"Shino-bu! Hey, Shinobu...!" Koizumi tried to wake Shinobu who had fainted for three whole days.
Koizumi couldn't help herself anymore by forcing herself to get up as quickly as possible before the situation got worse for her because of the myriad things they had to take care of.
Shinobu heard Koizumi's voice clearly and then she opened her eyes slowly until Koizumi could clearly see that the real eye did not contain any life because it had lost Tech.
"Sister..." Shinobu touched his left eye and realized that it had been destroyed when Tech fell, the glasses he was looking for were also no longer there because they were destroyed along with Tech.
Shinobu could only sit still and take a deep breath to slowly exhale until she sat on her bed and made everyone feel grateful to see that she was fine.
Shinobu took off all the bandages she was wearing and ate the herbal leaves to recover her condition quickly, she immediately smiled innocently at them to seal her already destroyed self.
"For now. anu... Koneko well---" Her little body received a hug from Koizumi, not just herself but both friends and Hinoka immediately embraced her.
Shinobu put on a bitter look then she hugged themselves back, "Sorry for worrying you guys, now..."
"...let's continue. About Tech I can hold alone.along with all the Neko Legends who might be killed."
"Foolish base.if you can't afford to fight it yourself." Said Koizumi who looked worried because she thought yesterday Shinobu was dead because of a slow heartbeat.
"Ahaha... Sorry..."
"Nobu, I'm glad you're okay..." Said Ako who was moved when she saw herself had woken up from a long enough fainting spell.
"M..."
"Koneko~ if you are still not feeling well or not healthy then leave it to me who will sing a melodious song!" Said Hinoka who looked excited.
"Don't you still have to master your voice and tone to be able to create enough music to make Shinobu heal." Konomi said because she had closed both ears when Hinoka sang.
It felt like the eardrum exploded when he heard his voice so loud, Hinoka immediately puffed both cheeks in front of Konomi.
"Buuuuu..your taste is ugly...!"
"Everyone would agree... I'm also." Said Koizumi who started to touch Hinoka's forehead.
"Aw!"
They returned as usual, laughing and coming home from the recovery room. Shinobu was already used to hiding all her feelings of sadness and loneliness, her two friends and cousin were enough to improve her mentality as well.
Not long after, they needed to face Arata directly who was waiting for them. There were so many things he needed to talk to them.
"Yet you came too..." Arata sees them all coming simultaneously, he starts opening his drawer and occupies a document about the magician Aerith.
"I'm really impressed that you can stop this one witch without the help of the legendary rebel, congratulations." Said Arata.
They all immediately celebrate each other, Shinobu recalls the incident where he hit Aerith thin enough until he was trapped inside the bounce towards the dimension for all eternity.
"Shinobu Koneko." Call Arata.
"Y-Yeah...?" Asked Shinobu who looked nervous to talk to Arata.
"There are so many Neko Legends who died when the ink witch attacked."
"Is that what you did?" Ask Arata.
"That's right. I moved them all to safety."
"I want you to take care of all the Neko Legends that are still alive and then give them a suggestion to be able to contain their anger."
"It should be my daughter's job but she's currently going a long way.she herself trusts you as someone who can only take care of them all."
"All right, I'll take care of it..." Shinobu nodded then Hinoka hugged herself from behind.
"Just relax, Koneko~ we will definitely help kok---"
"No, it was better for Shinobu herself to take care of it, seeing that all Neko Legend went berserk due to the deployment of the royal army especially Aerith then their sense of trauma would increase."
"Most likely they will indeed kill an ordinary Legend who does not have the same looks as himself, your last meeting is the last sense of trust they have."
"It's a pity that I've been expecting them to come with us to take care of another matter regarding the rebellion." Koizumi crossed both arms.
"That's all I need to tell you. For now, enjoy your childhood with rest. I'll call you back about the assignment later."
"The Academy will also be reopened one week later, use this time to be the most valuable thing for you and do not forget about the practice!"
They all nodded then decided to go visit Shimatsu restaurant in order to celebrate their victory because they had defeated the most annoying witch because of her magic.
