I opened my eyes. Yuka was there. “What is it?” “There’s something I need to talk to you about. Come with me.” She led me to another room. Two futons had been laid out. In one of them, Anna lay with her back turned, arms wrapped around a body pillow. “It’s a little dim — is that all right?” A candle guttered on the desk, its pale flame breathing the room into soft, unsteady shadow. “Yeah, it’s fine. What did you want to say?” Yuka lowered herself onto a floor cushion in a precise, formal kneel — back straight, composure absolute. It was the posture of someone who had tended a sacred place for years, and who carried that weight without needing to announce it. “Is it true that you have memory loss?” No preamble. I answered plainly — yes, it’s true. “…Then I need to make sure you understand your own history. All of it.” She said it as someone who had been carrying a heavy thing for a long time, and was now choosing to set it down in front of me. “You’ve heard yourself called the Executor of Justice — but that’s only one face of you. A shadow of something deeper.” “Meaning?” “Your true name is Yuki Akemiya. You were labeled an enemy of the state. And you were the one who saved this world.” “…That’s hard to believe.” “I know. The only people who still hold that memory are us, here at Niibaru Shrine — and the Tsujino sisters at Meiun Shrine.” “Why just you?” “During the Anomaly Incident, countless people were lost. In that catastrophe, you unleashed your ability — and you pulled this world back from the edge.” “But I was told it was the Yatagarasu Foundation and the Elysion Conglomerate who restored order.” “That’s the version they published. But the person actually directing everything from the center — that was you.” “…And if that ever came out publicly, I’d become a target.” “Exactly. It’s not a story you let slip carelessly. And the people who don’t already know — they’ve simply forgotten. You’ve been erased from their memory.” Something hollow opened inside me. The ordinary life I thought I’d been living — had it always been nothing more than a stage set? “You saw it yourself, didn’t you — the red sky. The sea, the color of blood. That was made from yours.” The words landed in my chest like a piece of ice placed directly against the heart. “That’s connected to my ability?” “In all likelihood, yes. And the entity that has been painting over this world with lies — rewriting history, sustaining a civilization built on fabrication — that is The Tower of Babel. ” “They have convinced themselves they are destined to become gods. Their plan has reached its final stage. The Countless Eyes spreading across the sky, the Yggdrasil that pierces the heavens — both were extracted from you and repurposed by them.” “And they propagate it as divine providence: we are chosen, we have accomplished God’s great work. When in truth, every last bit of it is yours.” A quiet bitterness ran through every word she spoke. “How large is their force?” “We don’t have accurate numbers. But the rumor is that the student council at our own school — Niibaru High — is involved as well…” “The Elysion Conglomerate began with people who genuinely shared the same vision. But once they understood what it was worth — financially — they were absorbed into The Tower of Babel. ” “Elysion once had something called the Valhalla Project. The goal was to assemble the Valkyries and prevent the Anomaly apocalypse. But…” She paused — swallowing something, the way you swallow grief before it reaches your voice. “Somewhere along the way, it was repurposed. Reshaped to serve The Tower of Babel’s ends. The strike unit at its core is what they call the Church of the Broken God. The black entity you encountered on the road — that too was a mechanized Anomaly.”
