The fate of Rastiara Hoozeyers was already decided a thousand years ago.
　No matter what choice I make, there is no escaping the page called 'Rebirth'. It seems that it was decided in the 'prophecy' that I would definitely have a ceremony at the Fouzeyards Cathedral.

　With the voice of the Senate, who knew about the prophecy, I was easily able to return to the United Kingdom and rejoin the United States as the "Real God". The priests seemed to be puzzled by this decision, but when it was an instruction from the home country, no one made a big deal out of it.

　Thus, I would once again proceed with the preparations for the ceremony together with the 'Seven Celestial Knights' (Celestial Knights) and the others, but there was one problem that arose here.

　The Blood of Lady Tiara, which should have been there, was not in the cathedral.
　According to the story, the Palinkulon took advantage of the confusion after the Nativity and sold it to the Jewelcruise Research Institute in various parts of the continent, under the pretense that the Reincarnation had failed, and that they would make effective use of the Blood of Lord Tiara for the benefit of the country.

　My knights Sera and Ragne were furious, but I was strangely calm.
　As long as there was the "Red Thread of Fate" at my fingertips, which I could see occasionally, I was confident that I would not deviate from the "Prophecy" and that Kanami was alive somewhere.

　Immediately, I gathered my trusted knights and began to recapture the 'Tiara-sama's Blood'.

　Fortunately, the Blood of Lord Tiara has the power to gather together.
　And only the Jewelcrusteans could sense that power, and among them, my senses were the sharpest of all. In other words, I could detect where the 'Tiara-sama's Blood' was located, just like Kanami's 'Dimension'.

　Furthermore, the changes in the positions of the research institutes in various places also helped me in the recovery process.
　The nemesis, the Aide, the one who stole the logic of the tree, who is active in the northern region, drove the institutes to close down in order to help the Jewelcrusteans.

　I will visit the closing institutes and check the results.
　In addition, when Aide heard rumors that I was in charge of protecting the Jewish stone humans who had been sold out, despite being an enemy, he offered me funds and information.

　It was all going terribly well.
　If I dare to point out a problem, it would be that in the process of gathering "Tiara-sama's blood" into my body, I often saw fragments of memories from a thousand years ago as dreams.

　It was a memory from a thousand years ago, when Tiara-sama and Kanami were traveling together.
　Wherever they picked up any fragment, they stood side by side as if they were 'lovers'.
　The story of their "adventures", always helping each other, sharing their joys and sorrows, and saving people everywhere.

　I read that book with an emotional attachment to Tiara-sama to the fullest.
　And, naturally, my feelings for Kanami grew more and more intense day by day, and the red thread stretching through my fingers grew darker and darker.

　But I already understand.
　The person to whom this red thread is connected is not me.
　It's Tiara-sama.

　I feel bad for Maria and the others, but Kanami's 'one and only destiny' is none other than Tiara-sama, who met, saved, traveled and became her 'lover' before anyone else.

　That was a little sad, but not fatal to me.
　Because I was originally ready to bless Kanami, who was bound to another girl, because I was ready to bless her. It wasn't difficult for me to suppress the feelings that were bubbling up.

　Thus, the year passed very smoothly, but - when the work of retrieving "Tiara-sama's Blood" was over ninety percent complete and the ceremony was almost ready to begin, Kanami, who had been missing, returned to the United Kingdom.

　I heard that she had been dropped to the 66th layer of the labyrinth during the "World Retribution Camp" a year ago, and had managed to make it to the surface.
　Before I could rejoice that he was alive after all, I thought to myself, "It's a little early.　
　Kanami's 'lover', Tiara-sama, had not yet been resurrected.

　So I told her that I was staying in the cathedral and that she should go ahead and pick up her friends, but Kanami's reply was--

But I still want you to come with me!

　It was a rejection I didn't expect.

　That solicitation was hard to resist as I had been rereading memories from a thousand years ago for the past year, and my feelings for Kanami had been growing.
　I felt as if the 'hero' in the book was reaching out to me, and my heartbeat inevitably quickened.

'Let's go together!　Even if you don't think you're special, you're already special to me!　I've enjoyed my time traveling with you!　I vividly remember having a great, great deal of fun!　That's why I want to travel with you!　I want to be with you forever and ever!　Because I--!

　Indeed, Kanami was right, we did travel a year ago.
　Even if it was only for a short time, it certainly took us out of the cathedral and we had 'adventures' in many places.

'I was!　Because I love you!

　I was forced to recall those memories, while I was forced to 'confess'.

