Saigo No Yami (English Version)

- "Finally, Mitsuki faces an unexpected challenge that tests his limits. In an epic battle against Gisi, he discovers a hidden power and faces the truth about his destiny. But just when he thought it was all over, a shocking revelation about his sister leaves him speechless. Don't miss the unexpected twist in this action-packed chapter full of surprises!" -

Mitsuki maintained his usual confident smile as he watched Gisi, who looked at him with a mix of surprise and amusement. Despite his comments, which were intended to make him tense, Mitsuki was not fazed at all. He even allowed himself a light laugh, which only increased Gisi's discomfort.

"So you want to fight me?" Mitsuki asked, letting out a carefree laugh.

Gisi watched him silently, her eyes half-closed. This reaction was completely unexpected, but somehow, she liked it. It seemed that Mitsuki didn't take any of this seriously, and that, instead of making her uncomfortable, seemed to challenge her even more.

"Didn't you hear?" Gisi replied, smiling mischievously. "Don't get your hopes up, I'm not as easy as I look."

Mitsuki shifted slightly, putting his hands in his pockets with a lopsided smile.

"I hope Allivy doesn't mind me hitting her daughter," he said in a relaxed tone. "Though, if she brought you and not herself, there must be a reason for it, right?"

Gisi let out a small laugh. Of course she understood Mitsuki's game, but that wouldn't make her look away from the fight.

"My mother can't fight," Gisi replied, without losing her smile.

Mitsuki frowned slightly, not fully understanding the answer.

"How?" he said, letting out a nervous laugh. "From the moment I saw her, I knew she wasn't weak. Allivy has a lot of weird tricks, so why wouldn't she have some to fight me with?"

Gisi looked at him with an almost disconcerting calm, her tone changing to a slightly more serious one.

"It's not that," she replied, her gaze fixed on him. "She has other limits, other kinds of restrictions… In her position as a Celestial, there are things she simply can't do for some time now. But all those doubts, we'll leave for later."

Mitsuki fell silent, trying to absorb Gisi's words, but her mind kept going back to what he had said. She couldn't fully understand, but what she did know was that she had to stay calm. What was to come was not going to be easy.

Finally, he broke the silence with a more defiant tone.

—This will be my first fight against a goddess... Don't disappoint me, Gisi —he said, his voice more serious, although the smile was still on his face.

Gisi's expression changed slightly, a flash of anger flashing across her eyes for a second. However, she remained calm, letting her mischievous smile take over.

"Don't underestimate me," he replied, his tone laden with defiance. "I won't forget it later."

The air grew tense, and the atmosphere of that blue place began to grow dense as the two prepared for what would undoubtedly be an unforgettable confrontation.

With a slight movement, Mitsuki lunged forward, his feet barely touching the ground before disappearing from Gisi's sight. The speed at which he moved was such that the light from his figure left a trail of purple flashes in the air, barely perceptible to the celestial's eyes. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind her, firing a kick filled with concentrated energy.

Gisi, however, did not react with surprise. With a quick movement, she spun around and, using one of her floating crystal-like spheres of light, accurately deflected the blow. Mitsuki's kick was deflected, but the shockwave caused the air around her to distort, creating a small burst of energy that cut the distance where it passed.

Mitsuki, noticing the missed strike, didn't stop. With a smile, he began to glide through the air with astonishing agility, his body moving as if it were part of the energy itself. The battle was heating up and Mitsuki wasn't going to let Gisi get the upper hand.

"Come on, Gisi, show me more!" he shouted as he disappeared again in a flash of purple light, moving again with the same speed. He appeared in front of her this time, this time with a series of quick punches aimed at the celestial's defenses.

Gisi, aware that his opponent did not hesitate to attack with speed and precision, raised both hands towards the sky. The energy around him began to concentrate, his spheres of light forming a protective barrier that blocked each of Mitsuki's blows. However, the speed and force of the attacks were such that the spheres began to crack, emitting flashes of light as if they were small stars about to explode.

