“Welcome back, Harold, so that the time of my world is running again.”
In the morning when I wake up, my face burns hot from the early hours of the day when I say words that can be interpreted in many different ways.
“Goddess… please stop teasing me…”
Last night, I couldn’t control my emotions and the relationship that ended until I went again…
Guilt raged on the waves of shame and was about to die.
But I try my best to avoid her eyes, but she asks me with wide eyes as if what is the problem.
“Is there something wrong? I just said it was good that you came back.”
How can I ask such a pure question… I am so ashamed of what happened yesterday…
“Aha~ Maybe… Did you react like that because you remembered what happened last night?”
It turned out that he had only now grasped my thoughts, and he had a hard-headed expression on his face and a slightly evil smile.
“Ummm… it sure was good last night, it’s nice to be able to reconfirm my calmness in your heart.”
As if savoring a memory, he closed his eyes and slowly nodded his head to the point of being a little naive.
“eww….”
“Haha! Got it! Stop it, how can you continue doing something that makes you feel uncomfortable as a woman who loves you? I’m sorry if I offended you.”
Still, he stopped at a suitable line and removed the playful atmosphere.
Wow…!
“Goddess?”
But this time, as soon as the wind blew, he hugged me and buried his face in his arms.
“You may be embarrassed by my words to remind you of yesterday… But, I have to say this…”
The atmosphere suddenly became serious…. Following her, my shame is lifted and I become a little more serious.
“I’m really glad you came back to me…”
What expression is she making now… Compared to before, she has become so solemn and the air feels heavy.
“I’m so glad… that you’re back… I’m so happy I don’t even know how to express this feeling.”
I looked at her silently, unintentionally, the fragrant scent of shampoo in her hair pierces the tip of her nostrils.
“Ummm… I’m the only one who got excited again, I’m sorry…”
As if he had quickly suppressed his feelings, he blushed shyly at the act of hugging me.
The focus of the eyes is the sight of him avoiding my face and coughing, which is impressive, and when he vomits his true feelings, the sense of emptiness and shame afterward, no matter how gods, seemed to be the same as humans.
“it’s okay.”
I comfort her lightly and check her progress so far.
“By the way, Goddess, how is the Academy now?”
Then he shrugged his chin and fell deep in thought, and then immediately informs him of the current situation.
“Right now, the academy is finishing up work related to the denomination, and… Yesterday’s riot caused a commotion in the streets of Morione’s temple.”
The latter was not in the game, but the former was the dialogue that was in the game, and that was the end of the second episode divided into three main stories.
According to the contents of the original game, it would have ended by preventing the resurrection of the Old Gods… Now, as a series of major accidents that were not in development occurred, the results were greatly different.
The me of the past who somehow ended up seeing the end even though I had no knowledge of the game… It was really strange.
When I look back, in moments of crisis, the current rushed and memories from the game came to mind…
Are you saying that no matter how hard you try to stop the memory, you can’t stop the passion you once had in the game?
“……”
Anyway… now the story progress is about 70%… not much left.
“It will be noisy for a while…”
Watching Eleanor continuing to explain for me… I was reminded of it.
“Still, it will be chaotic for the time being, but I think it will be peaceful.”
The main story in the game that is almost finished… There is no solid evidence, but I believe that once I finish the story in the game, I can go back.
To be honest, it wasn’t the first time I thought about it… I’ve been thinking about it ever since I first had favorable feelings for Eleanor.
“We just need to be together, just like we did in the past…”
If… if someday I will return to reality and say goodbye to her forever… Will I be able to walk away from her?
At first, I felt uncomfortable with my twisted obsession, and I wanted to go back as soon as possible…
“I will never let you go again.”
I’ve come too far now… Through many journeys, I have made connections that are as good as the world I was in…
Even if I didn’t have to risk only Eleanor, for now, there were so many girls who looked at me with more emotions than that.
But you just leave them alone and leave forever without any feelings?
“…..”
It didn’t seem like it would be easy.
To be honest, there were times when I thought that I would rather not go back.
However…
“Yeah, that would be nice.”
I reassure her with a false promise that I could never keep, and on the other hand, reaffirm my true purpose.
Yeah… I’m sorry for them… Because there’s something to be responsible for in that world…
There were parents who had no choice but to retire early, and a younger brother who was born late… There were families who had to protect and take responsibility.
I don’t know how the world I live in is going to go on… For my family, the empty place without me must be so fatal…
So you have to go back soon.
If it’s my brother’s personality, he’s probably deceiving his parents and trying to somehow take my place…
“Ugh… forever… with Harold…”
Slowly, I may have to decide the end of my journey.
◆◆◆
“Harold?! Did you really remember your memories?!”
When I went to the hospital where Erina was and told me about my current situation, she greeted me with a happy smile.
There must have been a lot of damage from a really big fight, so there must have been a potential for her to recover, but bandages were wrapped around her body.
Since the recovery series is so convenient and good, is there such a thing as magic or attack to prepare for it?
