You scam artist! Ho Ho! Cool! Sysconn! Pervert! Human scum! Enemies! Or rather, enemies of humanity! Indecisiveness! It's a horrible thing to do when you just let them expect it and then leave them alone! You talk like a man! You suck! Honestly, it's just annoying to be alive! All around me, I mean, how hard I worked to clean up afterwards! You're not worthy! Don't run to the girls every time you lose! Gutless! You keep losing at the most important part! You loser--!
'Uh, yeah, okay! Enough said! If you understand, it's time to end it: ......

 Christ turns pale at the excessive abuse and tries to surrender.
 But Mr. Tiara, even if the enemy tries to surrender, does not condone any of it.

''d*mn it, Master! I'll tell you all about it for the last time! Master should focus more on one person to aim at! I'm not going this way or that way!
'Well, then, since people are gathering, let's go to ...... and at least change the location!

 Christ saw the reaction of those around him and urged them to move on.
 Now the excitement of the audience was at an all-time high. They were listening very curiously to the scandal of the heroes and talking in secret with their acquaintances. Listening to Tiara's revelations, it is easy to imagine what is whispered about behind the scenes.

 I mean, things like "I knew it was as they say ......" and "Wow, that sucks" are leaking out of the audience. I can see Christ's reputation falling at a tremendous rate and the credibility of the original rumors growing.

 And I can understand Christ's desire to leave.
 I understand, but I can't allow myself to run away from the girl who is now talking in front of me, just before she disappears. Secretly, I watch their conversation with a smile while blocking Christ's retreat.

'Master! At this point in time, you're going to have to worry about what people think of you! That's why we've been failing in so many important areas for a thousand years!
'No, it's ...... but if it keeps going, my reputation will be ....... Now the Snow guy is definitely listening to me and ....... It's not good any more ......! Seriously bad in every sense of the word: ......!
What matters is what you're doing now, Rustyala! If you run away here, I'll punch you in the face!
Okay, okay! Okay, but let's keep the magic out! Without!

 Christ was frightened by Mr. Tiara, who showed his wariness, and retreated to Las Tiara, who seemed to be on his side.

 And it looked like he was about to sit upright at any moment.
 You can see that he is completely consumed by the momentum of the conversation.

 Satisfied that he had overwhelmed Christ, Mr. Tiara stopped his continuous cursing and hit the conclusion of the conversation.

'Anyway, I don't like my mentor! Because this man is a womanizer and an a**h*le! I'm not the opposite s*x! All there is is just a little bit of respect as a teacher!

 And Christ and Rustyala were shocked alongside each other.

 Both of them were all over the place in their expressions. The two of them are outstanding in level and ability and are somehow terrifying, but in terms of spirit, they are not much of a big deal. Especially when it comes to the romantic aspect, it has been confirmed before that they are at a level that goes beyond childishness.

 The two are stunned by Tiara's declaration. It was Rath Tiara who got back on her feet first.
 He tries to encourage Christ to somehow overturn the board.

'Ka, Kanami, don't believe ......! It's a lie, a lie. I'm sure Lady Tiara is just trying to step aside for me: ......!
'Is that so ......? I'd like to think that that was a lie ......, but it doesn't look like Tiara is lying .......
'Confidence! Kanami is so cool! Lady Tiara must be in love with it: ......! Ta, maybe ......
"What's the matter, ......, are you less confident than you were in the beginning?
"Because ...... is a terrible place to be and ......
'Oh, oh ....... That's terrible. ......

 They were trying to shake off Tiara's words, but eventually they were swallowed up and paralyzed.

 From the way they look at it, you can tell that they sincerely believe Tiara-san's story.
 They both have not only an 'eye' for status, but also an excellent eye for observation. It's probably because of their power that they have been able to see through the fact that there are no lies.

 Tiara's story had the power of persuasion that made me think "Ah, I knew it was ......".

 However, the no-good masters who are all hanging out together are also people who have overcome a number of shoulds.
 They immediately kept their minds strong and said "No, we don't know yet" or "Maybe we're just being tricked by some skills" and tried to support each other.

 Seeing their footsteps, I take a step forward, swearing.

'Tch, you still don't get it: ......!

 In an attempt to reinforce Tiara's story, I'm going to try to add to what I know of the female history of Christ in this era.
 I'm not worried about the number of people I'm going to reinforce just by looking at the Christ party, including Rastiara there.
 Even I can keep them there enough to keep them there.

