The trail of the sky The light belongs to you

Stepping over the rustling green grass, Onasa's steps were soft and slow, as cautious as if she was afraid of crushing a small grass.

This place in Ravenu is always like after the rain, the air is filled with a touch of sadness, leaving deep and not shallow marks on every inch of skin.

This imprint, together with the tombstones erected here, can always evoke people's memories of ten years ago.

Onassa walked through the village, past people who greeted her cheerfully.

As she knew, the simplicity here seemed to be inherent, and the dust was sealed in that nightmarish night 12 years ago.

She has been very grateful, but also very guilty.

I was always wrapped in that guilt and loneliness, and I couldn't face the smiles of everyone here.

I always feel that I am a different kind, unscrupulously absorbing the goodwill of everyone here.

However, this idea has gradually disintegrated.

Onasa has reason to believe that if she wants to bring happiness to someone, she must first learn to be kind to herself.

Of course, Agathe is the same.

This is her answer to the true meaning of the so-called "forget all anger and sadness".

Then this answer will be shared with you one day, don't worry, Levi.

Misha Kolosner.

Misha.

That girl with fiery red short hair and high spirits.

The girl who once hugged her, shed tears and wished her to cheer up.

Onasa had vowed to protect her smile and happiness. However, she thought that companionship was guardianship, but in the end she found that this kind of companionship was too vulnerable.

Onasa never resented fate or cursed the goddess, everything happened for a reason, and her own weakness was the reason.

Father's infidelity, mother's death, Misha's departure.

If all this is attributed to the word fate, then how many roles can she play?

Therefore, Onasa would never admit that it was fate.

Standing in front of the tombstone, praying silently, squatting down, placing the bouquet of white wild flowers in front of the tombstone, and then stretching out white hands, stroking the enduring name.

Misha, how are you doing?

It's okay, Agathe is fine...and I'm fine too, don't worry.

Almost every time it is these few words, every time it is the same action.

After a while, Onasa stood up, planning to go to a place.

She hadn't set foot in that place for almost ten years.

It is an ordinary residential house, but there is nothing there. There is dust everywhere in the room, but there is rarely a spider web.

Desolate, lonely, lifeless.

Onasa no longer remembered when and where all the things were cleared here.

The wooden floor creaked, and every time she took a step, she felt that she could see her old self moving around in every corner of the room.

That blonde girl, like herself.

However, she smiled so happily and carefree.

You must not know?

The price to be paid for growing up is too much, too cruel.

Onasa reached out to the empty air, to the imaginary girl, and stroked her hair gently.

Two pairs of blue eyes stared at each other.

One pair is clear and innocent, and the other pair is gentle and deep.

do you know?

Little Onasa.

No matter what happens to you in the future, I will love you more than anyone in the world.

So please keep going.

The last, last look around here, the house is empty and empty, but it seems that something has never been lost.

When Onasa feels happy again one day, come back here again.

Just as Estier and the others were heading to the capital, Onasa returned to Ravenu.

Although I have already returned home, I don't plan to stay for the time being. I just stay in a small hotel in the village.

Counting the time, one day, Onasa came to the association in downtown Perth.

Grandpa Luglan suddenly saw an unexpected person and exclaimed unconsciously, so Onasa remembered that she hadn't come to the association to say hello after returning to the Perth area.

"You came just in time, but," said Grandpa Luglan, busy flipping through the record book in his hand, "Lorient sent a request for support, and it happens that there is no suitable candidate, so why don't you go there?"

"...It doesn't matter if I go to Loriente, but it doesn't matter here?" Onasa pointed to the notice board. Under the leadership of Mayor Maybelle, business and trade in Perth are booming, and there is no need to worry about associations here. Harassment, but the lack of people has never been alleviated.

"Although I don't really want to let you go...but the situation is different this time."

"Is it serious?"

"No, actually, Aina hasn't told me what exactly happened, but this time, Mr. Cassius personally recommended you."

"……why?"

"Ah, why do you still ask?" Luglan glanced at Onasha in surprise, "Didn't that guy trust you all the time, just like Agathe."

"……is that so?"

