Hachiman sighs as he idly looks around, "…Wait, she wouldn't just drop the dragon on top of me, right?" He grimaces before he looks up and sees a large void appearing on top of him.

He sees Benares falling from the void, prompting him to run far away as possible while shouting, "I fucking jinxed myself!" He doesn't look back until he hears a loud boom from behind him and a shockwave hits his back that propels him to the air.

"SHIIITTT!" He loudly curses as he sees the ground rapidly filling his vision, which makes him cover his face with his arms and closes his eyes. He braces himself for the pain but he hits something soft instead.

He slowly opens his eyes, only to blink as he sees Sirin holding him with her hand at the back of his waist, "Had a nice flight?" She smirks as she teases him, prompting him to blush and lifts his head up to look away from her.

She slowly descends until they reach the ground, to which he quickly gets out of her hold, "Erm… Sorry about that," He mutters.

"You were really enjoying yourself with my boobs." She cheekily smiles at him, prompting him to blush even redder, though she drops it as she grabs his hand, "Come on, Benares is waiting."

She quickly drags him over to Benares, the head is firmly pinned to the ground by 2 large white spears while a light pink light emits from the end of the spears, though with eyes wide open and slightly moving.

"Don't worry about her escaping since those spears are emitting a barrier that's locking her in place."

Hachiman slowly nods as he walks to the dragon and tightens his grip on his sword, "…If anything happens to me, tell Kiana and Mei… Thanks for saving me."

Sirin blinks before widening her eyes, "HOLD ON YOU SAID THAT THE SPIRIT WOULD TAKE CARE –" She sees his sword almost touching the dragon's exposed skin, prompting her to materializes a small void to stop him, though he merely tilts the sword a bit so that it skids off the void, then plunges it into the skin.

His body goes limp and starts to fall to the ground, prompting her to teleport next to him and grab his body, "Damn it Hachiman!" She curses as she holds his body with a betrayed look, though it slowly turns into bitter realization.

"This… I should have known… It's what I would have done… But why…? Why would you go so far… For me?"

She slowly drops to her knees then carefully places the head on her thighs, "Fuck… Come back alive or else Kiana's going to skin me alive."

"Why would I skin you alive?"

Sirin flinches as she hears Kiana's voice from above, prompting her to look up and see the latter sticking her head out of a void that wasn't there before, "Y-you've managed to make voids, Kiana?!" She dumbfoundedly says then blinks, "How did you find us?!"

Kiana raises an eyebrow, "Why are you surprised? You told Mei the instructions on how to make voids and it was easy enough… And a lot of blind guesses with this last attempt being dumb luck." Then she narrows her eyes, "By the way, why is Hachiman laying on your lap?"

"Well… Erm… He –"

The void grows larger then Mei's head pops out beside Kiana to look at Sirin with concern, "What happened to Hachiman?"

"…I might as well bring all of you here and explain." Sirin sighs then snaps her finger to materialize a large void near her, "Go into the void that appeared in the room."


"Huh… So this is the mind of a dragon?" Hachiman blankly says as he looks around the place, only seeing a black surrounding with nothing else, almost like an abyss, "Looks empty."

"That is because the owner is not here," The same normal looking man with no eyes simply says as he floats near him, though the man has a ghost tentacle for legs, "The box is deeper inside." He points forward into the abyss then slowly floats ahead.

Hachiman nods before swallowing as he warily looks around, "Maybe… Maybe we should go back…"

The man stops then turns around to look at him with a raised eyebrow, "Sure. We can go back but we can't enter again."

"…You didn't say anything about that last part."

The man simply shrugs, "I saw no need. You asked me if we could leave and I answered."

Hachiman grinds his teeth before materializing the sword, "For fucks sake…" He slowly relaxes his face then sighs, "At least we can get out anytime we want."

"Not quite. The deeper we go, the harder our escape will be."

Hachiman blankly gazes at the man then slowly lifts his middle finger at him, "Tell me why."

The man amusedly snorts as he sees the rude gesture, "You're smart, you probably already guessed it. But as confirmation, yes, the mind has walls that protects itself from intruders, aka us. The deeper we go in, the tougher the walls will be and we can't simply use the path we forged to get out since the walls repair themselves after a while."

"…Well fuck."

The man slowly floats over to him, "Actually, I am curious as to why are you endangering yourself for a stranger, not to mention lying? That girl named Sirin being the older sister of that girl Kiana aside, though that is debatable since the latter doesn't remember."

Hachiman opens and closes his mouth before scratching his back head, "…If I had to pick a reason… I guess I can relate myself to her after seeing her memories." He unconsciously licks his lips, "I know that she killed over millions of people and that I should get far as hell from her… But…"

He looks up, "The scientists that… Experimented on her and the others… Along with the Will manipulating her… Makes it a bit hard for me to hate her. I already saw how Cecilia slowly changed her into a good person with some help from Siegfried… How she interacted with Bianka and Kiana…"

"I… I envy her for being able to experience that kind of family, even though Komachi was with me. My parents only doted on Komachi, which is something I agree with since she is the best little sister in the world, and… Yeah." He lifelessly shrugs.

"Anyway… I guess you can say that I just want… To repay? Because I want to? Being selfish? I don't know. Maybe if I was the person before meeting Kiana, then he would know since he is the Monster of Logic."

He mirthlessly chuckles, "That's like what? A week ago? Or maybe two."

The man waits for a bit, in case Hachiman wants to say anything else, though it becomes apparent he is done, so he nods, "Alright. Have you now found your resolve?"

Hachiman closes his eyes then slowly nods, "Yeah. Yeah."

"Good. It is time you find out what your uncle does for a living." The man materializes his own sword, which looks the same as the one Hachiman is holding, then floats ahead.

Hachiman takes a breath in then exhales as he slowly walks forward into the abyss. He glances behind with a complicated face, though he quickly shakes his head then looks forward.
