– – Jingle, jingle.
 
The door opens, and the bell rings.
 
Confirming the customer’s appearance, the cafe owner, Bakuro Yuika, smiles.
 
“Oh my, Mion. Get lost~”
 
“Yo, I’m intruding. …Looks like I’m really intruding, with that greeting”
 
The one with a subtle expression is Adashino Mion.
 
She looks around restlessly.
 
“Huh? Isn’t here?”
 
“If you’re looking for Kushina-chan, she’s still here~”
 
“Damn, I’m a bit late. And I was hoping to tease her”
 
Seeing Mion plop down on the counter, Yuika grins broadly.… Read more

Final Act: Angel / Reverse Side
 

[Prim-Libra] 10th Branch, Top Floor.
 
On this floor, covered with red carpet, there are two rooms.
 
One is the Branch Director’s office.
 
Despite being called a “room,” it’s large enough to fit a tennis court.
 
The interior is lavishly decorated with luxurious and magnificent furnishings.
 
Currently, the 10th Branch Director is away at headquarters, but the room is kept beautifully maintained.
 
The one doing this is the Deputy Director, Shindo Isana.… Read more

The contact urge of the compensation umbra recedes.
 
Like two footprints left on the shoreline.
 
My resurfacing consciousness recognizes only the two of us, her and me.
 
Like my feet standing on the beach being dragged by the flowing seawater and sand.
 
The soft sensation pressed against my lips tries to drag me into the depths.
 
And then,
 
“Nnnnnnnnn!?!?!?”
 
I understood the situation.
 
No, I don’t understand it at all.… Read more

 
Some time passes, but shows no sign of reappearing.
 
In the painfully silent aftermath, as we finally start to relax,
 
“Ugh…”
 
The urge for Umbra compensation hits like a storm.
 
I desperately suppress my body that wants to hug Hinata-chan standing nearby.
 
“Ah… ugh.”
 
Snapping out of her surprise, Hinata-chan’s body also crumbles.
 
On her knees, she grits her teeth against the hunger gnawing at her entire body.
 
We’re both in tatters.
 
On the deserted main street, festival decorations sway lonely.… Read more

Watching Gouki the fly away, unable to stop due to losing inertia from [Separation], I think:
 
— How foolish I’ve been to hesitate until now.
 
Since coming to this world, I hadn’t raised a hand against anyone even once.
 
It’s not that I was proud of this or anything.
 
I simply thought that as an outsider, I had no right to harm anyone in this world.
 
Apparently, that’s not quite the case.
 
Well, either way, I can’t raise a hand against my oshi.… Read more

Act VI: The Symbiosis of Fallen Wings
 

 
The ground where Hinata stood just a moment ago shatters.
 
A chill runs down her spine as she realizes that would have been her fate had she been too slow to dodge.
 
Yet, there’s no fear in her heart. She sees only what she must do.
 
At the start of the battle, her heart raced with each evasion. Now, it’s completely calm.
 
“For all your big talk, you’re doing nothing but running away!”… Read more

 
“Is there something about Hina that makes her a target, something I don’t know about?”
 
Her question was completely off the mark.
 
Ibuki didn’t have such grand reasons.
 
He just wanted to continue the relationship without being found out.
 
…No, now he didn’t even know that anymore.
 
“──Back then, I thought I might lose Hina.”
 
Rui lowered her eyes slightly.
 
Her voice trembled as she spoke quietly.
 
Did she mean the time when Hina was in danger at the shopping mall?… Read more

 
However, she had no time to respond.
 
Not because of the young man she looked up to as a brother—
 
but because of what was right in front of her.
 
The ground at the intersection was cracked as if after a major earthquake, and the traffic lights had been knocked down.
 
“Ugh… guh…”
 
“Ah…”
 
Around her, Exia members lay groaning in pain.
 
And there,
 
“Hahahahahaha! You winged bugs are as weak as ever!”… Read more

Unaware of Hinata’s inner screams, his hands moved away.
 
Reflexively, she pressed her own hands against her unbearably hot cheeks.
 
As if she didn’t want to let the heat from ■■■ person escape.
 
She slipped out of Ibuki’s arms and ran towards a nearby stall as if escaping.
 
Her stomach was still empty, but she needed to look at something, anything, or she felt she might lose her mind.
 
Without the luxury of choosing a store, she jumped at the nearest one, which turned out to be an accessory shop.… Read more

Suddenly, a young girl bursts out from the crowd.
 
At a festival, elementary school kids must be in high spirits.
 
I can’t bring myself to blame such a lively girl.
 
Hinata-chan, who nearly collided with her, gracefully avoids her without a word of complaint, ice cream still in hand.
 
I can’t help but applaud her elegant movement.
 
“Oh, as expected of the Winged Guardian Exia.”
 
“Hehe. This much is nothing—Eek!”… Read more
