I think that Rustyala Foodsayers was dreaming until the end of his life.

　However, that "dream" is really uncertain, and is followed by a sense of insecurity that can easily be erased if you reach for it.

　Those who are born as "Jewelcrus" will never be able to get rid of that sense of uncertainty. I heard that because the owner of the blood that is the main source of everything has been controlled by this feeling until the day he dies, his daughters will naturally fall into the same category.

　However, this me was the only one who was supposed to be ...... different from the rest of the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)'.

　At any rate, Rustyala Foozeyers is a masterpiece that overcame all the flaws in The Magic Stone Man (Jewelculus).
　Before he was born, he invested a huge amount of money and added all kinds of "techniques" to his blood.
　Even this is still a forbidden "spell" and brainwashing-like mental stability.

　Its coordination is perfect, and there are no dead spots in the plan.
　Even if he was told right after he was born that he would take the place of the dead, he would not feel at all uneasy.

　On the contrary, the more I read the prepared heroic tales, the more I feel proud to be a vessel for the great men of the past. The more I talk to the Levantine faithful, the more I feel a sense of superiority that I was born with this mission.

　-- I wasn't afraid to disappear or die.

　It's not a lie.
　Having read so many heroic tales, I was well aware of the truly unfortunate end of the spectrum.
　I thought it wasn't such a bad life to be the cornerstone of heroes while being blessed by everyone else in the world, relatively speaking. ......

　In other words, the brainwashing and adjustment of the "Hoosier State" and the "Senate" had been a success.
　I also understood that this was the kindness of the adults' hearts.

　However, unfortunately - I ended up feeling the same anxiety in my heart as the rest of the Jewelculus.

　That anxiety is not about the rituals that will eventually come.
　There was always only one thing that scared me, when the adjustment was supposed to be perfect.

　"New Year 1011.

　It was a year after I was born.
　A large garden in the center of the Fouzeyards Cathedral.
　A large fountain that reaches to the roof, sprinkling cool splashes. Next to it was a simple pews, albeit under a clear sky. In addition, in front of it, there was a row of desks and couches that looked too expensive to be measured.

　It looked a bit like a classroom, but I was the only student taking a class there, and I was the only one who had the luxury of teaching on the platform.
　And the man who was supposed to be teaching on that platform threw the history books and heroic tales prepared by the "Senate" into the corner and read to the students one boy and girl's story.

Thus, a boy and a girl, watched by many people, dramatically and beautifully, and of course emotionally, scream out their secret love to each other. Hmmm, just imagine, Lady Rustyala, a boy and a girl screaming out their secret love for each other in the eyes of many people, dramatically beautiful and of course touching. Under the twinkling white light that could be mistaken for a blessing, the world trembles as the crowd shouts their blessings. Wouldn't it be a wonderful ending, as if a huge curtain were being drawn from the sky even now?
Ha, ha. ......

　If there was anything that scared me, which was perfectly coordinated, it would be - only this educator's threats.
　I listened to the personal theatrical tastes of Hein Helvirshine, the man who is touted as the best knight in the world, and I listened.

'Yes, sir. So that's the end of this story. Thus, the boy and girl who have survived the tribulations will continue to live happily (・・・・・・) for a long time (・・・・・・・). Slowly, happily, together, in a distant land where they don't have to worry about their differences in birth, all the time .......

　I was mentally very young at the time, and like dry soil sucks rain, I heard that Mr. Hein's adventure tale of love in its skin.

　It was inevitable for my newborn self.
　I sat alone on the couch, with no one else around, chewing on the new knowledge I was being given.

'I'll continue to live happily (・・・・・・) all the time (・・・・・・) ......'

　-- I feel that this was the beginning of Rastiara Hoozeyars when I worked backwards from the end of my story.

　Hence, this is the beginning of my 'Memoirs of the Hero Rastiala Huseyars'.

'Yes. They continue to be very happy together. It's a very enviable thing to do while talking about your creation. Yes, I really do envy you. ......

　The knight Hine, unusually dressed like a teacher, clenched his fists and made a strong case for the future of the characters of his creation.

