248 – 7Z.BAD Ending?
***
No matter how much time passes, the rain outside the window doesn’t seem to stop.
A world where even thunder and lightning resonate, and even a bleak atmosphere lingers.
“Licht..”
In the imperial palace left alone, the black-haired Fine Grancia was sobbing.
While hugging a stuffed toy with one face patched up like a burn scar.
[Where are you…?]
She cast a telephonic spell on Lee Soo-hyeon countless times, but no answer came back.
One-sided silence.
Fine couldn’t stand the silence.
“Please don’t leave me..”
A man who does not answer when called.
It reminded me of the moment when I cried out, no matter how desperately, not to die.
Fine is locked in the imperial palace, and she is not moving.
For her, everything in the world has already changed.
Academy without Licht.
Grancia Bakery without Licht.
For her, this place was already like hell.
“What was lacking… I thought I finally met you…”
It’s hard to accept the reality if you don’t blame it with a reason.
Fine Grancia started to find out why Lee Soo-hyun ran away from her.
“Was the exposure of the clothes too weak? I should have prepared delicious food after all..”
Her own reflection in a broken mirror.

With a throbbing chest pain, Fine placed her hand on the center of her chest and opened her mouth.
Could he have been waiting to make her favorite beef stew?
If that’s not the case, it shouldn’t have been handled violently….
“…… No.”
She let out a sigh at the sudden thought.
It’s ugly.
Who would like a woman who sheds bloody tears like this?
Instead of pure white gray hair, her hair was dyed black.
Losing all of his amiable features, there was only jealousy to make him his own.
“But if it’s Licht…”
Fine swallowed the growing tears.
Licht will like himself even after he has changed like this.
I thought that if it was Licht, he would risk everything for himself.
“…….”
I put on premature hopes.
He hopes that he will be able to be happy too.
“Was it all because of my greed..?”
She said biting her lower lip.
There will be no one in the world who will really like you anymore.
Even if she is the empress of the Grancia Empire.
She is the only one who cares about outward things like her wealth and power.
Even after several years, because of her outstanding appearance, a prince from a distant country once proposed to marry her.
“…I thought you could love me no matter how different the world line was.”
She firmly refused.
Because if it wasn’t for Licht, she wouldn’t have to give her the whole world.
Peane looks down at her as she strokes her dog collar he is wearing.
“It wasn’t you..”
She lamented briefly about the future she had not achieved.
She talked to him and she happily went back to the academy.
She wanted to share a sweet candy with her just once.
“Do I have to… Forget you..?”
It feels like my heart is about to explode as the cold, cold thorns dig in.
She spreads her painful feelings about Licht in front of her mirror.
At the time when I was jealous of myself in another world.
“…… Mistress. May I have an audience with you for a moment?”
“Ah.. Yes. Permission.”
With a knock at the door, knights in jet-black armor came and knelt down.
“Imperial Guard Captain Gold. I came because I have a fact that I need to tell you.”
“Silver. Loyalty to the Empress.”
Unlike the past, when armors of different colors were worn, the armor was unified as if honoring the Black Knight.
“The Copper Wolf. Meet the Empress of the Grancia Empire.”
Not one of them was visible.
Iron.
Because he had previously pointed his sword at Licht, and had been stripped of his place in his bodyguard.
Only the SS, which had become three in total, were still following Fine after several years.
“Gold. A fact that needs to be told?”
Fine opened her eyes wide as she saw the sudden arrival of the SS.
It hasn’t been long since I gave the order to find Licht.
“I think you should see it for yourself.”
For what reason did he come to you?
“Licht-sama, surrendered to the Imperial Guard.”
Gold spoke with a disapproving face.
“What, what—?”
Then a man walked slowly behind him.
Black hair like the night sky.
With noble eyes that will never break.
“Hello, Fine.”
“Licht? Why are you here again?”
The black knight, whom she thought she would never see again, stood in front of her on her own feet.
He tried to catch him that way, but he ran away.
Why did you come back?
“I finally made up my mind.”
“……”
Lee Soo-hyun speaks calmly with a light smile on his lips.
As soon as he arrived in front of Fine, he checked to see if there were any scars on his wrists or neck.
He’s worried about himself.
“You guys are all out.”
Noticing the appearance of such a black knight, she immediately ordered her bodyguards to get out of here.
“Now, even if Kynell comes to interfere, you won’t be able to escape. Licht.”
“I know. Blood.”
The one-on-one meeting with Licht that he so much wanted.
Fine was walking towards the man with an ecstatic expression.
***
To be honest, this may just be my greed.
‘I hope she is happy in all of her world’s goodness.’
She wondered if there was anything she could do for her who lost her self and kept wandering.
