I need to be alone with White.
After I said that, they all reluctantly agreed and walked out of the cave.
In the kitchen, I'm alone with White on a plate.
'What's up?' 'I thought you were going to eat it plain, noka?'
No, I'm still cooking.
I don't ever want to eat it as it is.
At the very least, let's keep it out of sight.
Combine the strong and light flours in a bowl and stir in a circular motion.
Throw the chilled butter into the bowl, cut the butter with a wooden spoon and add cold water to make it even finer.
'What are you making?'
Pie crust. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to cover your body in it, and it's going to be baked at about 200 degrees, okay?
"Mmm. You're welcome to warm up. No problem at all.
After a little kneading, place the dough on a cutting board and stretch it out with a stick.
'Hey, White is .......'
"Hmm? What, what's going on?
No, what the hell does White and that black thing think of this world? I don't mind if it breaks down. Is that how you feel about it?
In that white world with White, this world was treated as a game called Othello.
Does that mean that everything about us and the world is just a game?
'Yes, it does. I've been playing it for a long time, so I'm attached to it. If possible, I don't want it to be broken.''
...... and then...
After all, White and us are on a different level.
I knead and roll out the pie crust, realizing that once again.
But that's not it. I'm completely bored with it. I have no hesitation in destroying the world.
I've felt that since I met him as a child.
The black thing is dying to destroy everything.
'Why did the black thing get tired of this world?
"It's because the world is at peace. There hasn't been a major war in over 100 years. The board will always be white.
That makes us happy, but not White and the others.
"The heroes and the demon king were the accents of this world. The balance has been shattered since it ceased to function and fell apart, Noda.
Did Rick and the Demon King know about White and the black thing?
The perfect world that Rick tried to create may have had something to do with White and the others.
I'm afraid that Takumi and Alice will be the last amusement for that thing. If we don't stop them, the world is really going to end.
I'll stop it. I'll stop Alice. Or the black thing.
Wrap the white sheet in the pie crust that has been left to soak up for a while.
Bake the white in the oven for 30 minutes until the "lovely and round white pie" is ready.
No seasoning is necessary.
I can never chew it, so I have to swallow it in one bite.
'Eat gently, ne.'
Yeah, don't mention it.
I couldn't see White because of the pie crust, but I still closed my eyes and swallowed it in one go.
''Ugh.''
He felt a great power flowing through his body.
What the hell?
Gentle, yet strong and too big, yet all-encompassing ......
It's like being in warm water.
No, it's similar, but not the same.
This is ......
The sea?
That's right. It reminds me of an ocean I used to visit.
That was just after I was born: ......
No, I'm pretty sure I've never been to the ocean.
Why? Is your memory confused by the arrival of White?
"...... Memories of Takumi? What's this? You say there's something I don't understand?
White's voice echoes from inside his body.
'So kah! You're of this world!
My eyes went blank.
Nothing, just being alone in a white world.
It was a strange sensation.
Nothing, just white space, but I felt like I was being protected by something big.
Ah, well, here it is: ......
I slowly lost consciousness in a white world.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep in it.
Takumi-san, you're all right!
When I woke up, Leia's worried face was right in front of me.
Chiharu, Sasha, Karuna and Chloe were around me, looking at me with the same worried look on their faces.
'Yeah, I'm fine.'
I got up and looked at my body, moving it around.
Maybe it was because I absorbed the white, but my body felt lighter and full of strength.
''Takkun, my hair.''
When Karuna told me that, I looked in the mirror and saw that my black hair had turned white.
'You're a white takumi,'
He looked a little old, but not that bad looking.
'So how is Takumi? Do you feel stronger?
Sasha, who knows I'm the weakest, asks me with real concern.
'Yeah, I feel more powerful than I ever have before. I'm sure no one can beat me.'
That was awesome, Takumi.
My words caused Chiharu to hug me excitedly.
'Huh? But it's not really that different.
Huh?
Chiharu's words made me a little uneasy.
'Indeed, the power I can feel from Takumi-san is the same as before. Even though you put the powerful power called White into our home, you don't reveal that power, you have completely reduced it to zero! That's what I'm talking about, Takumi!
Hmm. Very well, you're right.
Huh? Zero power? Oh, what? It's funny.
I don't mean to do that at all, but what does this mean?
''Now you can beat Black Alice, Takumi-dono.
Chloe is giving me a gut-punch, and I return it the same way. But she's probably pulling a face.
One, it's getting stronger, right? It's okay, right?
I ask the White in me.
'...... I have some unfortunate news for you, Kana.
Oh no.
I want to cover my ears and reject it, but I can't stop the voice coming from inside.
''Takumi hasn't gotten this strong at all.
White muttered in the most disappointing voice I've ever heard in my life.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
I need to be alone with White.
After I said that, they all reluctantly agreed and walked out of the cave.