　It was too sudden and unrealistic for me to give an immediate answer.
　I knew all along that Kanami was too unrealistic.
　I felt like I was dreaming the whole time we were talking, and I couldn't get my feet on the ground. The words spill out of my mouth as I can't keep my gaze fixed.

'...... Ho, really (...)?'
'Oh, it's so obvious!　Aikawa Uzumi likes a girl named Rustyala (・・・・・・) Foozeyers!　So, y'know, y'know, this is how I'm asking you out!
----!

　However, when I heard the name, I came to myself and said, "This is different.

　It's true that there are memories of the journey between me and Kanami.
　But compared to the memories that exist between Tiara-sama and Kanami, the difference is clear.
　In contrast to me, who had only been there for a dozen days, Tiara-sama had spent more than a dozen years with Kanami a thousand years ago.

　Not only the simple time, but the quality of that time is different as well.
　Kanami reaching out to me, pretending that story didn't exist--

"--But I don't like Aikawa Uzumi (・・・・・・・・・), I guess (...)

　Kanami's insincerity angered me and I refused to return the refusal.

　In truth, I was happy that Kanami had told me she liked me.
　But I was painfully aware of the series of defeats a year ago that I would 'regret it' if I accepted it.
　Kanami, who had no memory of a thousand years ago, could be convinced by this 'confession' that she had misunderstood the source of the feelings bubbling up in her chest when she saw me resembling Lady Tiara.

　We need to carry out the ritual as soon as possible and me and Tiara-sama need to stand in front of Kanami side by side.
　And we need to quickly confirm who is the partner of the 'Red Thread of Fate' connected to that finger.

　-- that confirmation will be fulfilled just a few days after this 'confession'.

　The long awaited 're-birth' ceremony began immediately after Kanami was driven out of the Confederacy as well.

　However, everything was going well, but in the middle of the ceremony, Feydert, who had tried to take away the power of the saint from a thousand years ago, got in the way, and Lord Tiara was resurrected in an incomplete way. Then Kanami, who had overthrown Aide in the "Northern League" in "The Mainland", returns and intervenes.

　Coincidentally, on the day of the 're-birth' ceremony, all the actors were assembled at the 11th Crossroads of the Confederate Fuzzyards.

　It was just right for the witnesses, even though there was a lot of noise from Feydert's private army and onlookers around us.
　Finally, Tiara-sama and I can line up side by side and confirm Kanami's 'love interest'.

　Everything was just as Tiara-sama's 'prediction'.
　The time has come for Kanami's story to finally return to normal, with the 'fiction' called Rastiara passing the baton to the 'real' called Tiara-sama.

　--Well, it should have come, but Tiara-sama himself, who made that 'prophecy', surprisingly rejected the ritual.

'-- Even if I disappear, there are many daughters who have inherited my blood. My daughters will live and help my master. That alone makes me truly feel that my life was worth living.

　He shook his head that he wasn't Kanami's 'one and only destiny'.
　I couldn't believe the way she said she had no intention of living with Kanami after piling up so many memories a thousand years ago.
　That Tiara-sama's words, Ryner tuned in as if to follow up with her.

''-- You're mistaking your feelings for the feelings that Tiara-san had!　You were conscious of it!　Rustyala, you're the only one!

　I assured her that my 'love interest' that I had been carrying around for a long time had nothing to do with a thousand years ago.
　On top of that, in the end, Kanami clearly makes a choice.

"-- I will choose 'Las Tiaras'. I will not choose 'tiara'.

　I said that after lining me and Lady Tiara up on a perfect stage where there was no longer any excuse.

　I'm 'confused'.
　All this past year, I've been under the assumption that 'I'm not the one who deserves Kanami'.
　Thanks to that, I was the only one who was able to remain calm when Kanami went missing. The preparations for Tiara-sama's 're-birth' ceremony also proceeded unhurriedly. Even if he met Kanami face to face, he could still talk lightly with her as an old friend.

　If that premise was overturned, everything about me until today would fall apart.

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

　I asked him to resist, but he answered immediately.

'So are you sure you're good ...... with that, Tiara-sama?　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?

　Tiara-sama says that he was not a 'lover' but a 'master and student'.
　I was told, like a child admonishing a child, that the reason that story from a thousand years ago looked like a 'lover' - it was because of my deep psychology that I wanted to be a 'lover' with Kanami.

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

　Because of the immediate answers from everyone but me, my confidence is diminishing.

　Furthermore, something that had been suppressed for a long time came pouring out of the cracks in my heart.
　It was a feeling of 'confession' on top of the 'hugs' and 'kisses' of the past.

