The next thing I knew, I was in a strange place.
　The entire surface of the space is light pink.

　When I looked down, there was no bottom.
　My body was floating in the air.

　When I looked up, there was no ceiling.
　I checked the front, back, right and left, but I couldn't see the end.

　Perhaps the concept of space doesn't exist in this world.
　In this world.

　And then you realize.

　This is a dream.
　After that, I went to bed with Julia and Tetra.

　And after making a baby, I meditated.
　After that, I couldn't remember a thing.

　Don't have weird dreams.
　Wake up, now.



　-Yeah, we don't want you to wake up.


　It sounded like a child. I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.
　But I have a vague feeling that it was a woman.

　I check my surroundings, but there's no sign of her.


　-Oh, you can hear me properly, nice to meet you. I'm ... do you know my name without saying it? -

　...a fairy.

　-Correct!　You're a very quick learner.

　What the hell do you want?

　-Hmm, you're cooler than I thought. We could have something productive to talk about. Shouldn't have been shy about talking to you in the first place, huh? -

　What do you want?　That's what I've been hearing.
　I'm busy.
　I need to rest my head.

　I need to finish my business and get to REM sleep.


　-Well, I think it's more of an errand for you, don't you?　I'm sure you have questions for me. -

　Why did you give me a blessing?
　You invited me into this world?


　-Hmmm, that's the question I was hoping for. I gave you a blessing because it's useful. Isn't it helpful?　The only reason you were able to beat Mari was because I had loosened the fetters on your ability to bless.

　Why did you call the world?

　-I called it........well, there's a perception gap. Do you know why people cross over and reincarnate in the first place? -

　I don't know. That's what I'm asking.

　-Reverse causation and the power of fate are involved.

　What is it?　
　It's...

　-You know that this thing called time has countless branches, right?　It's what we call a world line. Well, to put it plainly - Yulia and Tetra are happy now because of you. There are many other people who have become happy. And you yourself have come to this world and are enjoying it as much as you can-


　So?

　-And you think, "Wow! I'm glad you have Almus. I'm glad I'm from another world. This thought affects the past. This is one of the requirements for inter-world transference.

　...Isn't that absurd?
　The idea that the past is determined by the future is a perversion.

　-Why don't you tell me?　We don't know much about it, either. Maybe I'm wrong.

　And I'm not sure you're even sure you're right.

　-Hmm, well, I suppose it's up to you whether you believe it or not. Now, back to the matter at hand. Next is fatalism. This is the ability to choose our own future or past. This varies from person to person but the sum total of this fate power is the strength of its influence on reverse causation. A lot of people wanted to reincarnate in another world and you wanted the stimulus deep down. So the conditions were right-


　So, you don't think you guys called him out?

　-We can push back and manipulate the times and places we fly to a certain extent, but we don't have the power to cross the boundaries of the world. We don't have the power to cross the borders of the world. Also, the only reason you reincarnated is because you died right before the transference. I only crossed over in spirit. And by chance, you accidentally accidentally ingested the soul plant, which led to the empty vessel of a child.


　Master Gryphon said he'd never seen a reincarnation before, but is it rare?


　-I don't know.　The ratio might not change that much. It's rare for people to die at the same time the conditions are met, but just because the conditions are met doesn't mean they can transfer. It's easier to cross the boundary line if there are only souls without the constraints of the physical body. ........well, there's a difference between passing an elephant through a needle hole and a rat, though. They're both difficult to do.


　Well, if you can get a rat through a needle hole, you can probably get an elephant through it too.
　
　They're going to think I'm crazy.

　So, why did you give me your blessing?
　That doesn't really explain it.

　
　-We're in a bit of a pickle, you know? Um, Mari would you be more comfortable with Merlin?　She's going to break the laws of the world. By making magic. We're trying to prevent that from happening. When you're king, you're bound to run into Merlin, and that's the way it should be.

　You guys could give them the right blessing and let them run wild, right?


　-Merlin has another elf with him. They get in the way. They're the innovators and we're the conservatives, or should I say the conservatives.　We live trapped in the laws of the world. We think of the world as a safe place, a place where we can't be attacked by outside forces. But they think of the world as a prison. So they want to destroy the world--



　Hmmm....
　I knew it. You could kill a man if you wanted to.

　-Don't get me wrong. We avoid messing with people as much as we can. We only give out blessings as long as they're needed.


　What about Alice's father?
　Was that necessary too?


　-We have our own factions. It wasn't the conservatives or the innovators who gave Alice's father his blessing and let him run amok. If I had to choose, I'd say the fun-loving faction.　They think of the world as a toy, a playground. So they think humans are toys given to them, too. They're a terrible bunch of people -

　Are you the ones who gave Julia all these blessings?
　You're pro-novelist?　Are you a pleasure-seeker?


　-It was none of those things. What I gave you was a favoritism, if you will.　Oh, you know, the kind of people who give a lot of blessings and favors to people who become singularities and people they like.

　Singularity?

　-He's the key to history. History splits into myriad branches, but somewhere along the line it all converges once. The Adelian Peninsula, for example, will eventually be unified. I don't know if it will be an Adelian or Gallic initiative. But if it is led by the Adelians, the Adelian peninsula will be united by the people who took Julia as their wife, or their descendants. That is what it is supposed to be.


　So you're sure I can unify?

　-It's a case of an Adelian initiative. It could also be Gaulish-led. For instance, it wouldn't have mattered if you'd lost that war to Roselle.


　From what I've been hearing, it sounds like you know the future, but....
　Can you predict the future?

　-You can't. We are higher beings than you are, and we know all sorts of things, and we can make predictions and assumptions from them. But we are bound by time. What's left of it is none of our business.


　I thought you were all-powerful.　
　I should've known you could do anything.


　-If we can do something, we can recreate it. What we can't do is reanimate the dead or immortality. Go back in time or stop time. Perpetual motion. Creation of something out of nothing. Around here?　This area is contraindicated unless you use magic, which is impossible.


　Oh, yeah....
　By the way, why is this coming out now?

　-Merlin is perfecting his magic. You've seen her possession spell, right?　It's something that pulled down Etzel's information from the Akashic Records and created a pseudo personality. Merlin doesn't have access to the Akashic Records, and he didn't bring back the dead, but it's as close to magic as you can get. But it's as close to magic as you can get.


　How could you let it get to this point?
　But just so you know, I'm not going to help you.

　If Merlin turns on me, I'll beat him, but if Merlin doesn't turn on me anymore, I won't kill him.
　There would be a lot of damage.

　-That's all well and good. You will run into each other at some point. And if you ever need a favor, you can wish for it. I'll be as accommodating as I can.


　Suddenly my vision began to blur.
　Slowly, my consciousness faded away.

　In the midst of my fading consciousness, the fairy's voice echoed....


　-One last word of advice. If you see a fairy with a first-person "I" in the picture, be careful. They're hedonists. They're deceitful. Don't worry. You're a force of nature. They won't be able to give you their blessing if you refuse...
