129 – My end is approaching.
I have been feeling peaceful lately.
Although the sky is still flawed by strange phenomena… I was fortunate to have survived without any major accidents.
Mir and Abne fight in a big fight… After a difficult period of being forced to stay at Elena’s temple for a while, I feel relaxed for the first time in a long time.
People who energize themselves to live each day with moderate sunlight that is not too hot and a cool breeze.
Walking down a street that I am not familiar with, but have always passed by and will never change in the future, I feel something quite peaceful.
“Haam…”
Even though I get enough sleep, I find myself yawning a lot in my calm daily life.
Things I’ve been feeling lately… I haven’t had anything to do these days.
When I look back, it seems like there were a lot of really difficult things and incidents that could be called memories.
At first, I just lived a planned life based on developments I knew in advance… But at some point, I completely deviated from what I knew and experienced many confusing events.
Should I say that I have been living quite spontaneously since then? Sometimes, a problem was solved thanks to a series of coincidences.
Maybe that’s why, when I came to my senses, the story’s progress was interrupted due to the deviant development.
Was the academy part the last one that took place?
Moments that were truly unbelievable even when I think about them again… Even though my memories were taken away by Morione, my past self somehow managed to survive as the game progressed.
Anyway, if the academy part is over… The end of the story is now near…
When the game’s story is divided into early, middle, and late parts
The Night of Destruction, the Resurrection of the Ancient Gods, and the Rebellion of Time…
Overcoming two of these hurdles meant that we were slowly heading towards the end.
But she… When she had a few encounters with Tempus, the god of time… She didn’t feel any particularly hostile presence.
Rather, I feel like a helper who gives me useful information…
So at the moment, I was at a loss as to what to do.
The story no longer progresses… What should I do now?…
Honestly, it felt like it didn’t exist anymore… The original goal of going back in the first place lost its meaning, and I couldn’t think of anything I needed to do anymore.
Yura also wants to stay here… To be honest, I don’t even know what I really want right now, so even when I go out on the streets these days, I just wander around.
I spent my daily life as if I really became a person here now… The only thing I had to worry about was meeting people I knew and what to do with my time.
“And now that I see it, I don’t think I’ve seen Miru lately…”
That day… I felt like I had never seen her since I met her under her magnificent orange sky.
When I went back under the huge tree, Miru did not exist…
“…….”
Only the unknown pendant that I was holding in my hand was left.
It is presumed to be Miru’s… Where has this pendant disappeared to, leaving behind a note saying ‘I hope you succeed, Dad…’…
Her Morione They say you can’t feel her even if you ask her goddess…

Could it be… That they have returned to where they came from?
Miru calls herself my future daughter… But has she returned to her own time?
Then what is the situation there…?
The question that suddenly arose grew bigger and bigger, and once I thought about it, as if I had opened a Pandora box that I was told not to open, I became very concerned.
So… I’m looking for someone who might know the ending to this question.
“…….”
When I press the transfer device given to me by Miru, Sia quickly changes, and soon the image of a woman with a library made up of numerous books is reflected in her eyes.
“You’re here, kid. I’ve been waiting for you.”
The god of time smiles leisurely, as if he vaguely knew I would come…
“I came because I wanted to ask you something.”
I sat down to meet her and looked at her face. Tempus also looked at me from time to time to look at her book when we were talking, as if she had something important to talk about, but now, as soon as I sat down, she put down the teacup and book she was drinking. .
“……”
He listens to me silently, as if it would be a waste to even say the introduction, even if it takes just a little bit of time.
“Procrastination… Where is she?”
When I asked the question with the answer I wanted to get as briefly as possible, Tempus showed a serious expression for the first time…
I feel nervous without realizing it.
“Miru…. From what you say, it seems like he has probably disappeared from the world.”
Huh…?
I sensed something strange in the way he spoke as if he didn’t know…
“You said you sent Miru… Then you weren’t the one who sent it back?”
“Well… The former is correct, but I’m not sure about the latter.”
What… Then what happened to Miru’s whereabouts…?
My anxiety is growing… What if something happens while I’m not looking?
“I don’t know the kid’s whereabouts, but… I think he went where he wanted to go?”
Is she where she wanted to be…? What does that mean…
As my anxiety grew further due to her completely incomprehensible words… She began to soothe me.
“But there’s no need to make that face. I didn’t mean it with any strange meaning… It definitely won’t be a negative situation like he’s dead.”
Hearing those words, my increasingly frustrated heart suddenly cooled, and relief came to me… But the question of what happened to Miru and where she is is instead piled on the veil.
“What do you mean…?”
Then, he suddenly looks blankly into space and continues with a somewhat mysterious explanation.
“It’s a difficult thing to explain, because I don’t know it completely either. But I guarantee you, Miri will definitely go where she wants to go.”
“If I had to add… It could be where she originally was… Or it could have been in the past. I’m sure she left with peace of mind in the improved future, knowing that her work was done.＜ /B＞”
“That means you are well on your way… The future is getting closer and closer.”
