To paraphrase Theon, that is the so-called gap in the world.
"The sword-wielding one, and the Heavenly Child. Well done."
"...You have to go."
The timid voice echoed directly in my mind. Although only a few words could be heard, what was incredible was that Ajit seemed to smile in response to Theon's question.
"In this case, it seems that we will never see each other again... However, since we have established a fate, maybe we will meet again. Then we can have a drink together... That would be really awesome."
As soon as he finished speaking, several rays of light flew from the shrine into the sky.
Countless lights like meteors disappeared into the halo as if they were being sucked in.
After the last beam of light entered the halo, the halo quickly narrowed, burst and disappeared.
"This is……"
As the halo bounces up, it begins to scatter light particles around it. Anne and others who were exposed there fled there as if running away.
"In the end, it seems that a simple barrier was set up in the area. Although it is not as powerful as before..."
"...The villagers who should be protected were all taken away."
Xion's explanation seemed to be due to him relaxing after the battle, with a hint of exhaustion. Ajit was surprised and even a little surprised.
What remains on this land are not the villagers he is supposed to protect, but the people who want to kill him.
Despite this, Obero still left behind the power to protect humans. As Theon said, Obero was a very tolerant god.
"Not only is it invincible, is there no chance of winning from the beginning?"
I can only smile bitterly at my own size and strength, as well as my own insignificance as a human being.
At this time, Aki suddenly realized something was wrong.
Even when it seemed like Theon would say a mean thing, he didn't.
"Easter?"
I called out to the boy who was talking matter-of-factly just now, but there was no response.
Looking towards the space behind the seat where he was sitting, his figure was there. But don't move...
I hurriedly raised his face to confirm his condition.
Although it was confirmed that he was still breathing, his eyes were closed stiffly, with no intention of opening them. If you look closely, your face seems to be less pale than before.
"Easter!"
He called out sharply again and patted his cheek, but there was no response. The motionless figure like a doll made him more and more anxious.
"'Mistrudin'! 'Alert' return to the ship immediately!... Istar is unconscious. Please have the medical team on standby."
The output of the "Asahi" dropped significantly, but there was still enough output to return to the ship.
Ajit suppressed the raging uneasiness in his heart and hurried towards the "fog".
Suddenly opening his eyes, Theon's vision was filled with a full moon and a starry night sky.
The surroundings are quiet, the air is fresh, and the breeze is gentle and refreshing.
(...Huh? But the back of the head seems to be soft?)
Immersed in the comfort and stayed in a daze for more than ten seconds.
Although he was lying on his back, his head was still at an angle, and there was a warm and soft feeling under his head.
"Ah, are you awake?"
Directly behind - as Theon's field of vision, a woman's face suddenly appeared from directly above, which surprised her. She was peeping at Theon unhurriedly.
Only then did he realize that he was being pillowed on her lap.
"What?"
"……What?"
Theon couldn't understand the situation, and the woman was confused by Theon's reaction.
Not saying anything to each other, time just passed meaninglessly.
"...Anyway, thank you."
"No, no, I didn't do anything. There's no need to thank you."
Although it was unclear, since he was pillowing on his lap, he concluded that he was taking care of the unconscious Theon, and then thanked him, he still answered in a leisurely tone.
It wasn't right to talk with your knees up anyway, so Theon decided to sit up.
(No dizziness or anything, and my body is not tired)
After calming down a little, I roughly grasped my current situation.
Theon fulfilled his agreement with Oboro, and after his physical strength and magic power were taken away, he moved Aletto and set up a barrier. As a result, Theon fell asleep from exhaustion.
But now, Xion's consciousness left his body and entered the Yuexia Shrine that he was accustomed to.
Because it is a state of only consciousness, it is a state of complete liberation from injuries and other injuries that the body pursues.
"Well, this is-"
He sat up and sat on the carpet looking at the woman opposite.
She is dressed like a miko, has waist-length black hair, and has golden eyes that look straight at her.
Considering this place and the various features about her, it was clear who she was, regardless of who she was.
"This is the first time we've talked properly like this. The person who called me..."
"...Hmm. To be honest, I didn't expect such an opportunity."
She answered Theon's call without hesitation, and she was the one responsible for causing Theon's consciousness many times so far.
Who asked Theon for help...
"You couldn't say this before, why is it this way this time?"
She smiled sheepishly at Theon's accusation, which suggested that it would be faster from the start.
"Actually, it's very difficult to say this. Being able to do this now is just a combination of luck."
"Are you lucky?"
Facing Xion's question, she nodded slightly.
"It's just because you were sleeping so deeply and the boundaries of the world have become blurred that there was such a conversation. I don't think there will be another chance."
"Then, it's better to move on to the topic quickly."
If this is just a random opportunity and you don’t know what will happen next time, then take this opportunity to ask the questions that need to be asked.
I don’t know how long this state of normal conversation can last, let alone.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Xion Istar...'The Son of God'."
"What about you?" I glanced at her with this meaning, and she sat upright politely.
"I am the Moon Goddess of the Moon."
The moonlight illuminated her dignity. He felt that the figure was very mysterious and fit the name 'Moon God Son' very well.
"...Aren't you surprised?"
"Both of them, right? I've guessed it a long time ago."
Zhu Yue was able to peek into Xion's memory, but without Zhu Yue's ability to interfere, he recruited Xion to this special place. At this time, he had already expected that Koyomi was a powerful being.
In this case, only special people other than people with godhood, or "sons of god" like Theon, can become candidates.
Plus the intimacy I felt when I saw the ancient calendar in my dream for the first time. Looking back now, it was probably because they were both "sons of God" that they felt so frightened.
"Next question, where is this place?"
Now that I know who Koyomi is, I move on to the next question.
If I had time, I would like to listen to a few more sentences, but I don’t know when it will end. It would be a pity to waste this time.
Ancient Li seemed to understand Xion's thoughts and immediately answered his question.
"This is Yueying's divine domain, an important sacred territory for this "country of disaster"."
"I've never heard of it..."
"That's okay, it has nothing to do with what I want to ask you for."
The name was too exaggerated, but Koyomi rejected it without a care.
But what really matters to her is——
"Is that kid the most important thing?"
"Well, of course, this is my precious child."
Koyomi, who spoke decisively, turned serious.
"I want you to help that kid - no, stop that kid..."
"...stop? That child?"
