An indescribable silence enveloped the surroundings due to White's statement that could upset the situation from the ground up.
　

''I've rewound the world's time back a bit. Today is the main festival of the once-a-decade Festival of Heroes. I'll explain about the movement between worlds and other things later, so enjoy the Festival of the Brave. Once you pass through that gate, you can each go back to where you belong.

　Come to think of it, I completely forgot about the ordeal but today is the 30th day of the heavenly moon. It's the day of the main festival of the once-a-decade Festival of Heroes.
　Some of the people gathered here are in positions of global importance, such as the Six Kings and the King. I don't know how much time actually passed during this ordeal, but Shiro-san apparently rewound the world's time until midnight, when the ordeal began.

　He told us that he would explain later on what can be obtained as a result of the world travel.

''Oh, and........God of Fate.
'What?　Yes, yes.....

　
　His body was trembling, and he even looked like a criminal awaiting judgment. I don't know what happened between the two of them, but I can't stand to see my lover, Fate-san, frightened.
So, just as I was about to take a step towards Fate-san's bottom, White-san opened her mouth.

''........God of Fate.......no, Fate......''
'What...?　

　In front of Fate, who involuntarily looked up in surprise when Shiro-san called her name, Shiro-san gave a thin smile.

''Well done, you have made a splendid growth in arriving at my true intentions. I'm........proud of you.
'What?　

　I didn't understand the meaning of the words that were announced.......but I understood that Shiro-san was praising Fate-san.
　Fate-san's voice trembled as if she was overcome with emotion, and she bowed her head deeply again with tears streaming down her face.

''God of Time and Space, God of Life.''
Ha!
I'm not saying that you were wrong in your choices, but when you saw Fate grow up, you had doubts about her. But when you saw the growth of Fate, it caused you to lose your mind, didn't it?　The answer that Fate gave might be the right one. Maybe we are wrong........but you guys didn't weigh that hesitation against your own hearts, you gave up on hesitation itself. 'We shouldn't think...'...
"...and...

　When Shiloh's expression returns to its usual blank expression, Klonoa and Leif are unable to say anything but bow to him.
　It seems that Shiro-san's words have something in mind for them.

You are not puppets. This can be said of other lower-tier and higher-tier gods as well.......I didn't 'create the divine race so that they can't grow'. Don't stop thinking, but get lost. And find yourself. It doesn't mean that you have to be the same as Fate. Even if the answer you get is the same, the answer you get from worrying and the one you get from stopping to think will have different weight. Find yourselves, not anyone else's...I look forward to your future growth.
Ha!

　After saying words of guidance to Kronor-san and Leif-san........and not only that, but to the entire divine race, Shiro-san disappeared with the light.
　Somehow, even without any inflection, I could feel the warmth of Shiro-san's words.......like a parent caring for the divine race.







　Watching those who were trying to return to their original place through the gate after Shalovanal left, Alice exchanged a few words with Iris in her mind.

(Umm, I didn't expect that Sharovanal-sama didn't have that intention....
You've always read it as a possibility.
(Haha, well, I'm glad it's all settled.)
(...after all, the last trump card I had prepared was in vain.)

　Alice had really prepared for every eventuality when it came to this battle.
　The reason why Alice made Kaito learn the mind tool was not because she expected that strength. The real purpose was to secure 'Kaito's mind backup' within Hecaton Cale.

(Well, even I didn't want to do something like that to override Kaito-san's mind, and as a result, I'm glad I didn't have the opportunity to use it.
(Well I suppose in a way it was the best possible outcome. I don't know what it was like for the Creator God.
(...that's the thing. It means it's not my place to go from here.)

　After finishing her conversation with Iris, Alice approached Kaito, who was staring in the direction where Sharovanal had disappeared, and lightly tapped him on the back and smiled.

''Well then, Kaito-san...see you later.''
Oh...

　Alice, who had guessed what Kaijin was going to do, said that and pushed him back in the distance. Seeing that Kaijin nodded firmly at her words, he laughed happily.......








　Instead of seeing those who had gathered in the divine realm go back through the gate in order and return to their original place, Sharovanar gazes at the world quietly at the edge of the divine realm.

''........Was this good?''

　At the question that was quietly announced, Shalovanal turned around and saw Eden, who had appeared before he knew it.
　Sharovanal looked at Eden once, then returned his gaze again and opened his mouth.

''........Yes. I was 'lost' until just before............................but I couldn't choose the option of erasing Kaito-san's memories.

　Yes, it is true that Shalovanal had no intention of stealing Kaito's memories in this ordeal. But that doesn't mean she didn't think about it per se.
　In fact, she had been lost until just before. You will be able to find out whether you want to erase the memories of the pleasant person and aim for the ending that you wanted, or whether you will affirm the present pleasant person in a different way.

The current kaijin may not be the same as the one I wanted. This world today may not be the happy future I had hoped for. But.... the person who actually taught me about feelings and made me fall in love with him is "Kaito-san" now.

　With a sad face, Eden does not change her expression towards Sharovanal, who tells her to give up something with a lonely face.

''I see......... Well, as far as I'm concerned, as long as my child is happy, I have no complaints.
I went to a lot of trouble for you.
I don't mind. But one thing you mustn't do is underestimate your darling child. Even if this is not what you hoped for, now, I'm sure you'll understand what it's like to be happy. You'll know what happiness feels like...
....

　With that, Eden disappeared, leaving only Shalovanal in his place. And after a little while, she turned around at the sound of footsteps she heard.
　There stood the person she most wanted to see right now....and at the same time, the person she least wanted to see right now.

Yes, the series of battles involving this world is not a story about a being named Shalovanal who fell in love with the future and gave up the future she couldn't have.......but rather a story about her giving up the future she couldn't have.
　It's a story about a woman who couldn't get the future she wanted... and yet she becomes happier than she ever was.
