On the airspace within the Hyperion ship
A petite white-haired, blue-eyed girl in a nun standing and next to her is red-haired woman who wears a crimson coat with a white and black shirt inside, black gloves, black shorts.
???: How much longer until we arrive?
???: I'd say at least 2-3 hours.
The petite girl gritted her teeth in frustration.
???: Even though the Herrschers have emerged, those old geezers are still arguing about pointless things, that's why we're late!!!!.
A new male voice chimed in.
???: Calm down Theresa, It can't be helped those old guys are always like that.
???: Is it really okay to say that, Captain?
Captain: It's fine, it's the truth Besides you wouldn't tell those old farts, would you?
He looked at the two women with a smile, but soon a hint of hesitation appeared.
Captain: You won't tell, right?
Theresa: Don't worry Captain, we won't breathe a word Right, Himeko?
Himeko: Don't worry Captain, we won't say a thing, but there's a small price to pay.
Captain: Come on, you know all my money's been spent on other things.
The Captain said with a hopeless voice to Himeko as he grabbed both of her shoulder.
Theresa: Alright, stop fooling around, We still have work to do.
The Captain let go of Himeko's shoulders.
Captain: That's right, the Third Eruption has already begun.
Himeko: Just us alone, it's probably too much That's a Herrscher we're talking about.
Theresa: It can't be helped Those old guys won't let us move If they keep arguing about nonsense, we'll keep being slow.
Captain: Plus, there are very few people who can fight Herrschers in this area, so we have to use what we have.
Theresa: If Fu Hua wasn't out on a mission for grandpa, we'd have a few more people.
All three of them looked weary from the current situation.
Himeko: Alright, sulking won't help We should get ready.
Theresa: Right
Theresa looked out the ship's window.
Theresa: I hope there are some survivors.

In Nagazora, Chiba School,
V The 7-9 cans of food he brought are now down to just 3.
V: (Sighs) Is this a black hole or something?
He stared at the white-haired woman eating with a headache.
V: (Compared to Mei, she is abnormal.)
He watched Mei eat quietly and slowly.
V: (Maybe she feels bad knowing millions have died because of her.)
It can't be helped. Even if you knew what was going to happen, you still couldn't save everyone. Because it was all Coccolia's plan.
And she is also the reason why many people will die in the future.
He turned to look outside.
V: (What should we do next?)
The food won't last long before it's gone.
for now There are two options:
1. Wait for the Hyperion to arrive.
2. Leave the city.
Either way, he had to make sure Mei was safe.
Kiana already has people protecting her, so she doesn't need my help,
unlike Mei that became herrscher of thunder.
As he was thinking, he heard her call him.
Mei: Sorry to bother you, and thank you for sharing the food with us.
She spoke with a tired voice and demeanor.
V: ("Perhaps she feels guilty because she knows she is the cause of this disaster.)
Perhaps the connection between her and the Herrscher let her know something.
In a situation like this, those Shonen protagonists would say sweet words and encourage her, and she would fall in love with them.
But I won't do that.
For her future growth, I need to deal with her emotions here right now.
V: Do you feel guilty that everyone died because of you?
Mei paused for a moment before answering in a soft voice.
Mei: . . . Yes.
V: But do you need to grieve for everyone's death?
Mei: Huh?
She was shocked by his words, which made it seem like people's deaths weren't a big deal to him.
V: No matter how sad you are, it can't bring back what happened.
She was silent at his harsh but truthful words.
V: If you're going to waste time grieving, it's better to find a way to control your power so it doesn't happen again.
She lowered her head,
a feeling weighed down by her actions that caused people to die Make her feel guilty..
Kiana, seeing her like that, was about to run to her,
but V stared at her with cold eyes and released pressure, telling her "Don't interfere," making her freeze in place, unable to do anything.
After looking at Kiana for a while, he turned back to Mei.
V: Everything happened because you were weak and only saw one side of people. When everything collapsed and people died because of you, you regret their deaths?
She was silent, unable to deny it because it was true, but it couldn't be changed because people had already died, she know many people had was her Even if she feels regret, it won't bring them back.
Beneath that grief, she think the only way she could atone was...
Mei: (If I die...)
As if reading her mind, he spoke up.
V: If you think killing yourself will solve everything, then stop.
Mei: But if I die, I can atone for my sins, right?
She said with a slight tremor in her voice.
V: Even if you kill yourself, it's just an escape.
Mei: . . . Then what should I do?
She said with a tired, weak voice.
Nearby, Kiana, watching, felt worried and concerned for Mei
now She wants to go in slap that man and comfort her but couldn't interfere.
Kiana: Mei senpai...
Mei head down, stared at the floor.
V: Forget the dead and Find a way to control your power and live on.
He spoke without showing any emotion She looked up at him, who had an emotionless expression.
Mei: You're so cruel...
She thought he was just calm and composed, but she didn't think he would be this cold.
It's the first time she feels that she doesn't know anything about him at all.
Even now, he still speaks with a cold tone and shows no emotions
V: Even if those people were alive instead of you, they wouldn't care if you lived or died.
It's an unavoidable truth that humans only care about themselves.
Mei: Is it okay for me to keep living?
She said with a trembling voice because she don't want to now.
V: Yes, You can do whatever you want because it's normal this is you life they died because they weak.
that right, she's not entirely wrong.
There were people who caused these things to happen to awaken the Herrscher so they can use that power to Indulge their own greed, but she doesn't need to know now.
Mei, unable to control her emotions, slowly walked over and hugged him, crying in his arms.
V: (This is so troublesome.)
