The former site of Sonosaki Residence.
The mansion that was once burned to rubble has been abandoned for many years because it was left unattended.
Suddenly, a teleportation magic circle unfolded in front of the ruins, and Tokiwa Shougo stepped out of it.
He rubbed his chin and looked at the deserted ruins of the mansion, a slightly distressed expression appearing on his face.
Because the green beam of light had disappeared, he was a little bit blind now. He only knew that this area should be where the beam of light rose, but he didn't know where it rose from.
After thinking for a moment, he walked into the ruins and began to look for the entrance to an underground chamber.
And just as he was looking for it, a green figure rode a motorcycle and broke through the door directly. Then in Tokiwa Shougo's surprised eyes, he released the transformation of e, jumped off the motorcycle, and passed through the ruins with great clarity. Rushed in one direction.
This figure is Phillip who is coming quickly.
"Hey, you..."
Tokiwa Shougo blinked and waved, just as he was about to say hello, Phillip rushed past him as if he hadn't seen him.
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, Tokiwa Shougo retracted his outstretched hand and smiled awkwardly.
He didn't say anything more, he just followed Phillip through the ruins and ran towards the abandoned church on the other side.
Then, following Phillip, he entered the Sonosaki family's underground research institute from the entrance inside the church.
It's just that the door to the underground research institute has been tightly closed, and the thick alloy door is blocking Phillip's way.
Phillip wailed, clenching his fists and banging on the alloy door, crying.
"Sister! Sister Saeko!! Did you capture Sister Wakana? No matter what you want to do, I beg you not to do it right? Sister Saeko, Sister Wakana is your sister! Your biological sister! She is a family member! ! Sister Saeko, please open the door, please open the door!? Please open the door——!!!”
Suddenly, Phillip, whose vision was blurred by tears, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because he found that the fist he knocked on the alloy door was empty, as if the alloy door blocking him suddenly disappeared. Same.
"What's this?"
He raised his hand and wiped his eyes hard to wipe away the tears stuck in them. Philip was shocked to find that a black round hole appeared on the alloy door blocking him.
Tokiwa Shougo: "It's a door, a 'door' that can pass through this alloy door."
Phillip turned around in response and saw Shogo Tokiwa looking at him with a very innocent expression, holding the Wizard's knight watch in front of his chest with his thumb on the start button.
【Fall! Please! 】
Tokiwa Shogo maintained the magic that could pass through obstacles, pointed at the black hole, and asked Philip with a smile.
"Aren't you going in?"
Phillip's hesitation didn't even have time to blink, and he nodded affirmatively.
"Enter!"
After saying that, he immediately leaned over and got into the magic hole.
Tokiwa Shougo then stepped in as well.
After Tokiwa Shougo entered, the magic cave gradually shrank and disappeared.
…
…
In the underground research room.
After entering, Tokiwa Shougo looked around and found that there was no one except Philip who came in first.
But Philip, who came in first, seemed to have lost his soul. He stood blankly beside the well connected to the core of the earth. There was a depressing atmosphere all over his body. This made Chang Pan want to ask something. Zhuang Wu always felt a little embarrassed to speak, so he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Therefore, he first looked for the switch of the alloy door, opened the alloy door, and then walked to Phillip's side.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at Phillip's expression, then followed Phillip's line of sight and looked at the well connected to the core of the earth.
He continued to take two steps forward and looked down at the situation in the well. When he saw the green light in the well, Tokiwa Shougo finally realized where the previous green light beam was ejected from.
He still remembered what Woz said before that the Sonosaki family was able to create Gaia memory because their family discovered a well connected to the core of the earth.
so……
"This is it, the well discovered by the Sonosaki family that is connected to the core of the earth."
Tokiwa Shogo murmured to himself in a loud voice, which was actually meant for Phillip to listen to. In order to attract his attention, break the depressing atmosphere around him, open up the topic, pull out some information, and enhance his feelings.
But just when Tokiwa Shougo was expecting Philip to ask something like "How did you know?", he found a figure walking past him and about to jump directly into the well.
[F*ck! ? ]
Tokiwa Shougo suddenly had a question mark in his head, and quickly reached out to hold the wrist of Philip who was trying to jump into the well, and asked.
"what are you doing?"
Phillip came back to his senses and looked at Tokiwa Shogo blankly.
"I……"
At this moment, the panting Zuo Shotaro ran in from outside the alloy door and saw Shogo Tokiwa holding Philip's wrist with a "concerned" expression on his face, while Philip...
"???" Zuo Xiangtaro asked in shock, his breathing slightly stagnant, "What are you doing?"
The atmosphere at the scene was frozen to freezing point.
Tokiwa Shogo reflexively let go of Phillip's wrist and coughed twice.
Don't get me wrong, it's not what you think... Tsk, of course Shogo Tokiwa wouldn't say that, and he's not filming an emotional soap opera.
He explained to Shotaro Zuo generously.
"I think your partner may need a little enlightenment...because he seemed to want to jump into this well just now."
As he spoke, in order to facilitate Zuo Shotaro's understanding, Tokiwa Shogo also raised his finger and pointed to the well in front of him that was connected to the core of the earth.
Following the direction of Tokiwa Shougo's finger, Shotaro Zuo also saw the well.
Then, he looked at Phillip's expression, and when he saw Phillip's subconscious reaction of looking away, he knew that what Tokiwa Shogo said was true.
Unable to help sighing, Shotaro Zuo did not blame Phillip for anything, but tried to control his emotions and asked.
"……What happened?"
Phillip was silent for a moment and explained to Shotaro Zuo.
"Saeko-nee, in order to obtain the power of Xtreme, she may have given Wakana-nee to...but just now, I seemed to have heard Wakana-nee's call, so I couldn't help but walk towards the well."
After finishing speaking with a slight hesitation, Phillip took a deep breath to calm down and then added.
"I'll go take a look at the Earth Library."
Opening his arms, Philip entered the Earth Library in a flash of green light.
As soon as he entered, Philip heard the call from Sono Saki Wakana again.
"Philip..."
"Sister Wakana!"
Philip ran around the Earth Library, calling loudly.
"Sister Wakana, where are you!?"
"I'm here."
The bookshelf moved and moved to both sides, forming a long path, so Philip finally saw the back of Sono Saki Wakana.
"Sister Wakana——"
He quickly ran behind the figure and raised his hand to press the other person's shoulder.
"you……"
The figure turned around, but Phillip's eyes widened and his breathing stagnated.
Because, it was clearly Sonosaki Wakana's back, but after turning around, the face revealed was not Sonosaki Wakana, who had been with him day and night for ten years, but Sonosaki Saeko!
Looking at Philip who was so stunned that he lost his voice, Sonosaki Saeko raised the corners of her lips and greeted him with a smile.
"Long time no see, here comes someone."
