As Ardia heard that, she then smiled and replied that maybe everything won't just happen as they wish. As this world is a place where all of them share each other's story. So the thing will not just happen as they wish.
Let's say what one person wished will always be true. Won't that just make it unfair for the others?
Ardia smiled again and said that is why the people need to understand each other. That way, they will share the same goal and they all will work for that one goal.
The world isn't about how they will restart everything and somehow rebuild the world. But it is about how they will understand each other, share one dream and work for it all at once. That was the kind of peace they should look for. Because as the source of conflict has gone, Ardia was so sure that there was no war or hate that would happen. Why? Because all of them shared the same dream. No jealousy and such. Not even a feeling of someone feeling bad or weak. Because they're all equal.
Aikari and Hikari understand that. But Aikari then stepped forward and went to Ardia. He knelt down and looked at Ardia.
"I understand your goal and I will make it true. With everything that you have given to me. So once I return. To the place on where everyone will be. Will you wait for me and welcome me?"
As Ardia heard that, she did remember those words as Aikari did ask her before. It was a thing that Aikari always asked her to. Ardia understands why did Aikari always asked her for that. But she will always keep that promise. So she then smiled and said.
"It will always be it. Forever. Both of us. No, all of us. We will all meet each other in that place again, right?"
Aikari nods and he then tells Ardia that he got it and he will always remember that. But there are still a few things that he needs to do. Once this thing ends, then maybe we will truly return to that place.Ardia got it and she then told Aikari that there may be a price he might pay on his journey there. Aikari got it and he believes that it has always been like that.
So he will just continue to walk until he reaches that place. But until then, he hopes that Ardia will continue to wait for him. Even if the situation right now is a bit complicated for him. He hopes that everyone will always be with him.
Ardia got it and then she told Aikari that she would do as he wished. But she wonders if that will last. Because if she remembers it correctly, she does feel like Aikari began to get interested in something recently, and she just wonders why. That just makes Aikari blush and Ardia then brush it off by saying.
"The world is beginning to change. So you should too. I might always be the person who you will always love. But that love is better to be shared, right? So what do you think you should do?"
When Aikari heard that, he just stayed in silence. He doesn't know why Ardia suddenly brings that up, but he knows that Ardia is just trying to calm himself about what he was thinking in his mind. He didn't reply to the question but instead, he just smiled.
Hikari saw everything and he knew that everything had finally come to an end. So Hikari then asked Aikari if it was a time for both of them to leave that place. Because he knows that Aikari must know a way to escape from there.
Hearing that request from Hikari, Aikari then was thinking that they should leave too. So he then says a farewell to Ardia.
"I will keep on that promise that we will all meet again: I, You, Akaru, Ageru, and everyone. So I shall take my leave now."
Ardia just replied with a smile and Aikari then looked at the sky and said.
"Gaining System Permission."
As Aikari said that, a weird message then began to appear in front of him. It was a confirmation about the command he just said.
"Reboot the system and gain the access?"
Aikari then clicked on Yes and as the system began to reboot, Hikari and Aikari could see that everything around them turned black. As it began so, Hikari and Aikari then stood next to each other and at that time, Aikari then told Hikari.
"Seems like we finally enter the last part of this story. I wonder what kind of ending is awaiting us."
As Hikari heard that, he understood that Aikari seems like he wants to end something this time. He didn't know how long will it would take. But he did believe that both of them could get through all of this.
The system began to reboot and their vision then became black.
And before they knew it, they then woke up inside of Hikari's castle. Both Hikari and Aikari woke up. They looked around and saw that the nurse and the doctor were shocked as they saw Hikari and Aikari finally woke up.
They both then gave Hikari and Aikari some water and asked about their condition. But Hikari and Aikari then told them that they're just doing fine. But he wondered what happened with the others. As he didn't remember much of what happened before he fainted.
The doctor then told Hikari and Aikari what happened.
(Flashback from a day ago.)
Hikari who was taking out his weapon suddenly lost his balance when he was about to charge at the enemy. Arithia, who saw that from afar, then ran towards him and told the soldiers to take Hikari to the infirmary. They got it and soon after, they saw Aikari faints too. They then began to wonder if anything happened to Hikari and Aikari before this. But as both of them headed to the infirmary, Arithia then took out her weapon and began to charge towards the enemy.
"Swoosh!"
There are not many enemies for Arithia, but her weapons is stored inside of the castle. So she just grabbed the nearby weapon and then fought the enemy using that weapon.
