The moment I held out the golden fruit I received from Alice, Black's mood clearly changed.
　His expression disappears and his golden eyes look at me without the slightest movement.
　When I was silent, unable to continue with my next words due to this alien atmosphere, Kuro slowly fell down on his face.

''...............Ahahahahahahahaha!
Huh?

　Black smoke erupts from Black's body, which is laughing like a madman, and it instantly envelops the entire room.
　The smoke that seems to swallow up the entire space makes your vision instantly turn all black.

　What's this?　What is this place...

　I found myself standing in an all-black space where I couldn't see up or down. I couldn't even tell if I was really standing there or if I was floating.
　It was so jet black that I couldn't even read the distance between us, but somehow I could see my own body clearly. The space that could be described as abnormal was inexplicably suffocating.
　Along with the sensation that my body was being constricted by the air itself, I could feel my body trembling slightly.

　Before I knew it, the golden fruit that I should have been holding in my hand had disappeared, and out of the corner of my eye, a pair of golden eyes suddenly appeared in the all-black landscape.

''Huh~?　You're looking better than I thought.　Heh, a barrier made by those kids.......hahahaha!''
...Black?

　An eerie voice, as if tainted with madness, echoes in the space, that voice that should be familiar, sounds like an unknown sound.



　His eyes flicker in the black space along with a mocking voice.
　What the hell is he talking about?　Alice said that Black would reject me..................but apparently Black's behavior is not what I imagined.

I'm glad to see you, Kite, even though you failed many, many times. You finally 'made it'.
...work?

　I don't know what you're talking about.......only that an inexplicably heavy and frightening air is covering my body.
　It's not just a matter of time before you're in the belly of a monster, it's an intimidating feeling that resistance is useless.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.　Black's true power... how much power does he have?

Kite, have you ever played dominoes before?
"Dominoes?
'Well, dominoes ... you know when they're the most fun?　It's the moment to take it down.'


　The pressure on my body is increasing and I can hear something creaking and creaking.
　It's probably the barrier that Alice and the others put up for me that's screaming... If it weren't for the barrier, my consciousness would have been ripped away long ago.


...to...
But it didn't work out so well, you know? You see, I'm a bit of a stickler and I wanted to cut off my most beautiful wings... the most beautiful wings that 'fell in love' with me!
"........

　At that moment, Solé was finally released.
　In an instant, my thoughts were painted black, and I was struck with a fear that made me want to scream out.......an unmixed, intense killing intent.
　It far surpasses the time I encountered Isis-san, and the word death burns intensely into my head.
　A discomfort accompanied by intense nausea, as if my body is motionless like a gold bond and only fear is crawling over my skin.

''Hmph, it's useless. You can't enter the space I've created for you.
Ggh..........ah.........ah?

　With cold words, the feeling in my left hand - disappeared.
　When I moved my gaze, my left hand - no, my left elbow to the end - was gone.
　No pain.........but no sensation of my hand being there either. It's as if I've been swallowed by a pitch-black space, as if my hand didn't exist from the beginning....

"Don't worry I'll make sure you eat well little by little, little by little.
....

　It wasn't just my hands that had changed.
　

　What's this?　What's going on?　What the hell is going to happen to me...

"...you're gonna die.
..........

　Black's words weren't a lie. I didn't have to think about it to understand that Black was serious about killing me.
　Rather, after my body understands this, my thoughts finally begin to think about death.

　........death.......nuh?　Yeah, well I'm gonna die...
　I don't know....it's supposed to be horrible, but I don't think I want to die....has my heart been broken?　There is a part of me that accepts those words without any resistance.

　It's as if not only my body, but also my thoughts have been painted black..............................a helpless feeling.
　Dark and cold........how much of my body is left now?　Is it already gone?　Why don't I feel anything?　Is it possible that even my senses... have they disappeared?　I can feel the cold, but I can't.

'....Hey, Kite?　How does it taste of despair?'
..........

　 When I think about it, it's a feeling I remember.
　
　I'm scared ... cold ... scared ... and freezing.

"...Hey, can I ask you one last question?　Tainted by despair, your voice...
"..............

　The last?　Well for the last time I'm about to be killed by Black. What am I going to tell Black when he kills me?
　I can't think straight I can't think about anything I don't want to think about anything I don't want to think about

　In the midst of my disappearing thoughts, the last words spontaneously spilled out of my mouth as my vision was being filled with black.

'.........Black......until now......thank you.......'

　 Even in this situation, I can't help but feel grateful to Black.
　Even though I'm afraid of dying, I can't help but feel anger and fear towards Kuro, but I'm not afraid of being killed by him. .........

....

　Immediately afterwards, the entire space shook greatly.
　And the thoughts that should have been on the verge of disappearing, and the body that had lost its senses, suddenly began to heat up.
　The fear that had enveloped my body, the icy coldness that had surrounded me, everything disappeared in an instant, and my vision opened up at once, and I saw the golden eyes floating in the black space.

　And I'm not the only one who has experienced a change.
　The golden eyes are also shaking greatly for some reason.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get the job done.
Huh?

　A scream too loud, that voice is not eerie as it was earlier, but is caged with strong emotions.

'I've been doing this much!　Why aren't you 'scared' of me!　Why don't you try to 'get away' from me!
.........c......ro.......?
"What's wrong with you?　You're going home!　You'll never get away from me!　Why are you making me get so lost?
....

　It was a sorrowful voice that sounded like a cry, and with each word, the jet-black space shook loudly, as if it represented Black's heart.