 But Tiara-san stops me from doing that.

'No, Ryner, I'll still take care of it. You're still the oldest of the bunch. Even if your opponent is a master, he knows how to stuff you. Watch closely.

 Then he gives a toothy grin with the eyes of a hunter hunting down his prey.
 I was a little uneasy when I started talking about my past, but I'm sure that Tiara is now trying to beat Christ and the others to the punch.

 I realize that she's continuing her practice from yesterday, that if she can't do it by force, she'll use words to win - and I take a step back.

'Come on, I'll prove it to you now. I don't like my master, and he likes you, Rusu-chan. I'm going to teach you that perfectly--!

 Tiara packs up.
 She speaks slowly, brutally and gently, to put a stop to the two people who are wavering in their minds.

'Listen to me, Master. As you can hear, I know a lot about my master from a thousand years ago. Of course, it's not just about Master, but also a lot of other things. Unlike Master who was beaten by Apostle Legacy, I was undefeated in my life, I lived a thousand years ago, I lived a thousand years longer. To be honest, I'm one step ahead of you to the 'deepest' part of the labyrinth, you know?

 Very easily, he tells us that he is accomplishing the greatest longing of the Confederacy.
 And it is also Christ's longest wish.

'Nah--'

 Christ, who was aiming for the 'deepest' part of the labyrinth, cannot hide his surprise, and it seems as if everything he has just said has been blown away.

'I was the victor a thousand years ago, and I'm accomplishing everyone's long-cherished desire before anyone else. I've even prepared a new 'way to make the world peaceful' that the Sis sister wanted. I've also developed a new 'magic to make everyone happy'.

 Leaving Christ behind, Tiara-san scattered new facts one after another.

''Sister Yotaki is still sleeping, right? I know how to wake up Sister Yotaki. On the contrary, I know more about the identity of that 'disease' than my master. I'm finally convinced of it in The Deepest.

 Whether it's a lie or true - I don't know, but he says that he has the power to solve everything.
 It wasn't something that could be believed so easily, but because she was the legendary Tiara who lived through a thousand years ago, she had the right to say it. There was a sense of truth to it.

''If you let me, who's on the verge of disappearing now, live, you'll be able to learn all sorts of useful things like that! Oh, but if you want to hear the details, you'll have to sacrifice Rustyala-chan! None of these things are simple enough to talk about in a snap.

 Tiara has only a few minutes left in her life now.
 Christ understands this with his dimensional magic, the Dimension.

"So now, choose who you want to survive here and now, 'Rastiara-chan' or 'I' - who do you want to survive?

 We are forced to choose between two choices in a way that is too forceful.
 Those two choices aren't just about choosing who you prefer.

I mean, 'someone you like' - or 'all the other solutions'. It's a very obvious and easy choice, right?

 He put as much on the balance as he could, and Tiara laughed casually.

 Christ exclaimed at that.
 But the answer to that question was quick. It was really quick.
 There wasn't a single wrinkle between his eyebrows, and there was no hesitation at all.

'- Oh, an easy choice. That's the only thing I won't mistake. I will never make a mistake again.

 As Mr. Tiara said, he says it's clear and easy to understand and that there's no way to make a mistake - he says the answer to a difficult question.

'I choose 'Las Tiaras'. I don't choose 'Tiara'.

 He calls out the name of the person to be protected in line next to him, not the relative Tiara-san.
 The person who heard that is blamed while shaking his head.

''Kanami!

 But Christ will not be swayed.
 He made the choice with a strong will - so he goes on to say that he will not be overturned or regretted.

'I will never abandon Rastiara. I wouldn't give up so easily on everything else just because it's ......, though.

 Then he turned to Tiara and gave her the same smile.
 The two of them were facing each other with a smile as if they were looking in a mirror. It's a mirror match that shows that they share the same feelings, the same will, and are on the same path.

 Having shared their feelings, Tiara-san showed a look of relief.

''Huh, hmph. You've really come to say it. You're arrogant! I've really changed--

 Tiara received the answers she wanted and everything was supposed to be on schedule, but she was also a little sad. It was as if she had walked the same path with him, but decided to forego the backing of her friend who was going to go ahead alone. ......

 But now that the feeling is not suitable, he cried out, painting his loneliness with an even bigger smile.

