"Roar—"
Compared to Yukina, who seemed somewhat hesitant, Mama Bear understood the situation better and was far more decisive.
She knew that no matter what, this Singularity had to be resolved—regardless of who had created it.
Even if it was Sakumura.
The bear's massive paw slammed down at Kanna. Instinctively, Kanna raised her long red blade before herself, and by sheer chance, she blocked Mama Bear's attack.
With a forceful shove forward, she drove Mama Bear back several steps with terrifying strength, then swept her sword sideways—
Clang—
"Wake up!"
Boom!!!
Oda Nobunaga stood atop a high point, looking down at Sakumura Kanna as she shouted.
"He can feel your pain too!"
"The reason he created this Singularity was to see happiness, but what you're doing now—"
"Can it really let him see happiness?"
Kanna's movements faltered for a moment.
Whoosh—
Boom!!!!!
White hair twisted into a gigantic axe and slashed back along the path of Kanna's blade. Caught off guard, Kanna was sent flying by Yukina.
"Urgh—"
"Mom, hold her down!"
Yukina's hair spread out, transforming into silky threads that wrapped around Kanna's body.
Mr. Sakumura
Kanna stared at the dark clouds overhead, her mouth slightly open.
Tears slid from the corners of her eyes, reflecting the firelight as they fell through the air.
I'm sorry.
Even though I didn't want you to see me crying again.
Mama Bear caught Kanna in midair.
At the same time, something seemed to shatter within the space around them.
As if a mirror had broken.
"Be careful!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka ran alertly to Oda Nobunaga's side and looked toward the sky.
The shattering had begun from the cloud-covered sky.
Those dark clouds were not what the sky truly looked like.
The truest sky of this Singularity—its deepest prison—remained dark even without the clouds.
