Seeking Answers to the Past

"Please... Guard him... Katzusa.."

Homura closed his eyes and breathed his last breath in front of Katsura and Feria.

Katsura lowered her head, she dropped her Deluz Crescent onto the ground, and she grasped the small bottle that Homura gave her vigorously and she also put her hand on the heart.

"Goodbye.. Homura.." he said slowly, cries began to wet Katsura's face.

Feria who was hiding behind Katsura's back also started crying, they were crying in the sun which was about to sink.

A few minutes later, Katsura wiped her tears and wiped her face from her tears.

The Embodiment Crystal that had already cracked and lost half a layer of its seal lay on the ground, then Katsura took it.

"What are we doing..?" Feria asked while crying.

"Even though he has betrayed us all this time, yet he helped us a great deal, he should rest in a more worthy place" Katsura replied.

"How would anyone react if they knew this?"

Katsura remained silent and did not reply, she also coated Homura's corpse with her gravity magic, making him able to levitate it at will.

"Now that we have to go back to the base and see the others, maybe they are done with the war there" Katsura said without facing back, he lifted Homura's body.

Feria nodded and agreed, "I brought a helicopter here, we can't carry someone's corpse by flying normally" he said with a smile.

They both walked towards the Feria helicopter, when they got there Katsura immediately flew it quickly and went to the headquarters.

After a few minutes they reached the base and landed. As the two of them walked closer to the entrance, they heard everyone's response to the war they had just faced.

"So it was really fun! the enemies there are very weak! ahaha!" Yubino looked very satisfied with the outcome of this war.

"I agree with you, it's like a potential dump, they all died for nothing. Is there any other plan behind this? Homura and Versace also did not meet, plus the attitude of Zeldris who suddenly rebelled and fled.. The feria that suddenly disappeared and Katsura who never returned, I was dizzy with all this" Arizawa sat on the sofa and curled up.

Katsura and Feria immediately entered from the front door, with faces that looked tired with all of this.

"Oh! Katsumi! you're finally home!" arizawa said, he is very happy that Katsura is back safely.

"Yes I'm back."

"Wait, if you're back that means.." Arizawa started to sweat a little.

Katsura brought in Homura's corpse, and all that was there was so devastated, Arizawa's cry could not be contained anymore, she let out all her emotions as soon as she saw Homura's face that was no longer breathing.

The atmosphere inside the headquarters was full of sadness and sorrow, Katsura went out to seek the wind.

Outside, the wind blew quite strong, Katsura was also accompanied by Aizo beside her.

"I thought you'd be sad inside?" ask Katsura.

"I've been sad enough for people, I won't do it again" he replied in a flat tone.

Katsura realizes Aizo's change in attitude, choosing not to speak while the others are still plagued by grief and distrust.

After a few minutes, Katsura was called in and Homura's corpse was already wrapped in a coffin.

"We're going to bury him now?"

"Yes, he must rest in peace, even if he goes to betray us, his service to us is immense. We owe him" Suizei replied.

"I understand" Katsura approached Arizawa and patted her on the shoulder.

"She said sorry for everything" Katsura whispered to Arizawa, and a handful of tears streamed down her face again.

After being buried, everything was quiet, and Arizawa asked, "Katsura, where is Zeldris?"

"Unfortunately, he's gone too. He died in front of me" Katsura replied softly.

Despite hearing the sad news again, but everyone was already unable to cry, they could no longer shed tears, which felt only a very piercing feeling in the heart.

After a long time in the tomb, "Goodbye, Homura" Arizawa touched Homura's tombstone and then went home with the others.

Today Mato lost two precious members, not knowing what happened in the future, Katsura will end all these mysteries, he will go to the past tomorrow morning.

Arriving at the headquarters, Arizawa asks Katsura to explain everything that happened to her.

"In short, Versace and Homura made war here as bait to distract you, they both went to another city to carry out their plan, which was to absorb the power of Ferus, erase history and rewrite it."

"Actually Homura had no particular reason to help Versace, he did not tell me the original reason, but one of them was that he wanted to overthrow Ferus from the first" Katsura explained briefly.

"Directing our attention? he was willing to throw away an awful lot of troops just for that?" Suizei.

"Yes, as he absorbed Ferus' power, he was extremely vulnerable to being hit. Eat it with the war here, you will not realize he is absorbing the power of Ferus. And here's the proof" Katsura showed the cracked Embodiment Crystal.

"This.. Very dangerous" said Cezo.

"We need to fix it immediately or Ferus will break the seal!" he added.

Katsura gives the Embodiment Crystal to Cezo and entrusts Cezo to repair it.

"Rewriting history? what kind of purpose is that?" Suizei asked.

"Yes, I don't really understand her thinking either, it's very strange" Katsura replied.

After speaking at length about what she was going through, Katsura went to her room and she was a little surprised at the door of her room with Feria waiting for her.

"Feria? what's up?"

With a timid face he did not reply, he coded to Katsura. Katsura understood and he walked over, a few centimeters away from Feria's body.

"What's wrong?" Katsura spoke in a soft and gentle tone.

Feria closed her eyes and walked forward, hugging Katsura tightly.

"Do we have time to be alone now..? I. I miss you." she said, her voice was very slow and she hid her face behind Katsura's clothes.

Katsura stroked Feria's head gently, "Sorry, yes. I promise this is the last time I travel, tomorrow I will go to 100 years in the past. I also really want to be alone with you but.-"

"Then take me with you!" Feria hugged tighter and tighter, crying began to pour out again from her eyes.

Katsura understood Feria's feelings, he hugged Feria back and kissed her head.

"Yes well, tomorrow we go together" don't cry, huh?

Feria stopped crying and even hugged Katsura tighter, she was very very happy when Katsura was willing to invite her as well.

Feria gave a small laugh, she stood up and went into her room. Katsura's feeling was pounding at the moment, he had never experienced anything like that. Katsura went into her room and began to rest.

In his dream, Marx's voice again rang out in Katsura's mind.

"Katsumi... Katsumi..."

Seriate...
