Do You Think You Can Run After Reincarnating, Nii-san?

"I don't know how that woman's going back in time."

said Tina.

"But we can no longer rule out that possibility and think about it. Sis, I'm telling you that Time Reap wasn't your exclusive patent."

"She also [leads the way in causation]...?

"No, that's a quick decision. I don't know if there's any other way to go back in time. In the first place, she became a [dawn light] and used other spiritual techniques. Spirituality is one per person. That's the rule. Or are you going to tell me that there are two Roosts of [the takeover of divine will]?

Anyway, don't think about the means of time-leap yet - apparently that's what I wanted to say.

Though I also feel like I'm being teased......

Teena engraves a harsh wrinkle between her brows.

"That woman was coming and going with the future and the past to create a must-win situation before her sister awoke to the power of [leading the cause and effect]. Well, you can't get fat with a little time retrospective."

"A must-win situation - that means you're ready in advance so you can end up whatever you want no matter how you roll...?

"That's the thing. Converging to the same end, no matter how many times you do it, is neither destiny nor fate - the gift of surrounding advance preparation by the time it creeps out. Fighting is 90% of the time before it starts. Sister, you were actually starting a battle from an extremely unfavourable situation."

… I recall my rank battle at the College of Spiritual Arts.

Reminds me of the intense intelligence battles that the students routinely repeated.

The essence is that nothing has changed since then.

Don't try to win after a battle.

Create a winnable situation and then inevitably win -

"... hey, I want to sort it out"

Finally, I think I'm getting a grip on the place.

I spinned my head.

"The other purpose - I wonder if the terms of victory can be received on par...... I mean -"

"Destroy mankind with the sun of purification, or destroy mankind with the resurrection of evil gods,"

I nodded.

On the point of why we must destroy humanity, I think that is the only way to think about it.

Whatever the reason, I'm sure I don't understand...

"So, vice versa - what are the defeat conditions?

"... maybe two"

"Huh. Say it?

"Will they stop the annihilation of mankind, or will Jack die"

"You're doing great."

Teena grinned and stood up fairy-sized thumbs.

I miss being complimented by someone, and my mouth unwittingly breaks.

"Suicide in public execution. That woman has always intervened at a time when Jack was dying. Well, of course it is. Sometimes when you think about it, you know."

"What do you know?

"On the contrary, try to remember when that woman didn't intervene. For example, when I fought the Elvis. Jack was caught up to a step ahead of defeat, but that woman didn't come out until the battle was completely over. I guess this is because I knew Samizina would go into shelter. On the other hand, in a pattern where Samizina does not come into shelter, we started intervening slightly earlier"

... Oh well.

1st Circumference - In Samizina's pattern of sheltering Jack, Girl X manifested her nature only after the solar burst of purification.

Meanwhile, in a pattern where Samizina doesn't shelter Jack, Elvis showed up at a time when he tried to stab Todome. Because if you leave it, Jack dies.

This would also be a testament to her being going back in time.

"Remember the Evil God route in the same way you think. What happened to that woman when Jack challenged the Evil God alone - in a dangerous situation, unprecedented? Did you try to stop Jack?

"... didn't. I knew Jack wouldn't die fighting evil gods...? No -"

I knew the Evil God wouldn't do anything inconvenient to me...?

"Oh. Not even evidence, but this is a testimony that demonstrates that the Evil God is under the full control of that woman. What the hell kind of logic is that?"

"Teena doesn't even know...?

"At the moment, we don't all see it.... but it doesn't matter if we stop the Evil God from resurrecting itself"

"... that would be best if you could..."

I cloud my face.

If you can do that, you won't have a hard time.

"Don't look like that, sister. Beautiful face ruined."

"Because how...? Even though I'm not sure about the conditions for the resurrection of the Evil God..."

"We're going to find out now."

Teena turned her gaze out the window.

I haven't had a time-leap yet.

Girl X took Jack away and he's in the same condition.

There is a burning letter on the wall of the room: 'Thank you for returning it, Mr. Hetale'.

"Probably around the time that woman thinks you're coming to get Jack back. If you let it go, one of these days, the demonized Samizina will come and bump into you. Now's your chance. There's a place I'd like to look."

"What's that?

"That woman seems to be hiding evidence around and hiding her footsteps, but that's complete too. Bye. I didn't miss my eye. In a situation where evil gods are about to be resurrected and wars are taking place, there is obviously information that floats and sees - traces of intervention in the time flow. I'm sure it has something to do with that."

