"Why can it be like this...? Though I was already immune to mind manipulation, but he could control my body without any difficulty."
"Well, don't mess with my experiment called Project Eo!" Shinobu started controlling Korrina's body to disappear Heaven's Prime before she destroyed everything.
"Why, Koneko...?"
"What are you trying to do with that dangerous Eldritch...? Are you not aware that Ragnarok has started because it was caused by Eo'syl?!"
"I know, but what happened we won't be able to stop, after all Eo has no business about it..."
"...that's why I tried to study Eldritch and Eo in order to create a way to escape this labyrinth."
"You remember what I said before, don't you...?" Shinobu asked with her two eyes shining red to the point of causing Korrina to start feeling scared when she saw her serious granddaughter.
"My hope is very bright and cannot be seen by those who do not understand about myself..."
"...you may be one of those people who's been blind from seeing hope for too long, you'll never be able to understand the solution I'm trying to do!"
Shinobu immediately grimaced in pain, her hands reflexively touching her head which was heavy and dizzy from using The Mind to stop Korrina.
Now he will never be able to touch the Eldritch because Shinobu uses The Mind to create an intention or law where Korrina is forbidden to kill or exterminate Eo.
When Korrina is detached from Eo's influence, she rushes towards the tube and tries to destroy it, but she does not know how to destroy it.
It felt like he was stopped by something outside of his own mind, "It's free, Grandma. I used The Mind to set you up to not destroy Eo."
"W-What did you say...? Koneko, what you're trying to do will only trigger further destruction than Ragnarok."
"Maybe." Answer Shinobu.
"What...?!" Korrina approaches Shinobu and kneels before him only to realize that Eldritch can play with concepts and give freedom.
"Don't you understand how far I've gone just to stop that damn Eldritch...!?"
"For years I went to explore different spacetime and different layers to force my way into the first singularity where Eo'syl was!"
"I managed to destroy her, but why did Zephyra and Ragnarok remain present!? I destroyed Eo'syl...!!!" Shouted Korrina loudly.
"It's hard to explain, but Eo'syl moved to the Touriverse layer and was taken over by Zangetsu and passed on to Anastasia to destroy the concept of magic."
"Everything you do, I know your sacrifice, still wiping out Eo won't change a fact that we'll still face an end like Ragnarok."
Korrina started to put on an annoyed expression because she now understood what Shira was trying to explain, she would never understand what Shinobu was thinking and trying to do.
"If Grandma wants to hate me and see myself as an enemy, that's fine..."
"...again Koneko didn't do all this for you, doesn't that sound selfish? It's only natural that I'm the granddaughter of a selfish Grandma as well." Said Shinobu with a serious expression.
"That is why those who are immune to the blindness of the hope I have will continue to support myself to the point where I reach it..."
"...I need Eo'syl to dig deeper into information I've never known before."
"But, Koneko. you're just using Eo'syl, just as you're trying to use everything..."
"Maybe."
"Koneko, you have become an enemy yourself.the enemy is trying to master and utilize Eldritch's abilities for something terrible..."
"Maybe I am evil and the next enemy for you." Answer Shinobu.
That answer instantly caused Korrina to feel dizzy until she did not know what to talk about next when she saw her grandson who currently looked so serious about something.
His goal was so great, not so different from what the descendants of Shiratori wanted, all that distinguished him was that he still did not understand what he was trying to do for the future.
"Already, Grandma..."
"...what we face, we need to solve without the need to find another solution because it is arguably too late."
"We have to face an end like Ragnarok, hopefully we can win yes." Shinobu again smiled innocently until her gaze again looked calmer like a child.
Shinobu stepped forward towards the tube only to move Eo'syl towards the magical world, Korrina could see clearly that she also received another great power.
"Koneko."
"Yes, grandma?"
"Your struggle... What is it that gives you?"
"A power to solve all the mysteries and truths that exist in all worlds, whether it be in or out of layers, I will try to solve them."
"Did Grandma know about the development I've been through all this time?" Ask Shinobu.
