I Favor the Villainess

"Looks like you got your memory back, Ray-Taylor."

That's what the Pope said the most.

This is the Pope's private room at Bauer Cathedral.

It was a decorative, simplistic, but elegant room, and it really felt like a religious leader.

In addition to the Pope, Lily and me, there is also Sandrine, who serves the Pope.

The day after the time raid, I was summoned by the Pope and came to the cathedral with Lily.

Just before I tried to explain about Claire, a cry from the Pope was the beginning.

"Come, memory... So, does the Pope know about the tampering with memory?"

"Yes"

Well, what do you mean?

Lily's question is correct.

People from all over the world - even strong people like Lily and Manaria could not escape the time memory tampering, how come the Pope is the only one?

"That's probably because I'm your isotope, Ray-Taylor."

According to the Pope's explanation, this seems to be the case.

It seems that the Pope has also been tampered with in his memories, including his knowledge of Claire.

So all of a sudden, last night, everything went back to normal.

Thank you, it seems that the insurance-dollar's fantastic magic has caused some dust in the implication of time.

"This morning, I had a petition. Come in."

"Excuse me."

The Pope invited me in as a nun who looked just like the Pope and me.

Mr Elie!

"Long time no see, Lily!"

The nun, called Elie, is just like me, whom Lily met on her trip.

She was also lost by the Spirit and met Lily when she came to Susie on her redemption journey.

I have heard with Claire that Lily has been in trouble consultation with Elie who has fallen in love with a homosexual before.

Elie is now staying with Marie in Bauer.

She visited Lily to celebrate her success in battle.

"Why is Elie here?"

"Because something was going wrong...."

Elie said she didn't have any doubts about it until last night, but she started feeling uncomfortable this morning.

At the celebration, there were stories about the triumphant men of the three great Demon Kings (although it was exactly Demon Kings), but Claire's name never came out.

Elie herself had no acquaintance with Claire, but she began to think it was strange that she had heard about Bauer's revolutionary maiden and that Lily had spoken to her.

So she came to complain to Bauer Cathedral.

"Apparently, Ray-Taylor and his isotopes are the only ones recovering memories."

"That kind of thing....."

What the hell is going on?

"If it's okay to mix guesses, I'll explain."

"Please, I need a clue to get Claire out of here."

I asked for a straw.

"First, let me give you a little background explanation.When I became Pope, I gained knowledge of the truth of this world.Spiritualism is part of the system and plays a coordinating role in world history. "

Before Spiritualism was established as Spiritualism, the system had acted as a coordinator of human history since the time of primitive religion.

"System? Adjustment of history?"

Well, what do you mean?

Elie and Lily, who were tampering with their memories, did not have knowledge of the system, so I explained it again.

"That kind of thing....."

"Well, I wonder why I forgot..."

When he had finished following them, the Pope continued.

"As Pope, I have become the terminal of the system and, to a certain extent, share the memory and behavior of time.She tampered with human memory with incomplete implied magic, but it was still incomplete.Those who have a strong attachment to Claire, like Ray-Taylor, seem to have had a shallow time. "

And as a result of sending me a complete copy of the suggestion from Saras, I met the triggering conditions of Dollar's fantastic magic, and I encountered a retribution.

"The magic of Dollar-Francois seems to have damaged Time.I didn't fall prey to fantastic magic like Saras-Lilium, but there was a hint of dust.As a result, the memory of Ray-Taylor and his isotopes seems to have been restored. "

Lucky for me.

I can't thank Mr. Dollar enough.

"Do you know where time is right now?"

"The answer to that question is difficult, Ray-Taylor.Time is a system, so it's everywhere.You should have thought you were listening to the conversation now. "



"But time also seems to be magically damaging.They won't be able to move freely for a while. "

Yes, now is your chance.

This seems to be an opportunity that may never happen again.

Well, what about Claire? Where is Claire? "

I heard what I had always wanted to hear.

"Claire-François... is here in the cathedral."

Huh?

Claire... is she here?

"In that case, help me right away!"

"Wait, Ray-Taylor.She is in the cathedral, but precisely in its basement.And it's also where the main frame of the loop system is. "

I mean...

"Yes, she's in the system."

"!?... Oh, my God..."

Then... can Claire get it back?

When I get in doubt,

"No, I still have a chance.She's not dead. "

Let's explain in turn, the Pope continued.

"System administrator privileges are now temporarily timed.It is because time has kept both under control and the delegation of administrator authority has been temporarily suspended in the process of transferring it to Claire-François, who was formerly the administrator. "

Time is temporarily replacing administrator privileges that have lost their destination.

The Pope explained to me that it was a power hijacking through a hole in the system.

"In other words, for time, Claire-François needs to be alive.There's the gap we're opening. "

"What should I do?"

"It restores Claire-François's consciousness.She is now captured in time, but if she is stripped, she will be delegated administrator privileges.That way, Claire-François won't be able to take time. "

Hope was born.

The path to get Claire back is somehow connected.

Well then, gather people as soon as possible...

"That's impossible, Ray-Taylor."

"Why!"

No matter how much time it takes to act as a system, it's a man-sea tactic.

"Because the server room with the system mainframe can only be accessed by people with administrator privileges."

Thinking about it, if I could do that, time would be doing something about it.

The opponent has managed the history of mankind for tens of thousands of years... and hundreds of millions of years if not worse.

Does it mean that the strategy is not usually difficult?

"But the other way around is if you're an administrator, you can get in."

"But there are no administrators among us....."

"As I mentioned earlier, the delegation of administrator privileges is in a vague state.I mean, it's still in the Devil King. "

That means....

"Yes, Demon King - I, Elie, and you are equals of Ohashi Zero."

I did it.

Hope is connected.

"Nevertheless, the server room also has a defense system.We need to break through that first..... "

"I have an idea."

"Sandrine??"

Sandrine suddenly said that in a strangely cold tone.

I'm borrowing my body.I'm Ohashi Zero - no, it's confusing, so let's say this again. "

In Sandrine's face, he said (...) woman (...):

I am the Demon King. However, it depends on time to be delivered. "
