Now, do you hear me?

Everyone is applauding your arrival.

Our Hero.

“......”

When you open your eyes, you are greeted by a very gentle light, as if you are inviting, and you can't help but walk forward.

The only way to see was the light in front of me, and the closer I got to it, the more the darkness around me faded away, and slowly, the sound of the river could no longer be heard.

"Now."

"I said."

Someone took his hand, and in a very cheerful gesture, one of his left and right hands was held, and they took him by the hand, and brought him much closer to the light.

"Come on." A familiar voice came from the left.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time." On the right, you can see a familiar face.

But why, they should be so familiar, but they can't be named anyway.

The ability to think seemed to be missing, the concept of the virtual and the real was blurred by something strange, he looked down at his chest, and the black vortex slowly began to penetrate his body from the position of the heart, and was constantly spreading outward.

Something important was taken away.

Jingle bells.

A strange bell rang in her ears, and the corner of her vision was impregnated with a dull red, like a red ink drop immersed in water, and she quickly faded in the corner in a flash.

In a trance, he only saw a withered and withered flower.

He stopped, the girl who flashed through his mind seemed to have something to convey to himself, but—

Can't remember.

"What's wrong, aren't you leaving?"

The girl on the left took the hand that had just been thrown off, pointed to the light in front of her and said, "It's going to be soon, it's coming soon." ”

“......”

Where is it over there, why do you want to go there, these words should have been asked, but he didn't ask, his body has lost the ability to self-discipline, and he can only be carried away by her mechanically.

Trying to keep his scattered gaze in one point, he wanted to see the girl clearly......

Chaos.

The girl's face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog that made it impossible to see clearly, not only her expression, but also the slightest basis for judging by recognition.

Speaking of which, who is this person?

In a daze, the other hand was also held by another girl, she didn't make a sound, but her face showed a gentle expression.

It seems to have seen it somewhere, but it is still the same, and I can't name it.

"Let's go." The girl on the left said this, and the paused footsteps took another step, and the light in front of her became brighter.

In the world of black and white, he is pulled forward by two girls, as if there are countless eyes watching him behind him, but at this moment he is like a high-speed tram, unable to remember everything that passes around him.

The light is getting closer.

The vision in front of me slowly became clear, the light was the end of the road, and after that was a beautiful world shrouded in light.

The girls on the left and right let go of his hand and walked out into the light, thinking that he had made an invitation.

"It's here."

"This is where we end."

The girls seem to have become a part of the light, and they maintain the eternal beauty as if they were frozen in the scenery in the painting.

He looked back and saw a deep passageway, filled with a malevolent stench of rancidity, in stark contrast to the wonderful world ahead.

Raising his head, the falling cherry blossoms fell on his palm, and the hollow in his chest stopped distorting at this moment.

Staring at the color of the cherry blossoms, his mind flashed to the girl with the same color.

Suddenly, the wind from the beautiful world blew the cherry blossoms into the deep darkness, and as if rejected by the world, the cherry blossoms disappeared into the deep path.

"You're tired already, aren't you?"

"Come on, here you can rest to your heart's content."

The girls turned into two translucent white wings, one on the left and one on the right, and wrapped him in them.

His mind seemed to be split into two parts, and the longing for the dark passage was gradually replaced by a longing for a new world, and he tried to take a step towards the light.

Boom.

There was a flash of pain in the back of his head, and he turned his head again, and what fell to the ground was what had just hit him, red and white intertwined into the most perfect yin and yang, but the luster of the jade had faded, leaving only the coldness of stone.

He clutched the hollow in his chest, which seemed to be entangled in some invisible "thread", and the other end of the thread was at the end of the dark passage in front of him.

His vision blurred, it was from the urging of the light, he couldn't control his body, he didn't control his body anymore, he got up, turned his head, and continued to take steps towards the light.

Glowing bamboos grew from the dark path, hanging from side to side as if to obscure his vision, and rootless flames formed a line of fire on the ground, as if to stop his steps.

He watched the light in front of him wither the bamboo leaves and extinguish the flames, and he felt more "threads" wrapped around his chest as he stepped through the ashes.

The bats hanging upside down in the passage were dispelled by the light, the stardust on the walls was erased by the light, the clock was stopped, the words were crossed out, and everything that came from the darkness was extinguished in the light.

Although more and more "threads" were trying to fill the hole in his chest, his footsteps did not stop.

Ten steps, five steps, three steps, two steps, one step –

He finally came to the closest place to the light, and his body felt as comfortable as bathing in the warm spring breeze.

If only it could go on like this—he thought.

There is nothing left to do, everything that was originally forgotten, a name, an identity, a meaning that exists there.

He has nothing, and he has nothing to be nostalgic about.

The two girls who guided themselves turned into angel wings in the light, so they themselves became the wind that lifted them.

That is the will of the Light, and it is his last.

The foot that stepped into the light gradually became transparent, and after giving up everything, he was finally about to become a part of this world, and in this way, he was frozen in this eternal beauty.

"Takeya!"

As the name was called, time seemed to turn backwards, and the "parts" that had drifted away in the wind reunited into the form of "him", and the right arm, which had not yet been able to walk into the light, was hugged by someone.

Fear, worry, sadness, and a hint of anger.

The blonde youkai gritted her teeth stubbornly, the tears in her eyes kept rolling and refused to stay, no matter how the light from the beautiful world eroded her existence, the clenched hand never let go.

So, I remember.

I, and she have already made an agreement.

This time, the "line" in his chest did not increase, but instead the twisted chaos began to spin wildly in reverse at this moment.

The "thread" that had been withdrawn from the side of the dark passage had completely filled the void in his chest at this moment.

The flame of greed was ignited again, and the world of light instantly turned into a blue purgatory, and the malicious madness buried all the good, gathering the corpses and bloody remains to dance in his palms.

Quietly hiding that little bit of golden thoughts, he dispelled the darkness in front of him with a fear deeper than the abyss, and recondensed it into the path to the past.

"Sure enough, I've never been a hero."
