episode_0033

In a time that seems to stretch like eternity.

The moment when you try to grasp something that is slowly starting to organize in your head.

There was a hand holding my leg with a trembling hand.

Thump!

I looked at that earnest gesture.

“… Albit?”

“Seon, senior… !”

Albit said with a face completely pale due to the black fog.

“Run away―!!”

“… !”

“We… ! I can’t run… I feel like I’m going to die… ! therefore… !”

A girl with tearful brown eyes.

She was truly trying to save me now.

What comes to mind are images of daily life that I once saw.

“Run—!!!”

I’m happy.

Angry.

I feel sad.

Cheers.

What I watched… Your daily life was always sincere.

The girls living in this world were always sincere.

“… ”

I saw my juniors trembling in fear.

‘Albit, Lotta, Kara… ‘

Was I sincere with you?

I was wearing a mask called ‘Clara’…

‘What I wanted to do for you… ‘

I wanted to give you love, hope and friendship.

I wanted to let people know about the beauty and shining hearts that exist in this world.

I wanted to see the ending of the story with the most brilliant teachings in mind.

I am not the player who raises you…

‘… I was your senior.’

The moment you realize it.

The masks I had worn so far were taken off.

There was only one sincerity left in the name of ‘Senior’.

“… I see.”

I carefully set Rota down on the floor.

“… !”

Lotta looked as if he was prepared for something.

With tears streaming down my face, I nodded and bit my lip.

But something she had decided would not come true.

Arbit and Kara’s cries softly hit my ears.

“Hurry!! Run away—!!”

“Run away… ! please… !”

The children, who had always been confident and energetic, were shaking with fear.

But even in the swamp of fear, they were trying to save me.

‘Even if it’s [Faded Spiral] or [Foolish Senior Clara]… ‘You are trying to protect me.’

As Frida said.

The flower that bloomed when you and I met…

It was truly beautiful.

‘Then I guess I have to show my sincerity.’

I wiped Lotta’s tears.

Then she perks up and pricks her cat ears.

He reprimands me with his eyes, asking why he doesn’t run away.

I said while caressing Lotta’s cheek.

“Don’t worry.”

“… Senior?”

“Senior… !”

“Senior… comrades… !”

“… I’ll show you guys.”

Juniors sitting on the floor and looking at me.

Their eyes were full of questions.

Why don’t you run away?

Aren’t you a helpless [Faded Spiral]?

Fooled by the mask I wore, their true feelings are conflicting.

“I’m sorry… Until now.”

I decided to answer that question only with action.

“From now on, please watch [Spiral] progress.”

“… !”

“… !”

“… !”

My [spiral] is still shining.

‘But you can’t win with 100%.’

Following my instinctive pull, I walked towards the black crystals scattered around. And I picked up the biggest one among them.

Sigh-

The size of a human head.

A crystal with a heavy appearance.

Inside, I could feel the ether where the followers of had kidnapped and gathered together countless students.

‘I feel it. Where does this ether come from?’

Strangely enough.

At the same time as deciding to do something.

I feel something beyond that I have never felt before.

I can feel beyond the ether, the force that makes up this world.

‘Then I…’ ‘

I put [basic ether] into the crystal that contains so much ether.

Rather than chasing the right answer.

Following the path of the heart.

It just contains ether.

surprisingly… It reacted with my ether without any problems.

Two years after arriving in this world.

[Basic ether] was contained in an object for the first time.

That was a long way back.

I said to Albit with a proud smile.

“[basic ether]… I finally succeeded!”

“… !”

Albit’s brown eyes were getting bigger.

Paste–

A crystal that instantly reacts with my ether and disintegrates.

I can feel the ether of hundreds of students inside.

I can feel their memories, hearts, and love that make up the world.

“… ”

The kidnapping incident that saved Lotta.

Many students who were caught up there.

The kidnapping case was resolved safely, and the women became free.

Their ether remained in the hands of .

‘I’m glad this ether is not your keepsake.’

I was grateful for that.

The path of following my sincerity was a path that was brighter than the original answer.

‘I’m glad I was able to protect your brilliant school life.’

From the beginning, I was following my truth more than the correct answer.

‘To the sky that made me realize all of this… Thank you.’

so…

I am in the ether left behind by the kidnapped girls.

I dared to ask you to join me.

If it’s not 100%, let’s get everyone’s strength and rush in with 200% strength.

If 200% is not possible, let’s move forward with 300% of everyone’s hearts.

‘It’s just a story about grit… !’

but.

This world originated as a game, but it is not a game.

Let’s forget about probability and correct answers.

every.

forget it

heart.

Follow.

Passs――

The crystal disintegrates.

Ether spreading like dust.

Then they stick to my body.

It slowly glows pink and begins to dance.

Numerous pink ethers appear, dispelling the black fog.

In response, hundreds of black crystals around it disintegrate.

What takes this place is pink.

All ether in a radius of several tens of meters reacts to my heart.

A true world power that is different from the state of non-existence.

“Heart… strength… !”

Like the spiral flower that was created when you and I met.

Like the school uniform that one girl kept alone.