　Suddenly, you can no longer look directly into Kanami's dark eyes that are now standing in front of you.
　The skin all over my body became hot, as if it were on fire at once. The oil called 'love interest' that had been dripping on the skin of my entire body for a long time felt like it had been ignited.

　Funny ......, that's not the plan .......
　Why should Tiara-sama and Kanami not be joined together .......

　No one agrees with me.
　People shake their heads that I'm the only one who's wrong.
　And with all the proofs lined up in front of me, I've almost come to accept it.

　I was the one who was wrong: ......?
　Ho, really ......?　

　As the 'confusion' accelerates, I am reminded of one rationale.

　I'm a 'make-believe', a vessel to be replaced .......
　I thought that the 'red thread of fate' was also connected to the 'real' Tiara-sama, not me, and that's why I tried to 're-birth' her today: ......!　Ah yes, ......!

　That 'red thread of fate' is the best proof of all.
　I look at the thread extending from Kanami's fingertips and shift my gaze to the person who must be connected to it.

　My eyes meet with Tiara-sama, who is smiling and smiling at me.
　I shift my gaze downward, just a little.
　However, there was no 'red thread' on Tiara-sama's finger.

　While Tiara and Rath Tiara lined up, it was my fingertips that were connected to Kanami now.

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

　I confirmed it.　
　I was the one who couldn't make excuses in the perfect situation I'd set up to keep Kanami from making excuses for me.

　There was no way I could resist anymore.
　The thoughts that I had been holding back for so long are now flooding out of my chest.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it happen.

　The truth is, I am .......
　The truth is, I didn't want to be separated from Kanami for one moment .......
　I wanted to laugh with her all the time .......

　I love it, that's what I thought all along.
　Oh, yes.

　Rustyala Foods Ya'll love Aikawa Uzumi: ......!
　No, I loved it: ......!

　The "Red Thread of Fate" that connects me and Kanami rekindles my love for Kanami.
　It's Kanami's skill '? It was the same as when the
　If there was one difference, it would be that this was an explosion of all the positive emotions that had been building up all along.

　I shifted my gaze from Tiara-sama to Kanami.
　There was the same dark-haired admirer standing there as when I met her, still with the same passionate black eyes that said, "I love Las Tiara.

''Oh ......, aaaaah, aaaaah--!

　I writhed in agony, too happy to even look at him squarely.
　I had to scream to expel it from my body because the happiness was beyond the capacity of one person's capacity.
　But even if I let out all the breath in my lungs, the happiness still didn't go away.

　I am bewildered and astonished by the raging rapture, almost crying.

　How can a person be like this, just because of the effects of their mental state ......?
　I have seen so many times in books and plays where a man and a woman come together at the end of their ordeal. Everyone looked so happy and tearful, but I thought it was a dramatic portrayal.

　It wasn't.
　I was just too young to imagine the weight of those emotions.

　I'm not exaggerating or anything. I feel like I'm going to stop breathing now. My heart is going to break. I'm distantly aware of the rapture. I want to scratch my throat with joy. I can't help but think that bloodshed is okay if the burning heat that runs through my skin stops.

　Somehow, I try to control this embarrassment, but Kanami, who's the one who approached me with concern.

''Rastiara, Ojo--, why are you slashing at me!
Hey, don't look at me--!

　I shouted, slashing at him with the sword in my hand.

　Would Kanami not understand?　If they get close to me now and make me love Kanami any more, I don't know what will happen to me anymore.

　So please don't look at me with eyes more beautiful than those numerous black gems.
　Everything about Kanami, including her jet black hair, is dangerous. Once in my sight, I will not be able to take my eyes off it, as if it were swallowed up by the darkness. My eyes would be burned out by the brilliance of that bright star (Myoujo).

　I know it's a favoritism due to a weakness I fell in love with, just like Tiara-sama a thousand years ago.
　But now, for me, it was real and true.

　I desperately swing my sword and try to drive Kanami away from me.
　But the effort is blurred by Kanami's cool voice.

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

　Even if I drove them out of my eyes, they would still pick up information about Kanami from my ears.
　After deciding that it was really dangerous any longer, I decided that I had no choice but to run away to a place where Kanami's voice couldn't even reach me.

''Whoa, ah!　Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh--!

　However, I was blocked by the crowd that surrounded me.

　The people who would normally be living witnesses to the bond between Lady Tiara and Kanami were cheering at me. They were congratulating me and Kanami.

　I succumbed to the pressure, my cheeks slackened and I lost the strength to escape from both of my legs.
　Unable to stand, I called for help. But now the only people I know are Tiara-sama and Ryner. Ryner's one had a nasty-looking sneer on his face, so I had no choice but to run to Tiara-sama's bottom.

