Part 6

While we were returning to the shopping street's neighborhood from the observation platform, the sky's color was already turning from blue to red.

The bus was very infrequent, so the journey took longer than planned.

We were on the way back home, walking along a road on the shore of the river running through the center of town.

"—Yggdrasil, hath thy sharing of information with the Akashic Record not completed yet?"

I was looking out at the river's shimmering surface reflecting the setting sun's rays when Vritra's voice entered my ears. I looked back at the two girls walking at the back.

"Yes, it looks like it'll have to wait till tomorrow."

Tia answered apologetically and Vritra sighed deeply.

"Is waiting very boring?

I slowed down my pace to walk alongside those two, then asked Vritra.

"Yes, today's outing was also very uninteresting."

"...But I saw you enjoying the ice cream quite a lot."

Despite calling it worthless, Vritra still finished the ice cream.

"Well—That was not bad, but the town itself is very uninteresting. With nothing particularly striking, 'tis all too plain."

"Perhaps you're right. And it's not just you. Many humans probably share the same view as you."

I smiled wryly and agreed with her. Vritra looked up at me with a surprised expression.

"Thou admitest 'tis an uninteresting town too?"

"No, people are free to say what they think, but to Mitsuki and me, this is a special place."

I asserted clearly. Listening beside me, Tia nodded in agreement.

"That goes without saying, because there are many important memories!"

"Memories..."

Vritra repeated the word Tia had said. I gasped too, because that was precisely the root issue.

"—That's right. It's special precisely because of intangible memories and human relationships. After getting back a bit of my memories, I can now understand this."

I expressed agreement with Tia then looked at Vritra.

"Dark matter cannot create intangible things, right? In that case, you can't call them worthless from your perspective either, right?"

"Intangible things equate to nothingness, nonexistent things. I cannot see what value they have."

I originally thought Vritra would understand but she refuted me flatly.

"You're so stubborn. Then what about Kili?"

"What?"

"This was brought up before. You did not make copies of Kili. I think something tangible and irreplaceable can be considered special."

"......"

Vritra fell silent after hearing what I said. After a moment's thought, she replied:

"...I concede that she is very useful and replication is difficult, but to me, she is nothing more than something disposable."

Vritra was probably referring to tampering with Kili's dragon mark to turn her into Hraesvelgr's mate. However—

"But it was your failure. It wasn't Kili's fault that Hraesvelgr did not choose her as its mate—I think it was because the modification of the dragon mark was imperfect. This is evidence that you don't have perfect control over biogenic transmutation... Otherwise, there was hesitation in your heart... The reason has to be one of these two."

"Hmm..."

Vritra frowned. Regardless which one, neither was amusing to Vritra. One could hardly blame her for feeling displeased.

"Thou art infuriating. Were it not for Yggdrasil's special warning, I would have obliterated thee."

"Resorting to violence when you're beaten in an argument, that's no good.
