Volumen 17 Capítulo 158 - La Teoría de Nanahoshi

1ª Parte

Mantente alerta con Hitogami y sospecha de sus palabras, pero no te le opongas.

Eso fue lo que me dijo mi Yo-Futuro.

Es cierto que muchas de las cosas que Hitogami me ha dicho son bastante cuestionables...

Por ejemplo, lo de que el Dios Dragón planea destruir el mundo, o que si Hitogami muere el mundo se vendrá abajo...

Pero ¿dónde empiezan las verdades y acaban las mentiras? Porque no me cabe duda de que hay mentiras en sus palabras. Aunque no debo categorizar sus palabras como verdades y mentiras a la ligera; porque si lo hago, es posible que contrario a lo que pretendo, acabe cayendo en alguna de sus trampas.

Pero siendo honesto, dudo que su enfado por la aparición inesperada de mi Yo-Futuro sea una farsa; sino que estoy casi seguro de que su aparición fue un duro golpe para sus planes.

Pero aun así... debido a ello, su actitud ha cambiado a dudar de mí y de si me convertiré en su enemigo; y si no quiero oponerme a él, no me queda más remedio que apoyarle. No tengo la capacidad de proteger a mi familia de un enemigo que puede atacarme desde un punto al que yo jamás podré llegar.

Por eso, mi única opción es aliarme con él.

Porque aunque es cierto que Hitogami es un ser que ahora mismo detesto con todas mis fuerzas y que es posible que no cumpla su promesa... Es posible que si acabo con su único verdadero enemigo, consiga que el problema desaparezca y hasta decida olvidarse de mí y mi familia.

Volviendo a mi actual problema... Hitogami me dijo que matara a Orsted... Así que, dejando de lado otros aspectos, la parte en la que mis descendientes se aliarán con Orsted y conseguirán acabar con él es algo que parece MUY creíble.

Por eso, la parte en la que desaparezco o bien yo, o bien Orsted... debería ser suficiente para que gane al final el Dios Humano. Por eso... es posible que le baste con que una de las 2 amenazas desaparezca para olvidarse de la otra.

Después de todo, el mismo dijo que su intención era olvidarse de Orsted mientras no pudiera vencerle.

Mi meta definitivamente es proteger a mi familia.

Y aunque el que haya intentado atentar contra mi familia sea el Dios Humano; este se encuentra en un lugar que no conseguiré alcanzar. Por lo tanto, no puedo impedirle que siga atentando contra mi familia.

Sin embargo, Orsted se encuentra en el mismo mundo que yo; aunque no es un oponente al que crea que puedo vencer.

Sinceramente... ojalá no tuviera que pelear contra él... Pero comparado con la opción de enemistarme con Hitogami, al menos contra Orsted tengo una posibilidad... por pequeña que sea.

... Haga lo que haga, me oponga al que me oponga... alguien debe morir.

Preferiría que no fuera así.

2ª Parte

Al día siguiente de mi sueño con el Dios Humano, acompañé a Sylphy a la Fortaleza Flotante de Pelagius; pero antes, envié una carta a través del gremio de aventureros.

Una vez llegamos al colosal palacio flotante, me despedí de Sylphy en la misma entrada para dirigirme a donde se encontraba Nanahoshi.

Después de que Hitogami me casi ordenara que matara a Orsted, tuve dudas de a quién podría pedirle consejo para ello, y rápidamente me acordé de ella; seguramente porque mi Yo-Futuro me pidió que consultara a Nanahoshi.

Además... Nanahoshi es probable que tenga alguna noción de dónde se encuentra actualmente Orsted... Por lo que creo que lo primero será hablarlo con ella directamente.

Sé que antes o después tendré que explicarle todo esto a Sylphy y a Roxy pero... me preocupa que se culpen de la situación actual. Porque ni ellas, ni los niños tienen ninguna culpa de todo esto; y por eso debo medir mis palabras y mis actos...

Aunque todavía no tengo la menor idea de qué debería contarles....

"Hola."

"Oh. Has vuelto mucho antes de lo que esperaba."

Ya han pasado algunos días desde que Nanahoshi tuvo la crisis, pero parece que su cuerpo todavía no se ha recuperado del todo y continúa en cama. Aunque tiene ligeramente mejor aspecto, aunque todavía se la ve afectada por todo lo sucedido.

