215 Episode 209 Name




'A question...? All right. The temporary personality (Toi) will be awakening soon. I don't have much time left, but I'll answer as best I can as a thank you for taking care of the "other me (Toi)"...

Yeah, you know, that's what I want to hear.

 There were so many things I wanted to hear about the power to touch the root of the world, or that the Divine Annihilation High King would destroy the world, and so many other things.
 One of them.
 The thing I had to ask with the time I had left was...

'What's your name? 'Twa' is the name of the pseudopersonality Hazuki gave you and 'Susanoo' is the name of your robot, right? Then what is the name of 'you now' that isn't Towa or 《Susanoo》?

 That's the question I asked.

What...?
 Toi opened her mouth in a poke.

''Um ... you know what? The time left is short, surely I told you that, didn't I? I'm not sure what you're going to ask me in that small amount of time, but my name is--

"It's not a 'what', it's the most important thing to me. So why don't you tell me your name--

 It shouldn't be so sad to be the only survivor from prehistoric times and then disappear without even leaving a name, right?



No, I'm not trying to pick you up!
Unu? Picking up?
 Hazuki nodded his head, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the word.

'A pickup is a preparatory act performed by a flirtatious man in order to bond with a woman.
'Hey, guys, can you stop explaining to a little girl that you can only feel bad about! It's not a pick-up job to begin with!

 After being probed in the belly, which doesn't even hurt, I could be socially eliminated from Hazuki's mind!

Manowat.
'So it wasn't Manowat to begin with-- what? Manowat?

'So that's my name. You asked me for it, didn't you?
Yeah, uh-oh.

'--Manowath. That's the project name and codename that was given to me. It's a very uninspired name, but it's a very uninspired name with just two letters removed from Amanoiwato.
 Towa's - no, Manowat's expression as he said that was filled with melancholy, as if he was nostalgic for the distant past that had passed.

It's a very good name. I mean, it's got my own sense of style. I like the name, I like the name. I'll always remember it.

''Hmph, I am neither happy nor happy to be liked or remembered by my bitter enemy, the Divine Annihilation King?

...right?
 Well, that's just as well.

.....

 The crimson attack color is rapidly fading from the eyes of Toi -- or rather Manowat, who said that -- the crimson attack color is rapidly fading away.
 And the last thing those eyes stare at is the one little girl who was full of tears next to me--.

'Hajduki, I had a very nice dream at the end - so I hope you'll smile and see me off without crying.

Unu, I'll do my best, I'll do my... egao...
 But Hajduki's eyes were full of tears.

Thank you, Hazuki, and goodbye. Thank you, Hazuki, and goodbye. My only friend who was born as a weapon--

 Manowat closed his eyes - and a few moments later, his eyes opened, and they were already glowing with beautiful green eyes - and

"...Hey, what is this place? Um, what am I doing? As I recall, I suddenly got a headache.... Um, I don't remember anything from there--

 It was no longer Manowat, but Twa, who was there.

 Except for the color of her eyes, her appearance is exactly the same.
 The polite way of speaking, which is not typical of a young girl, is also very similar, just like the twins.

 But she's a perfectly normal little girl who has nothing to do with fighting.

 So I smiled at her to reassure her that she was a normal little girl.

I smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I'm okay. It's okay, both of us are fine. I'm sure you don't need to be reminded of that. Welcome home, Twi--

Yes, yes, I'm home...?

 Thus.
 The case that began with picking up Twa, fighting Twa-"Susano-o" and parting with Manowat, came to an end - a case that ended.
