It's not just magic power that gets intertwined.

Consciousness is also intertwined, dissolving and blending together.

It was a terrifying sensation as if my soul was being stripped from my body, but for me, it was the third time.

What awaits us after the ”Prequel (Recall)” (Dimension Graduate) has reached its peak.

It's just a space where there is nothing but consciousness.

Not long ago, I remember calling this place the 'Inter-dimensional Space' and 'Inter-lineage'.

I will use my previous experience to keep my ego in check and reaffirm what I am to see from now on. This is a place that has escaped not only the concept of time, but also the logic of the world.

There is nothing that cannot be seen.

--From now on, I'm going to read the story of the Aikawa siblings before they wandered into another world.

When you read it, it's the story of the end of everything.

If it were a book, it would be the final chapter. No, the last volume. It's a book where there's no more to follow, where the ending can't be helped no matter how unsatisfying it is, and where you're forced to just accept it.

'--hahaha,'

I laughed in a space where my voice was not supposed to be heard.

The way I thought started to resemble Tiara - or rather, Las Tiara, and the way I laughed started to resemble Ragne. I was dismayed at how easily I was influenced by others, but along with the will I inherited from everyone else, ”That's me too,” I moved forward, regardless of whether it was in a space with no concept of distance.

With a sense of what is waiting for me in the future, I move forward, forward, forward...

I don't really know the truth anymore, even if I don't hear it or read it, but I'm aware of the faint truth.

Once I died, I read bits and pieces of it.

Within the Winter's Otherworld (Wintry Dimension), Tiara read me the story that followed.

Still, I decided to read them in order.

Why did I have the ”curse”?

It's not the 'unrequited love' that Yotaki has, but the real 'unrequited love'.

In order to read them one by one in order, I try to reach out towards the 'past'.

''--Hihihi.''

Before he could do so, he heard the laughter of a girl who wanted to read that book more than anyone else.

There was no way she couldn't come out.

A soul, more accustomed to this afterlife like space than I am, came forward to be that last 'reading' reader.

And before I can hear a response, Tiara begins to read. Like a child who can't stand it anymore, innocently, joyfully, she takes the book in her hands - no, there is no Tiara's body here, and there is no book made of paper. It's not a space where such an understandable substance can be found. But, indeed, now Tiara, at the end of her long, long 'adventure', has obtained her reward and has begun to read it.

That book is the beginning of our siblings, and for her, the softest part of her heart.

Tiara mercilessly reads out the part of the human heart that everyone hides, the 'darkest part of the human heart'.

'Err... ......?　Heehee. Once upon a time, there was a brother and sister who were very, very unhappy with each other--

It reads like a joke, but I guess it's her way of showing affection.

I'm not going to stop Tiara anymore.

Above all, after this long - really long - battle, I was tired.

I didn't even have the strength left to argue with anyone anymore, so I slowly took a distance and sat down a little farther away. Then I clenched my left hand tightly. Of course, this wasn't exactly accurate either.

In this particular place, everything is so uncertain, so metaphorical, so vague.

Without the concept of distance, there would be no place to sit, no hand to hold. But certainly, I thought I was holding ”her” hand here.

I held the ”her” book, which was not supposed to be there, to my heart, and just listened attentively and listened.

The tiara doesn't even pay attention to me anymore.

I was absorbed in reading.

Reading a book in a place like this.

She's just like me. Probably, but he's worse than me.

He abandoned his master (Kanami), he abandoned himself (Rustyala), he abandoned the world (everything), and he can only see Aikawa Yotaki anymore. The scary thing is that he decided to do so, not by 'curse' but by his own will.

''This is fine ......, Rustyala. Now we're already ......--

Tiara uncovers (read) Yotaki's mind.

Me and 'her' hold hands and listen to it.

This is the end of the story.

We have finally arrived at the end of the story.

The end of the other world's exile tale coincides with the beginning of a story about a brother and sister.

Starting from the first page, from the childhood, in that order.

This time, I hope that we can all feel the same way about 'All Together'...

◆◆◆◆◆

”-- 'Born Different (・・・・・・・・)'.

It was always the starting point of the story.

So the story of this brother and sister also starts from 'born with a difference'.

However, in this world, the master - ah, the 'Aikawa Uzumi' who arrived in the other world, called it 'Inborn Skill (・・・・・)', so you need to be a little careful.

It literally refers to a power (thing) that is different from others from the time one is born.

That 'innate difference' was all that made up the Youtaki sister - the anomaly called 'Aikawa Youtaki'.

In other words, ”When did that Yotaki start being so strong? If you ask me, the 'answer' is that it is from birth.

It is a terribly simple, unreasonable disparity without reason.

Only one 'lord of another world' had a reason for the incomprehensible metaphor, ”the fear of the 'world' itself”, without any evidence: .......

-- without a doubt, 'innate differences' was the beginning of the girl named Aikawa Yotaki.

She was truly blessed by birth.

Not only was her talent, but her natural environment was extraordinary.

She was born into one of the world's top wealthy families, and her parents were world-renowned figures.

