"Do you wish to synchronize with the Goddess of Fate, Ila?
　Yes
　No


This is the option presented by the RPG Player skill.

(This is ......, are you sure you want to do this ......?

　(This is . Is it really okay to do this?) It brings back bitter memories of the time I synchronized with Lucy and got burned all over my body, even though I couldn't handle fire magic.
　I just barely survived that time, but it was quite a tightrope walk.

　This time, even though I had learned the elementary level of fate magic, my opponent was a goddess.
　I can't even imagine what kind of punishment (penalty) there will be.
　But .......

　I watched the sound of the ice warding magic being broken and the crowd of demons surrounding us.
　There's not much time left for the wards to hold.

"Get ready!
「「「「「「「 Ha! 」」」」」」」
　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what else to do,.......

　You'll be able to get a lot more than that with the help of this site.


"Is your mirror-blindness skill at 100%?
　Yes.
　Yes No

　It is now ......99%.
　Your instructions are very detailed.
　Noah warned me not to overuse the 100% Meikyoushui skill, but .......

　I'll do it here.
　I trust my "RPG Player" skills.
　I took a small, deep breath.

　The scenery in front of me turns gray.
　The noise in my ears disappeared.
　Any emotional ups and downs, like impatience or fear, are gone.

"Clear Mirror" skill--100%.

　This time I grabbed the arm of the goddess of fate and synchronized with her.



I'm not sure what to say.



　Suddenly, Mako grabbed the arm of Esther, the priestess of destiny.

What's wrong ...... with you, Mako?
　I'm sorry.　He could not continue.

　I felt a chill run down my back and I backed away from her.

"Hey, Master .......
　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
　But I'm still trying to crawl towards him.

I'm not sure what to do.
　These words came out of my mouth naturally.
　I don't know why I thought so.
　Instinctively, I felt that I should not approach Makoto.

"Takatsuki Makoto!　What are you doing!
　The priestess of destiny, who had grabbed his arm, was screaming in panic.

　Makoto didn't say a word.

"XXXXXXX......
　No, in a low voice.
　She was muttering something in a quiet voice, almost drowned out by the noise.
　When I tried to listen to it.

(What?)

　For a moment, a seven-colored light covered Makoto's body.

　Before I could blink, the light disappeared.
　The next thing that happened was that before I could figure out what was ...... causing it, the next thing hit me.



　--A crash!



　Something shattered above my head.
　I saw that the Demon Lord Bifrost was using a large scythe to cut through Makoto's warding magic.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

It was moderately strong, but not enough to stop us. Now, what's next, ......?
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to try.

I'm not sure what to make of this.　It's a power I didn't feel until just now. ......
　I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to do.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　I'm sure you've heard of it.

　I, Jonny, and the brave man of the earth, who was watching, could not move.

　--Makoto-san!

　I was about to scream, when I realized.
　I can't speak!

　That wasn't all.
　I can't move my body.

What's going on?
　I panicked and tried to move just my fingertips, but they were stuck as if they were fixed.

　...... No, my fingertips moved slowly.

　It's as if they're buried in the sand, moving slowly.



"Die!　Brave man!
"Cackle, cackle, cackle!
　A few of the fastest of the demons attacked Makoto.
　In the event that you've got a lot of time and energy, you'll be able to make the most of it.

　............ And the attacking demons stopped one after another.

　It was as if they were fixed in midair.

　It was just like me.
　No, it was just like us.
　Neither I, nor Johnny, nor any of the brave men of the earth would open their mouths.
　Not a single one of us made a fuss about this unusual situation.
　The next thing I knew, it was quiet as if the noise that had been so loud had been a lie.

"No, Makoto Takatsuki, ......, don't. Let go of me, not any more. ......
　Only Esther, the priestess of fate, could speak normally near Makoto.

I'm surprised ...... you're not a spirit wizard.
　The demon king Bifrons opened his mouth.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

I've never seen this before. Even I've never seen it before.
　The Demon Lord slowly swung his great scythe.

But that magic has a weakness.
　The next moment, the Demon Lord's slash pierced Makoto's chest.
　Teleportation!
　That's right, the Demon Lord sends his slashes flying without regard to distance!

Makoto!
"Takatsuki Makoto!
　I'm not sure what to do.

"Kafu......
　I'm not sure what to do.

(Makoto-san: ...... That's it!
　(Makoto-san: ) Move!　
　I'm not sure why my body won't move!
　I can't believe I'm doing this!

This was all over too easily. My weapon has a death curse on it. The blade to the heart will kill you for sure. Let's see your true face for the last time.
　At the same time as the Demon Lord's words, Makoto's mask, which had been split in two, came off and fell.
　It seems that the slash from earlier had cut through the mask as well.

　I'm not sure what to say.

You're just an ordinary person. I thought you might have some interesting secret under your mask. Then I'll chop off your head and be done with it. ......



I'm in sync with you.



　Makoto opened his mouth.

What?
　It was the same tone she usually uses when talking to me.

　It was the same tone he usually uses when talking to me.

　Makoto is safe!
　So why does ...... make me so nervous?
　Her voice always calms me down.