Mitsuki took advantage of that gap to momentarily step away. His breathing was light, but he knew that the goddess in front of him would not give up so easily. With a slight flick of his wrist, he concentrated more energy within his body, creating a new distortion in the air.

"You're not going to attack me?" Mitsuki said mockingly as he stepped forward again, this time launching a direct blow towards Gisi's barrier.

At that moment, Gisi, with impressive speed, released a blinding blast of light, creating an expansive energy wave that attempted to push him back. Mitsuki, however, did not let himself be caught so easily. He used his Cluster Repel to generate a compact energy sphere around him, absorbing Gisi's energy blast, while projecting it into the air.

The impact caused the entire field to vibrate, but it wasn't long before Mitsuki appeared on the battlefield again. Gisi's expression had changed, his face hardened by the tension of the fight, but Mitsuki sensed that his opponent still had more surprises in store.

"You're definitely not bad," Mitsuki admitted, as he prepared for his next move. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to win."

Gisi didn't answer right away, her gaze fixed on him. The environment around them began to change, the floating spheres of light began to spin faster, forming a whirlwind around them. The energy was increasing, and Mitsuki could feel the pressure beginning to take over the environment.

Suddenly, Gisi raised his hands, releasing a massive amount of energy that formed a gigantic sphere of heavenly light, larger than all the spheres before it. The air became thick, vibrant, and a feeling of impending danger enveloped Mitsuki.

"Is this all you have, balls?" Mitsuki said, confident, but with a slight spark of concentration in his gaze.

With a defiant grin, Gisi threw the sphere towards him, and Mitsuki, without a second thought, activated his Soul Mirrors ability. In a purple flash, his body distorted, and in the blink of an eye, Mitsuki duplicated himself, creating an illusion of himself that began to surround the sphere of energy.

Gisi's sphere approached rapidly, illuminating everything in its path, but Mitsuki's mirrors posed as a series of attacks. With each reflection, the sphere seemed to split, but it did not hit the real Mitsuki. Finally, as the reflections scattered the energy, Mitsuki appeared behind Gisi, his body charged with energy and a determined smile on his face.

—I think now, Gisi, I can say that maybe I'm going to give it my all. —He muttered, as he prepared for his next move.

The tension in the air increased, and both warriors knew they were about to show more of their strength. But neither of them seemed willing to give up.

Allivy stood in what seemed to be her palace, located in Ectiviland, the air was charged with an unnerving calm, emanating a calm but dense energy. Alaska, standing in front of Allivy, watched the celestial goddess with a curious gaze, wondering what she thought about the ongoing fight.

Alaska, in her usual tone, broke the silence.

—Teacher Allivy... how are you doing?

Allivy, without taking her eyes off the viewpoint towards the city of Ectiviland, responded with a calm smile, as if everything was under control.

—They're going... too well.

Alaska looked at her, searching her face for any clues, but Allivy remained calm. The celestial goddess seemed to enjoy the moment, the situation, as if she knew something she didn't. Alaska couldn't help but wonder if everything was really okay, or if Allivy had some other hidden purpose in mind. It wasn't until her gaze fell back on Allivy's serene figure, enjoying her drink, that she realized she wouldn't be getting any more details.

"I want to see how this turns out," Allivy said in a relaxed tone. "They're both strong, and Mitsuki has a lot of potential, although I don't think he fully realizes it yet. It's an interesting matchup."

Alaska frowned, not knowing what to expect from this fight. Despite Allivy's words, there was something about her attitude that made him uneasy. Allivy didn't seem to be in a hurry or nervous. On the contrary, she seemed to enjoy the fight as if it were part of a game.

Meanwhile, on the field inside Prismargia, where the fight continued to unfold, Mitsuki kept watching Gisi intently. The vibrating energy within them only increased, and despite the tension, Mitsuki maintained an eerie calm. His confident smile showed that he was not afraid of what was coming, but his mind was focused. He knew that this fight was more complex than it seemed.

