Aikari's face then suddenly flushed into red as that happened. He just couldn't say anything and was just stunned there. In Meanwhile, Hana stared at him and said "You're really an interesting person, Aikari." Aikari then blushes and asks Hana that question was just out of the situation there. He is still flushing red there and Hana just continues to talk like nothing happened? He then asked Hana if she didn't feel shocked by that. But Hana then just pat Aikari's back and says "cmon.. it's not like it's your first kiss."
As Hana said that while laughing, Aikari then blushed and said.
"Well... It's actually my first...kiss. I never kissed anyone before!"
Hearing that, Hana then just couldn't believe it. Because she knows that Aikari is already living together with Hirumi. So maybe they have done it multiple times? But since she's hearing that from Aikari, there was no way that could be a lie. But she just covered that blush up by smirking and said.
"Here not bad. So that means I'm your first.... Right?"
Even though Hana said that like she wasn't actually shocked by it, Aikari could see that she was blushing and looked away. Trying not to make a contact with him. But however, looking at Hana also makes him blush that he quickly looks away.
Aikari then could hear Hana's thoughts.
"What... Did I just steal someone's partner? Wait... I didn't mean something like this... Just what should I do...? How should I apologize to Hirumi..."
Aikari then looked at Hana and by all of a sudden says.
"It's okay. Actually, Hirumi aren't actually the people that I... No, it's okay. It's totally okay. Well, sometimes the thing just doesn't go as we wanted, right, Ardia."
As Hana heard Aikari say 'Ardia', it then just made her weird. She never heard that name before. Or have anyone ever talked about that name before. Hana has watched over everything inside that has happened inside of Quantum World before. So is it someone who doesn't exist in that world before? Or is it someone who is already dead?
Hana doesn't know much about Aikari's past. So she didn't say anything about it.
Aikari could hear that Hana began to think about it. But since Hana didn't ask him about that and was just wondering there, Aikari then asked Hana if she was still free after this. Because if she is, then he would like to spend more time with her.
That line then just makes Hana weird. She was happy to hear that, but it just made her wonder why.
"Is this a feeling of feeling loved?"
"Is it just because of I just like that person? Oh, that must be it."
As Hana had thoughts about that, Aikari then told her that he never saw someone as someone he had seen before. But for some reason, the people that he met in the future always hit him with the similarity of the person from his past.
He didn't hate that. But instead those feelings make him glad. Because of by that, he always thought that both of those people are always with him.
Hana then got it and suddenly she asked Aikari, "Did you see me as Hana?" Aikari then just burst into laughter as he heard that. Which it makes Hana pouts. Hana then told Aikari that she was not joking about that and she was expecting an honest answer from Aikari. Looking at how Hana pouts, it just makes Aikari find her funny. He didn't mean that. Because even for him, it was something hard to express. But he didn't just want to leave Hana like that. So he then says.
"No, I didn't really see you as Hana. To be honest."
Aikari stopped there and that just made Hana heartbroken for a while. Since maybe Aikari just sees her as a shadow of someone else. But then Aikari continued after a second.
"I do see you as someone who is really important in my life. Even though I know I will never see her in person anymore. I do know. No, I do feel it that she is still alive. In here."
Hana then saw Aikari put his hand on his chest. It took a while for Hana to think of it. But she got it as she thinks about it for a while. Because of what Aikari means, that person is still alive within his heart.
But then Aikari pointed at his own head and said.
"And here too."
Hana then quickly understood that Aikari will always remember that person. It showed her just how much did Aikari appreciated that person. It just made her super special. Hana didn't know about that person, but maybe Aikari wanted to tell her about that person. So she will listen to it.
Aikari then continues,
"Even with that, I feel like there is this one person who I could save. This one person who I could be with her and stay by her side like I did with that person."
"Because of this one person seems to be someone who really likes her. She is also... Beautiful. But most of all, I do see her pure heart. And I wanted to protect her. Like I promised to that person."
Hana did see Aikari blush and feel a bit awkward as he mentioned 'this person's beautifulness. Hana did not know the person that Aikari mentioned was her, and it then just made her happy. But she just smirks at Aikari's reaction and says "Oh thanks for that honesty. But now, what about you..."
Hana did see that sadness inside of Aikari's heart. She also saw that Aikari was someone who easily got sad as he remembered his past. Maybe that was a way that Aikari's past haunted him.