"That's what I'm talking about, Master! Nowadays, we're a thousand years too late to sacrifice our loved ones to protect the world! Protect your loved ones, protect your loved ones, protect your family and friends, and on top of that, protect the world! This is the supreme happy ending!

 He ends his own declaration of victory at the same time, appealing to Lastiara's earlier claim that it is a 'happy ending'.

 Having lost an ally, Rastiara confirms to the Christ next to him as he clings to him.

'Ka, kanami......, seriously......?'
I'm serious. I really like you and I have no doubts about that.

 There is no more moment's hesitation.
 Las Tiara bites her lip sadly at the immediate answer without even thinking about it. Then, she speaks to Tiara-san next.

''So, are you really sure you're okay with this ......? How can you just laugh and stay at ......?
'It's funny. Because the only thing I want from my master is 'to be a master'. I'm happy that my proud master has become a really strong master. ...... Finally, I can really believe that I was able to repay him for that time. I've said it many times, but the only person here who likes my master is Rustyala-chan! I died a great death before I was born, you know?

 This one also answered immediately without a moment's hesitation.

'Wow, I only like ......?'

 The words are finally repeated by Rustyala.
 He chews on the words that have been repeated all along.

 Little by little she understands that it is not a lie but the truth. Her expression changes dizzyingly.

 From a sad face to a troubled face. I went from a troubled face to a mysterious face. I went from a strange face to a happy face. From a happy face to an embarrassed face - that wonderfully well-prepared face is twisted languidly over and over again to arrive at an answer.

''-- ah, ah (...)

 I didn't shake my head anymore.
 The insanity of his body fizzled out without accepting it and denying "no".

 And finally, he looks his age.

 Young and innocent, young and untruthful, young and hot and romantic feelings were lit.
 The color comes on the cheeks that were pure white. The hot blood circulates as if it were expressing Rastiara's current emotions, and it gradually turns red. It's not a matter of time before you get a chance to see it.

"Aaaaah ......, aaaaah, aaaaahhhhh--!

 She opened her mouth with an ache and began to writhe in agony, shaking her long blonde hair out of her mouth.
 His face looks so hot that it seems as if it might be steamy, and in just a few seconds, it has turned bright red.

 I can tell that the romantic feelings I've been suppressing until today have swelled to the surface many times over.
 His embarrassment must have reached its peak as he was confronted with the truth that he had been turning away from for so long.

 Seeing this sudden change, Christ, just a few feet away, approaches him with concern, but

'Rastiara, the great height--why are you slashing at me!
Hey, don't look at me--!

 Rustyala swings the sword in his hand to chase it away and begins to threaten it like a hooting cat. With a bright red face.

 To be honest, that overreaction is not like Rustyala. This is the first time I've seen her get so excited and lose herself.

 But this is how she should originally react.
 It's an emotion appropriate for a person of a single mental age.
 Laughing grimly, taking a step back and cheering on the girls around her - that's not too childlike.
 This is the true heart that was lurking in Rastiara's mind.

 Oh, it's finally here. Suck it up.
 I dragged the woman who had been looking down at the world like it was a story into that story. I pushed her back, crushed her escape, and managed to drive her offstage to the center of the stage.

 And, of course, our hero speaks to the heroine in the center of the stage.

It's ...... disgusting. I like you so much that I'm sure I'll continue to watch you until I die even if you hate me.

 Ummmmm .......
 I'm not sure about that, but it is a line of dialogue.
 Do you realize that you are saying the same thing as Christ's bitter dragon man and former slave woman? Moreover, it's an even worse line when uttered by Christ, who can use dimensional magic 《Dimension》.

 However, the heavy words are extraordinary, and Rustyala writhes even more, and her face becomes redder and redder to all intents and purposes. She shakes her head from side to side and shakes her long hair.

''Ugh, ah! Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh--!

 With a cry that could be taken as either rapture or despair, I tried to run away from Christ with the agility of a cat.

 Unlike me, who took it in a stalker sense, this one seems to have taken it straight in a romantic sense. He just seems to be embarrassed.

 But there's no escape in a place where the audience cheers for my confession.
 Rastiara compared me and Tiara-san, whom she knew, and immediately chose Tiara-san and hugged her body.

 Now I would have a very sadistic smile on my face. If you compare that to Tiara's compassionate, motherly figure, anyone would choose her. It's natural.

