"Well, there's nothing else to do right now."

Ragna lay down on the grass of the hill and just looked up at the clouds.

"If this is what non-existence is, i'll take it."

Ragna looked around. He was in front of the church he and his siblings grew up in. When he erased himself from the world, he wasn't sure what to expect, but the church was not the first thing on his mind. Instead of wearing his usual red longcoat and black hakama pants, he was wearing a white t-shirt and white shorts just like when he lived at the church. There was a nearby forest to hunt for game and the water pump was the same as ever. An extra addition however, was a computer room resembling Kokonoe's. It allowed him to check on the people he cared for back home.

"I can still use my Azure here, but I sense that I can't lose control of it." Ragna said, looking at his black arm. The mechanical replacement Kokonoe gave him was flesh and blood again, but the Azure stayed. "I can't get rid of this thing no matter how much I try, huh?"

If this was the fate that awaited him after the shit he's been through, he was happy. It was simply peaceful. He closed his eyes and got ready to take a nap.

However, he heard an explosion come from a nearby field.

"Are you serious? I can't take a freaking break even here? Some things never change..."

Ragna didn't have Bloodscythe as he left it behind. There were however, several steel swords stored in the church. He grabbed one and put it on his back, before making his way to the area he heard the explosion.

"I swear to god if it's someone out for my head again..."

Ragna saw a figure lying down in the grass, and ran towards it. He stopped and studied who it was.

"A girl? No, she seems to be around my age or something."

The woman had long black hair and for some reason, her left arm was covered in bandages. She was breathing, but ever so slightly.

"She's not dead, but how the hell did she get he-"

It was at this moment, Ragna realised she was naked.

Ragna's face turned red as his old coat. Sure, that's how he arrived here as well before finding the clothes in the church, but he wasn't ready for this.

"Holy shit...uh...okay..what do I..."

Ragna gently picked her up, careful not to touch somewhere that would get him killed when she woke up. He stared at the church in the distance, trying not to look at her uncovered body...though he couldn't help sneak a glance every now and then. Eventually, he made it to the church's back rooms, where he used to sleep. He put her down on the bed and tossed a blanket over her. Ragna stumbled and sat down in a nearby chair, breathing heavily.

"Okay...hopefully she won't kill me when she wakes up."

Ragna then leaned back and sighed.

"But why is there someone else here with me? Is there a reason behind this?"