"Nanahoshi, te he traído un detalle, para que te mejores."

"No tenías que haberte molestado."

Coloqué sobre la mesa la cesta con distintos tipos de frutas que había comprado en el mercado.

Aunque hayan costado algo más de la cuenta, la cortesía dicta que si vas a pedirle un favor a alguien, es de buena educación dar algo a cambio... Y no tiene nada que ver con que estemos en una relación de tomaidaca.

"... Das algo de miedo. ¿Ha pasado algo?"

Nanahoshi me preguntó con clara preocupación.

¿Mi expresión da miedo?.... Seguramente sí. No me cabe duda de que tengo peor cara que ella...

"Es un poco precipitado pero... me gustaría que me devolvieras ya el favor."

"¿Qué es lo que quieres que haga por ti?"

"Antes de nada, quiero que escuches lo que te tengo que decir, aunque puede que te parezca increíble."

"De acuerdo."

Con toda la tranquilidad que fui capaz de usar, relaté toda la información sobre cómo tuve un encuentro con mi Yo-Futuro.

Desde lo que hablamos, lo que supuestamente ocurrirá, lo que aparece en el diario, y cómo, casi para confirmar todos esos datos, Hitogami se me apareció en sueños enfadado por el supuesto duro golpe.

Además, le conté lo que supuestamente mis descendientes ayudarían a Orsted a acabar con el dios Humano; y cómo finalmente Hitogami me pidió que matará a Orsted.

Básicamente le conté todo.

"....."

Tras escucharme, Nanahoshi se quedó pensativa analizándolo todo mientras apoyaba sus dedos en su frente medio tapándose la cara.

"... Perdona, pero necesito confirmarlo... Dices... ¿que vino del futuro?"

"Así es, al menos, él fue el que me dijo esto."

"¿Alguna prueba?"

"Hay varios comentarios en japonés escritos en el diario, por no hablar de que me dijo el nombre que tenía en mi anterior vida."

"¿Tu antiguo nombre...? ¿Cuál es?"

"No quiero decirlo."

"No quieres decirlo... Pero... ¿De verdad puedes confiar en lo que ha dicho ese hombre?"

"... ¿Qué intentas decir?"

"Que es posible que sea otra persona que vino de nuestro antiguo mundo; no sé, podría estar intentando hacerse pasar por ti venido del futuro."

"El diario era idéntico al diario que hice específicamente para eso; por no hablar de que el contenido que ya se encontraba escrito en él era idéntico."

"Aunque me digas eso, no sé, quizás lo hayan copiado mientras dormías."

Quizás esto, quizás lo otro... Si lo único que lanzas son dudas, no terminaríamos nunca...

"... Personalmente creo que no es una farsa."

"Eso lo puedo comprender, pero piensa que Hitogami pudo enviarle pensando justamente que le creerías."

"¿Me quieres decir con eso que no solo inventó lo que ocurriría y lo escribió en una copia de mi diario, sino que toda la conversación que tuve con él en mi sueño fue tan solo teatro?"

"No llegaría a tanto, pero... ¿de verdad se puede confiar en ese tal Hitogami?"”

"No, no se puede."

"¿Y aun así vas a hacer caso a lo que dice?"

"Porque... no hay nada que pueda hacer para impedirlo..."

Nanahoshi dejó escapar un suspiro, y como si aceptara algo en su cabeza, comenzó a hablar.

"Si te soy sincera, he escuchado cosas sobre ese Hitogami de casualidad... de la boca de Orsted."

"... ¿En serio?"

"Sí. Fue justo después de que casi te matara; esa misma noche, me habló un poco de él."

"....."

"No entró en detalles, pero... dijo que no cabe duda de que le mataría. Pero añadió que actualmente le era imposible hacerlo..."

Hitogami dijo que Orsted estaba haciendo movimientos en las sombras con la intención de matarle... Y si Orsted dice que actualmente le es imposible... ¿quiere decir que podrá en el futuro? ¿El motivo puede ser por mis descendientes? ¿O porque reaparecerá el último Guerrero Dragón?

