The mountain behind the Kyuseishu family's mansion, a true paradise during summer and the miracle created during the winter. A perfect place for camping and other activities, the firework festival and other festival is held near the lake in the depth of this mountain. Ullyss, Ilya, Ilua, Kuoni, Musouka and Yeon is camping on the lakeside, the lakeside camping trip is nothing more than a trip to welcome Ullyss and give him good memories he is searching for and the firework festival would be perfect.
"It has been a really long time since the last time we have a day-off isn't it ?"
"Seem like your brother, my twin and Ullyss get along really well."
"Well, we can say they get along really well my brother is really young, even when he try to be strong but who know, a kid will always have an innocent heart."
"And that boy Ullyss, he is not just a normal child who have the appearance appear to be the same with our priest isn't he ?"
"Like they always said, sometime everything appear to be a small possibility. But don't worry high chancellor, he has no harm... he is just a really child with a really sad story and looking for happy memories."
"And in the end, we choose to help him... you did really change didn't you, my tactician."
"I guess i really did change, my author. Don't be surprise, i am a tactician, understand something so obvious is simple, even my brother knows then why i don't know about that."
"I guess... i can't hide that forever."
"So... after all those time, you become this pathetic. Well, if i have to say anything correct, i would say... what goes around come around, but the past is the past... don't be that fearful. I won't let them know."
Yeon watching Kuoni left the mansion to join with his brother and enjoy the firework festival. Yeon watching other members of his order from the window above, his eyes watching everything like he is taking the last glimpse of one of the first world he created. Not every secret can stay in the dark forever, there will be time when everything is revealed under the light and when that time come, Yeon already know about his future. Death to him at that time will be luxury.
"Kuoni knows then everyone would know and i am also prepare for this moment, there is no running or hiding from that future, i am ready for any punishment, this future is the truth i will accept. Imprisoned or tortured, i accept every punishment."
"You should know, we saw this would happen, i told you but you didn't understand, everything i ask is your mind to accept everything."
"I am not the same person as you but i prepare for everything even my end so do you prepare for your end ? Mr. Author ?"
"So you like them, already know who i am."
"I know who are you and what is your true intention but you trust in the future that much ?"
"I always believe others can do better than i do, even if i am gone then they would carry future on their back. But i never gone, i was never appear in the first place. I should never appear here in the first place but i have no choice but to move first and stop the disaster before the chaos of fate fell upon us."
"You always try to do that, even you are not here, nothing but a phantasm of this world but i know your fate but why would you try so hard ?"
"I always have to try the best i can because that is my duty... our duty."
Yeon watching the shadow of the mysterious figure slowly vanish, he know who is that but like that man said, there is much more important matter to take care of. Make sure that kid have good memories in this world is the last thing he can do as the redemption for his sin, it may not erase what he done but Yeon know, he will have nothing left to regret. And then he can face his punishment.
"I am worried that my action will make you hesitate but fear not, this will be kept as secret even after the day i become the author. No one will know about this... So my king, our guest is waiting."
"I can't trust anyone with a secret but i know if it was you Tactician, you will always kept every secret because you have kept at least one hundred secrets in your life. So did you tell your brother ?"
"I will wait until the right moment but not right now, today is a beautiful day not the right day to reveal our secret."
Kuoni left but he know about that figure too, he knows who is that figure because he never forget that voice, that is the voice of the one who try to save this world, who tried to save everything... a desprate voice. But how is the question Kuoni want to ask but he believe there will be explaination, there is nothing can past the eye of the tactician.
"The festival already began brother, i think they will need some assistant from us."
"Then let's leave, join us when you can high chancellor Yeon."
The firework festival is the common name because the main show of the festival is the firework but the festival also have other performance. The performance of the girls from Liang's teahouse is loved by the crowd, just a few years since the arrival of Yhaovi, everything changed. The world rising from the depth of despair, the plagues destroying the world is banished, the inferno return to its normal state. There were lost and and pain but he restored this world and now it is Kuoni's turn to protect this world.
"It has been centuries since the last time i saw these performances. But i know they always exist no matter the time."
"Lady Yukihara..."
"Don't be so loud, a battle is going to begin so i want to spend a few last minutes watching these performances. It's a wierd thing that i always fond of children, your brother or Or's children and even Ullyss. Even the fact he is more than 300 years old but the spirit of a child remain inside him."
"Isn't that just beautiful, children's eyes filled with light and miracle, even i have to say being a child is truly the best thing in life."
"You are not that old, Or."
"Compare to you."
"Never speak about the age of a woman. That is the last thing you should do when you still live and did i said you are my favorite child, calm and collected."
"A tactician must keep a cold head, Lady Yukihara."
"Keep doing that and i will no longer see you as a child..."
"I don't think that is important, the way others see me is not important than the way my brother see me."
The firework shine on the sky, the shaved-ice cup Kuoni carrying in his hand already melted. Sorrow and sadness like melted ice, the sorrow for his brother's future being alone, the sadness for everyone's past but the melted ice turn into a mirror reflects his heart with the light of the firework, that also hope for the future, the world and everything else. The light also the his heart, showing the his joy that his brother still a child live with joy in his heart.
"Maybe i should tell him soon..."
"So how do you felt about your brother ?"
"He is nice and all but i just want him to know sometime i can take care of myself like that time he gone for a really long time."
"I can understand that. But sometime i think we should treasure any moment with any people we have."
"You seem like someone who know a lot about life and everything, so who are you ?"
"I am an orphan try to look for happiness also i guess if i am correct, i know i don't have the right to talk about family but because i lost them i know about the sadness when i lost them. The only i have left now is Yhaovi."
The firework shine on the sky, even how painful the past can be Ullyss still want to move on, he tries to find a fragment of happiness even how hard it can be. Ullyss believes he can find happiness and he knows Yhaovi and everyone can help him, like beautiful firework filled him with hope.
"The festival is fun isn't it ?"
"Yeah, i had a lot of fun, thank you so much for helping me finding happiness."
"Do you want to see something beautiful ?"
"A gift from you ? I am not sure i deserve it."
"Nonsense, this is something i won't perform for stranger but you are my friend."
A special talent of Musouka, a dance with Rosier his guardian spirit, a gift from Musouka toward his new friend.
"They are really close right, Ilua ?"
"Yes, Ilya."
"So, do you think grand master Luxon will be satisfied ?"
"I think grand master also like a happy ending."