She smiles with satisfaction and takes just one sip of black tea.
Words that seem like you know something but you miss it… If you change your mind and understand it…
“For now, Mir isn’t around at this time, right? She goes to wherever she wants to be…”
“I guess so.”
I was able to grasp the clues, but the core of my heart was still piled up due to the truth that could not be completely debunked…
“Are you done with what you had to say? Now let me say what I want to say.”
She can’t be said to have come to a clean conclusion, but since she has no more information to gain, she hands over control of the conversation to her.
“Child, do you know why the gods are placed in the temple?”
Tempus brings out things you never thought about until now.
“Do you know why you stay in this cramped temple forever even though you have the power to conquer this vast world?”
It’s a bit unexpected, but let me answer… I already knew the answer to this question.
“If I stay outside the assigned temple, will my strength weaken?”
This is the setting in the game… I knew that the gods were taking care of mortals by setting one rule and restricting themselves.
“So that’s the reason, why the gods decided to do such a troublesome thing.”
“To take care of lower species like us.”
She answered her series of questions without hesitation, but…
“Wrong.”
What came back was denial…
“What…?”
“That’s also a story adapted by the gods… All divine beings inevitably suffer the same injustice. What you told is a false story.
“In fact, it was just created so that mortals could not oppose it from an unseen place… Like it or not, gods like me become infinitely weaker when they leave the designated temple.
What I knew wasn’t the truth…?
He casually spits out the shocking truth…
Then, for what reason are the gods subject to such restrictions and are they semi-forcibly confined?
“Then why are we being restricted like that…?”
“As I said last time, the world tries to be as fair as possible… Just as a hero like Erina is born every now and then… The gods, who were free in ancient times, ended up having a reason as they continued to exercise power.”
After taking another sip of black tea, Tempus reveals a truth that was not known even in the game…
“The logic is that they prohibit activities outside of temples assigned by agreement. If this is violated except in unavoidable circumstances, the power of the precedent is lost… With the creation of such rules, the current system It has come true.”
“A power that grows infinitely stronger depending on the strength of one’s birth and the concentration of one’s mind… Now that concepts and perceptions have changed, this kind of restraint has become natural, but at the time, it was a huge disaster for us.”
Tempus bursts out laughing and immediately Gets up from his seat and starts walking
It was the first time… The sight of her standing upright…
You could say this is a big deal… But from the moment she woke up, I felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort in her appearance.
“The same goes for me… As the gods’ actions have become more suggestive, they have less opportunities to meet each other… Now, it has become almost impossible for the gods to die.”
The god of time, crossing his arms over a bridge and looking down a tower with no end in sight…
“It is only possible for a god to truly die in the case of obvious murder… And for that, an equal god or a being with comparable power is needed.”
“That’s why I couldn’t die until now, it was painful.”
Then a suspicious atmosphere begins to appear that cannot be expressed in words…
“The eternity of loneliness spent in a place where there was no life around… And the rest that clearly exists beyond death, I always wanted to face death.”
The flow is becoming increasingly strange… Something… Something dangerous…!
“However, I am a body that is almost impossible to die due to the laws of the world, So now I am trying to destroy those laws.”
As she looked back at me and opened her hands, her unique miracle gradually took shape, the double-edged sword of time.
“Enough… So that I can rest after a long time…”
And from her embrace, he took out her white mask and covered his face… And continued to pronounce in a calm voice.
“Child, a disaster is about to happen. You’d better be well prepared.”
The weapon held in her right hand and the familiar mask covering her face…
As soon as I saw that figure, I felt like I knew what she meant by disaster.
“The biggest challenge that will come in your life… But even though it is difficult, I know that you will overcome it.”
Then white smoke bloomed in her left hand… I still have a lot to say, but I’m sending her back…!
“Still, if you think too lightly, your fate may change, so struggle as much as you can.”
“Wait Tempus?!!”
I tried to stop him somehow, but he sent it back as usual.
“It will take a lot of time for me to find and break down the concept, so you should have some free time right now, so be fully prepared.”
“When the reins are loose When the gods try to kill each other, Order is disrupted and it is truly a world of the fittest of the fittest.
Leaving harmless hostility and sincere advice… His vision is gradually becoming obscured…
“For your information, I will never look after you, even for the sake of your future, Because only seeds that endure the winter can bloom beautiful flowers.”
This time, she tried to run towards her to somehow resist, but…
“It’s goodbye for the time being, and after this, it will be our last reunion.”
“Be safe.”
A suspicious smile with unknown meaning is last seen, and in the end, pure white lights completely cover the eyes…
“And this time… Be cruel enough to kill me.”
” ㅡㅡㅡ?!”
When I came to my senses, it was the same street as before.
“I’m in big trouble…”
Looking at this situation… Something bad was coming…
“We have to tell everyone…!”
The final gateway to the ending in the game…
Just as I was about to feel peace for a very short period of time, an ordeal was predicted…
“Why did it happen so suddenly?!”
The rebellion of time was approaching…