Sea lo que sea... Hitogami quiere impedir esa posibilidad... ¿seguro que debería creerle en ese punto?

.... Cuanto más lo pienso, más me parece que hay bastante credibilidad en sus palabras del otro día. Tanto el momento en el que apareció, como la actitud con la que lo hizo... ¿qué ganaría mintiéndome? ¿De verdad pudo prever como avanzaría la conversación hasta ese punto? Porque sería incapaz de darme cuenta si de verdad me estuviera mintiendo en esa situación...

Pero ahora mismo, el objetivo de sus palabras no importa.

"¿Y bien? ¿Por qué me has contado todo esto? Estoy segura de que hay otra gente a la que podrías haber recurrido en esta situación, ¿me equivoco? Porque por mucho que me digas todo eso, no hay nada que yo pueda hacer."

".... Mi Yo-Futuro me dijo personalmente que te consultara."

"¿Tu Yo-Futuro...? ¿Qué dijo de mí?"

Oyendo su pregunta, no supe bien cómo contestarle.

¿Debería decírselo? En el diario no hubo mención al respecto así que no sé bien qué le deparó el futuro... pero me dijo que Nanahoshi no lo consiguió...

Siento que debo decírselo, que es mejor así.

Si de verdad supiera que su destino es fracasar, puede mentalizarse y hasta pensar en posibles soluciones para evitar el fracaso.

"Por lo visto... tras todo tu esfuerzo... fuiste incapaz de regresar."

Cuando pronuncié esas palabras, los ojos de Nanahoshi se abrieron por completo y hasta entreabrió los labios. Pero no tardó en recomponerse mínimamente, cerrar la boca y negar con la cabeza.

"No me refería a eso. Sino a por qué... tu Yo-Futuro... te dijo que lo consultaras conmigo."

"Esto... sobre eso... no mencionó en ningún momento si moriste... pero quizás porque conocerías el paradero de Orsted, o sino, porque serías capaz de analizar mejor este tema que yo y que podrías darme respuestas..."

"¿Sobre qué?"

"Probablemente, cuál pudiera ser el objetivo de Hitogami o algo así....."

Si lo pienso con detenimiento, quizás adivinar el objetivo de Hitogami no sea tan complicado...

Porque es cierto que dijo que su meta es la paz mundial... y quizás se refiriera que quiere evitar la muerte de los habitantes del mundo evitando su muerte...

Aunque es probable que eso fuera una mentira...

".... Dime... ¿Podrías dejarme leer tu diario?"

"Claro."

Saqué y le entregué el diario a Nanahoshi, que lo abrió por la primera página y comenzó a hojearlo. Aunque no tardó en mostrar algo de molestia.

"Esto... va a tomar más tiempo del que pensaba. Además que tu letra tampoco ayuda...."

"Tardé 2 días en leerlo entero."

"¿De veras? En ese caso, ¿me dejarías echarle un vistazo durante un día?"

"¿Pretendes leerlo entero en un solo día?"

"Siempre me ha gustado leer, así que imagino que lo terminaré para esta noche."

Le iba a decir que tan solo lo hojeara por encima y se centrara en los puntos más importantes... aunque si lo lee completamente, es posible que comprenda algo que a mí se me haya pasado...

Sé que puedo confiar en su capacidad de observación e investigación.

"En ese caso, yo aprovecharé para descansar. Estos días no he podido dormir demasiado."

"De acuerdo. Ven cuando hayas reposado."

"Cuento contigo."

Tras decir esto, salí de la habitación de Nanahoshi; y en cuanto salí por la puerta, sentí como si hubiera perdido un peso de encima, me quedé mucho más relajado.

Qué raro... ¿Tanto confío en Nanahoshi...?

No es eso... Por algún motivo, a Nanahoshi le cuento cosas que nunca le diría ni a Sylphy ni a Roxy... y si tuviera qué decir por qué motivo es eso... es porque siento que como no me importa tanto... puedo pedirle que me ayude con esto.

.... Es probable... Menudo tipo sin escrúpulos estoy hecho...

"...."

De casualidad, me dio por mirar a través de una de las ventanas del recinto y pude ver a Ariel, Zanoba, Cliff, Sylphy y Pelagius discutiendo algo en un patio, mientras Luke observaba atentamente a espaldas de Ariel. Puedo ver como Sylphy está intercediendo en nombre de Ariel con Pelagius.

