The fight is over.

I walk alone and approach Ayd and Titi. Snow is keeping an eye on Dea and Yotaki as they lay in the grass. He seems to anticipate that this is the last time the guardians (guardians) will be left alone with the three of us, who are well acquainted.

When they see me approaching, the first thing Ayde does is smile and talk to me.

'That was ...... brilliant. That's it. As of today, the seat of the 'ruling king (Lord)' is vacant and the apostle who was his guardian is gone. This battle of Vieisia will be over.

And Titi, next to it, followed.

That's no longer an unrequited love for children. ...... The only thing that's left is Nosfy.　But I think the only person who can do that is Kanamin. All right, Kanamin, make sure that you make your boy friend, Nosfi, happy.　I'm asking for it!

'Well, uh, ......, I'll try,'

He asked me to do something ridiculous at the end, and I had to give him a look of annoyance. And Titi snorted in frustration.

The other thing is that it's a matter for Kanamin and the others. I'm not going to go any further.

However, despite the snarl, Titi's face is radiant. You can tell from the expression on her face that she's not complaining enough to say it with her mouth.

''The child believes in both Kanami and Nosfi from the bottom of his heart, you know!　I'm so proud of you both!

She tells me that as long as I'm here, she's safe.

I nodded back, though my face was still troubled, to see her off without any undue trust in me.

Titi nods happily at that, ”Mmhmm,” and the id next to me laughs and congratulates her.

''Fufu, you've made a friend in that sister ....... I'm a little jealous.''

What do you mean?　Aide must be friends with Kanamin, too!

Hearing my sister's words, Ayd and I look at each other in amazement.

And I'm immediately convinced that the words are true.

The funny thing is that there was indeed a goofy friendship between us, as if we had beaten each other up under the setting sun. Sensing this friendship, Ayd looks really happy.

'It seems so ....... Unexpectedly, it seems that I got everything I wanted from coming here ....... Ah, 'here' is still great .......

Aide shows an emotional face that looks like he's about to cry now. Naturally, as a guardian (guardian), his figure fades with the loss of his 'unfinished business'.

If you look closely, the same was true for Titi next to him.

'Oi, you two ......!　My body is ......!

”We're honestly broke and empty!　And the magic, but not the regrets!　Hence, it looks like it's over!　So-and-so!

Anticipating the disappearance, he first waved a hand at Snow in the distance.

There is no shade to his expression. He accepts that his own existence is being diluted, as if he were melting into the air.

''Are you already ...... saying goodbye to me?''

If possible, I would have liked to talk with the three of us a bit more. All the gaps had been filled in at last, but the final hours were too short. That's what I thought, but Titi seemed to be different. She shook her head.

'No, Kanamin. No,” she said, ”not anymore. This time of 'now' is never short. There is a moment in time longer than a thousand years in the 'now' and 'here' ....... Certainly in the 'here' .......

With both of her narrowed eyes, Titi looked around at the surrounding landscape.

Looking at the landscape of Viaissia reflected by the magically constructed homeland of the ”Cherry Blossom Paradise” (Idle End Titi), she asserted that it is filled with things that are worthy of eternity.

It's the place where the irreplaceable value lies - Titi's cheeks are red and her mouth is wide open in delight.

'At last the child is living in the child's time. ......!　We're running out of time!　It wasn't like that falling, accelerating millennia!　A sure time is 'here'!　I am convinced that the child now lives a second longer than a thousand years!

Then I sat down, arms outstretched, and took a breath of this hometown air.

Enjoying it, he tells me how wonderful it is.

'Oh, it's awesome ......!　The world is a beautiful place!　It's colored!　Time is shining!

Time shines - it was a feeling I couldn't keep up with, but my brother next to me seemed to be different.

'Hmmm, I guess so ....... Indeed, I feel like I'm finally alive. The faded world of yesterday is so vivid that it's a lie ...... and my eyes are getting misty.

They seemed satisfied.

Then I had no choice but to smile and watch their bodies fade away.

Now, the two of them have completely dissolved their 'unconsciousness'. I can't call them back any longer. The only thing left to do is to say goodbye to them--

Then, um, Kanamin!　Thank you for showing me the way here!

'I am truly grateful, Master Uzumi. I hope you will be able to return to your home too.

When they thanked me, I gave them a small wave after a few moments of hesitation.

I say goodbye to the two of them as their bodies are beginning to show through and the trees on their backs.

'Yeah, bye bye ....... Both of you .......

The eternal goodbyes are over.

Then, sitting down, Titi and Ayde hold hands to stay together until just before they disappear.

They hold each other's hands, saying they will never let go again, and spend their last moments as sisters and brothers.

''Fufufu, the quintessential sister ....... Thank you for one day's reward, 'now' and 'here' .......

Hmm. At last, the children have returned to the 'here and now' ....... But I'm sorry. We are very late. ......

'But we made it in time: ....... I made it in time. Thank you, thank you ...... for your ”reward.” ...... I won't let go of ...... anymore ......--

Even a child can't keep his hands off ....... No more ...... and never again ......--

As the body disappears, the voice becomes choppy and disconnected.

Their last conversation was about a promise made a thousand years ago - 'Reward'.

Perhaps because the two of them were nostalgic for the past, the two figures from when they were children seemed to overlap in their thinning adult bodies.

The dancing particles of magic power - my Dimension is probably reading the memories packed in that light.

I see a green-haired harpure girl and a white-haired Doriade boy, the

Two children hold hands and cuddle together under the 'White Cherry Tree (Pieris Aysia)' tree that once promised them a reward.

'This, the meadow ......--it smells so nostalgic--is ....... Ayd, the sky is blue--Iyet ......--

'Yes. It was such a--the world was beautiful, wasn't it? It was very ......, the breeze was nice, the wind was nice--it is ......--

A voice that is being snatched away.
