Chapter: Cycle of Instability

Iruru: You got in a fight with Hatsumi...?

Nikako: I didn't mean to get in a fight with her...! IT just somehow ended up like a fight...!

Nikako: I just got caught up in the moment, Daa-chan seemed uncomfortable, and thought I had to do something about the current state of Eden...!

Iruru: Current state of Eden? Did something happen?

Nikako: It seems like everyone is on edge. Even Shigure-chan seems a little down...

Nikako: Everything is a bit off~!

Nikako: So I thought that I had to do something, and went to speak with Ren-san. But she wouldn't listen and told me to leave if I didn't like it...

Iruru: Ohhh...

Nikako: What should I do...?

Iruru; A similar thing had happened in the past, but why did this happen with you? She even went out and scouted you.

Iruru: The members back then are completely different to Nikako.

Nikako: I was surprised too... I never thought that I would say something like that to Ren-san...

Nikako: If I quit, I'm going to have tyo go back to Aogashima... And my short happy city high school girl life will...

Iruru: Hold on, hold, on, it's not going to end that easily!

Iruru: Hmmm... I totally get that theres something strange going on with Hatsumi. She's usually able to speak freely with me, something must be going on.

Nikako: Umm.... When are you planning to come back to Eden? You don't plan to quit at this rate, do you?

Iruru: Ahaha. When indeed. I still haven't decided~.

Iruru: Well, with what just happened, I don't think Hatsumi really meant it~.

Iruru: She's got high expectations for you, you can tell just by look at her. I think she just splurted taht out in the pur of the moment.

Nikako: But... I got her really mad. There's a performance tomorrow, I don't even know how I should be feeling going into tomorrow.

Iruru: Just be nonchalant about it. She only said "leave if I didn't like it". Surely she didn't mean for you to actually leave.

Iruru: No matter how much she says it, you don't have to stand for it. You still have a lot to learn about this world.

Nikako: ... This is hard.

Iruru: Haha. Well, thats one of the good point about you. It's getting late, lets go home. I take you back partway.

Nikako: Haaah... I don't think I'll be able to sleep properly tonight.

Iruru: Don't get all depressed about it. It's time like this where you should look up.

Iruru: See the stars? They're really rpetty tonight.

Nikako: Ahh, they really are! Amazing...!

Iruru: It really is. To be able to see them in the city like this. They're super bright.

Niako: Right?

Nikako: Hmm... Is that Saturn over there?

Iruru: I'm amazed you know that.

Iruru: Can you even see that from here?

Nikako: Yep! Because that's south there I think. And you can see the rings around it.

Iruru: I see.

Iruru: Those rings are very pretty, it's like the old picture books.

Nikako: It's very strange isn't it! You can see them because sun's reflection of light it seems.

Nikako: But... It seems they only exist because of the shepherd moons.

Iruru: Shepherd moons?

Nikako: Yep. There are moons contained in the rings. They rotate around Saturn.

Nikako: The Rings are mostly made up of ice and dust, but thanks to the gravity of the stars around it, its able to hold the ring's shape.

Iruru: I see. The shepherd moons, huh... The more you know.

Nikako: Yep. Like Prometheus and Pandora.

Nikako: They're kinda like Irurun.

Iruru: Eh?

Nikako: I think that the shepherd are like Irurun.

Nikako: Ren-san is Saturn, and the ring is everyone in Eden, and for the ring to shape we need Irurun to hold everything together.

Iruru: ...

Nikako: Maybe, it's just better to head back