Me sorprende lo mucho que ha cambiado de lo solitaria que era cuando la conocí debido al bullying...

Pero recordando las palabras de mi Yo-Futuro, Ariel tuvo que regresar a Asura sin el apoyo de Pelagius.

Donde perdió.

Junto a Sylphy... lo que llevó a su muerte....... ¿Debería ayudarla?

....... No... ahora mismo tengo otras prioridades...

Lo que debo hacer ahora es pensar qué hacer con Hitogami... Si consigo solucionar eso, es posible que evite de por sí el incidente que llevó a que Sylphy muriera.

Mientras pensaba en todo esto, acabé llegando a mi habitación.

Por ahora, necesito descansar.

3ª Parte

When I awakened, Sylphy was already sleeping next to me.

A close-up of her usual cute, sleeping face filled my vision.

I didn’t remember sleeping with her.

That means she probably snuck in sometime after I fell asleep.

If I move, I’ll probably wake her.

She probably wanted to talk to me about the discussion with Perugius.

If that’s the case, I’m sorry.

I unfastened Sylphy’s arms that were wrapped around my waist. After caressing her hair, I left the bed.

“nn…. Rudi… let’s kiss…”

With her adorable sleep-talking, and looking at her defenseless sleeping face, this is the part where I would usually get horny.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to think about erotic things.

Fixing my bed hair with my hands, in order not to wake Sylphy, I quietly left the room.

Outside the window, the sky was already filled with stars.

It has already become night time.

Since stars also exist in this world, does that mean space as well?

Thinking about such things, I walked along the hallway.

“Where are you going this late at night?”

“Waa?”

At the corner of the hallway, a man with a yellow mask suddenly called out to me.

“…..Arumanfi.”

“This is the time when humans sleep. Where are you going at this late hour?”

“To Nanahoshi’s room. Has she already gone to sleep?”

“She just asked me for some pen and paper. She’s still awake.”

“Thank you.”

With my heart beating a little fast, I left that place.

I wonder if spirits don’t go to sleep.

Well, he’s not human for sure.

A 24-hour security guard that gives peace of mind.

“If I remember correctly, the conversations inside the castle can pass through the walls, I think…”

That means, the conversation I had with Nanahoshi has also entered Perugius’s ears.

That they aren’t saying anything, means that they are just monitoring the situation?

And then not just Perugius’s ears, but the Human God’s as well…

While thinking that, I silently walked inside the castle and headed towards her room.

Outside her room, light was leaking out from the door’s crevice.

It seems she’s still awake.

For now, I’ll knock.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Rudeus.”

“Coming this late at night, won’t your wife misunderstand?”

“Should I come back tomorrow?”

“It doesn’t really matter to me. Come in, please.”

Being told to do so, I went inside.

Nanahoshi was still in bed, however, a large number of paper stacks were scattered around her.

“It’s a bit disorderly isn’t it?”

“It’s a result of considering a lot of things.”

“Did you manage to find anything?”

I asked while picking up pieces of paper and sat down on a chair.

“For the time being, thanks to your story and diary I have a hypothesis.”

“Oh? A hypothesis?”

“I've thought about it for a long time, the reason why I came to this world, this place, this era.”

Did that have any relationship with our conversation just now, I wonder?

No. It’s fine.

For now, I’ll listen.

“In the beginning, I thought it wasn’t just me, but my friends as well, who were transferred to this world.”

“…..”

I wonder if it’s fine for me to ask why.

Though I already knew why she wanted to say that.

In the corner of my mind--- remained memories of my final moments in my previous world. A somewhat inexplicable phenomenon.

I tried to save three people who were going to be run over by a truck.

However, there was one person I could not save.

In the end, I ended up being run over by that truck.

And so, I was the only one who ended up getting run over by a truck.

Without being run into, Nanahoshi was transported to this world.

It would not be strange for someone else to be transported to this world other than her.

“But, no matter where I searched in this world, I couldn’t find them.”

“What’s the possibility of them dying as soon as they were transferred here?”

“I thought about it but, even though I safely came here, they died?”

