Shen Tian came back to the Miyama mountain to meet Natsume. He landed near the house before going inside he took off his mask first......
Natsume is currently sitting on the s.p.a.cious tatami floor while looking at the paper talisman in her hands with reddened eyes it seems she just finished crying a while ago.
"Why can"t he understand me...? i just wanted to help him..." Natsume whispered while lowering her head. Then she felt a large hand patted her head, feeling it she glanced at her back.
"Shen...?"
"Natsume sorry" Shen Tian
"Eh..? Why-" Natsume vision darkened before she could finish her sentence.
.....
On the top of miyama mountain, Dairenji is carrying a body that is covered by paper talismans then she placed it carefully on the Altar.
"Soon.."
" its almost time, big brother" Dairenji said gently.
*step step step*
Dairenji heard some footsteps behind her but she didn"t look back.
"So you"ve come" Dairenji
The footstep become louder then a young man with fox mask arrived besides her. He didn"t speak, He just let her see the glowing orb in his hands.
"There"s no one around now, so tell me the truth what do you want?" Dairenji
"Use it before i changed my mind" Shen Tian said coldly while handing it towards her.
Dairenji stared at Shen Tian as if she wanted to confirm something after a while, she s.n.a.t.c.hed the glowing orb in his hands.
Shen Tian walked 10 meters away from her. to watch her
Dairenji ignored him but inside she is on alert, the eyes of her two familiar that is hiding in the forest shined, she let the orb floated above the chest of her brother.
"Do you think your brother will be happy when he know that you sacrificed yourself to revive him?" Shen Tian suddenly said when Dairenji is about to start her ritual.
Dairenji body shook she bit her lips as tears started to gather in her eyes but she still started the ritual by clapping her hands.
*Pak!!!*
*Bam Bam Bam* sound of drums echo throught the forest Dairenji took out a paper and she started to read its content.
"I, the shaman Dairenji Suzuka"
The paper talisman that is covering her brother started to glow as it floated scattering around them.
"Humbly offer my life"
The glowing lights gathered around Dairenji body.
" to Taizan f.u.kun, the Lord of Darkness"
The lights around her shoot to the sky.
"This feeling....." Shen Tian felt his stirred when he saw a black matter started to absorb the light from the sky.
"Is this excitement?" He thought because the light core inside his body become active.
The black matter fell to Dairenji and her brother it warped around her brother body as if it wanted to it. Dairenji who couldn"t see the black matter kneeled on the ground exausted.
"Hah....Hah... brother...."

The black matter that is connected in the sky was cut off, the remaining black matter was absorbed by Shen Tian, his hands lost its glow and Dairenji brother body dropped on the ground like a doll.
Suzuka who is already recovered rushed to her brother side hugging it tightly.
Shen Tian stared at this family love he suddenly become downcast because he remember his experience in Earth and SAO. "Time to leave now" he thought, He didn"t say anything as he floated on the ground.
"Wait!!!"
.....
Seeing the fox masked young man is going to leave without saying anything Suzuka couldn"t help but call out to him. Shen Tian heard her so he stopped in midair as if waithing for her to speak.
"Could you at least tell me you ident.i.ty?" Suzuka said, she didn"t ask about the ritual and her brother because she know that she failed reviving her brother.
"Im just a pa.s.ser by" Shen Tian said that before disappearing in the night sky.
