A consciousness that was slowly sinking surfaces. Blurry to wake from sleep, when I opened my eyes... the first thing I saw was a clo with a face that was still about to cry out.

"Kite! Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?... about me, properly... remember?

That voice that asks anxiously, the weak figure of Crowe, who doesn't get to see much, says it's fresh somewhere... I smiled to reassure myself while thinking about such a misplaced thing.

"... it's obvious, Cro"

"Kite, hey!?

As I hugged the jumping clo, I woke up and looked around... there were really a lot of people there.

Isis, Lilia, Sieg, Alice, Faith... there are so many people around me that I can't count.

Really, it's a pleasure... and this is how the people I've been spinning bonds to help. How happy you are...... yeah, over 80%, people are 'totally first sight' instead of spinning bonds, but let's put that aside.

They all threw words one after another that delighted me to be safe, at a time when I was about to cry at that warm thought... I could hear voices that sounded uninterrupted in space.

"Again, it was brilliant. As promised, I will fulfill your wish. Not only that, but also with regard to the interworlds summoned together that you will probably want, it will allow you to travel between worlds as well. The Earth God has also acknowledged this."

"... Shiro"

When Mr. Shilo appeared softly, the Divine Clans knelt together, and Crowe stood up the other way and turned a sharp eye to Mr. Shilo.

It is understandable that Crowe is angry with Mr. Shiro without having to use sensitive magic. And I'm glad you're angry for me.

But there's something I need to check before I do. So I stood up and asked Mr. Shiro with a thin smile, controlling with my hand the clo that was still going to hit Mr. Shiro.

"... So, Mr. Shiro. Come on, can you tell me? After all, what happens if I fail the trial? Did they really erase your memory, as Crowe said?

……

In the fourth trial, only time for thought was enough. That's why I was trying to use that time to find out what Mr. Shiro intended.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I still didn't think Mr. Shiro was trying to erase my memory.

Of course there is trust in Shiro, but more than that... if Shiro's purpose is to erase my memory, I think there are many other ways.

Mr. Shiro is almost almighty, and if the goal is to erase my memory, there's no reason to bother choosing a way around a trial. It would have been easy to rewrite my memories for Shiro's convenience.

That is why I have decided to ask Mr Shiro's sincerity here and now.

Having heard my words, Mr. Shiro tilted his neck after a little silence... with no expression.

"If you fail the trial, will the memory of Mr. Fast Man disappear? 'I didn't say a word about that?

"Huh?

Listening to Mr. Shiro's reply, Clo's expression turns into something blatant. No, everyone else as well as Cro is stunned.

"Hey, hey, Shilo, what do you mean?

"Nothing...... I don't remember saying that I would erase the memory of the Happy Man, or that I would erase the memory of the Happy Man if I failed the trial"

"Become!? Yes, no! Then what are you!!

Even against Cro, who asks hastily, Mr. Shiro returns his words with his neck tilted. Then Crowe pointed to something like a big cocoon.

"I don't even remember saying that I was the cradle of oblivion?

"Become... Huh? Ah... well, then, alle... what?

"What, is it? If you insist, 'only the exterior is just a cradle that resembles a cradle of oblivion'...... is it?

……

Hearing Shiro responding pale, Crowe became stubborn and hardened. Then, shortly afterwards, I heard Mr. Faye from behind me.

"... I didn't say"

"Mr. Faith?

"Indeed... if you ask me, Master Shalovanal was also saying that when he explained to us, 'If I were to erase the memory of the fast man, it would be a must be a great battle' or something like that. I can't believe I erased Kai's memory... I didn't say"

There was something else in the Word that came to mind about the other Divine tribes, and Mr. Kronor and Mr. Life also have a somewhat upset look on their face.

But Mr. Shiro doesn't look like he cared about that reaction, and he turns to me and opens his mouth.

"So, what would have happened if I had failed the trial… I don't think it makes any sense, but let me answer you"

"... Yes"

Yes, we haven't solved it all yet. Hidden Siro's sincerity... what is the real purpose...

"If the fast man fails the trial... oh my God... 'I couldn't try again for a year'"

……

The words brought silence to the space. Me, too, the response is unexpected and flashy.

No, I mean...

"... Retry... were you able to?

"I don't even remember telling you to clear it in one go, etc?

... I really don't remember being told to clear it in one go or take one chance...

"By the way, when you try again, you can try again from where you failed last time, and when it came to the last trial, we had the remedy that every time you try again, you'll have half the time you need to clear it."

……

Convenient auto-save function with reduced difficulty… due to presence.

"Instead, as far as I'm concerned, I took the time to make it... and I'm very dissatisfied with being cleared in one shot"

You said you were unhappy, right!? Hey, I don't know what this... it all feels like it was rolled over Shiro's palm...

Or if it's retriable... just tell me first. Ooh!?