And so, roaming the world together with Orsted, she searched for her friends, did she?

No. That shouldn’t be the only reason she traveled around the world.

“There wasn’t anything special that happened to me as well.”

“Truly? Nothing at all?”

“…...?”

I wonder what she’s trying to say.

Certainly, there shouldn’t be anything.

My life in Buina village, together with Paul, Zenith and Lilia was peaceful.

“I, hearing that your future self came here to the past, hearing that your future self didn’t have any internal organs, wondered if I also came from the future.”

“Ha? What do you mean? Are you saying that in truth, this world’s timeline extends into our previous world?”

“Not that. If I had to say, I wonder if I can explain it. We still don’t know the reason for the teleportation incident, do we?”

“Didn’t that disaster happen because you were transferred here?”

“Yes but, beyond that theory, normally that disaster wouldn’t happen.”

But, that should have been expected since you were transferred from another world.

“However, unlike your case, there was no disaster when my future self came here.”

“Didn’t it happen?”

“What? Where?”

“Didn’t his internal organs disappear somewhere?”

“No….. that’s…..”

Is this what Nanahoshi wanted to say?

That there were similarities in the vanished organs and people being transferred in the teleport disaster?

“After time-travelling fifty years, your magical power dried up.”

“…No, even if you say it dried up, he was still able to use magic.”

“However, at the time he used magic, he also started weakening right? Even though he became a powerful magician, he gave up on healing his injuries.”

Nanahoshi tapped on the front cover of the diary.

“Supposing I came from a hundred years into the future, I would need two persons worth of your magical power, right?”

I realized that Nanahoshi was trying to confirm something.

She probably learned something I still didn’t know.

“Your future self fifty years from now, traveled through fifty years and lost his internal organs.

Where did those internal organs disappear to?

Did they remain in the world fifty years from now?

If the time he traveled was a hundred years, would it just end with his internal organs?

In that situation, would his entire body remain in the future?”

“…..”

“It’s different, right? The entire body would be sent to the same place the organs disappeared to.”

“Where would that be?”

“I don’t know. It’s just, until a balance is reached, everything would be tweaked. This world’s magical power should also be following the law of conservation of energy.”

The law of conservation of energy.

“I haven’t researched it in detail but…. In that incident, humans probably disappeared by the thousands, or tens of thousands.”

“…..”

“You, after that incident, did you feel nothing wrong with your body? Like your magical power suddenly being drained very low for example?”

After that disaster.

At that time, together with Eris, we encountered Ruijerd and became adventurers at the town of Rikarisu.

I don’t think anything happened but….

No, now that you mentioned it, I got easily tired while we were moving towards the town of Rikarisu.

A sluggish feeling, isn’t that the same as when my magical power is almost dried up?

“There was but…. then what’s the difference between people who disappeared because of teleportation and those who didn’t?”

“As the Human God said, there is probably a relation to how strong their fate is? It looks like those who had strong fates didn’t disappear.”

“…. Is that your guess?”

“That and everything else. All of it was conjecture. Didn’t I say it was a hypothesis?”

It looks like I have a strong fate.

And it seems the same could be said for the beautiful females around me; Both Sylphy and Eris survived.

In hindsight, my family also had strong fates.

“In short, you’re telling me you also time-traveled from the future?”

“No, I’m just wondering if it’s fine to think of it like that.”

Nanahoshi scratched her head and groaned as if she couldn’t explain it clearly.

“For sure, in the future, a situation in which the Human God is defeated will occur.”

“…Would it?”

“Yes. That’s why the Human God, in order to avoid that, made contact with you. Hey, when did you meet the Human God for the first time? Do you still remember?”

The first time I met the Human God was, right… immediately after the teleport disaster.

No, but, I feel he said something like watching me even before then.

Was that also a lie?

He said he saw me at the teleport disaster.

From which part did he start lying? And where does it end?

“Before the teleport disaster, didn’t you see anything that bothered you?”

Something that bothered me…..

Nothing.

Wait… No, there was something.

In the Fedoa region, inside the room that grandfather Sauros used for sex, from that tower I saw a red sphere.

“That’s a clue, right? Do you still remember when it first appeared?”

When…..?

There’s no reason I would know that….