For an instant, Mitsuki allowed himself to think about his abilities. That strange feeling of power building up inside his eyes, the purple glint in his pupils. The energy in his Purple Eyes flashed fleetingly, but he immediately stopped. He felt the power inside him, knowing what he could do with it, but at that moment, the decision wasn't that simple. He didn't want to use that ability, he didn't want to destroy Gisi. He didn't want to kill her because it wasn't a fight made to come to that.

—"I won't. I shouldn't," he thought, as his energy began to stabilize.

The purple glow in his eyes disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. Mitsuki had decided that he wasn't going to use his full power in this fight. He could feel it, it was in his hands, but his sense of control and restraint prevailed. He glared at Gisi, maintaining his stance. It wasn't time to end the fight, not yet.

Meanwhile, Gisi kept an eye on Mitsuki. The tension between them continued to grow. Mitsuki had paused momentarily, giving Gisi the perfect opportunity to attack, but the surprise was in the boy's calm. He knew that Mitsuki wasn't acting on impulse, but was saving something for a more opportune moment.

However, Gisi was not intimidated. She, as a Celestial, had her own resources. Her energy was beginning to stir as she prepared for the next offensive.

The battle continued.

With a slight movement, Mitsuki lunged forward, taking advantage of a moment of distraction from Gisi. The ground beneath him resonated with the force of his speed, and despite the calm he tried to display, the air around him began to distort from the intensity of his energy. With his right hand extended forward, it seemed as if he was going to land a direct blow, but Gisi did not move, confident that he would avoid it with ease.

Suddenly, Mitsuki did a quick flip in the air, disintegrating any trace of his presence to the right, and appeared right behind Gisi. Mitsuki's purple eyes flashed for an instant, but he stopped short of using his Purple Eyes. Instead, he launched a precise strike, aimed at Gisi's side, but she disintegrated in a burst of light before it reached him.

Gisi materialized a couple of meters away, her eyes shining with defiance, and her smile not fading one bit.

"That was close," he commented, and immediately began forming spheres of energy that revolved around him.

Mitsuki wasted no time. He sped towards her once more, but this time, Gisi anticipated his move and fired a series of light energy arrows. Mitsuki nimbly dodged them, making quick turns and jumping back and forth, as the arrows crackled around her.

Mitsuki's speed was impressive, but Gisi seemed to be enjoying the battle, her ability to manipulate energy making her unpredictable. Every time Mitsuki tried to get ahead, Gisi would dematerialize and reappear in another location.

Mitsuki breathed calmly, but something inside her told her to change her focus. Suddenly, she stared at Gisi intently, as if she could see beyond the battle itself. She remembered that she didn't want to defeat her with all her power, but the fight was getting more complicated.

"Do you really think you can win just by showing off?" Gisi asked, noticing the change in Mitsuki's attitude. She lunged at him again, forming a massive energy sphere in her hands.

Mitsuki thought for a moment, and the energy in his eyes began to take on a more concentrated form. He sensed that if he used the Disintegration of his eyes, the fight would be over in an instant. But he didn't want that. Something inside him felt that he needed to face her without resorting to destruction.

"I don't know," he replied with a defiant smile, and as Gisi fired her energy, Mitsuki dodged it with a quick, fluid movement, approaching her.

In an instant, Mitsuki executed a spin that deflected the direction of the energy sphere, causing it to explode in a controlled burst that lit up the air with flashes of bright colors. The energy resonated, but it didn't affect either of them significantly. Instead of dashing back as Gisi expected, Mitsuki moved even closer and, taking advantage of his speed, caught her by surprise.

Mitsuki unleashed a direct blow to his abdomen, but Gisi stopped it with his Heavenly Energy Barrier, which glowed in pink hues. Despite the defense, the impact made Gisi retreat a couple of steps, and his face, although smiling, reflected some surprise at Mitsuki's power.

"It seems you didn't underestimate me as much as I thought," Gisi said, a spark of energy shining in her hands.

Mitsuki didn't answer, as he was focused on his movements. His goal wasn't to defeat her, but to find a way to match her power while also controlling his emotions. He felt the energy flow through his body, and the glint in his eyes intensified, but he forced himself to remain calm.

