In the end, out of seven years spent as a Wang Du Knight, Gardenia encountered three major incidents in total, looping through time.

They all worked strange surveys and were of the consequences that led to death.

Magic guidance, miracles, miracles —— I gathered literature in all fields if I had time, and looked into monstrous phenomena going back in time, but I didn't know anything for sure.

—— but I've only found out one thing.

"Isn't the Ice Knight using suspicious techniques and predicting the future"

When she heard such an absurd rumor, Gardenia remembered her own ancestors.

The infamous savage Baltic ancestors who were exotic mercenaries but defeated one enemy general after another, and finally took the head of the general and gave it to the king.

His activity, he said, seemed to predict the future, but it was only a matter of time.

Also not just the original ancestors, the Baltic family is left with some anecdotes of human beings who freshly played "Impossible Martial Medals" on the battlefield.

"You're not standing up for a martial arts medal," he said, and the story always closes, but that's not the problem.

... No way, weren't the original ancestors looping through time just like themselves?

And isn't this ability something that's ready for the whole clan?

With that in mind, Gardenia, at the age of 26, never wrote to her brother, "Have you ever had an experience that traces back the moment of death?"

I didn't hear back. He lost his life on the battlefield before he could receive a letter.

Apparently, the loop doesn't adapt to the whole clan.

What an ironic form, that proved it.

The death of his brother, who was to succeed him, led Gardenia to resign from her position in the King's Capital and return to her homeland with her husband.

And I had three children. The children grew up unconnected and had six grandchildren.

If you realize it, Gardenia was over 50 years old and more than 20 years were about to pass since the last loop.

In the meantime, I haven't encountered any new loops.

Once upon a time, a strange experience even seemed like a dream, and the desire to know the truth about the loop was no longer withered.

Probably wouldn't do the loop myself.

Gardenia thinks so, feeling old accumulating in her body every day.

The first time I died, that time I did a loop. There was a vague certainty that "now is not the time to die".

Perhaps that feeling is not wrong. There was something I had to do with my young self. That's why I wasn't allowed to die.

But when you pass the turning point of your life and look at your descendants, the role you have to play is over.

I'm sure my role was to have children and connect the Baltic genealogy to the rest of the world.

Maybe the kids, or one of the grandchildren, have the qualities of a loop as well.

But there's no way to be sure of that. I'm not even going to warn you. If you don't know who you are, you should pass the time without realizing it.

Loop brought Gardenia a solution to the case, but the experience of death that accompanied it (and, not more than three times) definitely cut the spirit.

I don't want them to taste that pain.

... besides, it is a house full of fools who will lose their lives following home training. If you accidentally tell me about the loop, when you're in a predicament, a raw man may show up choosing to die himself for a miracle one-shot reversal. That's all you have to avoid.

That's how Gardenia decided to seal the facts of the loop deep in her memory.

It should be.

One day the spring storm will blow.

Gardenia's eldest son —— Cyrus' wife -- gave birth to a baby. For Gardenia, he was his seventh grandson.

"You, see. Girl."

"Oh well. A girl."

Cyrus' voice trembles. He already had three sons, but it was his first time as a woman's child.

"I'm already more energetic than my brothers. This kid's gonna need a lot of help."

"I'm a girl. I'm sure she'll be a gentle, sophisticated child, just like you."

I'm surprised to receive my child, and Cyrus repeats "girl" over and over. He was so happy.

His wife looks at her husband, including a little bitter laughter, as she lays in bed. And I turned to Gardenia standing in the corner of the room.

"Mother-in-law. Please hold this girl."

"... Yep, bye"

Gardenia approaches Cyrus carrying my child and peeks into his arms.

A slightly larger newborn was crying.

"Mother, it's a girl."

"I know, sir"

Return that to your floating son and receive your grandson.

Then you didn't like the way you held her, baby wow! and open your eyes,

"Uh-oh."

Roared.

"Mother, it's a girl, so I need to hold her gently."

"Have you forgotten you have a sister?"

Gardenia swayed to give up the baby, slightly frustrated by her orous son.

Instead of calming down, however, the baby gains more momentum and begins to squirt and kick Gardenia.

You were just born, it was a pretty good kick.

Billy and current run where he got kicked.

……

"Mother, she still doesn't seem to like it. Let me hold you for once."

……

"Mother?"

Cyrus calls me, and Gardenia returns to me.

And he gently returned the baby, moving like a fish, to his father's arms. A little hateful, the baby grows up as soon as he returns to Cyrus' arms "heh..."

"Well, can you tell the father? After all, girls are something different from boys."

Cyrus smiles with a good grin.

But I no longer felt irritated by such a trivial thing.

—— It has to be said that it was a total reckoning.

But Gardenia was convinced.

This guy will do something in the future.
