The former site of Sonosaki's house.
Sonosaki Wakana walked slowly, but she finally got here.
Standing in front of the iron gate, looking at the houses that had been burned to ruins by the fire, even though she had been mentally prepared in advance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry quietly, tears streaming down her face.
"Father...sister..."
At this moment, a sudden wind blew, and with a "click", the iron lock on the door broke and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Sonosaki Wakana couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, raised her hand, and pushed gently.
squeak--
The iron gate, which had not been maintained for a long time, opened in response, making a somewhat harsh noise.
This made Sonosaki Wakana frown.
That wind just now...
I always feel that there is something indescribable, which is both sad and full of uncertainty.
She always had the urge to turn around and run away immediately.
However, after hesitating for a moment, she still lifted up her skirt and stepped in.
Because wasn't it already decided before coming?
This time, she will no longer choose to escape!
…
…
Sonosaki Wakana held up her skirt and walked slowly among the ruins of the house.
She was trying to find some familiar things, but she always found helplessly that those familiar things had already turned into remnants of buildings full of scorch marks.
He sighed softly.
Sonosaki Wakana Xu narrowed his eyes and replaced the ruins in his eyes with the complete building in his memory.
Immediately afterwards, she identified the location of the long table in the living room where the family used to have meals. She found her seat, cleared a piece of wood that could be used to sit on, and slowly sat down.
The hem of her skirt naturally spread out and wrinkled. Even in the ruins, she was still as beautiful as a real...
"——You are still as childish as before. With this outfit, do you think you are still the little princess of the Sonosaki family?"
The unceremonious voice suddenly sounded, bringing Sonosaki Wakana back to reality from the beautiful memories.
Complete buildings once again turned into dilapidated ruins in her eyes.
However, Sonosaki Wakana ignored her disappointment and stood up immediately, looking around.
"elder sister!"
she called urgently.
"What, are you looking for me? Wakana."
Sonosaki Saeko's voice sounded again, but compared with the previous elusiveness, this time, she appeared directly behind Sonosaki Wakana.
Sonosaki Wakana suddenly turned around, with a surprise smile on her face.
"Sister! Great, you are really alive!"
She hugged Sono Saki Saeko tightly with joy and excitement.
In response, Sonosaki Saeko gently stroked Sonosaki Wakana's hair, letting her hold her tightly and said.
"Yeah, I'm very happy to be able to survive."
The gentle movements, gentle voice, and the corners of the mouth were raised as if they were smiling softly, but there was no feeling of gentleness at all.
Immediately afterwards, Sonosaki Wakana, who buried her head tightly in Sonosaki Saeko's neck, asked excitedly and hopefully.
"Sister, where is my father? Do you know where he is? He should have survived, right? He..."
"he died."
However, the next second, this hopeful expectation was indifferently torn to pieces by Sonosaki Saeko.
"What!?"
Sonosaki Wakana asked in disbelief.
She couldn't help but lift her head from Sonosaki Saeko's neck and shoulders, retreated, and looked at Sonosaki Saeko with a dull expression.
In response, Sonosaki Saeko finally showed a real smile, but what the smile contained was not the warmth Sonosaki Wakana expected, but the downright malice.
"I said……"
The palm that was caressing Sonosaki Wakana's hair forcefully pressed down on the back of her head and buckled her back onto his neck and shoulders.
Sono Saki Saeko chuckled, put her lips to Sono Saki Wakana's ear, and spoke softly.
"……He is dead."
As she spoke, Sonosaki Saeko moved her hand downwards that was on the back of Sonosaki Wakana's head.
Then,
boom!
Just hearing a muffled sound, Sonosaki Wakana's consciousness sank into darkness.
The arms around Sonosaki Wakana's waist were strong, preventing the unconscious Sonosaki Wakana from slipping softly from her hands.
At the same time, Sonosaki Saeko slowly closed her eyes.
【W! 】
Dark and dense lines wrapped around her body, turning into a black and green alien knight W.
Then, a deep voice sounded from Sonosaki Saeko's mouth.
"Wakana, why do you want to come back..."
…
…
Underground Research Institute.
Next to the well connected to the Earth's core.
Sonosaki Wakana's consciousness woke up from the darkness, and she moved her palms back, subconsciously trying to hold down something to prop up her body. However, her palms that moved back did not touch anything. Her arms were hanging in the air, and her tilted body suddenly Just a stagger.
