565-"The Fallen Future"






 It happened 1020 years after the Treaty of Friendship the year of the 102nd Festival of Heroes.
The summons from another world that has already been repeated more than 100 times. Each country has been doing it on a rotating basis, and this year is the year that the Arklesia Empire is in charge.................The first irregularity has occurred.
Two otherworldly people appeared from the summoning of the heroes, which would normally be only one person. One was undoubtedly the hero of this time, but the other was an irregularity in every sense of the word.

 Since the signing of the friendship treaty, the summoning magicians have been adjusted to summon people close to the age of the first heroes when they were invited, and the visiting Otherworlder was supposed to be in his or her late teens.
 However, the other one who appeared was '23 years old'....an existence that should not be possible. His name was 'Miyama Kaito'........the first clear irregularity since the Friendship Treaty.......

 The presence of this Miyama Kaito made the Marquis of the Archlesia Empire, who was in charge of this summoning, hold his head in his hands. It was an unprecedented situation in the past and he didn't know how to deal with it.
 Even though it was an irregularity, he couldn't treat the otherworldly beings who were the same hometown as the first hero with impunity. However, he didn't know how to deal with a clearly alien being.
 As a result, Kaito was carefully protected in that marquis' family, as if he were handling a boil.

 It may sound good to say that he is careful. It's not that Kaito was treated unfairly, but rather too sluggishly and politely. Rather, he was treated politely to the point of being too sluggish.
 Is that why? He was suddenly transported to a world he didn't know, and the way he handled the boils stung him badly.
 He is not being treated unfairly. But it's not like he's being welcomed, either. The environment in which he was forced to realize that he was an irregular, made the loneliness in his heart grow.
 The most ironic thing is that he had a magical talent for sensing magic, although even he didn't realize it....

 I knew........that I was not welcome.......

 I know........that I'm not welcomed.......that I'm not wanted......

 I understand........that I don't belong here.......

 As a result, Kaito was confined to his room in the mansion and rarely went out anymore. Even the Marquis, who was in charge of him, turned a blind eye to it, as he hoped to get through the year of his stay without any trouble.
 And Kaito would not just spend a year just enduring the year with painful loneliness as it was.......

 So, there was an entity that found the half-reclusive Kaijin in the Marquis family and took an interest in him. It was the god of this world, the god of creation, Sharovanal.
 She took an interest in the Irregulars and invited him to the divine realm... or forcibly kidnapped him and drank tea with him.

 And then, perhaps from a whim, Sharovanal proposed to Kaito. ''If you want power, I'll give it to you........''
 To that suggestion, Kaito, whose heart was weak, stretched out a trembling hand, and while turning his eyes to Shalovanal as if he was clinging.......still, he 'refused' the suggestion.

 He didn't know the reason, etc. But somehow, I felt that if I accepted it, I would never get what I wanted.

 However, the change that the answer brought to Sharovanal was dramatic. Sharovannal, who liked the way the pleasant man's mind was, proposed to him. 'Why don't you stay in the divine world (here)?' And..........
 Although it could be said to be sudden, Kaito........accepted the proposal.

 At first, Kaito was puzzled by Shalovanal's expressionless and inflectionless voice, but for better or worse, Shalovanal was a natural with a deer in the head.
 The manner in which he unreservedly stepped into his heart was terribly comforting to him, who had been treated as a swollen thing.

 And since he began to stay in the divine world, Kaito began to change a little bit. The divine race treated the Kaijin with a certain amount of courtesy, as they were the ones that Sharovanar had invited, but it was not excessive.
 In particular, the three supreme gods cared for him as he was caught up in the summoning, and they were friendly to him.

 And above all, in the days spent with Sharovanal, who was somewhat dumb, but showed straightforward goodwill, Kaito's heart, which had been shut up in a shell, was saved.
 When it is alone with Kaito, she sometimes smiles at him.

 You will find a lot of people who have a lot of experience in this field.

 He regains his original strength of mind and comes into contact with the Six Kings and the Kings of the Human World, whom he met through Sharovanal's introduction, and brings about changes in many of them.
 Even though more and more people took a liking to Kaito and his days in this world became full of happiness for him, Shalovanal was always in the deepest part of Kaito's mind.

 And then.........next to Kaito, who shared his feelings with her and decided to remain in this world, there was the figure of Shalovanal with a soft smile, as if the expressionless days were a lie.








 

 Originally, it was supposed to be that way. It was supposed to have moved to become so.

 But fate had 'moved the needle forward through the intervention of a third party'.

 The misaligned gears changed the future that was supposed to come to us into something far removed from what it was supposed to be.

 One thing.........Miyama Kaito was not the 'only irregular' but one of the three people involved. The existence of someone who was in the same situation as him, which resulted in a great relief to his heart.

 One thing.........that Lilia Alberto, who had performed the summoning, was not a nobleman-like nobleman, but a kind-hearted woman. She never treated the pleasant man as if he were a boil, but took the initiative to talk to him like a friend and faced him with sincerity. This would greatly relieve the loneliness he felt.

 One thing.........it was Crom Eina, not Shalovanal, who saved Miyama Kaito. I couldn't help it. Because when Sharovanal realized the existence of Kaito, he had already been saved.......







 The central tower rises in the city where the Six Kings Festival is held. Standing at the top of it, Shalovanal watched the figure of the pleasant man walking towards the central tower.
  --And I wanted to be.

 But it's all too late now. The future that Shalovanal wanted spilled out of her hands.

"Mr. Kaito. Why didn't you...show up after 20 years?

 She muttered that in a voice that no one could hear, and Sharovanal disappeared.

 Not everything is different from the future she saw. In fact, even in this present, Kaito has won the interest of Shalovanal.
 However, there is also something decisively different. For her, there is one thing that she just can't give up....

 No one can notice it. No, there is no way to notice it. Because she only speaks "the word" to a pleasant person.
 Even pleasant people are not aware of it. No, I don't know.


 That's right - Miyama Kaito became - of Sharrowvanal.


 But - Shallowvanal did not become - of Miyama Kaito.........
