What?

　What? Why?
　Why is my old world's name on that monument?

Mr. Hurt, can I help you?

　Luna doesn't know my original name. Therefore, my name would never have come out of her mouth.

　Unless, indeed, my name is written on the stone monument.


The brave man who trudged through this dungeon with me was also named Halt──Oh, that's.......?

　Tears were flowing from Tina's eyes.

'Hey, why?　I can't stop crying.

　Tina seemed to have regained her memory regarding the name of her guardian's hero.

'Master Hurt........'

　Tina came to the side of the stone monument. Now, Tina probably called out to the brave one, Hurt.

　Tina touched the monument...


　At that moment, something else flooded my mind again. It was the memory of me touching the monument.

　But it was a little different from what I had seen earlier.
　Tina was beside me.

　And my face was reflected in the black stone monument with its polished surface.
　

　The me of the original world before my reincarnation.


　─ ─ ─ ─ The face of the original world before my reincarnation.

　Next thing I know, I'm in a world of pure white.

'Oh dear, I'd like to see the contract end here.

　I turned around to face the direction the voice had come from.
　The immensely beautiful woman was there, smiling gently.

''You ... are ... the goddess of memory.

　I know her.

'Mmmm, long time no see. Halt.

It's been a while I'm sorry I broke my contract with you.

　I had made a deal with her.

No, it's totally fine. My contract with Hurt put an awful lot of faith in me.

　There are three agreements I made with the Goddess of Memory.


　I will lose all memory of my time in this world.

　All the inhabitants of this world will forget my name.

　And the feelings of the inhabitants of this world for me who have forgotten my name will be transformed into "faith" and become food for the Goddess of Memory.
　

　That was the contract.

　The "feelings" are their gratitude and love for me. The gratitude of the inhabitants of the country and town I saved a hundred years ago will all be transformed into faith and sent to the goddess.

　In return for that contract, what I received from the Goddess of Memory is...


　A magical tool to protect Tina. And it was only a few moments before he had to give it to Tina.

　That's all.

　But at the time, I desperately needed that pause.


　The contract with the goddess was broken when Tina remembered my name.

'The magic tool is already broken, and Tina has regained her memory. But I'm happy with the fact that you've already given me so much faith.

　The Goddess smiled.

'I didn't expect Hurt to come back at all in the first place.

Yeah me too.

　I'm starting to regain my memories of being in this world in bits and pieces. I remembered things like the time I made a contract with the Goddess.

''Then I'll give you back the memories of Hurt that I got.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Of course!　I've had enough fun.

　With that, the goddess moved her face closer to mine.

　I could feel a soft touch on my lips.
　The Goddess's clear skin was in front of me


　***

　This place......

　I've seen this place before.

　No, I wasn't walking on it. Even so, the body moves forward on its own.

　It was as if I was sitting in the cockpit of a humanoid robot that moved automatically, and I was sharing the robot's view there.

　I stopped at an intersection.
　A car passed in front of me.

　I wasn't in the world where Tina and the others were now, but the world I was from.

　But I didn't come back to the world I came from.


　This is my memory.

　My body moves on regardless of my intentions.

　That's right, I'm going to be swallowed up by the god of another world in the park ahead of me.

　I know it, but I can't stop.


　I'm at the park. I pass this park every day on my way to and from my home and high school. I'm on my way home from school now.

　Four familiar people are coming towards me.

　They are Takato, Daichi, Yuri, and Kana, who are about to be summoned by an otherworldly god. They were students from another school that went to a cram school near my high school.

　They are also my friends who will spend about a year with me to defeat the Demon Lord of another world.

　We pass Takato and his friends in the middle of the park.

　At that moment, our footsteps shine.


　It's here!
　It's an invocation by an otherworldly god.

　My body is pulled somewhere. I'm used to shifting by myself, but being forced to move by someone else is somehow uncomfortable.

　And then...


"Help me.

　I heard a voice that seemed to disappear at any moment.

　It was Tina's voice.

　Because I heard this voice, I was able to save Tina from being attacked by a demon.

　Well, because I didn't get any skills or status from God, I'm going to have a lot of trouble.......

　It doesn't matter.

　Now, it's 'me' in my memory!
　Now go get Tina.

　Don't worry, Sarion will be here to help you soon.

　All you have to do is stall for time!


　Face to face with God.
　Probably the greatest of all the gods.
　I feel like he's more powerful than the evil gods.

　To such a god, 'I' asked him to transfer immediately.

　That's right. That's fine.

　God is getting a little impatient. The 'I' at the time didn't realize it, but it may have been an unreasonable request to the gods as well.

　At any rate, the "me" was given level 30 status and a skill that allowed me to move to another world.

　Now, go for it, "I"!
　I don't care if it's disgusting or not.


　We're going to save Tina anyway!
