The Last of the Witches’

In COLORUL, a “kill the witch” mission was underway.
The witch herself has already foreseen this with her ib ability, and she realizes that it is inevitable and that she doesn’t have much time left.

Then one day, a witch arrives in Kuro’s class as a new student, Tanaka Hanako!
The witch asks Kuro to go out with her, but Kuro, unable to trust the witch, withholds her answer.
Unable to believe it, however, Black puts his answer on hold. After her confession, the witch tries to mend the strained relationship, and asks her to go on a date with him instead of pretending that the confession never happened.

After a fun date, the witch invites Black to her home. Black is disappointed to find a more ordinary room than he expected, but the witch tells him that she has a younger sister in the back room.
When they are alone in the room, the witch tries to get into a good mood with Black, but he refuses, saying that they should take more time for this kind of thing.

Then the witch replies, “Well, what should I do if I don’t have time? So I’m not afraid of one broken heart.
Kuro asks the witch what her real name is.
It’s “Furusuna Dream”, which is written as “a dream in old sand”.
For the three days left in the dream, they decide to spend it as lovers.

On the night of the second day, they promise to spend their last day together. They promise to spend their last day together and part ways, but it’s still dark at night when they confront the leader of “COLOR”.
But while it’s still dark at night, they see Dream confronting the leader of COLORUL!
In fact, the dream lied to Black when it told him that he would die at dusk in three days… He actually foresaw that he would die in the “morning sun in three days”, but he dared to tell Black half a day later.

The leader of COLORUL asks the dream, “Why did you tell Black a false time?
To which Dream replies that by giving him despair, Black’s ib will become more powerful and stronger….
Then the dream pulls the gun on the leader and pulls the trigger, but somehow the gun’s bullets are gone and the leader’s bullets pierce the dream in reverse!
It was Sera who erased the bullets from the dream gun………
The members of COLORUL surround the injured dream….
But suddenly, Black appears in front of the doomed dream!

Black says, “I know what you’re thinking,” and places the witch’s hat on Dream’s head.
But when Kuro says he wants to run away, Yume says that’s enough.
I knew from the beginning that Black would actually come. I knew from the beginning that Kuro would come. And now I don’t have the strength to fight it. ib is the power of malice. Now that Black has come to save me, I can only be happy.

Kuro still tries to resist, but Yume gently kisses him.
Kuro cries and says, “I love you, Yume,” when Yume says she has some last words to say to him.
Then the dream is shot in the head with a bullet and dies.
Kuro………ib starts to run away from the dream, which has stopped moving.
Then Morogi and the shade of the tree join them, and using the ib ability of the shade of the tree, Kuro is temporarily paralyzed, and they leave the place.

Kuro returns home with a sense of helpless anger and loss, but when he reads the letter from the dream that he found in his clothes, he rushes back to his dream home.
The truth that the dream wrote in the letter. The truth is that the dream was a time traveler from the future, and the present dream is at home.
I was abandoned by my parents and abandoned by the people around me when I was a child, and the only person who could help me was my future self…

It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Fukase. Is it easier to understand if I write “a dream in old sand” as “old sand dream” or “a witch when I was nine years old”?

This is how Kuro encountered a different dream than the one he had lost, and Morogi and Kage were pleased to find out that the nine year old dream existed.

The 20th ib.

On the way home, an Iroha appears in front of Kuro. Kuro thinks that Iroha is her usual imaginary self, but then she suddenly speaks out.

‘Brother Kuro doesn’t want us anymore?’
Surprised, Kuro turns around and is beaten by someone and taken into a warehouse.

When Iroha appears in front of Kuro, she reveals that she has the ib of empathy.
She then says, “You can forget about Iroha, but I won’t allow you to forget your sister (Jushiki),” Iroha…….
On the day of the fire, when Jushiki died, Kuro brushed away Jushiki’s hand in the flames and escaped alone, and he regretted it all his life.
Out of loneliness, he had unconsciously “created” her with his own ib.

It wasn’t just Kuro’s imagination, but Jushiki and Iroha. Then, Sera suddenly appears.
Sera suspects that the existence of the “beast” created by Kuro may have diluted the existence of Jushiki.
Sera refuses Iroha’s request to help her save Ten Colors, and suddenly drops a bomb on the unconscious Kuro.

