"Takatsuki Mako-to!
 With a thud, the goddess of fate, Esther, hugged me.
 The priestess was small, but she was so strong that she pushed me down to the floor.

I was so worried about you! I was so worried about you!
 I was worried about you!" The priestess climbed on top of me and patted my head with her small hands.

"Um, Miko ......, you're the Goddess of Fate, aren't you?
"Yes, I am. It's been a while, Takatsuki Makoto.
 I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
 You've already seen her.

What was that cold attitude you had earlier?
"What? Well, I was so happy that I almost started laughing.
 You were just trying not to laugh!
 I was worried that I might have offended you somehow.

But I'm relieved too. I don't know anyone here.
"...... Thank you for your trouble, Takatsuki Makoto. ......
 The goddess of fate (Ila) hugged my head tightly.
 I'm not sure what to do.
 It's not as soft as Noah's or Eir's.

I'll even overlook that profane remark.
I'll overlook your profanity. ......
 It's been a while since I've had my mind read.

How did you know I was here, anyway?
I don't know who you are.
What?
I don't know you. - What? - You're not a believer in the Holy Tribe, are you? So I can not see the future of Takatsuki Makoto. But not Abel the brave. She's a hero and a priestess of the Sun Goddess. That's why I knew from my future vision that she would come to the Land of the Moon. But in the original history, the hero Abel came to the capital of the Moon Country (Rafiloig) at a much later time, so I figured out that Takatsuki Makoto was involved.
 I see. ...... also.

If that's the case, you could have contacted me earlier at .......
 I couldn't help but complain.

I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm not sure what to make of that. I even risked my life to build a base here. ......
That's ...... thank you.
 I was ashamed of what I had said.
 Well, we're in the middle of enemy territory.
 We should be grateful that they were waiting for us there.

That's all you need to know.
Can I stand up for now?
 Currently, I'm still being pushed down by the Goddess of Fate.
 If Momo sees me like this, I don't know what she'll say.  

"Oh, I see.
 As I said this, Ila-sama pulled away from me as if she had just noticed.
 Once again, I faced the goddess of fate (Ila) who was descending upon the small miko.
 There's a lot I want to talk about, but .......

By the way, ...... Ila-sama has memories of a time a thousand years from now, right?
Yes, I know that Makoto Takatsuki was an apostle of Noah and a hero of the Land of Water (Roses).
 That's reassuring.
 At that moment, a question came to my mind.

When did Ila and I first meet? Does this mean that Ila knew me before we met in the Land of the Sun (Highland) a thousand years later?
 I remembered the first time I had talked with Ila-sama, who had descended to Esther-san at Highland Castle.
 I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

Oh, ......, you're worried about the time paradox, aren't you? No, the first time I met Makoto Takatsuki was at Highland Castle a thousand years later. You should understand that. I can share memories of the past and the present, but I can only see into the future through a myriad of possibilities. And this time, by sending you to the past, the "original history" and the "altered history" are mixed up. Of all the goddesses, only the Goddess of Fate (me) can observe all history. There are countless futures, and the past is not fixed. The flow of time in the world is ambiguous.
"I see.
 I don't understand.

I told you. You don't have to worry about it. That's the job of the Goddess of Fate.
 I decided to accept the goddess' words.  
 Yes, the only thing I should care about is saving the world with Abel the hero.

 At that time, the goddess of fate (Ila) noticed something and looked at my face quizzically.

Takatsuki Makoto, ......, your status notation is garbled.
"Status?
Some parts are unreadable. ...... I think it's because I used time transfer. ......
Isn't that ...... bad for you?
 I hurriedly checked my soul book.


 There's nothing strange about this one.

It's just that ...... doesn't read the information correctly when you use the Appraisal skill. If you use appraisal, it'll look like you're trying to block appraisal.
So it's not a problem.
 I myself can check my soul book.
 Or rather, I've only been looking at my proficiency lately.
 Hmm? But then there's something weird.

Is that ......? But I've had my private life revealed to me by Mel and Abel with their appraisal skills. ......
Private?
No, you see, I'm not going to tell you ...... about my experience with women.
 It's a story I was embarrassed about just the other day.

 When the goddess of fate (Ila) heard this, she snickered.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
Can you please not be so specific?
You'll have plenty of lovers in a thousand years, so what are you doing? What are you doing? Herbivores will never catch on.
"......
 I've been practicing so much, I missed my chance.
 I didn't think I'd suddenly be thrown back a thousand years!
 Perhaps reading her mind, the Goddess of Fate's eyes became a little gentler.

"Momo-chan? She seems to like you.
I'm not a pedophile.
You're a man who cares about details.
Age does matter!
 What's this about? 
 I'll tell you what.

