Chaos.

Chaos.

Fall.

Fall.

In the continuous fall, the world of Kazama is only left with the boundless chaos in front of him.

And, in the chaos, that still clear, cold face.

There was no life, and there was no death.

It seems that only eternity is the only theme here.

With that, overlapping, foggy.

It staggered and fell, as if it would never end.

Is it dead? Or alive?

Kazama doesn't know.

The only thing he knew was perhaps the truth he saw the moment before he was pushed down.

What does that mean exactly? The same stone tablet, the same prophecy.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it the guidance of fate...... Or is it just someone's mischief?

But for the time being, none of this matters.

After all, at this moment, there is no right to think about these things, right?

What about knowing, and what about understanding?

In such a state, both life and death.

At such a margin, where darkness and light are meaningless, any thinking seems useless......

Is this the process of death? Or, death itself?

Even if the end is hell, at least the end...... End this, endless falling!

So, it's like responding to Kazama's wish.

It's over.

The never-ending chaos.

And, the never-ending fall.

"Boom!"

"Whoop——!

The heavy sound of falling water is like a storm crashing on the shore.

What rolled up was not a thousand piles of snow, but a thousand heavy waves.

The huge waves quickly covered the turbulent ripples.

Together, the string of "gurgling" bubbles.

Kazama, who was caught off guard, was poured a few mouthfuls of water fiercely.

The salty bitterness is like the tea brewed by the most inferior Tieguanyin.

It's a pity that the orchid-like fragrance is missing.

Struggling desperately, Kazama tried to stabilize his body, but the impact of the fall and the turbulent torrent pulled him desperately in both directions like two brute bulls.

One pulled deeper and deeper, while the other pulled him towards an unknown front.

I tried to open my eyes, and while I was struggling, my arms were suddenly grasped.

Kazama looked back in surprise.

Then, I saw the long algae-like hair, and the smiling pale face.

Not the red-haired woman...... Rather, another.

Never seen before, stranger.

Although it can also be seen that it is a woman's face, but, unexpectedly, I don't want to put her in the same category.

A chill, inexplicably, came up, it was an instinctive reaction from a living being.

It seems that what appeared in front of Kazama was not a woman, but a shark.

So, grinning, the corners of the smiling mouth, in a strange arc, like a shark.

Even in the deep water, you can still clearly see the cold glow shining on the razor-like sharp teeth.

Momentarily distracted, Kazama raised his feathers, and he forgot to move.

And the woman, on the other hand, couldn't wait to open her mouth and devour Kazama's arm fiercely.

"Poof!"

"Twitter——!"

Blood, in an instant, drifted away.

With a scream, almost enough to puncture the eardrum.

Was, cut off, the pair, the miserable white claws that grabbed Kazama's feathers.

In a flash of silver light, Kazama was quickly dragged backwards.

The tongue that had just been spit out of the bloody mouth, like a snake-like fork, quickly retracted, and then, retreating.

Together, that twisted face full of resentment.

Everything happens in a flash of lightning, and then, just like a flash of lightning, it ends.

When everything recovered, there was only a cold pretty face in front of Kazama Shoha.

As if mocking, he stared at it.

The long fiery red hair is like silk, and his elegant posture is comparable to that of a shark playing in the water.

So, Kazama remembered the gift that the mermaid girl had given him.

"Po~"

Extremely disgusted, he threw away the pair of sharp claws that were still firmly clamped on his arms, and between the palms of his hands, a string of red beads quickly jumped out.

With a crisp popping sound.

The turbulent water, like children who have received candy, run away with joy and joy.

Leaving only a huge bubble, it appeared out of thin air around Kazama and wrapped the two of them in.

"It's ...... Shark tears? ”

Suspicious eyes, unkind eyes, but that cold pretty face, but still couldn't help but lean towards the string of red beads.

"Trust me, it's definitely not a stolen ......"

Pouting slightly, as if he understood what the other party was thinking, Kazama explained helplessly.

It's obviously something that someone else gave to you, but it's suspected because it's precious...... What a sad thing......

Of course, as far as the result is concerned, the doubts and unkindness are still gone, but in exchange, it is a strange expression.

Accompanied, quirky words.

"Hold me tight."

"Huh?"

I guess I misheard.

Or maybe I was hallucinating because I was frightened just now.

"I said, hold me tight!"

“……”

Kazama opened his mouth to say the second question.

However, it was already too late.

The body has subconsciously hugged each other.

If you don't hold it tightly, you'll be thrown off.

In this way, unreasonably, like a sneak attack, in front of a huge whirlpool that suddenly came.

Up and down, upside down in an instant.

With the left and right, it rotates rapidly.

Kazama raised his feathers, and he was no longer in the mood to ask, but subconsciously, he tightly hugged the life-saving straw-like soft body in his arms.

Even under the shelter of the merman's tears, the frantic rapids, like a crowded crowd, washed the two Kazama and the two of them to the ground, and the north and the south could not be distinguished.

