In that case, I’ll protect you.
If you get into a jam, I’ll come flying. Anytime.
Haruyuki had made this vow to Niko last night, when she’d suddenly arrived with the intent to stay over.
“I’m counting on you,” she had replied with a smile. And then:
It’s fine. As long as you stay close, that’s enough. So don’t go changing on me, ’kay? Even after you go up levels and get to be a high ranker, you just stay the way you are. And…like, if someday I…
Had the Red King felt it then? Had she sensed the malicious presence that would attack her in the near future? Was her “if someday I” supposed to be followed by “disappear from the Accelerated World”?
Haruyuki couldn’t let her premonition become reality. He had made a promise: No matter what happened, he would protect his cherished friend. He would protect Niko.
Which was why he had to fly now. Beyond his limits—at the speed of light.
“F…lyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!” Haruyuki cried.
As if in response to his will, the new wings stretching out from his back grew bright with silver light, brilliantly illuminating the sky of the Twilight stage.