Iroha tries to protect Kuro, but she has no way to protect herself from the bomb.
After the explosion and smoke subsided, Sera and Iroha saw Ten Colors holding an unharmed Kuro surrounded by a ring of light.
Sera saw it and said “Ayakura Jushiki, the 20th and last owner of ib “Hero”.
Sera explains to a surprised Irohito that “ib is created by human spirit, and the spirit can reside in the personality created by ib”, but she doesn’t like the fact that she is the “destroyer” of ib, but the impostor, Jushiki, is a “hero”.

Iroku is even more surprised when the leader of COLORUL and the other members appear there.
In fact, the leader of COLORUL knew from before that the owner of the “Hero” ib was Jushiki Ayakura, and that the murder of the witches (dreams) and Iroha’s intervention had all been planned for Jushiki’s awakening.
The leader then demands that Kuro hand over Ayakura Jushiki to him.

Black, who had regained consciousness halfway through the process, countered that it was not something that could be handed over, but COLORUL member, Ganekin, claimed that he could easily do so through the ib “contract” and threatened to hurt Iroha in the hospital if she did not comply with his demands.
In the end, Kuro says that he will hand over Ayakura Jushiki to them, but the “contract is insufficient” and Ganjin’s ib is rejected!

Kuro says to an astonished Goose, “There’s no Jushiki Ayakura anywhere, so it’s only natural.
Kuro created Jushiki out of his selfish wish that she would stay by his side and not say anything. However, Kuro is ashamed of himself, and eventually he says, “I want you to blame yourself, I want you to talk to me. I want you to talk to me,” he says.
As he continued to do this, he realized that it wasn’t just his own wish for Jushiki not to speak, it was the wish of Jushiki herself.

The ten colors that Black “created” had a personality inhabited by the ten colors. However, it was nothing like the real Ten Colors.
On the other hand, Jushiki herself was also afraid that if she spoke, Black would find out that she was a fake, so she was aware that she could not be Ayakura Jushiki.
Thus, the contract to hand over Ten Colors of Ayakura to him was not concluded because Jushiki, who had the “Hero” ib, was not Ten Colors of Ayakura.

However, Jushiki, who is not Ayakura Jushiki, acknowledges the fact that her existence was causing Kuro and Iroha pain and decides to acknowledge that she is Jushiki in exchange for Iroha’s release, and agrees to the contract.
As the ib of the Contract is invoked, Kuro says, “I knew Jushiki was a phony! Still, I’ve been waiting for the day we could talk! Let’s go back to our house and talk about it! And he tries to save ten colors.
“This Jushiki doesn’t have to be a real person. This guy is my family, ‘Fukase Jushiki’!

Given a new name by Kuro, Jushiki escapes from the ib of “Contract” and jumps into Kuro’s arms….
The COLORULs are surprised, but Iroh manages to fend off the COLORULs by taking away their five senses.
Thus, Mokuro was able to return home with Jushiki and Iroha despite being hurt.

Who is the justice?

It turns out that the reason COLORUL wants to get his hands on the ten colors with the ib of Hero, is to exercise the ability of Hero, Heaven’s Door.
Heaven’s Door is a magic that reduces the dead to the form of souls, and COLORUL wishes for a world where souls go where there is no hunger or strife, and above all, where there are lost people. COLORUL” is a group of people who agreed with the hope and wish that “souls are going to a world without hunger and strife, and above all, a world with lost people.
The leader of COLORUL tells us that for that to happen, we need the “heroes” of ten different colors, and we need to destroy the entire world.

Then one day. Then one day, all the weapons in the world disappear at once.
The situation is so extraordinary that it makes headlines every day, and the fear of not knowing when and where the bombs will be used causes the world to be in a panic.
The plot was set up, of course, by “COLORUL”, Sera’s ib.
Black calls Sera for the first time in six months.

Sera used to yearn for justice, but she says, “I’m a bad guy because I have an evil nature. It’s just right for Black to be a hero,” and then Sera says, “I’ll drop the nuke around dawn tomorrow.
But “I’ll find Sera, take her out and stop her! And when Black also declares that the world is about to be destroyed, a game of hide and seek begins!

