(Aikari's Situation)
Over half an hour later. They have finished the food that Himari bought for them. Himari called the staff from the castle to clean it up for them. She then goes to Hikari and says.
"I could feel something coming. But I couldn't put it into words. Perhaps you already know it, do you?"
When Hikari heard that, he just nods. He told Himari that it was the reason why he put Hiro into a practice. Strengthen the military there and watch around. He may look calm, but it feels like something is wrong. But he maybe should just throw those feelings away.
Himari got it and she then told Hikari to just take a break. It's not easy for him or anyone else. But for now maybe they should just take it to a rest. Because after the tragedy of the Mizure attacks. They have been living peacefully.
When Aikari heard they were talking about the Mizure attack, it then just made him wonder if they just ignored or didn't know about what happened back then. Did they forget about it or did they just pretend like it never happened?
But Hikari doesn't seem to be weird about it, and he then tells Himari that he was thinking about some adventure with Aikari and Hirumi. So during those times, he will leave the kingdom on everyone's hand. Himari got it and she then told Hikari that there's just a girl with red hair and eyes that caught her attention lately. It is because she didn't think she had ever seen that person before. So it just really caught her attention.
When I heard about a person in red hair, it just recalled something in Hikari's mind. But he didn't really remember it. Plus everything just feels blurred for him. He hopes that anything won't happen to them. Even he could feel something might happen. Maybe they should just live the best they can for now.
Himari agreed with Hikari and then she told Hikari that currently there's been a lot of things happening just now. It's weird that Hikari wanted to go out at this kind of time. But she believes that it must be something important to do with their kingdom.
Hikari appreciates Himari for thinking of it in a positive way. But there was actually something else that he wanted to do. So to do that he needs to go somewhere. He can't confirm that it might give a benefit to their kingdom, but he wanted to see how it will go.
Himari got it and she then cleared his throat and said, "We, the residents of this world, will always stand with you. So, make sure that you will not make any mistake." Hikari nods in understanding, and he then told Himari to strengthen the kingdom army when he was away, and he then remembered something.
Hikari told Himari to follow him inside because he had something that he wanted to give to her. So, Himari followed Hikari and they then arrived at the room where the kingdom stored all of their weapon inside of it.
In there, there's a box that was made of metal. Hikari was the person who put that box there after he defeated Mizure. But no one ever opened it, not even Hikari. It seems like Hikari knows something about that box, and as Hikari reached that box, he held it. He then says to Himari.
"This box does not contain anything from my battle and Mizure. I don't know what's inside. But during his last stand. When he was about to die within my arms, he did tell me something about the box that contains a new will and hope. When I saw this box, I wondered if this is it. But until now I have never opened it. That's because you're the queen of this world. Mizure's partner. You're the person who should open this. Not me. So, when I am away, I want you to open this box and see what's inside."
When Himari looked at it, she realized that it was a box that Mizure had kept for a long time before. But when he was on adventure with her, she believes that Mizure did bring it everywhere with him. She never saw what's inside that box anyway. Plus it might be something important and secret about Mizure.
As Mizure's partner, Himari got it and she then told Hikari that she would look at it when he's gone. So with that, Hikari began to look around the Kingdom and watch what he could fix and do before he left the Kingdom for a while. So that way, they can prepare for whatever chaos that happens.
Hikari opens the portal and goes to whatever coordinate he thinks he will need to do something.
When Himari was alone inside that room, she held that box and tears came out of her eyes. She talked by herself.
"We have made it this far. So, don't worry. I will continue to protect this place that we created together, Mizure. Even if the end of it might be chaos or whatever. I-We will stand till the end."
But Himari didn't open that box yet, and she then carried it with her.
(Aikari and Hirumi Situation)
Aikari was sitting down and wondered if they would meet Hana here. It's not like she is eavesdropping to Hikari's and Himari's conversation, but he just happened to hear that Himari was talking about a girl in a red hair, of which he was so sure that person was Hana. But the thing is just that he didn't get a chance to talk to her.
Suddenly, Hirumi grabbed his arm and said,
"Hey, Aikari. Remember it? When we first met, I did say that it was fate that brought both of us together, right? After that, each time we met each other, I would always say the same. But what kind of story did this fate bring us to? Have you ever thought about it?"
When Aikari heard that, it then just began to make him think about it. But he just smiled and replied to Hirumi that even if it was fate that brought all of them together. Then they must keep on walking and end what they need to end. As their objective in why they came to Quantum World is to save Hana. But at the same time, they want to see what kind of capability the Quantum World has.
Hearing those words from Aikari just makes Hirumi glad. At first, she got a feeling to get out of Quantum World. But as they live there. It feels like they belong there. Aikari didn't want to admit it. But it feels like a dream to be able to live inside the Quantum World. But what is the point of living if they keep on living inside their dream? That will be pointless. They must find a way to break out of that dream. Even if it's still unknown. They will definitely find a way to come out and find Hana.