"I became a ruler of all Astral or Ghosts, all of which I could use for the future I always wanted in order to create a true sense of peace for everyone."
"The Mind that I have kept growing until I can now access a third percentage where I can ignore and destroy concepts immune to mind manipulation."
"W-What...? So that's why you keep influencing me." Korrina started to rise from the floor and touched both of Shinobu's shoulders.
"...everything that would be afraid turned out to be actually happening for real where I couldn't stop it at all!"
"I kept thinking about it non-stop, because we have now undergone many changes.I cannot see those who have enjoyed the peace of Touriverse fall in Ragnarok!"
"It all has to happen, Grandma..."
"...we are just slaves to Zephyra, which is why we as slaves are dragged into the biggest battlefields to show our ability."
"I'm just like you, Grandma..."
"...since I fell into a deep sleep for the first time, I instead moved into a room that looked like a library."
"There were so many innumerable books in there that I thought they were all dreams that I was so obsessed with reading books and digging up any information..."
"...but strangely I could read a book about Eldritch, until now I remember it..."
"...all of that slowly made me suspicious so I found a book called 'Boundless', once I opened it..."
"...all the information contained in it feels like it moved to my mind so that until now I continue to process it little by little!"
"Never rest with a good night's sleep again because I'm afraid... Koneko was afraid to visit that strange library." Said Shinobu with a worried expression.
"I already knew about Ragnarok before grandma came.it came on the first page of the book showing Ragnarok will happen where everyone will fall into an immovable victim."
Shinobu and Korrina continued to share their grievances about Ragnarok and other worrying things until they could no longer enjoy a rest like sleep but continued to think about problems like Ragnarok.
"Overthinking excessively is not good, Grandma." Shinobu said that it can help Korrina to sleep using The Mind.
"I know that, still, all of this happened because of my own mistakes.Fuck, the calculations I did still give a sad result." Korrina sat on the chair while holding her own head.
"We have to accept it..."
"...in the end, we remain a nation of Legends assigned to record countless histories and rebuild Touriverse into something better."
Korrina heard positive-sounding words from her granddaughter now, although her thought pattern was complicated to understand but she still saw positive things in her.
"At the end of the day, every deed you've done to confuse me, you're still the daughter of Kou Comi." Korrina smiled proudly and hugged Shinobu.
"Thank you, grandma, for understanding what I'm trying to do, hopefully we can win this war." Shinobu started stroking Korrina's head slowly.
Shinobu begins to use The Mind to control Korrina's mind so that she can feel the calmness that is able to bring herself to the dream world to rest with sleep.
Not long after, Korrina had already fallen asleep in Shinobu's arms quietly, this was the first time she could fall into a deep sleep without having to think about the negative things that triggered the worry.
Shinobu rushed Korrina to her room only to occupy herself on the mattress so that the body could also rest with a tenderness from the mattress.
"It turns out that what you said is true..."
"...Grandma looked desperate but she kept fighting to turn any mistake into the truth." Shinobu crawled on top of that bed.
"I'm sorry, Grandma, share all your experiences and memories out there with me so I can understand..." Shinobu kept her forehead above Korrina's forehead so that she touched each other.
All the memories and experiences that Korrina had at the time of her journey began had been shared with Shinobu until now understanding her choice.
"Alright.. study again...!"
"Koneko..."
"...will take shelter!"
***
"All right, I forgive you." Koizumi said as she looked the other way with a serious expression.
"Ehh...?" Korrina put on a confused expression when she found out Koizumi had come and stopped her training just to apologize.
"Unconditional..."
"Condition?"
"I'd like to see firsthand the abilities of my Grandmother that my own mother often admires, then..."
"...is Grandma willing to accept the challenge of competing from me without holding back in the slightest?" Koizumi asked who immediately raised her dagger.
They all put on shocked expressions when they heard Koizumi challenging herself in the match practice without having to hold back.
"Oi, why is the condition like that!?" Ask Arata.
"I just want to see it in person..."
"Hmm, okay." Korrina.
"Don't hold back..."
"...it's the same thing that just makes me even more unable to forgive yourself."
