*************** [ARC 5: MOTHERHOOD - SUCCESS]***************

.

"Did you make it?"

A humanoid figure as dark as the night was floating in the middle of a completely blank slate, a world of light without head or tails, without start or end, with no sky, and no earth, a place where only a few could get.

"… I'm sure Ran will tell Yukari"

A woman dressed in white, with a face always hidden by a long cloth hood, answered to her question.

Her attire made it even harder to be seen in the middle of the whiteness of that place.

"Did you have a problem?"

The woman in white used other words to ask the same exact question to that being composed by darkness.

"That bitch Yukari cut me in two, however, it is only a matter of time until everything gets out of her control"

"…"

The woman disapproved her way of addressing one of her oldest friends, but she couldn't nor wanted to say anything about it.

"Good job, everything will go according to plan"

She limited herself to congratulate the work of her partner in crime.

"…"

After a few seconds of silence, the dark figure got down to the floor and slowly took the shape of a familiar high school girl. Her hair as dark as the night, using a white polo uniform that covered the upper half of her body, and pair of pants where her usual skirt should be located, it was such a mismatched costume that showed no sense of fashion, but at least protected her of the cold and wilderness.

"Are you sure this is what you want?"

Her voice was slightly sharper, seemed like changing her shape also rejuvenated her.

"No"

The woman in white took her hood off her head.

A white eye, a black eye, black hair with white as snow ends.
As beautiful as somber. The conglomeration and result of what it meant to live in a dystopia for her entire life.

"But someone has to do it, or the story will repeat again"

The high schooler smiled, extremely satisfied with that answer.

"Hey, Me… How should I address to each and every one of your daughters after this?"

The woman in white looked at that girl confused, only to make a short laugh in a low voice.

"What kind of question is that you dummy? You know very well that I would never call my children with another name, no matter what"

"Hahahaha~"

And with a spine-chilling identical laugh, the girl pretended to act embarrassed.

Smiling, the woman in white caressed the hair of her beloved daughter, of her dear creation, of the person who made her company during all those years she was trapped in that eternal darkness that was now replaced by a river of whiteness without start nor end.

"Please… Be a good girl, okay?"

"Yes, mom"

The high schooler allowed her mother caress her black as coal hair.
That scene was so beautiful as comforting, the woman in white with a maternal feeling didn't stop smiling as she pampered her daughter. And what once was nothing but a shadow couldn't stop smiling as a child on a candy store.

"And one last thing…"

"Yes?"

The woman in white stopped her hands, only to hold the head of her daughter with all the might of her strength. The same monstrous strength that was able to bend steel and break each and every one of Rin's bones.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"

But that girl didn't seem to suffer any damages, you could even say she didn't feel any pain at all.

"Don't you dare betray me… Got it?"

Without showing intentions to bow down, the high schooler showed her sharp and strong teeth creating what was a smile full of malice.

"That will depend if mother's plan works or not"

And with a superior strength, she freed herself from her mother's grip.

Any mother would be mad at such a show of disrespect.

"Hahaha~"

But against all logic, that action didn't bothered the woman in white… It was the complete opposite… Such attitude filled her with proud and satisfaction.

"Heh, I've created a true demon, I'm sure your grandpa would be very displeased to know what I did, and what I'm about to do"

The words of that woman were sad, but true.

"Grandpa? Why do you mention him? He abandoned you as soon as you came to this place, why should I even care of that old geezer?"

But that didn't stop her from smiling after such an answer.
It was a smile full of evil, full of hatred, rage, and resentment.

"Even so, you must forgive him my child, he is too weak, too stupid to save anyone but himself"

Her words were sarcastically contradictory.

"Heeeh? Whatever, do you think we should go over the plan?"

The high schooler was suggesting something out of the ordinary, her intelligence and memory were much better than those of a normal human. It was impossible she didn't remember what they had planned.

"Do we?"

The woman in white knew that and wasn't interested in wasting her time on such a stupid an unnecessary manner.

"I think it would be the best, for everyone listening to us right now"

And with those words, she could understand the reason why her daughter acted in such a strange manner.

'She can finally feel them'

She had lived long enough to know about them.

"Isn't mystery something fun?"

However, the woman in white definitely didn't felt like explaining everything.
Even if explaining would've been a way to mock all of those nescient spectators.

"I'm sure they will get it sooner or later"

Laughing about something incomprehensible, both girls looked to where once was located a big, blue sky.

"Useless! Always watching and still not able to understand what are we planning! Hahahaha~!"

"Didn't I tell you? Just like your grandpa, each and every one of them are too weak, too ignorant to save anything but themselves, as long as we are careful, we can lead things the way we want to"

Both enjoyed to be able to brag about the power they got with their own efforts.
