Episode 392
“Uhm…”
“Oh, brother!!”
“Master Frey!!”
When I forcefully lift my heavy eyelids, Aria and Venere’s faces come into view.
It looks like both of them have gone to the point where they have lost quite a bit of their appearance.
Is something happening?
“ah.”
Thinking about that, I made a puzzled expression, but when I recalled the events just before I woke up, my expression became blank.
Aishi transformed into a demon lord. A completely frozen port on the Western Continent. A warrior party that was attacked.
I revealed my identity in front of them and protected the warrior party from Icy’s attack.
And what happened after that?
I can’t think much because I’m losing consciousness due to side effects. My last memory was getting on the ship that the main heroines had rescued.
Looking at the ocean stretching out outside the window in my room, I felt like I was still on the boat.
“…haha.”
With that thought in mind, I turn my head, and the place where my left arm should be is empty.
Normally I should have been quite shocked, but for some reason I didn’t feel anything.
I just feel like it wasn’t a dream that I was hugging Aria from the sharp chunk of ice.
Is there no longer any reaction to this kind of thing?
However, the curse of weakening mental strength is still in effect.
“Ugh, sigh… Ugh…”
I looked confused for a moment, then turned my attention to my younger brother, who was crying while holding my right hand.
“Aria, snap.”
“Sigh, breath…”
My younger brother gets ugly when he cries. Why would you ruin that pretty face yourself?
“Hmm.”
I smiled at my younger brother, who was holding back his tears, as if it was okay, and checked the date on the calendar that was hanging far away.
“It’s difficult…”
When I woke up, a day had passed since then.
So, there are only 3 days left?
The rapidly decreasing time is so cruel.
“Oooh, brother. Nana, I…”
“Calm down. I’m fine.”
Aria, who saw that my eyes were slightly shaking, spoke to me urgently, so I began to scold her in a soft voice.
“I was going to cut off my left arm anyway. It was no longer my body. So there was no problem. I’m glad I was able to protect you.”
“…………”
“Phew. It’s really awkward. How long has it been since I treated you like this?”
Upon hearing those words, Aria’s face becomes ugly again and she begins to shed tears.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Oppa…”
“I’m sorry too, little brother. I made you get caught up in such a tragedy.”
“Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”
“Even if you don’t cry.”
When a day like this comes, there are so many things I wanted to say, but for some reason I can’t remember a single thing.
It feels like my mind is turning completely white.
“Wow…”
“Ju, Ju Ju… Don’t die…”
I was speechless and had a blank expression on my face, but suddenly I felt my whole body shaking and I frowned. Aria quickly hugged me and started shedding tears here and there.
“Don’t die… please… I was wrong… please don’t die…”
“……”
“Ji, I’m going to apologize for everything I’ve done to my brother so rudely… and I’m going to quit being the head of the family…”
“Stop clinging to me.”
“Eeeeeeeek…”
I grabbed one of the guy’s cheeks and stretched him out, and Aria started staring at me blankly.
It was a prank I often played with my chubby-cheeked younger brother when I was young, but somehow I feel nostalgic.
“…I love you, little brother.”
As I smiled at my younger sister’s foolish appearance, which had not changed from before or now, I felt that I would never be able to do it again if it was now, so I said what I had always wanted to say to her.
“I’m sorry for being such an ugly older brother.”
“Huh…”
As a result, I made my younger brother cry again.
I don’t want to be left as a bad oppa until the end.
“Aria, I’m going out for a moment. I’ll meet you at the restaurant.”
“I don’t like it… I still…”
“Please. And Venere, I’d like to meet everyone, can you make a place for me?”
With that thought in mind, I patted the back of Aria, who buried her head in my chest. Then, I immediately sent her out of the room and spoke to Venere.
“There’s something I want to say… before it’s too late.”
– Heart pounding, pounding…
At the same time, cold sweat broke out all over my body, and my heart began to pound.
My mental power had fallen to the bottom due to the curse of mental decline, and it was pushing me into fear of imminent death.

The moment when everything will end. The moment when everything becomes nothing and disappears. I will disappear without being able to recognize anything or exist.
“…Ugh.”
As I realize that fact, a chill spreads through me and my whole body begins to tremble.
scary. I feel infinitely scared and scared. I want to run away.
The moment of complete extinction with no afterlife or second chance is scary, but more than anything, the thought of never seeing precious people again is scary.
“Do me a favor, Vener?”
But this is the path I chose in the first place.
But isn’t it funny that they are being treated like this?
So, after suppressing those feelings, I tried to smile and speak.
“”…………””
However, they noticed that I was in a panic just a moment ago.
Aria, who was walking out the door with Venere, was looking at me with wide eyes.
“…All right.”
After a while, Vener quietly pushed Aria’s back and closed the door.