But as Aikari was thinking deeper about it, Quantum World may be trying to tell him something about his life as that was how his life usually was. It then just makes Aikari smile and he then tells Hirumi.
"I will walk on this path until everything ends the way it should be. I will not run away. Not even trying to put a reason to avoid it from happening. That is why I must continue living. Go through the future and keep on living. To accept the reality about who I am."
Hirumi was thinking that it was all of a sudden. But she understands what Aikari means by that and supporting him. But as they're talking like that, suddenly Himari and Hikari, who are staring at them, realized just how lonely they just got there that they couldn't say anything and watch.
Aikari and Hirumi blushed as they saw it, and they then apologized about it. But that just turns Hikari and Himari into laughs and they then tell both of them that it was normal that they had that kind of drama for a while there.
Hikari steps ahead and then says to Aikari,
"I don't really understand you. But if you have a goal, then I'm sure that you're after something that is really important. So, I will stay and walk along with you two until we reach our ending."
Those words just make both Aikari and Hirumi glad. They tell Hikari that they don't know what kind of obstacle they're about to face. They don't even belong to that place. But as long as they could benefit each other, they will do their best for both sides.
Suddenly Aikari offered a bump fist to Hikari and that just makes Hikari so weird by it. But he accepts it and then he can hear Aikari say "For the future and peace." So he then nods as a reply to that. But he adds "For the love and life too." When Himari looked at both Aikari and Hikari. It then just made her wonder if that is how Hikari and Mizure close with each other before they walk on a path to fight each other. But for now, she just hopes that the same thing won't happen again. Because what both of them are seeking for are the different things. But they're crossing the same path together.
Aikari wanted to find something and bring peace to this world through the war.
While Hikari wanted to protect what he had and understand the people around him.
Himari laughs a bit as she realizes just how interesting it is. But with both of their potentials, Himari knows that they will be able to reach what they want to reach. The future is still unknown. But together, nothing will stop them.
So now, Hikari wants to wait for Arithia. When Arithia returns, then she can watch over the kingdom together when he's gone with Aikari and Hirumi.
(Arithia Situation)
"SWOOSH!"
"CHING!"
Hiro is fighting with Lolita using his divine armor, yet he still wasn't able to leave a scratch on Lolita's body. He was so impressed by how skillful Lolita is with just Sheild and Sword. Lolita doesn't even have any ability and she does not have a body as tough as Hiyama. But she was able to fight with him with that Divine Armor like it was nothing.
"PANG!"
Lolita swings her sword towards Hiro and when Hiro blocks it, he gets blown a bit by that attack and then Lolita dashed towards Hiro and this time, it seems like she's not holding back anymore. Hiro is struggling with blocking the attack from Lolita and as they're fighting more. Lolita then says to Hiro.
"Focus on the attack. Read my movement and predict the attack that I'm about to blow. Find the right way to counter my attack. My response timing and weakness."
When Hiro heard that, he then tried his best to focus and read Lolita's movement as Lolita continued to attack him. When Lolita is attacking him, Hiro could feel that what Lolita is aiming for is not to damage him. But it was to exhaust him and make him drop his weapon.
Hiro continued to block the attack and then he was thinking in his mind, "Is this the kind of power that the hero of this kingdom has? Without an ability and magic? They're really strong." Hiro then dodge the attack and swing his sword hard towards Lolita, which caused Lolita to lose her balance, and he then says.
"Then so, I will be as strong as them."
Lolita smiled as she heard that from Hiro. Lolita pulls her arm back and pushes Hiro using her shield and is about to give a finishing blow. But Hiro then released his sword and made a flip. He dodged the attack from Lolita and picked his sword again and then used the small sword that he was able to pull out from his big sword and then finished Lolita by just putting his sword on Lolita's body.
Lolita was so impressed by that movement from Hiro that she then sighed. She told Hiro that it's over and she then gave a compliment to Hiro about how good he is currently. Even with that short training. But he will need to train more with her. So she told Hiro that maybe until Hikari and the others return, he will need to train with her.
Instead of rejecting it, Hiro then quickly agrees with it and says.
"Mr. Hiyama, Ms. Lolita please teach me more. I want to get stronger. So that way in the future, I will be able to take care of this Kingdom the same way as you all did in the past and even now."
Those words from Hiro just made both of Hiyama and Lolita smile. They accepted it but when they looked at the sky, they then told Hiro that maybe they should return for today and give a farewell to his father before his departure.
Looking at the sky, Hiro also thinks that maybe it was almost the time that his father was about to go. Thinking about that, it just made him wonder if they were able to protect the kingdom when he was away and that just made him want to be stronger than ever.