Information that obviously looked floating......?

The evil gods are about to come back to life, and there's a war going on - that means when I broke up with Azerea and Jack and visited Helmina...?

"Sister."

Tina laughed invincibly.

"When you heard about Elvis being executed, and then you visited Hermina in the Kingdom of Lowe, the guards said, right?" There was sabotage at the temple. "

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

"I'm in a war now. You can't let the rest of us through! Even though there was just a sabotage at the Artifact Palace......!!

Sure, the guard said that.

That's when I flushed it out: 'It's during the war, and that's gonna happen'...

"At that time, the enemies of the Kingdom of Lowe were the Republic of Cenli, but what's the point of breaking the temple of artifacts? Hey, you know, to nothing. It's unnatural."

"What artifact hall... was it a building about four kinds of artifacts?

"Yes, this is where the Land Shield of the Kingdom of Lowe is worshipped."

The sword of heaven, the shield of the earth, the bow of the shadow, the wand of the yang.

Four kinds of artifacts that supposedly sealed the Evil God--

"... indeed, I don't think it has anything to do with the resurrected Evil God"

Anyway, it's an item directly involved in the seal.

"Right? We have to go. Now that woman is a no-mark."

I was so drawn back to leaving Jack taken away, but I managed to break this off as a world of dreams.

To Bradya, King of Lowe's capital, which I have never known before.

Since Jack's public execution has not taken place around here, the king is still alive and Hermina should remain a princess.

There has also been no war of aggression by the Republic of Cenli.

Because I had taken Jack, the demon king, I didn't know if I should be distracted or nervous, there was an air of neither.

It's going to be a mess when I see people now.

Waiting for the night after the disguise, I head to the temple of artifacts.

The temple of artifacts was about a mile from the royal castle.

In the night darkness stands the majesty of White Asia.

Above the entrance, which seemed ten meters tall, a relief following the Royal family crest of Lowe proudly overlooked the king's capital.

Big.

If used as a residence, the three digits would be lightly comfortable to live in.

I don't really think it's a building for a single shield.

A number of bonfires have been burned at all costs on the premises, and many soldiers have patrolled with an unafraid look.

But that's just the outside of the shrine, too.

Apparently it's a so-called sanctuary inside, something you shouldn't come in on.

"To save the world. Even the sanctuary will be happy to welcome you."

"Say something convenient..."

Hihihi, and Teena laughing prankily, hide herself in [a single realm] and slip through security.

... Now you can infiltrate means you can infiltrate both Ruby and - Ruby Become Girl X.

The thick iron door at the entrance was naturally heavily locked.

Go around the outer wall and find the window.

If you can even see through the gaze, it belongs here.

[Scarce void hole] was used to ignore the wall and move into the room.

"Hey. [Scattered Dotted Hole] So there's a limit to where you can travel or something?

"This is my case... but basically within sight. If you want to move something else, you must mark it beforehand."

"Huh? Marking? Are you sorry about the field?

"... don't call people like dogs. [Miraculous Void Hole] is a spiritual art that creates a 'hole' in space that instantly connects remote places to each other, but it feels like installing something like a species at its exit in the space itself beforehand... Imagine the place and the 'hole' will connect you."

"Yeah. I mean, you can't travel instantly unless it's where you went once"

"Yeah. If I hadn't, it would have been easier to get into Jack's"

I think that Jack flew Dimkuld into the air with some [miraculous void hole] measures.

The marking is to be installed against the spatial coordinates, so if you keep moving, it will be almost impossible to break into a single flight with [a dashed hole in the tracks].

"Hey. Could that be..."

Teena called out something and shook her wearing immediately, "No".

"Is it a good story to try then? Let's focus on this one now."

……

Not if you care, but you do chat for a long time.

It was dark in the temple of artifacts, as if it were a cave.

There's just plain air and tense silence that can get in, and I don't feel any signs of people.

Again, they don't have security inside.

"Looks good with a focus on speed. Well, if you make any mistakes, you can start over. Ha!"

"I don't like that thought somehow..."

If you fail, you can start over, what a thought, I feel lighter about doing nothing...

Instead of Cantera, the [lights of dawn] flame proceeded behind the corridor of darkness.

After a while listening to the footsteps echoing for a long time with Katoon...... Katoon...... I see a pale light ahead.

Looks like we're here.

In the light, I stepped in.

