Vol 8 Epilogue (2/2)
”—I have already heard Iris Freyja's account of how Kraken Zwei turned back to hu her into your mate—you had turned her into a human like yourself”
”Y-Yes But that's purely speculation”
Unable to control the faltering in ht up
”Simultaneous to when youteaon marks turned blue, apparently Even Ariella Lu and the others, ere farther away in position, also had their dragon marks turn from purple to blue”
”What The area of effect was so wide”
Iris was the only one I had ht that Kraken Zwei's dragon ht in the wake next to Iris—But never did I expect even Lisa and the rest of the girls to be affected
”After you made contact with Iris Freyja and Kraken Zwei, the colors of their dragon marks had vanished Their bodies also show no anomalous syon ed color is as yet uncertain, you will be placed in isolation for now”
shi+nomiya-sensei calmly explained the situation to me
”Oh So that's why I was sleeping in what looks like a jail cell”
I co out the situation shi+noetic expression
”Sorry, I do not wish to subject you to imprisonment when clearly you are—my niece's savior”
”No, please don't feel bothered I believe your judgment is correct, shi+nomiya-sensei, because I also don't understand what happened—or what I've done”
I laughed wryly and turned on mark on my left hand
Perhaps reacting to the girls' dragon ht color of blue
By turning Iris and Kraken Zwei into ”my kind,” that did not necessarily mean they had becoht be from now on
”Personally, I'd like to touch Yuu as soon as possible—to let him turn me into his real mate I'll simply break this ”
However, Kili shrugged nonchalantly and stared at thehalf-seriously
”Kili-san, please do not act on impulse and cause destruction I am the one ants to confirm Nii-san's safety directly”
While warning Kili, Mitsuki also showed ietically
”Y-You're right Sorry Mitsuki-chan”
”Why is it you, instead of Kili-san, who is apologizing to me, Iris-san?
”B-Because I touched Mononobe first Actually you should be first, Mitsuki-chan—No, you should be the only one”
Iris looked down and placed her hand over her dragon mark on her flank
”Iris-san, here you go with such words again I have repeated myself many times already, Nii-san and Iris-san will—
”N-No! Mononobe and Mitsuki will—”
Iris and Mitsuki started to repeat a dispute as before
”H-Hey, you two—”
I frantically tried to stop them, but with theand wall in the way, I could only shout at them
”Hey, Mononobe-kun”
Firill quickly approached theand called to me quietly
”Byme It means that you have resolved yourself properly to becoht?”
”Uhh”
I was rendered speechless by her serious gaze Even though it was unintentional, the fact I marked her was the truth, so I could not deny it
”Wait, Firill, I feel sorry for Mononobe-kun if you force him like that”
However, overhearing the conversation, Ariella came over and defended me
”Mm Onii-chan feels troubled”
Ren also joined in the rescue from behind Ariella
”Oh Then you two don't need Mononobe-kun to take responsibility for you?”
Nevertheless, Firill grinned irls to act aardly
”No, umm I'd also hope he'd take a bit of responsibility”
”No problem Onii-chan is a responsible man”
Ariella scratched her face in embarrassment whereas Ren looked me with eyes filled with trust
”That's right! Yuu will take Tia as wife! Right, husband?”
Even Tia joined in at this tiathered on me
”Uh, umm”
The pressure fro me break out in cold sweat At this h theand declared as though pouring fuel on the fire
”Mononobe Yuu! I will have you know that I intend for you to take responsibility foret married!?”
”I-I understand Responsibility aside, I'll definitely find a solution for the bottom problem no matter what!”
I frantically nodded and agreed For some reason, Lisa's face remained red
”D-Do not use such a weird description!”
”But Lisa, you're the one who brought it up, right!?”
While ere talking noisily like this, Iris and Mitsuki, ere arguing in the background, looked over to us in surprise
”Hey Mitsuki-chan, this doesn't feel like the ti to each other”
”My sentiht develop into a bad direction”
After such an exchange, the two girls laughed at the same time
”Ahaha What are we doing?”
”Fufu—Indeed To think that ere trying to decide on our own like fools”
A murky situation with an unknown future ahead of us
However, for so like that, I could not help but sht now
That night—inside the large transport helicopter heading to Midgard—the task that Tia Lightning had been carrying out cautiously so far, synchronization with Yggdrasil, was finally complete
Sitting in their seats, everyone else was asleep, leaning on one another's shoulder Despite resting her head against Lisa next to her, Tia opened her eyes slightly and started to search for information
”Black” Vritra had co on hu to knohy
Data Searching—
With the sound of sparks, lightning flashed around Tia's horns
Throwing herself into an overwhel flood of infor information
—Dragon Gaia—infinite prison of realons—
Eight past calamities—crises of destruction—
The flood of infornals, projected ies of calamities in Tia's mind
Iradually built
First was the infernal realon—”hell” Gehenna
Next was the visitor transcending infinity The Second Dragon—”Ultimate Wisdom” Atlantis
Third was the twilight devouring the Gods The Third Dragon—”True Obliteration” Ragnarok
Fourth was the unstoppable quaking The Fourth Dragon—”Heavy Tremor” Nova
Fifth was absolute life of singular coevity” Bahamut
Sixth was chaos of indeteron—”Anomalous Dawn” Nyarlathotep
Seventh was a surging swell of violence The Seventh Dragon—”Disasterification” Apocalypse
Eighth isdoon—”Transcendent Soul” Humanoid
Then, future destruction A promised conclusion—
The Ninth Dragon—!
”!!”
After co, Tia opened her eyes
Then she noticed the presence of the girl sitting opposite her, staring at her the entire time
The black-haired girl whose body was imprisoned by a plant's vine—Vritra—spoke to her in a solemn tone of voice
”'Tis apparent Thou hast finally grasped the situation”
Tia nodded silently She could not speak because the truth was too shocking
As though reading Tia's mind, Vritra continued:
”Yes—Time is in short supply”
Residing in the girl's eyes was despair towards the inescapable future
”Very soon, all life on Gaia shall face extinction—Destroyed by a true dragon”
Afterword
This is Tsukasa It'll be April by the time this Volume 8 of Unliht nohen I' cold, I really hope the weather will get warmer sooner
However, there will be pollen in the air during spring, right? For someone likeis such a happy yet suffering season
Then in April, the anime's broadcast would have ended How did you feel about the world of Fafnir depicted by the ani Iris, Mitsuki and the others in motion I also found it very enjoyable to learn about the anime production process
Due to the limited edition of this Volu me a very valuable experience Because this volu fun and relaxing as much as possible, to craft a story that people could listen to again and again Ani voice actors perform a script written by the screenplay writer, but for a drama CD, the story I wrote would beco the recording process My heart was pounding uncontrollably the whole time
Even the sa on different acting I was truly surprised to learn that so much information was packed into every syllable And in anies is acharacter infor to their sense of presence
Then during the developained was the chance to interact and ith so many different people
If you stick to writing novels, you basically interact with just your editor alone, thus only getting a blurry understanding of the broader industry But this tih to be invited to s with my own eyes I will continue to work hard so that I can continue to interact with the world like this!
—Oh, it feels like I' an impressions essay It's time for ht not be enough space left
This Volu point where I wroteto do since a long tio
Next, many mysteries will be unraveled and the story will develop towards an even greater climax, so please look forward to Volume 9
