'Who, who should I save?!' The other guardians were protecting themselves, and Koujo was busy distracting the god monster. 'It's a very difficult choice.' But, I must still choose otherwise they both will die.
“I'm sorry for my selfishness.” With a heavy heart, I chose to protect Sylvi which I was supposed to protect from the beginning, and left Amane.
“This pain.” Pain, regret, and also helplessness.
A few moments later
“Ryuga.”
Sett
Sattt
Sretti. Sfx: slash.
“K-You..” It's over here, and I rushed back to Amane's place to save him but...
“I, i..” I failed once again. Unable to save Ai, this time I also failed to save Amane. “I..” I can't continue my words. “She hasn't even said the parting gift she wants, but why..”.
Kotaro's back. “Akarui, I've managed to bring it to the forest.”
“So.”
“Akarui..”.
“Shirame, Ryuga.” Losing for the second time, this made my emotions unbearable again.
Hiroaki went towards the place where the god monster was.
“Koujo-kun.
“Angelia-san, you're safe, thank goodness. Looks like he's keeping up with my request.”
“Koujo-kun's chat. Shirayuki already..”.
“So, yes. So that's the reason.”
DUARRRR
A huge shaking occurred, and there was a huge explosion coming from the direction of the forest. “Koujo-kun.”
“You better help others, I'll help him first.”
“Good.” They separate.
DUAARRRR
DUAARRRRR
DUAARRR
DUAARRRRR
A huge shock and followed by the sound of a powerful explosion repeatedly sounded.
“This is very urgent, if he continues to do so this will be very dangerous.”
“Koujo-kun.
“K-You..”.

Meanwhile.
DUAARRR
DUARRRR
DUAARRRR
A huge explosion occurred every time my sword hit him, and the more I attacked his defenses weakened. Until at the end.
Gubbraakkk
This god monster fell. “Ryuga, Shirame!!” My sword gave off an aura, a sign that the power I used was already over 10% and that was also the limit I had. “HAAAAAA!!!!!”
A few moments later.
Srashhhh
I stabbed him with both of my swords, and the god monster began to vanish. “Completed.”

“Ghaaaa..” My body feels very sick. “S-It seems, I use too much mana.” At least this has happened before, so I don't have to worry.
My eyesight began to be myopic. “Sials... A-me..” And after that, I don't remember what happened after that.
“Haa, finally you vent it too.”
“You..”.
“I am you, and you are me. You could say I am the other side of you. Pain, suffering, loss, all those bitter things I endure.”
“It feels quite strange to hear myself apologize to myself.”
“Where is this?”
“Your subconscious, running out of energy and also unconsciously releasing the anger that you have been craving.”
“Anger?”
“I am you, and you are me. There's no way you don't know it, unless you want to forget it.”
“What did you say?”
“Time to wake up, see you again. Or maybe, you and I won't be able to meet like this again.”
“Hiroaki, Hiroaki!!” A familiar voice to me, and therefore I slowly opened my eyes.
“A-Amane.”
“H-Hiroaki... Thank goodness, you're alive.” I don't know what I saw, but it looks like Amane survived.
“Thank God, you survived.”
“Hiroaki.”
“How long have I fainted?”
“Some minutes.”
“Once, yes.” It turned out to be much shorter than what I expected, even though this incident had never been expected before. An incident where I almost used 15% of my abilities.
“Wah, I didn't expect it to be like this.” (??)
“Most forests are scorched in just minutes.”
“What an incredible power.” Somehow the guardians who initially thought I was an enemy, even gathered here.
“Hiroaki.” I slowly started to wake up. “What is your body, is it okay?”
“No problem, spending almost 15% of my ability does give a very extraordinary load to me, but I'm fine.”
“A-What.. 15%, that much power is only 15%.”
Unknowingly, it was almost afternoon.
“Amane, I'll go home first. See you at home.”
“Eh, y-ya.”
I immediately moved to Amane's house. “Haa, very tiring.” At least, I thank god Sha for bringing me here so quickly, otherwise. “Ghaaaa..” My body started to hurt again. “Ghaaaaa!!” My whole body feels like it's being pointed at by hundreds of swords.
A few minutes later.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha.” My body was so sweaty that it endured the pain. And because of that, I decided to use the bathroom to clean myself up.
A while later.
The side terrace of the house.
“Haa, so it's a side effect.” Side effects because I use my sword strength excessively. 13% is my limit to use the ability of my two swords, if more than that then the environment will be like earlier. “15%, yes.” At least that's almost 15%. “Looks like my body is still very weak.” That much power, only in my two swords, if my two swords were not there, I could not possibly use that much power.
“I, very tired.” The fight had drained me almost all of my strength, and it might have taken me a little while to make my body recover.
Tomorrow.
A bright morning.
I slowly opened my eyes. “Hiroaki, you're up.”
“Amane, yes.” Looks like I overslept.
“Hiroaki, here's the tea.”
“Thanks.” I don't know, but it looks like Amane's attitude today is a little different than before. “Amane, has something happened to you?”
“Eh? T-nothing.”
“So.”
“Hiroaki, how is your body doing?”
“No problem, I'm fine.”
“So.”
As expected, there was something strange about him. He looks moody, but since he said it's okay I can't interfere. “Amane, is your summer vacation PR done?”
“Already.”
“So. Then, how about we go to the playground today?”
“Eh? Why?”
“Nothing, I think I need to rest my mind. Using such a huge force, it made my body and mind slightly shaken. Therefore, how about today we go to the playground only.” Everything I said was just a lie, my body and mind were fine, just that the one inside of me was drained and I needed a little time to recover. And my goal was to take him to the playground, just to divert the atmosphere.
“Alright, I'll be ready soon.”
“Yes already, I will wait for you.” As expected, something happened to him. Normally, he would be happy when I took him, but today was different. “What really happened to him.”