Moments - I was looking to nature, to the ceiling.

I don't think it's in the building, a vast space.

The hexagonal wall stretches straight up and supports a domed stained glass.

The pale light that fills the space is the moonlight colored by polar-colored glass.

I felt like my body was being purified by the falling light.

In the center of a space full of light, there is one pedestal.

Above it was a shield shining like a mirror.

It's such a big shield that it completely covers up the big man.

And I approach the pedestal, and behold, the shield is laid down.

Silver? No, some kind of gem......?

Brilliantly reflecting stained glass light It's not sure what it's made of at first glance.

No matter what the material is, how big and heavy will it be?

If you're a normal person, you can't even lift them up.

Nothing was covered, but no scratches, no dust... "The Shield of the Earth" stood still, exactly like a moon gleaming in the night sky.

"... this is the shield of the earth..."

"No, no. Because it's different."

"What!?

As I turned around in surprise, Teena laughed shards.

"The real thing is so grandly decorated. Even replicas like this have a fixed market. Perhaps it's more in the back…"

Teena in a fairy state flies around the pedestal of The Shield of the Land.

"Hmm," or "here?" What can I say, after looking around the pedestal from all over,

"Whoa. Mickey."

Behind the pedestal. He pushed his knee about the same height with his little hand.

Zuzzy concave.

Switch............!?

Shortly after surprise, the pedestal began to make a stone molar sound.

Slowly sliding sideways.

After the pedestal moved, a black hole - no, a staircase leading down to the basement - appeared.

"... hidden stairs...?

"Hugh. Not really."

Stairs hidden under Dummy's 'Shield of the Land'.

Underground......

What floats behind my brain, of course, was a temple that was spreading beneath the College of Spiritual Arts.

"Let's go, sister"

I nod and carefully descend the stairs to the basement.

The stairs were long.

I keep coming down for about five minutes and finally I come to the bottom.

Unlike the well-maintained and well-cleaned artefact temple on the ground, the basement was stripped of worn stone walls and the dust was all-you-can-do.

It's going to collapse now.

In fact, when I gently touched the wall, the blurry surface peeled off.

How many years ago the hell was it made......

The road was straight.

As we rely on the lights of [Dawn Light], we head out into a large space without delay.

It's the first place I've been.

I was supposed to, but I had a strong sense of ready-to-see.

I know a place very similar here.

In a long large space in the back, 72 stone statues were lined up.

"Heh. That's an indication - it's not the same as the underground temple of the college."

36 to the right.

36 to the left.

On a pedestal of a total of 72, a variety of heterogeneous stone statues.

All of them follow the Spirit.

I have never taken my feet so many times myself.

When you tell me where the junction room is, I just saw it once.

But certainly, there was the same place.

In the basement of the College of Spiritual Arts, there was a room lined with spiritual statues like this...

"Huh. The one in the basement of the academy collapsed and buried, I'm sure."

"... Yep. Seven years ago in battle"

"So now it's impossible to prove whether it's the exact same design. I don't even have to prove it."

I walk among spiritual statues.

The spiritual statues are all pointing inward, so it seems kind of unsettling to be watched.

Meanwhile, Tina didn't hesitate, she was flying around that way.

"... the only ones in your sister's library were # 46 (Bifronce), # 36 (Asmodeus) and # 1 (Baal)?

"Yeah. That's it?

"No. Think those three look weird at last. If you look at it from the entrance and it's 72nd in front of you on the right, this is 46th -" Unidentified Bifronce, "right? Just a rock."

Indeed......

The statue in the position of "Bifronce" was a single rock shaped like Shizukuishi.

"Nh, this is number 36," Abominable Lip Asmodeus. "Beautiful girl figure."

Phew... I'm not sure, but [Asmodeus] looks like a girl dressed fanatically.

I think it's probably the image of a whore.

"Asmodeus" is supposedly responsible for "lust" among spirits, leading humans to decadence.

"Extreme is this. No. 1 (Baal) …"

Of those that line up on the left from the entrance, the pedestal placed in the deepest part.

In placement, where there should be (Baal) at position 1 of the sequence.

There was nothing there.

On the pedestal, it was just blank.

But that's also a nod story.

"Because" Baal "is the head of the spirits and is considered to be the most fearful spirit..."

"Depicting that figure is disrespectful, isn't it? I don't like making idols. So no one knows the official name..."

Teena looked at the blank pedestal and sarcastically bent her lips.

