Mr. Homura said, "It didn't go as expected, it's a difficult problem," and left first with a frustration.

Homura-san's expectation is that if I (which is only Homura-san's opinion) can fight Misaki and break through the hard defense wall that is so hard that it is bound to my heart, will there be a change in mood? It must have been...

The results are as you can see.

There was no change in the Masaki, but rather the strength of the belief, which can be called its meaning, emerged.

Homura-san must have done the same already.

"Oh, well done, Gil. It's as strong as ever."

"You don't think so, do you?

Misaki responds with tingling.

"What do you mean? I meant it quite seriously." Ah, you mean humble?

Well, I'm not good at exploring my stomach.

It's best to ask directly.

There's nothing I can do about it.

"That's not true. Misaki, you didn't attack, did you?

"You were..."

"With general magic. That's not a magic trick for defense, is it?

"... if you say that, Gil, you're not using it, are you? Not each other."

‥ ‥ ‥

Sure...

It hurts when you say that.

"Mine shouldn't be used in a battle like this. We have to be ready to kill them."

Me too. That's why I don't use it. Because I'm not in that role. I'm good enough to be in the air with everybody. "

"... Is that why things have been so weird lately?

Misaki tries to contest something, making it a little clogged, but she exhales to cut it out.

"Gil, you look just like me.... well, can I talk to you?"

"Come on, honestly, I don't really care about other people."

"Eh!?

I accidentally leak my voice to Misaki's unexpected remarks.

That mishap!? A girl who can take care of you!?

"Surprising, huh? But that's what it is. I'm not saying you don't like it. It's true that I like everyone. But I don't have the courage to go deep. I'm not interested in people, and I'm not interested in myself. Everyone breaks when I hit them with all my might. I decided to keep everyone's air together, not disturb the circle, and live like that. That was the significance of my existence.

Misaki gets a sigh.

"This school is strange, isn't it? People change more and more due to other people's influence and environment. Like Dorothy and Loki these days. I guess I don't have to be dazed about the role I had, just like this. It becomes natural without me, and I literally become the air. I can't change. I'm not worth anything."

Extreme.

"Then change it, Misaki."

Misaki shakes his head.

"I can't. You don't grow up like that. People don't change, they live in roles. Well, it's just that I might have been in a role where I didn't need it from the stage anymore."

"Isn't it strange that other people would change if you said that? Why is it just a masaki?"

"Others are confident they can accept change. I don't have such a thing. I'm not supposed to change."

Masaki tells a theory that he doesn't understand.

Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about.

However, I somehow understand that I have a strict view of what is called my change.

"--ahh, I don't know anymore, the story is too abstract. What do you want to do, Misaki?"

Then the sharpness stops.

"What do you want to do?"

"I can't make a difference, but whatever you're saying, isn't it true that you're mourning it yourself? Don't you want that to happen?

Misaki looks at me with her eyes open.

Maybe Masaki didn't take an objective look at his current situation.

It's the first time I've noticed such a look.

"... I guess so. I thought you were the only one who could do that. Gil is the same person that I am. [M] It's almost finished, that's what I thought."

Pretty sharp.

But it's just a little different.

"I may not be able to change, but I'm not giving up on changing. I came to this school because everyone expected me to. What makes you so afraid of change?

"You're treading a lot."

"First time? Okay, you can tell me that sometimes. We're all alike, aren't we?

Misaki stares at me.

Then he sighed and continued.

"... I was the youngest child since I was a little girl, but I had a different level of magic than other sisters. --I wonder, oneechan's been bullying me, and my magic will hurt my opponent. Every time I get scolded and I regret it... if it's so hard to be so powerful, I swear I won't use it to attack because I don't want anyone to see it from the beginning."

"Is that why you quit changing?

"Because if I don't attack, nothing will break. Neither body nor relationship. If you just endure it, it will pass. I have lived reading the air with as many circles as possible so that my daily life in the family doesn't disturb my sisters' circles when I grow up. That way, everything that's been going on up until now is gone. I thought it was right to live that way when I was young. If I change, my relationship will get cracked again. I can't change."

"Be patient and be a good boy, and if you look good, no one will get hurt."

"Isn't that true?

Has a successful experience in the wrong direction shaped you?

Did nobody say anything?

No, I'm sure they told me.

But still, it was more important for a small Masaki to live in a small community called the family.

That's why I prioritized comfort in it. Of course not.

"So, everyone in this school also has a role, and I just have a role to play, so I thought it would go smoothly and my place wouldn't disappear like before. Everyone changes and grows."

Misaki says so lonely.

I don't know about the family situation, but I can see it with cold eyes because I have too much power. I know how it feels painful.

Maybe Masaki saw through me, including that, and felt like they were similar to each other.

"Unless there's someone who can take my full breath..." "Gil, you can't."

That's how Misaki leaves.

Maybe he was expecting it. Destroy your defenses with overwhelming force and you'll have to use them to attack.

Beyond my role, I hope you move.

If so, am I the one who made the wrong choice?

After all, I relaxed and fought to the end. So that was a mistake in the first place?

- Okay. Then let's do it.

If I were to use my powers, it would be the only place I could be right now.

I'll rip that sticky smile off your face and pull you out of your nature.

"Misaki"

Misaki looks back.

"Come up to me in the rookie fight. I'll crush your shell to pieces."

Do you think you and my kind of Gil can get up to that point? You'll lose anyway along the way. "

"I'm going to make it special just this time. So don't lose until you hit me."

Misaki smiles small.

"Even though the combination hasn't come out yet. I'm over-conscious, so I'm looking forward to it."

Misaki, who doesn't usually talk much about himself, told me that much about himself.

I'll take it as your SOS.

--After all, I feel like Homura-san gave me a proper ride, but... this is my intention.
