A Yangtaki was born there, wrapped in a spell cloth.

But he is unconscious.

If his memory is correct, Aikawa Yotaki's soul is asleep. It wouldn't wake up with just that one magic stone.

Naturally, Yotaki collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that, I feel a little bit relieved.

It was painful to have the magic stone taken away, but it wasn't a bad situation. It helped that the bottomless 'monster', the 'Primordial Kanami', was gone.

Now, all that's left is Palinclone.

When I turned my attention to Palinclone, he was rushing towards me with a twisted face.

''Tch!　Even if I throw in all the poison I've collected, just one magical stone will calm them down!　I would have liked to see you rampage more as a 'monster', though!

He tries to raise his sword to intercept the Palinkron.

However, a sudden weakness strikes you, and your knees almost break.

''--na!

I'll 'show' my status.

The 'display' in certain columns was crushed.

I can see that the 'display' is not keeping up with the unexpected situation.

And I can also see that my body is in danger.

The loss of balance in my body as the magical stone from 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Water' was removed. I lose a whole lot of qualities for one person and my status decreases.

The most abnormalities appeared in the skill column.

?　?????

Unique skill: pledge of the deepest (di-cavenator)--

'Freezing Magic' and 'Parallel Thinking' have completely disappeared.

Furthermore, 'Swordsmanship' has decreased.

After comparing it to the situation, I realized that these three were not my talents, but Yotaki's talents.

My knees didn't stop shaking while I was checking the situation, and I couldn't get the strength into my body properly.

It was due to the fact that I continued to fight a fierce battle and a lot of strength was taken out of me. With the change in the limit point, the body is no longer able to handle the fatigue that has accumulated in the body.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on the ......, body, but it's not moving. ......!　You say Yangtaki is there, but ......!

It was as if his body had suddenly turned into lead.

It was hard to even keep a grip on the sword.

Seeing this, Palinclone's face brightened.

''Haha!　But you've succeeded in breaking the affinity of the 'water logic' over there!　The ice in my body is melting!　'Brother's Body' and 'Sister's Soul' and 'Sister's Body' and 'Brother's Soul' - neither of these can be of any real value!

'You bastard ......, you've been after this all along: ......!

This must have been the true purpose of the 'World Consecration Squad' that Palinclone had prepared.

By separating me and Yotaki, I broke the balance of my body and sealed the power of both of them. If Hailey hadn't appeared and my mind remained weak, I would have lost my will to fight just by looking at this sleeping Yotaki.

Following the 'path' shown by Palinkulon, I might have been satisfied with my life of just following the 'path' shown by Palinkulon and continuing to take care of the sleeping Yangtaki in the frontier land.

''Haha, just like I promised, I just let you meet Aikawa Youtaki!　I'm a man who doesn't break promises in any way, I am!　An emotional sibling reunion!

Palinclone comes slashing at me with a black sword that changed Tida's magic stone.

I shout, forcing myself to exert myself and swing the sword.

''What a reunion!　I think you got the wrong guy!　You were trying to trick me with this!　You are!

The swords cross.

Both swords are light. But the power of the two people who were in a state of utter disarray happened to be at odds with each other.

We are in a battle of wits, and me and Palinkron's faces are close together.

We scream at each other eye-to-nose.

''But it's as promised, isn't it!''

That's called fraud!

Palinkron still laughs. But unlike not long ago, his eyes are serious. There is no longer any trickery or intrigue left, I guess. There's no room for spare time or anything else, and I can see that he's genuinely giving it his all.

The deception is over.

All that's left is to fight and win. It's a very simple scheme.

And I thought that simple scheme would be a must-win for me, but now I'm not feeling strong enough. The fatigue from the continuous battles without sleep is beginning to show. My magic and strength are close to empty. The loss of Yang Takibun's talent has caused my sense of 'swordsmanship' to be out of whack. Even if you try to use ”Dimensional Winter (Di Winter)”, you can't handle the cold air well.

-- the lowest conditions ever for Aikawa Kanami.

But it's the same for them.

I'm sure the fatigue is building up from the days spent running the battlefield as a general. In a series of battles with me, she was repeatedly seriously injured. He's just using his energy to move his dying body. With Tida's magic stone falling out, her overall ability value has been drastically reduced. The trick (gimmick) of the 'World Consecration Squad' that he had prepared was also out of material. The only thing left is a swordsmanship that is not so good at it.

--This is our best ever chance to kill Palinclone.

Me and Palinclone writhe and swing our swords while squeezing out the power.

''That's one magic stone at a time, even!　And just for this last battle, I'm not going to lose!

No, I'll win in the end!　Palinclon!

It's me that wins!　Canamii!

Both me and Palinkulon would have fallen now if we hadn't screamed.

We selfishly crossed swords and voices, trying to keep the momentum going and keep fighting.

Our bodies swim with each other as we wield with all our might.

Thanks to the will to fight, our attacks are sharp, but our bodies can't quite keep up with them. They stagger to each other and let their poor swords bounce repeatedly as they stumble back and forth. It becomes a muddled fight, like a fight between children.