　But I was still not as emotionally invested in the story as he was.
　The reason for this, as a newborn, I would tell him. It was a question that only a novice 'reader' who started reading creative stories could ask.

'Spend Happily Ever After ....... Mr. Hein, is that ever going to be the case after these pages?
What?　What ......, are you talking about after this?
'Here's what follows. Where is the rest of that last page?

　I looked around, searching for a book with the same title. Mr. Hein scratched his cheeks as if a little annoyed, then slowly shook his head.

'There is no continuation. That's what books are for. When the writer stops, the story is over.'
...... is it over now?　But I want to read more books. I'd like to know more about the rest of it, the happy life, Mr. Hein.

　I felt so strongly about it because I liked the story.
　But the educator in front of me smiled gently and said not to worry.

''It's all right, Miss. Sure, this is the end of the story, but without a doubt, the boys and girls will continue to live happily ever after. I have no doubt about that much.''

　So Mr. Hein assured me.
　But I feel differently than he does.

　I don't think there is any doubt. The next page might be followed by "I thought it was actually--" and then a few years later there might be a sentence that says, "When we actually lived together, we didn't fit in that well.

...... Okay, I get it. So that's the end of the story. I give up.

　But I nodded honestly.
　The right way to enjoy a book is Mr. Hein. I could determine, thanks to the common sense etched in my blood, that I was only blurring the boundaries between creation and reality.

　Perhaps sensing my frustration, Hein-san replied with a wrinkled brow, though her smile did not falter.

''I can't help but understand your feelings, Miss. But let's believe it. The two of you who have overcome hardship will be rewarded with such a reward ....... At least, that's what I believe, and I always read my books.
Believe that, read the book: ......

　I would learn how to read - 'reading' - from Mr. Hein.
　I was puffing out my cheeks in discontent, but the idea was strangely easy to swallow.

　The next page continued, "They will always be happy--" and I was sure it was more fun to believe that they would live happily ever after, even after all these years, "They will live happily ever after.

'Certainly, yes, ....... It's more like a ...... 'dream' that way. After all, a story is only dramatic and full of hope.

　As easily as if it had been set up from the beginning, I easily learned the basics of 'reading' in Mr. Hein's style.

'I see you're convinced. ...... So let's get back to class now, shall we? No matter how quickly your daughter swallows the class, it will affect my assessment if she is caught doing nothing but changing her mind.

　With that, Mr. Hein placed the book he had brought in with him on the pew with great care and picked up a history book on Hoosiers that had been haphazardly placed on a nearby couch.

　The original class was back in session.
　However, throughout that class, I continued to ruminate on the story that Mr. Hein had read to me. I envisioned in my mind the rest of the story in my own way, believing that the later story, "Slowly and happily for both of us, all the time ......" as I had been taught, would be a very happy time.

　--In the early chapters, I really learned a lot from the knight Hein Helvirshain.

　It's not merely about knowledge and how to fight.
　It included a wide range of things, even how to spend my days and enjoy life.

　As a result, within a year, I would become the hobby that Mr. Hein wanted me to be.
　I've really grown to love reading books.

　I especially liked the 'adventure' genre and began to admire the 'heroes'.
　After all, a large part of my class was the history of the battles of Lord Tiara Hoozars in the Levantine tradition of Hoozars.

　Because I was the vessel for the successful re-birth of Lord Tiara, I was able to get more emotionally involved in that story than anyone else.
　In that legendary battle, Lady Tiara, with her "long hair as beautiful as flowing gold sand" just like mine, played a major role, and it made me feel as if I was there a thousand years ago.

　The more I "read," the more I felt as if "I" (Tiara) had met the apostle and become a saint. I felt as if I had become the founder and united the nations of the continent to fight against the evil apostles. I felt like I became a hero and went on an 'adventure' all over the world, and I ...... enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart.

''--Hmmm.''

　A chuckle escaped me.

　The female knight of the escort beastman, Serah Raydianto, who was listening to it next to me - Serah spoke to me in a gentle voice.

''You really like books, miss, don't you?''

　"New Year 1012.

　On this day, I was still using my free time before class to 'read'.
　By this time, I had read through all the books in the Hoosiers, so I was just rereading my favorite, the lore from a thousand years ago.