''--Hmm. It seems that master likes only Las Tiara-chan too. That's good ....... We're both in love, okay?

　Lady Tiara gently strokes my head as I try to hide inside my chest.
　Her hands are as warm as an unknowing mother's, and I can't stop sobbing.

''Uh-uh!　Ahhhh--!
'Whew. Is that it?　Master's going to be ok?　Well, you can slowly remember what happened a thousand years ago. But if you do remember everything, then--

　Lady Tiara must have decided that it was all over.
　She was about to close the place with her farewell words like an elder.

''You'll have to love Rath Tiara-chan then, both of us, mother and daughter (oyaji).

　After that seemingly 'prophetic' testament, the 'chanting' and magic by the saints of a thousand years ago will be activated. I can no longer stop it.

' -- '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!　--Holy Magic, Revive!

　Even though I was meditating in Tiara-sama's chest, a light like a starry sky filled my vision.

　The magic was activated at zero distance, tangled in blood and blood.
　It was impossible to prevent it.
　In my blood, Tiara-sama's blood enters into my blood. Accompanying it was a fragment of the 'Story of the Starry Sky' from a thousand years ago. As a supplement to the story I've been following in this past year--.

"-- There's no doubt that Saint Tiara once longed to be a 'gentile'. That's why the boy and girl continued their relationship as master and student until their deaths. In other words, they were never 'lovers'. If there was a special bond, it would be the bond of 'family'. It is clear from the fact that Kanami looked up to her sister as her sister. Most importantly, this one word would tell you. Saint Tiara said this in front of Yotaki. ''To me, a master is only a master. I like him as a mentor, but have I ever thought of him as a 'lover'? And that's what he was clearly telling me -

　The whole time they met in the tower, during their journey together, and when they fought as mentors and disciples, Lady Tiara saw Kanami as 'family'

　-- now I could see it being rightly overwritten (...) by the author's hand.

　In other words, the 'love interest' I felt when I was reading The Starry Sky Story was an assumption on my part as a reader. I was emotionally invested in the protagonist of the story, and it was something that I had added in my imagination - I had added it to my imagination.

'I liked Kanami, I ......?　I was the only one ......?　All of those thoughts came from me: ......?
'That's the thing. I didn't want to see my master again. If I wanted it, it would only be the happiness of my beloved my daughters ......?　Be happy ....... Now, it's up to you to do the rest: ......

　The final confirmation with Tiara-sama and the final confirmation is over.
　Then, through the divine magic 《Revive》, Tiara-sama's soul is gradually transferred into me, and the power is gradually lost from her body.

''Nahis, Rasu-chan ....... With this, I am already anshin ....... It, then--Ane--.......

　Lord Tiara disappeared from the world, having exhausted his magical power and light.

　It meant that the 're-birth' was a success.
　The 'Pseudo-God's Eye' caught the rapid growth of my status 'qualities' due to the inheritance of the saint's power from a thousand years ago.

　But what was important in this world wasn't those numbers.
　What I lacked was not power, but thoughts. A year ago, the reason I was 'regretting' not being able to follow Maria and the others was because of that weak will.

　But now I finally got it.
　Four years after I was born, in my birthplace of Fuzzyards, with many people watching over me, I shout out to the world the love I've been keeping hidden.

'I am ......, I am a--!

　Kanami and I, after a really poor and stupid exchange of words - and a really poor and stupid exchange of words.

"I love Kanami--!　
　I love you, Kanami!　I love--！！！！
Yeah, I love you too.
　--I love Rastiara with all my heart.

　We are joined together.

　Not only between us, but also in the eyes of the world, our love is now confirmed.
　I was so happy about that fact that I couldn't bear to take a step forward and--

Kanamich: ......!
-Oh!

　Over the course of a year, the real kiss is reapplied.

　The feelings will no longer be erased.
　We could hug each other as much as we wanted. So we held each other strong - strong, strong, strong, with the intention of never letting go again.

　We would experience the feeling of being joined to each other and to the person we loved, not only in our hearts but also in our bodies.
　It's the very wonderful ending (happy ending) I heard about one day.
　Under the shimmering white light that could be mistaken for a blessing, the cheers and cheers never cease to ring out, and I have finally arrived at this point.
　Until the last page of the book, "The boy and girl united by the red thread of destiny".


　All we have to do now is continue to live happily (・・・・・・・) forever (・・・・・・・・).


　Kanami and I had tears in the corners of our eyes as we believed in that future.
