The soft wind blowing in the divine realm shook the same silver-white hair, and golden eyes crossed each other.

''........Looking back on it now, the reason I created the existence of you......was really just a whim, wasn't it?''
Yeah?
I can't quite understand what I was thinking at the time, but now I do. I'm glad I created you.
Hey, what's going on?　Suddenly....

　As usual, there is no inflection, but in a tone of voice that feels somehow peaceful in all of them, Sharovanal announces, and Crom'eina nods her head in wonder.

'It really is strange. You and I should be able to say that we are the same being, yet everything is different. Our personalities, our way of life, our 'height and chest size' are like opposites.
'That last one has nothing to do with it!　I can shapeshift!　This isn't the limit, you know!
'But yes. I suppose there are some similarities, after all.
Hey, White. Will you listen to me?　What did I just say that was so important?

　Shalovanal spins his words through Crom'eina's appeal with a flourish. Crom Eina, who has known him for a long time, thinks that there is no use in correcting him further and lets out a sigh.
　However, the dumbfounded expression on her face changed with Sharovanal's next words.

''Even though we are diametrically opposed, oddly enough, we.......sought the same existence.''
....

　Crom'eina knew immediately that it was referring to a pleasant person. However, he didn't understand the truth of Sharovanar's words until the truth of Sharovanar's words.
　It was true that Kaito had come to this world because Crom Eina had crafted the summoning magic circle. It is not a strange phrase to say that he is the existence that Crom Eina sought.
　However, the way it's phrased now, it sounds like Sharovanal also sought a pleasant person. It's true that Chrome-Eina knows that Sharovanal likes a pleasant person... but even she, who has known him for a long time, did not understand the depths of Sharovanal's heart.

　However, Sharovanal stopped speaking once there, and after a short pause, she smiled slightly.

''Well thanks to you, I have learned that I have a mind of my own. I never had a chance to say it until now but thank you, Black.
...White....
I don't know how you feel about it, but you're more than just an identical entity to me, you're a 'dear friend'.
'Ah, haha, I get embarrassed when you say that so suddenly. Really, what's wrong with you today?

　At the straightforward Sharovanal's words of gratitude, Crom'eina rubbed her cheeks in embarrassment. She seemed somewhat happy to be called a friend by Shalovanal, even though she seemed to wonder if she was happy to be called a friend by Shalovanal.

''........If it weren't for you like that......I would have been able to choose more 'ruthless means' without hesitation......''
What?

　With those words, the atmosphere of Shalovanal changed completely. The somewhat calm air from earlier disappeared, and a tingling, skin-stabbing menace enveloped the surroundings.

''........My half, Crom Eina.
Huh?
"....where the 'real beginning' was, I'm not going to argue that now. If you are the beginning of his story, then I stand at the end of it this is a 'declaration of war' from me to you.
Shh, White?　What the hell are you...?

　A sudden declaration of war, and to Crom'eina, who was confused by his words, Sharovanal continued to speak indifferently without changing his expression.

''The decisive battle is from the night of the 29th day of the Heavenly Moon to the end of the 30th day ... until the time of repatriation ... be prepared for it. This battle is not the same as 20,000 years ago. There is no "tie". There is only 'my victory or defeat', one of which will decide the matter.
...White, why did you....why did you...?
"There are things I can't give up. Even if I have to face you, my friend, if you want to protect Kaito-san, you should be able to do your best too.
....

　Shalovanal's resolve was firm. That could be read even if his expression didn't change. That's why.........I didn't understand.
　Even so, what is it that Shalovanal is seeking........what is the true beginning.......after all this time, Chrome-Eina still doesn't know what her friend, Shalovanal, is. I was keenly aware that I didn't even know about this.

　These two entities, which confronted each other once 20,000 years ago, now face each other again. The singularity of Miyama Kaito is at the center of this story.

So, that's the end of our talk. Let's have a cup of tea.
Huh?
Would you like a baby sponge cake for tea?
'What?　No, no, no, wait ... please, wait!
What is it?

　But then, in an instant, the tense air disappeared and Sharovannal announced in his normal, intonation-free voice. Of course, Crom'eina couldn't keep up with the sudden change, and a look of amusement appeared on her face.

''........Where did the tense atmosphere from earlier go!
You know what?　It's not a willing one, and as for where we're going, isn't that the way the wind blows?
'No, no!　Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What's up with all the shouting?
I don't know. I don't really understand White.
'Really?　
Well ... yeah ... yeah.

　Chrome-Eina's shoulders slumped in dismay at Sharovanal, who performed her usual natural blurbs as if there was nothing to talk about earlier.
　Then, with a resigned expression, he sat down on the chair that Shalovanal had made appear and started drinking tea.

''........I mean, can I drink tea with the person who declared war on me?''
Yeah?　I've declared war, but I don't dislike you... and I don't dislike you... and we've been hostile since the 29th day of the heavenly moon, so it's not a problem to have tea now.
... hmmmmm.

　The conversation between the two concluded with an air of stupidity........but by no means did what Sharovanal had said disappear.