 And we're all here.
 A lot of things happened - a lot of things really happened, but now we're back to the planned ending.

 The Jewelculus that we need for the ceremony now are all here. With Tiara-san's brilliant storytelling skills, Las Tiaras spontaneously fell into our hands.

 Tiara-san gently whispered while stroking Lastiara's head as she hugged him.

''Hmph. It seems that Rastiara is the only one that Master likes, too. That's good ....... It's a double entendre, okay?''
'Uh-uh! Ahhhh--!

 Rastiara buries her face in Tiara-san's chest to hide and groans. I know they don't want you to see their shameful, red-tinted faces, but it's a horrible sight, too.

 Looking at the mental age, there's no mistaking it, but looking at the height difference between the two of them now - it looks as if a large adult is spoiling the girl.

 And although Rastiara is in close proximity, she doesn't pretend to try to absorb Tiara-san with her fresh blood magic 《Tiara Fuzzyards》.

 It's probably because there's no more reason to do so.
 Since he was working with Tiara-san's love interest as a reason, if that was gone, there was no reason to force her to 're-birth'.

 Rather, it may not be the case now.
 He didn't have time to worry that his pathetic appearance was being seen by the citizens of Hoosiers, and he just continued to groan in embarrassment, writhing and groaning with emotions he couldn't process.

 Ms. Tiara stroked the rascal sufficiently and turned her face to Christ.

''Whew. Is this all over now? Master's going to be ok? Well, you can slowly remember what happened a thousand years ago. But if you do remember everything, then--

 And then he leaves a parting word.
 It's like a prophecy--and it's like a prophecy.

Then you'll have to love little Rustyala, mother and daughter together.

 Tiara called the girl in her chest her daughter and wished that she could love her.
 Christ nodded back at her mother's affectionate wish.

 Promises were made, and immediately Tiara-san exclaimed with a serious expression on her face.

''Ryner-chan! I'm sorry to go back on my word, but I'm going to give my daughter all of my strength and all of my feelings! Now I can do that "affinity" thing with my daughter! So, change of plans!

 I declare that I'm going to change Rastiala, not me, into an heir.

 Is "Affinity" now ......? No, I'm not complaining.
 Now that I've been persuaded, Rustyala will not resist.
 Through the twists and turns, we have arrived at our ideal ideal.
 Christ's appearance was not in vain.

'Never mind! I've had enough of you! Originally, that's the best way to end it!

 I agree.
 At the same time, Tiara works on the Rastiara's blood in her arms and resumes the magic of 'Rebirth'.

 Their magical power mixes and emits a white light.
 Now, the world's highest sacred magic resonates with the 'Magic Stone Line (Line)' of the 'Eleventh Crossroads' and is activated on a maximum scale.

 The 'chanting' for it is called by Tiara.
 In order to make the light shine more brightly so that all who see it can understand it, she says it as her heart says it--.

We will now begin the end of the Rebirth ritual...
 My name is Saint Tiara Fuzzyards! The prophecy of the millennium is hereby fulfilled! I will be reborn for the founder, and I will die for the founder! My Hoosiers! Watch this ritual! You can burn it into your eyes! This is what Levantineism is all about! Receive this divine light!
 After all, this is what God's teachings are all about! But this is what the world is all about!
 Now, the engagement of the progenitor Kanami and his daughter Rustyala takes place!
 Both of you swear by the commandments of Levant that I have risked my life to establish! It doesn't matter if there's a little bit of overlap or not! An engagement is an engagement!
 Because--! "Oh, the world is great in love! Love is the very meaning of life. "Anyone who stands in the way of man's love is going to die! 
 In the name of a Levantine saint, bless them both for the future--!

 It was a mess at the end when it seemed to begin with a strict statement. But I can see that the messed up 'chanting' is more of an aid to the real magic.

 There is no meaning to the decorated words.
 Only words from the bottom of your heart make the magic stronger.
 It is the true 'chanting' - the true 'magic'.

 The light that proves that truth fills the air.

''-- Sacred Magic, 'Revive'!

 Tiara declares her magic name.

 And then the light explodes.
 The light emitted from the bodies of the two 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' expands. It dances with light scales and is clothed in a light rainbow color, dazzling like a stab to the eye - it spreads everywhere.

 I am surrounded by infinite light.
 I can't keep my eyes open.
 I can't even see the two people who are behind the light.

