I remember.

　I remember the final battle of that mission.

　I thought I did my best, that I was at the top of my game.

　But as it turns out I lost a lot of my best friends.

　The Warding City has sprung up. Because the operation was a success.

　But I can't rejoice with my hands.

''Belle-san........''

　I know. I know that I'm in a dream.

　I whisper to myself in the dark world.

　If only I had been able to get rid of the enemy earlier in the fight and get to Ms. Bell.

　That regret passes through my head again and again.

　I can't blame my seniors, Shelly, and the rest of my friends for that.

　Rather, I am praised for a job well done.

　I get praised for it.

　But is that enough?

　Am I to be praised for losing someone I love?

　I was told by those who had already experienced so many deaths of their peers that they would eventually get used to it.

''Is this really ... getting used to it?　I'm not, I'm not....

　Words that I carve into myself like a curse.

　Regret.

　That's all I have left in my mind.

　I remember this feeling I get from time to time.

　It's as if I'm not myself.....

"Yulia-kun.
Mr. Bell....

　It's a dream.

　I know it's a dream.

　But in front of me is the same Belle I've been seeing for years.

Julia, my boy. Julia, take care of Miss Leanne for me.
'No!　Wait, wait, wait!
'Bye. I'll be waiting for you at the end of that blue sky.
'No!　Don't go, don't go!

　Reaching out.

　I run hard.

　I am in a red-black world dominated by twilight.

　Mr. Bell, on the other hand, is heading towards the blue sky world projected in front of him.

　My feet will never reach it.

　No matter how hard I run, I will never reach it.

　A clear separation.

　Dusk and blue sky.

　The world we live in is already different, and I'm unavoidably aware of this.

Why, why, why am I...

　I didn't know if I was this helpless.

　He became stronger.

　I was selected for the position of rank zero in the rankings among the special class anti-magicians.

　But what do you think?

　Am I really accomplishing this?

　I don't know.

　I don't know, so I have to keep going as hard as I can.

　In this twilight world, just keep going straight.


'....Haha.

　I wake up.

　I wake up in my usual bed. When you wake up, you see the usual scenery around you.

　But it doesn't feel real in a strange way.

　You look out through the window.

　The light of the twilight shines down on you.

　The light that never changes.

　The environment around you is changing. People die, and I survive, and I am left in the midst of change.

"I am....

　I blurted out and got out of bed.......and took a shower.

　Taking a hot shower awakens my consciousness.

　When I realized, this shivering had stopped.

　Will there ever come a time when I........will this shivering stop?
