The divine domain is a small island compared to the whole divine world. Still quite large...... but yeah. Somehow I thought Mr. Shiro was in this place.

The realm is still a starry sky... and this place, where the flowers bloom narrowly at your feet, is where me and Mr. Shiro first met.

Illuminated by the stars, at the edge of the flower garden...... the figure of Mr. Shiro standing somewhere where the divine world can look down is going to be somehow truly artistic and unexpectedly seen.

"... fast man? Why are you here?

"Eh, I really had to tell Mr. Shiro something..."

Shaking my eyes only slightly at my appearance, Mr. Shiro asks in a faceless and unchallenged voice.

"What do I have to say......?

"... Yes"

Nodding, I was thinking of Mr. Elise's fortune before. Reverse position door...... for me victory in the true sense of the word can't just be obtained by beating Mr. Shiro, I have to find the key to opening the door.

I've been thinking about that, too, during that last trial. What is the key and what is the true victory to do......

What looks like a key... was found. But I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do...

It's kind of an intuition...... I think this is probably the 'first and last chance'. I can only turn the key once, and if I make a mistake... I will never open that door again. That's what Mr. Shiro feels when he wears the lid.

So I hesitated a little. But... well, in the end, all I can do is hit my feelings honestly, and I don't know if I'm right or wrong... but let's properly tell Shiro what it feels like to gush into my heart right now.

"... 'If I was the first to meet you... if I was the one who saved you... could I be your, specially...?

"Huh!?

The moment I said the word, there was a clear upset in Mr. Shiro's eyes.

"... I don't remember where or from whom I heard these words. But only words were strong in my mind. After all... that's what Shiro said to me."

……

Words that have been caught on my head ever since the Six Kings Festival. That word I felt I should never forget, even though I don't even remember who I heard it from......

Mr. Shiro says nothing. But I'm sure. It was Mr. Shiro who said this word, and said that this word had Mr. Shiro's wish......

"Here's my answer to this question." Even if the order in which we meet changes, I'm sure it won't change now. "

……

For a moment the colour of sorrow came to Mr. Shiro's expression, but that turned into something completely different in my next words.

"Because even now Mr. Shiro is' special 'to me and' the only one who exists'... I can't think of anything more special. So I don't think it's gonna change."

"... Huh?

"I mean, why would I be so sure at this point, but if you're de natural and disastrous, like Mr. Shiro, there's no way you're any different, is there?

"... Huh? Huh?"

Somehow, I saw something very rare. That Mr. Shiro is obviously confused. Feel like I'm not following my understanding......

"... special? Me? But... I didn't save Mr. Happy..."

"You're probably going to be detained there...... So, look, who was it that treated me so badly injured in Rigforesia?

"... it's me"

"So you're saying I was saved by Mr. Shiro."

"... yes, will it?

"Will be."

Mr. Shiro seems to be restrained in the part about saving me if he does, so he decides to push it off in that direction, albeit slightly more forceful.

Well, of course, I know that what Mr. Shiro is saying about 'saving' means something else, but I really can't help but erase all that in my memory, so I decide to convince you in another part.

"... and one more thing. Do you remember? When me and Shiro first met... Shiro said he'd give you what I wanted and I turned it down, didn't I?

"Yes."

"I don't know, thank you. It's because Mr. Shiro put those choices before me... that I understood what I really wanted"

……

"But, well... it's me"

Stop the words you were telling Shiro to fold up when he seemed upset... I move to the sight of Shiro to put my thoughts into words.

"... it doesn't matter. I don't know what the order is or what I did...... Mr. Shiro has helped me many times. I was often swept away, but the time we spent together really made me feel fun and happy. I was attracted to the being of no one else Shalovanal...... so I will say it again and again. You are so special to me that no one can replace you."

……

Smiling and telling her that Mr. Shiro was special and unique, Ms. Shiro opened her eyes wide and silenced. And after a little while... I let my face down on the pretend.

"... hehe, hehe..."

"Mr. Shiro?

"... haha, did I... was I special to you already... haha, you should be able to read your mind... you don't understand"

I've seen Mr. Shiro smile several times before. But I've never seen Mr. Shiro laugh so fun-filled.

As it was, Mr. Shiro chuckled and then turned his gaze all the way to the divine sky.

"... oh... really... I'm 'glad I made this world'"

……

"There's something in this world that I don't know... there's something I can't..."

And Mr. Shiro turned his slightly tearful eyes to me and uttered a deep, emotional cage.

"... to me... there's a 'tale I can't finish'... oh, I can't believe it..."

Maybe I'll never forget the look on Mr. Shiro's face today. In a flower garden lit by the stars, the goddess smiled surprisingly soft.

"... my God... it must be 'happiness'"

When I was happy that there was something I couldn't do, the look on my face telling me to sing... was so beautiful I couldn't help but lose my words.

"Thank you, fast man...... and congratulations. My love, my singularity… you have indeed defeated the God of the End (I). Now for the first time... I set myself up in a place that wasn't terminated"

I wasn't sure what that word meant, but apparently the key I found was the right one. I see, it does seem... that there was an amazing treasure hidden at the end of the door.

I thought seeing Shiro's expression right now would have been the best reward for the trial...... from the bottom of my heart, Shiro's smile was so soft that it seemed so.
