoying attitude that makes people look like little fools.

"Hmm."

Clay pulls that neck and observes me and Aruba.

That trick, like looking at the whole thing together, was as if it were a predator's sole attempt to capture prey.

"That's a lot cuter. It's unusual. I'm not interested in anything other than dragons. I can't believe you're trying to protect something weak."

I knew Clay was laughing.

As always, I have no idea what's funny.

I just feel uncomfortable and disgusted.

"Would you stop saying that like you know me? Very unpleasant. Extremely."

"I know. Even if I knew. Instead, there's no way there can be anyone who understands you but me, right?

That's what Clay said and started circling around us.

Couscous and, no, the black snake moves with Uneune, honking his throat with the shirshirshire.

"Hey? My brother."

"To?"

I was the one who reacted to that word.

My brother?

"... Will you stop? I've never thought of you as my sister. We were born in the same place, right?

Aruba jumps off my knees and starts circling around me as Clay moves.

After all, it's not his usual attitude.

The snake in front of me all the time, I'm on alert for Clay.

Are these two really my sisters and brothers? You have such an evil sister and brother?

Me and Shohei are better friends, so I can't imagine.

I mean, first of all, he's the sister brother of a rat and a snake.

What happens when the snake's brother becomes a rat?

"Really? I think of you as my brother. Badly done, badly behaved brother. You were hanging out with a bad woman, trying to kill your real sister, right?

"Stop."

Aruba put up a cane.

Turn to Clay and stare hatefully at him.

The voices emitted are heavy and do not contain any light nori from the usual alba.

"Don't you talk about Seraphi. Again, shall we destroy him completely this time?

Who's Seraphi?

Just give me a minute.

I really can't keep up anymore.

There were so many things I didn't understand earlier that I didn't have time to calm down.

"Are you still untrained by that root-darkness woman? It's a long way off. What made you do that? Oh, even though I hurt you, Todome looks like you stabbed him. Well, hating me is the difference between your gates. Speaking of which, it's bad that she sold me a fight."

"I'll put it well. Which mouth can say that? If Serafi hadn't risked his life to stop you, there wouldn't have been life in this world right now. I never thought I'd see you after all this time. [M] I can't believe you were alive. You look so worn out that you couldn't even keep your shape if you hadn't stuck it in your little life, too. What a bad chest shit, but they seemed to follow a similar history to each other"

"Oh, you look like this? It would look good on you, wouldn't it? Actually, I like it. I watched you borrow the flesh of a dying rat. There can't be anything you can and I can't do. Besides, she tore her body apart."

"You deserve it, don't you? It's too light a punishment compared to what you've done. I'm honestly surprised you've lived all these years without me noticing. If you were obstinate and insistent, well, I guess you could have done it. I should have searched for your presence."

"Ha, that being said, I had a hard time. I haven't found any way to regain my original power. Well, from what I've seen, that seems to be the same for you. That's why I've lived to this day."

"Now, what have you ever deceived, and who have you brought to life ugly and forever? If you're referring to me as your brother, why don't you tell me, sister?

"Hehe, what do you think? I'm not the one who imitates you by exposing yourself. My stupid brother is still after my life."

"Naturally. If it's true, I want to kill you right now. It's just me and Seraphi who can destroy you completely, immortal."

"Don't tell me what I can't do."

"There's nothing you can't do. Hopefully you'll deal with him for a month or so. But you're running, aren't you?

"Oh, even if I run away. I don't want to die either. There's still work to be done."

"You think I'll allow that?

Aruba and Clay reward each other for their words in a manner that makes them feel like they are eating each other's words and getting fit.

Clay turns his neck all the way to Aruba, and Aruba turns the tip of the wand to Clay, never turning a blind eye.

Wait. Really wait.

Somebody give me a little explanation.

Whatever you want, just tell me what I know!

"The kid. Who is it?"

Clay looks at me sideways.

"When I interfered with the metastatic formula, I set it to fly right to me. But this lad disappeared from the subspace once and moved to a place beyond my senses. Impossible. There's no way you can lose sight of what my eyes caught once. Just one place, except that place, the spring."

"... what are you talking about?

I get it.

I don't know what a fool I am.

Aruba has teased something now.

I worked to make sure Clay didn't understand what he was never supposed to know.

So is that place I was just in, that Clay shouldn't know about?

Mother, no, where those white girls and the two fairies were.

A milky white sky and a run-down stone stage in a deep green forest.

In that place, there's something Aruba tries to hide.

There's someone you have to hide, okay?

Then I won't say anything.

If I make a fool of myself about that place, I won't be able to take it back.

Really nothing, but so intuitive.

I keep my mouth shut.

Because if you don't say a word, there's zero chance that the information they want will pass to them.

"And... when you try to hide it. Well, I almost know that already."

Clay narrows both of those eyes once and laughs again in a nitwit.

"Sanctuary"

It was Aruba who reacted to that word.

Shake your shoulders once and shake the toe of your wand.

