253 – 74. GOOD Ending?
***
The scent of roses touches the nose.
A soft touch that you can feel from the part where you put your hair.
“Whoops, perverted wolf-san is also a sleeper.”
How long have I been asleep?
When I open my eyes, I see a smile like a smiling fox.
“… A saint?”
“Yes, you are the only nameless saint!”
A nameless saint.
The pure whiteness that looks like it will break if you touch it is looking at me.
“You slept for too long, so I gave you a place to rest for a while.. Are you comfortable?”
With their white hair flowing down, they could even feel each other’s breath.
“This is… What the hell happened….”
She was looking down at her me, with her head resting in her lap.
A little while ago, I met a drunk Fine and got my lost memories back.
Going on an adventure with a nameless saintess, meeting her companions and subduing the demon lord.
As if I had a long, long dream, the memories I had forgotten came flooding in like waves.
“Okay. Everything may not be God’s arrangement.”
Why did I forget these memories?
“Nice to meet you. That would be too clichéd, right? Knight.”
“……”
A saintess who draws arcs at the corners of her eyes while looking at my face full of doubts.
He kept kneading my cheeks like a child playing a prank.
“Because I have already met you in a dream.”
The moment she tried to raise her body in her apologetic heart, she shook her head from side to side.
“No. Don’t get up.”
Are you deliberately trying to seduce me with beauty?
I grabbed my head with both hands and fixed my posture.
“Well, breathing is a bit dangerous, but…”
The white-haired saint continued her words with flushed cheeks.
If I made the slightest mistake, I would end up buried in the saintess’ chest.
No matter how many times I thought about it, a body like that with that innocent face made no sense.
It’s not even a succubus.
“…… Please rest comfortably in my arms now. Knight.”
She even hiccups, as if she’s ashamed to say it herself.
“Even with such stubbornness, I am a greedy person who wants to monopolize you.”
Even the smallest details were similar to Fine Grancia.
I thought she was sent back to the world line where the princess, Fine, is.
“It’s not like I’m dreaming. Saintess.”
“Do I really need to confirm that it is not a dream?”
Before I knew it, I was having a private meeting with the nameless saint, Fine.
“Sorry. If you had been asleep a little longer, I would have woken you up with a kiss.”
“……”
She makes her wistful expression as she sticks out her own tongue.
There was even a desire to say that it was not a wolf but a fox.
“The memories that the knight gave back to me just now are not dreams, but memories from the previous world.”
“Memories of the previous world..?”
If I resisted, I thought I would be played by her tricks even more, and I listened to her explanation while lying on her lap as it was.
“Yes, the nameless saintess and I subdued the demon lords… This is the story before time was rewinded once.”
Memories before this world began once again.
Although he met the saintess Fine and gathered her companions to subdue the Demon King of Truth.
“The knight wanted my happiness.”
I, who was possessed by Richt’s body at the time, made another wish even though I knew her feelings.
I feel like I would be a liar to be a lover with a saintess in that state.
“More precisely…. It’s ‘Pine Grancia’s Happiness,’ though.”
“Right. Because the conditions were for me to get my memories, my name, my family and friends back… and to be happy.”
I couldn’t do anything for the saintess, so I prayed for her happiness one last time.
I thought that’s how I went back to the original world.
“… Time went back to the beginning because of my wish.”
Everything was twisted because of my empty wish.
The forgotten princess of the Grancia Empire.
She had to go back to her academy to change her fate when everything was taken away by the demon lords.
“Wrong.”
“…… Yes?”
The nameless saint denied what I had inferred.
“Only half of it is correct.”
Only half of it is correct.
Then, what is the correct answer? Is he making a satisfied expression while looking at me like this?
“There’s no way I can be happy without the knight by my side, right?”
“Aha.”
The premise was wrong from the start.
After I returned to my original world, she cried all day and said she missed me.
Like Fine in another world that has fallen into a demon.
“So… I also made a wish to Resett, the god of darkness.”
“Was that possible..?”
Originally, only warriors who have fulfilled their mission should have the right to make a wish. How could she, as a saint,….
Ah, come to think of it, she was well qualified.
“Yes, I found out later.. But I was also a warrior.”
“Dear warrior. Then, it really is true that we wished for two.”
A warrior with a holy sword that shines like glass.
Because she was originally a hero in the prophecy who could defeat all the demon lords of the cult of warriors.
The mystery has now been solved.
Pantoz said that all these divisions are because of the empty wishes of Fine and me.
Did she make a wish to bring me back to this world?
She couldn’t have been able to come here while thinking that she was possessed by a game.
“The thing that called me back to this world… The saintess’s wish….”
“Um… It turned out that way. Actually, I didn’t ask for that.”
Then what kind of wish did you wish for?
“…… And what?”
Once again I let her bewildered face, she smiles and touches my cheek like she’s cute.
“My empty wish is, ‘To be by the side of the knight and always be a source of strength’.”
It would have been nice if you wished to marry me.
Whom did she come to resemble? She was a pure wish who thought of others rather than herself.
The nameless saintess smiles benevolently at me and says.
“Even if the knight returns to reality, I wanted to be a little help.”
“Wouldn’t she have been a bit more greedy?”