So she then took Aikari's hand and ran to somewhere else. She did run across the everything. Giggling and running like other people doesn't exist. While Aikari asked her where she was taking him to, she then just giggled and said "just follow me!"
Aikari did not know the reason why Hana did that kind of thing. But even so, that kindness just reminds him more of Ardia. As she always comes with a smile and joy. That Aikari always smiles and continues to be happy when he is with her.
As both of them are together, Aikari somehow still thinks like the world is theirs. As because of Hana's act, they don't really care what's going on around them.
Aikari was so happy, but he didn't know how to put those into a words. But for now, all he wants is to see what else is going to happen between him and Hana.
Aikari kept on following Hana until they stopped. Hana looked at the time and it looks like they're having much fun. But Aikari doesn't say anything about it. Hana does feel a bit bad as she pulls and grabs Aikari in this. But since Aikari doesn't seem to be care about it. She then asked Aikari first.
"Hey, did you actually okay with this? You seem to be quiet about this the whole time. It feels like it is just me who is just having myself here."
Hearing that, Aikari then quickly shook his head. He told Hana that he never felt that so. He was enjoying his time with Hana that he couldn't even say anything about it. He told Hana that he would walk along with her as far as she wanted and as how long as she wanted. Aikari told Hana that he wanted to understand her more and, if possible, to save her from any comeback to appear before them.
Aikari says that without thinking. Because for him, if Hana's fate is going to be like Ardia did. Then even if Ardia is still with him forever. He just wanted to save her. So that way, he could finally save someone that he wanted to save. Even though it's not the same person. But it will be fine.
Hana got it and she then continued to walk forward while holding Aikari's hand.
Hana doesn't get it why. But she feels safe around Aikari and also another feeling that she couldn't express. That she didn't want to let Aikari go. She then thinks of a way to have more fun with Aikari, and she then asked Aikari if he believed in magic.
Aikari then has thoughts that he won't believe in magic in the world where he used to live. But maybe inside of this world, a things like that exist. Because of he did see a people cast magic there before. A lot of mythical things did happen there. So Aikari told Hana that he did believe in that.
As Aikari said that so, Hana then told him to watch what she was about to do.
Hana then held her hand out and she began to cast something. Then Aikari was so shocked as he saw Hana's hair glow red in front of him. Looking at that appearance somehow reminds him of something he has seen before. But he couldn't remember it.
Not long after that, Aikari then saw Hana are holding something bright in her hand. Hana then turned to him and asked him to hold that with her. So Aikari then just walked ahead and touched it to see what was going to happen.
As Aikari touched it, he saw a color of white begin to blend in with that red ball on Hana's hand. Hana just smiled as she saw that. She then says "So, the color of your heart is white, huh?" Aikari just blushed as Hana said that and he stood silent. Hana then told him,
"Ain't the color white tell something heartless? But to think about it, that colour can be mixed with whatever color and become a match, right?"
Aikari did agree with what did Hana said, and suddenly a wind blows up, and Aikari closed his eyes because of that.
As he opened his eyes, he then saw Hana in front of him and everything around them was just filling with a red flowers. Aikari couldn't understand anything as he had never seen that place before. But he then saw Hana was smiling at her as they both arrived at there.
Hana then asked Aikari not to let go of her hand. Because she wanted Aikari to know that this place was a place that told him about her color. Her feelings and everything. She didn't think that she could show it to everyone or anyone. Since they couldn't get in there and just passed out. But she already knows everything about Aikari that she believes that Aikari can get in there. The enemy won't be able to disturb them or anyone else.
Hana told Aikari that the place she was showing Aikari was a place that only meant for both of them and she believed that Aikari might already know the reason behind that. When Aikari begins to think about it, he then might already know the reason behind it.
"Other than me, did you also be able to access Quantum Memory? Or was it something similar to that?"
As Hana heard that, she already knew that Aikari doesn't really have all the memories from back then. So she understood it and told Aikari that it was true. But the real reason why she showed him that place is because she wanted to tell Aikari that if both of them work together, then they might be able to change the fate of this world.
Aikari doesn't really get it what does Hana means by that. But if that was what did Hana wanted to do, then he would like to help her.
Aikari then uses his right a hand and grabs Hana's left hand while their other hand is still holding onto that energy ball.
Aikari then said.
"If changing the fate of something is what that you want. Then, count me in. Because changing a fate was something I hope I can do. So if this was my chance. Then, let me do it. With you and everyone."
