Me and Haruna moved to a place where there would be no people.
“How were you?”
Haruna said with a smile.
“I don’t know if you’ve been well. It was a lot of work.”
“is that so? That’s really sad. By the way.”
Haruna changed her expression and looked at me fiercely.
“Why didn’t you take over the head of state?”
So I answered with a question.
“Are you the one who passed the information on to Professor Robert?”
“I must have told you to take over the head of state.”
“I will ask again. Are you the one who drove Professor Robert into a limb?”
The conversation didn’t go on.
Haruna sighed.
“Are you talking properly?”
“If you answer my questions, let me answer them too.”
I had no intention of leaving.
It means that if you sacrifice the people around you once, you can do it again.
If I had such a person around, the people around me would disappear one by one.
I had no intention of accepting such a situation.
“I am sorry about what happened to Professor Robert.”
“I’m sorry and what? what did you do?”
Haruna nodded her head.
“you’re right.”
close.
I asked for a molar.
“you… … . Professor Robert… … .”
“You would be dead if I hadn’t told Professor Robert.”
“Would there have been many other ways? He could have told me that, and he could have prevented this from happening.”
“I could have passed it on once.”
“So you’re saying that it won’t happen when Professor Robert dies?”
“yes.”
was adamant
So I got even more angry.
“Professor Robert! What did Professor Robert do wrong? Can’t I just become stronger and you can properly tell the future? how… … .”
“Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect?”
“… … Butterfly effect?”
“The flapping of a small butterfly’s wings can bring about great storms from afar. Aren’t you afraid of what will happen if I tell you the future and do something else?”
“Then what made Professor Robert die? Is that not your intervention?”
“It was the least impactful way. And I didn’t force him to make sacrifices. It was Robert who chose him.”
“Select?”
I was in doubt.
What did Haruna do to Professor Robert?
“I just showed Professor Robert the past and the future. And the decision he made was his own sacrifice.”
I narrowed my brow.
According to Haruna, she didn’t ask Robert to make a sacrifice.
The sacrifice itself was entirely at Robert’s discretion.
Does that mean that it will pass?
Haruna had read the future and knew that Robert would make such a judgment.
That’s what prompted Robert to make that decision.
“So does that mean it’s not your fault?”
“If it’s my fault, it’s my fault. However, it was indispensable.”
“Indispensable?”
“Astina. Keeping her alive has changed many futures. Your growth has been delayed, and the situation itself has changed.”
I clenched my fist.
“Then ask. So, did it go your way?”
“If you hadn’t given up on your position as head of state, it would have worked for you.”
“As you wish? So you’re saying that if I inherited the head of state, everything would be okay? Can Aryandor also win, and no one dies and can it end peacefully?”
“… … .”
Haruna did not answer my question.
Robert’s last words.
Haruna didn’t know all the future.
Just because you can see the future doesn’t mean you can control it.
You can change an individual’s life, but you cannot change the whole world.
However, he had no intention of making Haruna responsible for Robert’s death.
It is true that Robert’s sacrifice was forced, but it was not Haruna’s fault.
Because it was the rebels, not Haruna, who really killed Robert.
“Haruna, I remember you helping us. If you hadn’t come from the academy, it would have been difficult for Liena Uni and Astina to survive.”
That’s why I’m talking here.
Haruna certainly helped us a lot.
The academy also helped me and told me about Astina’s death, so Astina was able to live.
I am definitely grateful for this.
However, it was difficult to tolerate the death of others.
“I will do my best to change someone’s death. But don’t induce anyone to die.”
“sorry.”
Haruna bowed her head to me.
I sighed.
If the professor had been here, he would probably say, ‘What are you doing with this?’ and I will laugh
I no longer scolded her.
“So, why are you here?”
Haruna raised her head and looked at me with a puzzled face.
“There’s no reason to come.”
“ah… … . It’s because of your seat.”
“Captain seat?”
Haruna erased her puzzled face and put on a very serious expression.
“Aren’t you looking for Prime Minister Ophilus?”
I nodded.
Why did I come to the academy without taking a lead?
It was to bring Haruna here.
“Prime Minister Ophilus must have already died.”
“What?”
“That is the future. And Aryandor will also absorb his time magic, giving him greater power. At that time, neither will you be able to stop Aryandor.”
“Then you’re saying that if I inherit the governor’s seat, I can stop it?”
“Yeah, so you can have all the space magic too.”
Aryandor who has all of time magic.
To deal with him, you must have all of space magic.
then… … .
