Chapter 423 ( New Information - II )
Now that Cloud would be upgrading his world to level 2, his recruits could return home after completing a new dimension for a limited time. This was a good thing for the girls because they could take a little break and go back to see their loved ones they left behind.
With this, they would have much more time to train and rest, although it was a pity that this did not apply to Celestine and Olga.
Cloud quickly explained about the new news to the girls, only to notice how Tatenashi was extremely happy, to the point that without a second thought he took the blond by the hand and took him to his room to 'thank him'.
Sakuya could only shake her head when she saw this, though after hearing the blue-haired woman's story, she could understand why she was so happy.
"Well, I guess I'd better go train" - Houki said while coughing to change the topic of conversation - "Come, Alisa."
"Oh, ok" - nodded Alisa as she blushed while listening to her teacher's moans.
"I think I'm coming with you too" - Sakuya said as she averted her gaze - "I don't think I can rest if I keep hearing those moans".
"Ok, then let's go" - nodded Houki as the trio retreated with red faces.
* * * * *
Time flew by, and the day to leave this world had arrived.
Cloud sat in the living room of his dwelling as he gazed out the window at the sturdy walls of [Far East].
The [fortress] project had been completed and the walls were not only hard and sturdy, but also the weapons on them were perfect for resisting waves of [Aragami].
Soma was the undisputed leader of [Far East] and the soldiers were showing their full potential.
The elite forces went on hunting trips from time to time in order to create more ammunition and weapons.
Tsubaki no longer showed herself to the group, which made Sakuya sigh because it was obvious that her friend, and former rival, had made her decision.
"I guess this is the end," Cloud said as he shook his head.
[Time remaining, 10 minutes]
"It was a tough few years, but it served to grow us as warriors and women" - replied Houki as she looked at her well-defined body.
"You can repeat that as many times as you want" - said Tatenashi while shaking her head - "I'm even starting to feel a strange sense of nostalgia at the thought that we will soon depart from this world."
Sakuya and Alisa only kept silent as they felt a strange discomfort at the thought of not being able to return to this dimension, although they quickly shook their heads to push these thoughts away.
[Time remaining, 60 seconds]
"I guess this is goodbye, world" - Sakuya said as she sighed - "Ugh, now that I hear what I said, it sounds like I'm going to kill myself."
"Now that you mention it, you're right" - said Alisa as she let out a small laugh, only to sigh heavily - "The last thing I do in this dimension, is laugh, which is strange considering this world is full of [Aragami]"
[Time remaining, 5 seconds]
Alisa and Sakuya's eyes widened in surprise as they saw a strange blue portal.
[Mandatory Mission Completed, preparing to return to the home world]
[Mission Results and Rewards will be delivered after a few moments]
Alisa and Sakuya began to grab their heads as a huge amount of information entered their brains.
Cloud and the others watched this silently because they knew this was a normal occurrence.
"Ok, now I understand a lot of things" - said Sakuya as she looked at her new companions - "And I have to admit that it's an adventure that I'm willing to go all the way."
"I think the same" - replied Alisa while shaking her head - "Although I have to admit that it's interesting to see species that only appear in our oldest legends."
"You can continue talking about that when we go to our world" - Cloud said as he looked at the two women - "But now we have to leave because this world is starting to get hard to resist"
"Oh, ok" - nodded Sakuya and Alisa as they entered the portal with expressions showing multiple emotions.
Houki and Tatenashi quickly followed them, leaving Cloud alone, who slowly looked towards the entrance of the dwelling - "You can show yourself."
The door slowly opened, revealing a silhouette that Cloud immediately recognised.
"Hello, Cloud" - Tsubaki said as a sad smile appeared on her face - ". . ."
"Why?" - Cloud asked as he looked at the black-haired woman - "Why did you come?"
"I" - Tsubaki didn't know how to answer this question, after all, something inside her told her that if she didn't come, she would regret it for eternity.
"Never mind" - Cloud said as he shook his head - "It's good to be able to see you one last time."
