Part 1
Kanata: Paradox Live... We, Cozmez, won the stage battle. And then that incident awakened.
Behind the scenes... was Alter Trigger's hidden plan.
When I got my hands on 10 billions yen, my target, Nayuta had...
*knocking
Iori: Come in.
Zen: Kanata-kun! Sorry, we made you go all the way to our shop.
Kanata: Ah, it's nothing.
Iori: Here, the payment for your part-time job. Thank you for your hard work as always~!
Kanata: Thanks. I'm sorry but can I stop doing this kind of job now?
Iori: That's right! I totally forgot. Cozmez has their prize money from the stage battle, you guys are rich with 10 billions now. You guys have the money to live in luxury your whole life without having to do part-time jobs!
Zen: Once again, congrats! The dream of the two of you have became true
Kanata: Came true my ass...
Zen: Eh...
Kanata: The dream that came true is mine, not Nayuta's dream, right?
Zen: !.... *sigh
Kanata: I already found out, .. everything. Suiseki-san, even the reason you told me to collect metals was because if I saw those guys that got affected with metal erosion, I'm gonna remember it someday right? By my own power, the memories that I sealed will come back. For that reason, you made me a collector, right?
Iori: Yeah, exactly. I know it is not my business but I can't just pretend to know nothing.
Kanata: I finally remember. The truth that I forgot.. That is....
*Flashback
*train passing
Kanata: Nayuta? Where have you gone, Nayuta!
Don't fuck with me, come out Nayuta!!! If you disappeared without a word I will never forgive you!
Nayuta: Kana... ta?
Kanata: Nayuta! This is where you are, jeez.. Hey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? Even so, there's no way you would come to this disgusting building just to take a nap, unbelievable! Don't tell me... you got in a fight without me and got beat up...
Oi.. hey! There's blood coming out!... What happened, Nayuta!? Who did this!?
Nayuta: Kanata...
Kanata: Eh?
Nayuta: I'm... sorry...
Kanata: Huh? What are you sayin-
Nayuta: I...
Kanata: Nayuta?
Nayuta: I... really... wanted... to be with... Kanata forever... and ever...
Kanata: Nayuta? Hey Nayuta!!! Nayuta! What the hell..what's happening to your body!?
Nayuta: Thank you... for... living with... me...
Kanata: Nayuta? Stop, Dont- DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!!! I don't want that.. no... Nayuta.. NAYUTAAAAA!!!
*End of Flashback
Kanata: I thought it was just a nightmare but no, it was the truth.
I've sealed away that memory... so I could protect myself. I pretended not to hear Nayuta's last words then, and participated in Paradox Live as "Cozmez". But, at least tell me one thing.
Iori: What is it?
Kanata: I can't remember anything after that. Like a part of my memories just got cut off. When I realized, Nayuta had been by my side like nothing happened.
Iori: Ha...
Kanata: At that time, under that high building Nayuta had died, because he couldn't stop the metal erosion, he died... right?
Iori: Could you think of anything else?
Kanata: I see. That must be it. I see, haha, Nayuta is already dead, of course ahaha.
Zen: Kanata-kun...
Kanata: Listen! I won't collect anymore, but if you have any other jobs feel free to contact me.
Zen: Eh?
Kanata: Just because I'm all alone now, doesn't mean I could feed myself without doing part-time jobs.
Zen: But... you still have the prize money?
Kanata: I'll return it.
Zen: Eh?
Kanata: I wanted that 10 billion money for Nayuta. If Nayuta is no longer here, it's meaningless.
Zen: That's..
Kanata: Furthermore, I'll back out of the final battle.
Zen: Kanata-kun...
Iori: Are you sure it's okay?
Kanata: Yeah.
Iori: I see.
Kanata: Then, that's all to it.
*Door Opening
Iori: They say that when you gain something, you'll lose something, but who could imagine it'll come to this.
Zen: For him to come this far and then lose the thing that is dearest to him.... It's so tragic...
Iori: Good grief, with this, I can't really call this a good outcome.