After getting into a fistfight with the leader of the COLORUL, who was trying to get him to stop looking for Sera, Black said, “Is killing all the people in the world for the sake of a hopeless hope what justice does? The leader asks, “What do you mean?
As the leader tries to answer that, Black says, “Not you, of course not me. Sera wants to be on the side of justice. I will destroy the world.
When the leader heard this, he gave Kuro a note of where Sera might be, saying, “Save her.

From birth, Sera lacked the ability to empathize with others. However, Sera’s parents struggle to raise her properly in light of this.
Her father used to watch heroic TV shows with her and preach justice to her.
Under her father’s influence, she began to long to become a hero, but one day, her father died in a car accident.
As her mother cries, she asks her father if she can have her father’s hero hat. She was so happy and innocent. When she saw her mother blaming her for her sorrow, she realized that she was different from normal people.

After finding out where she is, Sera told Black who came to her, “I have the qualities of evil in me that don’t cause me pain even if I do bad things. Evil is here. Kill me as a hero and save the world.

Hearing that, he says, “You’re mistaken. I don’t save the world. You’re not going to destroy the world,” says Black.
I’ve had one true wish all along. I’m the one who’s going to end the world,” Black says, and behind him is a terrifyingly huge “beast”!

And Black continues.
I feel like I’ve touched the contours of happiness in the past few months. That’s why I hate the people who take happiness for granted without any effort, the world that has taken it away from me, and the world that will one day take away even this small amount of happiness! I am your enemy. If you want to stop me, Sera, you will have to be the hero.
As he said this, Black held out the hero hat that Sera had always worn.

When Sera heard that, she asked herself, can you be born evil and still be righteous? I ask myself….
He then picks up Black’s dropped hero hat and puts it on his head and says, “I finally found you. My enemy,” he smiles as he cries out, “My enemy!

Thus begins the battle between Black’s “beast” that wants to destroy the world, and Sera, who drops bombs to stop it!
On earth, the other ib watches over the battle between the two.
Only those with malice in their hearts can possess the ability of ib…the hatred and sorrow of those who have failed to fulfill even the smallest wish….
A nine-year-old dream watches the battle between Kuro and Sera and wishes for everyone to be happy. She fears that Kuro will die if they don’t, so she decides to take the last step.

Sera has one bomb left. However, one of them is an oversized piece of malice, “Whoever made this bomb must have wanted to destroy even the world, right? Sera says.
Everyone wants this world to fall apart. But I couldn’t do it. But knowing that the righteous are close by, I could finally be something. ‘Thank you, Sera,’ replies Black, reaching out to her.
Sera shakes Black’s hand and says, “Because you were evil, I was able to be justified.

‘We give each other roles and we can continue to be something because of someone else. I wish I had realized earlier that it’s a simple thing like this that can make loneliness disappear,” Sera says, letting go of her hand and looking up at the sky together.
Sera says to Kuro, “It’s time to go. It’s time for me to disappear with you. We have finally become something. That’s enough for me. Can you shake my hand again? And then, as he held out his hand, he said.

I’ll never admit to that kind of commitment! And it was a dream in the form of a witch who was supposed to be dead that prevented them from shaking hands!
To an astonished Black, he says, “Today, this day, this time was remembered by that boy (a 9-year-old dream). That’s why I flew in from the past,” the dream explains.
And he says, “It’s not super easy to die with another woman. Black and Sera are stunned as she angrily says, “That’s why I replaced the bomb with fireworks.

Moreover, Sera is overjoyed to hear the dream say that there will be more bad guys to come!
Seeing this, Kuro was distracted at once……..
Then he dreams of pushing Kuro and Sera into the sea…….. “I can’t be next to you, but I’m watching over you from the past. Even if it’s hard, even if it’s lonely, you can hold on to it while you have a future,” he mutters, and disappears, leaving only his witch hat behind.

At the edge of the waves, nine-year-old Dream finds Sera lying on the ground. The 9-year-old dream picks up the hat, puts it on her head and follows the footprints, which must be Black’s.
And so the “Story of the End of the World” continues.
