Bronya opened her eyes to see that the huge maze before was gone and were replaced by floating reefs.

And before her eyes was the core of reason.

Only a few steps ahead and she will able to secure the power of the 1st Herrscher.

"Seele..." Bronya glanced back to see her companion in the flesh. "You're alright..."

"Yes. I'm fine."

The girl answered as Bronya sense something ominous around her.

When she turned to see Seele, her eyes were different from their usual colour, now it's as the same eyes just like her companion Shiro.

"So we are finally here... And i never expected that this is what the core would look like."

"Yes... This should help us return to the real world."

"Who are you? What did you do Seele?!"

Bronya narrowed her eyes remaining cautious.

"Bronya Onee-chan. It's me! Don't you know me anymore?" She used the same tone to which the usually Seele speak.

But she was not buying that.

"Hmmm..." Seele had her hand at the chin wondering. "Ah, that's right... This is indeed the first time we've met."

With that the unusual Seele decided to introduce herself. "I am s symbiont living within her... Another side of her personality."

"A symbiont? The Bronya does not understand this..."

What Bronya matters the most is Seele's well being. "Return Seel back!"

"I understand your wish to protect Seele. But please rest assured Onee-sama. After all we are one... And would never hurt my host."

"And i know the way to save her."

Bronya drops her guard and agreed to listen what the other persona of Seele's words.

"Please give me the Core of Reason. To help Seele and I return to the real world."

Pleaded by her to which Bronya shook her head.

"Nyet... The Bronya will utilize the eye of deep to bring back Seele."

Seele sighed and replied. "That won't work... Because she have already become a part of the Sea of Quanta."

"The result of X-10 have caused her body to gain power of warping between dimensions..."

"However, that takes a toll on her too much. You already knew that right, onee-sama?"

Bronya remained silent, she already knew that it won't be possible. However she promised her friend that both of them will make it back as long as there is a way.

"But i have some good news. Seele isn't here by mere coincidence. Do you want to know why?"

Bronya continued to remain silent, however she traced back her memory to find the answer, and that answer she founded from their reunion.

"Someone opened the door for us. But it came with a price."

Thus she described of their encounter with that someone. "A voice called out to us. And promised to help us return to the real world on one condition."

"It wanted us to find the core of reason and remove the barrier between the sea and reality."

"No..." Bronya then realized who that person was. "You must not grant his request. Only one man wishes to bring down that barrier and with such motivation..."