Like the cherry blossoms that bless girls’ beginnings on a late spring day.

Like the peach blossoms at the moment when the story of heroes began a long time ago.

Past and future.

Past life and present life.

The color of everything I’ve ever loved was pink.

“My soul’s name is… [Spiral].”

Everyone watching what I am doing is shocked.

Even the [Priest of Erosion] loosened his grip and looked on in confusion.

All I could do was open my mouth and stare in surprise at the sudden action.

“… !”

“… ?!”

Ether is the power of [fate] that constitutes the world.

Embracing someone else’s ether is foolish.

The external ether, which was not the ether that had been built up on its own, was no different from impurities.

Unless you are , who changed his existence by praying to the dragon.

Putting hundreds of other people’s ether into one’s body… It’s no different from suicide.

Everyone who knows this fact shouts.

“Senior―!!”

“What are you doing!! Stop it right now-!!”

“Pink hair… ?! What are you doing!?”

“I… Line?!”

As expected.

There is a cost to being foolish.

Grumble-

Hot nosebleeds pour out in an instant.

For the first time in a long time, I feel the bitter taste of blood in my mouth.

My heart is pounding as if I drank a box of coffee.

But instead of showing it off, he just goes ahead and declares it.

Because it is still not enough to exceed 100%… I declare, accepting all the ether around me.

“My soul’s name is [Spiral]… ! The color of the soul… [Pink]… !”

Quaaa――!!

Pink ether spreads tens of meters around.

They want to lend me their power without hesitation.

It seems as if they support my choice as right.

I can now produce 200% strength.

But just receiving 200% power.

My whole body is screaming and telling me to stop right now.

My heart is racing and my whole body feels like it might explode at any moment.

In that case, you need to pull yourself together.

‘It’s still not enough… !’

Kwaaang—!

I will take a step forward.

Kwaaang-!!

With each step I take, all the black crystals around me float and float. The hearts and ethers of the sleeping girls react and add to it.

The [Priest of Erosion] was surprised by that one step.

“Pfft—!!”

As the most cautious executive, he reacts quickly to abnormal situations.

He hastily threw away Eir and was about to return to the main body.

“Kuh?!”

Eir quickly takes his stance, but looks in this direction and is surprised.

“[pink spiral]… !!”

[Priest of Erosion] quickly wriggles his whole body and prepares for change.

“What is this ether?! It’s a color that didn’t appear in the prophecy?!”

ah.

The guy is embarrassed for the first time.

‘You didn’t know about my existence.’

It seems that Clara and I were not included in that brilliant prophecy.

How can we predict a messy spiral?

If so, let me know now.

my existence.

my name

my soul

my form.

The way I move forward.

It is [spiral].

For the first time in this world, I expressed my true feelings. I cried out and said, pulling out all the overwhelming love and realization from deep within my heart.

“I am—!! Academy City is the strongest!! It’s [Pink Spiral]-!!”

“… !”

“Senior!!”

“Spiral..!!”

Actually, I wanted to fight with everyone.

Actually, I want to tell a somewhat honest story.

Actually, I still wanted to beat Hilde.

‘The true strongest… ‘I want to be!!!’

I am 100% more sincere than I have ever been.

200% stronger than before.

300% more perfect than the previous path.

A fist that goes on the most perfect trajectory than any fist I’ve ever thrown. And it was a step taken with the most honest heart. They all react and begin to glow.

Right now.

The entire space was dyed pink.

Everything within a radius of several hundred meters turned pink.

pink.

It is the most honest color.

lemon.

It’s the most refreshing finish.

Sherbet.

that…

『Clara! Let’s all go to a cafe and eat delicious sherbet together later!”

… memory.

I packed it all into my fist and threw it out.

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of hearts are created by receiving 300% of hearts.

It receives the nearly infinite power of everyone and amplifies it dozens of times.

‘An attack I couldn’t have done if I were alone!’

like that.

With the hearts left behind by countless girls.

A huge spiral hundreds of meters long made of infinite hearts was launched.

“Choi Jong Oh!!! pink!! lemon!! Sherbet――!!!”

Kwahiah Ahhhh!

Let there be light.

This is a greeting and farewell from the strongest of Academy City’s past.

The huge pink flash is the crystallization of immeasurable feelings and memories.

The spiral pouring out of the fist is a universe in which the girl’s love is infinitely engraved.

Kugugugugung――!!!

The ominous energy and earth around you are shattered and sucked into a pink universe. Those around them hurriedly flee the scene and hide themselves from the storm of destruction.

Was the problem caused by adjusting the scope to prevent children from getting caught up?

Or was it a great price to pay for borrowing the world’s secrets at will?

I felt terrible pain for a moment.

“Kuhhh… ?!”

I’m crying!!

Blood pours from the nose and mouth.

The veins in the limbs burst and bruises appear.

However, even in the pain that seems to gnaw away at one’s soul, one looks clearly at the enemy.

look at me here

Now I am a spiral.

It is a pink flash of destruction.

Kwagwagwagwagwa–!!

A pink storm clouds the view, and the earth rises.

