Chapter 54 - Chapter 11 (part 3)

"Tub Tub."

"Click."

Hiroto keeps on doing his best to stabilize the Quantum Memory. But as he did so, suddenly he found another hidden program inside of the Quantum World program.

Hiroto began to inspect it and open the coding inside the program to make sure what it is for. He doesn't know what will happen. But as he opened the program, suddenly he saw a lot of code that was running as 'Recreation' and 'Reprogramming' 

Hiroto tried to stop the program. But something stopped him from doing so. It seems like the administrator's system blocked him from doing so. It was weird as they're the ones who have the administrator role there. So Hiroto was expecting a bug to happen there that he tried to fix with all of his team. Until suddenly he heard Hana seemed to be damaged by something.

"Argh!"

When they heard Hana sound. It just makes them wonder if Hana just got affected by the brain damage from Quantum Memory. So Hana then told Hiroto and the others to stop it. Because maybe there's something that they need to see from Aikari. Maybe there's a reason why he did all of this. 

Hiroto would believe it if those things were really from Aikari himself. But he just couldn't forgive himself if that happened because of his system's fault. 

Hana then just smiled and told all of them to continue maintaining the Quantum World and she said she would try to find out what is happening there. Hiroto agreed with it and he then continued to stabilize the Quantum World as he looked at the newly installed program to keep it running.

"80.5%"

"88.9%"

"97.8"

"100.00000000"

Hiroto could see from there that it seemed like the system was bugging, but they still couldn't confirm it. They then just keep on running the Quantum World as they believe in all three Aikari, Hirumi, and Hana.

(2 days after.) 

Back to the current situation in the Quantum World.

Hana is eating the food together with everyone. She seems to be enjoying the food. But she was actually wondering in her mind if Aikari remembered what happened to him at that time.

"Crunch."

Suddenly she saw a vision of something.

Just in a second, she then saw a black hole up in the sky and everything seemed to be pulled inside of it and disappeared. Hana was so shocked by it. She then just sat still for a while until Hirumi called her.

"Hana? Hana?"

Hana then shook her head and smiled at Hirumi. Hirumi then asked Hana if she heard what Arithia said just now. But Hana then apologized about it and said that she was actually too focused on the food that she didn't hear them. So Arithia then just smiled and told Hana about what she was saying again.

"Actually, there was actually a place that Hikari and I wanted to bring you three in. But we're afraid that you three might not be able to survive the overflowing power within that place. So maybe Hikari will do something about it. Are you three up for it?"

Aikari and Hirumi have agreed to go there. So then it just left Hana there. As from what she heard, it seems like it was something fun. So Hana then just agreed on it and Hikari then tell them that it was actually has been a long ever since the last time since he used to just live there. Ai might love to see them, so Hikari then tells them that after they are done eating, he will try to see whether he can do anything about it or not. 

They all appreciated it and they continued to eat.

After they're all done, Hikari goes to that place while all of them are still at the castle.

Aikari was looking at the scenery of the city from the castle, and then he began to wonder.

"If this world is going to end. Then what kind of end will it be? Are they going to be destroyed by someone? Or is it going to be destroyed by itself?"

When Aikari is talking about that, Hana then goes next to him and asks him "What are you wondering by yourself here?" Aikari then got a by startled by Hana and he tried to keep cool and tell Hana that there was nothing he was wondering about there.

But Hana didn't believe him and she then says to Aikari, "Hehe, well Hirumi is talking with Arithia and Himari. Now we have a time alone, don't we?" Aikari then just stared at Hana as he heard that. He just couldn't believe that Hana would say something like that. But he didn't want to ignore Hana there. So he then just told Hana to talk about something else.

Hana then just sighed and told Aikari that she actually didn't know what was going to happen there. But she just tried to calm herself down. Aikari agreed with Hana and told her that he also wondered about what was going to happen. Plus for some reason, something unclear is bothering his mind that he couldn't find it out why. But he then just chuckled and told Hana that maybe he should just forget about it. 

Hana then looked at where Aikari was looking at, and she then told Aikari "Actually, if it was a valuable memory. Don't you think it was something worth remembering?" Those words then just made Aikari to get stunned by Hana and he then turned to her. 

Hana could feel that Aikari was looking at him and she could feel that maybe Aikari wanted to hear more about that from her. So she then just smiled and asked Aikari.

"Even I. I have something that I shouldn't forget and I bet that you have that too, right? Aikari. Something like your moment with your family, your friends, and someone important to you. You are the only one who could protect it. Those memories. Sometimes you might forget it, but if you try hard enough, you will be able to remember it all, right?"