I didn't know she could still talk. ....... You're not so bad for a human being.
What?　You mean this?
　He points to his chest, which has a hole in it.
　It was a painful sight to behold, but there was a large, rough gash in it.

I'm not sure what to make of that.
　I'm sure you've heard of it.

"Don't worry, this wound is 'time-stopped'. You can't die.
　She wipes the blood from her mouth and speaks calmly.
　As if it were someone else's problem.

"...... This is ridiculous. No matter how much you try to slow down time, you can't save yourself with that wound.
　The demon king laughed off Makoto's words.
　However, the expression on his face was no longer as relaxed as before.

　Above all, it was Makoto's attitude.
　Even though she's been condemned to death, she's looking around carefree.

What?
　His eyes met mine for a moment.

　For a moment, his eyes met mine, but they passed by as if I didn't exist.
　The depths of Makoto's eyes.
　The depths of her eyes glowed with rainbow colors for a moment, and goosebumps broke out all over my body. 　

It's a great magic, Bifrost.
　Makoto speaks in a calm tone. 　

　It's funny.
　We're supposed to be doomed.
　But I don't see any of that in his tone of voice.



　I'm more afraid of Makoto-san than the Demon Lord right now.

"...... is a miracle borrowed from that man. It's not something you can use over and over again. ...... Why can you talk?　Why don't you die? Are you really human?
　The Demon Lord turned to look at me as if he were looking at something creepy.
　It is true that Makoto, who is making small talk with an apparently fatal wound in his heart, is unusual.

"I've stopped time. I told you so.
"......
　The demon king's eyes widened at Makoto's words.

I'm sure you're right.　There is no such thing as a perfect ...... stop in time. ......
"Well, ......
　Makoto slowly raised his right hand.
　And said.



　--The Spirit of Time.



"Aaahhhh!　No, that's a violation of Article 121 of the God Realm Regulations: ......
　The one who screamed was Esther.
　I'm not sure what to do.

But you can see the same future as me, right?　You can't shake off my hand.
"Yes, but!　Yes, but!　Yes, but!
What are you guys doing ......?
　The Demon Lord is confused by Makoto and Esther's conversation.
　I'm confused too.
　I can't follow their conversation at all.

"Spirit of Time, correct the space-time distortion.
　Makoto slowly pointed to the west.
　What the hell are you doing ......

"What?
　The Demon Lord shouted in surprise.


　--The sun appeared.


　The night sky slowly turns white.
　The sun's light. .......
　I basked in the sun's rays and felt a surge of strength.

"Ma...... koto-san!
　I finally found my voice.
　I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm sure you'll be able to move through the magic of the Time Boundary.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
　There's a big scar on Makoto's chest.
　But my voice was ignored.

　In the meantime, the sun is rising at an unbelievable speed.


　Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa！！！！！！！


　Screams echoed everywhere.
　It was the undead under the Demon Lord.
　The sun's rays are poisonous to them.
　If exposed to sunlight, the undead cannot exist.

"Stop. ！！！！
　The Demon King appeared in front of Makoto-san and sliced off her right arm.

"Makoto-san!
　I'm not sure how many times I've screamed at you, but you never change your expression.

I'm not sure how many times I've screamed, but I don't know how many times I've screamed. It doesn't matter how many times you cut me, it's useless. It's more like they're motivated by the fact that they're hurting the wizards.
　I was rendered speechless when I saw Makoto, who had a hole in his chest and was missing an arm, speak plainly.

You've got to be crazy.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to say.　Your body and mind can't take much more of this!
　Estelle shouts.

"......, yeah, sure ......, looks like it's almost the ...... limit ...... ......
　Makoto's tone suddenly became weak.


　--The sun is just above us.


It's done. I'll release the synchronization.
　Makoto let go of Esther's arm.
　At that moment, blood spurts out of her chest.


　--Makoto slowly collapsed.



"Master!
Makoto-san!
　Momo-chan jumped out faster than I did.
　Her face was a mess of tears.

"Momo ......, the sun's rays are bad for you .......
　To his dismay, Makoto was more worried about Momo-chan than himself.



Master!　No, ......, don't die, please don't die!
　Momo-chan sobbed at Makoto's side.

　Momo-chan sobbed at Makoto's side. Makoto's lifeless eyes looked at me.
　I shuddered.

"Ma......koto......-san?
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. Please .................. me.
　Then, Makoto closed his eyes and stopped moving.

"Master!
　Momo-chan's scream rang out.
　I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to say.
　Esther, who was next to him, immediately used recovery magic on Makoto.
　The blood stopped and the wound slowly healed.

"It's okay!　She's still alive!　I'll take care of Mako!　I'll take care of Makoto. You do your part.
　Estelle's words brought me to my senses.



　--Please defeat the Demon King .......



　Mako's words come back to me.
　Brilliant sunshine is shining down from the sky.

(I have to do it. ......)
　I can't waste this opportunity that Makoto-san has given me, even though he is dying.

　I check my surroundings.
　The demons under his command, including the Demon Lord, are beginning to retreat.

(Because of these guys, Makoto is ......!
　I clutched my sword, which glowed in seven colors.