　

　So, you're saying that all that was an act until just now was an act... hahaha, he really is a terrible guy.
　Probably thinking about the influence of my sensitivity magic and other things, he was successfully guiding my emotions so that I would believe it was my true intention.
　And then, little by little, he adjusted his killing intent to make death feel closer so that he would feel more fearful.................I'm afraid.

''........Black.......''
What?

　Then again... as if remembering, a powerful killing intent was released from Black, and his body shook greatly, even though the wind wasn't blowing.
　But it's okay. The body didn't disappear.　And my heart won't be broken anymore!

"....don't come here, don't come here, don't come here, don't come here...
....

　In the jet blackness where I can't even find my feet, I advance with a sure footing.
　In a different direction from the golden eyes in front of me........

　And Black's frightened voice confirmed it. Those eyes are dummies....Black is just ahead.

　I can't even see in front of me in this black space, but for some reason I know exactly where Black is.
　Step by step, step by step, I reach out to the darkness, where I can't see anything.

　The feeling of something touching my hand, I grab it and pull it closer.

'..........
Huh?

　With a small voice, what emerged from the jet blackness was the 'black haired White-san'?
　No, it doesn't matter what he looks like. This is Black.

　When Black looks upset, I hug him with all my strength.

"I love you, Black, I love you.
?

　I put all I could think of into a single word and confessed to Black.
　Black's body jerked around, but he didn't seem to resist.

Since I came to this world, your smile has always been a source of encouragement to me. I want to continue to be with that happy, smiling Black guy.
Kite you.
I don't care what Black says or does I'm not going to be afraid of him. I'm not going to leave him... Hey, Black?　The treasure ... we found it. I love you ... more than anyone ... more than anything else...
What?

　Hearing my words as I hugged her tightly, Black's body suddenly relaxed.
　At that moment, the black space cracked and shattered, and the scenery returned to my room, which I had grown accustomed to.
　It's not just the scenery that has returned, Black has also returned to her familiar silver-white haired girl form, and she's picking at my clothes, her body shaking.


...Yeah. Maybe.
"Stupid ... stupid ... stupid ... stupid ... favorite ... I like... me too!　I love you, Kite!

　Tears spill from Black's eyes and he jumps at me with the word "I love you".
　He buries his face in my chest with tears streaming down his face and gently hugs Black, who is shaking his shoulders in a small way.

"....I'm sorry....I'm sorry....for making you feel so scared...
No, I don't mind. What really freaked you out was the black one, right?
He said he won't be able to give up on Kaito-kun because he doesn't want to give up on him when Kaito is gone. ...that I'll never be able to laugh again...
I won't disappear. I promise I won't ever take Black's smile away.


　

".........I love you, Kite. I love you.
Yeah. I like you too, Black.

　When we communicated our thoughts to each other again, Black quietly closed his eyes.
　After stroking her silver-white hair, which shimmered in the moonlight streaming in through the window, I slowly lowered my posture and placed my lips on her small lips.

















　The confession is over, and now we've become lovers with Kuro.................I'm so embarrassed!　What do I do?　I can't see my face for real!
　When I suddenly feel embarrassed by the fact that we've reached a point where I feel like I want to scream in agony, Black smiles out of nowhere, taking out the golden fruit I was offering him.

''Kaito-kun, who gave you this?''
"...what?　Um, Alice, but...
'Huh, I see... so you don't know the 'meaning'?
'What?　Meaning?

　Come to think of it, I remember that I didn't know what that golden fruit was after all, and I tilt my head to ask Black, who smiles back.
　You'll be able to see a slight tint in his cheeks, and with a bashful smile he tells you, "I'm not going to give you the golden fruit.

''Presenting the golden fruit is a 'courtship' of the spirit race.
Huh?　Ehhh!
You give a gift of golden fruit and when the recipient eats it, it's a success. I've heard that the humans have been doing this for years, so I thought you knew about it.
Oh, that's right...

　Alice's stuff, what the hell is she giving away!　In other words, it seems that I proposed to Black before I confessed to him..................What's that, it's so embarrassing!
　

Wait, Black!
Oh, it's pretty fresh and tasty.
No, no, it's not good, it's not...

　The fact that Black eats it means that he accepts my proposal.
　After gazing at me happily, Black walks up to me with a natural movement and gently hugs me.

'.............Finally, I found you.
Black?
.....
....

　Tears spill out of Black's eyes again, and he gently hugs me as if I were a treasure.
　Black said he's been looking for something he's always wanted... and now he's found it.

Kite you'll be able to tell me everything about yourself and me. I'm going to give you everything you ever wanted and everything I've ever wanted, Kite.
Yes.

　I hug Black, who hugs me sweetly and leans against me, and I hug him back.
　I feel a sense of joy as my heart is gently wrapped around her, and I stroke her hair, which is pleasant to the touch.

'But just a little ... really a little ... wait...'
Yeah?
'Right now........the feeling that I love Kaito-kun is overwhelming me, and I can't think about anything else but Kaito-kun. I don't want to think about it.
' ... It's okay. I'm not in a hurry and I'm here I'll take my time.
''........Yeah. Kaito-kun.........I love you.......I love you.......no matter how much I try to say it, I can't fully express my feelings. Kite-kun.........thank you for coming to this world.......for meeting me.......

　Feeling the solid warmth of my beloved in my arms, my heart was filled with a peaceful happiness.

　Dear Mother, Father - the mysterious demon girl who met me in another world and saved me. She is kind, childlike and yet mature, and the most loving partner who always gave me a lovely smile.......and from today onwards, our relationship is moving forward in a big way From friend to lover.