'Yes, I love it. It's the only thing I enjoy in a boring cathedral.

　When I responded immediately, Sera turned her attention to the nearby exercise space and suggested another hobby.

'As for me, I'd like to recommend more sword and magic training: ....... Now, I can keep you company and ......
'Hmmm, sorry. If anything, I prefer to read books. ...... Oh, if it's a sword instruction book, I'd be more inclined to read it. If possible, it would be nice if it came with an autobiography by a master.

　A body full of my 'qualities' would be able to understand most of it just by reading it.
　However, seeing me only sit down and not put it into practice, Sera's sigh grows deeper.

''Huh. All of this is because of Hein's education policy. That man brings in all those books for nothing. ......''
'You don't like books, do you, Serah?'
'I don't really dislike them. I don't like difficult books, but ...... I do buy and read these things sometimes at my own expense.

　Sera picked up one of the books piled on a nearby platform.
　It was a love story in the skin of the adventure story that Mr. Hein had brought with him in the beginning.

'A story about being united with a lord who is bound by the red 'thread' of fate. ...... I think it's lovely.

　Blushing slightly, Sera's eyes narrowed.

　The way she pondered the story of the book, she didn't have her usual manly air about her.
　Although not much was known to the knights of Fuzzy Yards, she surprisingly had a taste for girls. However, with her man-hating nature, she only shows her current expression to the same s*x that she has allowed herself to be. ......

　I'm glad to see that rare expression and hope that her story will be a happy one forever.

''Hmph, I agree with you. I hope that one day, Sera will find a good-looking man tied to her by the red thread of fate.
'Well, I didn't mean it that way: ......!　And besides, rather than me, the young lady will one day be the one who deserves it...

　After saying that much, Sera stopped speaking.

　With a huff, her edgy face turned pale.
　Really, Sera-chan is an easy to understand and pretty woman. She looked as if she was about to commit suicide now, realizing halfway through that someday (...) future is not for me.

　I smiled gently and rambled out an arrogant answer to show that I didn't care.

'Hmmm, are you worthy of me? ....... But it's not every day that a man can stand on a par with me here, is it?　I'm not proud of it, but it's quite something. This 'Present Man God' Rastiara Huseyers-sama's beauty is. Hmph.
Lady: ......

　It was a joke, Sera could tell that she was joking.
　However, in all seriousness, she tightened her expression and replied in her seriousness.

''Yes. There aren't many men worthy of a woman as dainty, kind-hearted, modest and caring as the young lady ......!　And if they do show up, they will be severely vetted by this Serra Raydiant!　It's up to me to see if I'm really the man who can make your daughter happy: ......!
I have a feeling that no one will pass the test if it's left up to Sera. ...... Something tells me that no one will pass the test. If the time comes, it looks like the judging will be ...... done by someone else. Let's leave it to Ragné-chan or something like that.
Oh, come on, girl!　Does that mean I'm inferior to Ragne!
To put it bluntly, that's what I'm saying.

　As I said this, Sera opened her big mouth and began to lament, "Oh no .......
　However, it was worth the unpatterned and stout joke, as she was no longer about to harm herself.

　At that time, the girl who just mentioned her name appears from the bushes in the garden.

''--Haha. I felt like my name was being called - the knight Lagune has appeared. I'm going to be able to see that the young lady is showing her nasty side and annoying her seniors.
Oh, Ragné.

　Ragne Kaikwola, the youngest 'Celestial Knights' (Celestial Knights), moved like a wild animal and sat down next to me with a whimper.

''But you're reading again. The young lady never gets tired of it either.

　Then, just like Sera, she picked up a suitable book nearby - only she was the only one to say the exact opposite in The Seven Celestial Knights of Heaven (Celestial Knights).

'I'm not very good at this sort of thing. When I read the print, my eyebrows get squeezed together.

　I was a little unhappy with that impression.
　So when I turned to the book in her hand, trying to wrap it up somehow to make Ragne-chan a like-minded person as well - I was surprised that I didn't recognize the title of the book.

'Huh?'

　I feel like I've read ...... in the past year.
　As I recall, it wasn't a royal adventure story, but a tragic love story that was popular among the daughters of the nobility.