With a swift kick into the air, Mitsuki momentarily disappeared, only to appear above Gisi in the blink of an eye. However, Gisi was already ready. In a swift movement, she created a force field around herself, surrounding herself with spheres of pure light. Mitsuki could see her preparing for a counteroffensive.

At that moment, Mitsuki understood that the fight would not be easy, but he did not want to win in such a destructive way either. He could not use his skills to their fullest if he wanted to avoid harming his opponent. However, there was something inside him that knew that sooner or later, they would have to come to an agreement, and the fight, although serious, had to come to an end without either of them being seriously injured.

At that instant, Mitsuki let out a confident smile.

"I guess this is the best part," he muttered.

Gisi, listening to him, prepared himself for what was to come, knowing that the battle had not yet reached its climax.

The tension continued to grow.

The air seemed to vibrate around them, both from the energy they were both releasing and from the pressure of combat. Mitsuki and Gisi's movements were almost impossible for the average eye to follow, each blow, each dodge, an explosion of speed and reflexes. They both knew they were playing on a tightrope; one could win at any moment, and the consequences of any mistake would be fatal.

Mitsuki moved again, his purple eyes glowing brightly as he concentrated energy into his pupils. Gisi, just like before, anticipated his move, but this time, Mitsuki didn't attack directly. Instead, he performed a seemingly unnecessary strike to the side, a deflection that confused Gisi for a moment.

Taking advantage of that slight hesitation, Mitsuki quickly turned around, searching for the opening. Gisi, however, was even faster this time. She leapt back, away, and with a smile on her face, she launched a series of daggers of heavenly energy at Mitsuki. The daggers were fast, but he was no slouch. With a single movement, she used her Soul Mirror ability to make the daggers reflect at an impossible angle, deflecting them into the crystal walls in that area of ​​Prismargia.

The battle was intensifying. Gisi moved forward and back fluidly, like a shadow that never let itself be caught. Mitsuki, however, seemed to be playing a different game. Every time Gisi tried to circle around him, Mitsuki was there, anticipating his moves, adjusting to the rhythm. However, both were beginning to show signs of wear and tear. The fight had lasted longer than either of them had anticipated, and cold sweats were beginning to pour down their foreheads.

Gisi took a step forward, a little slower than before. The concentration on her face indicated that she was no longer so sure she could keep up. Mitsuki noticed this immediately, and instead of rushing to attack, she began measuring her own movements, looking for that gap she knew would eventually appear.

(Narrator) Mitsuki hadn't stopped moving, but he did so more slowly, almost as if he was waiting for something. Gisi, in his impulsiveness, launched a blow straight at his face, seeking to surprise him with a quick attack. But Mitsuki had already anticipated this.

(Narrator) Mitsuki's Soul Mirror glowed brightly. Instead of simply dodging the blow, Mitsuki reflected it in a way that altered the trajectory of the energy, creating a wave of distortion in front of him. The wave of energy forced Gisi to quickly back away, but he was too late to prevent a minor imbalance. In his haste to get away from the wave, he lightly tripped on a nearby floating rock.

(Narrator) It was a split second, but that split second was enough for Mitsuki to see the opportunity. With unstoppable speed, he launched himself forward, his body moving in a purple wake. Gisi tried to turn and prepare to defend herself, but her reflection was already distorted by the mistake of her stumble.

Boom!

(Narrator) Mitsuki appeared right in front of her, and the instant Gisi tried to react, a flash of purple energy lit up her eyes. The surprise was so great that Gisi had no time to block. A direct blow to Gisi's torso, not in her physical form, but in the mental projection of her defense, caused her to momentarily lose control.

The blow was so precise that there was no explosion or obvious shockwave. It was a blow with the Soul Mirror, where Mitsuki had used the distortion to mentally destabilize her. That moment of confusion was all she needed.

Gisi fell on the shore of a lake in Prismargia, her body slightly off balance. A gasp of surprise escaped her lips as she tried to recover, but the damage was done. The blow hadn't completely knocked her out, but the disadvantage was evident. Her breathing was getting heavier, and her body was beginning to lose the synchronization it had had at the beginning.