“Okay, then.”
“young master.”
As she walks out the door, she waves her right hand, but Venere turns behind her and whispers in a low voice.
When she calls me master, I feel strange for some reason.
“If you die, I will kill myself too.”
“…what?”
Thanks to this, she is making a slightly awkward expression, but she says that with a soulless expression.
“It is a sword that stabbed its owner, so it would be right for it to be discarded.”
“for a moment…”
“Well then, bye.”
After leaving those words, Vener quietly leaves the room.
“”…………””
And then came the silence.
“…excuse me.”
I didn’t have the energy to get out of bed, so I sat down in a daze. I tilted my head when I saw someone peeking out through the slightly open door.
“Ah, hello… please.”
The youngest paladin was looking at me with his eyes colored golden.
“Excuse me…”
“I have a question.”
“Huh? Well, something.”
The sun god entered my room without permission, sat next to the bed, and began looking down at me with a sad expression.
“Do you not care about that child’s original personality? It seems like he is almost always possessed.”
“ah…”
When I asked her about something that had always bothered her, the sun god scratched her head and answered.
“Yes, actually, that’s me too. That’s actually my appearance before I became the sun god…”
“yes?”
“They brought me, who was sealed, to this world in my past form before the church became a god. I just don’t have any memories, but it’s okay because I’m still the same person.”
“Hmm.”
I think I discovered something quite unexpected. Who would have thought that the youngest paladin was the sun god’s past self?
Well, it looks mysterious, but its vague appearance also stands out.
“By the way, why did you come here?”
As I was thinking that, I looked at the sun god who was hesitantly approaching me and asked.
“I came to see… your condition.”
Then, she answered with a calm expression.
“So what do you think? Is there any hope of survival?”
When I asked that question with an effortful smile, the sun god chewed his lips and shook his head.
“I knew so.”
As I said that, I was bursting out laughing, but inside I was rotting away.
If it weren’t for the mental power reduction curse, it wouldn’t have been this bad. I’m worried that I keep showing people things I don’t want to see.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“…something.”
I sighed and closed my eyes, held the Sun God’s hand, and asked a question in a low voice.
“Am I wrong?”
“…………”
Hearing those words, the sun god fell into silence.
“The decision to sacrifice yourself on Ruby’s behalf.”
“hmm…”
“For some reason, it seemed like the dark side wanted me to kill Ruby. That seemed to be its goal.”
“…………”
“But now that I look at it, it seems like a really selfish and pathetic decision.”
When I pierced his heart, his eyes were clearly shaking.
But, was that just my imagination?
The situation is getting more and more extreme.
If I disappear like this, everyone will fall into despair. You can tell just by looking at the banner from before.
I don’t want an ending where everyone ends up unhappy. Was the choice I made really right?
Maybe my selfishness led to a terrible ending?
“That’s not true.”
Thanks to this, I am making a very dark expression, and the sun god, who read my expression, shakes his head and answers.
“If you had killed Ruby then, the main body of the pupil, which had regained its strength, would have been released and headed to other dimensions.”
“…To other dimensions?”
“Yes, and based on the experience we have gained so far, we would have been devouring dimensions at a faster rate than before.”
“…………”
“It would have been only a matter of time before all dimensions, including ours, would have been destroyed. The happy ending you achieved by killing Ruby would have ended with your descendants at most. The afterlife and eternal happiness would have disappeared.”
The sun god who said that quietly hugs me and whispers.
“In the end, you were right. The eyes that became even more obsessed with devouring this dimension fell directly on Aishi. We finally succeeded in bringing him to the stage.”
“It’s a leap. If the Star God had not intervened…”
“Let’s just look at the results.”
“Even if the results are like that, it doesn’t change the fact that I was selfish.”
Although she speaks softly, I feel uneasy for some reason. It makes me want to keep finding fault.
Is it because I’m insecure about the choices I’ve made? or not…
“How about being selfish?”
“…………”
“You deserve it.”
“I am…”
“Even if you combine the number of retries of Perloce and Ruby, they cannot exceed your number of retries.”
As she said that, she stroked my head.
“I didn’t set it up that way or design it that way, but you’ve always been good. So it’s okay to be selfish once in a while.”
For some reason, my heart feels warm.
Is this what it feels like to be pampered by your mother?
“If I disappear, everyone will fall into despair. I can still see the signs.”
“…………”
“And, before I disappear, I need to prepare for the future. At the very least, I need to neutralize the Demon King.”
If so, let’s pamper him a little more.
It’s a bit weird that the opponent is the sun god, but it can’t be helped.
“Even if I disappear, I don’t want anyone to be unhappy.”
“Uhm…”
“So you can either eliminate the fact that I ever existed, or something like that.”
“No.”
