The cardinals couldnât hide their embarrassment at what I said. As they were looking at each other with embarrassment, Blasio came closer to me with a big smile.
âLong time no see.â
âAha, a familiar face. Long time no see, Blasio.â
When I bowed my head lightly, the faces of the other cardinals became ugly.
Why? What?
Except for Blasio, the cardinals laughed awkwardly.
âYouâve gotten better at joking.â
âAre you kidding me?â
âC-child.â
âI thought every time you saw Mina, you always pretended not to know me.â
When I muttered casually, the cardinals were nervous.
Itâs true, when they came to Odis, they always went back after seeing Mina.
They deliberately tried to focus public attention on Mina by discriminating against me. It was all done to make me their obedient dog.
âYou only communicate with Mina everytime. Using the communication device in the principalâs office.â
âThatâs⦠thatâsâ¦!â
âOh, so it was true. I was only joking.â
They were restless as I kept attacking them
One of the cardinals cough and said,
âChild, I saw you through the screen. There are things I want to ask you, so letâs talk for a while.â
âIâll call you when I feel like it.â
âPardon?!â
âLetâs talk about it next time. When I feel like it.â
âC-child.â
âIâll be going then.â
I smiled brightly and passed by the cardinals. Mina was staring at me with wide eyes, but I entered the school without talking to her.
***
In addition to the cardinals, there were many people who wanted to talk to me.
Many powerful people from each country watched the monster subjugation through the screen and the students whose life I saved flocked to me.
I was tired because I was about to run out of divine power and headed to the dormitory saying that Iâm not feeling well.
There was someone unexpected waiting in front of my room.
âChairman! Brother Johann!â
After I ran into his arms with a big smile, Johann stroked my head.
âHow did you get here? I heard that many couldnât come into the school except for students.â
âThanks to you, Dubblede became a savior to Odis. We got the privilege of being a savior.â
âThatâs great! What about dad?â
âIn the academy principalâs room.â
âI see. Ah, come inside.â
When I opened the door, the two entered my room. We sat on the sofa and talked.
The chairman asked me.
âHow did you know the location of the mountain where the monster was at?â
âIt was thanks to the amethyst.â
âAre you talking about the devilâs passage that was owned by the ancestor?â
âYes, I touched the amethyst before the battle and saw something.â
â⦠You⦠Neliardâ¦â
âGo, kid, hurry up!â
âIsaac! No!!â
The armor worn by Isaac from the scene belonged to Odis. So I wondered if this was the future that the devil of amethyst showed.
When I said that, the chairman was visibly confused.
âYou saw the future?ââ
âThatâs right. It hasnât happened yet. So I thought about it, and I figured out that it was the future.â
âI see.â
âThatâs why I could change the future.â
The chairman and Johann stared at each other. I leaned against the sofa and said,
âIf I hadnât seen this scene, I wouldnât have been impatient in Kuhelmâs village.â
âRight, because you had already asked for help through Hannibal.â
âYes. If I wait, the rescue team will come soon. It was also enough time to find the relics that were assigned by the academy afterwards.â
Thatâs why I was impatient to leave the village as soon as possible, with Sourire next to me.
âAlso, I found Boone.â
âThe future has changed since then?â
âYes. Of course.â
âBy the way, the devil of amethystâ¦â¦. Canât you tell from Storasâ records?â
âThereâs a devil that comes to mind. What I wanted to know is the man who called Neliard in future the devil of the amethyst I saw.â
âItâs highly likely to be a devil as well.â
âYes. And I think this devil of amethyst and the devil who called Neliard have their memories intact from ancient times.â
The chairman flinched.
Having those memories meant they knew that I was the child of evil God.
âI think the devil of amethyst was a pioneer who was on the evil Godâs side, considering that they showed me the scene. In addition, this devilâs passage is in my hand. So itâs fine, but the devil who called Neliardâ¦â¦.â
âWhen it falls into the hands of the temple, it will be revealed to the world that you are the child of evil God.â
âYes. Thatâs why we have to find it first.â
I need to either put that devil into my hands, or destroy the passage.
âJust make sure it doesnât fall into the templeâs hand.â
âI will search around the mountain where the swarm of monsters appeared.â
âHurry.â
âYes.â
After talking with the chairman, I looked at Johann.
âI have something to tell you.â
The time has come to announce that I was the younger sister of Neliard in ancient times.
***
Johann, who was listening to my story quietly, sighed.
I looked at him nervously.
Dubblede kept getting into trouble because of me. They have to deal with many powerful people. I was worried that my family would feel burdened with my fate.
Johann lightly put his hand on my head.
âYou must have had a lot of worries by yourself.â
ââ¦â¦ Iâm sorry.â
âYou shouldnât be sorry.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âWhen will your habit of worrying alone and worrying about us getting in trouble disappear?â
âIâm sorryâ¦â¦.â
âIf you feel sorry for us, donât be afraid.â
ââ¦â¦ Huh?â
âYou have to think of your family who supported you anytime, anywhere.â
I laughed when I heard him.
Now that I know that they wonât throw me away because of the burden, but I always become a coward at times like this.
In front of my family who always held my hand, I was always a coward.
âI will never lose this time.â
There were times when I thought that regression was the curse of God, but now that I look back, this was a blessing.
I always get a chance to start over even if I fall, break, and completely break.
It will be different each time. And I never lose hope.
Thus, I considered this a blessing.
I looked out the window at the statue of Neliard.
âThis life was different than before. Finally, I got happiness, and thatâs because Iâve changed.â
Wouldnât Mina be able to change too?
Could we stop the war?
âLetâs talk to Mina.â
If she can be different, if we can really hold hands, there would be no more trials.
It was not long before I knew that day was a turning point for me and her fate.
***
Mina was sitting on the bench.
A dark shadow fell over her head while she stared blankly at the sky.
When she turned her head, she could see Cardinal Reginald.
âWhy is your face so gloomy?â
Mina merely scratched her forehead.
âWhat should I say? A little⦠I thought I was a fool.â
âPardon?â
âIn fact, I dreamed of this world often. A cool boy who tells me that Iâm like a younger sister, his first love, and precious familyâ¦â¦.â
Reginald narrowed his forehead when he couldnât understand. Mina smiled awkwardly.
âI guess thatâs why I was arrogant. I thought that maybe Iâm indeed the child of fate from the God of this worldâ¦â¦like a fool.â
âNo.â
âHuh?â
âYou can do it.â
He took a pendant out of his arms.
When Mina saw it, Reginald said.
âItâs an etwal.â
âEtwalâ¦â
âI believe you are the hero our God has sent, Mina. Please save the world with this.â
Mina carefully reached out to the etwal.
At that moment.
[â¦Itâs me, Mina! What are you thinking about?]
[Isaac, Henry! When did you get here?
[Why are you staring blankly at the sky? Whatâs wrong with you? Who bothered you? Who is it?!]
[Itâs not like thatâ¦]
[It must be because of her again. What kind of accident did that idiot make again this time?]
Strange memories flood into her head.
[Hello, Mina.]
[â¦I miss you.]
Even the memory of a silver-haired boy and a blonde boy reaching out to her.