“Licht. You love me too.”
But, in my original world, there is always Fine waiting for me.
If I start a new life here, on the contrary, Fine on my side will be sad.
“Let’s go back. Blood.”
“Yes, it is going back to those happy days. You call me Mardol….”
She doesn’t listen to me even when I tell her.
A drink similar to a broken glass.
“No, it means to kill me and take my power.”
I had to risk my life to get Fine out of this hell.
The status window that has been open for a while now.
[If you encounter Fine Grancia who has become a demon, pray for her life.]
Well, is praying for help really the answer?
A translucent window that lights up like a flickering red light.
It was a look I had already seen.
[The generous girl may show her mercy to the player [Lee Soo-hyun].]
It’s the same as the one that came out when fighting the demon king.
Pantoz said they couldn’t help me directly because of their wishes.
Then, as always, the opposite might be the answer.
“… What?”
“Because if you have my ability, you will be able to fix the world line.”
Pine’s face turns white when I tell him to kill me.
In the first place, I didn’t want to put the person I loved in front of and listen to what others said.
I am on my own volition.
I had to persuade Fine with sincerity, not lies.
“Because I am the heir who can inherit the soul.”
I have already made a sacrifice at Jishir’s temple.
If you do this, you will be able to save Fine, who has become a demon god.
“Even if I die, the Licht you remember from this side will return.”
“… So, what about you?”
The footsteps of Fine, who has black hair, get louder and louder.
She narrows her brows, bites her lower lip, and makes an angry look at me.
“How are you…?”
Yes, that’s how I remember Fine Grancia.
A glass knight who always took care of me when I overworked myself.
“Even if you are an heir, this life may be your last. I might not be able to come back to life…?”
Fine was bruising me, even shedding her tears.
The story that I can’t be revived because the succession system has already been broken.
So this is the end.
“… Doesn’t care.”
I said while shaking my head.
You can call me a disgusting hypocrite.
I didn’t want to leave even though I knew that Fine was unhappy here.
“Because I already saved Fine on my side. That’s enough.”
He revived the girl who was thought dead by her magic hat.
I didn’t fail this time.
It was also a fluke that I almost returned to her alive in the first place.
It was thanks to the arrangements made by the gods.
“Really..?”
“Yes, I have done all my work.”
Even if I die here, I’m fine.
I wanted Fine’s happiness even at the cost of my life.
A nameless saint.
A princess wearing glass armor.
It didn’t matter if it was a demon with black hair.
“You are also Fine Grancia. You should be happy.”
I forced a smile to keep her from worrying.
Originally, Fine would think I was dead and she would be sad.
“In the first place, I would have been dead without you. Blood.”
“Licht..”
“I can’t do something for the person I love.”
No matter how mean her life was, she was willing to give it up for her sake.
“Pine, my real name is Suhyun Lee. Remember me.”
“…….”
Her red eyes quiver slightly.
It must have noticed that this isn’t a lie.
“Stupid..”
Because Fine always found out that I was lying.
The madness that I was worried about running away seemed to have faded before I knew it.
“Stupid person..”
The rose vine that entangled me slowly disappears, and blood cries while caressing my cheek.
It was the same as I remember her.
Outside the window, the rain gradually stopped, and the gloomy sky lifted and became brighter.
“Me too.. Suhyeon-ah..”
It must be the last time I see this face.
The moment I thought that even Fine, who had become a demon with this, would return to normal.
“I love you. Forever..”
As her jet-black hair fluttered, she stole my lips from her.
An intense kiss that puts her arm around her neck and prevents it from escaping.
It’s not sticky, it’s soggy.
“Howup.. Chueup..”
It was too much to say goodbye.
“Pine, sleep, hold on….”
“Stay a little longer.. I have to scold you for thinking bad things..”
I tried to free her hands from her chains,
As I grabbed the back of her head, Fine began to kiss her lips even more strongly.
No matter how much she wanted me, she held her heels upright and coveted my lips.
“Whoops.. You are always the same.”
How much time had passed while we were kissing each other like that.
It was Fine, who returned to her original soft eyes and smiled at me.
“… Why?”
Why didn’t you kill me?
I still question why my heart wasn’t pulled out.
“Thanks to that stupid dog.. I came to my senses a bit.”
“If you had killed me…. The Licht you remember must have returned…?”
Pine talks while looking at the clear scenery outside the window.
“I hate that. I remember you being here right now.”
I wonder if my remarks were very shocking.
She spoke in a nostalgic tone, and she looked exactly like the Fine I remembered.
“… I’ll give you back some lost memories. Suhyun.”
“Memories?”
“Because you have places to go besides here.”
Fine put her lips lightly on my forehead with a satisfied look on her face.
