"Hey, what are you doing, Akazawa? You're sick, um?"
"Don't mind me, Minami! Let's just say I'm still fine! Right now all I want is to meet Sakurako immediately. I don't care about what race she is. I just want to see her now," Takumi said loudly. Ignoring the dizziness and nausea he suffered.
At this time, Itsuki realized that Takumi had been afflicted with an Otherworldly Disease. When someone is in an inappropriate place, his mind will rebel. Sometimes they will also be different figures, and Itsuki has proven that.
After a few hours of walking through the long dark tunnel, they saw a reddish speck of light ahead. The light was so blinding.
"We've arrived, Akazawa," Itsuki muttered.
Takumi, who had been looking down for a long time, now raised his head. He became excited when he heard Itsuki exclaim that they had reached their destination. Where Sakurako had been living all this time.
They both quickened their pace. After arriving at the end of the tunnel, the first sight that was visible was embers everywhere. Building debris scattered. Some charred corpses.
Takumi and Itsuki's eyes widened. They jerked back a few steps. They were silent for a few minutes, before Itsuki signaled a nod at Takumi.
It was Itsuki's gesture telling Takumi to come closer to him. Itsuki tapped his ring finger and put his hand in front of his face. Itsuki seemed to be chanting something.
I don't know what it was, Takumi didn't understand. In this situation, Takumi increasingly realized that his friend was really strange.
After casting the spell, around Takumi and Itsuki they could now see their thin colored smoke. The thin smoke surrounded them.
Itsuki told Takumi to continue following him. Itsuki also warns Takumi not to come out of the red smoke that surrounds them. If Takumi forced his way out, Itsuki couldn't guarantee his comrade's safety anymore.
After hearing Itsuki's warning, Takumi drew closer to Itsuki. He was still walking right behind Itsuki.
Takumi even now holds Itsuki's shoulders, for fear that Itsuki will leave him in the middle of this battlefield. Though in the end, Itsuki would snap at Takumi not to touch Itsuki.
"Just being in the red smoke is enough, you idiot!! There's no need to cling to my shoulders! That's disgusting, Akazawa!!" Itsuki snapped, which instantly made Takumi release his grip on Itsuki's shoulders.
The two of them walked back between the battlefields, heading towards the palace which seemed still quite far from Takumi and Itsuki being currently.
I don't know what red smoke Itsuki used so they were able to avoid the war around them. After walking for an hour, finally Takumi and Itsuki arrived at the Hyuugahito Royal palace.
"Since we've come this far, we must also assist them in the battle against the enemy, Akazawa," Itsuki ordered.
Takumi nodded firmly and said,
"Hi'!"
Even though he said yes, Takumi was still confused about how they would help in this war. In fact, Takumi was not carrying any weapons at this time.
Will Takumi and Itsuki be able to help the war against the enemy?
Then, will Takumi be able to meet Sakurako again?
Actually, how complicated is the relationship between Takumi, Sakurako and Keisuke?
