When's Late Summer?

It's impossible to win. This is already the ninety-ninth ring, and I haven't won even once.

The cycle will not end, and I don't know how to end it either.

(Because you are unwilling to speak the truth, you don't want to tell Awakener that it's your craving for his/her warmth that initiated the Ring.)

(This is correct, no one can stop you from missing the warm source of fire, even if this will take you further and further away from it.)

There must be a way.

Now is not the time to give up.

...What method?

Since the past devours the future in a contest of strength, all you need to do is to become stronger than the past.

What are you planning to do?

Let me think about it carefully..

When you overcome the past, do you have to fight alone?

What do you mean?

What I mean is, perhaps, I can join you in the fight.

Fight together...

Are we together?

You don't want to?

I've never tried, because no one can ever ignore the impact of the 'Ring'.

You are the first one.

So, is it worth a try?

That's right.

Let's give it a try.

Really came in..

You have become completely immune to the influence of the [loop]!

This is...

Is she just a shadow of the past? Exactly like you.

After all, she is me.

What have you done?

Why is there someone else here?

Do you know what will happen?

I don't know, and you don't know either, so that's what makes trying worthwhile, isn't it?

Can't figure it out.

Forget it, you'll understand after I kill you.

The premise is, you can do it.

Did we win...?

Yes, we won.

Next, all you need to do is...

In the [Infinite Loop], the [Shadow from the Past] kills the [Shadow from the Future], and gains the memory of the Future.

Conversely, if the [Shadow from the Future] kills the [Shadow from the Past], it will also acquire the memories of the past.

What?

This is just a speculation, because the 'Future' must include the 'Past', so this matter has never been tested.

However, the results will be available soon.

Finished?

Uh!

Researchers say that the W plan is a plan that can save all of humanity.

However, those who were saved did not include the subjects of the W Project.

For the test subjects, failure in the experiment means death, while success leads them to another hell.

Perhaps the luckiest among them is Sister Lilith, for her ability is to render herself invisible to others.

The researchers couldn't see or touch Lilith. They could only test her through remote monitoring and using robotic arms.

And I am probably the most unfortunate one.

My abilities can neither help me disappear from the researcher's sight, nor grant me some powerful forces.

It merely trapped me in a cycle, repeating endlessly until I found a way to survive.

They said I was a failure, weak in ability, and posed no threat.

I thought the same before I took my revenge on them.

No matter how tight the defense is, it becomes full of loopholes in the midst of the [Infinite Loop].

Leaving the Empire was the best decision I've ever made.

Walking on the land without any experiments and researchers, my steps have become much lighter.

I seldom use my abilities anymore, living in this world just like a normal person.

I have tried jobs like smuggling and assassination, just as a normal person would do.

After accumulating some savings, I set off to travel to new places.

My favorite place is the sea, perhaps because I am a snake Case, naturally fond of water.

Of course, it could also be because I met a special person by the sea.

Awakener You also find this matter quite strange, don't you?

Indeed, it's quite bizarre.

It's surprising that the musician Hathor has such a clear understanding of the history of Primal Stream, as if she had experienced it herself.

Perhaps she really has firsthand experience?

It's hard to determine the age of a Case from its appearance.

What you said makes sense... and also this.

Hmm, let me see..

Was there an explosion at the seaside?

What's the matter?

It seems to be coming from over there..

I'll go take a look.

Test subject No. 08 [Daisy], this weapon is specifically prepared for you. You might as well give up resistance.

Prepared especially for me?

We mean no harm

Stop!

What are you doing?!

They're after me! Help!

Got rid of them.

Are you okay?

I'm fine... Thank you.

Uh oh!

What's wrong with you?!

Hey! Hey! Don't pass out!

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, so I've always thought that being cold-blooded is correct.

But you told me, no, snakes also need temperature, it's just that the temperature of snakes depends on the environment. In a warm environment, snakes are also warm.

What was that word again? Oh yes, it's Cold-blooded Animal.

I have been wandering in the cold world, and you are the only source of fire I have ever seen.

So tight...

Daisy?

Hm...

What's wrong?

You are entwined around me..

The case of snakes is like this.

We will get as close as possible to warm things.

This is the matter that I just told you about yesterday.

I agree with what you said. I used to really like hugging a sister who was very good to me, even though I never actually got to hug her.

Is this the question?

Now, you are the only source of warmth by my side, and I will not let go.

But I need to get up... You can't always hang on me, can you?

Why not?

Ah, I give in to you.

The holiday time seems so incredibly long, this must be the longest summer I've ever experienced in my life.

What an unforgettable summer.

So, we succeeded?

There is still some time left before the first node to Devour the Future.

However, arriving here all at once indicates that it should have been successful.

Really.....

Daisy, I think I just saw some of your past.

It seems that what [Shadow from the Past] said before was correct.

No, it's not the same as what she said..

I saw another you, she told me about your past... The feeling she gave me was very strange.

Just like the [Devil's Whisper]

[Devil's Whisper]...?

Do you know Lilith? Are you aware of her abilities?

Sister Lilith can pull people into the realm of illusion..

Those who fall into the [Illusion] will hear the [Devil's Whisper] If they regard this voice as their own inner voice, they will gradually become extreme under its influence.

Voice of the heart... Voice of the heart!

So that's how it is!

What's that noise?

Hold on a second...

The scene... is constantly changing!

The time for the [loop] to end has come... I've never encountered such a thing before!

What on earth will happen..

These scenes are all by the seaside..

What?

These are all the places we've experienced in the summer!

The space-time continuum is in chaos!

Impossible!

The [Infinite Loop] is just a repetition of a period of time. It won't affect the future, nor can it change the past!

That is the [Infinite Loop] repeating this chaotic space-time, we must find a way out!

It's an [Illusion]! It's the [Devil's Whisper]! It has disrupted the [Infinite Loop]...

[Devil's Whisper] can be controlled! As long as you are aware of its existence, you can control it!

Realizing... [Devil's Whisper]...

The change in space has stopped.

I feel it.

The discordant notes existing in the [Infinite Loop]...

Roar!!!!!!!!

The cycle cannot end! I won't allow it!

After being defeated, it took on your appearance.

Yes?

After the cycle ends, the person I've finally found, the warmth I've finally felt, all these will leave me!

My source of fire! My radiance! My everything!

I cannot accept this!

I...

...

It should be the combination of the [Devil's Whisper] and my emotions. With the increase in the number of loops, my strength is being taken away by it.

I'm getting weaker... and the [Shadow from the Past] is getting harder to overcome.

The cycle cannot be stopped either.

Now, it has dissipated.

Everything has finally come to an end.

Sigh...

Yes, everything has come to an end.

Even though vacation should be relaxing, I feel... so tired now.

Take a break and then start working.

What?

Application for New Member of Teslovik Nova Squad?

My recommendation?

Have I made any recommendations?

...Daisy?
