『I pray, that you will reach to become the 《Absolute Duo》 one day.』


Prologue

<<Absolute Duo>>———.

I never had any time to inquire the meaning of these words.

“ ——— Ku!!”

The mark called <<Astar>> appeared on my chest and it emitted a strong heat.

The heat spread throughout my entire body instantly and it became hard to breathe.

This hellish fire was tearing me apart.

However, this was a ritual.

A power that surpasses mankind —— the process of sublimating by taking <<Luciful>> into your body.

“Ugh……ah……aaaaaaaaaagggh!”

I shouted in agony, expressing the feeling of having my blood, flesh and bone burn.

Shortly after, my body is surrounded by <<Flame>>.

The hell fire, which was overflowing from the <<Astar>>, goes wild as if it was trying to burn me to ashes, the very person who had released it.

But I cannot give in.

That’s because I would not be able to obtain what I desire unless I overcome this 《Flame》.

(I... I have an ambition I must fulfill!)

That's right. I can't stop until I reach my goal.

For this reason, I must control the <<Flame>> that burns wildly.

No, I should be able to control this.

That’s because this <<Flame>>——— is my <<Soul>>.

“Ooooooooooooooooh!!”

I shouted with all my energy. I then lifted my fist up and grabbed my 《Flame》.

“<<Blaze>>!”

It responded to the <<word that carried strength>>, the <<Flame>> encompassed my entire body, burning wildly as if it was trying to incinerate me, swirled around my arm like a snake, radiating a bright light.

“Ku...!”

Because it was so bright, I wasn’t able to keep my eyes open and ———

Eventually the light disappeared, I moved my gaze to my arm, and I was shocked by what I saw.

My <<Flame>> has turned into a <<Shield>>.

“This... is my <<Blaze>>...?”

“<<Irregular>>, that’s how I would put it.”

The person who had been watching over me silently since I said that word finally spoke.

Devilish, or ominous.

These words came to my mind when I looked at the little girl in a gothic dress.

<<Irregular>>——— there was only one reason for this girl to say that.

Normally, <<Blaze>> which was used to define the <<Soul>> would have been shaped into a weapon.

However, the thing which materialized on my arm, without a doubt, assumed the shape of a protector.

The mass of metal was thick, heavy and hard, giving me the impression that it would definitely not be cracked or pierced.

(What an irony...)

For me, a person who was not able to protect, to have attained a <<Shield>>, a symbol of protection...

Despite my memories of past I could not return to———

The girl in the black dress brought an end to my recollection.

“Now, go. The path that <<Shield>> will lead you to... I’m really looking forward to it.”

While leaving her laughter, the girl in the black dress disappeared into the darkness.

The only thing left was silence.

This was the beginning of me —— the story of Tooru Kokonoe.