Her first attack caused the enemy to get split into two easily, but there were still more of them, so she then continued to fight to hold the enemy off. But the enemy that she is currently fighting, they're wearing an armor that looks like a knight. However, it doesn't seem like they wanted to protect something or even have a thought of doing so.
So what are they after? Arithia did believe that they had successfully made a bond with all the other world. But why is the war still happening? Why are there still a people who want to take over certain places? Or is it just because of they just love to kill people?
While Arithia is fighting, she keeps thinking about this. Why did the war always happen as they thought it was ending? Why do the people who are greedy to have a power still exist? Won't it be fine if all of them just understand each other and save each other? But why?
Arithia then thrust her weapon through the enemy and put it up, and at that time, she then realized something was wrong with the enemy. Because instead of them bleeding and dying like what did the others did, they somehow turned into an ashes and then those ashes gathered together and created another vessel. It looks like they're not going to die and that then just makes Arithia weird about it. Because if this kind of cycle keeps happening, the enemy won't die and they will all just keep reviving until all of them are out of energy to fight back.
Arithia could handle a lot of enemies alone, but she was worried about the guard who was fighting too. She was afraid that they would fall and die. She didn't want that to happen so she then told all of them to hold back their position. All of them seem to disagree with that, but since it was an order from their queen, they didn't have any choice but to follow it.
They all flew from the battlefield and escorted and defended Hikari and Aikari, who are still unconscious. They were thinking that was the that at least they could do for their Queen. Arithia might not tell them about it, but they know that was the thing that Arithia wanted them to do.
When Arithia was alone fighting with the armies, she then saw the dark ashes begin to gather together to regenerate again. Arithia feels tired, and she then begins to get some rest. However, as she closed her eyes for a second. She then saw a woman with a red cape in front of her. Arithia told the person to stay back, but then she saw what that person said.
"That weapon, I still haven't acquired. But one day, I will acquire it by making a bond with that person. Even without it, I still can do this."
The soldiers from the ashes have done generating and all of them are then about to strike at that woman, but that woman then casts a magic. As she held her hand forward.
"Forbidden magic release."
A big flame came out from the magic circle that the woman cast and wiped out all of the enemies in an instant. But the force of that magic is so strong that it caused a strong wind to be blown from that woman. Her cape that she was using to hide her identity also got blown by that and Arithia then saw a woman with pink hair in front of her. She thought that it might be a surprise for her, but she did recognize that person as she saw her hair and she then called that person.
"Hana?"
But that woman couldn't hear anything because of the sound of the strong wind. So she didn't reply to it.
Then after the magic stopped, that person then sighed and she then saw there was no sign of that black dust anywhere. So she then turned towards Arithia and asked if she was okay. Arithia, who was so shocked by that sudden appearance, then nods and smiles. She told that person that she wasn't expecting that kind of entrance but that it was good to know that she would help. Then with a smile Arithia then said.
"You did a good job, Hana."
Those words then caused Hana to get blushed by it. She just wanted to make a hero entrance on where the people wouldn't find out who she is. But it seems like she was wrong about that. Because she didn't expect that the cape would get blown away.
So Hana then changed the subject by asking Arithia if she knows where is Aikari and Hikari are. Arithia could see that, but she then just followed Hana.
"They're just fainting down by all of a sudden and we didn't know why. Since you asked, did you know anything about it?"
Hana then got near Arithia as she heard that. She then asked Arithia if she could take her to them because there is something that she thinks she can do about that. Arithia could see a worriness inside Hana's eyes. Maybe she did know something about it. So since everything seems fine for now, Arithia then agreed and brought Hana to where did Aikari and Hikari are.
"Hah.. hah..."
Arithia could hear that Hana was really tired. It seems like she was in a hurry of something. Arithia could see it by hearing the way she was breathing. Why is she in such a hurry? Is it something that is connected to the things that are happening?
"Tub!"
Arithia slammed the door and entered the room where Hikari and Aikari were supposed to have a treatment. They could see Hikari and Aikari had been put to the bed next to each other. While some doctors are examining about what is happening there, they saw Hirumi are sitting next to Aikari and are holding his hand while looking at him. But Hirumi turned towards Arithia and Hana as he heard the door slam.
When Hana saw Hirumi are doing so, for some reason she could feel something from Hirumi. But she didn't say anything about it, and she then went to the bed where Aikari was first.
