'Hey, hey. 17.(21)'

'What is it, 21.(17)'

'I have thought of an magnificent grand name for our 'berserk.'(21)'

'Oh, what is it. Tell me, 21.(17)'

'I call it, Chrono Trigger[Kuro no Torigah(Kuro's Trigger)](21)'

'Oh! You're genius, 21! But that would be plagiarism. Such a name already exists as game.(17)'

'It doesn't matter since we're living in other world.(21)'

'That's true. Alright, from now on you will become the name making representative.(17)'

'Roger! Roger!(NMR - 21)'

These 2 talked inside Kuro's mind as they got used to the feeling of fatigue—meanwhile Kuro, himself was stepping in and out with the ladder... While getting ordered by Ayame.

"Skip. Reverse. Reverse. Step. Reverse. Skip."

Of course his rhythm had already since ruined and he was just trying to move his feet to follow her order. It didn't matter if his leg got entangled. It didn't matter if he fallen to the ground. He will just move back and move again.

Fortunately, the Oni wasn't Oni enough to keep saying the order when is movement got unavailable. She would at least wait for him.

.

.

.

And, he finally fell to the ground.

Kuro's conscious was already faint the moment he did the first Step, Reverse and Skip. Although he have gained some resistances toward fainting after repeating the process of it, even the resistances would eventually fail if it gets repeated. Not to mention, his weak faint resistances.

At the very least, he had the sleepy tired Oni who lied to his side.

Since she met Kuro, her words counts everyday has increased. The number she laughs also increased. Kuro's stupid bad pun was just too funny to her. When the atmosphere between them get weird, he'll do something more stupid.

Then eventually, she'll laugh.

That's right. Kuro's effort to make her open up to him was not in vain.

The 2 slept as usual, describing their peaceful days in this age of war.

"I don't want to stay in this place anymore! It's boring! Praying everyday! Fortuning my own luck when I already know it! I hate you, god, you're too boring!"

There laid a children who threw tantrum facing the sky. Around her, there existed not a single life form. If to describe her surrounding, there existed nothing but a cherry blossoms and a shrine.

This place would definitely make a good vacation spots, but it was definitely not a good living places. This small island, was surrounded with nothing but sea, seperated for more than 1,000km to reach the nearest big island.

a single children who just born 4 years ago surviving here was already a miracle, if not, an impossible happening.

How did she take care of food problem?

How did she solve the water problem?

How did she survive the feeling of seclusion?

There built a shrine, but that was it. This place was already a impossible place for modern person to survive. No electric, no fire, no water, no tool.

But all of that wasn't a problem facing the current question: who is she talking to?

She was talking to 'god.'

She had the ability to talk with god which she unknowingly developed. and the god take care of her, in exchange of her taking care of this place; Sakura Shrine.

"...Please wait for 3 more years. Then I will enroll you to Mana Reigning Academy."

The 'sky' spoke to her.

Such a sexist treatment from god! If it was Kuro shouting toward the heaven using the exactly same word, the thunder would have befallen to him! This god, didn't complain nor drop the thunder to this pink-haired girl.

"Waaah, Really!? Thank you!!"

The pink-haired girl opened her eyes wides as the green-light escaped from her emerald-like pure pupils without a single taint nor darkness like a certain someone.

"Yes, it's a promise."

"The- then, after I enroll to it... can, you... let me meet my mother...?"

She asked the 'sky' nervously.

"I am sorry, but milady can't come to human realm."

"Oh..."

Pink-haired girl's eyes started getting watery, and she seemed to cry any time. But, the water couldn't escape from her eyes. If she cried here, her mother, whom she never met before, would be disappointed to her.

"But, milady can speaks to you. Would you like to speak with her right now?"

"Really? I want! I want!"

She suddenly shook her body aggressively as she smiled to the sky happily.

"Miko, have you been doing well?"

"...mama?(mom) I, I want to meet yo-"

"Miko, grow well, and strong."

Her 'mother' ignored what the pink-haired girl said and only said a single sentence. Afterward, the 'call' was cut off, from the sound of it, it was cut off from the other side.

...

"I... get it... Okaa-san...(mother)"

That was her talk with her so-called 'mother'

-----

"Kuro~ I have came back~"

In the same forest, at the exactly same spots, at the precisely same trees where Kuro trained with his step-ladder, an white and blue blur appeared, before it manifested a form.

"Botan-Onee-Chan, Lamy-Onee-Chan, Hello! What's the matter?"

"I've brought you the 'materials' you've asked."

The white-lion showed her palm toward Kuro which laid an black ring with some strange skull. That ring stabbed 3 Kuros' Chuunibyou heart.

"What is this?"

"This ring is called Void Lord's 4th Dimension... Well with your mana controls, it would be easy for you to use this item. The materials you wanted is inside this ring. Then, bye!"

She rushed out after giving out Kuro's tools.

Why did she have to rush out after meeting Kuro in a while... it made him feel a little bit sad but well.

As for Botan, she rushed to Reign Empire. Not because it's in danger our it is at under five-levele emergency. It was because she wanted to eat more MakDonald's food. Because of MakDonald, she delayed Kuro's delivery for many days.

Keeping his sadness aside, he curiously inserted his right middle-finger into the black skulls-ring. Under the gazes of the also curious Oni, he controlled his mana to wander inside the ring.
