Thump! Thump!
Tama continues to defeat the DIVAs around her as Mikomiko tells her to do.
She was already fighting many DIVAs, including her own comrades. It wasn't that she didn't feel bad about defeating her friends, but that just wasn't enough to stop her.
If it's necessary,Tama will put up with it. However, forcing herself to endure the pain makes her heart even darker and deeper.
Who is her next battle opponent? Mikomiko is constantly tricking opponents into fighting, even those who no longer want to fight for fear of losing.
There were a variety of DIVAs, some bravely coming at Tama with all their might, some fighting reluctantly, and others declaring defeat and leaving before they could get hurt. And no matter what stance the DIVA takes, in the end, Mikomiko laughs happily as she watches Tama defeat them in an instant.
However, Mikomiko still does not take Tama to Unknown. It seems like she's having Tama fight not to find Unknown, but to enjoy defeating someone.
And in the second sentence, she talks about compensation.
Even Tama was starting to feel uncomfortable with Mikomiko.
"How many more battles does Tama have to fight?"
Tama fights innocently during the battle, but as soon as it's over, she feels a sense of emptiness. In doing so, her mind became even more dominated by doubts about Mikomiko.
"Until you defeat all the DIVAs! If you do that, it's as if you don't have any competitors."
"Is it for the reward?"
"Huh? Ah…..It's not for the reward. Of course, to get you to meet Unknown…..."
Tama stares at her, her eyes shifting.
"Do you really know where she is?"
"Well, of course…!"
Mikomiko has to come up with a proper excuse to convince Tama to continue following her.
As expected, even if Tama asked her to take her to Unknown now, it would be impossible. Is there a way to somehow prolong the time and cheat?
"There is a rumor that if you defeat a lot of DIVAs, Unknown will appear from the other side."
"You said earlier that you knew where she is."
"I, I just said that I knew, or rather, that I had an idea…..."
The harder the question asked is, the harder it is to answer.
Tama gave Mikomiko a suspicious look and Mikomiko couldn't help but look away.
As expected, it would be bad for such a strong opponent to turn against me.
I also want to avoid losing the Dissona SIGNIs I have taken from the opponents I have fought.
Wouldn't it be possible for her to forgive me if I just honestly confessed that I didn't know anything …...?
Wouldn't that be better …...?
"Actually…..."
Just as she was about to uncover the truth, she felt something behind her.
Tama reacts faster than Mikomiko.
"Ruu……!"
Unknown appeared.
"Oh, look…...! It's like I said, right!?"
Unknown shows up at just the right time, and Mikomiko is inwardly relieved.
However, despite Mikomiko, Tama tried to run toward Unknown.
"It's for Tama that I combined the two areas."
Unknown muttered so without any expression on her face.
"……Eh?"
Caught off guard, Tama stops in her tracks.
"R, Ruu…...What do you mean? For Tama …...?"
Even when Tama turned back, Unknown didn't answer.
Is Unknown saying that the reason WIXOSS LAND is in this situation is because of what Unknown did for Tama?
I have no idea what Unknown is thinking or what she wants to say.
Even though she looks like Ruuko, the feeling I feel from her is completely different from Ruuko.
Despite this, why is Unknown in the form of Ruuko, and why does she say it's for Tama…...?
This made Tama even more confused.
"I don't understand, Ruu…... Anyway, come with me…..."
Tama tries to take her hand in order to help clarify what she doesn't understand.
However, someone suddenly intervened between Tama and Unknown.
"Please excuse me for a moment."
It was Nanashi.
Tama's outstretched hand doesn't reach Unknown, and is vainly pushed back by Nanashi.
And in that moment, Unknown runs away
"R, Ruu…... !"
Even though Tama wants to chase after Ruu, Nanashi gets in Tama's way and Tama can't move.
Tama couldn't help but glare at Nanashi.
"Why are you interfering with me?"
It looked like I would be able to talk to Unknown properly soon. If she had come with me, I could have saved her from a terrible experience…... When Tama thought about it, she felt unbearably frustrated.
However, unlike Tama, Nanashi is easy-going.
"I didn't mean to cause any trouble."
As she said this, she walked away from Tama and Remember also came up next to Nanashi.
"I guess she just didn't want to talk to Tama?"
She laughs, pretending to feel sorry for her.
"If Nanashi hadn't come, Ruu could have come with me…...!".
"Is that so? It didn't seem like she wanted to go with you…..."
"That's not true!"
"Tama wanted to play with Unknown, didn't she…..! I also try my best to play with Kiyoi, so I completely understand how you feel."
Tama shifted her gaze from Nanashi to Remember, who was next to her, and expressed the same anger. Remember can't help but shrink from the power in Tama's eyes.
"Oh, oh…...excuse me."
Nanashi remains as casual as ever, and her attitude irritates Tama even more.
Mikomiko watches the three of them.
Just when she was about to be cornered by Tama, Unknown appeared at the right time, and furthermore, someone else who could receive Tama's wrath also appeared.
"Well, I don't know who it is, but it helped me."
It's better to run away now…...and furthermore, If I chase Unknown and capture her, I will succeed in the quest.
With that in mind, she immediately ran off.
Tama, Nanashi, and Remember were left in the place with a tense atmosphere.
