“Huh? Tia?”As I was called by name, I found Tia’s face before me. To me, who was still somewhat confused, Tia furrowed her eyebrows slightly and spoke.
“…Hey, what’s really going on? The light from the door seems to have stopped.”
“Huh!? Oh, yeah…?”
Returning my gaze, indeed, the door was no longer emitting light. Unconsciously, my left hand, which had been gripping the knob, easily released its hold.
(Maybe that was all a dream… Nah, it couldn’t be. Like, my soul got taken away or something?”)
Originally, there were many things about this “door” world transfer that I didn’t understand. My speculation was that every time, only the soul was transferred, given the rewind of my body and equipment. It made me think that the body constantly underwent disassembly and regeneration.
In that case, maybe what just happened was cleverly utilizing that mechanism, calling only the consciousness or soul? Yeah, that’s probably it. I mean, I was floating.
“Hey, Tia. I just met a god.”
“….Ed, you seem tired. Come on, let’s take a little break here, shall we?”
“No way! I seriously met them! I was kinda floating in this dark world… uh, could you stop looking at me like that?”
Receiving a gaze filled with pity and kindness, I instinctively leaned on her. Tia then playfully smiled and patted my head.
“Fufu, I got it. I was just teasing you a bit.”
“Wha—!? How wicked… an elf like you!”
“Eek!”
In return, I lightly pulled Tia’s ear. Tia then pinched my cheek, so I pinched her nose, and in this child-like play, after about a minute, Tia, who let go first, breathed out contentedly.
“Fufufu, that was fun! So, you met the god… um, Nuoh-sama, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Oh. I’ve never met a god, but what kind of person… God were they? Did they shine brightly, like, sparkle?”
“They didn’t shine. Rather, they looked like a fish.”
“A fish? Like Ginta?”
“No, not like those fish people. Just an ordinary fish that swims in a nearby river.”
“Huh…?”
“But, it was huge! That fish’s left eye was the world we were in until a moment ago. Yeah, it was enormous.”
“Uh, sorry. I think I understood, but I can’t quite imagine it…”
“No, it’s okay. It’s difficult for me to express it in words too.”
Nuoh may be described as just a “stupidly huge fish” in words, but its presence truly felt like that of a God. I was fine, but ordinary people might immediately prostrate themselves, or one could say that they’d be crushed by a presence akin to divine authority.
“So, what did you talk about?”
“Oh, right—”
At Tia’s request, I began explaining the conversation I had with Nuoh. After hearing it all, Tia tilted her head and spoke.
“I see… so for Eld, the world of this cycle might have been the best, right?”
“Huh?”
“Because in other worlds, Eld would just be considered a Demon King, right? In that case, wouldn’t the outcome be different from what we saw this time?”
“Yeah, that’s true…”
This time, because of the unfairness of directly speaking to a God, I got to know the truth. Otherwise, our source of information was mostly from Ginta’s stories… meaning Eld would be treated as the “Demon King who plunged the world into chaos.”
In that scenario, it didn’t seem like Eld left behind the key to undo his seal like this time, and if I were asked why I bothered defeating the sealed Demon King, it would be quite debatable.
“So, the troublesome ‘fragments of god’ did a good job this time. Well, there’s a lot of damage caused by that, but it’s hindsight, I guess.”
Even villains have their benefits. Regardless of being a harmful presence in the world, the work of defeating them could be profitable… In other words, there’s no such thing as something without value in this world. This time, that’s exactly it. But that doesn’t mean I approve of what the ‘fragments of god’ did or their existence…
“Well, isn’t that fine? We’re not gods after all, so we just do our best with what we can. Oh, or is Ed aiming to become a god?”
“I have no such intention at all, but is the direction I’m aiming at close to that?”
To Tia’s innocent question, I pondered, twisting my head. I’d rather not take up such a pompous and bothersome position, but as Nuoh said, if I were to punch a god, I’d need appropriate power.
It’s not like becoming huge equals becoming a god, but if there’s a condition to becoming a god, like gaining immense power or becoming a significant entity, could it be possible? I kind of feel that way, somehow.
“Hmm. Ed as a god, huh?”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Do you have something to say?”
“Not really. I’m just saying, even if everything becomes completely transparent, it’s not good to peek at a girl changing her clothes too much, you know?”
“I’m not peeking!? Besides, the only one I’ve peeked at is you, Tia!”
“Huh, really? Well then… how should I react?”
“…However you want.”
As Tia began to wonder whether to get angry or be happy, I let out a deep sigh and left the place. My destination was the shelf where the {Records Of The Hero’s Story} were stored. There were only three volumes now: the 051, 001, and the book from the world with the Black Knight. I picked up the book from Ginta’s world, which had normal contents, and flipped through its pages.
“…Seems impossible.”
“What’s wrong, Ed?”
“No, remember I told you I received blessings from Nuoh? Well, one of those was to ‘restrain alterations in the {Records Of The Hero’s Story}’. Look, the contents of Ginta’s world’s book are ordinary, right?”
“Oh, so that’s what it meant! Yeah, yeah, that’s fine! Lately, there’ve been a lot of unpleasant expressions, even though everyone’s been trying so hard.”
“Yeah, I think so too… but it seems like changing the already written content is impossible.”
If I had the power, I’d want to properly depict Jeed’s regret and the Black Knight’s achievements. Nico’s side was still fine, Nico and the others are still fine, but this side has been blank from the start
Well, if things were going to be decent from now on,, I’d wholeheartedly welcome it. At least it’s a thousand times better than seeing the God cry every time. Frankly, even if I were forced to read it again, my impression would still be like, “So what?”
“I see. Well, it’s fine. Even if it’s not written here, we understand and remember everyone properly. So, is that all for the protection you received from Nuoh?”
“No, actually, this is just a bonus. There’s another main one.”
At Tia’s further inquiry, I smirked. Yes, this was more of a service, as there’s another proper protection.
So, I returned to the door and gripped the knob of the next world’s door, which hadn’t been opened yet.
“Ed? W-You’re going to the next world already?”
“Just watch.”
If I were to open the door like this, we would land in the next world. However, while concentrating in that state, a faint blue line of light emerged from Nuoh’s ring on my index finger, ran across the surface of the door, and returned back into the ring.
At that moment, information about the “world beyond the door” entered my mind. I see, the next world is—!?
“Heh, hehehe… I see, this is good. It’s excellent, Nuoh!”
“Ed!? What’s wrong!?”
I suddenly shouted, surprising Tia. But, it was me who was rather surprised.
“Listen, Tia. Pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you.”
This was surely the trump card that will help to turn the tables against the God, the first and last step to overturn the guaranteed bad ending. Hehehe, until now, I’ve been at the mercy of the God… but this time, I’ll resist a bit, okay?
(T/N: Had my exams, will resume posting regularly from now on, sorry for the wait)