The sword fights don't look good, and it's hard to say how cool both of them are.

Compared to the fight with Rowen, it's a far cry from that.

But even so, we will continue to do our best. We'll continue to scream.

”Hahahahahahahahaha, that's good!　Finally, I know what I'm really hoping for, just me!　I want to beat Kanami!　I didn't realize it was because it coincided with Legacy and Tida's wish to play!　Now that all the fog has cleared, I can see it clearly!　I want to win!　I just want to win!

Then I will do everything in my power to thwart your wishes!　You can't win this thing!　You'll die of remorse!　You're the one who needs to be more unhappy!

A pair of swords dance without stopping in a dark world where only the sun is white.

This is indeed the bottom of the world.

I thought that this shameful battle is the ”deepest place” that one can reach at the end of one's struggle.

In there, Palinkulon and I fight for what we cannot compromise.

The two of us will kill each other. No one else will stand in our way.

”Ha-ha, you won't let me win that easily?　How dare you do that with a body like that?　I should have been over the limit a long time ago!

'Of course!　'The Original Kanami' was moving beyond the limits for 'Yotaki'!　Then of course I would move beyond the limit for the sake of the 'Yotaki' that's lying there!

Perhaps - all along, Palinkron had been seeking this situation.

Aikawa Uzumi and Palinkulon. Aikawa Uzumi and Palinkulon.

So, he burns his life as if to say that this is life for this moment.

The crossing of swords and words accelerates.

''Is that a reason!　Haha, ciscoons are scary!

'Above all!　We can't hurt Yotaki any more, and this Yotaki's body, too!

But it's the same for me.

Yotaki is lying right there. In a short time, I will be able to hold my sister's hand.

My life is also for this moment. I have no hesitation in burning lives.

'Overwhelm me--!　Dimensional magic 'Dimension Decisive Operation (Gradiate)'!

The 'display' shows a decrease in maximum HP.

--HP89/26■--

--HP84/■57--

--HP■0/2.:3--

Life is draining away.

But I don't care. If I still have 200 more, that's enough.

I ignore the screams my soul makes and continue building magic.

Feeding on life, a realm of dimensional magic, the thickest ever, unfolds. I recognize everything within that realm. With the fragmented information in place, there is only one thing to think about.

The only thing I have to do is to defeat the enemy in front of me, Palinclone.

Thinking only of that, I will swing my sword with all my might--!

'It's over--!　Palinkulon!

The blue phosphorescence of the Straight Sword of Crescent Pectrazi gleams in the darkness.

It tears the black world apart and rages to shatter the black sword.

I move forward and Palinkron is forced to retreat.

'--Okay, ugh!　Why should I be the one to beat you?　Even though the conditions are the same between the ones that have broken their affinity with the 'magic stone': ......!

Palinkron wasn't convinced by that poor performance.

I've known the Palinkron for a long time. For the enemy's sake, I'll tell you why you're outnumbered.

I'll tell you why we've been able to come here and build the best dimensional magic we've ever seen.

'We are not united by affinity!　Not me!　Can't the true value of The One Who Steals the Reason of Dimensionality be realized because we are in different bodies?　--There's no way!　I'm Yotaki's brother!　There is no one in this world who can relate to Yotaki's body better than me!　We are the closest brother and sister in the whole world, in all dimensions!

Hearing that clear answer, Palinclone's smile deepened even more.

''Ha, ha!　Haha, hahahahahahaha!

And then, as if he can't lose for such a joke of a reason, he puts his strength back into it.

Palinkulon's sword flashes also become sharp.

Like an inferior hero, he squeezes out more of his base strength.

If that's the case, I'm not going to let you down!　We won't let it go until the end!　I'll win!　We're going to win, aaaa--!

As I thought, there was no way the Palinkron would end like this. Clothed in a frightening black and purple magic, it goes beyond its limits to fight back.

--But I knew that counterattack.

I had finished pointing out my final move based on the trust that Palinclone wouldn't end up like this.

The foundation stone is done. All that's left is for us to go beyond our limits and use the next magic.

The best magic I can use right now, ”Dimension Decisive Operation (Gradient)” - leading to the next--!

”'The deepest (di), pledge (kavenanter) aaaa--!　Give me back all my feelings for Yangtaki!

Once again, use the skill Di Cavernator.

I demand that you return it, not discard it.

The skill ”?? It's not all the negative feelings that were stolen by ?

It's not all negative emotions that were stolen by ? That overly rational way of organizing your emotions is a testament to the regret of the founder Kanami in the past. In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, and to avoid causing trouble for Tiara, it is proof that he decided to diminish his feelings for Yotaki until he reached the deepest point (skill).

-- As expected, the nostalgic and loving feelings return.

It's a skill '??' Every time you use the ”?” skill, your feelings for Yotaki are gradually chipped away. The love between brother and sister, which I thought was still full, increases in volume.

The first day of the labyrinth search was swept up in these emotions, and I was in a hurry.
