— It’s alright. I would never let it end like that.
At that moment, Yato completely understood what exactly Tokoyo, the last of them remaining, was going to do.
Pain from losing his friends have brought his sanity back.
— I would not let you. I would not let you take him away. Who is the opponent — it’s no longer holds any meaning.
— Sorry. I know that you don’t want that, but I just can’t stand it.
— It’s unforgivable, for everyone to be destroyed and disappear.
— ...no, not that.
Her true feeling were not like that. The truth that burned her chest from inside.
— I won’t let you lose like that.
Her loved man was going to die, only recognized as a mad god. Tokoyo refused with all her soul that grim and disugsting prediction that her mind draw.
A-ah, cannot accept it. How could she accept it?
If that was the law of the present world, then she would rebell versus such ruthless fate.
After her brethren were destroyed, if after that they were going to contempt him, then…
— For you to take the Throne — would be endlessly better.
Even now, when everyone was gone, there still was a thing she could do.
In Edo creation… no, it would be more correct to say that in this outer world creation the command over Yatsukahagi was taken over by Tokoyo instead of Yato, who could not exist in a world where people, not understanding each other, kept fighting, for that one reason.
This girl had the last trump card.
It was the all or nothing type of a choice, and once it was done, there were no way back.
Using the eight souls of Tenma, they could bring their leader back, make him born anew.
She could make him even bigger, stronger, strong enough to repaint the world and get to the Throne.
And so, this was, without any doubt, a command for a final decisive battle.
In this universe, from the oldest times, a person who was able to grasp the Throne’s Taikyoku ruled over the world — it was the endless drama of one god replacing another.
Yato and his strenght in this evil land, as a follower of the previous god, from the very beginning, was the one who was pursued by the current god’s hadou.
In the whole creation, Edo territory protected by Yato might’ve been as small as an ant, but no matter how small it was, as long as this evil land [foreign body] existed, the control of the current god was not complete.
Because this was the only thing he had to protect.
Because this was the only thing he could not forgive.
This was the very reason why the remnants have choosen the absolute defence policy. There was a reason in the limits of his power, but also Yato never wanted to take the Throne for himself.
Because he was such person. Knowing his own abilities, and knowing the responsibility of taking the Throne, he never wanted to place all the creation under his Eternal Hell law.
This man’s will, his love, him who protected himself and his allies, who was faithful to the dying wish of his beloved goddess, and who created that Edo and suffered in the endless conflict... There was no way for an outsider to understand him.
Struggle for existence? He is now in the way? Don’t understand it, could not hear it, how could you, lowly beings.
You would be crushed and gone long ago if not for him.
It’s thanks to him that you are still alive. Then, be consumed, for the sake of his honor. I would not let you complain.
And so, Tokoyo vowed that she would let him reborn. In the very end, it would be either perfect Tengu Dou or perfect Endless Hell. No matter who wins, the result would be an era of avidya, but there was no other way.
Up until now they lived without any worry, and he was cursed as an evil god, and so now was the time to pay the price.
He will win — because her beloved man would always win.
Because he knows responsibility, he knows love, and he has a heart to care about others… Do not put him in the same line with the Hajun’s universe. Know that there’s no salvation from his eternity.
So…
— I beg you, please, forgive me.
— I know that you don’t want that. I know the one who you love. But… no, because of that…
— I want to be pridefull of you two.
— I want to show that this your determination is sacred.
— [I love you, Fuji-kun.]
Muttering a words of a dream, Tokoyo unleashed her power.
In that moment…
— [Thank you.]
From that one word, from the unexpected answer Tokoyo’s heart stopped for a second. Did he really heard what she said? In that moment, when she heard the true voice of his heart, she was full of burning embarrassment, but at the same time, great delight…
— A-ah...
Through the overflowing tears, she said without a hint of insincerity…
— I am now happier than anyone in the world.