After hearing what I said, the sun god shook his head with a stern expression.
“Honestly, I want to live. Is there no way?”
“sorry.”
“I want to remain by everyone’s side, even if it means inhabiting a spirit or an animal, or even as a thought form or artifact. As long as I can be with everyone until the end, I don’t mind being in any shape.”
The sun god heard those words and closed his mouth quietly.
Looking at that, it seems like that is possible.
It’s just my guess, but it seems like it anyway.
“…Anyway, everyone, please help me overcome my absence. Please don’t let the world experience tragedy when I disappear.”
“I’ll try.”
Only after hearing those words do I begin to feel relieved.
“Right now, the main heroines are trying to find a way. Maybe they can bring a miracle, so I’ll wait until the last day.”
“yes.”
“But the moment the system is restored and the penalty window appears, I will continue to drink the helper potion I received from the warrior party a thousand years ago and head to Icy.”
“okay.”
“And if I have time, the sun too. I don’t know if it will work, but I’d like to at least make a dent in it.”
The sun god nods and looks down at me with dark eyes.
“…Please wake me up. I have to go out for a while.”
When I extended my right hand to her and asked her for a favor, the sun god took my right hand and lifted me up from the bed.
“Please go to the restaurant.”
It’s a little late, but let’s fill up our bucket list as much as we can.
For example, eating a meal while laughing and chatting with your children.
Trying out a normal academy life.
“please.”
Even just for one day.
.
Meanwhile, at that time, the dragon rare dense area of the western continent.
“You… do you think you can get away with doing something like this?”
Below Icy, who has transformed into a fully mature figure floating in the air with her legs crossed, the baby dragons are sitting frozen.
“Well, about the little demon…”
“No. They’re not demons. They’re just half-demon… why…”
“Lizards talk a lot.”
Aishi, shivering in the cold that enveloped the entire Dragon Lair, while looking down at the guys who still showed signs of resistance, muttered that in a cold voice.
“Obey.”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“Oooooh…”
Eventually, when she raised her hand, the dragons began to moan as their hearts froze.
“stop.”
In front of them, a dragon several times larger with a ferocious expression opened its mouth in an angry voice.
“What on earth do you want from us?”
“It’s simple. The entire race will become my servants.”
“Ruthless…!”
When the guy who heard those words blinked, Icy raised her hand higher.
“Oooooh…”
“Krrrrr…”
“If you fight me now, the baby dragons behind you will be in danger.”
“bloke…”
“The baby dragons behind you are the last dragons left in this world, right? I could kill them all except you.”
After hearing those words, the leader dragon quietly swallowed his sleep.
“What can I do?”
“It’s simple. We need to raid somewhere.”
Aishi whispers to him in a low voice.
“I need a boss monster to take down the academy.”
“…………”
“Then, please take care of me? By the way, I’m the only one who can melt their hearts… so don’t think nonsense?”
After saying those words, she covers her mouth with her hand, smiles, and leaves the Dragon Lair.
“…Hmm.”
The moment she left the rare, she stopped in a standing position.
“I feel strange.”
Then, Aishi suddenly became expressionless and muttered.
“This is my first time inhabiting the body of such an insignificant being.”
Eventually, she moves her body around and makes a curious expression.
“It’s refreshing to participate in a story I’ve always watched. Imitating a female of a lower level is not very desirable.”
A smile soon appears on her lips.
“But I was about to get bored. It’s many times more fun than just watching. It’s the most enjoyable moment since I was born as a proxy for my sleeping body.”
Icy said that and walked away with her eyes colored black. Then she suddenly frowns and stops in her tracks.
“Anyway, it’s annoying. Instead of quietly disappearing, you’re resisting needlessly. Thanks to you, doesn’t your personality really come out?”
“…………”
“Tsk.”
She clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like something, then quietly raised her hand.
“It’s no use. Everything is under control.”
Then, various shapes appeared on her hand.
With so many people’s faces visible, her eyes were focused on just one place.
-Eeeeeeeek…!
“God of the stars. Even your last bastion.”
Glare, whose entire body was tangled up, was fighting monsters in the middle of the rough sea.
“If you can’t read fate, you just have to intervene to the point where it becomes obvious.”
She said that and tried to walk away.
“The character’s theme. Take actions that fit the theme…”
Then she frowns.
“what.”
Next to the glare, a completely dark screen was projected.
“Why can’t I see this?”
Her eyebrows begin to arch.
“There’s one more guy whose fate you can’t read?”
As she said that, she reached out to the window.
“It’s an annoying management system. If it weren’t for this, this dimension would have been swallowed up a long time ago…”
Soon, she was looking at the black screen with her hands, holding it and shaking it wildly, and then quietly pouted her mouth.
.
Meanwhile, at that time.