Even if this environment did not have much of an impact on the girl named Yotaki, there was no doubt that her family was the envy of everyone. Their residences were located in several of Tokyo's most prominent high-rise buildings, all of which had a car stationed at the house to transport them to and from work, promising a life free of the troubles of having trouble with things.

However, what is important now is that Yotaki was born with an unusually fast-growing ego, and his parents had given him a private room at his request.

This was the only thing that mattered.

When she hadn't even received a primary education yet, she was given a space all to herself.

And she easily arrived at it.

At that time, she didn't have a single thinking skill such as 'parallel thinking' yet, but with her innate intelligence alone, Yotaki was able to figure out that she herself had a constitution that sucked 'demon poison'.

At that time, Yotaki didn't know the name 'Demon Poison', so she called it 'unknown substance' or 'my own personal haze' - but anyway, she noticed 'it (...)'.

It didn't take her more than a few minutes to train and become able to clearly recognize the 'Demon Poison' with her eyes.

It only took a few tens of minutes to interfere with and control the 'Demon Poison'.

It took a day to successfully convert it and absorb it into his own body.

After leaving the hands of his overprotective and greedy parents, Yotaki became convinced in just one day that he was special, not because he was born into the Aikawa family, but because of who he was.

And then she rejoices and laughs to the fullest by herself.

'-- I knew this haze was all 'mine'!　Hmph, hmph!

A haze that had always seemed ghostly since birth, but no one believed in it.

Knowing the true meaning of it, the young girl, who was a single digit in age, was so excited that she let out an age-appropriate laugh.

There was still not much stuff in the private room she had just been given.

There were only minimal educational toys and furniture, but it was already a great playroom for her.

She played and played and played and played all by herself, using the 'Demon Poison' that drifted around like a fog in the room.

And as soon as the 'Demon Poison' in the room faded, she immediately climbed onto the bed by the window with her eyes shining.

'Bam!'

I unlocked the double lock and, with a shout, opened the window with great vigor.

Immediately a cold wind blows in. Her hair was snatched away and she closes her eyes for a moment. However, the next time she opened her eyes, her vision was filled with 'demonic poison'.

The empty room is refilled with new 'Demon Poison'.

''Hmph, hmph!　Haha, hahaha--!

There's more.

There is still more to play with.

The reason for this is spreading out of the window.

The Aikawa family lives near the top of a high-rise building that resembles a tower. Leaning up from that window, Yotaki reaffirms the scenery outside - the 'world' he was born into.

''Wow. ......!''

The time was night.

Stardust was glowing.

Not just above, but below.

Countless electric lights twinkled on the cluster of skyscrapers that lined the sky.

The artificial light in the city made the natural starry sky completely invisible. But instead, I felt as if I was floating in a sea of stars.

Most of all, Yotaki was moved by the fact that there was an unplayable amount of 'demonic poison' floating around in the 'world'.

''This is 'my world' .......

Of course, it's not as if it's as dense as the 'other world' she'll reach after these years.

The amount is not enough to make the world sick, but enough to allow it to circulate normally. It's a small category compared to the many ”worlds” she will know from now on.

-- but a monopoly has been created.

Because there was no competition, all the 'demonic poisons' were Yotaki's.

And she had the capacity to absorb that one world's worth of them.

--This is how Youdaki was promised to walk the ”most special life in this world”.

Blessed with good fortune, Yotaki was able to get anything she wished for.

Thanks to the house he was born into, he never had to worry about money. Moreover, she was not bothered by even intangible talents that money couldn't get.

Even rare talents such as athletics, studies, and acting were obtained by converting the 'Demonic Poison'. In other words, while the whole world was stuck at level one, only one person was able to level up endlessly. Indeed, everything in this world was supposed to be her freedom - but there was one thing that was inconvenient.

That was her playmates.

Although within the narrow scope of pre-school childhood, Yotaki was chronically lacking in 'equal' partners.

Even if the opponent was a child with the world's greatest talent, if he got a little serious and used the 'Demon Poison', he could win. Against another genius of the same age, youtaki was winning and winning and winning and winning, and as he continued to win, he had no one to compete against.

Yotaki lightly regretted that he had devoured the experience of winning with lust.

However, she doesn't regret it.

This level of inconvenience was something she could have predicted in advance.

Therefore, Yotaki was cautious, not in a hurry.

If she could tell someone about the existence of the 'Demon Poison', this inconvenience would be easily resolved. But she was not foolish enough to let go of her own advantage. She knew that it was wisest to monopolize it on her own rather than to hide it or share it.

With the morals of today's world, it's unlikely, but in some cases, there's even the risk of becoming a test subject (guinea pig). Taking the risk of turning the world into an enemy (risk) is a fool's errand.

That's what Yotaki thought, and she never left the human category - but within the human category, she continued to play the best girl she could think of.

That's the smartest, funniest, happiest life you can have. In fact, as a child, Yotaki was so happy and joyful in life that she really enjoyed it.

But there's no one to share that excitement with for a long time.

Even though he knew it was that kind of 'compensatory' power, his dissatisfaction with the inconvenience slowly built up.

Yotaki at this time is still a small child.

His height was only around the waist of an adult. Because he was just a child, he was still able to feel the emotion of loneliness (...).

So, first of all, Yotaki turned to his family.
