“Phew… Okay. Looks like we got back normally, at least,” he said.Having confirmed that we had returned to the <White World> without any particular issues, I quickly looked around. Hmm, there doesn’t seem to be any problem with this…
“Ah!?”
“Whoa!? Tia, what’s wrong!?”
“My bed is gone!”
“Bed…? Oh, come to think of it…”
Upon reflection, all the furniture that Tia had procured in Master’s world had vanished completely…!?
“What, my magic furnace is gone too!? No way, it was expensive!”
“Uuh, I really liked it, too…”
Slumping dejectedly next to me, Tia also let her ears droop sadly. Grr, if I’d known it would disappear, I would have bought more the other day… Well, did I put it in the [Stranger Box] in the first place?
“But why now and not before?” she asked.
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“Because look, last time when it shook, the doors and everything disappeared, right? I understand if it had all vanished then, but why now?”
“That is… certainly true.”
I tilted my head at Tia’s naive question. If everything in the room had been reset, it would have made sense for the furniture and the magic furnace to have disappeared at that time. But in reality, they were still there normally until we departed for the 51st world, and then vanished by the time we returned.
“Umm…?”
But even thinking about it, there was no way to understand the reason. I briefly checked where the magic furnace had been, but unlike in the normal world, in this white world there were no stains, dirt, or even accumulated dust to leave a trace.
“Just to confirm, it’s not stored somewhere, right? Tia, can you check with the [Single Bank]?”
“I got it. Let’s see… Nope, it’s not there. Sigh, we’ll have to buy it again. Hey Ed, that aside, let’s read the usual one quickly!”
“Oh, right… Huh?”
As I looked at the table as usual, there was a brown leather-covered book with {Record Of The Hero’s Story} written in gold foil. But next to it on the shelf, there was another book for some reason.
“Everything was supposed to have vanished, right? Why is there another book?”
Suspicious, I picked it up and opened the pages. What was written there was…
“What… is this…!?”
“Ed? What’s wrong?”
Tia came over, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the book. It was the {Record Of The Hero’s Story} — the same one I’d read at the beginning of the third loop.
“Why is this book here!? Could it be…!?”
I quickly looked around, but there were no differences to be seen. If my suspicions were correct, this wasn’t the <White World> where Tia and I usually return too.
“The third loop’s room…!? No, but then, the door…!?”
“Ed! Hey Ed! What on earth is going on!?”
Tia shook my shoulder violently, causing my head and vision to shake, but it helped me regain some composure.
“Ah, sorry. I just noticed something strange… Well, I don’t have proof.”
“What’s strange? What?”
“…I think this isn’t the <White World> where we placed various things, but the <White World> where the dead me was sent out again. Look, here.”
I handed her the {Record Of The Hero’s Story} , and Tia frowned as she read.
“This is the story of our adventure in the world where I… where Ed died…!?”
“Yeah, that’s right. I think this is probably the room of the third loop. The bed and magic furnace are gone because they’re probably placed in the room of the second loop.”
“Fuu~, is that so… Wait, does that mean a new room is created every time we loop?”
“…Maybe. I don’t know.”
“I see. Well, if that’s the case, it can’t be helped. Now that we know the reason, let’s pull ourselves together and read the proper {Record Of The Hero’s Story}, shall we?”
“No, no, no, isn’t that a light reaction? Is that okay?”
“What’s good or bad, there’s nothing particularly troublesome, right? We can’t go to the previous room to get the bed anyway.”
“That is… huh?”
When said, indeed, there was nothing troubling. Nothing but… if there was nothing, is that okay?
“Uh, sorry, I made a weird fuss.”
“Fufu, it’s fine. Come on, hurry up!”
“Alright!”
Urged by Tia, I finally opened the {Record Of The Hero’s Story} of the ○51st world. There, the exploits of Hero Zied were written, but the description ended with him being killed by the Winged, and the pages continued blank afterward.
“What’s this? This isn’t the end, right?”
The usual lines weren’t written, and still nearly half the pages remained. Reluctantly flipping through them, I finally found a page with text written again near the end.
“Oh, from here it’s Jill-chan’s story, right?”
“Looks like it.”
What was written there was the story of the three years that Jill, who became a hero, traveled with us. Then the gap in between might be the part about the Black Knight? Certainly, a demon king being a hero is not normal at all. Was that why it couldn’t be described? By the way, is this something written by God? If so, was the inner heart of the Demon King, who is the same existence as me, unreadable to God?
“Ah, Ed! It seems like this is the end.”
“Oh, right.”
Having traveled together, there was nothing particularly new, and I had become somewhat distracted, but Tia called out to me. Focusing my attention on the description in the book… there was something very unsettling written there.
– 1st World {Record Of The Hero’s Story} Final Chapter; Arrogant Choice
Thus, Hero Jill successfully expelled the root of all evil, the Demon King, from the world, but the responsibility of pursuing his desires by rejecting God’s order will surely return to this world as a major collapse.
For its foolishness, its shallowness is human karma, but God silently shed a tear of sorrow for having chosen the path of suffering by refusing salvation.
“What does ‘major collapse’ mean? Is there still something in that world?”
“It feels like it, yeah. But…”
I looked back at the door, making an uneasy expression at Tia. One of the two doors that have increased should lead to the 51st world we came from, but we basically can’t open it again.
“Honestly, there’s not much we can do. It’s not impossible to return to that world once more if we do something reckless, but first, we don’t know what this ‘major collapse’ means.”
Extremely speaking, we were able to solve this problem because the enemy “with wings” was the culprit. If this had taken the form of an earthquake or tsunami, a natural disaster trying to destroy the world, I couldn’t have done much.
“That’s true. I’m very, very curious, but… there’s nothing we can do.”
“Not for now. But if the next world is also involved in this collapse, solving it there may reveal some clues. Let’s start with what we can do, instead of lamenting what we can’t.”
“You’re right. Yeah, we shouldn’t just worry; we need to look forward and try our best! Let’s go right away!”
With that, Tia ran towards the door, and I also stood up, glancing at the crystal ball on the table.
“…Speaking of which, this isn’t shining, is it?”
Not shining means no new power can be obtained. Although this is different from before… it’s not strange if you consider this is my third round, Tia’s second, that we can’t accumulate more power, right?
“Ed! Hurry up! Let’s go quickly!”
“Don’t rush me like that. The other world isn’t going anywhere.”
Throwing such doubts aside, I followed Tia, laughing.