　I faintly remember that it wasn't just a royal tale, it was quite strange.
　It's the story of a nobleman's daughter who meets a 'gentile' from a different world than this one - a different world. The setting is the same labyrinthine confederacy as here, and although it starts out as a typical love story, the main character dies in the middle of the story. Nevertheless, the story continues unhurriedly, which is impressive, and by the end ...... what happened?　It had a happy ending. ...... I feel like it was a happy ending.

　They seemed so happy on the last page that I had the book within reach of me to reread it again sometime. ...... Otherwise, there would be no reason for the book to be here.

'-- Lagne, you're training with the Chancellors today, aren't you?　Why are you here?

　However, my process of checking my memory was interrupted by Sera's voice interrupting me.

''I'm with the ladies, and we've just entered break time! Well, the training of the President and the others has been hard and grueling lately. Please ask the young lady to make the training light.
You do that, and you spoil your daughter right away ......!

　Unlike the other 'Seven Celestial Knights' (Celestial Knights), Ragne-chan is very easy to talk to me.

　Even though I know that such a role has been given to me by the Hoosier State, I will still talk to her as the best friend I can find.

'That's how much is expected of you, Ragne, isn't it?　After all, he's the secret child of that Mr. Hein and Palinclone. ...... The treasured children that often appear in heroic tales!
'No, I think that sidelong claim that came from somewhere is the main reason why my training is so caustic: ....... Where did you hear that, young lady?
'I was the first to hear, or rather, to start bickering with the secret children. ...... To be honest, I was annoyed that I was the only one studying, so I got Ragne-chan involved. Lagne-chan, all you do is look around the cathedral grounds and you always seem to have a lot of time on your hands, don't you?
I knew it was the girl!　Oh, I've been feeling that way, dammit. It's a cushy patrol job that's just so easy to do, girl. ......

　Spitting out a curse, Ragne gingerly rests her head on my lap.

　I think Ragne is really good at playing the role of a friend.
　Even though I know it's her job, this is how I enjoy talking to her. In my personal opinion, she is the one who does the most work in The Seven Celestial Knights of Heaven (Celestial Knights).

　And as if she's tired of that work, Ragne looks at the scenery around her while squinting her eyes.

''Haha ....... Shucks, this garden ....... It's really beautiful, isn't it ......?
Garden?　Yes, it's very beautiful. They say it's the best garden in the Confederacy.
'Oh, it's really beautiful ....... I want to stay here with the young lady forever. ...... Haha.

　I thought it meant that she wanted to keep skipping her special training, but when I looked at her face, I realized that it wasn't.

　I never once saw Ragne's expression as she muttered, "All the time, I'm going to keep going ......" as she repeated.
　There is no doubt that he is smiling.
　But I felt like what was accompanying it was not joy or comfort, but frustration and regret.

　Sometimes I don't know what Lagune is thinking about. She is always full of energy and has a sunny expression - but the backlight of the day is too strong to see anything through.

　If I could see into the depths of her mind now, it would only be for someone with a special "eye for observation". Just when I thought that, a new 'Celestial Knights' appeared again.

''-- I'm sorry, Lagune. That's impossible. ...... So, I guess it's time for my class. For those of you who don't care, get the hell out of here.

　It was Palinclone Legacy, the knight with the lowest rank.
　As usual, he was dressed in a merchant-like outfit that was not knightly and had a very stinky expression. And next to him was Mr. Hein, who was also accompanied by a contrasting outfit and expression. Lately, I feel like I've seen these two walking together a lot.

　Palinclone appeared in the garden and lightly tapped Ragne and Serah, who were relaxing near me, on the shoulder and asked them to leave.
　Apparently, while we were chatting and laughing, the break was already over.

'Is the break over already? Moreover, Hein-senpai is there too. There's no way to escape from this.
Well, I guess it's time for me to make my rounds. Now if you'll excuse me, miss.

　When the time was called, the two men moved swiftly, like knights. Finally, Palinclone tapped Hein, who was walking next to him, on the shoulder as well.

''Hein, please don't let that Ragne guy get away, okay?
'Yes. Of course it is.

　At that moment, I felt a slight flow of strange magical power.