“I was greedy..!”
As she watched the black knight get hurt while trying to protect herself, she thought that the saintess was alone.
She can’t even use her divine power well, and even her healing is clumsy. Her biggest greed is.
“Hey, I always kept in mind that the driver was hurt because I was weak, right?”
“I’m sorry I just rolled my body back then..”
He was always by my side giving me strength.
Then what kind of chemical reaction did these two wishes combine?
“Thanks to you, I never dreamed that seeing your face would be so difficult.”
Could it be that I lost my memory and came to the past?
“… Originally, the knight was in a state where his mind was pushed to the limit due to continuous death.”
The saintess gave a sad look as she gently brushed my hair.
“In order to kill the magic hat… the knight kept dying and coming back to life.”
“It’s a side effect of the successor.”
Drake said he looked at me with the eyes of a soon-to-be mortal, or it was the reason I still can’t fall asleep easily at night.
“It was normal to not be able to sleep at night. It was common to wake up screaming.”
She lets out a long sigh.
As I cautiously placed my hand on my forehead, I even checked to see if there were any painful spots where I recalled the memories.
“I enchanted the helmet, hoping you wouldn’t suffer.”
“That’s why I mistook it for possession.”
Originally, it was the saintess’ consideration not to recall painful memories even if I returned to reality.
“… Now it’s all gone. I regret that I became a demon.”
That’s why I misunderstood that it wasn’t transference, but possession.
The Happiness of Fine Grancia.
And for her to be by my side and become her strength.
“These two wishes overlapped, so I was able to come to Grand Hearts Academia.”
Me and Fine should have gone back together.
It may not be a coincidence that I received the beta tester mail, but fate.
‘It’s the same with forgetting previous memories.’
The cost of trying to change fate.
Because the lower gods said that even they couldn’t help against fate.
“It wasn’t a lie to fall in love with the knight, was it?”
“… Really.”
Because, rewinding time, Fine, who went back to when she was at the academy, fell in love with me too.
It is a contradiction like Ouroboros biting its tail.
“It was shocking to see that his original face was better than when he was possessed..”
“That is an undeserved compliment. Saintess.”
She puffs out her cheeks while looking at my face.
“It’s real! I thought I could like you even if I was uglier.. But this is a scam..”
Looking at his slightly red cheeks and the corners of his mouth hanging over his ears, I don’t think he’s talking empty words.
But how is the saintess meeting me now?
The nameless saint is Fine’s future that could have come true.
In other words, she can be said to be a woman from another world.
“…… Holy maiden, I must return to the original world.”
I got up from my seat at the thought of it. She rolls her eyes down like a pity person.
“You in the past thought I was dead.”
“I thought the knight would say that.”
Dragging her feet with her hands behind her back.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her face.
Like Fine, who turned into her demon god, she must have been waiting only for me.
“You don’t have to be impatient. Knight.”
She opened her mouth as she gently touched my cheek.
“Because this is the temple where the God of Light and the God of Darkness are enshrined.”
Looking around, I see a landscape that is divided into two halves like the Taegeuk (太極) pattern.
“It is a place that is not bound by time and space.”
“Like you who turned into a demon… do you intend to possess me?”
I asked her back to her creepy mind.
I wonder if I should take the risk of being captured by Fine in another world line.
“No way. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have sent the knight here.”
“… Then why the hell?”
My worries were overshadowed.
A saintess who expresses her disapproval while shaking her head.
“To complete the Grand Route…. Because you need help from me, Starter’s heir?”
The sublime path where all possibilities become one.
She made it clear that she would need her own help to become her grand route.
“There is still one slot left to go.”
She lifted her heels and met her gaze, as if to kiss her.
“… A saint?”
I got her helmet from somewhere and put it on my head.
The saintess took advantage of the moment when I was taken aback by the ideological helmet that was suddenly put on again.
“This is goodbye. Knight.”
Jjook. She stole my lips like a stray cat while making a slight noise.
Feels like floating in the air.
As soon as she put her lips to hers, her voice started echoing in her head.
[Because meeting me as a child will be the end of this time travel.]
This is the end of the time travel.
Why on earth do I have to meet Fine Grancia when I was young?
If you just return to the original world….
[The Demon King of Truth has not given up yet. Lee Soo-hyun.]
At that moment, the scenery around me changed rapidly and I saw someone’s back.
A black-haired girl who runs away as if being chased by someone.
From Noble mtl dot com
A bloody white dress.
I saw a girl from the Inrang tribe running so far that she was out of breath.
‘…… Blood?’
With her wolf tail and ears, anyone can see that she looks like her childhood.
If only it was before gray hair. No way.
[With the successor’s ability, the demon king resurrected from the past.]
On the floor, you can see hands chasing Fine.
It looks so grotesque that it looks like a sharp tree root.
I know the owner of this hand.
[My childhood, destined to die to him….]
I saw the madman’s face as he grabbed Finene and grinned at her mouth.
Soon, Magic Hat glared at me.
As if I noticed that I could see him.
The moment I tried to stop her from choking her by summoning a demonic sword.
[Save me.]
As my consciousness flashed, it felt like I was being pulled into the dark sea again.
