I'm back in the white world.
　In front of me are the God of Creation and the Goddess of Memory.

I guess we can say goodbye safely.

Yes. Thank you.

Tina's memory is intact, isn't it?

Yeah, you said you'd never forget me.

"Mmm-hmm, I get it. You're lucky Tina's so devoted to you.

Halt, you said you were coming back to this world but I have no such plans.　Because transferring the same one over and over again wears away your soul.

Oh, that's ... maybe it's okay.

　Only the Creator God can transfer people from another world. If the Creation God doesn't transfer me, there's no chance that I'll be able to come here by transference.

　Nevertheless, when I was reunited with Tina, I was confident that the 'me' would definitely return to this world.

I'm not sure. So it's good, but... well, when you die, is there a possibility that the god of the other world will send your soul to us?

　How is that possible?

　Now that I can't use my intuition, I don't know if it's the right answer or not, but maybe 'I' can come back in that way.

Even if you come back, you won't be able to take over my status as a hero. But you have saved the world I love and many people. So I will give you a little of my blessing.

Oh, thank you!

"A blessing is not much of a blessing, is it?　I can't give you such a strong blessing for you to come at any time.

That's fine. By the way, what kind of blessing can you give me?

Hmm, the blessing I'm going to give you - no, let's not describe it. You'll have more fun with it when you come back to this world.

　After that, "I" was returned to the original world by the Creation God.

　A familiar park.
　A group of four people who look familiar are walking towards me.

　The four of them, Takato and the others who fought together in the other world for about half a year, and "I" pass each other silently.

　At this time, I had lost my memory of being in the other world for three years. And Takato and his friends have had their memories of the other world sealed away by the Creator God.

　You can't help but look back.
　Takato was looking at me, too.
　Our eyes met with Takato's.

　After a few seconds, we turned towards each other's progress.

'Takato, what's going on?'
No, it's just...
Are you shaking?　Are you okay?
I think I'm okay.
You're sweating profusely!
'I don't know ... I've been dreaming lately about someone hitting me with enough force to lose half my face.
""What?"

　I heard this conversation coming from behind me.

"How bad is it that I'm going to lose half my face?

　I muttered to myself.

　Completely forgetting that I was the one who had done it, the 'I' walked straight to my house.


　I stopped at a crosswalk. On the other side of the road, a girl of about five years old was standing on the other side.

　The girl was wearing all black clothes and her face - I don't remember her face for some reason.

　The pedestrian traffic light turned green, so I proceeded.

　I passed a girl dressed in black.
　The girl stopped walking on the crosswalk.

　The girl was still standing in the middle of the crosswalk when the "me" who had crossed the pedestrian crossing looked back somehow.


　Seriously?

　The "I" started to run.

　I'm going to be able to see a car coming towards the girl at a high speed.

　The light on the car side is red. You'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

　I" pushed the girl toward the sidewalk. The girl reached the sidewalk even though she was falling forward. I hope she wasn't injured.

　Meanwhile, "me"...

　A car was looming in front of me.
　I'm experiencing that thing where the world seems to be in slow motion when you're dying.

　I could see inside the car.
　The driver was asleep.

　d*mn it!　You're asleep at the wheel!

　So you don't apply the brakes at all, despite the fact that I jumped out of the way.

　As the iron lump closes in on me, I at least move my eyes to see what happened to the girl I saved.

　The girl who had fallen on the sidewalk was looking at me, her upper body upright.

　I'm glad she didn't seem to hit her head or anything.
　When I thought that...

"Kihihi.

　A sound containing an unworldly maliciousness escaped from the girl's mouth.

　With that scene as the last, "I"'s consciousness vanished.


　─ ─ ─ ********──.

　I am in a pure white space.
　In front of me is the Goddess of Memory.

　I got back the memories I offered to the Goddess.

　I finally understood when the memories that Goddess gave me back and my own memories were all present.

　I'm the 'guardian hero'.
　I'm the 'hero' that Tina fell in love with.

　And as soon as I returned to my home world, I was killed by an evil god and reincarnated.

　It's just a little bit of a return to the original world, but a hundred years seem to have passed over here.

Welcome back, Halt.

Goddess, I...

Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that.

　The goddess comforted me with pitying eyes. Maybe she's talking about being killed by the evil gods as soon as I got back to my original world.

　He thought I was holding a grudge against the evil gods.

　No, I don't.
　I only have one thing I want to say to the evil one now, and that's...

"Thank you"──.

　It was the evil gods who made me reincarnate.

　He allowed me to meet Tina again.
　You gave me the chance to spend time with Tina, and you gave me the opportunity to spend time with her.

　It gave me a chance to make Tina like me again.


　So, I can only be grateful for that now - or not.

　I was still afraid of dying, so if I met an evil god, I would say, 'Thank you very much! I'll just say, "I'll give it my best shot.

　Anyway, I was happy.

　My guardian hero was Haruto, Haruto was Haruto, and Haruto was me.

　Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying, but it made me so happy to find out that it was all 'me' who was loved by Tina in this world.

　I was actually quite jealous when I heard that Tina liked the guardian hero, I was actually quite jealous.

　But that guardian hero was me.
　I couldn't stop my cheeks from loosening up.

''You seem.......happy.

Yes!

Well, that's a good thing. Oh, and I'll give you back your coat.

　Saying this, the Goddess handed me two rings. It's a baboon ring I made.

''Are you sure?''

Yeah. I just kept it in case Tina ever remembered your name.

Thank you!


Well, you are done with me. Take care.