Mitsuki stood there, watching Gisi fall with his gaze fixed. A small whirlpool of energy began to form around him, but he didn't let it take full form. He stood still, watching, unsure if it was the right time to act.

"Are you okay?" he asked, still calm. He didn't want to see her completely defeated, but he knew he couldn't give her any more time to let up.

Gisi looked up with a tired smile. Although her body was weak, her determination was still intact.

"Definitely… I see why mom chose you to be a prodigy, you are someone amazing… Mitsuki," he said, a sparkle in his eyes. His smile was a little forced, but there was genuine admiration in his words. "It was a pleasure."

Mitsuki nodded. The weight of the fight was on his shoulders, but he felt the satisfaction of having won with strategy, not sheer brute force. He crouched down and extended his hand towards her, carefully lifting her up.

"You caused me a lot of trouble. I'm sorry for the surprise, Gisi," he said, as he picked her up. "I didn't mean for it to end like this."

Gisi accepted Mitsuki's hand, smiling slightly.

—Don't worry, we didn't expect anything less from someone like you. Although I would have liked to see those two skills that they say characterize you so much. —he said, with a defiant but respectful look. And with that, the bright light of Prismargia began to envelop his figure, slowly fading into the blue environment.

Mitsuki stood there, watching Gisi's figure disappear, his breathing calmer but with a strange feeling that this victory was just the beginning of something much bigger.

Mitsuki stood there, breathing deeply as he looked at where Gisi disappeared, still not believing what had just happened. A small sigh escaped his lips as his body began to relax after the fight. But his mind was still active, processing everything that had happened.

"If this is what the daughter, the mother, is like... she must be extremely strong... you truly hold many mysteries, Allivy," she thought as she looked around, feeling the vibrant energy of Prismargia still flowing through the air. The waterfalls still sparkled, the floating islets sparkled like stars, and the crystal floor seemed to whisper secrets as it lit up beneath her feet.

Suddenly, a strange light began to shine from above, something he hadn't noticed before. It was as if a ray of sunlight, concentrated and pure, was heading straight towards him. The intensity of its glow was such that, even though his eyes were narrowed, he couldn't stop looking at it. The light seemed to slowly envelop him, as if it were calling him towards it, drying a little of the sweat that still covered his forehead.

"A little more and I'll go blind..." Mitsuki thought, with a mix of confusion and curiosity.

With a crooked smile, looking up, he made a joke while adjusting his shirt with a playful gesture.

"After all this, I hope this is a facial or something..." he joked, but there was something of admiration in his tone. He rubbed his eyes with a couple of fingers and, when he opened them, he realized that the light was getting even brighter.

The environment around him was beginning to change. The colors of Prismargia, so vivid and vibrant, began to transform even further. What had once seemed like a surreal landscape of floating waterfalls and colored glass, now seemed to take on a life of its own. Giant flowers began to sprout from the ground around him, and they shone with an intensity that enveloped him completely. The trees and plants emanated a soft light that changed with the rhythm of the wind, as if the very nature of this place was breathing.

"Wow... Is this part of the mission?" Mitsuki muttered, still surprised. He turned around, watching as the surroundings began to adapt to the new energy emerging from the light.

A strange feeling came over him. It wasn't fear, but rather a feeling of endless curiosity, as if everything around him was ready to reveal something profound to him. Something he couldn't fully understand, but he sensed. Without thinking too much, he felt his body begin to move upward and towards the center of the light. It was as if he was being guided, and instead of resisting, he simply let himself be carried away.

The energy field around him grew denser, as if the very light that enveloped him had a consciousness of its own. The ground beneath his feet grew brighter, and his breathing calmed completely. Every particle in the air seemed to have a purpose, an intention. Mitsuki closed his eyes for a moment, letting the sensation wash over him, letting his thoughts clear.

The light surrounded him completely. He felt his body begin to float, as if the ground no longer had power over him. He wasn't sure what was happening, but something inside him told him to let himself flow. The tension of combat vanished completely, replaced by a deep sense of peace. He enjoyed every moment, every shift in the air, how the energy of Prismargia touched him. It was as if, at last, his soul could breathe.