"Yeah, just like that time, I asked you to go to Loriente to help the two of them who just became guerrillas..." Suddenly, as if he realized that he had said something forbidden, Luglan paused, "Joshua , do you have any news from there?"

"Not yet."

"yes……"

"It's okay, Lorient, I will go, if it's here, just trouble others."

"Oh? Really, it would be great if you don't force it."

"So, let's go this afternoon?"

"Okay, just leave the airline ticket to me, and besides..." Luglan's eyes became serious, "Don't be too reluctant. You have always..."

"I'll say it, I'll say it~" Onasa showed a rare smile playfully, the corners of her mouth rising to outline a beautiful curve, "Are you used to preaching to Agathe? I'm not that impulsive."

"...Speaking of being brave, you are even better."

"...It's too much, Grandpa Luglan," Onasa pretended to lower her head helplessly, but then said seriously, "Estil is desperately trying to stop Joshua, what if I don't try my best?" OK?"

"Always articulate, that hasn't changed at all."

"Well~~ then I'm leaving."

The earnest tone was a bit mischievous, and Onasa seemed to have made a promise for the two distant people and herself.

And in her sincere words, Luglan seemed to see something.

what is it then?

"...It's... Misha..."

That perseverance, although not complete, has faded a little from the haze and restraint, and it is no longer the unrestrained ignorance of worldly affairs that I had when I was a child.

That smile, just like Misha who stayed by Agathe's side at that time, was innocent and brave.

regular ship—

The long-lost sky and alone time.

The sky above Libel is always bright and gentle, inlaid with white clouds, passing the travelers' vision.

Because of cultivation, it seems that it has been a long time since I took a regular boat.

And the last few times were with Estelle and the others.

There seems to be no contact from the capital, but judging from the estimated time, something strange must have happened there.

LuAnn, Chase, Grancel, Lorient...

So the last one is Perth?

At the thought of that moment approaching, Onasa suddenly felt a little ironic.

In the village of Ravenu, with him...

Although the association's current experiments have not caused great losses, they have always caused more or less confusion.

Levi is very clear about the hell he has witnessed in Ravenu Village, so what will he do?

Will what he's been through... stop him from wreaking havoc there?

Or stick to the belief of the so-called Shura, in order to expose the weakness of human beings, and attack without hesitation?

Everything is unknown.

The long golden hair has reached the waist at some point, and the soft curve dances with the wind.

His blue eyes reflected the sky.

— Estelle.

I don't think I have doubted for a day that you will find Joshua back. When Joshua left, please solemnly ask me to take care of you.

I realized it was completely unnecessary.

And I am doing the same thing as you right now.

But it doesn't matter, I will believe that I can succeed just like I believe in you.

The secret stronghold, the icy chill, is hidden in this huge space.

Except for insiders, no one knows about this place for the time being.

"Ling, you're back."

The purple-haired girl jumped lightly from the palm of the huge machine just now, the skirt of the bubble skirt was blown up slightly by the wind, and a young man came in front of her.

"Ah, Levi~"

"Ling, how is the capital? Is it fun?"

"Well, there is a big department store, and I saw a lot of cute dolls in it~" Ling moved over happily, and Levi touched her soft hair, "It's a pity that I haven't played it yet because of the task. Enough."

"If Ling likes it, let's go next time," Levi's mouth slightly raised, and he pondered for a while, "How about the task?"

"Yeah~ I'm very happy, Tida is very cute, Estier is also very interesting... The tea party was very successful, anyway, Ling had a lot of fun this time~"

"...tea party, how many guests are there?"

"Eh? Guests..." Ling rested her fingers on her chin, recalling carefully, "Estier, Tida, the big brother of the church... In short, everything the professor asked for is here, and there seems to be no one else. "

"yes……"

"Ah~ What's the matter with Levi, are you tired?" Although the girl was young, she was keen, thinking that the person in front of her was tired because of the task, and her eyes were wide open, with a little worry flickering.

"Hehe, no," Levi wrapped his right hand around Ling's back, "Let's go."

"Hmm, I want to hear Levi tell a story!"

"Oh Well."

Levi silently looked at the bouncing and jumping girl.

Although that smile was dazzling, it still got rid of everything at that time, the bloody hell, and countless scars.