Let me back up. What do you think we should do?
Yeah, back to the point. Thanks to you, Abel the hero is alive. We can now avoid the history of defeating the Great Demon King. Now it's just a matter of timing, but ......, we've already changed history so much that we can't rely on the previous history. ......
"Is that so?
 I took out the picture book "The Legend of Abel the Brave".
 I flipped through the book and read it.

"Well, is it really time to defeat the Immortal King?
Yes, the Immortal King should have been defeated at this point.
I was aware of that. That's why I thought it would be better to defeat him as soon as possible. ......
You were stopped by your friends, right? I saw Abel's memories. But you're right.
Is that so?
How do you defeat the Immortal King ...... in the original history?
 Master Ila asked, and I read from my storybook.


 --Abel, the savior, joined forces with many heroes to defeat the Immortal King.
 But the sacrifice was not small.
 His mentors, Olga the Fire Brave, the Earth Brave, the Wood Brave, the Iron Brave, and the brave warriors of the forest, died without him.
 Abel, the great white sage, and Johnny, the archer, who survived the deadly battle with the demon king, went into hiding in the Great Labyrinth to avoid the black knight Cain's pursuit.
 In the depths of the labyrinth, there is a legendary holy dragon: ......

It's not very detailed, is it? This picture book. There are no concrete descriptions. ......
What are you talking about? The differences are clearly stated. 
"Really?
 I twisted my head.
 The main difference is that the Immortal King has not been defeated.
 Instead, the brave men of earth and wood are still alive.
 So, the difference is that you haven't defeated the Immortal King, but Olga, the fire hero, is dead.
 I knew I'd be filling in for her.

Can I? I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this site. By the Demon Lord Cain.
What?
It's not just that. The old dragons in the Great Labyrinth were also killed by Cain except for the white dragon. That's the original history. 
............
 I thought of the heroes in the Great Labyrinth, the elf girl who looked like Lucy, and the old dragons.
 I thought of the heroes in the Great Labyrinth, the elven girl who looked like Lucy, and the old dragons.
 But in the current history, they are still alive.
 Surely, then, history has changed a lot.
 But.

"Things are getting better, ...... aren't they?
 The brave men, as well as the beastmen and elves led by Jonny, were all strong warriors.
 I'm sure you're not the only one.
 It's better to be alive, of course.



 So things should be looking up.
 But when I asked, the Goddess of Fate (Ila) gave me a subtle look.
 ...... Why do you look like that?

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
"...... revenge?
 It's a great way to get to know a person.
 I'm sure you've heard of it.

Yes, it is. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it. That's what's going to help me defeat the Great Demon King. ......
 I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had it.
No, it's not! I'd prefer everyone to be alive! I'd rather they were alive! ...... But, you know, when I touched them earlier, I was checking my memory .......
"But?
But? - I think everyone is more relaxed than they were in the original history. ...... I think they lack spirit. ......
...... Are you sure about that?
 I suddenly felt uneasy.

It's okay! I've got an idea, so leave it to me!
 I'll leave it to you!" said the proud goddess of fate (Ila).
 My anxiety increased. .......

What?
"You've done a lot of things ...... before.
Ugh, ...... I'll never fail again!
Do you know if the God King has any illegitimate children?
We looked for him, ...... but he wasn't here at this time.
 They did look for him.
 He didn't?
 Too bad.
 Well, I'd hate to see someone like Alec.

After all, were you trying to tell us that history is changing in each individual story?
"Yes, that's true. I can't have anyone but you asking me about the changes in history.
 Well, that's true.

By the way, should I not tell my three friends that I'm from a thousand years from now? I'm keeping it a secret for now.
Sounds good. You can tell them that you came from a thousand years later. ...... Keep it a secret from the brave Abel that you believe in the same god as the demon king Cain. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
...... Shall we keep it quiet?
 At the moment, the relationship with Abel the hero is good.
 You don't need to go to the trouble of cracking it.

"Well, that being said... I wanted to praise you, Takatsuki Makoto, for a job well done.
 She smiled at me like a goddess, a ...... goddess.

I'll keep working on it.
I'm sure you'll be fine. By the way, is there anything you want?
What do you want?
Well... I can't do much right now because I'm not strong enough, but ...... I'm putting you through a lot. I'll do whatever I can to make it happen.
"............ Anything?
 Did you just say "anything"?
 Did you just say that?

No. ...... I'm the youngest of the goddesses, so I'm not very powerful, you know? I don't want to make too big a wish. ......
 Perhaps reading my mind, Ila retreated.
 Apparently, extremely reckless requests are not allowed.
 Then what about ......?



 I put my hand over my mouth and thought for a while.

 Then I had an idea.





"Can I see Noah at ......?

 Those were the words that came out of my mouth.