Despite the strange sensation of being abducted by light, Mitsuki didn't fight it. He didn't try to understand it. Instead, he simply enjoyed the experience, like a spectator inside an interdimensional dream. It was all too beautiful, too strange to be real, but something in his being told him that he should embrace this moment.

"Who knows what's happening right now, but it feels so good..." he thought as the light surrounded him more and more, leaving behind the battle and any worries he might have. The place of Prismargia was not just a battlefield. It was a place of change, of transformation. Something important was about to happen.

Suddenly, the light that had previously enveloped him in a warm and gentle manner began to intensify in a surprisingly violent manner. The energy gripped him with such force that Mitsuki barely had time to react. It was as if the light had transformed into an unstoppable force, a current of energy that dragged him furiously to the surface. The rocks and earth beneath his feet crumbled as the light dragged him through an upper cave, crashing into walls and hard surfaces in his path.

"This wasn't something harmless?! Now what?!" Mitsuki screamed, trying to resist the pull of the energy. Every time he tried to slow its advance, the light pushed him harder, as if it had a life of its own, dragging him through the cave with unusual speed and violence. The surface of the cave flew past his eyes as the energy carried him, pushing him towards the exit with a brutality that made him lose his breath.

Finally, with a burst of light, he was violently thrown out, through the entrance and shooting toward the surface.

When he finally landed, he lay on the ground, breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on the sky, scrapes all over his body and covered in dirt. But he didn't have a moment to process it. He had barely gotten up when he saw a familiar figure rapidly approaching.

Alaska suddenly appeared in front of him, her expression a mix of surprise and regret. She was not alone. Beside him, Allivy looked just as surprised, but with a hand on her face, as if trying to hide an expression of discomfort.

"Mitsuki!" Alaska exclaimed, her tone clearly showing that something had gone very wrong. She looked like she was about to cry in frustration.

Mitsuki, still breathing heavily, stood up with difficulty, letting out a mixture of exasperation and anger.

—What the fuck was that?! I ate dirt! —he yelled, glaring angrily at Alaska. —What the fuck happened to you with that technique?! You dragged me all over the damn place like I was a mole!

Alaska took a step back, her eyes full of apologies, but her expression was almost comical, as if she wanted to cry at how wrong everything had gone.

"I... I'm sorry... I didn't know the light was going to... do that..." she stammered, clearly embarrassed, as her eyes filled with tears.

Allivy, who had been silent until then, stepped forward to intervene. With a gentle smile, she approached Mitsuki, who was still rubbing his head from the pain of the fall.

"Mitsuki, relax. Alaska didn't mean to hurt you," Allivy said as she cleaned the dirt and superficial wounds from Mitsuki's clothes. "Sometimes techniques have… unforeseen events. She didn't control it well."

Mitsuki looked at her skeptically, but couldn't help but relax a little when Allivy offered her a reassuring look. The healing of the wounds seemed to be fast and effective, as if she had a touch that soothed any pain.

"Unforeseen events, you say?" he said, arching an eyebrow as the light of the technique began to fade. "Unforeseen events?! If that had dragged me on for another second, I would have turned into paste!"

Allivy laughed softly and nodded sympathetically. "Yes, sometimes these things have their own… way of surprising us. But the important thing is that you accomplished your mission, didn't you?"

Mitsuki snorted, but his anger slowly faded. "Well, yes… but it was all crazy," he said, lowering his head with a wry smile.

Alaska, relieved that Mitsuki wasn't actually angry, took a step towards him, blushing slightly as she apologized once again.

"I promise it won't happen again..." she said, almost embarrassed, but still with a worried smile on her face.

Mitsuki sighed and rubbed his head. "Whatever, Alaska… Just don't make me drag myself like a damn rope again, please."

Alaska nodded quickly, relieved, while Allivy just smiled at the scene. The tension finally dissipated, and the atmosphere relaxed again, although echoes of the unexpected energy storm lingered in the air.