Everything in a radius of hundreds of meters in front of the fist is destroyed and disappears.

The pink pillar deletes everything that threatens the girls.

A spiral where everything disappears into the moment.

But he was still alive even in the pink storm.

It was holding on by cutting through the nearly infinite ether.

Kuooo――!!

[Priest of Erosion] was born to me by heavenly luck… He survived despite being hit by the final five-fold amplification several orders of magnitude.

Grrr!!

The roar of a dragon.

The thing was returning to its original form.

Even within the gigantic spiral pillar, it gradually reveals itself.

The four wings block the moonlight and cover the darkness of dawn.

An ominous dragon that looks like a centipede with hundreds of horns stuck into its body.

I checked it out.

“… !”

Taaa!!

I just jumped up and prepared for a second attack.

Oh oh oh oh–!!

The [Priest of Erosion] had completely adjusted his posture even in an incomplete transformation, and was raising a large figure tens of meters in size in the air. It opened its mouth completely and was about to spit out ominous black ether in this direction.

‘If you fly in the sky like this, the attack range… !’

That moment.

Eir jumped out from under the dragon’s shadow.

Her grotesque sword was tinged with scarlet flames.

Ta-tat–!!

Eir rushed towards the dragon that appeared in an instant.

What the sword depicts is a flower wheel like the wheel of the chariot of the old gods.

It was a flame of pruning that could purify even the distortion of the world tree.

Sigh–!!

Eir drew a sword stroke resembling a giant flower wheel towards the dragon’s ship.

“[Jeon Jeong Hwaryun]――!!!”

The name is [Trajectory].

The way the girl moves on.

The wheel of flame turns.

Ssssttt

Spinning of girl in black leather coat.

It became a huge firework hundreds of meters in size.

The huge flower wheel rotated countless times, chipping off the dragon’s scales.

Card deuk deuk deuk!!

Wow~!!

“Aaaah!!!”

My eyes are bloodshot and I use all my strength.

Eir also swung his sword with determination that went beyond his limits.

I stretched out my fist toward the point where the dragon and the wheel of flame intersected.

The pink spiral appeared again and became a storm.

I approached the dragon wearing that huge flash of light.

And a quick attack.

“Jong-Oh Choi――!!! pink!! lemon!! Sherbet ugh――!!!”

A spiral that spreads out.

Kwahiah Ahhhh!

Kuooo!!!

A huge flower wheel dances.

The pink flash sings.

The black dragon howls in the light of dawn.

‘Even though I was attacked in an incomplete transformation state, I still haven’t died…’ !’

The evil dragon prepared the most insidious trap.

It was slowly trying to escape from the most absurd miracle.

If I ran away like this, it was obvious that they would prepare an even more insidious trap.

‘At this moment… ! Unless it is now when all miracles have happened!! ‘I’ll never catch you!!’

The dragon spread its huge wings and was slowly flying into the air.

Eir could no longer approach the dragon and fell to the ground.

“Damn――!!!”

“… ”

Even if I die here.

To prevent those left behind from struggling with irrationality.

I was determined to burn everything.

Even 300% is not enough.

I spun around in the sky with a pink spiral on my right hand. The drawing of a fist wrapped around a pink spiral is a huge pink spiral.

Paaa!!!

A giant spiral path that goes round and round.

It chases the evil dragon while drawing a pink spiral across the dim sky of dawn.

I can no longer see ahead.

My mind is blank and I feel like I’m going to drift away at any moment.

It felt like I was being swept away by a force.

Even if it looks dangerous.

My heart was aiming for the heart of that evil dragon.

Eventually, the spiral with its mind covered the vast sky.

The sound of its wings flapping can be heard nearby.

Under the light of dawn, the breathing of the fleeing creature can be heard.

In my blurred vision, I shouted with my last resolve.

“Jong-Oh Choi――!!!”

The curve of the sky.

The dawn of dawn.

The heart of the evil dragon.

Pink spiral.

Everything comes together.

[Pink Lemon Sherbet]

Kwaaa!!

Kuooo――!!

I am in a vague consciousness.

It pierced the heart of the fleeing evil dragon.

A consciousness that gradually fades away.

I smiled refreshingly amidst the pain that made me feel like I was going to die at any moment.

‘What, I’m the last executive… You died like the first boss.’

ah…

I am worried about my juniors.

I miss Hilde after a long time.

The wind hitting my ears.

My body was shaking and falling helplessly.

“… ”

I closed my eyes and made up my mind.

Toouk-

“… ?”

warm.

But for some reason, the gesture is unsettling.

I opened my eyes with difficulty and looked ahead.

What I see before my eyes are the tears of a silver-white girl.

The water droplets reflect the dawn and sparkle.

“… heel… place… ?”

“… Lala.”

Is this a dream?

Or is it a vision you see right before you die?

In my vague mind, I spoke out the words that I had stored away for all these years.

“Sorry… Do it.”

“… ”

Wow――

Perhaps there was too much talk about the topic of using forbidden power.

My mind slowly went black with those words.

I could feel the blood flowing from my mouth, soaking my front lip.

So I lost my mind.
