Book 6: Chapter 63
Scarlet
“Huh,” Tar mutters after I finish explaining everything. Then he finally leaves my arms and floats up towards Shirou while reaching out a paw and saying, “Well, it’s nice to meet you, Shirou. And thank you for keeping Scarlet company throughout those years.”
A brief pause ensues, confusing both me and Tar. Only for Shirou to reach out and pull Tar to her own chest in a hug while calmly saying, “So cute…”
I stare for a few seconds, before deciding to leave them be as I focus on Earth again.
Let’s see… at least the religions aren’t as strong on Earth as they are on other planets. Although Tartarus is very much into the religions. Which means I won’t be making any public appearances there for a good while.
I focus on searching the universe for any real threats as I ignore Tar, who is currently shouting about needing help to get away from Shirou who is still squeezing him in a hug. But I don’t find anything. So I eventually shift my focus back to Earth again, where I see my family, my friends, and…
A worried frown crosses my face when I spot my house.
Where I see a young woman in her prime judging by appearance staring up at the sky from a balcony while wearing a nightgown. And the emotions I see going through her eyes as her wild and obviously uncared-for hair blows in the wind around her is… saddening.
Is that… Aria?