Allivy, smiling widely and beaming with excitement, pulled a small medal out of her robe. It was a light blue medal, with a simple but adorable design: a small happy face. With a playful look, she held it up in front of Mitsuki and, in an almost theatrical movement, pinned the medal to the center of her black shirt with purple lines.

"And there you have it!" Allivy exclaimed in a cheerful, somewhat childish tone, her eyes shining with satisfaction. "Second prodigy recruited!"

Alaska, not wanting to be left behind, joined in the celebration, raising her hands with a smile so big she looked like she was going to jump for joy. Her movements were graceful and full of excitement, as if she were celebrating a school victory. It was almost as if the two of them, despite the seriousness of the moment, were two little girls playing at achieving something great.

—Yeah, we got it! We did it! —Alaska said, her voice full of enthusiasm, as she jumped up and down and gave Allivy a celebratory high five.

Mitsuki, standing between them, was silent for a second, his face completely red. His face showed a mix of discomfort and confusion. He didn't expect the "recruitment" to be so... strange.

"What the hell are they doing?" he said, embarrassment clearly marking his tone.

The heat in his cheeks increased, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He wasn't used to this kind of youthful enthusiasm, much less when it was celebrated in such a... effusive manner.

"Are they really thousands of years old?" Mitsuki thought, staring in disbelief at the two women surrounding him. Despite their impressive powers and seemingly deep knowledge, they were currently acting like two naughty little girls playing a game.

Alaska, seeing Mitsuki's expression, burst out laughing, and her laughter was light and contagious, like that of a child who had just received her favorite prize.

—I'm sorry, Mitsuki! It's just that, well... it's great news for us! —she said, trying to calm down, but her eyes were still shining with excitement.

Allivy also laughed softly, still with a playful smile on her face.

—Yeah, yeah... It's not every day we find a prodigy and they join our cause. —he said, chuckling. —So you know, we're celebrating you with everything we've got!

Mitsuki couldn't help but smile a little, despite feeling a little awkward at the moment. It was hard not to be infected by her enthusiasm, and although his face was still slightly flushed, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

"Prodigy, huh?" he murmured quietly, with a sigh. "I suppose there are few people who can be called that."

Allivy, seeing his shy smile, let out a softer laugh and patted him on the back.

—Of course! And with that sample, you're officially inducted!

Alaska, for her part, kept jumping around them, as if simply having Mitsuki on her "team" was the greatest achievement of her life.

Mitsuki, meanwhile, thought with a wry smile, "How did I end up here? Just a few days ago I was living on the roofs of other people's buildings."

And although shame still marked his face, deep down he felt that perhaps this position could be more interesting than he had imagined.

Mitsuki, tiredness beginning to take over, let himself fall back, lying down on the grass of the pampas grass. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked at the blue sky, further away the figure of the floating island of Ectiviland, finally beginning to relax after the hectic fight.

But suddenly, something crossed his mind and he quickly sat up, staring at Allivy.

—Wait... You said 'second prodigy'? —he said, a little confused, while rubbing his head. —Aren't I the founder?

Allivy, without showing any doubt, smiled confidently and crossed her arms, as if she had already anticipated the question.

—No, you're not. —he replied with a mischievous smile.

Mitsuki frowned, feeling a wave of surprise and confusion run through him. But before he could say anything else, Alaska, who was still excited about the situation with her unstoppable energy, suddenly stopped and, with a wide smile, dropped the bombshell on him.

—It's your sister, Elisa! —he said with a mischievous laugh on his lips.

Mitsuki, completely stunned, was silent for a moment, processing what he had just heard. His gaze was lost for an instant, and then, unable to help himself, he let out a cry of disbelief.

—WHAT!? WHAT, MY SISTER, WHAT!? —he shouted, quickly standing up, not believing what he had just heard. The surprise on his face was total, as if his mind could not comprehend what they were telling him.

Alaska and Allivy couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. But the tension in the air was palpable, and Mitsuki, as much as she tried to process it, still couldn't grasp the magnitude of what she had just discovered.
