In a dimly lit room
Silence enveloped the closed room.
The sun, which had been turning the sky red, had somehow completely hidden itself from view, and the darkness of night was about to descend on the room.
The emergency electric light by the door gradually illuminated the dimly lit room.
Nao's lips were tightly sealed as her movement made shadows in the electric light, and she sat down on a pipe chair, which had fallen over when she stood up.
"…………It's just terrible."
Quietly, Nao said.
"After a series of maddening time leaps, you finally defeated that monster…… And yet you are forced to fight those damn monsters again. And you've just woken up, your body hasn't completely healed yet! ……Surely, as Karube-san said, you fighting is the best thing to do in the current situation. ――But! Even if a little…… you should be allowed to get some rest, right?"
Nao knew that Akira would undergo a time leap if he died.
This was because the first thing Akira did when he woke up was to tell Nao everything that had happened so far.
Knowing this, Nao seemed to feel unreasonable anger at Karube's words to Akira for not even giving him the slightest break.
"But it's true that if I don't do it, nobody can beat the boss monsters right now."
"That's! ――――True, but."
Nao exclaimed and bit her lip.
"Still, to be forcing all of that into a single person…… it's just too cruel."
Akira gave a small laugh at Nao's reaction and looked up at the ceiling as he sank his body down on the bed.
Then, in a slow, measured tone, Akira turned to Nao and spoke.
"――Do not give up before you try. That's what someone told me. And that person is the reason I'm here now. If I had given up then, I wouldn't be here. ……So, now that I'm here, if there's anything I can do to help, I'm going to try."
"Ichijou…………"
Nao looked at Akira's face and murmured.
Moving his gaze to Nao, Akira smiled reassuringly.
"It's all right. I'm fine now. Because when I'm having a hard time, I'm sure you will listen to me, Nao-san, won't you? "
"Yes, of course."
Without a second thought, Nao nodded her head.
"Then, it's all right. As long as I'm not alone, I'll be fine."
Nao kept her mouth shut and looked at Akira as these words were quietly spoken out.
Her eyes wavered a little, and then they grew strong as if she strengthened her resolve.
"Ichijou."
Nao called Akira's name in a small voice.
"If you're going to take down bosses, I'm going with you."
"Nao-san, that's――――"
"I know!! I know that myself. That even if I followed you now, I would only be a liability to you. But even so…… I want to fight with you, Ichijou. If you fight to the death, I'll fight to the death too. For you to be the only one to take on the boss alone, that's…… absolutely and utterly wrong!! "
"……Nao-san."
"Please. Take me with you."
It was when Nao looked at Akira's face with a serious expression on her face as she said this.
――Ding.
Suddenly, a light sound reminiscent of the tinkling of a bell rang out, and a single screen appeared before Akira.