Kazama Hiroha, who had just calmed down, was brutally thrown away from a new gate before he could find out the situation around him.

No, it's a washing machine.

Even, I was easily pressed to the gear of "strong cleaning".

So, the poor boy, in a daze, was swept in.

All the way, it was swept up in, the center of the whirlpool.

Then, there is the depths of the whirlpool.

Finally, the ...... arrived

Sky?!

Yes, the sky.

Spacious, free, inclusive.

The blue sky, with its indescribably broad mind, once again accepted this young man who was associated with flying.

Moreover, it is also very intimate to add a female tour guide for him, although a little cold, but absolutely amazing.

It's a pity that Kazama has no leisure to appreciate these at all at this time.

In his eyes, there were only the thousand-foot waves that gradually fell back into the abyss.

and the stone monument that stood in front of his eyes, like a mountain......

This is......

The pitch-black stele and the pitch-black fog, as well as the faintly visible, quaint font between the fog.

At that moment, Kazama's memories suddenly began to be confused.

Come back...... Finish?

With such a gesture...... ...... in such a way?

So, since when did it start to turn upside down...... The whole world.

I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know, what...... I don't know anything about it......

And, now the key, it's not this......

Kazama raised his feather, lowered his head, and looked around.

And then I felt it, the nostalgic, empty feeling.

Already...... The fifth, right?

Not sure, already, can't remember...... The number of times it was thrown into the air.

At that moment, Kazama suddenly decided on one thing - he must learn to fly, not mechanically, but on his own strength, just like a bird.

Well...... However, for the time being, you still have to rely on ready-made flying machines......

"Armor mode, activate!"

With a coquettish shout, he didn't return it to the creator of Kazama's feather, and in an instant, he stretched out.

Accompanied, there was a crisp sound of "clattering".

The original free flight trajectory was quickly corrected and turned into a smooth and slow landing.

The scenery in front of me finally became lovely again, including the excessively hot sun in the afternoon.

It's just that at this moment, this blazing heat is not enough to dispel the cold that Kazama Yangyu felt.

It was, from a thousand-year-old icy, chill.

"Although I don't mind if you hold it all the time, I can't guarantee your life."

"Uh......"

Finally came to his senses, and then, hesitantly, raised his head.

"Let it go!"

A flushed face, a round angry eye, and a slightly rapid breathing.

“……”

Why do you say that it is you who holds tightly, and it is you who says to let go!

Sure enough, changing your face is faster than turning a book......

Although he complained like this, Kazama's hands were obediently let go.

Although, a little reluctant, but sure enough, something that is too cold, even if you hug it tightly, just makes yourself feel colder.

The original temperature is no longer there, so when it's time to let go, you still have to learn to let go.

As for the feeling of emptiness after letting go, then use words to make up for it.

"Na...... What the hell is going on with all that? ”

The mist, the chaos, the whirlpools, and that, the castle behind the great gates, the full moon in the bloody night, the vampires in the throne, everything......

"Wet girl."

Faintly, two words.

Probably talking about the monster in the water......

"Not this ......"

"Yellow Springs."

Again, it's two words.

But...... is the point.

"Huh?"

The silver eyes widened instantly.

"Nine, secluded, yellow, spring."

Four words, word by word, like thunder.

"Where we came out just now."

As if she was afraid that Kazama Yang Yu didn't understand, the woman's eyes widened and she added.

However, Kazama raised his feathers, but he had long been deaf.

In his ears, there were only those four big words, slowly echoing.

Nine Shades ...... Death......

Suddenly, a strange beam of light lit up, with snowflake-like, crystal clear.

Is that......

A bad feeling quickly rose from my heart.

Kazama raised his feathers and snapped back to his senses.

In the eyes, it was that face, a rare smile.

But, I don't want that demonic smile!!

"Hey, I've never heard of this guy having this kind of thing!"

Despite saying this, although, taking advantage of the opportunity to struggle.

But the snowflake-like crystal, in the blink of an eye, wrapped the whole Kazama Rising Feather into it.

It's like a fully enclosed glass cover, which seals Kazama Hiroha in it.

On the other side of the glass cover is the one, slowly raised, with slender jade fingers.

"Don't hear about it, now you've seen it."

Then, press down.

Press on that, unexpectedly crisp, button on top.

"Smack!"

"Squeak...... Quack ......"

The hatch opened quickly.

Flames, began to roar.

Kazama raised his feathers, and suddenly felt his body float again.

Together, the huge crystal shroud.

"Oh, as for the clothes and the 'fall', I'll send someone to return them to you when I get back, and within three days, don't leave Regios."

Solemnly instructed, the woman suddenly pulled the silver robe, completely covering the graceful curves.

There was wind, blowing from the sky.

With a hint of coolness.

It's a pity that Kazama can't feel it anymore.

All he could feel was the blue sky, still warm, and a wide embrace.

and, under the sky, the towering gates that gradually expanded, towering like mountain peaks......