"!" - Tsubaki opened her eyes as she tried to say something, only to feel the words get stuck in her throat.
"You know, I was hoping that we could talk things out and maybe solve our problems," Cloud said as he looked at the woman with a sad smile on his face.
"Why?" - Tsubaki asked with tears in her eyes - "Why didn't you?"
"Why didn't you?" - asked Cloud as he looked at the woman - "I tried, I tried to talk to you for the first week after I came back to [Far East], but you didn't seem to want to see me."
Tsubaki tried to refute Cloud's words, but she couldn't, not when they were true.
"Well, at least we can say goodbye" - Cloud smiled as he looked at the woman - "It was nice to meet you, Amamiya Tsubaki-san."
"Wait!" - Tsubaki exclaimed as she saw how the blonde was entering the portal - "Please wait!"
"See you, Tsubaki, I hope your life will be fantastic in this world" - said Cloud as he entered without looking back.
"Wait, please don't go, let me talk to you!" - Tsubaki exclaimed with tears in her eyes, only to see the blond disappear into the strange blue portal.
Tsubaki quickly ran after Cloud and tried to touch the portal, only to groan in pain - "No! I'm not going to let it end like this!"
Tsubaki again tried to enter the portal, only to feel her skin begin to tear.
"NO!" - Tsubaki exclaimed as she bit her lip - "I don't want to stay behind! I don't want to feel the loneliness again! Please don't leave me behind!"
Tsubaki was devastated as she lamented for being so stupid and not trying to solve her problems. She could only cry sadly as she screamed everything inside her.
Sofia had died at the hands of her boyfriend, Lindow was killed after she lost control, and her last friends had disappeared from the world. She had nothing left to bind her to this world, but because of her stupidity, she didn't see how things were changing.
"I want to go with you, I want to stay with you!" - Tsubaki exclaimed as she continued to cry - "I don't want to stay alone!"
Tsubaki again threw herself at the portal, only to notice how it seemed to not be rejecting her as strongly as before.
"There is still hope!" - Tsubaki exclaimed excitedly as she felt her body was burning from trying to enter the portal so forcibly - "I want to be your recruit!"
Tsubaki continued her attempt to enter the portal, but the constant pain made this an almost impossible mission. She gritted her teeth as she resisted the pain because she knew this was her last chance.
The portal was getting smaller and smaller and she knew that time was against her, so without a second thought, she used all her remaining strength in one last attempt.
"I will not be left behind!" - Tsubaki roared as she forced her way into the portal, not caring about the possible consequences this meant.
The silhouette of the woman quickly disappeared into the portal as it slowly closed, what the woman didn't know, was that she wouldn't end up in the same fate as Cloud and the others.
* * * * *
Cloud slowly opened his eyes and noticed how he had returned to the mansion in the middle of the private island, though he wasn't that happy because he honestly didn't like that the last meeting between him and Tsubaki, was this sad. He would have preferred that nothing had happened during the last seconds of his stay in the world of [God Eater], but fate was a cruel thing sometimes.
"Are you alright?" - Sakuya asked as she noticed her beloved blond's expression.
"Yeah, I'll explain everything later," Cloud replied as he shook his head, but his expression changed when he saw something that made him freeze.
[Warning! Warning! An anomaly has been created!]
[Warning! An anomaly has been detected around the user, please exercise absolute caution when making contact with said anomaly in the future because the results are unknown!]
"Anomaly?" - Cloud asked as he looked around in confusion because he didn't understand what was going on.
[Initiating analysis on Anomaly and its level of danger]
[Analysing]
[Analysing]
[Analysis done, delivering information]
[Type of Anomaly: Pseudo-Recluta (Intruder)]
[Pseudo-Recluta(Intruder): Character not properly recruited who gained the ability to be able to transport to a random dimension. It is impossible to use the shop or receive support from the user and other recruits, but this is compensated by an increase in level and skill growth].
"Pseudo-recruit" - muttered Cloud as he widened his eyes in realisation, after all, there was only one person who could fit that description - "Tsubaki-san!"