This is where those who associate belong.

Whether he, Ling, or others.

Ling's smiling face, did she also have it when she was a child?

Somewhere in his heart, Levi found himself vaguely looking forward to the day when she could have the happiness of a normal person.

Maybe it was the persistent light that made him feel that it would be a pity if it just disappeared like this.

Onatha Barlowka.

Estelle Bright.

What's even more pity is that even if it shouldn't disappear, it's not something you can grasp.

"Long time no see, Miss Aina...Miss Aina?"

Onasa, who had just stepped off the scheduled ship, was aware of the strange atmosphere in the whole city.

The memorial building of the Hundred Days Battle, the bell tower, seems to be a lonely announcer, silently making the ticking sound of the clock.

Children shuttled on the road as usual.

The women gossiped, leaning on chairs outside the café.

Everything seems to be working fine.

However, Onasa felt that something was reaching out to the city somewhere.

The regular ship had just arrived in the area of ​​Lorient, and the weather was obviously pretty good, but a layer of mist shrouded the interior of the city, bringing with it a hint of darkness.

Sure enough something happened.

However, she hurried into the association, only to find that she seemed to have come too late.

Aina was lying in front of the desk, sleeping soundly... It was true that she was just asleep, and there was no sign of an attack in the room, but she couldn't be woken up no matter what.

...Strange, Estier and the others haven't reported yet, which means that the matter in the capital is not over yet or has just ended...

Why are things happening so quickly here?

Just when she was about to help Miss Aina upstairs, the door of the Guerrilla Association suddenly opened.

"No, it's not good...!!"

"you are……"

"Ah, are you... are you a guerrilla? It's bad, big things are bad!! A lot of people outside the door suddenly fell down just now!!"

"collapsed?"

"I should have fallen asleep. I'm an employee of the restaurant... When I was preparing a meal, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside. Go out and have a look..."

"Understood... Please take me to the scene, before that, can you do me a favor?"

After carrying Aina upstairs with someone who came, Onasa found the spare key of the Guerrilla Association and locked the door—for the time being, it seemed that no other guerrillas would come here.

The sight of the city made her gasp.

The fog, so thick it seemed impossible to see for a short period of time, the sleeping people fell to the ground, their families anxiously beside them.

Although many people fell, they were limited to the streets.

No one in the room was affected.

After quelling all the chaos, Onasa asked the citizens not to go out for the time being and stay at home.

People are anxiously asking for the truth, but Onasa can only promise to find out as soon as possible...

Fears were not entirely allayed, and the townspeople left with their doomed relatives.

The streets of Lorient were truly lifeless.

Miss Aina was attacked and fell into a coma. Before this phenomenon broke out, after checking the records of the Guerrilla Association, it turned out that what she was sent to investigate this time was "unexplained persistent dense fog, and it only lasted in the urban area."

thick fog...

Regarding the sleeping incident, there is no record, that is to say, Miss Aina was actually the first target.

Similarly, the possibility of dense fog was ruled out, and all the eruptions happened only when she arrived in Lorient.

Although there is no basis, there is a feeling that the visitor is for me.

Is it Levi?

...Impossible, this kind of meaningless harm does not seem like he would do it, not to mention... Levi will not target himself.

The rest of the guerrillas were sent to other places.

Here, she is alone.

The premonition is getting stronger.

In an instant, everything in her mind became chaotic, and Onasa seemed to hear something far away, echoing crisply.

There was no one around.

Ding--

Bell...?

Before she could react in the future, she actually stepped forward, as if guided by the ringtone, Onasa walked in that direction.

If the ringtone was the instigator, why didn't the manipulator let her fall into a deep sleep?

The brain still has consciousness and can think, but the body seems to be separated from consciousness, and she can't take a step at all.

No, it was better to say that the consciousness was divided into two parts, one part was her own, while the other part was controlled.

The ringing gradually grew louder and clearer.

【Dream】

what?

【Do you want to dream? 】

who are you?

【Never painless, happy and carefree dreams】

what are you...

【If you hang around there, you will be happy】

No, not like that...

【Hey, come on, I will give you everything you want, so come on】
