Ta-tan-tan, and Alice was taking nimble steps.

She had shrunk in height and her face was young.

It was Alice when I met her.

She was surrounded by skeletons, demons with only bones.

Alice destroyed it, spinning around and destroying it, as if they were dancing together.

Alice's steps are getting faster and faster, and I follow them with my eyes.

Alice's face was alive with life.

Ta-tan, ta-tan, ta-tan.

As the steps bounced, they became more and more dynamic.

It's as if she's having a lot of fun destroying skeletons.

Oh, this is a dream.

Are you dreaming of the time when you were an adventurer, when you were alone with Alice in a dungeon after getting separated from Nuruhachi and the others?

Surrounded by skeletons, Alice looks at me and says.

'Hey, Takumi. This isn't alive, is it? Can I destroy everything?

Normally, I would admonish Alice not to fight in vain.

'To take a life is to live with that life on your back.

As I said that, Alice is faithful to my words.

However, surrounded by skeletons and panicking, I say to Alice.

'Yeah, you're right. And it's dead to begin with. I suppose we could destroy it.'

Young Alice gave a big smile with a nipple.

As if the one she had been holding down until now had popped, Alice was released.

Ta-tam, ta-tam, ta-tam, ta-tam.

The skeletons gushing out of the ground in swarms are happily destroyed.

It's like an innocent child playing with a special toy.

Is this what Alice is really like?

Have I been forcing Alice to do things all along?

Takumi, look. It's almost over.

Alice is waving her hand against a pile of destroyed bones.

We have to stop it.

I can't enjoy the destruction.

That's why I tried to speak, but I couldn't.

That's right. This is a dream.

The past me just waves at Alice with a drawn-out face.

'Aris!

It wasn't me in the past that screamed out loud.

I got up out of bed and screamed, the me of the present.

I woke up from the dream, but I was still dreaming.

My whole body was sweating.

Why is it that I'm dreaming about those days now: ......

"Omen Kana.

What?

I heard a voice next to me, and when I looked to my side, I saw White standing there.

He was looking down at me, half up in bed.

'W-why are you in my room?

She hides her body in a huff.

"You react like a maiden, Takumi. Have I ever been by your side in the past?

No, sure, White had appeared out of the blue and so on from the beginning, but that was just a white one with no girl's form, no eyes, no mouth, no nose.

But now it was different.

The mere thought of a crystal-clear, white, fantastically beautiful White in the same room made my heart beat faster, and I couldn't settle down with a bang.

'And anyway, let's go outside. If everyone else sees us like this: ......

Takumi! Oh, my God! Empty! ...... oh.

It was too late.

Before I could say anything about not being seen, the door was opened with a bang and vigor.

Leia, who had entered, was frozen in place.

''Takumi-san, why is this woman here?''

'Yes, no, I don't know. I just found out I was there.

You were there because your breasts are bigger than mine?

It's not the usual Leia. Her voice is trembling with anger.

It's no good. No matter what I say, he's not going to listen to me.

'White, just say something.

Hmm? Are you talking about me always being on Takumi's side?

No, no, no, no. ...... What?

Before I knew it, Leia wasn't the only one there, but Chloe and Karuna, as well as Nuruhachi and Sasha, had gathered at the door.

...... guys, what's up?

It's not yet dawn and everyone has never been awake at this time of day.

I finally realize that something unusual is going on.

Hm, we've all noticed your presence. That's pretty good.

The Nuruhachi, in front of White, comes close to him.

'Is that one of your people, after all?

Well, cana. It's the closest thing we have. The most distant of them all, Gana.

I don't know what Nuruhachi, and White, are saying.

'What the hell is going on?'

Nothing's happened yet. Let's go outside for a minute.

White answers my question and walks towards the door, and everyone makes their way to avoid it.

As I get out of bed to follow him, Leia squeezes my hand.

'Are you always by my side?'

Leia is glaring up at me with an upward glance.

I have a feeling this isn't the time for that, but I shake my head in denial, shaking my head in a bobbing motion as my hand is about to shatter in my grip.

'That's not true. This is the first time.''

In my mind, I sneakily add, in that form.

'I see. That's good.

Then I looked at Leia, who smiled at me, and my heart throbbed and ached.

What the hell. As I thought, I'm strange.

I knew I was under some kind of mental attack since the time Shiro changed his form.

''Tach-kun, that's not an attack.

Karuna, who was in human form all the time later, blurted out a blur, but when she turned around, she was turned away with a pout.

''What on earth is going on?''

I would say the same line again.

This time no one answers my question.

We all go outside, and no one says a word, just looks at the sky.

The morning sun was rising for the first time and it was getting brighter, but the western sky, the area around the Great Labyrinth of the Demon King, was dyed black.

What is it? How does this feel?

I know what I'm talking about.

You can get this feeling: ......

In the distance, a strange presence drifted from the black sky.

It was as if it was leading to a deep, abyssal darkness from which there was no way of return.