'Hmm ......?'

　It's not a magical operation.
　As a living magic dictionary, I had the confidence to do so. Then, when I looked around to see what the current feeling of a 'thread' being broken was--

Lady: ......

　Mr. Hein was staring at me with a very sad look in his eyes.
　I think I've been getting this look more and more this year. As I wondered about it, Palinclone interrupted us.

'Hey, hey, it's my class today, okay?　No, I'd take over for you if you would.
...... No. It's up to you, Palinclone.

　Mr. Hein left the garden with Ragne in tow, as if he was leaving behind.
　Palinclone and I watched the back of him, and when the area around the great fountain was empty -

"...... It's hard to keep up, isn't it? We 'Celestial Knights' are supposed to complete the Lord as a victim, but ...... the more time we spend near the Lord like this, the less judgment we make.

　He spoke in front of me easily, something that no one had been careful not to mention.
　I uttered his name in dismay at the way he was so majestically abdicating his duties.

'Palinclone, you, whoever you are, are ......'

　However, I knew it was his own teaching (...).
　Unlike the other token lessons by the Seven Knights of Heaven (Celestial Knights), only Palinkulon is practical. There is no signal to start, and he doesn't care about morality or common sense at all.

''But perhaps the 'Senate' knew this was going to happen and prepared a 'Celestial Knights', right?　So, where does that leave us on schedule?　Let's think with me for a moment, Lady Rastiara.

　Palinkron stood at the podium as he spoke, and I was nervous and relative.

　He is by no means a trustworthy person.
　But I could tell that he really wanted to teach (・・・・), so I would answer him seriously.

'There is a prophecy by Saint Tiara-sama in the mainland 'Senate'. I heard that was a kind of future prediction magic. Isn't everything going to be as planned until I become Saint Tiara?　The current state of the 'Seven Celestial Knights' (Celestial Knights) and everything else.
So you believe that. Do you think that ...... will be able to make your anxiety go away as planned by Saint Tiara?　What do you think about the fact that you're not only attracted to your role as the Jewelcrus, but also to life as a person?
Yeah, that's ......

　I didn't have an answer right away.

　I was upset that Palinclone had read the anxiety in the back of my mind about whether I was really going to be able to keep this up.

　Clearly, the anxiety I have is unnecessary to the rebirth of Lady Tiara. Then why is there a group of knights called 'Celestial Knights' (Celestial Knights) around me who are fueling that anxiety? If there really is a power of future prediction, why is Tiara-sama .......

　As I'm pondering that - I feel the flow of magic power around me get greatly disturbed again.
　It was like a water current hitting my skin.

''............!''

　Immediately I looked up and escaped that strange flow of magic by shaking my head widely.

　I was able to react to it because I had been taught by Palinkron before.
　Just because it's a duel (rules) doesn't mean that everyone fights according to the duel (rules).
　I didn't respond to the question, ignoring the rules of the conversation, but instead asked Palinkron the opposite.

'Palinclone, I'm at ....... No, didn't you do something (...) to Serah and the others just now?　It's not magic ....... Something else (...) more ......, especially for Mr. Hein: ......

　When he gave the 'answer' of 'The answer', Palinclone gave a soft look as if he was looking at a student who had answered the 'answer' correctly for a moment and ...... immediately blurted out.

'All of a sudden?'　Other than magic, you say. Isn't it your imagination?
............

　Staring, I continued to stare and blame him.
　Then, deliberately, Palinkron shrugged his shoulders in surrender.

'...... haha, you're right. So don't look at me like that. The guys in Sera are my friends who accept me for what I am. Hein is a precious idiot who calls guys like me his friend. I'm not going to do anything weird, although I will support their dreams. That's one thing I promise.

　He uttered warm words like "friend" and "companion", which was unusual for Palinkron.
　They were all grating words, which made me even more wary.

'Huh. I know, I know, I swear on my family name as a knight. I swear by my own will, not by 'contract'. --The Palinclone Legacy supports my friend's life. I never let anyone take control of my life, and I really hope I can make it through.

　With a smirk on his face, Palinclone took the oath of knighthood, albeit a simple one, in front of my continued doubt.