“Are you sure that Prime Minister Ophilus is dead? Not in the future you saw, but in this reality.”
“I don’t know. Anyway, space magic… … .”
“Then where is Chancellor Ophilus in the future you saw?”
“yes?”
“If Prime Minister Ophilus is alive. Then it doesn’t matter That way, I will be able to face Aryandor too.”
“But, Chancellor Ophilus… … .”
“This situation is not the future you saw. Then the future could have changed.”
Ophilus Resurgence.
I don’t know much about that person.
However, I don’t think he’s the kind of person to give up easily.
He was a man carrying a lot of people on his shoulders.
He never handed over his burdens to anyone else.
He was the only one carrying it on his back and moving forward.
“Where is Prime Minister Ophilus now?”
***
“ha… … ha… … .”
Prime Minister Ophilus died several times.
Over 100 times.
He died so much that it was hard to count any more and he couldn’t come to his senses.
“How about giving up now?”
Aryandor again walked to kill Ophilus.
Ophilus stared blankly at his sword.
It would be easier if I died this time.
Ophilus was still waiting.
He waited only for Rudina Ian to return.
However, the two did not come.
Something is wrong.
Aryandor looked at Ophilus’s expression and smiled.
“Are you feeling strange now?”
“how… … did it happen?”
“Ophilus, do you know where this is?”
“… … here?”
Ophilus looked around.
It was a place I kept looking.
own mansion.
There was nothing strange.
Aryandor slowly walked towards the window.
Then he pulled up the curtains that had been drawn.
Then you see a dark landscape outside.
Collapsed buildings and empty streets.
“… … Epomos.”
It was the ruined city of Epomos beneath the capital.
“It took quite a bit of effort to build a mansion that was exactly the same as yours.”
“Uh, how are you here… … .”
“Do you know where this place is?”
“Place?”
“It is the place where you and I first met. That place, when you saved me.” Aryandor used magic right before Ophilus used time magic.
So I moved the space.
To the place where the two of you first met.
Ophilus didn’t notice.
It was Ophilus who had become sensually dull as he hardly used time magic.
“So, what are we going to do now? Are you going to hold out until you can?”
Aryandor smiled and raised his sword.
desperate situation.
People are more frustrated when they fall into the abyss when they are in a hopeful situation than when a desperate situation comes without warning.
It wasn’t much different from Ophilus.
I knew that someone could come to the rescue, but they can’t come here.
No one will be able to predict it.
If they realized that the space was moved by time magic, it was clear that they would search the rebel’s stronghold, not Epomos.
Because it was dark under the lamp, there was no way of knowing whether it was directly underground in the capital.
“haha… … .”
Ophilus smiled sadly.
“Okay, how about dying now?”
“okay… … . I guess so.”
Ophilus stood up and said.
Aryandor raised an eyebrow at this.
“I thought well. Then the magic… … .”
“However.”
Ophilus felt despair.
I didn’t give up though.
“I have no intention of giving you any strength.”
“What?”
Ophilus moved his mana.
“I have to pay for my sins.”
Ophilus promised.
He promised Robert, someone who knew his past.
never gonna die
Ophilus committed many sins.
I had committed such a sin and tried to change the future somehow.
All those attempts were in vain.
What Aryandor now knows about his older sister, Beatrix, was the worst.
Ophilus, who was trying to turn things into the best, led them to the worst.
“Ugh… … . you guys!”
Ophilus’s body began to shake.
time is twisted
“I’m sorry Aryandor. I wanted you to live a better life.”
It was Ophilus who taught Aryandor the sword.
It was Ophilus who taught Aryandor the magic of time.
Wouldn’t it have been better if you hadn’t told us these things in the first place?
Wouldn’t it have been better if he had told us about his older sister, Beatrix?
It would have been a better situation if he hadn’t killed Serena’s mother and sealed Priscilla.
Or, if I hadn’t killed Robert’s son… … .
Ophilus had a lot of thoughts.
However, you cannot change the past by coming here.
Because the only thing a person can change is the future.
“Don’t say one last word.”
The door swinging open on the side of Ophilus.
The place he goes is a gap in time.
A place where neither space nor time nor anything exist.
If you go there, you can save your life.
But, I couldn’t get out of there.
He had to remain there until the end of his life.
This will definitely be painful.
But I couldn’t die here.
He slowly walked through the gap of time.
As Ophilus was walking there, he turned around and smiled.
“Aryandor, live your life.”
“Ophilus!!!!!!”
So Ophilus disappeared into the chasm of time.