 This light is the sacred magic 《Revive》.
 I thought that no one could stop it anymore.
 I'm relieved that this is the end--.

 --then a voice is heard.

 A very casual voice comes from behind the light.

''Well then, Rainer-chan. I've asked you to do a lot of things for me, like after this and for your sister Yotaki. So, deactivate your skills...

 At this mountainside, Tiara-san unleashes an unexpected word.
 Disarming the skill--that is, she confesses that she was trying to do some kind of skill on me.

''--Huh?''

 I am taken aback and let out a voice.
 And then a 'certain discomfort' that had been fooled by the skill all along comes up.

 I don't know what kind of skill it was. I can't even realize what I was being fooled by. But I do know that Tiara-san was gaining my trust through the power of that skill.

 At the same time, a distorted noise mixed in my head.
 It was a sound like Zaza--and chewing sand.

 I can see a certain scene along with that weird sound.
 That's when I finally realized that I'm a target of the sacred magic of Revive.

 That magic causes it to be tapped into my "blood".
 It's memory.
 Tiara's past enters me.

 --an old, desolate castle -- cold stone walls and a stone floor -- I don't even know when or where. --In a certain castle, in a certain room, there was a girl with silver hair - I understand in my gut that it was Tiara before she died. -- next to that tiara, there was a dark-haired brother and sister -- I could tell who they were by looking at their faces -- I'm sure it was the Christ of a thousand years ago and his sister. -- the three of them were laughing together -- and they had made a promise -- and that promise was --

 --the ringing in my ears like a sandstorm.

 It was impossible for my processing power to swallow a chunk of a lifetime of condensation.
 The pain, like a needle prick, assaults my brain.

 But even as I close my eyes to escape, the light doesn't go away.
 The memory continues to be reflected in the pure white world behind my eyelids.
 Countless afterimages are superimposed on the back of his eyelids, and the images of the founder and the saints from a thousand years ago continue to be reflected on the back of his eyelids.

 Stories like the Starry Sky" continues to be reflected behind the eyelids.
 It is impossible to understand all of it now. There is too much information flowing too fast, and it's all I can do not to burn out my brain.

 But somehow I can pick up the pieces.
 As I was piecing those pieces together, I thought to myself.

 --the story is too different (・・・・・・・).

 I exclaim.
 I head into the light and try to keep Tiara-san from disappearing.

'This is -- oh, hey! Wait, Tiara, please explain--!
'Sorry, Reiner. That's what I meant (・・・・・・・・・). Just keep watching.

 But they tell me to shut up and watch.

 Indeed, if we dig up the story here, Lastiara, who had surrendered so hard, would come up for air and rebel.

 But that doesn't mean we can't overlook what we just saw. If the memories I just saw are true, then the premise will be reversed. Every meaning will be reversed.

 Everything was wrong.
 I can see that I was conspired against by Tiara.

 But at the same time, I also know that I was the only one (・・・・) that Tiara believed in (・・・・).

"-Yes, I believe in her. So, please.

 After reading my thoughts, Tiara-san was unapologetically pestering me.

 I know why Tiara-san showed her memories to me alone - I know.
 I'm the only one who can be trusted anymore.

 After more than a thousand years, I finally found only one person to help me. That person was me.

 As per Tiara's original plan, I gave my power and thoughts to Rastiara.
 And he leaves only his memories to me.

 The power to overcome the fate is given to Rastiara, and the responsibility is given to me.
 It's really a joke of a favoritism, but I had to nod my head.

''You can do it ......, just do it!

 A few days ago, I made a promise.
 In return for my training, I promised to fight Christ and his sister if they took a wrong turn.

 Even if I now hear that my sister is a monster beyond my imagination, I will not change my promise.

 Tiara-san seemed satisfied with my response, and I thought I heard a small "thank you" from behind the light.

 There was no point in complaining to Tiara-san anymore.
 I'll help make sure the ritual succeeds.

'Las Tiara! Now the truth about Mr. Tiara will enter you! Compare and contrast again! Your own feelings!

 Tiara's goal is to get Rustyala to admit his thoughts.
 All the preparations for that have been made.

 All that's left is for all of us to push Lastiara's back.

 The two "Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)" are surrounded by magical light, and a snow of magic power (Tear-Ray) falls from the sky in a flurry.
 In the midst of it, Rath Tiara remains with a bright red face and is confused by Tiara-san's thoughts pouring into her 'blood'.

