Origami just stared straight at the [Phantom], and then released several rays of light like rain from the tip of the feather-shaped angel.
[Phantom] dodges those attacks with incredible agility, moving as if gliding through the air.
However, Origami did not give up. She chased after the [Phantom] that was trying to escape, continuously drawing streaks of light into the sky.
Subconsciously, Shidou recalled the scene he saw when he first came to this era not long ago - Origami's parents were penetrated by light, and young Origami wailed and turned into a vengeful ghost...
Shidou gritted his teeth, then stretched out his legs with all his might, chasing after the two of them, running on the ground.
"How can we──make the same mistake again…!"
The pouring light and the pierced bodies of humans.
And the young girl's eyes filled with resentment and revenge.
Origami just wanted to protect her parents and overturn her destiny.
Such pure emotion should not lead to such tragedy.
Origami shouldn't have to bear this kind of fate!!
… …
Time went back to five minutes ago - watching Shidou run out, Katsu couldn't help but scold that guy for being an idiot. Just as he was about to chase him, he fell because he was too weak, and then he heard crying coming from not far away.
"Kotori?" Katsu couldn't help but frowning. He stood up shakily and looked at Kotori who was slumped on the ground, wiping her tears and calling out - "Katsu brother - brother, where are you?"
Katsu only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and even ignored why Kotori would know the question of "Katsu brother" at this time...
Looking at Kotori who couldn't stop crying, Katsu hesitated for a moment, then ran out of the bushes without caring about anything else.
"Kotori!"
Hearing the voice calling her name, Kotori subconsciously looked up, a hint of doubt flashed across her tearful face---this person... looks like Katsu brother... but is much older than Katsu brother---
And then, as Kotori was wondering and wiping away her tears---
Katsu was already close to Kotori, but he tripped over a piece of rubble on the ground and fell directly onto Kotori.
"ah!!!"
----
Feeling the heat and softness under him, Katsu blinked and looked into Kotori's ruby-like, misty and tearful eyes.
Katsu twitched the corner of his mouth, then struggled to get up, but his body went limp and he fell on Kotori again.
Kotori's head was confused at the moment. She wanted to hit this person away, but this person's hair color, eye color, and body fragrance were exactly the same as Katsu's. It can be said that this was simply Katsu's grown-up brother. She wanted to hit him away, but she was afraid that this was Katsu's brother, so she was reluctant...
"You...are you...Katsu brother?" Kotori was lying on the ground, looking at Katsu lying on top of her, and asked with a sob---
Katsu shook his head, then struggled to sit up again and nodded, "Yes."
Kotori understood, and then she also sat up, looking at the grown-up Katsu in front of her, her little mouth pursed, and she couldn't hold back the crying that had just stopped, and she cried loudly and fell into Katsu's arms---
"Brother Katsu---wuwuwuwu..."
The scorching heat in his arms made Katsu grimace, but when he looked at Kotori's tearful face, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and hugged Kotori's small body---
"It's okay...it's okay..."
… …
A few minutes later, lying in Katsu's arms, feeling the familiar sense of security and the scent she loved, Kotori finally calmed down.
Katsu also exhaled slightly--
As a result, before he could take any other action, the explosion from the horizon made Katsu turn his head in shock.
Then, he saw Origami, who was dressed in pure white spiritual clothes.
Katsu's face suddenly darkened. Origami had already come over... I wonder if Shidou had succeeded in driving away the [Phantom]...
So just when Katsu was so confused, Origami released the Angel of Extinction again and launched a series of attacks---
No need to ask Shidou failed, he failed to drive away the [Phantom]...
Taking a deep breath, Katsu shook his head, rubbed Kotori's head, and chuckled: "Okay, Kotori, you stay here first, I'll go take care of some things..."
"Hmm…" Upon hearing this, Kotori's heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously grabbed Katsu's clothes, looking like she was saying "Don't leave".
Katsu's eyes trembled, and then he forced a smile and said, "Kotori, be good. I really have something important to deal with. Can I take you to the amusement park later?"
"… …Hmm… …" Kotori's eyes moved, and she looked up at Katsu's eyes, and she was about to cry: "Really…really?"
"Yeah...really." Katsu nodded.
… …
… …
"Origami! Stop it now!!"
Shidou shouted loudly and exerted force on his feet.
It was impossible for him to accurately chase after Origami and the Phantom from the ground as they engaged in an aerial battle at a very fast speed.
But soon, Shidou realized that he couldn't catch up with the two people in the sky, so his goal immediately changed---
At this moment, his direction was still the same as Origami and [Phantom], but his purpose at this moment was no longer to accurately track the two. He walked forward in the streets covered in flames without hesitation. And soon, he would reach his true destination.
The place where Origami's parents died in the "previous world".
That's right. What Shidou must stop is this time is not Origami fighting the [Phantom], but to stop Origami from accidentally killing her parents.
"...! Found it...!" Shidou ran on the burning red street with his eyes wide open.
In front of Shidou's sight was Origami from five years ago and the backs of her parents not far away from her.
There was no point in talking nonsense any more. Since there was no way to stop Origami from coming into contact with the Phantom, there was no other way to change history except to get Origami's parents to escape to a safe place.
Should we say this is a blessing in disguise? The streets are now engulfed in flames and in a state of emergency. It wouldn't be surprising if a man urged people to evacuate quickly.
There is a high possibility that they will escape according to Shidou's instructions.
However──
"...! What──" Shidou's eyes widened and his body froze. The reason was very simple. Because before he knew it, the figures of the spirit Origami and the [Phantom] were in the sky──right above Origami's parents. It seemed that they had moved to this place during the series of chaotic battles.
Shidou clenched his teeth with a look of pain on his face, and Origami released several rays of light at the same time to block the retreat of the Phantom.
And she merged the feather-shaped angels into one, and pointed its gun port downwards - towards the ground - a blazing light emanated - and a white meteor was shattered...
The scene was exactly the same as "last time". Shidou's face turned pale.
"No, Origami!" Even if he shouted loudly, the sound could not reach Origami's ears.
There was no time to rush Origami's parents to evacuate.
In a moment, a devastating blow will be poured down from the sky, and the two will surely be summoned by the Lord without any time to feel the pain.
"Damn it...!" Shidou exerted force on his legs and stomped hard on the ground.
Since the situation has reached the worst point, Shidou can't think of any other way... but... before he can take a step forward, countless lasers have already shot out.
"Damn it... It's too late!" Shidou closed his eyes. He was a little afraid to watch the next scene...
But, at this moment the feeling of death didn't come
When he opened his eyes, he saw the sky above, a small furry creature blocking the attack, Kuriboh destroying itself creating a buffer time of 2 second of invincible for fusion Kisara and Mana to create a barrier.
"Shidou... hurry up! She can't hold on any longer!"Katsu said from a far.
Shidou's eyes widened, then he gritted his teeth and stomped on the ground, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo──!" Shidou screamed at the top of his lungs and jumped towards Origami's parents──and pushed them away as they were standing there in a daze.
"What...!"
"Ah──" Origami's parents were suddenly knocked away and let out screams of surprise.
Shidou pushed them away with all his strength, and their knees might have been rubbed raw.
──However, don't worry about such a trivial matter.
Shidou smiled contentedly---
"Fuck! You idiot! What are you standing there for? Kisara can't hold on any longer!"
Click---
A crisp shattering sound was heard. Shidou feels the force of someone pushing him away.
Then Shidou opened his mouth wide seeing the golden ray pierced through Katsu.
Then, a feeling of dizziness came over Shidou, and his consciousness fell into darkness.
