"Please forgive me, Haruhiko-kun."
Said Entress as he bowed his head. Couldn't be able to comprehend what is happening, Haruhiko is wondering what to do.
"Please your head, Entress-sama. Someone like you shouldn't bow your head to the likes of me."
"No, I really need to ask your forgiveness."
As he said that he bowed even deeper than before. His expression is an expression of the people that are seeking punishment.
"I'm sorry," he paused for a while, raising his head and made eye contact with Hiro, "As the previous Polaris, I must ask your forgiveness for not being able to thoroughly clear my duty. And now the duty is passed down to you, as the last Polaris?"
Hearing that Hiro's head start to comprehend what is happening.
"But I heard the title of Polaris is passed down by blood?"
"Yeah, and you as my great-grandson of mine is chosen by the Holy Sword. And now... The world fate is on your hand."
"I see."
He's starting to understand why Entress is asking for forgiveness. But from the legend, Hiro's once heard that Entress has cleared down the duty of Polaris. Different from the other Polaris before Entress, he was able to cut down the darkness.
"Yeah, Everyone maybe thinking, Yeayy the world is saved Banzaiii. Or something like that, but that's not the case. The moment when I was about to seal the darkness gate, I realized something that made me waver."
"Something.."
Hearing that "something" that made Entress waver to seal the darkness that is the sole duty that's passed down for years made Hiro a bit curious. So he tried to ask what is this "something" but before he can ask,
"3000 years ago, when I'm about to seal the gate. I learned something, the logic of the gate, and the people who live inside the gate." he paused for a while, looking at a distant "But all of that doesn't matter to me. What made me waver is the fact that Nova people cannot live without the miasma of the gate. They need to breathe the miasma at least once for 10 years."
Nova, what he meant is the devil who proclaimed themselves as people of Nova. The name of Nova is nowhere to be found inside the old book of Hiro once seen.
"And why are you waver from that? something that made you waver to accomplish the sole duty of Polaris."
"My wife, Errfa. Is one of the Nova people."
Hearing that made Hiro opened both of his eyes wide, surprised. Speechless, knowing that Entress almost risk all of the humanity just for his loved one that made Hiro a bit disappointed. But one side of Hiro somehow respects that part of him.
"Errfa is a half Nova and Vampire, and a vampire needs to breathe the miasma once in 6000 years. That's why I only seal the door for 3000 years. And after that, I used my remaining age to go on a journey to save Errfa so that she can live without any miasma."
He didn't talk about the result of his journey but, judging from his expression alone Hiro can guess the result.
"But, just how long is the lifespan of a vampire?"
"If my memory serves me right, it was about 8000 years. And my Errfa when the door is sealed is at 24, so now she was 3024, 'huh?"
Jokingly, he said it with a bitter smile.
"I see, so I am the current Polaris. And your great-grandson 'huh? I'm so shocked."
Said Hiro with a wryly smile. Suddenly knowing that the world fate is on his hand, he can feel something heavy on his heart.
"Yeah, that why Masahiro. I know this is selfish, but I beg of you to seal the darkness gate once again, and save my wife, Errfa."
"That's just... Impossible for me."
Hiro said it in a quiet voice that Entress couldn't hear it.
"But, it seems like you're already acquainted with Errfa, I'm a bit surprised when I see you walk alongside with her."
Hearing that made Hiro's asking. He doesn't get what Entress mean by that.
"The girl you're walking with just now. That is Errfa."
Hearing that made Hiro once more open his eyes wide and left his mouth agape.
"There's no way that's true... I mean, Yui is just a normal high school girl. She's a normal girl I can see anywhere."
"I know what you're saying, and it's my fault for not telling you in detail." Receiving a yell from Hiro made Entress showed a bit troubled face, "My Errfa is sleeping inside the girl you called Yui. I too don't know why she's sleeping and hiding there."
Hearing that made Hiro feel a bit relieved. He's feeling relieved because he's not actually in love with his great-grandmom. But there's still something bothering Hiro, how can the holy sword choose someone who bears Nova's blood in his body?
"But how do I seal the gate, and protect Yui? The fact that I am here prove that I already dead didn't I?"
He asks Entress with a desperate face. If possible, Hiro would take this rotten fate of his, if he could he want to take care of the relationship he had now, He doesn't want to feel the feeling of losing something once again.
"Come to me, Holy Sword."
At that moment, from behind Hiro from the dark side, the Holy sword came flying to Entress. It was a two-sided sword with more or less 70cm on length. The holy sword is letting out a pure bright light that made Hiro think it was a bit too dazzling for him.
"I hereby release our contract."
At that time, a thread that is connecting the sword and Entress is gone. The time the thread is gone, The Holy sword that's shine a pure bright turned into a dark and letting out a miasma. Seeing that made Hiro realize it, So this is why I'm chosen. It was precisely because the Holy sword turned to Unholy sword, because The sword is left within the gate, after living with the darkness miasma for 3000 years it took in the miasma as source of power.
Because of this, Hiro as the great-grandson from the polaris and a half Nova is able to use this sword.
"I'll take it, I'll take on this rotten fate. Hell if I will ever feel that feeling of lost again. This time I swear I will protect it,"
He said as he stretches his right hand to the Holy Sword, and a black thread is coming out from the Holy sword, connecting Hiro and the sword.
"Ah, I have to say it Entress... No, Gramps. Something like fate of the world is a bit too heavy for me, so I can't make a promise to save it..."
"Is that so.."
"But.." to the Entress that showed a bit disapointed face, "I Swear here that I will save Yui and my great-grandma. For sure.."
That made Entress looked at Hiro with a smile, a smile as if he was looking at his old self. His immature and naive self.
"It was up to you now, Hiro! Go out there, Show them who's the boss here!"
"Ou!."
At that time, a torrent, a whirlwind of darkness is surrounding Hiro a big Miasma is around him as if dancing with him.

The white-haired girl still there, guarding Hiro.