No, wait… I feel like grandfather Sauros said something about it.

Remember.

Remember.

This body has a good memory. I should be able to remember it.

Mmm… it should be…

“It was discovered just three years before.”

“Around the time I was five years old, I think.”

“When you were five years old, did anything happen? Did you encounter anyone?”

“If it’s when I was five years old, that was the time I met Sylphy, after that, someone else who’s special…”

Suddenly, something in my head connected.

I met with Sylphy and became close to her.

As a result, Paul pulled us apart, and I met with Eris.

And then on my tenth birthday.

I almost did it with Eris.

The teleport incident happened the next day.

And then, immediately after the teleport disaster, I started to have contact with the Human God.

In short, the future where the Human God dies was born because of that?

“Originally, you’re not someone who should have existed in this world, right?”

“Yeah.”

“What do you think is the reason you transferred to this world?”

“I don’t know.”

“I believe that holds some significance.”

“Significance? Like what?

“Someone, in order to the change the future, sent you and me into this era.”

“Someone? Who?”

“Surely, someone from the future. Someone who wants the Human God to die.”

I don’t understand this.

Then, is she telling me that I’m being manipulated by someone?

“I don’t understand. In the end, what are you trying to tell me?”

“I’m saying that in order for the world where the Human God dies in the future to exist, the two of us are necessary.”

This has become complicated.

“I was probably summoned to this world in order to create a method for your descendants to kill the Human God in the future.”

“…..”

“That’s why, as long as I don’t create that method, I won’t be able to return to my original world. My return magic will fail.”

“Why would that happen?”

“Because that’s the reason I was called to this world. In short, my existence is a time paradox.”

Hypothesis.

The reason the Human God dies, is because my descendants and Orsted will kill him.

In order for that to happen, I need to make children.

The moment I met with Sylphy, it was established that I would make children with her.

Looking at the time that the Human God was fixated on Roxy, probably with Roxy too.

The teleport incident happened during a time where I could have done erotic things with Eris. She’s probably connected as well.

After that, it seems the Human God can’t be killed with just my descendants and Orsted alone.

In order for that to happen, there is something important that Nanahoshi needs to do.

And so, Nanahoshi was summoned.

That’s why she said [I came from the future].

Was this done because someone intended it to happen? Or was it some prank of causality?

We don’t know.

Nanahoshi’s hypothesis is that, as a result of what someone did in the future, we were created in the past.

Did the future come first?

Or was it the past?

Did the egg come first? Or the chicken?

“I understand your hypothesis.”

“I’m sorry for being bad at explaining but, I’m glad that you understood.”

It was an interesting conversation.

What comes after is an uninteresting one.

“In short; my descendants, together with Orsted, will kill the Human God. That extent is believable.”

“Well, it seems that way.”

“Then, let’s return to our original issue.”

“Original?”

“About killing Orsted.”

“That’s……”

Nanahoshi knitted her eyebrows.

"Even if your hypothesis was correct, the Human God is aiming to avoid that future. Practically, he's already done that once. Even if our fates are fixed, the future can still be changed."

".....I think it's better if you stop. More than that you should consult with Orsted. Perhaps ----"

"Please stop. The Human God is probably watching our movements at this very moment."

"....."

Hearing that, Nanahoshi looked at the ceiling.

Unfortunately, the void world lies below.

“Something like fate isn’t certain. Even if you say that my and Sylphy’s fate is strong, my father died, and my mother became an invalid. I don’t think the Human God can do anything immediately, but he can see the future. Once he sees me trying to rebel, by the time I return home, there’s a possibility Aisha and everyone else would be dead. One year after, two years after, I would continue into a path of misfortune.”

“…But, the Human God shouldn’t be able to just lay his hands on whoever he wants, right?”

“I wonder about that. If you think that way, then it’s also possible he should be able to. It wouldn’t be strange for him to hide how powerful he is.”

“I can’t deny that.”

“Besides, in the end, Orsted can’t win, right? If you can believe the Human God’s word, that is. If my descendants don’t help him, he’ll lose, right?”

“Well, if we based it on what we know, then yes.”

“I will protect my family. The one aiming at my family is the Human God but, the Human God is in a place I can’t reach. However, Orsted is in this world. I don’t know where he is but, if it’s him it shouldn’t be impossible.”