"Where that abominable white woman died. I guess that's what the former Protected Forest used to be called now, huh? There must have been that woman's direct dragon, that place that should have vanished 42 years ago when the world and the world collided. But it is strange that the Spirit is still alive after the land has disappeared. I never thought it was hidden somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Even if you have my eyes that see everything... I mean, it doesn't exist in this world, it's in another dimension."

Clay's eye red shines a stronger light at me.

"But then there can't be anyone who can get there. Then why did the kid get there? What the hell is in that kid? What did the multiple sealing ceremonies applied to that heart seal? I want to know. Yeah, I'd like to know. My brother, my half born of the same 'mud'. Now I call myself Alba Germain, a foolish 'beginner'."

Clay's voice color changes.

The voice, which was feminine, turns into something heavy and sharp enough to echo into the cerebral cord.

My body began to tremble.

Scary.

I can't wait to be horrified.

It can't be good to be here.

Everything about that thin, long body is ugly, tough, and ominous.

Those who are there to make everyone involved unhappy, that's Clay Ende in front of you.

This snake will surely do all of the evil of the world with a nostril.

I don't know why you think that.

But this goosebump running all over my body is telling me that.

I want to run.

But it still doesn't work.

"So I would be telling you to stop the magic of that mental contamination. … one thing I'd like to ask you, too"

When Aruba uttered the word, the fear surrounding my body disappeared.

Oh, my God, really!

What the hell was I doing with mental contamination?

I don't want it anymore!

Let me see Jaja and Nana!

"What?

There's no way you're gonna get my heart screaming, and Clay laughs at me again.

"Forty-two years ago, that day the world collided with the world. Eight or three demons and beasts who began it. The incident they raided on the sanctuary and that sorcery ritual that created the 'extinguishing fire' on too large a scale...... are you involved in this?

On the sceptre of Aruba, a pale light is lit.

Its light grows stronger and louder as it makes a painful sound in the ear that resembles a gold-cut sound.

"Answer me. You planned that raid and used the lives of thousands of beasts and demons to do that sorcery, didn't you? I never thought the world would collide again after a long time, even for you, but you did that to kill Hildegarda, protected by the sanctuary, didn't you?

Aruba asks Clay with a Rin voice.

The voice was strong, and reliable, and above all reassuring.

"... what do you think? Well, maybe it was me, but what's wrong with that? Dragons are pure enemies to me. If being in the sanctuary is the direct line of that white woman, then there's enough rotten reason to kill her. There's a simple question as to why dragons have been born besides that woman, but I won't allow dragons to exist, and I will continue to hate them."

Keeping grinning, Clay tells.

"Once, I told you. I have to forgive those who hurt Seraphi. And all the dragons that live now are the children of Serafi. I will not forgive anyone who threatens them."

"Heh?"

Clay sounds like he enjoys hearing Aruba's voice.

The red jewel on his forehead shines just like Alba's wand.

"So, what are you gonna do with me?

"Well, that's settled, right?

We smiled thinly at each other, and at the same time a strong light shone from the scepter set up by Aruba.

"Whew!"

In front of me, there was a huge explosion.

This is followed by a blast that's about to blow my body away.

Vibrations shake the ground and nauseate the repeatedly glowing light around.

At some point there was no Aruba that was supposed to be at my feet.

The brightness of light awakens all over my sight, and extends up to the sky and behind me.

Aruba and Clay are fighting in a way that makes sense.

That's what I intuited.

I nod to the ground, hold my head and defend myself.

"Stop it! Please don't do this anymore! What the hell, really!

No matter how much you scream, that voice is cancelled by the explosion.

"Give me a break! Somebody explain it to me properly!

Aruba and Clay kept fighting for the time I don't think it would end in a permanent robbery.

Overlapping explosion sound.

Violent light pushing through to the back of a closed lid.

Strong wind and vibration shaking my body firmly on the ground to the right and to the left.

The brightness of such ferocious light that it determines the ground, devours space and extinguishes the darkness of night.

Eating just one shot of this light will probably wipe me out without a trace.

So much power, so much battle.

This is something a weak creature like me shouldn't be involved in.

That rat and snake's hand and thoughts just go a little crazy, and my presence will disappear quickly like an idiot.

The wilderness at night is transformed into an outdoor battlefield in an instant, where I have a flighty life if I blow it.

I want to go home.

I want to go home and be sweetened by Aoi.

I want to take full care of Jaja and Nana and laugh at Rouge's enviable gaze.

Angered by a shuddered Shohei, he welcomes his returning father, we all want to eat dinner, hold Aoi in his chest to breastfeed before bed, add the weight of Jaja and Nana, and sleep fine as he feels happy.

I don't want to hear things that don't make sense in places like this!

I don't want to die without understanding one thing!

Let me go home!

Me!

To our house!

My family's waiting. Um, in a warm house!

"Ugh, wow, wow, wow, wow!

Let me go home!

Aoi!
