Volume 3 Chapter 94 – Names

Aika is now laying on her back watching the world decay. She already opened a hundred or so boxes but found nothing.

“What the hell is this? Isn’t there some sort of clue?” Aika muttered blankly staring at the black hole.

” “Are going to give up?” ” Aika suddenly heard two contrasting voices of the little girls who disappeared earlier.

Aika looked up and saw them standing five meters away from each other, “I guess I shouldn’t. I don’t want to become like ‘that’.” Aika stood up and proceed to open boxes again and again.

” “Are you just going to ignore Father’s advice?” ” The two spoke behind her.

“Father?” Aika tilted her head in confusion. The only figure that comes to her mind that these two are calling father is the bastard who threw her in this situation, “Wh-” She wanted to ask the little girls who are they referring as father, but she suddenly remembered Kisuke words as he stabs her in the chest, ‘Get the red string?’

Aika looked around and found no red string, ‘All of these are boxes! How useless!’ She then recalled Yoruichi’s lesson and training regarding detection, ‘If it’s my power, I should be able to detect it right? Yosh, let’s do it.’

But as she scans the boxes according to Yoruichi’s method, all of them felt the same to her and nothing seems to be different in all those boxes. She’s getting frustrated as the world is now about to disappear when suddenly she noticed a bunch of white strings coming from the boxes.

Aika was enlightened. She focused her detection skills on those strings and they became more apparent. As she is doing this, a red string is sticking out like a sore thumb, and she understood what Kisuke meant.

Aika pulled it along with the box it is attached and opened it. She saw a hilt of a Japanese sword and questioned if the whole sword is here or just the hilt because of the box’s size.

Aika put her hands on the handle and pulled it but it’s stuck so she has to use all her might to pull it.

” “Hurry! Hurry! The world is about to collapse!” ”

“Ugh… I… KNOW!!!” Aika used all her strength to pull it one last time and she succeeded, pulling out a two-meter long nodachi.

The moment she pulled it out her attire suddenly changed into a Shihakusho and the world instantly returned to its former appearance.

“Wait… I’m not going to attend some funeral now, do I? When can I get out?” She commented as she inspected her new attire.

” “Congratulations, Mother. Allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Aeternam Somnium (Everlasting Dream).” ” The two of them spoke the same time again, but when they heard each other’s name again, they started another war by throwing red and black balls of energy against each other, creating large amounts of explosions.

“STOP!!!” Aika shouted at the two ballistic little girls and they stopped, “Why are you fighting? Aren’t you two siblings?”

” “She took my name!” ” They pointed at each other as they explain their reason.

“Although I somehow understand what that name means, but why are you fighting over such a lame name?”

“Who gave you that name?”

They looked at each other and then looked back to Aika shrugging their shoulders, ” “I don’t know.” ”

Aika stayed silent for a moment before making her decision, “Come here, you two.”

Both of them approached her with a confused look and waited for her to speak.

“I somehow knew that that name is very important, but I really think that it sounds lame. Since you two have the same name, don’t fight over it.” Aika patted both of their heads, but they look unsatisfied. They don’t want to agree to her.

“But it’s going to be annoying differentiating you two with the same name, so I’m giving you two a new one.” Aika continued.

” “A new one? You want to discard my name?” ” The two of them didn’t feel well and was about to send Aika back outside and never let her use their name again.

“Of course not. I know how important that name to you two if you’re both fighting for it. Since the two of you consider me as your mother, I’ll give you additional names so the two of you will have a different set.” Aika explained.

Aika faced the red-haired little girl and said, “You will be Akane (Brilliant Red).”

Akane and Kaguya looked at each other and smiled. They turned to Aika and exclaimed, ” “We like it.” ” For the first time, the two acknowledged each other.

“Great.” Aika is happy that they stopped fighting as she has a feeling that she has to resolve it. After they accepted their new names, Aika felt light as a strange power started to course inside her body.

” “Mother! Show Father our true selves!” ”

Aika then loses consciousness as she returns to the outside world. She still wanted to know who are they referring to as ‘Father’ and why, but she subconsciously knew it and just let herself be taken by the flow towards outside.

“What is that spell? It looks lackluster but somehow, I feel that I won’t be able to make any move if that cloth binds me, not to mention those bolts.” Sona furrowed her brows as she inspected Kisuke’s ‘magic’

“It’s not from any popular system… It’s not even using a magic circle… How does that work?” Akeno muttered which was heard by all of them.

Sakura was also thinking of the same thing, more or less. She didn’t expect that her son is hiding something this big and didn’t know what to think of it. ‘We should have a proper talk later. But I doubt that he’ll tell me everything just like the first time. I have to remind him that he shouldn’t go too far in towards the dark side, or else, he’ll regret it. I should at least that much as his mother even though I knew that I’m not doing a very good job in it.’

“Are you going to do the ‘Final Song’? You might end up killing her.” Yoruichi suddenly spoke after seeing Kisuke still not taking back his Reiatsu-Ki.

“I’m not, but just in case… Hmm?” Kisuke then suddenly smiled at Aika’s change in the aura, “Looks like she succeeded…” After inspecting closely, his smile suddenly froze, “And she did it all the way… Damn… That’s cheating… She’s way worse than that strawberry.”