“Yeah… how should I apologize to you… It’s ironic that my original memories and my memories of being at the academy overlap.”
I felt sorry for the woman who moved for me, and I don’t know when her memories were manipulated, but when she thinks back with her perfect memories, it seems like she caused a lot of trouble to Erina.
“No, no! I’m so glad that you came back! I was so worried when I first woke up from an unfamiliar ceiling! It’s enough just to have it resolved safely!”
I am so excited that I have to say several things at once, so I am a little embarrassed to process the information.
Was she really that talkative in the first place… Well, it must mean that she was that happy.
“Where are the others? They’re probably here…”
Once I told Erina about my current situation, I had to tell the truth to the people I had built up with…
It probably won’t be easy…
How would they feel if they found out that their relationship was actually a completely different person…
“Yeah, he’s in the room next to me.”
Fortunately, it seemed to be nearby.
chin
“yes?”
Just as I was about to hit Erina’s footsteps to go to the others in order not to bother Erina for nothing, but to give her a break… She grabbed my collar.
“Wow?!”
Erina draws me in with overwhelming power and spreads her arms in a welcoming manner.
Wow!
Soon after, I slipped into her arms.
“I’d like to ask you to stay with me… but if you do that, Harold will be in trouble…?”
“……”
She still wanted to monopolize me as much as possible.
But… thinking of me, he was willing to give up his desires.
“I’ll just be satisfied with this… just being able to hold you back without burden…”
He hugged me vigorously once, and then released me from his arms. Unlike the first time, she was trying to be as considerate of me as possible.
“Go now, I want to shout out to you not to meet with my sincerity, but explain it to other women.”
I nod my head and grab the doorknob with a look that even I can’t explain.
◆◆◆
After a brief conversation with Erina, I was able to tell the truth to the people I met at the academy.
Aris, Arsia, and Marika…
“Are you still going to go to the academy? As the principal, I want to help Eun-in in any way if she attends my school…”
First of all, when I went to Arsia and told her my circumstances, she uttered strange words that made me feel a little frightened.
“That’s right… Harold must have been deceived by Goddess Morione…”
I wonder if I should say that Aris is just a normal person… Among them, her personality was the least twisted, so her reaction was just that.
“That doesn’t mean you’re leaving me? Are you going to drop out of the academy? Still, I want you to be by my side…”
Most importantly, Marika… She was afraid that I would go back to my old life and leave her side.
“You promised me something… No matter how much your sins are not erased? At least you don’t have to take responsibility for it?
Personally, Marika seems to have developed an addiction after being immersed in darkness once by Lusria.
In front of other people, she is a majestic princess without change… but to me, she was like a pitiful puppy who desperately clings to her master so as not to be abandoned…
“It’s noisy bitch”
Lusria appears from the corner of the room, glaring at Marika, who is screaming as if pleading with me with dissatisfied eyes.
The pendant that contained her soul seemed to be here.
Marika must have bad memories of Lusria… Who put the pendant here? Wasn’t it that Lusria herself stayed in Marika’s room?
“A promise or something… I want you to stop touching my husband…”
She pushes her away with undesirable glances, but Marika cleanly ignores it as if nothing happened and talks to me.
“Harold… I want you to stay with me…”
“Oh, you saved me, but you don’t know the grace and you stimulate me like this…”
He was so angry that he was ready to run right away.
“Wait a minute… Calm down, Lusria… I’ll apologize for you, please forgive Marika.”
When I try to comfort her, who couldn’t see her for a while, I contorted my face at first, but I sighed reluctantly.
“Huh… My husband said that, so I’ll have to forgive him…”
It seemed that Lusria and Marika would never have a friendly relationship in the future…
◆◆◆
After telling the story to Erina, Marika, Aris, Arsia, and Lusria, there is now only one person left.
A little girl who looks very much like Mir
“Where the hell did Miru go… I heard that he must have stayed here…”
I managed to calm them down and left the room to find Miru, and wandered for a while… but she was nowhere to be seen.
According to Erina’s advice, I must have seen him at this hospital until yesterday…
Where else have you gone…
She was and still is, a very strange child.
What is the true identity of Miru… A question that has been cherished once again awakens.
“Harold.”
Meanwhile, a voice calling me from behind
uh…?
This is… a voice I haven’t heard in a long time, right?
A voice I’ve heard over and over but I haven’t heard well since…
“Long time no see.”
Mir…
A dark-eating dragon that looks like Miru when she only looks at her appearance
“Mir? Why are you all of a sudden?”
A very sudden appearance…
How did you know I was here and come to you… Many questions come flooding in.
“Finally, the time has come… I’ve been waiting so long for you to get your memories back.”
He speaks suspiciously as if he’s seen the entire academy’s journey.
“What…?”
“Everything’s done, the other bitches have found a place where they can’t get in the way… So now you…”
Mir brings out something suspicious and grins wickedly…
Whoops!
Soon the object pierced my heart…
“It’s mine… Forever—”
Her creepy voice was the last to be heard.