"Mother, how many times have I told you to drink Vodka at home." Said Koizumi who looked annoyed because her mother continued to drink recklessly.
"Just relax, I'm not going to get drunk. Yeah, right, Ophilia?" Haruka asked Ophilia who sighed because she herself gave a lot of orders to herself.
"You kids want to order what?" Ophilia asked the children who had just completed their mission.
""As usual~!""
Shinobu clenched both of her fists as she herself needed to tell the bad news about Tech to Ophilia and Haruka who of course knew clearly Tech had been with them all from the start.
***
""Tech destroyed...!?"" Exclaimed Ophilia and Haruka who were putting on shocked gazes instantly, they had not expected to hear it now.
Somehow they would feel the day that Tech had simply crumbled from being given the last task of protecting Shinobu, seeing their overreaction like that made him bow his head directly.
"Sorry..."
"You don't have to blame yourself like that, Koneko. No one is to blame." Haruka said as she rubbed her head slowly.
"Tech has been loyal to the descendants of Comi since the beginning of his awakening by your Grandmother, seeing himself destroyed with the last goal accomplished..."
"...I'm sure Tech will also be happy if you don't blame yourself. Kou and of course your Grandma will also definitely feel proud of him."
"Tech's last goal was almost the same as the choice of fate for him. If he was destroyed so quickly then it was the same as me. I was indeed weak." Shinobu lowered her head.
"Have not demeaned yourself like that, you have defeated the Zodiac Crusaders and a powerful wizard of this age..."
"...you can say you are strong with your own efforts and struggles. Continue that effort..." Said Haruka who was trying to encourage herself.
The night had come, Shinobu opened the door of her cabin and did not forget to say something that is 'me go home', as a result no one answered.
This time he was completely alone with a reputation that had grown chaotic since the fight against Aerith, Anastasia's existence also eliminated instantly because he had already given permission to all of them.
"German..." Shinobu put on a glum look, he immediately visited the basement and got a lot of welcome from machines and robots that were not lived by the Tech system.
They all worked as usual, creating new hands and feet for him until Shinobu could only stay still as he was thinking of creating a new system but he was too painful.
"Tech can not be replaced.creating a new system as well.it could be that I lose more people who are close..." Shinobu opened her closet filled with her left eye, she took it and put it on.
Shinobu looked at herself in front of the mirror and clenched her fists as she still had an unworked task of meeting the Legendary Neko.
"... ..." Shinobu immediately thought back to Shira's words before she visited the remote island.
"Do you think it's a good idea to fix them all...? Are you able to realize millions and even an infinite number over the entire population of Touriverse about Neko Legend...?"
"Have they wanted that all this time...? Calmness and the outside world.I'm sure their grudges give them motivation to fight and fight the nation of Legends."
"Especially with the form of the Legendary Beast Neko, they received an immense power that was extremely frightening and potentially full of great destruction."
"Do you think it's a good idea to let them all feel the suggestion of you...?"
"I'm sure you can find the answer I'm trying to get you, granddaughter."
Shinobu instantly flew high up into the sky past her automatically open roof, she unleashed a huge burn through both her soles and hands to visit their secret place.
It felt quite lonely, he felt empty without the sound of Tech who always accompanied him by giving advice, solutions, and praise every time he managed to do something with his own efforts.
Ten seconds later, Shinobu had already arrived so fast thanks to her own speed. He could feel his body and Lenergy was still unstable due to the strength he used against Aerith.
Shinobu touched the large leaf in front of him until it opened and then he entered a forest that was so safe because it was covered by all the leaves, he was surprised by all the Neko Legends gathered right in front of him.
"Mother of nature, we've been waiting for your arrival." A man started to approach Shinobu and then touched her hands.
"Anu.. please stop that call. I am not comfortable being called by any nickname..."
"...Shinobu or Koneko alone is enough..." Shinobu said, they all nodded with a mounted smile.
Somehow they could still smile and support his positive expression like that, Shinobu tried to read their minds but his head immediately felt heavy.
"alright... Koneko, seeing the state of the world being destroyed like this, we are not so sure that mentally we can hold it any further."
"We want to say something important to you..."
"Maybe it..."
