Everyone had a nice time with the Xeno when Lyd took Cirrus to the side.
“So uh, we are actually a guy short…”
“What do you mean, a ‘guy’ short?”
“I mean, there is another Xeno, but he’s down in the dungeon, getting stronger. He’s based on you about a level or two shy of you.”
“Hmm…His temperament?”
“He’s a battle junkie, a rather complete opposite compared to us all as we try to stay out of combat as much as we can, but he simply just seeks it out. But I must add, should we be in danger, he will come to our aid, so he isn’t that bad of a guy!”
“Just a little too battle-driven, then?”
“Exactly!”
“Say…” Ray said, coming up to Cirrus. “I heard you are rather well-versed in music?”
“I am. Want me to sing a song or something?”
“Um, no, I was wondering if you happen to know a song sung by an adventure that goes like this. Ahem! ♪ I sighed that I lost something precious ♪
♪ I know that there may never be ♪
♪ An end to the price that we pay for our dreams… ♪”
Many stopped what they were doing to listen to her sing, but Cirrus quickly remembered it and he sang along.
“♪ It can never be repaid
To carry on is to carry a burden
Even if it's too much to bear, I won't turnback
In the white light, we’re praying for the lost
For our grief, for our pain,
To the white light, we’re praying for the lost
So we try to find solace, empty hands together
In the white light, we’re going down this road
For our hope, for our fate
To the white light, we’re going down this road
My journey has to go on… with you
In the white light, we’re praying for the lost
To the white light, we’re praying for the lost
I’ll take all of your wishes and your dreams
In your place, In memory
Give me all of your wishes and your dreams
I’ll take all that you left and realize it for you
In the white light, we’re going down this road
For our hope, for our fate
To the white light, we’re going down this road
My journey has to go on… with you
We will remember the days... ♪ my I never thought I would meet the one who left me with." He made a sweet smile as he reached into his shirt and pull out from his shadow a golden feather with a blue tip. “This pretty feather.”
“!!!” her face instantly blushed, using her wings to cover her face.
“Heh~,” said Lyd. “I don’t remember Fels mentioning you were so good with women! Hahaha—GUWAH!!”
Ray kicked him as hard as she could, sending him flying into the wall.
“Cirrus.”
“!!” a chill ran down Cirrus’s back as he could see Ai glaring at him intensely. “Y-yes!” he said, putting back on a smiling face. “That is my name!”
“Why are flirting with another girl in front of me?”
“Nonsense!” he said, offended. “I was merely happy to have met the one I sang to back when I was 8 years old!”
“Y-you were eight!?” Ray said, shocked. “W-why were you on the 26th floor?”
“I was going to fight and kill the Amphisbaena.”
“Cirrus,” Ai said again. “You need to stop being so blunt.”
“What the fuck do you mean? You're blunt! I remember a guy confessed to you in Yamato and you straight up called him ugly and smelly!”
“He needed to know!! Someone had to tell him for his own good! Now he takes showers and works out! He like a solid 7 or 8 with good clothes!!”
“Oh, here we go again.”
As they see them having a little argument, Bell and the others in the Hestia Familia think to themselves.
‘Huh? So Cirrus was the one she calls her love, huh?’