When Aikari heard about that, he then agreed with Hana. He told Hana that he had a lot of importance for him. Either it was something small or big, he appreciated it all. Because he knows that all those times are something that he will never ever get it back. It's not like he was stuck with the past. But he just appreciated it all that he couldn't forget it.

He got some group of people that he called his family, but they're all not here anymore. But his life is the last gift that they give to him that he will always do his best to keep on living and protect it. He got a bunch of friends that he will never forget about all of them, even if they forget about him. He got someone important to him that made him who he is now. The only person who has made him strong until now. Even she no longer exists in the world. He knows that one day everyone will no longer be with him. But even so, until the very end. He wanted to walk on with those memories that they all make with him to his end.

Aikari smiled and told Hana that it may sounds like it was childish and told Hana that maybe she would laugh at him about that. But Hana told Aikari that she understood that. She told Aikari that she also was hoping for the same.

She has a lot of friends and she hopes that they will all stay with her until the end of everything. But she wasn't sure what would happen next. But now she is here. She hopes that all of them will be together till the end.

When Aikari heard about all of them, he then told Hana that he remembered that before he woke up, he did remember that he, Hikari, Hirumi, and Hana were on the journey to go somewhere. But he didn't remember where did all of them went. Then he just woke up on the bed and Hirumi was there.

There seems to be something unclear about it, and he then asked Hana if they all had met each other in the past before. Because he couldn't remember anything more than that. That then caused Hana to be shocked by that. But she couldn't say anything as she also didn't know about Aikari before they met. So she then told Aikari that she wanted to be with Aikari until the end of everything.

Aikari agreed with it and he told Hana that he hope that he hope that at the end of this, everything would turn normal without any wonder.

As they're talking about that, suddenly they saw Hiro walking towards both of them. Hiro then scratched his head and asked Aikari.

"Hey, Mr. Aikari. If you don't mind. Would you like to undergo the training with me? I heard that you and papa are going off somewhere after this. So it might be a waste if I don't have a mock battle with you, right?"

Aikari then nods and tells Hiro that he doesn't mind so. Plus, it seems that Hikari is taking a bit longer to prepare so. So he then headed to the training field behind the castle and was going to have a mock battle.

Aikari was walking with Nefier on his side and as he was walking he could hear Andrius's voice.

"Aikari, can you hear me?"

When Aikari heard that, he was then just stunned by it. He then looked at his sword and asked "Is that you, Andrius?" Andrius then just stayed silent, and he then told Aikari to continue walking. But deep down inside Andrius's mind is. He actually is wondering if anyone ever realizes what is happening there. He wanted to ask someone about that, but the only person who could hear its voice is Aikari. So it then just makes him wonder who else it can be.

After a little walk, Aikari and Hiro then arrived at the field and Hiro took out his heavy sword and Aikari drew Nefier and they then began their mock battle.

Hiro dashed towards Aikari and Aikari then evaded it by moving to the side and he used Nefier's side to lock Hiro's right arm. Causing Hiro to be unable to swing his sword. But Hiro then kicks Aikari away, and it caused him to get free from Nefier.

Before losing a grip on his sword, Hiro grabs it back and then quickly swings it towards Aikari. But Aikari didn't lose his balance yet. So he then quickly blocks that attack with his sword. But since it was too quick, Aikari almost let go of his sword. But his body reacted quickly to hold the sword as soon as he could feel a force on it from Hiro's attack.

Aikari then parried the attack and jumped back. He regained his position and took some breath, then asked Hiro.

"It is a mock battle, right? What is the lose condition?"

When Hiro heard that, he then began to wonder about it. But as Hiro gets an idea, he then holds his sword tight and says.

"The first person who dropped their weapon will lose."

Hiro quickly dashed towards Aikari as he said that, and Aikari then said, "You cheater!" Aikari dodged the attack and he then attacked Hiro while aiming for his sword. In this situation, Aikari knows that both of them have a high chance to both lose and win.

Hiro fought with his heavy sword. If Aikari keeps on blocking the attack from his sword, then Aikari might lose his balance and might drop his weapon from the high impact of that big-sized sword.

But, Hiro will be moving a bit slower than Aikari. Making Aikari was able to dodge and try to attack from different directions. But the way to make Hiro drop his weapon might be hard. The way he could do it is by hitting Hiro on his body using his punch.

If Aikari was able to hit the body part that is used to give strength to Hiro to hold that sword, then Hiro might drop his weapon and that way Aikari could win.

Aikari then kept on fighting while thinking of a way to make that happen.
