That's how the story should be, but—

The lobby on the first floor of the Port Cinema has been turned into an open-air well because the floors above it have been destroyed, but at the moment the rainwater is blocked by an invisible barrier and pours down in all directions.

Then, the invisible black barrier shattered, like fragile glass that had been hit, and scattered into particles in the air.

The rain gradually became larger, and the raindrops fell on the body, so that the hot body and boiling blood all cooled down.

Gasping for breath, Natsume looked at the still very dark sky above his head, and sat down on his knees as if he had lost all his strength, and the Medusa who had been pierced in the neck by himself had turned into pieces and disappeared, leaving only Charange, whose heart was pierced.

He still had a little consciousness left, staring at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief, and he stretched out his hand to Natsume, and before he touched Natsume's body, he turned into mist, leaving only the lake sword that rolled to the ground.

Having successfully killed the last enemy, Natsume opened her phone with her remaining right hand and waited for the death decision to be announced.

Consciousness seemed to be about to go away, and before he could fall to the side, he was held up by Saber who rushed over, while Record flew overhead, observing the situation around him.

"Master, we won."

Almost using up her magic, the knight king's maiden smiled at Natsume.

"Ahh......h

"It's time to move on."

New voices appeared, once again, from behind the scenes. A figure appeared.

Wear a formal dress. With a top hat. The person who played with the assistant mobile phone appeared on the current stage with a smile on his face.

There was no difference in his appearance, appearance, tone, movements, and look.

That face was very ordinary. At the same time, that face is also very familiar.

"Is it the first time we met? I'll do it myself. ”

The person who appeared in front of Natsume's eyes was himself.

Except for the clothes, everything else is almost identical, and there is no difference in height, the color of the pupils, or the way they smile.

Trouble is dead, disgust is dead. In the past, Natsume killed his future, and now it's here. Do you have to face the present again?

"I'm very sorry, but your actions just now are in vain, it's just my puppet, Athena and Medusa's combat power is really worrying, so it's time for me to show you the last resort."

Of course, this is not the most powerful method.

Saying heartily, Natsume watched as he snapped his fingers, and a Knightmare appeared in the sky.

It was the seventh generation of the large KnightmareFrame developed by the British Empire, named after Sir Gawain, who was on a par with Lancelot among the legendary Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur.

The person riding on it is not Lelouch, but - C.C.?

Gawain slowly descended from the sky, and the huge cannon muzzle was aimed at Natsume and Saber who were present.

"I'm different from you, I haven't experienced those complicated stories and plots, so I'm not good at fighting, and I'm not infected, and happiness and misfortune mean nothing to me."

But

"The act of breaking through the box and becoming the 'king' must be stopped, haven't you, myself, discovered it? All this, in fact, is the conspiracy of the Apocalyptic Frame, what to say to be afraid, what to say that it is beyond his power, in fact, once he is victorious, it will only bring him great benefits. Originally, it could only reach out to the world of the box that was created, but it will use this power to touch the real normal world, which will be the end of the collapse of the world line. ”

"I am, am I being used?"

"Of course, it is impossible for me to return to the original world, unless I become a puppet of the frame of the Apocalypse, so that I can get the right to go back, but only if I am destroyed."

Natsume listened to his own words, not knowing how to answer, and at the same time, his energy had been exhausted a lot, and his consciousness became hazy.

Saber on the side reached for the sword in the lake, but a barrage of shots directly stopped Saber's movements, causing her to withdraw her hand and hold Natsume.

"It's impossible to go back to the old life, and I'm not disgusted with the world, and I don't hate the world, so I want to save the world once in a while, right? Natsume No. 4? ”

In the end, this self is also disgusted with misfortune.

It is precisely for this reason that Natsume's actions will be stopped, fearing that Natsume will spread the misfortune.

It's just that I'm wrong.

Based on what he had just said, he had not experienced the misfortunes, stories, and battles he had experienced here, so he certainly couldn't understand his current emotions.

The C.C. riding Gawain was aiming his muzzle and muzzle at this side, and as long as he gave the order from the opposite side, he would be shot into a hornet's nest.

"So I came to a good conclusion, Natsume Four, since we all appeared here, let's let this all end, there is no place to go back, there is no one waiting for us, wouldn't it be nice to end here?"

"That's just, you."

Natsume stood up against Saber, laughing at himself who hadn't experienced those stories.

"I have a place I want to go back to!"

With the pain of the laceration of the wound on his left shoulder, Natsume spat at the blood foam, and threw himself away from Saber's support.

The opposite self immediately gave an order, and C.C., who was standing in Gawain, received the order to prepare to shoot, and at the same time, Natsume made a summoning declaration.

"My last resort! I'll show you too! ”

The magic array and the spatial fragmentation were created together, and the girl wrapped in black armor descended here, and at the same time, the horizontal swing of the blade cut off the muzzle of the Gawain mecha.

With long emerald green hair flying, a slender body and a huge blade, the girl with that look is completely different from the C.C. who piloted Gawain.

"This is? C.C.？ ”

"Is this, me?"

A voice came from Gawain's body, and the C.C., who was piloting Gawain, did not stop, and immediately mobilized her body to launch a second round of attacks, relying on the continuous fire of the auxiliary muzzle and the machine gun.

However, these movements were blocked one by one, and like a ghost, C.C., who had used the elven power to the limit, slashed open Gawain's cab and yelled at himself inside.

"Don't do anything to my humans! You idiot! ”

“…… Why, I would ......"

Of course, this is not the C.C. of the original world, so it is only natural that the witch who pilots Gawain will be surprised.

"I hate being alone, but I want to end it all? Do you want to kill humans? ”

"Human, that Natsume?"

The witch in the cab didn't know what to do now, and the whole person was in a state of surprise at the change in herself.

The witch spoke quietly, and her emotions did not fluctuate much, but the C.C. summoned by Natsume had an angry expression on his face.

"No matter how time passes, there are people who can be by your side, there are people who will not let you be lonely, and there are people who identify with you, all of this, you have to destroy?"

"Those, it has nothing to do with me."

The witch glanced at Natsume, who was dressed in a black dress, and her expression was a little distorted.

It's doubt, pain, and incomprehension.

Mixed with all sorts of emotions, she heard the command.

"A bunch of weird guys! And the strange self that has changed! It's only right to disappear here! Number four Natsume! You should understand! There's no going back! Killed, done, everything, there is no way to go back to the past! ”

"Who said they were going back!"

Natsume stopped.

"I'm not going back to the original world, didn't I just say that? There are people waiting for me, so I don't want to go back, and I don't want to go back. ”

"Nonsense, nonsense, how is it possible! Obviously, obviously murderer! Perpetrator! ”

Natsume watched his struggles, and he was probably like himself, looking for redemption in thousands of worlds, and then, failed.

I can save myself, and there is only one thing Natsume can do at the moment.

To yourself, goodbye.

So, goodbye.

So, goodbye.

So, enough is enough.

Picking up the lake sword on the ground, Natsume walked towards himself holding his head while C.C. suppressed the witch.

"I, ah, always feel that I am not needed, maybe it is because of the past incident that I have such thoughts, but ......"

One way or another.

Somewhere in the world, somewhere in the universe, on a numerical world line, there are people who need that kind of self.

That's how you don't feel pain, that's how happiness you perceive.

I didn't notice this in front of me.

"The end is the beginning, the beginning is also the end, for the people who are waiting for me, and the world that wants to go back, I have only one choice......"

Painful and happy, Natsume made a choice. (To be continued......)
