School Idol Festival Journal Log 3rd Season – #20

Takayoshi and Thara have finally arrived at the unknown realm, where the surroundings are almost empty, and they are floating in the endless space.

“Big-sis, it seems that we have arrived.”

“Yes, my brother Teron. We have arrived.”

“But then, of what Lierre has said, we cannot go back to the Human World.”

“And we believe that our parents are still alive here somewhere.”

“This odd and unknown realm… I am feeling different, and I am not going sad nor happy.”

“So as do I. I feel that I am not getting tired at all!”

“But then, there is something special in this realm.”

“Of what I had heard, this place is considered to be as the Prison of Eternal Age.”

“Prison of Eternal Age?”

So then, Takayoshi and Thara tried to fly around the endless space. They hold their hands together, just in case if they got suddenly separated.

From far away, they saw at least two people who are flying in the space. And then, this is where Takayoshi and Thara finally found…

“Father! Mother! I am back!” said Thara, and she hugs them with tears in her eyes.

“Welcome back, my daughter!” said Scarl the father.

“My dear, I thought that we can never see you again!” said Frey the mother.

“Father? Mother?” asked Takayoshi as Teron. “Are you my real parents?”

Scarl and Frey were surprised of Takayoshi’s question.

“It’s a long story to tell, mother, father!” said Thara.

And then, Scarl and Frey had listened to Thara’s story about Teron, who was once as Takayoshi Kitagawa.

And finally, the storytelling has been ended.

“I see…” said Scarl. “So my son was adopted, and he was given the name, Takayoshi Kitagawa.”

“And then, Saki Kitagawa raised you very well,” said Frey. “I am thankful because she took care for you a lot!”

“And now, you have parted ways from your pseudo-Mother, who was once a School Idol in her younger years.”

“And don’t worry about questioning your true father! In fact, your true father is standing right in front of you!”

Takayoshi makes a statement, and said, “And it is all thanks to my friends who had trained and nurtured me. I had been along with them for a long time. And because of them, I had met these special girls, called as the School Idols.”

“School Idols…” said Thara. “That’s right! When I am walking around the town, I am seeing these girls that are singing and dancing on the stage. I once looked at them, and I am amazed at them, at the same time.”

As there is something that entered Scarl’s mind, he said and asked, “School Idols… I think I had been hearing those words from the other people, especially from the Eidonians.”

“You do, father?” asked Takayoshi.

“The Eidonians are a group of people who are only of female race. They lived in a world, called Planet Eidos, which is separate from our once fallen homeworld, Planet Crims.”

“And then, Planet Eidos is notorious in keeping their world pure from any unwanted people of any race,” added and said Frey. “Such as that, if you are not a female being, then you are being sent out, and you will be thrown into the endless dimensional space.”

Takayoshi asked, “So, how did you ended up being thrown here in this unknown realm?”

And so, this is where his father revealed everything about the unknown realm.

“This realm… It is considered as the Prison of Eternal Age. It is known as the Ars Realm.”

“Ars Realm!?” said the surprised Takayoshi and Thara.

Then, their mother added, “Ars Realm. Age Replay Space.”

Scarl did really explain to Takayoshi and Thara about the Ars Realm.

“Ars Realm is the third layer of the Timeline. The Timeline is where our time flows — one per every Parallel World. The first layer is the Parallel World, or in the sense that the worlds are put together and they run on a same Timeline. The second layer is the Interdimensional Space, where it is being used to connect the Parallel Worlds together. You have to travel to the Interdimensional Space in order to get into a different Parallel World. But then, only people who got special items are allowed to travel between Parallel Worlds.”

“So then, there is no way for us to get out here alive?” asked Takayoshi.

“If that’s the case, yes. We cannot get out from this place forever,” replied Scarl.

Frey also added herself into the conversation, and said, “The Ars Realm is very different from the present Parallel Worlds, when it comes to duration and aging. My dear, you have finally grown up to be a man, and you were once a baby! But for me, I have not totally aged yet, along with my dear husband.”

“So which means… The Ars Realm is,” said and questioned Thara.

“That’s right,” said and replied Scarl. “Ars Realm’s timespan is greater here than in the present world that you were once in, my son.”

“So which means,” said and asked Takayoshi. “1 year in Human World is equivalent to 365 years in the Ars Realm! Was my example right?”

“It’s correct, my son,” said and replied back Scarl.

And so, their long conversation is still continuing.

“Right now… We just have to rely on luck,” said Scarl. “Unless we got some item that can allow us to get out from this Ars Realm.”

“What item should we need in order to escape?” asked Takayoshi.

“I don’t know. It seems we are out of luck right now.”

With nothing left to talk about, Takayoshi and everyone else were hopeless and clueless on how they could get out from the Ars Realm.

And then, suddenly, Scarl told them about the mystery on why their homeworld got destroyed and crumbled to pieces.

“It is because of the Crimson Sword. That’s why they are aftering it!”

“Crimson Sword?” asked Takayoshi. “I know it’s a legendary weapon or something. But what does the Crimson Sword has to do with the destruction of our homeworld?”

Frey did told Takayoshi and Thara about it, and said, “The Crimson Sword is a weapon that rules over evil and good.”

“And why the enemies are aftering for the Crimson Sword?” asked Thara.

And this is where Scarl told them about the Legendary Crimson Sword War.

And so, their long talk continues within the vast space of eternity. Takayoshi is still clueless on how to get out from the Ars Realm.