"... smell it"

"Huh?"

"Ainya. Nothing. Let's hurry up."

Teena flies to the back.

... I don't want you to say or act too thoughtful.

Or are we avoiding the one called excessive interference with cause and effect?

In the end, you mean you have to think for yourself what really matters......

Follow Tina to the back of the Spirit Statue room.

Through the kannon opening door, it was another dark hallway.

The road is wider than it was earlier and there is enough room for four people to walk side by side.

"Your sister's been in the underground temple of the college, hasn't she? What do you say, look alike?

"It feels similar... I think. The dark corridor continues all the way..."

"Damn, that fucking baba. You shut the fuck up about this in the basement of the academy. He can't eat."

Heh, his nose snapped like a stubborn, and Tina pointed her lips.

Though I feel Tula always behaved sparingly, my daughter Teena is pretty much the other way around.

Do not hide, do not hide, behave yourself as is.

Don't try to mislead your attitude or expression.

No, you don't feel the need for it.

So it was also read by me, who was dull.

It was only a moment past the look on Tina's face, the black shadow......

"... how did you get gelded?

Teena raises her eyebrows at the questions rolled out in the guise of a tone of public discourse.

"Uh? What, all of a sudden"

"If you do that gedatsu thing, you won't be able to see anyone, will you?... Tura and I were not close?

"Ha! It wasn't bad."

Tina snorted angrily and looked up at the stone ceiling.

"The conversation itself, in the first place, was one that I only did enough to count. Atashi did what he wanted, and that Baba did what he wanted. That's good for each other. We were friends like parents and children. I can't believe it didn't fit the sex."

"What about Mr. Clive?

"The jerk... well, he was a fuzzy jerk.... Oh, no, it's not just the courage that got that Lori Lori Baba pregnant."

Hihihihi, a carefree laugh flows down the dark hallway.

I saw a fairy-sized girl half-eyed.

"... that's what the real parents are talking about, are you okay...?

"I don't know because Oyaji was the type to fall in love with kids. I've also encountered (...) in the middle. Baba's face was a sight to behold then. My little girl around here turned bright red. Come on, I pointed her in the finger and I burst into laughter."

"What..."

Oh, that Toula, like a normal girl...?

... Really, love seems to change people.

"It was amazing to think about the tattoo complacency of a jerk back then. You usually get awkward when your kids see you like that, don't you? And then I saw Baba shy."

"Hey, wait a minute......! 'Cause I'm gonna be awkward any more...!

"Hihihihihi! Actually, you're giving up your master, aren't you, sister?

Teena's too dawn!

When she grins slightly as she teases, she turns her gaze far away to the ceiling.

It's an eye peeking into a distant past.

It's like I miss you...... or...

"... Actually, I invited Baba, too, before we broke free."

After a period of silence, the pounding and whining fell.

"Only life expectancy sucks. He should have been able to become an impromptu Buddha, like Atashi. Then you don't have to do any annoying work. Then..."

"Then what?"

"... 'This one's funnier,' he said."

- Oh. It's...

"- Wow, it looks like Toula..."

A pranky grin comes to my eyes.

Live hundreds of years of life, still funny and free - sometimes throw away even the easier options yourself.

"Where is it funny," I thought then.

At the edge of Teena's mouth, a smile seeped that mocked herself all the time.

"... just a little now, you know what I mean"

"Why...?

"Well..."

Tina's eyes turned to me, it was then.

A big shake hit the underground space.

I lay down my hands on the wall.

The dust fell from the ceiling, and the old stone walls distorted and increased the cracks.

"Hey, what...!?

"Earthquake...? No, I can't believe there was an earthquake at this hour -!!"

To Teena's words, as if to interrupt.

Variety, and cracks run.

Not on the floor.

Not on the wall.

Not on the ceiling.

In front of you, in the space itself.

"... hey... you're lying...?

So far, no matter what, Tina had settled calmly… At this time, for the first time, she opened her mouth with dismay.

From beyond the torn space, Agate crawls out.

Then the neck.

Then the torso.

Then the wings.

They were all covered in pitch-black scales -

"Mi...... found (...) Huh!!?

Further cracks run radially, focusing on cracks.

The space is broken and crushed like glass.

A ruinous intruder finally revealed the whole thing.

That's a knight.

Crossed by black dragons, dragon knight.

- A demonic knight, with three faces.

The devil laughs from nowhere.

"-Hey, I found it..."