　Honestly, I don't trust him at all.
　Not only his loose expression and gestures, but the wording of the oath is also suspicious. It's so vague that it can be taken any way, and it's entirely clear that he's leaving it for insurance later on.

　But for some reason, the only thing that seemed to be serious was the phrase "let no one control you".
　It is, for example, the chains of the family name Helvilleshain that bind Mr. Hein. Furthermore, the weight of the country called Hoosiers. Beyond that, the only thing I feel is the spirit of not allowing my friend to be manipulated by a number of powers such as the 'Senate'.

...... I admit that there is only a small amount of strange friendship between you and Mr. Hein.
"A little bit." ....... Well, thanks a lot. It's still a good thing that we're childhood friends. You have to at least give me some credit for that.

　After all, Palinkron said, "Didn't you do something? He didn't answer the question "What do you want to do?
　I will not pursue that. Distantly, he said, "How could I not have done something? And since he's reopened the door, no matter how much I blame him, he's not going to stop to reflect on it.

　I sigh heavily, thinking that he's a really nasty and troublesome knight.
　And Palinclone, who shows no signs of remorse, takes out a book from his pocket that I've never seen before and begins to focus on his original duties.

''Well then, let's call it a day of tomfoolery and talk about the serious stuff. I'm going to be killed by the assassins of the Senate if I don't teach you the right things. ...... Oh no, it's hard to be a teacher for hire.

　I had never seen a book with that light and purple magic in it.
　Maybe it was the book of the Legacy family that controlled the forbidden technology.

''Today, the power to not be defeated by prophecy and other joke magic. Let's talk about 'the numbers that don't show up in numbers. ...... Listen carefully, my student.
...... Thank you for your help, doctor.

　I bowed my head in disgust as we became the body of the class.

　All the while, I never showed an opening against this stinking man. I kept my nerves in check so that anything could happen at any time, and I would write down in my head the techniques that Palinkron would use to mouth.

　In the end, nothing happened that day.
　Very peacefully, Palinkron's class ended.
　It wasn't until much, much later than that day that he realized that what he really wanted to teach was the vigilance itself. ......

　--The beginning of my story is mainly about my interaction with the "Seven Celestial Knights" (Celestial Knights).

　Before the story began in earnest, the Celestial Knights taught me many things.

　No matter how much of an ego I was born with, the influence of the Celestial Knights had a big impact on me.
　After all, the Jewelcrus named Rustyala Fuzzyaz had no parents that they should have. That's why these Celestial Knights have become my parents.

　And as I received various knowledge and values from the parent-substitutes in between the lines, I began to follow a path that was outside the plans of the 'Senate'.
　I begin to think that I should follow a different path instead of the future of being the sacrifice of the saintly Tiara's re-birth, and that I should follow a different path.

　Clearly, my mind was reeling.
　And then, in the year 1013 of the new calendar, which would soon be the day of the promised "Nativity"...

Mr. Hine. Finally, I'd like to take a look outside: ......

　I would hope so.
　The knight who was begging for it was surprised, but never dismissed.

'I'll call on ....... Give me a moment, miss.

　The opening chapter comes to an end and a chapter begins.

"--In the year 1013 of the New Year, when the Nativity is "almost upon us", Rastiara Hoozeyers utters the words "Finally". To which the best knight, Hein Helvirshain, responds, hesitantly but gladly. She and the knight head to the 'Labyrinth', the one they long for the most, to face their cursed birth, to find their true desires -

　The pre-prepared pages were rolled up.
　I entered the labyrinth of the Confederation and fulfilled the condition that 'Aikawa Uzumi will only be summoned a thousand years later when Tiara Hoozeyers enters the labyrinth'. I walked through that labyrinth as if I was pulled by something that wasn't magic--.

Hey. Whoever's hiding in there, come out.

　I meet the boy.
　When the golden eyes caught him - all the blood in me rushed to the surface.

　Thanks to the fact that I had always made him 'display' because he was in the labyrinth, his joking 'status' was reflected in my eyes.

　I've seen it all, including the three words that ended with the word 'gentile'.
　My heart beat faster at the list of numbers that were too abnormal.

