There are no storms on the top of the mountain, nor black hair spread like a river, nor those disgusting and ugly ghosts.
There were only overcast clouds, but the firelight clearly visible under the mountain was not detectable at all.
"Gah——"
A crow sounded, as if due to the arrival of an uninvited guest. In Fujimaru Ritsuka's field of vision, a three-legged crow flapped its wings and flew up.
"...that bird..."
Like Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ezuna suddenly felt a chill as she watched the bird disappear from sight.
"...Let's go, Master, the top of the mountain is right in front of us."
"The person we're looking for...is right there."
They actually had little understanding of the situation at this time.
The memories of previous reincarnations have not fully returned to my mind, and my true understanding of this singularity is not comprehensive enough. I even do not understand what is happening now and why I am here.
but--
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Samura Eina both know one thing.
I am looking for something.
Maybe someone.
Maybe it's some kind of so-called "truth" or something...
Whatever you are looking for is on the other side of the ridge.
And the people standing there, with their backs to the ridge, the people standing quietly by the lake——
"So, why is it you?"
"......Mr. Samura?"
In a trembling voice, Sumina softly called out the name of the man standing by the lake.
Anno Zuomura.
He heard voices behind him, but was indifferent.
"You created this singularity."
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Samura Eina walked down the ridge together and said firmly to Samura Anno.
Zuomura Annuo still didn't turn around.
"You - why do you do this?"
Ezuna stretched out her hand, wanting to ask, wanting to tell her questions to Mr. Samura, who was perfect in her memory.
However--
Zuocun, disappeared.
It turned into a wisp of smoke and a shadow, and Sumina couldn't touch the smoke and shadow.
Buzz——
The moment Zuocun disappeared, the entire Kurokawa Mountain trembled.
"ah--"
"Miss Soina!"
Ezuna, who was leaning forward, couldn't stand still and almost fell to the ground. Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly reached out and grabbed Ezuna's arm.
But the shaking didn't stop.
The lake water surged violently, the rocks trembled, and countless stones and gravel slipped from the ridge and fell into the lake water, causing waves.
There seemed to be something in the lake.
It was a bloody light, sinking at the bottom of the lake, flickering, and flashing with the same frequency as a heart.
world--
Collapse?
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know why, but came up with such a somewhat absurd guess.
There is no one else in the village, and the statue in the shrine can be seen clearly. All of this, all of this happening - it is absolutely a reason for existence!
But - why is everything happening now?
What happens next?
boom--
There was a roar of falling rocks and shattering rocks behind him. Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't look back and grabbed Samura Soina's wrist.
"Ms. Soina—come with me!"
"Why?"
Ezuna was startled by Ritsuka, but as soon as she left her original position, a huge falling rock rolled over and hit the lake.
The direction in which Fujimaru Ritsuka ran was also very clear.
That hut.
That hut on the other side of the ridge.
Samura did not know when he had appeared in the center of the lake. He stood on the water and looked in the direction of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Soina.
"It's about to end..."
He muttered to himself.
He put his hand into the water and caught the bloody light.
Sin requires a price.
Creating this singularity is a sin no matter what, and Zuo Cun has not even the consciousness to bear the sin.
No......
Perhaps, it was precisely because he knew it was sin that he calmly grasped the Holy Grail in nothingness.
"That's why..."
Zheng——
That red light is a sword.
But it is not the crane feather from Zuocun, and in terms of length, it is not the same as the pheasant feather or the rhinoceros feather.
"...Some things are not my choice, but they are indeed born and exist because of me."
"I will take all responsibilities and will never run away."
Buzz——
The long knife flashed with a brilliant red light, but Zuocun's eyes were numb and calm.
"Until I die."
.......
Fujimaru Ritsuka loaded the simple version of the Divine Power Seal while running.
If her intuition was correct, she should have done this kind of thing before... I just don't know when.
"——At least let me see what is attracting me!"
call out--
boom!!!
The bullets exploded, and the hut with a weak structure was directly blasted away by the cannonballs of the divine right seal.
And there is still nothing in it.
No--
wrong!
