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, Excia 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 Excia.”
 
“Hehe. This much is nothing—Eek!”… Read more

Act 5: OMATSURI
 

Ibuki Ibusuki’s mornings aren’t particularly early…
 
or rather, they’re quite ordinary.
 
He wakes up at seven, which is standard for middle and high school students or working adults.
 
However, for a college student, it’s a relatively disciplined wake-up time.
 
Especially today, being a holiday, it’s rare for a student to still wake up precisely at seven.
 
The reason for such a regulated lifestyle is—
 
“Come on, wake up, Ibuki.”… Read more

this attack is not okay.
 
People almost died, and Hinata even got injured.
 
I don’t know if I’m related to this attack.
 
But I can’t think of it as completely unrelated to me either.
 
After all, in the original story—in the world where I didn’t exist—this incident never happened.
 
When I chose this path, I never imagined that just one person’s actions changing could alter the story this much.
 
In hindsight, how shallow of me.… Read more

Anxiety alone occupied Rui Utsurugi’s heart.
 
She wanted to rush to Hinata’s aid on the ground immediately.
 
But abandoning the people would sadden Hinata.
 
Rui was dedicating herself to preventing casualties for that reason alone.
 
—Behind her, in her blind spot.
 
Hidden by a flashy vortex of flames, a single knife was approaching Rui.
 
Only when it reached a fatal distance,
 
“——”
 
Slowly.
 
In a world moving in slow motion.… Read more

Act 4: Feeble Boy Stumble
 

 
Right after the curtain rose, Hinata and her ally had the upper hand.
 
Two angels versus over a dozen members led by “Gouki”.
 
The former were clearly at a numerical disadvantage, so the latter attempted to overwhelm them with brute force.
 
The members all unleashed their divine gifts at once—
 
First, the palms of the combat-focused angel, moving at high speed, pierced the solar plexus of the two members at the front.… Read more

From then on, it was undoubtedly the most hectic days of my life.
 
“Hinata-chan! It’s after school, want to go to the park?”
 
“………..”
 
“Hinata-chan! It’s lunchtime, was the school lunch tasty?”
 
“……Well, it was okay.”
 
“Hinata-chan! It’s break time, let’s go play!”
 
“……Sigh.”
 
“Hinata-chan! We have a five-minute break, let’s chat!”
 
“…If we must.”
 
“Hinata-chan, Hinata-chan!”
 
“Yes, yes, what is it?”
 
—Without a doubt, these days became an unfading treasure for life.… Read more
