Yes, although they are separated, they maintain the status quo, and the status quo of keeping the two separate, but together, is truly complete.

"As I said before, I'm just an ordinary person, although I have some strange abilities, but I can't call it combat effectiveness at all, and it's much weaker than you elves."

Unlike in other worlds, Natsume is fragile in this world.

It doesn't belong to the strong, it doesn't belong to the weak, it just hovers between the two.

"Still, I'm just like Yakuya."

"Same as me?"

Yes, it's the same as Yakuya.

It's a bit like a kid, Natsume said something like that.

Natsume thinks she is a complete liar, not only deceiving the people around her, but even the world.

Different worldlines have different stories, and different stories will compile different solutions, and Natsume is the one who shuttles through this infinite difference.

The Apocalypse wants to learn to be in love and experience everything in life, so he is here.

Unlike the past time-travel, Natsume is not replacing others, but acting on himself.

In this stage where there is no audience - no, it should be performed with other people on this stage where there is no audience in sight.

"Yes, just like Yakuya, I also feel the same doubts, the same pain, the feelings of wanting to help someone, the uneasy throbbing in my heart, and the extremely hot emotions, which make people uneasy and exciting."

"I didn't, I just ...... Probably the same as Natsume said before. I'm running away. ”

Fear to face reality. Because of that. There will only be one person here.

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, Yakuya doesn't want that kind of solution, but there is only one name for the Eight Dances, and it is impossible for two people to exist at the same time!

Natsume heard the sound of his elbow hitting the door. At the same time, he hammered the outside of the gate.

Knock knock.

As if knocking on the door, Natsume waited until Yakuya was quiet before speaking.

"So let's do it, Yakuya, since you and Yushin both want to win and lose, then let's win one last time."

"One last time, win or lose?"

"Well, the last win or defeat, I didn't say it before, the front was a tie, so this time the last win or defeat will be played. There will never be a tie at once. ”

"That's?"

"Of course, it's just to pick up on the last game, because your past games have been about things that don't have an emotion. This time, however, it was a competition for humans, and if it were me and Shidao, it would definitely give you a winner. ”

"In that case......

"En......"

Natsume didn't continue, didn't say that one of them would disappear.

However, Natsume added another sentence -

"That way, I'll have a chance, Yakuya."

"What, what do you mean?"

"You don't have to worry about Yakuya, because this time, I'm going to try to be—"

There was a pause.

"To become—to be a hero."

There was silence on the other end of the door, and Natsume rubbed the tip of his nose a little embarrassed.

Knock knock knock on the door.

"Yakuya, if you can, can you open the door? Your stomach is hungry too. ”

“…………”

"Don't open the door? Then I'll go back first and pick you up tomorrow morning. ”

"No, wait."

The door suddenly opened a crack, and Natsume saw a small head poking out of the dark room.

Flipping through the gap where about a person could enter, Yakuya reached out and grabbed the hem of Natsume's clothes.

Although there was a light in the hallway, it was impossible to see her expression clearly because Yakuya had her head down.

Opening his mouth, Yakuya glanced at the dinner that had been placed in the doorway.

"My stomach, hungry, come in, come in."

"Yes, yes, Miss Elf."

Picking up the cold food, Natsume finally squeezed in sideways.

I wanted to turn on the lights, but I was rejected by Yakuya.

Pada ran to the window in the room, where Yakuya patted the side with her hand and motioned for Natsume to sit there.

Before that, Natsume said, pointing to the microwave oven in the room

"Need to heat up the meal?"

Shaking his head, he was immediately rejected.

The cold meal should taste good, Natsume thought, walking over to Yakuya with the meal and miso soup and sitting down in her designated place.

There were only two people in the low-visibility room, and Yakuya 'brushed' the curtains open.

And then - whoa!

Natsume quickly turned his face to the left.

"Why are you only wearing underwear? What about the outerwear? Yukata is also available! ”

"Hmph, it's troublesome, so that's it, and don't boys like this?"

"That's right......"

"Hard?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

I saw Yakuya's expression through the moonlight, and returned to the innocent and cute appearance of the past.

"Natsume, I'm hungry, I want to eat."

"Well, the food, chopsticks and soup spoons are there."

"I don't have the strength~"

"You did it on purpose."

Natsume first fed him a mouthful of rice, then picked up the tamagoyaki and put it in Yakuya's mouth.

"Human affairs officially smell musty."

"I'm talking after eating."

"Yes!"

Nodding, Yakuya gulped down.

Natsume put down her chopsticks and reached for Yakuya's mouth, where there was rice that had been accidentally touched.

Take it off and put it straight in your mouth.

"Hey, hey! Wow! Natsume's big metamorphosis! ”

"That's normal, right?"

Just like taking care of her own daughter, Natsume, who had entered the state of a househusband, used her hand to prop up Yakuya, who was waving her hands, her face turned red, and she pouted, don't look away.

Sighing helplessly, Natsume fed the food to Yakuya again, and although he was a little hesitant and shy, Yakuya still opened his mouth and ate it.

Putting chopsticks and other utensils aside, Natsume touched Yakuya's head with his hand, which seemed to have become a habit.

"Don't treat people like children!"

"You found out?"

"Hmph, the moon tonight is very beautiful, Natsume, do you like the moon?"

"Yes, sort of."

"What, ambiguous answer."

Not really.

Natsume yawned and closed her eyes, enjoying the unique silence.

I feel very tired, and I have been busy since the afternoon until now, and I have taken care of Yakuya, and I found that my body and mind are in the luxury of resting.

"Yakuya...... I...... Good night......"

"Yes, don't lean on my shoulder!"

When she said this, Yakuya noticed that Natsume was already asleep, and she removed the hair from Natsume's forehead and flicked it gently.

What a different, confused and anxious human being.

But-

Tilting his head over as well, Yakuya whispered.

"Please, my hero." (To be continued......)
