Section 2: The Similarity of Opposite Wings
 

Prologue: The Vice-Captain’s Troubles

 
[The White Scales of Cyclic Protection, Prim-Libra] – Tenth Branch.
 
Located in the heart of the metropolis Sakura City, it was often described as the “White Castle.”
 
From afar, its austere, all-white exterior might resemble a massive office building.
 
But up close, the impression changed.
 
Stained-glass windows, pointed arch motifs, and decorative spires near the rooftop一
 
many of its features were reminiscent of Gothic architecture.… Read more

The Brother Who Wants to Escape the Candy House VS The Sister Who Wants to Eat It
 

At the center of Sakuramura Oura Station, five main streets extend in different directions.
 
Ibuki and Hinata first headed towards the main street to the southeast because it was closest to their homes, which were next to each other.
 
The southeastern part of Sakuramura is an area where many traditional houses remain, despite the ongoing urban development.… Read more

 
Five main streets extend from Sakuramura Station in different directions.
 
The street to the west is known as Amusement Street and is a well-known spot for young people’s entertainment in Tokyo.
 
True to its name, Amusement Street is a bustling avenue packed with a mishmash of attractions, from boutiques to game centers and small movie theaters.
 
The shopping mall that Ibuki, Hinata, and Rui had visited before is also located about a fifteen-minute walk down this street from the station.… Read more

Cat
 

“Oh, a cat…”
 
Hinata stopped in her tracks as she said this, just a short distance from the main street where the Centennial Festival was being held in full swing.
 
Ibuki also stopped, following her gaze.
 
There was a cat. With a bell around its neck, it was probably someone’s pet.
 
It was a black cat, but its paws were white, making it look like it was wearing socks.
 
Let’s call it Kutsushita (Socks).… Read more

Great Criminal
 

The day after Ibuki and Kushina rescued the captured “Covenant of Salvation Nega-Messiah” executive during transport.
 
Regarding the fact that ‘s face, under ‘s command, wasn’t captured on surveillance cameras, Deputy Branch Chief Shindo Isana dismissed it with a simple “can’t be helped.”
 
However, in reality, the problem couldn’t be solved with just “it wasn’t recorded, end of story.” That would be troublesome.
 
This is where the so-called “sketch artist” comes into play.… Read more

– – 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