“But, you can’t trust the Human God to keep his word.”

“Orsted is the Dragon God. If the diary can be believed, then he probably knows a technique to go to the void world. If I kill him, if the method to travel to the void world disappears, then in reality, the Human God should lose his reason to target my children.”

“But, even if you kill Orsted, another method to go to the void world would probably be….”

“Then what should I do!?”

I, myself, was surprised that I shouted at Nanahoshi.

While wincing, once again, Nanahoshi repeated what she said.

“Like I said, you should discuss this with Orsted. Perhaps he can think of something.”

“I’ve already thought about becoming allies with Orsted! However, once that happens the Human God will become my enemy. Going against the Human God by myself would only result in repeating what was written in the diary. If it’s just me then I can’t win. Then what about Orsted? He’ll lose, right!? Since he can’t win alone, he trespassed into my life and threw it into disorder to get a chance at victory; and so, in order to avoid a future where he is defeated, the Human God interfered with my life! Do you think someone like that would truly have the flexibility to protect my family!? Would he even have enough power to do that!? Since I don’t know that, why should I make the Human God my enemy!? Taking on a losing battle and losing everything, it’s too late for that!”

“But! Even then, Orsted is more trustworthy than the Human God.”

“I wonder about that. I’ve been told that Orsted would destroy this world. Well, even I wouldn’t believe in that entirely but… The Human God deceived me. He guided me into misfortune with his advice. Are you sure Orsted isn’t deceiving you as well?”

“That… isn’t something I can say for sure.”

Once again, I looked at Nanahoshi’s face.

Fear has been mixed into her facial expression.

“I, whether it’s the Human God or Orsted, I don’t believe in either of them.”

All I know is how powerless I am.

Even if I go against the Human God, I won’t win; I believe those words that my future self left me.

I can clearly imagine a future, similar to that old man, where I lose everything and die miserably.

If I fight with Orsted, I can’t imagine a future other than becoming a tattered rag.

However the Human God told me my fate was strong.

Possibly, he saw a future where I defeated Orsted.

I’ll place everything on that one strand of hope.

“Nanahoshi, since you told me to discuss this with Orsted, then you know a method to contact him, correct?”

“….. Yes. That’s right.”

“Then cooperate with me on killing Orsted.”

“I, also received help from Orsted, you know?”

Nanahoshi became flustered and turned her gaze away.

When Nanahoshi came to this world, the first person she met was Orsted.

And from there, she was probably saved by Orsted numerous times.

In a manner similar to how Ruijerd saved me when I fell into the magic continent.

She doesn’t want to betray him.

I also feel the same way about Ruijerd.

Even if she dies, she wouldn’t betray him.

Even I can understand to that extent.

If it was the usual me, thinking about what would happen to our current relationship, I would pull back.

However, right now, I have no intention of holding back.

"Hey, Nanahoshi. (previous world name)Nanahoshi Shizuka”

“…..”

“Did you know that, before I came to this world, I was nothing more than garbage? I don’t know what you think of me right now but… If you saw my previous self, you would clearly look down on him as trash.”

“…..”

“But you know what? When I came to this world, I decided to start from scratch. I’ve had my share of failure and loss but, I’ve learned various things, and now I have something important to me."

“….”

“That is something I want to protect.”

I got off my seat.

When you’re asking from someone a favor, you shouldn’t be sitting on something.

There is a proper way to ask for help.

Go down on both hands and knees.

And beg for help.

Bow down as low as possible.

“I beg you. Please help me.”

The floor of the Sky Fortress was cold and hard.

“There’s a possibility that the Human God would abruptly change his mind. I don’t want to see a day where I discover that my entire family has been massacred because we hesitated….”

“Wait, what are you doing!? Stop that!”

“I don’t want to lose anyone. Please help me.”

Nanahoshi got off the bed.

Seizing my shoulder, she forced me to raise my face.

“I understand…. I’ll help, so please don’t stay in that pose anymore.”

Seeing Nanahoshi’s tired face, I apologized to her in my head.

At the same time, [It went well], I thought.

Inside my heart, I was assuming a triumphant pose.

“I’m in your debt.”

I was probably in the wrong.