　The most unusual is 'predisposition'.
　I've never seen it. I've seen countless people with 'my own eyes' and most of them were 0 or 1. Even the Celestial Knights, selected from the continent's most prominent families, are 2. And I, the supposed 'Real Man God', am 4. And yet he's 7. ......!

　On top of that, he's level 1.
　At his age, he'd be out of level 1 just living a normal life. So that's the biggest proof that he's not normal.

　It's not just 'display'.
　He was about the same age on the outside as himself, and very close to him.
　His dark hair and dark eyes, unusual for the confederacy, were eye-catching, as if he was a character in a story. Every time the tips of its black hair swayed in the quiet breeze that blew through the corridor, I was struck with an unusual sense of unreality. Including the name Aikawa Kanami, a word I'd never heard before, I felt my sense of reality to this day crumble.

　My fragile sense of value, raised in the cradle of the cathedral, was breaking down with a resounding thud.
　That's how much this Aikawa Kanami was my very own "dream" (・・・・).

　--It's hot (...).

　I suppressed my chest at the sheer heat. My cheeks relaxed.
　Anyway, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, I couldn't stand it.

　I didn't know what that feeling was at the time.
　But I knew myself that it was a similar feeling as when I was 'reading'.

　No, let's be honest.
　I saw him as a book.
　I envied him from the bottom of my heart for his 'adventures' like in the books.
　Over here, I've been studying in a stupid, boring prison since I was born. After class, the next thing I'd be doing was forging swords and magic all over again. A hellish day of endlessly stretching my powers that I had no plans to use. There's not a single interesting incident (event) in three years because there's always the best knights on the continent on patrol.

　And yet, this Aikawa Kanami is dying so happily in the labyrinth I spent three years getting to, in the extreme conditions of level 1: ......!

　I can't help but be jealous of you .......
　I'm like you, too: .......
　If possible, I'll have a fun 'adventure' with you ......--

"-- Thus, in the labyrinth a thousand years later, Master and I, who once swore to each other that we would live together forever, were reunited.
　However, the 'world' is truly a cruel thing, and the souls that met in that fateful encounter had no memories left of a thousand years ago. However, there was nothing to be pessimistic about. No matter how many times the world tries to tear them apart, the red thread of fate will always bring them together.
　This time, that's how it's done (・・・・・).
　The boy and the girl begin a new path on the remade board.
　This time, they vow to live happily (...) together forever.
　To re-select the real "only one person of destiny".
　The first chapter of this new story is now opening up--

　In the midst of all the chaos, a strange narrative popped into my head.

　It was similar to Hein-san's narrative, so I thought it was a sentence from one of the heroic tales I've read and heard over the past three years, but the title didn't come up.
　In the first place, due to the nature of "The Magic Stone Man (Jewelculus)", I have many memories that are not my own. After thinking that it would be difficult to accurately match them up, I chased the strange narrative out of my head, saying that it wasn't the right time to do so.

'More importantly, ......!'

　Now I'm encountering a 'dream' situation.
　Immediately I was calculating how I could use all the knowledge I had gained to date to 'adventure' with him.

　I can't take it anymore.
　I knew I had very little time left, so I knew I had to have an 'adventure' now.
　I wanted to spend my last hours in my favorite book - my interaction with the Seven Celestial Knights in Heaven (Celestial Knights) up to today had given me the 'answer'.

　Immediately I make my move.
　I have to help him first.
　Without a doubt, he's the 'hero' (hero) of my story - I'm a little embarrassed to say that he's the 'candidate' because I don't know yet, so let's call him a 'candidate'.

　In order to keep that 'candidate' from dying, I need to recover him with the Cure Fool and make him strong with the Level Up. However, if I move too much here, the accompanying knights will be distracted. No matter how much it is the last free time, it's not good to deviate too far from the 'Senate' schedule. In that case, it's better to carefully part ways and meet alone after slipping out of the cathedral at night--

"Hi, hihihi: ......

　While I was thinking about this, I heard a page being rolled up somewhere in the distance.



　After it's all said and done, you'll know exactly what it is.
　It's a magical book that always has a next page ready for whatever choice I make.
　It may be a little bloody, but I believe - I believe - that it was the most sacred book in the world.