'Ah, ah, ah ....... It's not a lie ......, it's ....... Tiara-sama's thoughts reach ...... ....... Did Tiara-sama really just adore Kanami like a parent ......? Ahhhh, ahhhh--!

 Probably because the wall that was between the two of them was gone, Tiara-san and the example 'affinity'.
 With the earlier confession, their lives finally overlapped correctly.

 And then, overlaid with her thoughts, he understands his own mistakes.

'I liked Kanami, I ......? I was the only one ......? All of those thoughts came from me: ......?

 Amazingly (・・・・・), I really convinced Rustyala in just a few seconds.
 Tiara responds by patting her daughter's head.

'That's what I meant. I never wanted to see my master again. If I did want it, it would only be the happiness of my beloved my daughters ......? Be happy ....... Now, it's up to you to do the rest: ......

 And so, entrusted with his thoughts and wishes, Rustyala is--

"Uh-huh! Sorry, mom: ......! I'll live: ......! I like Kanami so much that I can't give your mother a body at ......! I'd choose me, not your mother! I'll do everything I can to make me happy!

 Rastiara tried to keep Tiara's will and vowed to make herself happy by raising her voice.
 She replied to all of Foozeyers' ties, saying that the body of that 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelculus)' was not someone else's, but Lastiara's own.

 Tiara was satisfied with that ending, and her hands stopped stroking Rastiara. And gradually, the strength is lost from her body.

 Through the ritual, everything is passed on into Rastiara. Light converges, magic power condenses, and the soul moves from body to body - naturally, that means the cessation of Tiara's body.

 The parting words are snatched away and disappear.

''Nahis, Rasu-chan ....... Now, I'm already anshin ....... It, then--a-ne--.......
Okay, goodbye! Mother!

 Rastiara's parting words were filled with life and played in the light.

 At the same time, Tiara's body completely stopped moving.
 The light and magic were exhausted, her breathing and blood pulsing stopped, and she was truly empty.

 She finished her role as Tiara Fuzzyards and disappeared from the world.

 I couldn't complain back to that strangely irritating master anymore.
 For me, this is the last goodbye now, too.

 With Tiara's disappearance, the ritual was complete.
 The enormous light and magic power disappeared into Las Tiara, and all that remained was a faint tiara ray dancing around.

 The spectators who were watching around us were unusually quiet.
 Neither I nor Christ could say anything.

 Only Rustyala, the only one in the center, took a deep breath and let out a voice.

'Oh, I'm glad this big feeling of love inside me was mine ....... It was all mine, all of it, ....... Now I can finally say with confidence that I love Kanami. I can confess that I'm the only one responsible for it. Thank you, Tiara-sama: ......

 He threw a thank-you note to the sky as he chased after Tearray as he rose into the sky.
 His face was as clear as if a possession had fallen from him, and he looked confident that there would be no more fighting or squabbling.

 I unleashed my battle stance, put my sword back in its scabbard, and breathed heavily as well.

'Yeah, it was your feelings. All of it. ...... haha, it's finally over. It was a real pain in the ass .......

 We talk about the end.
 And then we ponder how to break up.

 How to get out of the circle of spectators, how to deal with Feydert and Emily, and many other things to do. I can't wait to get all of that done and be alone.

 I have to leave quickly and be alone and read the memories of that lying woman - Tiara-san.
 If I don't sort out the information that was drilled into my head earlier, what Tiara-san left behind will be in vain.

 I lightly rummage through the new group of memories in my head, while gazing at Rastiara's body. After going through this ritual, both I and Rastiara will have become stronger.
 Without a doubt, Rustyala's numerical skills - especially his 'qualities' - should have grown. And I've been trained in the non-numeric aspect - the 'numbers that don't appear in numbers'.

 Truly, Tiara-san was a maverick, but I can't help but feel indebted to her. In order to repay that debt, I moved to finish the post-processing of this ceremony as soon as possible--

Don't move yet, Liner.

 However, I'm stopped by Rath Tiara.
 Tiara-san's strengthened limbs are filled with power, and she puts pressure on me like a guardian of the labyrinth.

 If you move, the magical power swells as if to unleash a lethal amount of magic.

''Nah......! Why? ......!