When he opened his eyes and turned his head to see the well with a green shimmer, he couldn't help but let out a scream of "Ah--" and moved his body away from the well.
In response, Sonosaki Saeko, who was working on something on the workbench next to her, said coldly.
"Quiet, Wakana."
"elder sister!?"
Hearing Sonosaki Saeko's voice, Sonosaki Wakana suddenly came back to her senses, and then finally remembered how she fell into a coma.
"Why……?"
After asking again, Sonosaki Wakana couldn't help but laugh bitterly without waiting for Sonosaki Saeko to answer.
Why, why...what exactly did she want to ask?
Why did the sister kill her father?
Why did her sister knock her out?
As for the answer, doesn't she know it very well?
My father wanted to execute my sister, so my sister just chose to resist.
She didn't like her sister, so she just punished her.
After all, she had clearly decided not to run away anymore, but after hearing the news and knowing that her father and sister had finally reached the step she least wanted to see, she still subconsciously wanted to veto it and start from there. Sonosaki Saeko got a better "result" there.
For example, Sonosaki Saeko suddenly smiled and said to her, "I'm sorry, Wakana, that was just a joke, forget it."
Even though it was just a lie to comfort you.
It was precisely because he realized that he had such thoughts that Sonosaki Wakana smiled bitterly after asking, and naturally no longer expected any answer.
She was even thinking that maybe, as her sister Sonosaki Saeko commented, after so many years, she was still as childish... innocent... as before.
But, as she decided upon her return to Wind City, she had to make a change.
Face all this, don't run away, be mature.
After gathering her emotions, Sonosaki Wakana tried her best to calm down. Looking at Sonosaki Saeko who was doing something on the workbench, she finally asked a question that she should have asked a long time ago.
"What are you doing? Sister, are you planning to do some more experiments on me before killing me?"
In this regard, just as he finished inputting the last command and pressed the OK button, Sonosaki Saeko looked up and looked at the sister she had not seen for about ten years with a smile.
Sonosaki Wakana knew exactly what kind of answer she wanted to get from her "why". It was too clear.
However, she didn't want to give it.
Why should she comfort this stinky girl who doesn't like her?
"Ah……"
Thinking of this, Sonosaki Saeko couldn't help laughing.
Speaking of which, she seemed to have liked this sister in the past.
But, later on I didn’t like it.
Even she herself didn't know when it started. Anyway, when she came back to her senses, she already really, really disliked this sister who could enjoy her father's love and praise without having to do anything.
Jealousy, competitiveness.
There are probably many reasons, and many things may have happened in the middle, but those are not important anymore.
Because, the current situation is that her love for her sister Sonosaki Wakana has long expired, so naturally she will not accommodate her.
She began to answer Sonosaki Wakana's last question.
"Experiment? No, Wakana, I have already tried this experiment on myself. On the contrary, the one just now was actually setting up a protection program for you."
Sono Saki Saeko smiled and walked up to Sono Saki Wakana.
Then, she took out a golden Gaia memory that Sonosaki Wakana was very familiar with and pressed the activation button.
【ClayDoll (Clay Doll)! 】
After letting go, the clay doll memory immediately flew up automatically, passed through the skin of Sonosaki Wakana's chest, and entered Sonosaki Wakana's body.
【ClayDoll (Clay Doll)! 】
Sonosaki Wakana's body involuntarily transformed into a clay doll hybrid.
This made her panic and lower her head to confirm her body.
"Sister...how could it be? There is no biological interface, no Gaia drive...it..."
"Surprise? I slightly modified it just for you."
Interrupting Sonosaki Wakana's words, Sonosaki Saeko said this, and at the same time took out the taboo memory and activated it, transforming into a taboo dopant.
【Taboo! 】
Then, a purple energy ball quickly formed from the hand of the taboo dopant, and she pressed it directly to Sono Saki Wakana's chest.
boom!
Wow——
The clay doll mixture exploded and turned into a field of clay fragments.
Then, a gust of wind blew up, blowing all the clay fragments into the well.
Immediately, Sonosaki Saeko, who transformed into a forbidden dopant, followed the fragments without hesitation and jumped into the well that directly connected to the core of the earth.
"Become one with me, Wakana."
Before jumping into the well, Sono Saki Saeko declared to Sono Saki Wakana who had reassembled into a clay doll doped body in the well.
