The Radiance was bounded by the void tentacles… At the moment I thought it was over, she shattered into essences and flew up again!
We made our pursuit towards her.
“Where do you think you are going!!”
“Don’t run!!”
“Come… back…!”

“Are you fleeing again?!”
The Radiance fly away from the second arena, reaching to higher ones.
I pulled their arms, stopped them from pursuing her.
“…Mom?”
They had helped me a lot… now the Radiance looks desperate… I don’t want to risk letting them tag along anymore.
I threw a charm out, Baldur Shell.
That will be a good shelter for them… and a good cage too.
“Hey! Mom! What are you doing?! Open it!”
I heard Petal’s complaints.
I held my sob, look at them before I closed down the last piece of the steel shell.
“Mom!!”
I ran away, keep jumping up, trying to focus on dodging the attack and ignore all their callings…

I hopped up to the platforms, and keep jumping up.
She’s still firing the laser towards me.
“!!!”
I dodged a laser but fell on the lower platform.
And I felt a twisting feeling inside me.
“…!”
I didn’t even have any time to think, and I threw out.
“……!”
That… seems… familiar? I’m vomiting soul again?!
That-
I dodged the laser and lifted my cape up.
That charm is in the cloak.
How did it get here?!

“Let’s go then, I’ve put up the charms you usually will bear~ Sting and Needle had woken up a while ago, we’re just waiting for you!”

“…!!!”
That…
Did… Did Petal equipped this on my cloak?!
