Chapter 389: If It Doesn’t Exist, Then We Should Create It Ourselves

“Then, Ed, shall we read our usual book?”“Yeah, sounds good.”
As if concluding our conversation, Tia released my hand and moved towards the table with lively steps. Following her lead, I arrived shortly after, only to hear Tia’s voice filled with confusion.
“Huh, what’s this!?”
“Hm? What’s wrong, Tia?”
“It’s gone! The book is nowhere to be found!”
“The {Record Of The Hero’s Story} is missing…?”
I looked at the table as well, and indeed, there was nothing there. It was not on the floor, nor was it in the bookshelf. I momentarily considered the possibility, but it didn’t seem like it’d fall from the sky either.
“What could this mean? Is it possible for that book to not exist? Or maybe, did the blessing received by you rewrite its contents, causing the God to be upset and stop writing it?”
“Well, that would be a bit…”
While it seems somewhat plausible that the God would behave in such a human-like manner… no, it’s possible, but it’s unlikely they would go as far as such petty harassment. Considering their priorities, it’s doubtful they’d leave me, who abandoned the body of a human puppet, unattended just to prevent that book from appearing.
“Hmm… ah, I think I get it.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“Remember, the world we were banished from earlier didn’t have a hero, right? So maybe that’s why the {Record Of The Hero’s Story} isn’t showing up.”
“Huh? Wasn’t that fairy the hero?”
“No, no! That’s not it. We moved to a different world this time.”
“Ah!?”
At my words, Tia’s expression changed abruptly. Yes, this time we moved to a world on our own. And the world we were banished from was a peaceful one, without a Demon King, Hero, or even a fragment of a God.
“If we had received the banishment judgment before the collapse of the previous world, maybe it would have been there… but, well, it’s still uncertain what happens after we move to a new world, right?”
“Uh, so we won’t know anything about the fairies or that Demon King anymore…”
“That’s right…”
With drooping ears, Tia looked dejected, and I pondered for a moment… then, slowly, I reached my hand into the void, into the black hole that had opened up.
“Huh? Ed, you can use your skills even without my help?”
“It seems like it. Alright, this should work.”
Ignoring Tia’s surprise, I took out a quill and paper from the [Stranger Box] and placed them on the table. Then, I went to the bookshelf and grabbed a random {Record Of The Hero’s Story} activating [Copy and Fake].
“Oh, it worked. Alright then…”
In my hand, a perfectly replicated {Record Of The Hero’s Story} appeared. As the final hurdle, I flip through the pages of the duplicated version, and it seemed to have taken on the form of a real book.
Well, this was actually the most challenging part. [Copy and Fake] creates a replica that looks just like the real thing, but when it comes to replicating something like a book, there was a possibility that it would end up looking like a square object resembling a book. However, as long as the pages exist, there’s no problem.
“Hey Ed, what have you been doing all this time?”
“Just watch. I’ll do this…”
While Tia watched with curiosity, I covered the part of the replicated {World 004 Record Of The Hero’s Story} where the “four” was written with a piece of paper, then used a feather pen to write “five” over it…
“Oh, this is terrible…”
While I managed to paste a piece of beast skin paper with a color as similar as possible, the attempt to rewrite the golden embossing with a thin feather pen turned out quite shoddy. I couldn’t help but let out a strange noise at the poor quality, but seeing this, Tia’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“I didn’t expect you were planning to write a book, Ed!?”
“Well, yeah. If it doesn’t exist, why not make one yourself? Although, it might end up being quite disappointing…”
“Fufufu, if that’s the case, leave it to me! I’ll borrow a book real quick.”
Confidently, Tia took the fake {Record Of The Hero’s Story} from me. Placing it on the floor, she started chanting something.
Watching with keen interest, soon a red light sphere appeared in front of her. Dropping a gold coin onto it, the melted gold seemed to come to life, tracing over the shabby “five” I wrote, making it look like it’s naturally part of the book.
“Fufu, how’s that? Quite well done, right?”
“Wow, Tia, that’s amazing! Ah, this should work perfectly!”
“Alright then, let’s think about what to write inside! Hmm, what kind of content would be good?”
“Yeah…”
Feeling excited now that the quality has improved dramatically, we both brainstormed ideas for the stories to write in our handmade {Record Of The Hero’s Story}.
Firstly, it was impossible to write about the hero’s… the fairy’s life as in the original. Besides, neither I nor Tia knew much about that world anyway. So, the content won’t resemble the typical {Record The Hero’s Story}… but if we’ve already come this far, we might as well just do whatever we want.
After much deliberation and brainstorming, the result was only a few lines of text. But those lines contained our hopes and dreams, and I carefully transcribed them onto paper before transferring them to the pages of the fake book using [Copy and Fake].
By the way, the reason we went through all these steps was to prevent the text from becoming illegible due to deterioration. Since my fake book was made of “leather-like material” and “paper-like material”, it was hard to predict how it will deteriorate over time. On the other hand, by copying it with my ability, as long as it doesn’t break or disappear, it will never degrade.
“Is this it…? Well then, let’s take another look, shall we?”
“Yeah!”
I carefully flipped through the pages of the book placed on the table. The content was just one page long. It was a memorandum of dreams and hopes, written by us who knew nothing about that world or the fairies.
— World 005: {Record Of The Hero’s Story} Final Chapter: Beyond the End to a New Beginning
Having successfully escaped from the collapsing world, the Demon King and the fairies were released into a new world. The radiant light of hope shining in the sky seemed to promise them an infinite future.
How they lived thereafter, the departed souls could not know. However, they could hope and imagine that they lived happily. If they were ever to meet again someday, they would look forward to continuing their story.
Even separated by the walls of the world, memories remain connected, and records endure. The sweet and sour adventure of the Demon King, with his fondness for sweets and the fairies who adored him, had only just begun.
“How’s that? I think I did a pretty good job, don’t you?”
“Hahaha. Looks good to me. The illustrations on the back page match well too.”
“Illustrations? Wait, Ed! You didn’t put that doodle into the book, did you!?”
“Of course I did. I couldn’t leave out that masterpiece—”
“No way! That drawing wasn’t even that good!”
As Tia lunged at me, I held the book high to protect it. Preventing the rejection of this masterpiece was a battle I must win at all costs, even if it meant staking my entire existence.
“That’s not true. It’s an important memory. It should be preserved for centuries, for millennia, until the end of time, as a treasure of the world.”
“Ugh, Ed, you’re so mean!”
While patting Tia’s sulking head, I gently placed the fake {Record Of The Hero’s Story} back into the bookshelf. On the back page, there was a scene depicted with exquisite clumsiness, showing the Demon King with a frightening yet adorable expression playing happily with the fairies.
