&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;==The Power to Protect Everything==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I continued walking down the dark path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily, it seemed that proceeding down it was possible in itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the way… I’m occasionally forced to take a break before I walk again, further and further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, various worlds start passing me by.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honestly, I remember hallucinating that I was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes I found myself in a desert, or a forest… This really is the gap that connects worlds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I never met anything, be it monster, animal, or human.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A place without the breath of life… I guess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I often found my legs sprained and bruised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in order to reach that world in the sky, I… walked on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that world, there’s Raphtalia. There’s everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I decided to protect it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even if I crumble away while seeking my goal, I will…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Four Holy Weapons’ Manual was in my hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would regularly open it, and check for changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the story isn’t proceeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many times, I thought there would be no point, but I decided not to give up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I continued walking, quite a bit of time passed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was it a day, or a week, or a month, or even more?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My sense of time is really dull here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And in the world of the rift, I can’t really feel hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the desert, I was given the sensation of being so hungry I would keel over, and so thirsty I would wither away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But still, I overcame it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I get the feeling I’ve been walking for quite a long time, but still I have yet to reach it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My body is telling me I’ve already walked the circumference of the world, but that’s probably an exaggeration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s usually quite dark, so I really can’t tell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But without the need for sleep, only fatigue piles onto itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I forgot that Arc was probably something similar to that Bitch Goddess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a human like me, there’s a great difference in our sense of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I look in the sky, I see worlds other than the one I’m venturing to sticking to one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is that… World Assimilation?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It really is like two soap bubbles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My hair is growing like crazy. Really, just how much time has passed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I don’t stop moving forward. I don’t plan on stopping.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was sick of it when I wandered into a labyrinth-like world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wasn’t able to proceed in the direction I wanted to go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This isn’t getting anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Occasionally, I see shooting stars collide with the worlds in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder what those are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’ve started to lose a sense for just how far I’ve walked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scenery that remains constant for eternity, I’m sick of looking at the sky above me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that point, I was only walking by resolve alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was around that time that my head started to go strange.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I began to hear voices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I turn around, I can immediately go to the world I came from.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can forget everything, and write everything off as a dream. A voice whispered this in my ear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, I am… not going to stop proceeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I mean, I wasn’t able to run away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are people who believe in me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are people who depend on me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are people who want to get stronger for my sake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And for those people, what can I do?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can only use up my body to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t intend to go out in that unreasonable way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I started thinking as I walked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I began to imagine how I would be able to combat that Bitch of a Goddess more effectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the start, I couldn’t get the slightest grasp of what to do, but if Arc’s words are true, then it’s not impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 0 Series can inflict damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, the Shield of 0 can endure hers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, my defenses were breached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The order of the world?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then let’s just rely on the order of another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I walk, I approach the problem again and again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just how can I get the order of the world to rest in my body?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I remember the concept of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is created in one’s self.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it’s merely a manifestation of the power within, then I need to make it more efficient, so that it can help just a little bit more…. Just one step closer. I want the power to defeat Medea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My disposition is for Healing and Support. The Shield interfered, but it’s still the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then let’s wring out that nature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s refine the magic within me to its limits, and create one that can combat her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those thoughts eternally… until I began losing sense of myself, they continued circling around my head, and I remembered the Dragon Pulse Order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Revelation was a mixture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dragon Pulse Order manipulates the power outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With it… based on how you approach it, it’s like… borrowing power from the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if I change the borrowing to theft, and abuse it as power of my own? Isn’t that how Medea’s rules work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s why I’ll place importance in the borrowing part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily, here I’m able to accomplish that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the worlds I stopped by, I began polishing the Dragon Pulse Law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually… I worked out a way to release my own magic outside, and take the pulse within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I searched for a way to borrow the world’s power, and fight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to fill up your empty body, you borrow power from your surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I was thinking about it, I felt the sensation of myself mixing with the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s still a way. Let me… grasp the nature of this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When there’s nothing to do but walk, you really do think.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My body’s sense of time sure is strange.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It feels like… I’ve been walking for years and years, but it also feels like it’s only been a night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I think that… by the time I passed the next world, I felt something spill out from within me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next moment, I lost my voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wha–”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There… was the familiar village I revived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But no one was there. It had completely been abandoned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oi! Is there anyone here!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’ve returned. As I think that, I search through the village’s buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there wasn’t a single soul anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could it be… the world has already fallen to ruin!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A black emotion welled up in my heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But my desire to deny it calls out to my rationality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They must have just changed base due to the war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, that’s right. That must be it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I entered what was once my house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I thought… it isn’t much different from how I remember it. My house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