 Unlike the exhausted me, Rastiara was full of vitality.
 At the end of the ritual, I could see that she was even stronger than before the ritual. There was such a difference in strength that I had no choice but to listen to what he said. I had no choice but to stop and ask back.

'Why? ......? Because this is the real thing from here on out. And I think we owe it to Reiner to watch that production.

 I get a strange look back at him, wondering what he's talking about.
 I have a bad feeling about this.

'Ho, the real thing? Hey, what are you doing? Can we just break up now? I'm tired today. We'll break up for now and see you tomorrow at .......

 I suggested an alternative, but by then Rastiara was no longer looking at me.

 I lay the former Tiara's corpse in my arms on a nearby couch and braid my own shining hair with a change of heart.

 The majestic, beautiful, smooth long hair turns into a childish, childish braid.
 It's the same hairstyle as it was a year ago when he was fighting in The Dancing Tournament.
 It's the same haircut she had when she was saved by Christ and fought as she pleased under her free will.

 Here she stands up and glares at him, showing her will to go back to the beginning.
 Under her gaze, of course--.

'I will no longer use Lady Tiara as an excuse! And the Hoosiers don't care! My words from here on out, not 'saints' or 'present God'! I am going to be a great hero, you dirty old Rastiala! I have to tell you how I feel about that! And for your mother! Now!

 He stared at Christ and screamed.
 I know that the scream was not to Christ, but to the audience around him, and I know that he was introducing himself. I'm ready to give the answer here and now so that everyone can understand.

 I impatiently try to stop the compulsion.

'Now! No, wait!
I told you before. After the 're-birth' ceremony, I'm going to make sure my love for Kanami and I is real: ......!
'Check ......? No, I know that's not true, but ...... that's a private room somewhere, alone with me, and you're on your own! This is not the time to do it!
It's kind of embarrassing to be alone with you!

 But then it's retorted with a theory that doesn't make sense.
 If you look closely, Rustyala's face is red again. I'm the most embarrassed by the act of 'confirming love' that is about to begin.

 Unable to stop the bad feeling, I exclaim.

''Ha, I'm embarrassed! What are you doing, man!
What? ...... 'Confession', of course!
What?

 A confession, apparently.
 He's made up his mind that he's going to make the confession of a lifetime now.

 I don't know if I'm entering this adolescence or not, but this four-year-old boy's outbursts have not stopped. I don't know if it's partly due to the power of the skill 'bad feeling', but I'm acutely aware of it.

 Seeing that I've kept my mouth shut, Rustyala walks forward.
 She walks like a duelist walking towards her opponent in the arena.

 If his face wasn't red with shame, he would never look like he is about to confess.
 The audience around me may feel the same way, and are chuckling at Rustyala's clumsiness.

 Without regard to my dismay or the audience's laughter, Rustiala goes on--

Kanamie--!

 I scream the name of the person I'm about to confess to as fast as I can.
 It's a shout that's very full of the feeling that I shouted it anyway because I'm embarrassed.

''Oh, I'm not running away! Rastiara!

 It was the same with Christ. He was equally clumsy.
 Anticipating the confession that Rustyala would be making from now on, this one was also shouting back with a blush on his face.

 Honestly, for Christ, who cared about his physical appearance, this situation could be said to be the worst. As I've said before, he would have wished to change places.

 But here is where I'm showing my strength of mind in vain.
 My masters are so stupid that they think they can shout love in any situation if it's genuine love.

 I'm sure that from my experience up to today - that I shouldn't run away here, that I shouldn't lie here, that I shouldn't make a mistake here, that I'll regret it if I don't face it with my heart here - not a single step. He has shown a willingness to not retreat. In vain.

 Christ has also decided to make a 'confession'.
 And this second confession is the real thing - with a face that makes you think so, Christ also takes a step forward.

 In the half-destroyed "Eleventh Crossroads", two men and women facing each other under the gaze of the citizens of Hoosiers - Christ and Rustyala.

 And me, who is being watched over by them.

 I want to go home .......
 I really want to leave ......!

 Just being seen with these two embarrassing people involved makes me blush too. I want to pretend that I'm not involved in this right now and run away. In fact, I want to stop it. If I could, I would.

 But I can't stop it.
 I've been fighting all day long, and I'm exhausted, so I'm no match for either of them.

 --Oh, this sucks: ......!

 I contort my face at this best and worst possible ending.
 And then it begins.
 Unable to escape, their true confession begins before my eyes.