….What’s happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did I not return?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I leave the house, and look into the sky again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In it, a vast array of worlds was still spread out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m still within the rift.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
… I can’t give up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what happens… I decided never to give up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m going to reunite with Raphtalia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And with everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The law of cause and effect, was it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the worst case, even if the Shield lends me power, will she be able to tamper with it to do unreasonable things?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thinking back, wasn’t her attack based on that concept in the first place?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the changes my Shield carried out in my world were of a similar sort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can’t use the Shield forcefully like she does. Or perhaps I don’t have enough power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I continue walking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I arrived at yet another world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was an infinitely expanding one-way staircase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The place I just saw earlier was my own hallucination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then I’ll just keep on climbing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And in that time, I tried to polish my own skills as much as possible. Little by little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And… eventually, I was unable to tell the difference between magic from the outside or inside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good job getting all the way here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the top of the staircase, Arc was sitting as if he was waiting for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just a little longer, and you’ll reach it. A normal person wouldn’t be able to make it here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Back there, I was in a village I knew of.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right… that was a place you made with your own power, a place embedded in your memory, I think. Perhaps it was the shape created by your strong desire to return to that place? I mean, you have yet to reach the world you want to go to.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Take me already.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When you’re this close, I don’t see the need to. It’s right before your eyes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Muu…” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
… So that was something I created with magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Somehow, I get the feeling I’ve grasped something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then I’ll be going on ahead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agile Arc ran ahead of me on the path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I tried chasing him, but I couldn’t keep up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just what sort of logic does this place run on?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next place I found myself in was Fitoria’s ruins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s a place I’ve come to once before. It’s nowhere unknown to me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I tried to ignore it and proceed, but I couldn’t get through the Forest of Illusions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I reluctantly proceeded through the ruins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually… I reached the stone house that that bottle was housed in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’ve reached the goal. For you to be able to come all the way here, your resolve is truly something.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just let me go on.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Calm down.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the house, the bottle still hangs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have you heard anything about this bottle from the child who was keeping it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um… there was a bit of personal opinion added, but she did talk about it.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
『At that time, the Hero said, ‘the first sip is eternal pain, the second, eternal solitude, and the third… a dreadful end.’』&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Having listened to me, does it sound familiar?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A little.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I mean, there was that annoying word, ‘eternal’, mixed in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The first sip will give you everlasting pain, and the second will give you an immortal body to watch those around you die for eternity.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The third was a dreadful end, right?” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is, you see… The Elixir, Amrita, the Eternal Peach, Soma, Tajiku Nakaku. All of them are medicines of immortality. Well, it’s something like that.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;TL Tajiku Nakaku is a mystical tree in ancient Japanese Legend whose fruit is said to give eternal youth. It is pursued by Tajimamori.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why something like that? She didn’t speak a word of it.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think it was a promise. Or else she would have been treated as an existence that threatened the world.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I see.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She may be a dim bird, but she’s one who honors her promises I guess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thinking about it, she was an existence that opposed the near-immortal Dragon Emperor, so she had to have been something like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dragons have a different role. I’m tolerating their actions for now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I see.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And I might add, in that world, this medicine has been diluted several hundreds of times. Its effects are low. There are rules, you know.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Rules, you say.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Looking at immortal beings, what do you think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s unfair.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right. In this world, it’s against the rules, right? If possible, I would like to have the heroes kill her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I see…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is the undiluted form. If you take three sips of the diluted one, you’re forcefully summoned as a Hero, eventually set to die. But what do you think will happen if you drink this one?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s the concentrate… right? What’s more, this is… not that world.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right. What do you think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the first place, is there any need to kill… ah.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For incidents caused by those immortal, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve left it with a trusted child, so I think it’s fine for now. If something happened to it, I did plan on retrieving it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Fitoria is his acquaintance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two sips will make you immortal, right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then after that…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yep, It will grant you power for a battle without end. If you look at it from another angle, you become something like god. Easy, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But… it may not be necessary for you guys. I mean, after you’ve made it all the way here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Arc closed the bottle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Us guys? Unnecessary?” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah, I’m sorry. Should I have warned you? As I thought, you never noticed. You guys slipped through dimensions, so your awareness of it seems to be a bit off.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try using the new power I had attained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his lead, I try to increase my perception. I try tuning into the channel of the world where all my comrades are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Naofumi-sama!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Raphtalia.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And there, was Raphtalia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From her power, I could tell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raphtalia also talked with him, and came here by following the path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that our thoughts coincided made me a little happy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You guys continued walking your paths, and in the end, you changed yourselves. Do you feel it now? You spent an unfathomable amount of time out there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Geh!? Then what happened to the world we were supposed to save?” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah, don’t worry about that. That’s what the charm was for. I had the flow of time speed up around you. I thought that if your wills were strong enough, you would be able to handle it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What?” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s true that I thought about the concept of magic as I walked, but that was still within the bounds of humanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is he making fun of me?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To be more specific, you’ve taken the first step. What do you want to do? Will you go further?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Please keep your jokes in moderation.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s not a joke, but… I still don’t think you guys have a chance of winning. Just try increasing your perception a little more. If you don’t decide your direction, you won’t be able to find your power.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Direction…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I could somewhat grasp what he was saying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What sort of fighting style do I have?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What I’ve been doing has always been protecting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were times when I did damage the enemy myself, but they number too few to count.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My essential direction… It’s as if I’m deciding my path to Class Up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Hero of the Shield, I never was able to, but this reasoning isn’t wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also feel there’s something similar to that popping up in my field of vision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What possibilities do you want to expand?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ark puts his hands together, and asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah, there was something called Class Up in your world, right? Please think of this as something like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…What is this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since I’ve met up with Arc again, I’ve become able to sense his presence better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something like bloodlust. Something that sends shivers down my spine is coming from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But for some reason, the person himself doesn’t seem to have any such intentions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And wait, that doesn’t matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s go become a god to beat up that Bitch Goddess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Even if you don’t decide, you’ll get power from the world you head to. But can you win with that? I think you’ll need to get something extra to win.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right. It’s a half-assed power. I won’t be able to win against her.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But if you drink that medicine from before, you will get plenty enough power to defeat her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saying that, he held out that red drink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My changed body could understand that it wasn’t out of any ill intent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“… Understood.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then take this–”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wrong, with a power received through another, I realize that I have no chance of winning.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just like he has his own goal, I have mine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I get the power to Smack a Goddess, even after defeating her, my goal will not be fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And with that, there’s no point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Naofumi-sama…” (Raphtalia)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Raphtalia… yeah, that’s right.” (Naofumi)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My eyes meet hers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And what she was trying to say was transmitted to me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
… I am the Shield that Protects others, and Raphtalia is my Sword.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have decided my direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the start, I could only ever become a Shield for someone else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then what is there for me to change?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What Raphtalia’s decision was, was also transmitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I… Iwatani Naofumi have the disposition to protect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I won’t go against it. I’ll protect everyone from this absurdity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From all unfairness… The power to protect everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If I don’t get a dream-like power like that, there’s no point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raphtalia answered my feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And of course, it wasn’t just Raphtalia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My power cannot stem from me alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s only meaning in my power when I have those I need to protect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You guys really are connected. I think it’s amazing. You trust the other person so much, and decided your directions to complement each other.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I feel the world expand around me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I never noticed it before, but power is overflowing in my body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A power that transcends the previous me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
… With this, I’ll be able to fight on an equal level with the Goddess Medea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I mean, isn’t that right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’ve become the same sort of existence as the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now all I have to do is develop a physical plan for victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s simple to understand. A Symbol to protect everyone… It’s simple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I inject my own power, and the power outside into the Shield Strap that had pretty much lost everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three different powers fuse, and a new Shield is formed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its strength is incomparable to before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the power I have is sent directly to defense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is truly the power to protect, from all things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Trust is the key to power, but dependence is something else entirely. Please take that to heart; though I think you two will do fine.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As our views expanded, we noticed that behind Arc was a gate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t you think it’s about time you set off? I don’t think you have too much time left, you know.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I open the Four Holy Weapons’ Manual&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was written on the page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Melromark’s army formation collapsed, and the reincarnators were closing in on Melty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
